Just Like a Girl.

gloom behind the lamps. What in
the world are you doing here?"

diculous at the time. ooh, Halsey,
where have you been?"
Let me take you up to the house."
He was in the road, and had Beulah
and the basket out of my arms in a
moment. l could see the car plainly
now, and Warner was at the Wheel

slippers, over heaven knows what.
Jack Bailey was not there l got in,
and we went slowly and painfully up
to the house.
We did not talk. What we had to
say was too important to commence
there, and, besides, it took all kinds
of coaxing from both men to get the
Dragon Fly up the last grade. Only
when we had closed the front door
and stood facing each other in the
hall did Halsey say anything. He
slipped his strong young arm around
my shoulders and turned me so
faced the light.
Poor Aunt Ray!" he said gently.
And | nearly wept again. I'll must
see Gertrude, too; we will have a
three-cornered talk"
And then Gertrude herself came down
the stairs. She had not been to bed
evidently; she still wore the white
negligee she had worn earlier in the
evening, and she limped somewhat.
During her slow progress down the
stairs | had time to notice one thing:
Mr.. Jameson had said the woman
VINO escaped from the cellar had
worn no shoe on her right foot. Ger
trude's right ankle was the one she
had sprained!
The meeting between brother and
sister was tense, but without tears.

l lighted the living room and we
went in there. Only half-hour be-
fore l had sat with Mr. Jameson in
that very room, listening while he
overtly accused both Gertrude and
Halsey of at least a knowledge of the
death of Arnold Armstrong. Now Hal
sey was here to speak for himself: l
should learn everything that had puz-
zled me.
II saw it in the paper tonight for
the first time," he was saying. ct

this houseful of women, and a thing
like that occurring!"

the outline of the Dragon Fly, and
knew ta;at Halsey had come back.
Strange enough 1t must have
seemed to Halsey, too, to come across
me in the middle of the night, with
the skirt of my gray silk gown over
my shoulders to keep of the dew,
holding a red and green basket under
one arm and a black cat under the
other. What with relief and joy, be-
gan to cry, right there, and very near

excitement.

me to see things fairly we'll. Beulah

two, side by side, went down the
drive.

up silver spoon. So far Rosie's
story was borne out; 1 began to won

the least, this midnight prowling in

two farther on found V-shaped bit
of plate. But the most surprising
thing of all was to find the basket sit
ting comfortably beside the road, with
the rest of the broken crockery piled
neatly within, and handful of small
silver, spoons, forks and the like, on
top! I could only stand and stare.
Then Rosie's story was true. But

Your nephew brought Bailey over.

SUNDAY WORK
Discontinued by the Steel
Corporation.

About 100, 900 men are affected
most pleasantly by the order abo1-
ishing Sunday work by employees
of the companies subsidiary to the
United States Steel corporation.
Roughly estimated, $4,000 men
employed by the Oliver Iron Min
ing company in the ore region, the
Duluth Missabe & Northern and
the Duluth & Iron Range will not
work on Sundays hereafter unless
absolute necessity demands.
The Oliver Iron Mining company
will not mine ton of ore on Sun
day, nor start a car of ore to docks
on Lake Superior. The ore carry
ing roads will operate passenger
trains only and will confne con-
struction work on Sundays to re-
pairs which demand immediate
attention such as broken rail or
damaged bridge.
1t has been the policy of the Du-
luth & Iron Range to avoid Sunday
work whenever possible. The new
order will merely enlarge the scope
of the attitude of that road toward
its employees. Under normal con-
ditions the only Sunday work will
be the operation of passenger traffic.
