Cornets, has been observing ants In Algeria and in a recent issue of La Nature tells the results of his observations. The ant, he says. In Its outward journey, proceeds throughout in the direction initially chosen; on its return the insect places its body at the same angle, and walks lir the opposite direction. Tito body of the ant.Vonld therefore act as a kind of compass needle. If an ant Is caught at the nest and transported to a point some yards distant; the insect Is quite incapable of finding its way back. It rung around on the ground until It accidentally comes across the entrance to the burrow. The case is quite tliCereul if an ant i allowed to find Its way to a distance unmolested.

The return Is effected directly, rapidly and without hesitation, even if the ground covered has been swept in order to change its relief. The return is obviously determined completely by the outward trip, aqtl an apt which lias left its nest on a voyage of exploration finds its way back just because it has made the outward jour ney.

Her money went, but she continued to play desperately. Finally some old family jewels were pawned without her father's knowledge, and ultimately they were lost. One day she awoke to the fact that she owed some uiue or ten thousaud dollars in bridge debts. They were pressing and there was no way to meet them. This meant exposure and utter ruin, and women do strange tilings, Mr. Grimm, to postpone such an epding to social aspirations. I know this much is true, for she related It all to me herself. "At last, in some way a misplaced letter, perhaps, or a word overheard she learned that fifty thousand dollars would be in the legation bank overnight, and evidently she learned the precise night." She paused a moment. "Here is the address of a man in Baltimore, Thomas Q.

He stepped in and they swung out into Pennsylvania Avenue, noiselessly over the asphalt. Should the gold be placed in your the hands now. within the hour, queried solicitously, would it be necessary for you to know who was the the thief? "It would. Mr. Grimm responded without hesitation. "Even If it destroyed a reputation? she pleaded. The Secret Service rarely destroys a reputation. Miss Thorne, although It holds itself in readiness to do so. I dare say In this case there would be no arrest or prosecution, because of of reasons which appear to be good. "There wouldnt? and there was a note of eagerness in her voice. The Identity of the guilty person would never appear?" It would become a matter of record In our office, but beyond that I think at least in this one instance. not Miss Thorne sat silent for a block or more. "Youll admit, Mr. Grimm, that you have forced me Into a most remarkable position. You seemed convinced of my guilt, and, if youll pardon me, without reason; then you made it compulsory upon me to establish my Innocence. The only way for me to do that was to find the guilty one. I have done It, and I'm sorry, because it's a little tragedy. Mr. Grimm waited.

I : There Are Only Two Entrancee to the Embassy. Now, Monsieur, have Known him for many years, and have been secretary of the embassy under him In Germany and I have Japan and In this country. never known him to vary this general order of work unless because of illness, or necessary absence. Well, Monsieur, last Tuesday this is Friday the ambassador was at his desk as usual. He dictated a dozen or more letters, and had begun anoth--er-- a private letter to his sister in Baris. He was well along In this letter when, without any apparent reason. he rose frsyn his desk and left the room, closing- the door behind him. His stenographer's impression was that some detail .J, fre occurred to him, and he bad gone Into' the general office to attend to it. I may say. Monsieur, that this Impression seemed strengthened by the fact that he left a fresh cigarette burning in his ash tray, and his pen was behind his ear. It was all as if be had merely stepped out, intending to return immediately the sort of thing, Monsieur, that any man might have done. It so happened that when he went out be left a sentence of his letter Incomplete. I tell you this to show that the Impulse to go must have been a sudden one, yet there was nothing in his manner, so his stenographer says, to indicate excitement, or any other than his usual frame of mind. It was about five minutes of twelve o'clock high noon when he went out. When he didnt return Immediately the stenographer began transcribing the letters. At one oclock Monsieur Boissegur still had not returned and his stenographer went to luncheon. As he talked, some inbred excitement seemed to be growing upon him, due, perhaps, to his recital of facts, and he paused at last to regain control of himself. Incidentally he wondered If Mr. Grimm was taking the slightest interest in what he was saying. Certainly there was nothing In hia Impassive face to indicate it "Understand, Monsieur," the secretary continued after a moment, that I knew nothing whatever of all this until late that afternoon that is, Tuesday afternoon about five oclock. I was engaged all day upon some important work In my office, and bad had no occasion to see Monsieur Boissegur since a word or so when he came in at ten o'clock. My attention was called to the affair finally by his stenographer, Monsieur NettervUle. who came to me for instructions. He had finished the letters sad the ambassador had not returned to sign them. At this point I began an Investigation. Monsieur, and the further I went the more uneasy I grew. Now, Monsieur, there are only two entrances to the embassy the front door, where a servant is in constant attendance from nine In the morning until ten at night, end the rear door, which can only be reached through the kitchen. Neither of the two men who had been stationed at the front door had seen the ambassador since breakfast, therefore he could not have It gone out that way. Comprenez? seemed ridiculous. Monsieur, but then I went to the kitchen. The chef had been there all day, and he had not -' seen the ambassador at ail. 1 inquired further.
