-~ along with a lot of fool speculations. FEATURE PAGE Peter Just Makes It. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Wio doex bis best will do his all And be coutent whate'er befall, —Peter Rabbit. Reddy Fox was hunting in the swamp down br the Big River. Once in 80 often Reddy visited that swamp. Occasionally he got a good meal down | there. He had come down early this | morning because he happened to be near there and he thought he might as well see what is to be seen. Reddy is one of those who believe in being thorough. He has learned that often the best things are found where least expected. He wouldn't be disappoint- ed if he found nothing, and he would have the satisfaction of knowing that he_hadn’t missed something. So he trotted along through the Ewamp with eves and ears and nose all at work. He examined every old stump and poked his npse into every clump of ferns along he way as if Yery hungry. which he wasn't at all, for” these warm drvs there were plenty of grasshoppers and he. could get a stomach full any time. Sunddenly. across a little open space ahead of him a brown form darted. lipperty-lipperty-lip. Reddy saw it instanily. To say that he was sur- prised would be putting it mildly. Peter Rabbit as I live!” exelrimed Reddy. “Now what is that s inz 'way down here But he didn't allow hi caus him to waste any time. leap be was after Peter an couldn’t help grinning as he ran. “This is the time T will catch him." thought Reddy. “There are no bramble tan- gles in here for Peter to creep into and 1 don’t know of a single hole that I can’t diz him out of. and I know every hole in this swamp. You mada a mistake. Peter, when you came down here. You certainly did. T've eaten asshoppers for a week and a rabbit certainly will taste good.” Reddy smacked his lips as he'ran. Now, Peter can run very fast for a surpr short distance, but Reddy can run very fast for a long distance. Peter knew that for a while he could dods Reddy in and around those clumps of | big ferns, but he also knew that soon- ! er or later Reddy would catch him at that game. There was just one place of safety for him, an old hollow log on the farther side of the swamp, and to get there he could waste no time and strength dodging. It must be a |straight-away race, and he would need all his speed and strength to gét there before Reddy could catch him. So, Peter ran straight for that old log and he ran just as fast as he could make his legs go. After a few min- utes Reddy was puzzled. “He runs as |if he were going straight for some ticular place.” muttered Reddy, who had expected Peter to twist and dodge In his usual manner. ‘“There wasn't any hole in this direction. I wonder if he thinks he can outrun me. I'll show him.” Reddy ran a little faster and soon saw that he was gaining on Peter. Peter, looking over his shoulder, saw it too, and did his best to make his leaps a little longer. But he couldn’ He was running as fast as he could and it was clear to him that Reddy was coming much faster. Would he | be able to resch that old leg in time? Would he? Somehow it seemed far- ther. much farther than he had thought when he started. His legs were beginning to ache. breath was getting short. For just a wee cond he wished he had left the ung_Heron caught in a trap back { there by the Laughing Brook to h |fate. You know it was to save that pmmg Heron that Peter was leadin; Reddy Fox away. Then he was ashamed of himself and put that { thought out of his head. Ah! There was that old log just ahead! Peter glanced back. It seemed as if he looked right into the mouth of Reddy Fox. It frightened him so that he made two or three extra long jumps and then—well, then, he just made it. He was safe, but it was one of the narrowest escapes in all his life. (Copyright. 1921, by T. W.

He strode off toward the modest bachelor quarters which he occupied over the antique shop of Monsleur Girard, but upon reaching his own cerner he halted abruptly. A news- paper was spread on the step leading up to the apartment entrance .and upon it an exceedingly long-legged young man_ was seated twirling his hat on the head of the cane between Lis_hunched-up Knee His red head glowed brazenly in the sun and he looked up with a boy- ish grin as McCarty advanced re- luctantly. x “Hello there, Mac! 1 thought you'd show up fo¥ a shave and a clean col- lar now that you're moving in soclety.

You'd better be seeing the inspector—" “Not a_chance’in the world and you know i Jimmie laughed. “Come now. Mac, be a sport!

Of course, you're rettired from the force, you've nothing to do with the stigation and you're only a pri- - citizen drawn by vour own cu oslty into the case”" “You've got me right. my lad.” MecCarty threw the butt of his cigar out into the middle of the street and turned to insert his latchkey into the -adeor. Well, then. you old fraud!" Jimmie made his point gleefully. “There's no reason why you can't give me Your private opinion. Do you think that young crook shot Creveling?" McCarty sighed and then his eyes inkled with sudden inspiration. “There's no getting away from you Jimmie!” Come on up if vou wal to: it's no zood denying that I'm i terested in the case. for all I'm a back rumber. and curiosity that you were talking about is still working. You started in as a society reporter, didn’t you?’ “Uh-huh.” Jimmie admitted with a grimace as they mounted the stairs. “T'd rather do the sob sister stuff any day.

What little nerve he had is_gone and he’s bleating down at headquarters now that it was the first job he ever tackled and he only did if to prove to the rest of the gang | that he was as good a y of them. He declares he found Creveling dead on-the floor"and that vou can swear to_it. How about it, Mac?” “Well, there was no silencer on the gun we saw lying beside the body and the one I found on the crook wh I frisked him was loaded to the full,” each word. “l saw the fellow just ahead of me on the avenue skulkingi to the house and getting through the MeceCarty replied slowly, weighing window and I waited outside for him. but I didn’t hear any shot. Come till 1 shave, I've little time to spare, for I've got to catch the 11:30 train to Homevale, to evict one of my ten- ants.” Jimmie grinned again at the pal pable mendacity, but followed and perched himself on the foot of the bed, where he could view the bath- room through the opened door. “You're a busy little landlord, aren’t you?” he jeered good-naturedly. “Did You see anything while you waited under the window?" *“Nothing but the legs of my young friend Bodansky coming out faster than ever he went in. and I didn't have long to wait, either; not more than three minutes.” McCarty paused to draw the rasor along the lines of square jaw and then turned. « ‘“That obituary you've got set up will be good reading if it goes back to the days when Creveling was known as ‘Million-a-month’ along Broadway.” “I was a cub then, but I remember him and the crowd he trailed with,” Jimmie remarked. “Didn’t see much of him at society crushes until hi engagement to Miss Alaxander wal rumored.” “She's a fine-looking woman.” Mec- Carty turned again to his task. “Are they a grand family, the Alexanders?" “Good blood in them: old stock, but it's run to seed.

McBride & Co. ried his niece and put him on his feet again. “What do you Know about the set they've been” going with?" McCarty spoke with studied _carelessne: “The Waverlys and Fords and a man named Nicholas Cutter and this Mrs. Baillle Kip, of East 63d _street? I can't recail all the names I hear mentioned in connection with them. “You heard an earful,” Jimmie as- sured him. “They're a pretty swift bunch, but all well connected and there's never been any actual scandal about any of them. The Dougla: Waverlys are all right financially, though he's a rotter and, like Crevel- ing, his wife comes of a far better | family than he. If by the Fords you mean” Lonsdale Ford and his wife, they’re climbers; never heard of un- til a few years ago, when he bought ia seat on the exchange. It is a mys tery how they managed to get Into that set, especially on a footing with Nicholas Cutter. for he's a dyed-in- the-wool aristocrat.” ‘What does he do for a living?' McCarty asked. Nothing, though he is an honorary director of half a dozen banking in- stitutions. His father left him mil- lions, but he doesn't seem to care much for society beyond a small cir- cle of intimate friends, and he never entertains on a large scale. though he could have the smartest people in ! town about him if he liked.” Jimmie stood up and thrust his hands in his pockets. “See here, Mac, I'm no walk- ing Blue Book! You've seen Mrs. Creveling: what did she say? How did she act? Had she been notified of her husband’s death before she ar- rived “Wait a bit,” McCarty admonished. “You haven't told me about this Mrs. Kip yet. Who is she?" Jimmie shrugged. “Nobody knows. Widow of a we: ern mining man, I've heard. She blew Into town about six or seven years ago, rented a big house and went In for charity; the old short cut to social position, you know. It did not work in her case, and after vainly knoaking at the portals for two or three seasons she dropped out of sight only to reappear last autumn in the Crevelings'. set, but_the Lord knows how she got there. Now come across, Mac: give me the straight dope. You talked with old Alexander, o at least you must have been there when In- spector Druet questioned him, for the report says that he .was the first of the family to appear on the scene after the discovery of the body. McCarty complied, and with cer- tain mental reservations gave his young friend a sketchy account of what had taken place, omitting all | reference to the mysterious telephone messages which had summoned George Alexander and Mrs. Creveling, as well as his own discoveries and conclu- sions. It satisfled Jimmie Ballard, however, and he crowed exultantly. “Oh, boy! That'll be some scoop if 1 _get down to the shop in time! Thanks, Mac. I'll do as much for you some day.” At the door McCarty halted him. “One second, Jimmie. Every gang has a leader, and I misdoubt but it's the same in society as down on the docks. Who was the head of the Creveling crowd? Himself?” Jimmie Ballard shook his head. “No. Usyally a woman is the cen- ter of any social clique and Mrs. Cre- :veling has been mentioned more often and more prominently than any of her immedijate friends, but that is be- cause of the position her family have held for so long. I think the real leader of their crowd is Nicholas | Cutter.” CHAPTER VIII From the Long Ago. McCarty completed his cleaning-up process in rather an elaborate man- iner after the departure of Jimmie !Ballard. Arraying himself in a new suit which had hung In his closet for more than two months awalting an auspicious occasion for its display, he spent valuable and anxious moments over the selection of a necktie, which, while dénoting prosperity by its evi- dent costliness, | Should at the same time convey a suggestion of conser- vative dignity. That important de- cision made, he next debated with himself over the rival merits of a silk hat which he reserved, as a rule, for funerals, and a rakish fedora, but finally compromised on his habitual derby. Tenderly polishing the gold-headed cane that the Amalgamated Brewers’ Association had presented to his late uncle, he caught up & pair of shiny black kid gloves in which he had officiated as pallbearer for that d funct gentleman, and, satisfied that his sartorial equipment left nothing to be desired, he left his rooms and started across the park. For_the moment the investigation into Eugene Creveling’s death and i!l attendant mystery had faded from mind.

The question is whether the fuchsia shades will last—whether they are sig- nificant of autumn and winter frocks and hats—or whether this fad in color. burning so ardently from the start, will burn itself out, leaving no radiance on the fashions to come. If you did not have a definite idea of a fuchsia before, you have had to look them up In a florist shop in order to understand the recent clothes talk. The brilliant red fuchsia with its pendant of purple red is to the clothes of this sum- mer what nasturtiums—eve followed the French fad and called them capucines— ‘were to fashions of last summer and the summer before. Violet, and orchid also, are spoken of in reports of new clothes. But they are all tendencies in the same direction. For two seasons we have used red, mingled with yellows—hence our hennas, rouilles, our flames and our capucines. our rusts. Now we use red, but we use it unadulterated and call it "pm.lr-box red”; or we add blue, heénce 't our range of violet and fuchsia | There shades.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Rusty Notions. You maintain that no harm comes from a wound made by a rusty nail, In so far as the rust is concerned, but that any poisonous effect is to be ascribed to germs that happen to be on the nail, be it rusty or new. I suppose, professors and doctors can e these germs in the air which are in- isible to ordinary mortal eyes. (Ealtimore.) Answer.—You nearly understand. 1 do not insist that the germs respon- sible for blood poisoning after a wound by a nail, bright or rusty, are necessarily present on the nail; they may be present in the dirt or on the skin about the wounded surface, and the nail may simply push them into the wound. The germs are just as visible to ordinary eyes as to the eyes of professors or doctors—through a microscope. There are none so blind in .this matter as those wha never have had the opportunity of looking through a microscope at disease germs, More Adhesions. I had an operation for appendicitis five years ago and every year I have peritonitis. My physicians claim I have adhesions, which cause constant pain in my left side.

If you have peritonitis every year there must be a source of in- fection which should be eradicated. As a rule adhesions cause no trouble. and It is more likely that such pain as you describe is due to_inflam- mation than to adhesions. Adhesions are not nearly 8o bad as they are mllnled. HOME ECONOMICS BY MRS. ELIZABETH KE! What Is Lace? is mo certain evidence to prove the existence of lace before the Ancient textile in the form of Lace is not upon a given back- it is rather a fabric with ground, both ornament and ground being made by the lace- maker.

Our evidence of this is to be found chiefly in French and Flemish museum collections of late fifteenth and early sixteenth century embroid- ered linens. Presently, instead of laboriously drawing the threads from linen, the workers made open reticulated | grounds, called quintains, more and jmore open until they came to be call- ed “lacis,” really square nets, upon which embroidery was done by darn- ing or running threads into a certain number of meshes according to a pattern. Next came the indented bor- ders or edgings for these squares, or long bands made by sewing the squares together, and we have a style of needlework which is not, like em- broidery, wrought wupon a stiff foundation, but is actually itself an ornamental fabric, a true lace. Books of patterns for these insertions and borders for the ruffs and cuffs of the day were published in Italy as early as 1530. (Copyright, 1921.) R T L L The Old Gardener Says: Make sure that no weeds go to seed along the fence rows or In uncultivated parts of your garden plot. If you would be careful about this every season, your garden problems would be minimized. This is a particu- larly good time to kill the weeds because they have less stamina than in the early sum- mer. Of course decayed weed growth provides humus like any other vegetation. Some peo- ple let the weeds grow free- ly_where the early crops came oft, and then dig them under. It is not a bad practice if the last operation is performed be- fore the weeds make their seeds.
