l>¢rs at the otiice I wanted to take
home. But I’ll miss the boat if I go
back for it. Guess I’ll drop myself
a postal card.”

the old schemes are of no avail. l
found the string on the finger wouldn’t
W0l'k. for I’d forget what I intended
to recollect. So I hit on the idea of

“Just before I left the oiiice I ad= 
dressed one to myself at the house,
writing on lt ‘Umbrella.’ That card
will be delivered to me at the break-
fast table, a reminder that I should
take the old umbrella over to town and
get it tixed. Last night at home I
wrote on a card ‘Ch1cken,’ etc. That
came to my otlice early in the day,
and if it hadn’t we would have been
shy of stuff for dinner tonight.
“It’s a simple system, costing only a
cent for each service, and for this
small outlay I have my lagging mem-
ory prodded by a special 'government
official under bonds to perfohn his
duty. “
“Sometimes I think this new scheme
of mine saved my life once. It was
'_ not very long ago. I had s bsd cold. ;`
My doctor gave me some medicine
which he said I must take every two
hours. It was absolutely impossible
for me to remember to do so, so I took
a pack of postal cards and wrote on
each, ‘Take your medicine and mail
yourself a card.’ I started the bali

and taking the first dose. The deliver
ies at my office are exactly two hours
apart. Whenever a carrier appeared
he handed me the reminder, and I
swallowed my medicine and handed
him a fresh card. Result, prompt

By this time we were aboard the fer- ‘
ryboat and on our way down the bay.
“It certainl is 'in admirable idea,”

\ I said. "But, by the w:i;f, what do you
`intend to do with those postal cards
` you showed me?"
. l
“No,” replied the new detective. “I
thought at first that I had, but it
wasn’t one at all.”
“What was it?"
“A mask that I picked up at the
scene of the crime. But while I was
examining it a tough looking fellow in p
the crowd said it was his and took it _
away from me."

"God lsve the King."
The identity of the 'author of the
melody known in England ss "God
Save the King” and in the United
States as "America" is a matter of
controversy, but t-here is authentic
proof of the fact that the English
national anthem was sung in the
middle of the Eighteenth Century to
the Same air as now. About 1766
this melody became known on 
European Continent and was adopt-
ed as the national air of Prussia,
Saxony and some other North Ger-
man States. It is possible, therefore,
that the air reached us from Ger-
many, but it had been used by‘ the
English long before the beginning of
