Limburger Bait Lures Catfish on Hook in Kansas. ‘Whether it is the odor or the flavor that makes limberger cheese so pop- ular with the catfish in the Smoky Hill River is not known, but, any way, the fish take it, and take it quick, says a¥Salina correspondent of the Topeka Capital. Fishermen have been using it all seasons, and a careful in- quiry at the grocery stores indicates that not less than $1,000 worth of the limburger cheese has been used since April 1 for fish bait. Before it was generally known that the fish were taking it readily the few who knew it bought in large quantities and caused a famine of limburger in Salina. Then the grocers bought heavily and now they are buying reg- ularly to supply the trade. It is not every cheese bait placed on a hook that gets a fish. The cat- fish have learned how to remove the cheese and they do it frequently in the Smoky Hill. On Sunday last one fisherman caught a large catfish with limburger. Upon cleaning it he dis- covered that his fishership had swal- lowed almost a pound of limburger cheese that day before being caught. The fish had a large assortment of cheese to choose from, as there were many hooks in the water and the {most of them were baited with the isame kind of bait, and it cost in the neighborhood of 75 cents a pound. .

He shook hands with Hodson and nodded to Grant, “We're up against a nasty piece of business, Colenel,” he announced. “I wanted you to see exactly how things stood for yourself before the police got_hold of it.” “Get on with the story, Poynter,” Hodson invited. “In the first place,” the detective pointedl out, “the girl's bell is cut. You see the wire there. It's clean cut, been done with a pair of nippers, within the last hour or two. Now come inside, sir. But,” he added, his hand upon the handle of the door, *“you must be prepared for something unpleasant.” “The young lady?” Grant exclaimed. “She 'is dead,” Poynter answered gravely. “The scene is set for suicide. Personally I think there is not the slightest “doubt but that she was murdered. The door of her room was locked and the key is nowhere in her room. I picked the lock after I had tracked her down. This way, sir. The smell is still bad, but I have had the window open an hour.” They entered what was little more than a garret bedroom. On the bed lay the body of Mademoiselle Cleo. Mr. Poynter raised the sheet which he had drawn over her face and let it drop almost immediately. Above the girl's head was the gas jet and from it a small plece of tube hung downward. The remains of the im- prisoned gas were still escaping by the open window. “She was quite dead when I picked the lock,” Poynter told them, “and for the moment I thought that the gas would get me. I managed to make a rush for it to the window, though.” “‘But surely all this points to her having committed sulcide?’ Grant queried. * “I am perfectly certain all the same that she did not,” the detective re plled. “Not only her bell been cut but the telephone is cut too. She was lying half across the floor, trying to reach it or the window when I round her, and the window was fastened down with a nail which had recently been driven in. is not the le powerful person entered her room, held her down until the last moment, then rushed out, locking the door be- “Slattery,” he announced, "you win all around, so far as this girl's con- cerned. They've had her up before headquarters while we've been away, discharged her, and they have the effrontery to assure me that they let her walk out of the court without ask- ing where she was going to, or with- out having her followed. They've just turned her loose in New York and left us to hunt. I don't like it. Come along!"” “Where to?" Grant asked. “To see some friends of mine, who can tackle this job,” was the stern reply. “We ought to be able to find her before many hours are passed. CHAPTER XIIL Hodson and Grant dined together that evening in the latter's room, and Grant was in the middle of his promised story of Funderstrom's ab- duction when the telephone rang. A man’s voice asked for Colonel Hodson. Grang passed over the receiver. “An urgent call for you, Hodson," he announced. Hodson spoke a few brief words and listened. “We'll be along in ten minutes,” he sald as he laid down the receiver. “Slattery,” he went on, “that was a man from Poynter’s Detective Agency speaking. They're the people we called on this morning about this young woman. They think they've found her. Will you come along with me?" ‘Sure,” Grant assented. “Anything wrong, do you think?" ‘I rather gathered o," grave reply. They jumped into a taxi and Hodson gave the man an address on the other side of the Park. In about twenty minutes they pulled up outside what was evidently a second-class lodging house.

You had better notify the police, Poynter, and stand by while they take note of the things you have pointed out to me. You can say that we two have seen them.” “And don't let them take her away,” Grant insisted. “I will be responsibie for the funeral arrangements.” “There’s just one thing,” Mr. Poyn- ter said, casting his professional eye once more around the room. “I have a perfectly definite idea of my own as to the type of person who was following this poor girl. Am I to go on?" ‘Absolutely,” Hodson replied. “You can treat it as a Government affair, Poynter, and take your orders from me. The young lady was suspected of having political secrets in her possession.” “I'll make a report in a few days Poynter promised. They descended to thelr taxi and drove away. Both men were silent. Grant was filled with a sense of hor- ror. The sordidness of the little scene, its atmosphere of tragedy, its cruelty, had brought the tears into his eyes. “If ever I get my fingers on the throat of that brute Itash,” he mut- tered, “I think that I shall kil him. What did you think of the matter, Hodson?" “I think that Poynter was entirely right,” was the confident reply. “And every moment I am coming round to your point of view. I am. beginning "to bellevi iracy really exists. “You're coming in?" Grant inquired, as the taxi drove up to the Great Central Hotel. Hodson shook his head. “You'll see nothing of me for twenty-four hours or so,” he an- nounced. “I am going to work in directions you can't approach. You and Stoneham go on with your propaganda, even though the thing looks hopeless. Let your friends think that's all you've got to depend upon. Don't go away from your rooms for more than an hour or two without leaving word where you're to be found. There may be some big things doing when I get started.” Grant made his way through the crowded vestibules of the hotel and down the main lobby. On one side was the supper and dancing room, and, as he passed the entrance he came face to face with Itash, who had apparently just arrived. A few yards away Yvonne was handing her cloak to the attendant. Grant hesitated for | moment and then came to a stand- | still, affecting not to notice Itash’s outstretched hand. and the intruders scrutinized. On the | hind him. There are marks upon the “I have a plece of information that this cone| Count Itash,” he eaid. “You are very kind to trouble, was the studiously courteous reply. I have just come from a very sorry apartment in a squalid part of the elty,” Grant went on. “I was summoned there to {dentify the dead body of Mademojselle Cleo. If Itash feit anything, he effectu- ally concealed 1t. He passed his fingers over his sleek k_ hair and bowed slightly. A gesturc of his hand kept Yvonne from advancing. “This is very terrible news,” he . “I had noticed that the young lady seemed to be In a very depressed state. It is to be feared, perhage, that she took her own life?” “Nothing of the sort,” Grant an- swered bluntly. “She was mur- dered.” Then, for the first time, Itash showed signs of feeling. His eyes glittered, his lips seemed to grow | tight against his teeth. “That is very terrible,” he con- fessed. “In Japan we do not think so much of sulcide. Ona lenves life when one is tired. But a murder is a terrible thing. Who, in this coun try, would dream of murdering poor Clep? She had no money, but little Jewelry.” he might have had something more valuable than efther,” Grant observed. Itash shook his head “Qh, no,” he murmured. “I know what you mean, but those were farcies of hers. If she has ever imagined that she heard anything from my lips of import she has been mistaken. My country has no secrets, neither have I. I grieve for your sad v8, Mr. Slattery. I thank you' ou are dancing?”’ Grant inquired “I am dancing,” Itash wcknowl edged, offering his arms to Yvonne. “This is the last night in New York of my friend, Mademolselle Yvonne. She is summoned back to Paris and sails tomorrow." Grant remained perfectly immov- able, regardiess alike of Yvonne's proffered greeting and Itash's low bow. They passed together into the ballroom. Grant watched them with a strange inexplicable disgust, a dis- gust which seemed to be born of his passionate but silent anger. In his mind he saw Cleo followed home from the police court to her dreary apart- ment, saw her walk into the little chamber of death, into the tolls pré pared for her. Bhe was, very young, and she loved still lying in that little chs a sheet over her face—and Itash danced. “I think, Grant said to himseif, as he turned away, “that I shall cer- tainly kiil Itash."
