The story thus far: Mr. Burke of the secret service and First Deputy Commissioner 0'Connor go to Kennedy for hielp on a counterfeiting case.

We had seen not a sign of life in the house, yet he observed all the caution he would have if it had been guarded. Quickly we advanced over the open space to the house, approaching in the shadow as much as possible, on the side far- thest from the river.

It was no time to ask questions and I did not. Kenned rapidly stowed away the things in his pockets. One bottle he opened and held it to his nose. I could dis- tinguish immediately the volatile smell of et He closed i} quick!y, and it, too, went into his pocket with the remark, “Somebody must have known how to administer an| anesthetic—probably the Wollstone woman. 3 A suppressed exclamation from Ken. nedy caused me to look. The drawer had a false back. Safely tucked| away in it reposed a tin box, one of those so-called strong boxes, which are so handy in that they save @ burglar much time and trouble in hunting all over for the valuables he has come after. Kennedy drew 1t forth and laid it on the desk. It was locked. Even that did not seem to satisfy Kennedy. who continued to scrutinize the walls and corners of the room as if looking for a safe or something of that sort. “Let's look in the room across the hall." he whispered. Suddenly a piercing scream of a woman _rang out upstairs. “Help! Help! There's some one in the house! Billy, help! 1 félt an arm grasp me tightly, and ~gor a moment a chill ran over me at Yeing caught in the nefarious work of breaking and entering a dwelling house at night. But it was only XKennedy, who had already tucked the precious little tin box under his arm. With a leap he dragged me to the open window. cleared it, vaulted over the porch, and we were running for the clump of woods that adjoined the estate on one side. Lights flashed in all the windows of the house at once, There must have been some sort of electric-light system that could be lighted instantly as a “burglar ex- peller.” Anyhow, we had made good our escape. As we lost ourselves In the woods 1 gave a last glance back and saw a lantern carried from the house to the garage. As the door was unlocked 1 could see in the moonlight a huze dog leap out and lick the hands and face of a man. Quickly we now crashed through the frozen underbrush. - Evidentiy Kennedy was making for the station by a direct route across country in stead of the circultous way by the road and towa. Behind us we could hear a deep baying. “By the Lord, Walter.” cried Ken- nedy., for once in his life thoroughly alarmed, “it's a bloodhound, and our trail is fres) 3 Closer it came. Press forward as we might we could never expect to beat that dog. “Oh, for a stream,” groaned Ken- redy, “but they are all frozen, even the river.” s He stopped short, fumbled in his pocket and drew out the bottle of ether. “Raise your foot, Walter, dered. 1 did so and he ®meared first mine and then his with the ether. Then we doubled on our trail once or twice and ran again. “The dog will never be able to pick up the ether as our trail” panted Kennedy: “that is, if he is any good and trained not to go off on wild- goose chas On we hurried from the woods to the mow dark and silent town. It was, indeed, fortunate that the dog had been thrown off our scent. for the station was closed; and, indeed, 1f it had been open I am sure the sta- tion agent would haye felt more like Jocking the door against two such tramps as we were, carrylng a tin box and pursued by a dog, than open- ing it for-us. The best we could do was to huddle into a corner until we succeeded in jumping a milk train that luckily slowed down as it passed Riverwood station. | Neither of us could wait to open the tin box In our apartment, and in- stead of going uptown Kennedy de- cided it would be best to go to a hotel near the station.

As he moved his fingers restlessly in the pockets of his coat he absently pullad out the little pieces of sponge d the ether bottle. He regarded them without much interest. “I know what they were for,” he satd, diving back into his pocket for the other thing: bringing out the sharp little knives in their case. I said nothing, for Kennedy was in a deep study. At last he put the things back into his pocket. As he did so his hand encountered something which he drew forth with a puzzled air. It was the picce of paraffin, Now, what do You suppese that s for?" he asked, half to himself. “I had forgotten that. What was the use of a .piece of flin? Phew smell the antiseptic worked into it. I don't know." I replied, rather “If you would tell me what her things were for 1 might en- lighten you. but—- Ly George. Walter, what a chump 1 am?™ eried. Kennedy, leaping to Bis feet, all energy again. “Why did 1 forget that lump of paraffin? Why, of course, 1 think T can guess what they have been' doing—of course.

We dont have to know the safe de- posit vault after all. It would be too late, anyhow. Qulick, let us look up the train to Lexington. As we hurried over to the information booth I gasped, in a whirl: “Now, look here, Kennedy, what's all this light- ning calculation?

This wa he replied. not stopping an “None. The paraffin sug- gested -to me the possible way in vhich our man managed to elude us under our very eves. That set my mind at work again. Like a flash it occurred to meé: Where would they be most likely to g0 next to work off some of the bills? The banks are on, the jewelry houses are on. the gam- bling joints are on. Why, to the race tracks, of course. That's it. Counterfeiters all use the book- makers; only since racing h: been killed in New York they have had to resort to other means here. If New York has suddenly become too hot, ‘what more natural than to leave it? Here, let me see—there's a train that gets there early tomorrow, the best train, too. Say. is No. 144 made up yet?” {|‘e‘ |nmx|‘:ed at the desk. . 144 will be ready in fiftee: - utes. Track 8. 2 b Kennedy thanked the man, turned abruptly and started for the. still closed gate at track $. “Be pardon —why. hulloa — it's he exclaimed s we ran plump into a man staring vacantly about. It was not ‘the gentleman farmer of the night before, nor yet the supposed college graduate. This man was & western rancher; his broad-brimmed hat, long mustache, frock coat and flowing tie proclaimed it. Yet there was something indefinably familiar about him, too. It was Burke In another disguise. Kennedy.” “Pretty good work, nodded Burke, shifting’ his ‘tobacco from one side of his jaws to the other. “Now. tell me how your man escaped you this morning when you can recognize me instantly in this rig.’ “You haven't altered your features, explained Kennedy simply. “Our pale-faced, snub-nosed, pecuiiar-eared friend has. ~What do you think of the possibility of his going to the Lexington track, now that he finds it too dangerous to remain in New York.” Burke looked at Kennedy rather sharply. “Say, do you add telepathy t6_your other accomplishments?” ‘No,” laughed Craig. “but I'm glad to see that two of us working inde- pendently have arrived at the same conclusion. Come, let us saunter totrack 8. Iguess the train is made up.” (Comcluded in tomorrow's Star.) - Leading Lady-Extraordinary. The last time I talked with Wini- fred Westover she wasn't Mrs. Wil- liam S. Hart, as she s now, and she didn't even tell me she was-going to be—maybe she didn't know it her- self—and maybe she did. Winifred is an exceptionally sensi- ble girl. She doesn't wear rose-col- ored spectacles. She says she has seen enough to know about what to expect from life and love. She has no illusions, she told me, and so she {won’t be the victim of deiusions. And when I asked her how she “got s sensible” at such an early age, said, “I owe it to my good mother! Anyway, that day I talked with Winifred. Westover-soon-to-be-Hart we talked mostly about foreign film: particularly Swedish one: becaus: Winifred had been to_ Sweden and made pictures there. We discussed Pola Negri and Lubltsch and all the little strangers who have been com- ing to our shores—and I asked Wini- fred what she thought of Swedish pictures. Naturally, one would ex- pect some national prejudice since Winifred's forebears were Norse- men and Winifred herself a pure Norse type. but the present ls more potent than the past. and Winifred had had a dreadful time in Sweden She wasn't able to speak more than six words of Swedish and her di- rector couldn’t speak more than the same of English. The result was something of a struggle. “The Swedish pictures won't have much chance over here,” opined Wini- fred, “and that's because of thelir stories. Their stories would bore us to death over here—simply to death. They have no appeal, no interes In the first place, they aren’t storle as we know.them. They deal with topics—such topics as the hatred be- tween father and daughter, and anclent feuds, and gloomy, morbid things like that. There is no action, no love interest and no relieving humor. T believe that Americans like a dash of humor with their sobs. ITTLE CTORIES l}&BL%Tn??E Peter’s Bitter Disappoint- ~ ment. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Re not too sure lest at the last 3 ppolut rips you 2 Grim’ disappolutment grips you fast, For the first time since he had be- come entangled in the net which cov- ered Farmer Brown's strawberry bed Peter Rabbit was almost happy. To be sure he was a prisoner in a pen in Farmer Brown's henyard. But even that was better than lying helpless, {wound up in a net. Besides, Peter didn't intend to remain a prisoner {long. He was sure that he could dig down under that wire pen and then under the fence of the henyard, and once more be free. So Peter made the dirt fly in one corner of that pen. Down he went for about a foot and a half. Then his busy little paws felt something that they could not dig through. It was wire! Yes, sir, it was more of that wire netting out of which the sides and top of the pen were madel At first Peter couldn’t belleve I But presently he had to belleve it. He simply couldn’t dig any deeper. Such a disappointed Rabbit! If Peter were given to crying he would have cried then. You see he had been » sure that he could get out that way that it hadn't entered his head that anything could stop him. Yes, indeed, it was a bitter disappoint- ment. But Peter didn’t give up. He dug a hole in another corner of the pen. The result was the same. Agaln he found that provoking wire. In turn he tried each of the other corners. Each time he was disappointed. Finally he dug a hole right in the imiddle of the pen. But he fared no better than before. Then he gave up. He was tired. His feet were sore. | He was the most disappointed Rabbit in all the Great World. So he crept into the box in the corner, where he HE SIMPLY COULDN'T DIG ANY DEEPER. was quite out of sight and nobody could see. How very, very miserable he felt! Peter couldn’t understand this thing at all. Roots or stones in the way down underground he would have understood. He would have known what to do. He would have gnawed off roots and he would have dug around stones. But this thing that stopped him he could neither g‘n{w nor dig around. How it came to be underground he couldn’t under- stand. Later in the day Farmer Brown' Boy came for a look at Peter to see how he was getting along. At once he saw the holes Peter had dug. He chutkled. “I thought as much,” said he. “I knew just what you would do as soon as you were left alone. That is why 1 made this pen with & wire bottom and then filled it in part way with earth. I can’t afford to have such a mischievous scamp as you running about where you can fit into my gardefi. You have done mis- chief enough there already. You will have to etay here until things in that garden have grown. I don't want to keep you a prisoner, but I'll have to. Yes, sir, T'll have t So Farmer Brown's Boy put in some nice things for Peter to eat and once more left him. Peter didn't come out_until after k. He didn’t like to be stared at by those hens in the henyard. Then, too, he feit 50 ly that he wanted to keep out of sight. He had the feeling that somehow things might be different after dark. But they were not. He went all around that pen inch by inch, But everywhere he was met by.that hat: ful wire. He was a prisoner, with no chance of escaping.

Some American pro- ducing company ought to go over there to make some pictures—with American stories. “They know little or nothing about lighting, and they will not take kind- ly to ‘foreign interference’ by way of suggestion. I ventured several and they were quite indignant! She sighed that it had felt good to get back to work with Eugene O'Brien and Conway Tearle. ¥rom latest ports it is seeming even ‘gooder” to Winifred to be leading lady-extraordinary to William S. Hart and cast. (Copyright, 1922.) Home and You Your BY HELEN KENDALL In the Refrigerator. The homemaker knelt in front of her fce chest on a certain Saturday morning and surveyed its heterogeneous contents. “Three half-used pats of butter on separate plate she mumured; “one dish of cold string beans; three clammy buttered beets; two slabs of cheese, partly grated off; some baked beans that have molded overnight, the re- mains of a leg of lamb in its congepled gravy My, what an unappetizing sight.’ She was very new to the housekeep- ing game, and she had not yet learned that one of the first laws of culinary cleanliness and satisfaction is that the ! refrigerator shall be as sanitary as the baby’s bottle and as often cleansed and polished. It is a great temptation, when the meal is finished aud one is in a hurry to skip away to town or to bridge or to drive, to tuck left-overs away in the ice-box on the plates they were served in, knowing that they will keep, and will be safe from insects. But when left there for more than a day, they begin to speil and to become ob- jects of unfastidiousness, to say the least. A well ordered, daintily arranged re- frigerator is a joy to the housewife every time she opens the door. She ought to avold putting into it small odds and ends on soiled plates. In one kitchen pantry I know of there is a set of plain, inexpensive dishes which are used almost solely for the ice box, 8o that the fine table china need not be 8o used. The roast should | be removed from the platter and placed on a smaller clean white plate. Left-over vegetables which can be used next day for a salad or a stew should be put in a clean bowl and covered over. Broken balls of butter should be scraped up and put in a clean glass jar to be used as cooking butter. If every article in the chest Is put into an immaculate container it ,will be much more suggestive of befng turned into an Inviting dish of some {sort.
