The tubes were closed at one end. Bome of them were filled with cold water and others with water that had been boiled. In the course of several experiments forty-four of the tubes holding boiled water burst, while only four of the others broke. The explanation was found in the fact that while tap water freezes more easily than boiled water, it does not freeze so solidly or exert 60 great @ force in expanding. Unboiled w ter in freezing produces ice that Is filled with air bubbles and is slushy near the middle of the tube, The bubbles and slush tend to react against expansion, Popular Superstiti dressmaking circles it is conaid- I ered unlucky to use black pins for fitting.

(Contiaued.) UVALL rose early the fol- lowing morning and drove to the studio, but early as be was, Mr. Baker was there . before him. “Nothing new yet,” he eald, "My stenographer, Miss King, is here. Neither Misa Green nor Miss Ford has yet arrived, but it is still a little early. Miss King came before her usual time, as she had some reports to get out that she could not com- plete last night. We have at least fifteen minutes to wait.” Duvall told him to proceed with his work, and drawing @ newspaper from his pocket, made an effort to interest himself in it. In this, however, he was not very successful Suddenly the bell of the telephone on Mr, Baker’s desk rang sharply. He anewered it, then turned to Duvall “Miss Green, the telephone operator, 1s at her desk,” he said, “Would you like to take @ look at her?" “Yes.” The detective rose and fol- lowed Mr. Baker into the corridor. The switchboard of the building was located at the end of the ball, in a small, bere room. When they reached it, Mr, Baker spoke to a dark-haired, rather stout Woman who sa at the desk. “Miss Green,” he said, “if any calls come in for Mr. Duvall, he will be in my office.” ‘Then he went back along | the corridor. “he certainly isn't the woman we are after,” he remarked to Duvall, as s00n as they were out of earshot “No. It must be Miss Ford,” detective replied. “Suppose we go to the developing and finishing department,” Mr, Baker susgested. “It is time all our people were on hand. Mr. Emmett, who the in charge there, can tell us about Miss Ford.” They crossed to the other side of the building and entered a email office. A bald headed man sat behind 4 litter * Baker sald, “shake hands with Mr. Duvall. He ts looking for @ young woraan in the finishing department--Miss Marcia Ford, Has come in yet?" 0," replied the bald beaded man, She's been acting the past few days.” “How #07" asked Duvall quickly. “I can't say—exactly. I got the tm- Pression from her manner that sh Was nervous, excited, out of sorts. Merely an impression, but such things count." “Telephone me, Emmett," Mr. Baker @aid, “if she comes in during the next hour, Come along, Mr. Duvall, you can wait in my office.” They returned to the other alde of the immense bullding, and Duvall sat down to wait. He sat in Mr. Baker's office, reading the paper, waiting anx- fously for the hour the latter had specified to pass. After what seemed an interminable wait, Mr, Baker glanced at his watch, th rose. “It is ten o'clock, Mr. Duvall,” he announced. ‘Mise Ford has not come Mr. Emmett would have notified T do not see that there is any & further to be accomplished nk, As he spoke the telephone bell rang sharply, Mr. Baker picked up the re ceiver, listened intently for a few moments, then slammed the receiver back upon the hook “Hell!” he ejaculated softly “What in it? Duvall asked "Miss Ford, the film cutter, haw just at this moment reported for work!" CHAPTER XIV, VALL rose from Ma eaat and turned toward the door. ‘If Mise Ford has reported for work,” he said ter “T'd bet. take @ look at her.” the three men continued their way through the room. When they again reached the hall, Mr. Baker turned to Duvall, “Well?” he questioned, “It is not the woman,” the detective said Baker, puzzled and disappointed as well, led the way beck to his office. Duvall, however, when they reached it, did not enter. “I shall not remain any longer at present,” he aid. “I have an idea that T can accomplish more in town. have a plan that may result In something.” “What is it?” Mr. Baker asked “I prefer not to say yet. If any- thing develops I will let you know.

Duvall ft the room and, taking a taxt, drove down to see Grace. “Richard!” she exclaimed. “I'm so lad to see you. It has been ages. Vhat's the matter with you? You look dreadfully blue.” Duvall threw himself (nto @ chair, and relaxed “I'm a bit disgusted with myself,” he said. “What about? I may ask you now, may I not? Ls it about that wretched Morton case? I muat talk to you about that. May 1? You see, you rather got me into it last night, and I got myself into it, too, by coming up to your hotel to see you, and now you've got to tell me how things turned out after you left the theatre, or I sball not know just what to do.” “About what?” “I'll tell you that after I hear about last night.” Duvall laughed, although a trifle grimly “I'm not particularly proud of last night,” he said, and outlined to Grace the circumstances which led up to the woman's escape from the cab: “You say she was a email, slight woman with light hair?” “Yes, Why?” “Then I may know something about her.’ “What Grace explained how a women had tried to bribe the chauffeur in her employ: “Bhe gave him a name and address,” she concluded. “It 1s about that, that I wanted to see you.” “What was it? “*Alice Watson, General Delivery.’ He was to write her a letter.” Duvall sunk back in bis chair with a disappointed look. “An assumed name, of course,” he said. “I fear it won't be of much use to us." “But wh I was Going to write ‘this woman a letter, giving her the name of same hotel-any one would do, Then she would come there to find you; we could have the cabman, Leary, on watch to point her out, and In that way identify her and perhaps foliow her to her home Duvall shook his head Here Is ‘ADVENTURE + By Jack London the Best Story of the Master Story Teller Begin It on This Page June 4 pointed,” she said. “I really hoped (hat | had discovered something that would help you.” She took from the desk the piece of paper that contained Alice Watson's address and tearing into bits, dropped them into the waste bask Duvall observed her action. “What are you tearing up?” he asked. "Oh, nothing. Merely the bit of paper that contained the woman's as- sumed name and addrem. It is of no uee any longer.” She glanced at a scrap of the paper, about half an inch square, that rematned between her fingers, then started. “There must have been something on the other sige!” she exclatmed “There's part of a name here—printed or engraved. It looks like ‘Ford.’ * Duvall sprang from his chair and made a dive for the ecrap basket. “Ford!” he exclaimed, "That's queer! We must Get every scrap of that card." It took the two of them several minutes to gather from the basket the tiny pieces into which Grace had torn the bit of paper, Then they fitted them together, Duvall saw at once, ag g00n as he picked up the first scrap, that the address had been written on a card. When the several pleces had at last been assambled upon the top of the desk, it became clear that the Watson name and ad- dress had been hastily scrawled upon the torn half of a visiting card Blowly and carefully Duvall turned the bits over The words engraved upon the opposite side filled him with delight ‘There were first the letters “cia,” followed by the name “Ford Be- neath were two fi ‘ after tiem West Fifty-seventh Street Duvall gazed at the result in sur- prise, then taking from his pocket- book the torn half of the card he had found the night before in the oab, he laid it beside the fragments on the dosk. The two fitted exactly. The name and address were both plain. Evidently the woman who had Inter- viewed the cabman, Leary, and the woman who had escaped from the cab were one and the same. She had taken @ card from her purse, torn tt in. half, written the “Alice Watson” address that sho gave the cabman on one half and thrust the other back into her handbag. Later, when Du- vall had attempted to examine the contents of the bag, the bit of card had fallen to the floor, All that was clear, Grace, looking over her husband's @boulder, read tne name and address. “Miss Marcia Ford!" she exclamed “Why, Richard, there is the name and address of the woman you want.” “It may be her address,” her hus- band remarked gloomily, “but It car- tainly isn't her naga By Arnold Fi red erick, “put—why pot?" “Hecause fi saw Marola Ford this morning, and she isn't the woman!" | Grace looked at him in astonish- ment “Are you sure?” ehe cried. | ' “Perfectly, Marcia Ford is not the one we are after.” “Then how do you explain the woman baving @ card with thet name on it?" “1 don't explain tt, paused for a moment in thought ‘unloms this Ford woman and the; other one are in league with each other.” “And the address!
