So Does Anty Drudge.

Mrs. NkUOmGn-'l tell you, Anty Drudge, believe in
the emancipation of women from the drudgery Of
housework.' -
Amty Drudge-'S So do l, but joining clubs and making
speeches will never do it. The way to get rid of
drudgery is to find better and easier ways Of doing
the work. That's why I'm telling women how to
wash clothes with Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water.
It takes all the drudgery out of washday."
Many bad cold has started over the
washtub. Use of hot water does that.
Steam opens the pores of the skin; then
the change to cooler temperature causes
the cold
If you want to avoid this danger, do
your washing with Fels-Naptha soap in
lukewarm water. E
No boiling! No nauseous odors! No
steaming suds!
Fels-Naptha loosens the dirt while the
clothes soak in lukewarm water and does
it far more thoroughly than boiling.
Then you rub the clothes lightly rinse
in lukewarm water and your washing is
done.
Especially successful with Aannels,
woolens and colored things.
Clothes are cleaner and whittier, too.
And they last longer. No boiling to weaken
them. No hard rubbing to wear them out.
Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha
and follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

SYNOPSIS.

Miss Innes, spinster and guardian q
Gertrude and Halsey, established summer
headquarters at Sunnyside. The servants
desert. Gertrude and Halsey arrive with
Jack Bailey. The house was awakened by
q revolver shot and Arnold Armstrong
was found shot to death in the hall. Miss
Times found Halsey's revolver on the
lawn. He and Jack Bailey had disap-
peared. Gertrude revealed that she was
engaged to Jack Bailey, with whom she
talked in the billiard room shortly before
the murder. Detective Jameson accused
Miss Innes of holding back evidence. He
imprisoned an intruder in an empty room.
The prisoner escaped. Gertrude was shs-
pected because of an injured foot. Hal
sey reappears and says he and Bailey
were called away by a telegram. Cashier

funct was arrested for embezzlement.

"Nonsense!" said as briskly as !

small. Halsey was probably late-he

But it did not come. After half

quietly, and did not come back. l

Innes," he said. ct has collided with
a freight car on the siding above the
station. No, Mr.. lines was not there,
but we shall probably find him. Send
Warner for the car"
But they did not find him. At
four o'clock the next morning we were
still waiting for news, while Alex
watched the house and Sam the
grounds. At daylight l dropped into
exhausted sleep. Halsey had not come
back, and there was no word from the
detective.

back. Warner drove me; he was
plainly disguised, and he steered the
livery horse as he would the Dragon
Fly, feeling uneasily with his left foot
for the clutch, and working his right
elbow at an imaginary horn every
time a dog got in the way.
Warner had something on his mind,
and after we had turned into the road
he voiced 1t.

my business to understand 1t, for that

afternoon, while you and Miss Ger

car in some sort of shape again after
the fire. and l went to the library to
call Mr.. Innes to see II. went into
the living room, where Miss Liddy
said he was, and halfway across the
library / heard him talking to some

somebody else spoke up; II was a

"A woman! Did you wait to see who

Il wasn't spying. Miss Innes," War
ner said with dignity. But the next
thing caught my attention. She said:
I knew there was something wrong
from the start. A man isn't well one
day, and dead the next, without some
reason / thought she was speaking
of Thomas"
And you don't know who IT was!"
exclaimed. Warner, you had the key
to this whole occurrence in your
hands and did not see it,"
However. there was nothing to be
done. resolved to make inquiry
WHEN BOL HouS, anu IN the mean
time, my present errand absorbed me.
This was nothing less than to see
Louise Armstrong, and to attempt to
drag from her what she knew, or sus-
pected Of Halsey's disappearance.
But here, as in every direction /
turned, was baffied.
A neat maid answered the bell, but
she stood squarely in the doorway,
and 1t was impossible to preserve
ones dignity and pass her.
Miss Armstrong is very i'll and I'M
able to see any one," she said. ! did
not believe her.
And Mrs. Armstrong-is she also
ill?"
"She is with Miss Louise and can
not be disturbed"

CHAPTER XVI.
HaIsey's Disappearance.

TdlSSyS disappearance.
MIR. Jameson came back about
eight o'clock the next morning; he
was covered with mud, and his hat
was gone. Altogether we were a sad
looking trio that gathered around a
breakfast that no one could eat Over
cup of black coffee the detective
told us what he had learned of Hal
sey's movements the night before. Up
to certain point the car had made it
easy enough to follow him. And
gathered that Mr.. Burns, the other de-
tective, had followed a similar car
for miles at dawn, only to find it was
a touring car on an endurance run.
"He left here about ten minutes aft
or eight" Mr.. Jameson said. "He
went alone; at $3.50 he stopped at DR..
Walkers. l went to the doctors
about midnight, but he had been
called out on case, and had not
come back at four o'clock. From the
Doctors 1t seems Mr.. Innes walked
across the lawn to the cottage Mrs.
Armstrong and her daughter have
taken. Mrs. Armstrong had retired,
and he said perhaps dozen words to
Miss Louise. She will not say what
they were, but the girl evidently sus-
poets what has occurred. That is, she
suspects foul play, but she doesn't
know of what nature. Then, appar-
emily, he started directly for the sta
ton. Along somewhere in the dark
stretch between Carol street and the
depot he evidently swerved suddenly
perhaps some one in the road-and
went full into the side of freight.
We found it there last night"
He might have been thrown under
the train by the force of the shock"
said TREMENDOUSLY.
Gertrude shuddered
1--WE examined every inch of track.
There was-no sign"
But surely-he can't be-gone" /
cried. Aren't there traces in the
mud-anything?
There is no mud-only dust There
has been no rain. And the footpath
there is of cinders. Miss Innes, / am
inclined to think that he has met with
bad treatment, in the light of what
has gone before. do not think he
he's been murdered" / shrank from
the word. Burns is back In the coun-
try on clew we got from the night
clerk at the drug store. There will be
two more men here by noon, and the
city Office Is on the lookout"
The creek?" Gertrude asked.
"The creek is shallow now If it
were swollen with rain 1t would be
different. There is hardly any water
in it. Now, Miss Innes." he said,
turning to me, II must ask you some
questions. Had Mr.. Halsey any pos
sible reason for going away like this,
without warning?"
None whatever"
"He went away once before" he
persisted. "And you were as sure
then"
He did not leave the Dragon Fly

story of Alexander Dumas (pere).
who knew little German. He found
himself at an inn in German Switzer-
land. He exhausted his small stock OF
German in trying to make the waiter
understand what dishes he required
for dinner. One he could not make
the man understand, so In despair the
author of Monte Cristo" called for a
pencil and sketched what he wanted.
Some minutes later the innkeeper
himself appeared, bearing a large
open umbrella. Dumas had ordered

Science and Cheese.

A medical authority kindly assures
us that as long as cheese isn't de-
cayed It will not affect the health OF
the consumer. This is fact that we
have suspected for a considerable
time. But how Is the ordinary cheese
epicure to detect the difference-un-
less he waits for results?
There is cheese so thoroughly dis
guised in the costume and aroma Of
decay that its proper standing on the

his honorable rural carrier, as Mr.
Traveller is near Bay Springs, we
are not able to locate him as there
are four rural routes which reach
near that point, we do not know
which one of those routes he is on,
as we don't have those kind of
carriers from Paden office. There
is one other thing Mr. Traveller
should know and that is in regard
to the. Uncle Sam (not the farm
er) pays the rural carrier fixed
salary for his services, regardless
of the condition of the roads or
the mail boxes, but the arranging
of the mail boxes for the convent
ence of mail carriers is condition
required by Uncle Sam for service
and the service is condition for
the salary. Now Mr. Traveller
says their honorable carrier has
five minutes to stay at one mail
box; if he has so boxes to serve
and takes up five minutes at each
box, he takes up 400 minutes at
the boxes which is 6 hrs and 40
minutes and the average time
for serving routes being only
about hours, where is is he when
night overtakes him? So when
you get little better up on your
lesson come again. AS to who |
