MoClue climbed up and looked over—just in time to see the back of @ retreating policeman on guard out- side, The detective smiled, disen- gaged the rope, fastened the hook to the top of the wall, and let himself down. A skillful jerk was now suf- ficient to release the grapple, and— coiling the rope rapidly around his waist beneath his coat—he walked away across a stretch of sand to- werd tne shore of the Sound. By the time the policeman was mak- ing bis return trip he was safely hidden beneath a boathouse and a few minutes later had reached the rear of a neighboring estate. After that, it was an easy matter to gain the highway, where he hailed a passing automobile in charge of a Jone chauffeur. “I suppose there 1s a hospital some- where near,” he said to the driver as they swept into the village. “I'll take you there,” was the good- matured response, And McClue soon feund himself entering a large edifice. “Have you any recent accident cases?” he asked of a young woman @t the desk, “Fracture case came in early this morning.” “Fracture - bn bat “Compoun: ture of the right a he seems to be only a “Could I see him?’ asked MoClue. “I see no objection. But you won't find him very prepossessing. He says he fell trying to catch a freight train, and looks exactly like that sort of @ person.” ‘The patient imy in a bed at the end of an otherwise empty ward, and Seemed to be asieep. And as soon as they were alone the Ferret took his lens from his pocket, picked up the hand that was lying outside the cov- erlet, and brought the finger-tips and glass firmly in contact. The sup- posed tramp sat up with a start. “Hey, Doc, what're yeh doin’ wit’ my lunch hooks?” he demanded. “Just feeling of your pulse, that was all,” said McClue, carefully wrapping the magnifying glass in a sheet of the morning's newspaper which he had found beside the bed, “Pulse nothin’! And say, you ain't ‘the doc, after ail. W'at's the game “There is more than one physician im this hospital, my friend.” ‘The de- tective's eyes were scanning the re- joains of the paper, but it was a New (Yorke sheet and there was no sign that any news from Ivy Towers had yet reached it. “Any physician is better than a policeman—ch? “W'at's that?” “You were burt trying to steal a ride, you know, and they're rather hard on vagrants in this county. But I must be going. Nothing at all in the paper, I see. You'll find it dull out bere in the country, I’m afraid, Goodby.” “Not much yeh don't say goodby, Professor—not yit, Wat's the lay, I asks yeh? An’ w'at d'yeh mean by they’s bein’ nothin’ in the paper?” McClue had turned to go, Now, truck by a familiar intonation in the other's voice, he wheeled about. “Why, if ft isn't Chicago Mike! And here I've been wasting time get- ting your finger prints.” “Come off! Yeh spotted me the first wink, Ferret—jist as I did you, or I wouldn't have drawed no spot- light on myself by startin’ a arge- ment, An’ yeh ain't got nothin’ on me, so yeh Might as well say w’at's doin’.

Chicago Mike shook his head. “I don't know what yeh're talkin’ Sbout. G'wan an’ leave me alone. I'm tired an’ sick. Come back if yeh want to, but this here seeants is over.” Not another word would he say, and McClue knew that it was useless try- ing to pump out anything further uri the fellow had had time to de- cide upon a line of action, Believing that he had done a good day's work, the Ferret started back for the Towers by the way he had come. There was also the snuff-box found at the foot of the stairs. Reaching the laboratory and finding that Louns- bury was not about, McClue decided that it was a good time to see just what sort of snuff the box had con- tained, Copious traces of white pow- der suggested arsenic rather than to- bacco, and he had not forgotten that a poisoned dog remained to be ac- counted for, Seating himself at a convenient table, the detective lighted a spirit lamp, crumbled some charcoal from the burned match with a few grains of the white powder, put the mixture on the point of « knife and plunged it into the flame. ‘The test was posi- tive. At this moment he chanced to look up—and confronted the steady, ex- pressionless eyes of his servant, Yan Hui, "I come see why no eat him luueh,” explained the Oriental. “T'd forgotten it. Think you could rustle around and get me a bit before dinner!” “| go fetch light away.” Yen Hui departed—so stealthily that he left the impression of huwing faded away, McClue returned to his chemistry Certainly Lounsbury kept a re- markable collection of chemicals. It ev yielded = sulphomolybdic acid, which, when mingled with the pow- der turned it an intense crimson, changing gradually to green and finally to sapphire bine. “See that?" he cried, turning to Yen Hul, who had again approached un- announced—this time bearing a tray heavily loaded with eatables. “You Savvy magic? I've just discovered that there is a very bad man some- where in the world.” “Plenty bad man evelywhere.” “Queer customer, that Chink,” thought McClue, as he fell to work with knife and fork; “and I guess he's right, I know I'd hate to be the one he thinks poisoned his dog.” But it was very quiet and com- fortable in the laboratory, and by the time he had finished eating and was enjoying a cigarette a strange vague- ness had come over his td 4, A pleasant vagueness it was, too, and did not interfere in the least with the sharpness of a series of gorgeously colored but meaningless images which began to float before his imagination. No longer in the mood for serious mental work, he felt lazily happy and rather wished for some one to talk to. The entrance of Lounsbury seemed particularly well timed. “Just the man I was looking for,” declared McClue. “I wanted to ask you—let me sce—a thousand & creas things “You see,” McClue went on, doubt- fully, like a man who has already forgotten what he meant to “fy been wonderlnge=that is—oh, yes!— wanted to know about in this house.” HAS WIN “It's the newest system,” the other, ystem,” responded “And from the main board you can work the bedroom lights—oven those that are turned off at the fixtures? “No, you can't. But who turns a light off at ihe fixture when there is @ button in the wall?” “And the buttons with the main switch “Certainly not. A man at the main switch last night could have dono— don’t interfere Just what he evidently did do. Is thit what you wanted to know?" “Not exactly,” responded the de- tective, wondering why he wanted to whistle and why he felt no interest whatever in Lounsbury's answers, "I wanted to know what you were do- ing with a camera tn the card-room.” "I sometimes shoot scenes from there,” said the photographer. “And sometimes you take a look at what is going on—eh, old scout?” The Ferret got up from his seat and slapred his friend heartily on the shoulder, nware as he did so that he was not behaving like himself. Lounstury responded to this a? vance by a quick, questioning glance. Then as the detective went back to his chair he laughed. “You've been feeding y well, haven't you, Mac “Why, I don't know, The Chink that Farlow gave me did bring in a pretty good spread,” “Yen Hui? Are you going to have him in here with us?” “Not if you don’t wish !t, son." “Oh, T don't mind, Tut T guess ho carries the key to the cellar, all right.” “Meaning that he served me with a mighty good bottle of wine?” Of McClue's recently acqnired dual personality, the half that stood aside and wotched was inclined to resent the insinuation carried by the photo- grapher's remark. But the other Me- Clue suddenly felt very sleepy, It was simply impossible for him to keep awake. Lounsbury watched while the det tive spread his arms out on the tab! among the dishes and the bottles and buried his head in the pillow thus made, Then a half pitying, half con- temptuous sneer twisted his lip “So this Is the great sleuth said to himself.

THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JUN Can You Beat It! « Gan 1021, Te Yon oy uy, THE CAT HAS BROKEN MY LOVELY VASE By Maurice Ketten Fire and Telephone Girls By Sophie FEW days ago a fire broke out in n very congested section, and fifty telephone girls stood their ground until aid was summoned, Not one left her post, This is becoming traditional, but it is certainly worthy of note. It is a spirit worth promoting—the spirit of fortitude when under fire. It is the metal of which real men are made—and women too. Every one of these girls must feel glad that she stood the test in the time of trouble, It will make each one of the young women better and stronger, avery time one faces an issue and dovs it well it strengthens the back- bone and promotes bigger and braver effort for things worth while. There is nothing more deplorable than being a coward, and it is not dif- ficult to eultivate one's spirit against cowardice, “Self preservation is the first law of nature.” Yet as civilization moves on apace it becomes of less importance. Certainly the preservation of one's eelf regardless of others Is most des- picable, and any one who saves him- Self at the sacrifice of others deserves nothing but contempt Many a time pcople caught in a perilous predicament rush pell mell and let their excited minds have full sway. ‘They usually cause a great deal of harm, If they would only collect them- selves and just stop a minute to con- sider what is best to do, serious con- sequences would be averted. ‘This is the experience of every day. Every person, man, woman or child, may Well school himself to be coura- gous, It can be done in most every e pecially is this important on the part of people who have places of trust such as the telephone girls, upon whom depends the safety of the lives of many individuals. This matter of eliminating fear might well be begun with every child, Many a mother or guardian promotes fear in children by telling them weird stories and otherwise drawing up imaginary bugaboos which in thelr childish minds become exaggerated and cause them to be afraid under circumstances that do not harm them, This brings out the worst in chil- dren rather than the best. It is most important that children be taught the value of bravery, and how much they are to be admired for it, If this is done at home in smail ways, so that they learn t collect Irene Loeb their wits, they are able to face un- expected occurrences with strength and reasoning, 1 know of a family living in the country where this spirit of nerve at crucial times ix strongly developed, The children are taught not to fear creeping things, for example. They learn how to. tr bites of insects or snakes, They are not afraid to handle harmless fleld creatures. t, the Idea of fear is elimin- has possible. When these children go out in the world they will learn how to meet issues in like ma ner, and when danger threatens they will not be cowards. The splendid thing about it all is that cowardice can be beaten and courage can be cultivated or acqui: It Is up to the individual. If one can only realize that death is not the worst thing that pen and that ving one's against all othe in mad moments is worse than death on account of the shame and degradation of it, many indeed would aim to develop the fac- ulty of fortitude, The Jarr Family By Roy L.

By Doris Doscher. . 1921, oo Coorg, Wau Pekin Weck AY back In the’ centuries thet have rolled by, when primi tive man had to depend for his supply of food on the things he could aecure from day to day, Na- ture had her own Way of protecting him from atarva- tion, and this is how she did It: From all the food he ate she took what was neces- sary to build up the broken-down tissues for one day, and all the rest’ she carefully hoarded, after eliminating the waste, as fat in his own body, so that in an emergency this excessive fat could help him to survive when food was not ready at hand for his datly get- tng. But gradually man became wiser and learned to presorve his food by certain crude methods other than storing it in his own body. Then came man's knowledge of what heat would do to food. ‘Then the wonderful revelation of fire. This 1 up the way for centuries of experimenting In the preserving of food right up to our modern canning " and cold storage plants, we know that supply of food can be kept on demand th no need for man to eat more th; one day's supply, and this amount la far less than ix generally known. Man's knowledge of the value of different kinds of foods in relation to his health has been a study entirely too much neglected, and the effect of our sudden enlightment in this respect ix hound to have a beneficial effect on the next generation. You can hardly pick up a magazine or a book that has not allotted @ space to the cons sideration of this subject.

And in this respect Age and occupation must enter into the consideration, ‘The superfluoas fat stored in your own bedy can be drawn upon to supply this deficiency, Perh, when you first make @ change in your dict for reduction you will experience what are known as “false hunger pangs,” and I can give a few suggestions that you will find very helpful. The drinking of broths or any fluid at meal time is always forbidden on a reducing diet, but as these hunger pangs are usually It at 10 o'clock in the morning and clock in the afternoon, you may 2 take a cup of broth from which the fat has been skimmed, or if on ace count of being employed during the day thie is not readily obtalnable, th juice of an orange or a peeled apple, or, better yet, a glass of water elowly sipped, will often tide you over til meal time without that feeling of faintness, One of the chief causes of the als- turbance of the digestive organs is due to improper mastication of th, food. And the fat person must learn the importance of chewing every mouthful of food thoroughly before swallowing It. half: ducing the quantity of your food may make you feel very hungry when the dinner gong sounds. Do not let this lead you into the temptation of committing the unpardonable insult to your body of bolting your food.
