CHAPTER VII.

While l waited for breakfast /
opened the morning paper eagerly,
yet fearing to find some new and
startling disclosure.
Mrs. Stubs subscribed to the most
lurid OF yellow journals, Two pic
lures confronted me on the first page.
On the right desperate-looking man
with the fierce black mustache and
heavy, overhanging eyebrows con-
coded to melodramatic villains glow
cred darkly at me; ON the left an old
lady with meekly parted hair and
folded kerchief looked trustfully into
space. Between the pictures, in inch
long red letters, was the searching
query, did He Kill Her?" Beneath
them were the respective names Or
Stanford de Coursey Starr and Miss
Harriet Schuyler.
] read the article and learned from
it that Starr had long and secretly
made practice OF extorting money
from wealthy women on one pretext
or another, and that with the unrav-
cling Of this mystery other crimes
would probably be discovered for
which he was also responsible. l
also learned that II. ID. Casey, the
suspected accomplice, had passed a
restless night and was now supposed
to be feigning insanity, as he insisted
he was detained by mistake and had
never been arrested. This latter. the
reporter added, was an old dodge
and would receive no notice from the
authorities.
ate my breakfast, the food tasting
to me like ashes and the coffee con-
tanning dregs of bitterness.
I'm going OUT / announced to
Mrs. Stubs, evidently much to her
relief; and sailed forth to look for
Nancy.
! went first to Mrs. Joseph Robin
sons, hoping against hope that
Nancy might have returned. Aunt
Josephine received me with dignified
resignation. She was more angry and
less agitated than Gu the previous
afternoon, and was. so she informed
me, having Nancy's belongings
packed for shipment to her father.

Advocates College Duels.

Professor C. L. Demuralt, the new
professor of electrical engineering Of
the University of Michigan, advocates
duelling as a college, sport in place
of football, Though born in Brook
Ign he was educated in German
schools. He was famed as one OF
the best swordsmen among students.
He says:
While there may be objections to
having mans face SCARED, l cannot
help but think it preferable to having
his arms and legs broken in football.
German duelling is fully as valuable
an educational feature as football.
and it presents the great advantage
of developing strong individuality and
reliance on ones personal strength, a
feature not present In such a degree
in football.

have had ample opportunity Of
watching salmon all my life, from the
time they enter fresh water till their
return to the sea, and have given
close attention to the subject, and

Man is not machine capable of
ceaseless work, dogmatizes the Hart
ford Times To be effective he needs
and must have recreation. He must
from time to time go fishing or at
tend a ball game or theatre. The
Romans called for bread first and
then circuses. The automobile fur
nishes healthful recreation to a man
and his family. Adding the health
and the recreation together it pays
better than the theatre and as well as
a ball game.

The American Sugar Refining Com

closed before Morgan j.. O'Brien, a
Supreme Court referee. The city
threatened to shut off the water from

company paid a bill of $525,00O for
water which, it is estimated, the COM

dulent means Fouryears have passed
since the action was begun, and more
than rs, 1000 pages of testimony have
been submitted. Referee O'Brien re-

Every American who has been in
Berlin knows about the Cafe Bauer,
insists the New York Evening Post.
1t was bought the other day by ho-
tel syndicate, but it is not likely that
any change will be made in the way
1t is conducted. 1t was established
in 1877 by Matthias Bauer, who be-
lieved that genuine, Vienna cafe
would be appreciated in Berlin. 1t
was an immediate success; coffee was
served in the diverse Viennese styles,
and Bauer himself taught the Berlin
bankers how to make the Horn
chen" "Kipferln" and "Kaisersem-
meln" that go with it. He was, more
over, the first to serve Prayer Schin-
ken" Champ and genuine Pilsener
beer. He died in 1894 wealthy
man, and since that time the man
Rgement has been in the, hands of his
sons, who still further developed it on
his lines. The astonishing number of
800 newspapers and periodicals from
all countries and continents is kept
on file here, for the perusal Of any
one who pays five cents for a cup of
coffee. These newspapers cost some
$500 a year. Another thing that
attracts visitors from all parts of the
world is library containing the di-
rectories of 125 leading cities OF all
continents. Would such cafe be APP
preciated in New York City?

Mrs Stubs suddenly seized my un-
occupied hand.
IT allus liked you best" she af-
Grmed. you was allus polite and
civil, so you was. And if you say
| you was here yesterday, why, / reckon
you was I'm that fiustered ]
wouldn't know my own brother. The
house is watched, SO it is, and I've
got to appear in court, they say,

thing alike twice-so how am I goin'
to tell 'em over again jest what ]
told 'em yesterday"
/ absently squeezed her hands
again because l did not know what
else to do.
IF could have some break
fast" 1 began, but she at once
interrupted me- Evidently Mrs.
Stubs had experienced change of
heart since she assembled the stairs
with belligerent intent.
Breakfast, is it?" she said. why,
to be sure. I'll fix you something in
a jiffy and bring it up. It's worn out
with watchin', you are, like meself,
and a bit of something hot will put
life into you"
''Pd rather come down to your
room,' suggested II couldn't
think of allowing you to climb all
these stairs for me"
She rapidly expostulated that it
was a pleasure rather ahan trouble
for her to climb stairs on my account.
So urgent did she become that ] sud-
denly grew suspicious.
rs there any reason l should not
go to your rooms?" demanded.
Mrs. Stubs quailed. ] distinctly
saw her color change, and furtive
look appeared in her eyes.
Surely not" she fastened to as
sure me. Come when-you like and
welcome. I'm glad to see you, I am,
as well you know. I'll go down now
and get the coffee boilin', and in ten
minutes or SO, if you'll come down,
I'll be ready for you
But this arrangement did not
please me at all.
'T'll go now" l said, with you,
and wait down there"
We descended the stairs together
and in silence, Mrs. Stubs leading
the way. When we reached the door
of her little parlor in the basement
she opened it part way, and, turning.
faced me.
Come in she said, speaking very
distinctly; come in and rest you
Your breakfast will be ready soon"
She paused, her head on one side,
like an animal that listens.
Come in, sir she said to me;
come right in
! entered and looked about. I had
been in the room before-we took it
in turns to visit Mrs Stubs and pla-
cate her when the rent was behind
and our luck against u.s. 1t was the
same, yet somehow different. A chair
pushed close to the window suggested
recent occupancy, yet why should
Mrs. Stubs not have occupied it be-
fore coming upstairs? Also, there
was a faint. lingering perfume, and
/ shifted it thoughtfully In some
way it was familiar. Instantly the
woman beside me leaned over and
flung open the window.
'"The room does get that close, y
she remarked. "Air it as often as /
may, it don't make no difference. A
bit of freshness will be good for us
both"
A latch clicked and a door shut
softly. The strained expression
faded from my companions eyes, and
she assumed manner of busting
hospitality
Make yourself at home" she
urged. Go where You please and
do as you please. And I'll have
breakfast as soon as / can get it
ready"

Around the ton Of the drum is wound

Around the top of the drum is wound
flexible cord. The eggs are placed
in the receptacle and the cord lie
pulled to its full length, thus causing
the blades to revolye rapidly in the
mixture. The momentum thus gained
causes the cord to rewind about the
drum, and when it is again drawn out
the blades revolve in the opposite d.
rection and the cord winds up once
more. This double action continues
indefinitely, or as long as is necessary
to operate the beaten to do the work.

keen wind that swept down from the
Saline Peaks put another check to
