CHAPTER ll,.-cont,nued.

In the vestry of the church, after
the blind organist had passed her, the
fictitious spasm of strength that sus-
tanned her seemed suddenly to have
deserted Olive Vanstone. She had
sunk back into a chair.
''Oh. am SO tired; 50 very tired
she whispered; and my head aches
and throbs.''
I'VE must get you across to the
rectory at once" Stephen Ruthen said.
decisively. He saw how i'll she was,
physically and mentally: that she was
quivering Oh the brink of sheer col
lapse. You remember my sister
Hilda, though she was little more
| than school girl when you saw her?
! mine, Olive"
Re raised her to her feet and led
her out into the windy open. He would
return later to lock up the church.
They went slowly along the lane.
where the truccry of the branches
overhead threw their shadowy fret
work on the frosty ground, the rector
supporting the frail, exhausted figure.
Scarcely a word was exchanged.
Stephen was searching his brain for
a clue to the identity of the man who
had masquerade under the name of
Carr. Did lie live at Fellsgarth, the
nci4 hboring town? 1t could hardly be
al Wi!dfell; the village numbered few
Inhabitants, all known to him.
How should he find the man? Per-
Laps after Olive had furnished him
with a description CT this scoundrel
who called himself Frank Carr. Philip
Hume could help him.
They had reached the rectory gate;
Stephens hand was on the latch. He
was glad they were SO near home.
Olives strength was failing fast; she
was leaning more heavily on his arm.
Round the corner of the road, with a
warning screech of the horn, big
motor Ger came swiftly, which slack
ened speed as the man driving espied
the two figures at the gate, whose
backs were turned towards him.
why, EIr. Ruthen-and is that you.
Miss Ruthen?" he cried, slowing up.
TOO cold to ask you to come for a
spin, I'm afraid! Awfully glad if you
could.'
With a swift, startled movement
the woman had turned at the sound Of
the voice. In the white glare of the
acetylene lamp her eyes and the
speakers met
Stephen Ruthen had turned too. to
see a strange look of utter consterna-
ton and fear strike the smile from
the mans face; it had suddenly gone
ashen-gray. Olive clutched Stephens
arm, and her voice rose wild and ex-
cited as she cried:
His name-what is that mans
name?"
Stephen looked bewildered. .
"Alr. Philip Hume Of Wildfell Old
Hail." he began.
Already Hume's hand had jerked the
lever systematically: the great throb-
bing car shot forward along the road.
Amazed, Stephen Ruthen watched the
twinkling tail-light grow smaller in
the distance like narrowing eye. ::
A wild historical laugh broke from
Olive, as she pointed down the road
after the vanishing light.
Phillip Hume. DO you say?" she
cried. "That-that is Frank CART"

Ay, indeed. So far as these things
60, Washington deserves It's enviabls
reputation. But how about what ia
underneath? It is not enough that q
city shall be clean on the outside. The
trouble is that. where such matters
are concerned, people rarely bother
themselves to look beneath the sur.
face. Yet It appears from recent dis
coveries that very disgusting and even
alarming conditions exist in the eating
houses. the bakeries, the fee cream
and candy shops. the grocery stores,
and the laundries Of the national cap
ttal.
The truth is. doubtless, that the,
same sort Of conditions. equally dread:
full and disgusting. exist i'm similar.

the country. Nowhere are such
places properly inspected and It
naturally follows that in many in.
stances they are unclean. Washing.

IS pushing the crusade against mis-.
chiefs of the kind with an enthusiasm
that cannot fail to produce results
results so obviously beneficial that in.
all likelihood they will inspire the au
thorities of other municipalities to I'm.
Tertake similar measures of reform.
The crusade. which has been going
on for only few weeks, has already
brought to light good many facts
Of which it would never occur to most
people even to dream. One Of these
facts Is that the average restaurant
OF good class, while clean and in.

point Of the customer, is on the inside,

plant, outrageously filthy and unsant

cleanliness is all on the outside. They

1t must be remembered that the
acid will remove color as we'll as

stained wood unless the worker

It is we'll to keep a strong solution
