CARE OF PIANO KEYS.

To keep piano keys clean and pre-
vent the discoloration of the ivory.
dampen a piece of muslin with alcohol,
and with it rub the keys. The alcohol
can do no damage. and If frequently
applied. the keys will stand in want OF
no other treatment. but If they have
already begun to turn yellow rub them
with cotton flannel wet in Cologne water.
Even old and discolored ivory may be
rejuvenated, no matter what the cause
of discoloration, or how long standing.
An acid applied repeatedly will usually
restore the keys to their original white
ness. Cotton flannel cloth, wet with a
saturated solution of oxalic acid and
water and laid upon the keys will re-
move all stains. Care should be taken
in the use OF such a bleacher as this
that it does not touch anything from
which color is not to be removed, for 1t
does its work with great certainty.

A short visit 10 the grimy, foul
smelling basement Of the City Hall,
brisk walk with the cutting wind at
our backs and I felt rather than saw
that we were in the neighborhood OF
the scene of my adventures Of a night
that had come so near costing me my
life, and then l saw the lantern sign
give forth its promise Of the varied en-
tertainment that could be had at Bor-
toms.
Here we are" said Corson.
We pushed open the door and en-
tered. The place had the same aD-
pearance as the one to which had
been taken by Dicky Nahl
"a fine night, Mother Borton," said
Corson cheerily, as he was the first to
enter, and then added under his
breath, for the diyils business.
Mother Borton stared at him with
black look and muttered a curse.
Good evening" l fastened TO say.
Il took the liberty to bring a friend;
he doesn't come as an officer to-
night"
The effect on the hays features was
marvellous. The black scowl tighten
ed, the tight-drawn lips relaxed, and
there was a sign Of pleasure in the
bright eyes that had flashed hatred
at the policeman.
"Ah, it's you, is it?" she said sharp
~, but with tone of kindness in her
greeting. 4 didn't see We. Now sit
down and find table, and I'll be with

Are ye, honey" said the wGman
with delight Then it's the best din
ner in town We shall have. Here, jim!
Put these gentlemen over there at the
corner table"
Its not the aristocracy of stole ye
get here" said Corson, lighting his
pipe after the coffee, but it's prime
eating"
l nodded in lazy contenment, and
then started up in remembrance of
the occasion of our being in this place
as the shadow of Mother Borton fell
across the table.
IF you will go upstairs" she said
sourly. you know the way l guess
your friend can spare you"
rs there anything that can't be told
before him." l asked
You'll be safer In my care than in
his" she said, with warning In her
tone.
Yes, yes. know I am safe here.
but how is it with my friend If I leave
him here? We came together and
Wen go together"
The crone nodded with laugh that
ended in a snarl.
IF the gang knew he was here there
would be more fun than you saw the
other night"
Don't worry about me, Mr.. Wilton,
said Corson with a grin. I've stood
her crowd off before, and I can do it
again IL the need comes. But I'd rath-
er smoke a poipe in peace"
You can smoke in peace, but it's
not yourself you can thank for it, -
said Mother Borton sharply. "Therell

his overcoat closely, as Corson gave
him brief report of the situation on

said Corson.

The silence OF the house Of mystery
was no less threatening now than on
the night when Henry Wilton was
walking through the halls on the way
to his death. But the stout-hearted
policeman by my side gave me con-
fidence, and no sign showed the pres
ence OF an enemy as I secured Henry'S
heavy overcoat and the large revolver
he had given me, and we took QUIZ
way down the stairs.

The insurgent press, hard up for
Issues to project against Senator
Kittredge, is now claiming that the
senator is delivering this lecture
throughout. the state for the purpose
of raising a calcpaign fund. That
is pretty cheap stuff and will not be
believed for a moment In the places
where the senator has delivered his
lecture. When the senator spoke in
Mitchell we arc quite.sure that his
alleged campaign fund was not in
creased by one cent, for all the
money that vas taken in, after pay
ing expenses of printing, was turned
over to the high school committee.
The same statement can be made
by every society which has engaged
the services of the senator.
