But unfor!unutely Max s a bit timid. He dare not speak his love; he has triéd and succeeded only in making a gulping noise. So he takes when Anna is alone in the store Max hides outside and looks through the window, getting great eyefuls of her as she parades grandly back and forth behind the counter. He has always been confident that he would get his chance, And last night the chance came, and Max grabbed it. It happened that Mr. Kosoff went out to lunch, leaving his daughter in’the store and, unknown to the delicatessen keeper, Max standing outside mounting his sclitary vigil over the girl and the property that s her father's Docsn’t Like Man's Looks, Into the .store. walked a man and Max decided that this man's purpose | was evil. This man had two com- panions, but they did not go into the| store; they stayed near the door, and paid no attention to the little boy who watched them, The first man asked Anna where Westchester avenue was, and Anna, being a kindhearted and obliging child, hurried to the door with him to point it out. The man was dense, and it took some time, and while Anna pointed the second of the thrm, men walked into the store, went cas-’ ually behind the counter, opened the| cash register and took out $100 which he stuffed into his pockets. Then he went into the street, joined the other men, who thanked Anna for her in- formation and then a!l three walked toward Westchester avenue, All thlp was seen by Max, and Max recognizeéd ‘the " golden opportunity. Anna uvoxe to him and invited him to have a shunk of sausage, but Max * intimating: that weighty matters were pressing;. went sleuthing . down ‘the street behind the three men.! He had na @isguise, but he did the best he could ‘by turning Uup his coat collar and pulllng his cap down over, his eyes. Three Robbers Separate But a block from the store the three men separated, and for a lime Max did not know what to do. Then he picked out the smallest man of the lot and followed him. He stalked his quarry for two more . blocks, when he mét Patsolman Ar- thur Strauss. He whispered hoarsely that the man was a robber and that he, Max, was detecting him, and the strong arms of the law opened and gathered the man in. He said he was Nathan Goldstein of 231 Monroe street, the Bronx, and both Max and + Anna identified him as one of the | three men; So he was locked up, charged with grand larceny and then Max went ! back to the\delicatessen store, where he became rather voluble over a sau- sage sandwi¢h that Anna prepared and handed to: him with what seem- ed to Max a very charming air of ownership.

Roberts tried to give an alarm from the nearest box, but the system was out of order, He was considerably delayed in getting firemen by telephone, so the blaze iwas well under way when the fire fighters arrived. The church was a large wooden structure and the flames spread rapidly. For a time it appeared that many dwellings in the north end of the village would be burned, Clouds of sparks fell upon roofs in the vicinity and on many at con- siderable distance. Volunteers did good work in quenching roof blazes. Firemen made a desperate effort lo save the convent, a two-story frame building, but the water pres- sure was inadequate to give them effective streams from all lines of hose. Two small sheds, at some distance from the church but part of the church property, were also destroyed. Furniture was moved from some of the houses near the church property, but these was not seriously endan- gered, 0. a to 6 of or A BOYS UNHURT AFTER CAR TURNS TURTLE 19 Ycar Old Autoist Hit Tree When Car's Mechanism Goes to Wrong.

Treaty Still in Full. “In August last a meeting of great promise and importance was held by the presidents of Nicaragua, Salva- dor, and Honduras on board the U. S. 8. Tacoma in order to concert meas- ures looking to the establishment of more peaceful relations in Central America. The government of the United States was deeply gratified at the action of those countries in ac- knowledging the validity of the gen- eral treaty of peace and friendship signed at Washington on December 20, 1907, and in the subsequent ac- tion of the governments of Costa Rica and Guatemala in definitely declaring that' this treaty, so far as they are concerned, is still in force. “Blieving that a great advance had been made towards peace and stabil- ity and that the friendly relations and the prosperity of their people could still further be assured by a frank exchange of views and recommenda- tions, the government of the United States invited the government of the Central American republics to send their plenipotentiaries to Washington for this conference. .. . “It is most important that adequate provision now be made for appro- priate arbitral disposition of con- troversies and that suitable methods be devised for carrying out the funda- mental purpose of existing treaties in securing a basis for a lasting and just accord. “It is our earnest hope that this conference may register your high and effective resolve to put an end to strife which impoverishes and to bring to naught all attempts to foment mutual distrust; and thus that it may afford that sense of national security and repose and of true fellowship between peoples by which you may cach rea- lize to the fullest extent the blessings of your national heritage.” “MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY” Thomas W.
