How Father Looked.

Mr.. Blakeslee was putting himself | n
readiness, clotheswise, to attend an aft
ernoon tea with his wife, when his
small daughter appeared on the scene.
AS he slipped into his frock coat, the
child looked up and said: Father, do
you know, when you wear that coat
you look just like a minister"
Then, noticing the hatbox on the
stand near by, she added: "And when
you put on that hat that goes with it,
you look just like a hack driver."-De-

I'd hate to do it, but if you force me.

"We shouldn't resist, colonel, no,
sub; your force is overwhelming. But
it would do no good; you couldn't find
him."
I'VE could try; and we may be bet
ter sleuths than you imagine"
Then it would be the worse for
him; for if you find him, you will find
him dead"
There was something so chilling in
his level tones that Winter broke out
sharply: Are you fooling with me?
Have you been such an incredible mad
man as to kill him ~already?"

amiable voice, do you reckon young

back the heavy tapestry hiding a win

they can both prove an alibi. Mr.. Ar

It was no false lure to distract pur-

angry appeal for information. The
woman was not only repeating Mrs.
Winters message; the message itself
described a fact. As she stood at her

happened to glance at Randall, supple

hotel maid with her own sanitary,
damped, clean cloth; RandalIs eyes
suddenly glazed and bulged in such
startling transformation that, instead
Of questioning her, Mrs. Winter
