Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

WITHOUT DELAY

eadwood-Through the chance
visit to the armored cruiser South Da-
kota last month at Mare Island OF
Colonel w. j. ThOrnby. one of the
pioneer citizens or this city, the mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance OF
! the silver service for the cruiser, for
which the state appropriated $4,000
I five years ago, has been cleared up
and the service will soon be formally
presented to the commander, Captain
James Thorne Smith.
Colonel Thornby visited the cruiser
as she lay at Mare Island on July ;,
and was surprised at the GOODNESS OF
his reception. 1t soon developed, how
ever, that the officers were smarting
under a fancied insult as Captain
Smith explained that although the
cruisers men had won signal honOrs
as expert marksmen and had in other
ways distinguished the state for which
she was named. South Dakota had not
seen fit to follow the time h0nored
custom of presenting its ship with
silver service and the reception cup
board stood empty.
Colonel Thornhy at once got busy
! on his return home. He took up the
matter with Governor Wesley and 9TH
err state officials with the result that
the missing silver service was discoV-
cred last week in a dusty nook in the
New York warehouse where some Of
ficial's negligence had permitted 1t to
Law unnoticed when the ship was
Launched. Then the government took
| a hand and now Captain Smith has
been notified that the service VIII be
presented at once and the bolt remov-
ed from the fair name OF the state OF

good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa

mired She married a fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years, but husband was too much
for her; she had never been cross to

CHAPTER XIV.
The Man In The Cupboard.

Help me. Marriott" Michael Grant
said quickly. Help me to get this
tout onto the bed!"
The bed was one of those expansive
German beds of carved wood in which
one would think whole family could
sleep.
Basil caught up the legs OF the gen.
tleman with the pointed beard, Grant
had him round the shoulders, with
his left hand we'll pressed upon his
mouth and nose, and together the two
young men bore him swiftly to the
bed.
Now. them" Grant said, "rll keep
him quiet!"
The man was quite unconscious, and
directly he was laid down upon the
mattress Grant realized this. Il am
afraid have given it him little bit
too strong" he said. Il hope I've not
done him any serious injury!"
AS he spoke he withdrew his hands
from the inanimate figure and looked
up to Basil. There was no movement
at all from the rigid body upon the
bed.
The two young men regarded each
other with something of alarm. Grant
looked down, and then looked up
again at Basil. His face had sudden
ly paled.
II do hope" he said, that haven't
killed the scoundrel!"
Marriott chuckled. He had caught
up the left wrist Of the silent figure
and felt the pulse beating, a little
slowly and weakly. but, nevertheless,
certainly in the full tide of life.
"He's all right" he said to Grant
Hell come to very soon. You know
