CARE OF CLOCKS.

The household timekeeper needs regu-
lar care and superintendent If 1t Is TO
keep time accurately. A responsible
member of the family should be put in
charge of it, to wind and regulate it.
A clock should be wound as far as
possible, at one stated time, and be reg
ulated at fixed periods; it should be
kept locked so that miscllieyous per-
sons MAJ not play with it; and its face,
hands, etc. should occasionally be dell
cately busted. A periodical oiling may
also be necessary, and for this purpose
employ the purest oil, purified by a
quart of limewater to a gallon of OIL.
Shake this, allow 1t to stand for a few
days, and then carefully pour Off the
pure oil without disturbing the sedi-
ment. The oil should be applied to the
works with a fine eamefs hair brush.

A Conference In the Dark.

He white rays of a distant arc
light filtered through the halt
drawn velvet hangings and laid
a family illumined path across the AMI
b~assador's desk; the heavy leather
chairs were mere impalpable splotehes
In the shadows. the cut-glass knobs of
a mahogany cabinet caught the CLINT OF
light and reflected it dimly. Outside
was the agne, in%definable night drone
of a city asleep, unbrollen by any sound
that was distinguishable, until finally
there came the distant boom of a clock.
1t struck twice.
Seated on a couch in one corner of
the ambassadors office vas Mr.. Grimm.
He was leaning against the high arm
OF leather. with his feet on the seat,
thoughtfully nursing his knees. II his
attitude indicated anything eXcep.
sheer comfort. it was that he vas lis
tenine. lie had been there for two
hours, W~ide-awake. and absolutely mo-
tionless, Five, ten. fifteen minutes more
passed. and then Mr.. Grimm heard the
grind and whir Of an automobile a
h,ock or SO away. coming toward the
embassy. Now it WAS in front.
"Honk, Hon-on-onk.' it called plain
lively. "Hon-on-nnh! Honk!'
The signal, At last! The automobile
went rushing on, full tilt. while Mr..
Grimm removed his feet from the seat
and dropped them noiselessly to the
floor. Thus, with his hands on his
knees, and listening, listening with
every faculty strained, he sat notion
less, pecring toward the open door thai
led into the hall. The car was gone
now the sound of 1t was swallowed M
In the distance, still he sat there. 1t
was obviously some noise in the house
for which he was waiting.
Minute after minute passed and still
nothing. There was not even the wills
per of a wind-stirred drapery. He was
about to rise when. suddenly, viii no
other noise than that Of the sharp click
of the switch, the electric lights i'm the
room blazcd up brilliantly. The glare
dazzled Mr.. Grimm with it's binding
food. but he din't move. Then softly,
almost in a whisper:
Good evening, Mr.. Grimm
It was a woman's voice, pleasant, I'M
surprised. perfectly modulated. Mr.
Grimm certainly did not expect it now.
but he knew 1t instantly--there was moi
another quite like it in the wide. wide
world-and though he was still blinking
a little, he came to his feet courte-
ously.
Good morning, Miss Thorne," he cor,
rected ~gravely.
Now his vision was clearing and he
saw her. a graceful figure. %silhouetted
against the rich green CT the wall dra
ueries. Her lips were curlcd the least
bit. IS If she might nave been smiling
and her wonderful eyes reflected a CLINT

merely remains the task of finding and
releasing the am hassador.
Mr.. Grimm sat perfectly still.
And why," he asked slowly, ARE
you here now"
For the sams reason that you are
here she replied readily, ito see for
myself If the--the person who twice
came here at night-once for tie am
b~assador's letters and nee for his
ciga rettes-would. by any chance, make
another trip. l knew you were here, OF

"You knew l was here" repeated Mr.,
: rimm musingly. And, may -"
Just as you knew that I. or sofnc-
one, at least, had entered this house a
few minutes ago" she interruptei.
THE automobile horn outside was Il

car" Or WIS 1t Blair or Johnson?
Mr.. Grimm did not say.
Didn't you anticipate any personal
danger when sou entered"?' he alerlsd
instead. Weren't you afraid ! might
shoot"
NO"
There was a long silence, MIR, Grimm
still sat with his elbows ON his knee ;,
staring, staring at the vague white
splotch which was Miss Thorne's face
and bare neck. One OF her white ANS
, hung at her side like a pallid sert eat,
and her hand was at rest on the seat
| of the couch.
'It seems, Miss Thorne,' he said at
length, casually, quite casually. that
our paths of duty are ineAtricaby
tangled. Twice previously we have met
under Circumstances that were more than
strange, and now-this. Whatever in
Justice | may have done you in the
past by my suspicious has, ! hope, been
| forgiven; and in each instance we vera
| able to work side by side toward a eon-
c.usion. | am wondering o IL this
singular affair Will take a similar
course"
He paused. Miss Thorne started to
speak, but he silenced her with "A sl:ghr
gesture of his hand.
ut is only fair to you to say that ne
that is. the Secret S~ervice-have
learned many things about YOU he re-
sumed in the same casual tone. we
have, through our foreign agents,
traced you step by step from Rome 10
Washington. We 10Y that YOU are, IN
a way, a representative of a sovereign
of Europe; we know that you were
on a secret mission to the Spanish
court, perhaps for this sovereign, and
remained in Madrid for a month; wa
know that from there you weat to
Paris, also on a secret mission-per-
hans the same-and remained there for
three weeks; We know that you met
diplomatic agents of those governments
later in London. We know all this; we
know tho manner of yonr coming TO
this country: of your coming to Wash
ing. But we don't know why YOU ara
here"
Again she started to speak, and again
he stopped her.

{ THE CARE OF BEDS. !
n \.
LII Id, 4, !,

All beds should be stripped before
breakfast and placed where they can
get plenty Of air and, If possible, a little
an. too
Mattresses should be half turned and
allowed to stand in a draft, SO that the
air will play all aroun them.
Pillows, too, should be treated in the
same way, if YOU want to keep them
from getting musty.
Mattresses should be cleaned and re-
made every three years, If yon want
them to keep their springiness. 1t is
worth while to buy good mattresses in
the first place, if you can possibly
afford il, as these clean again and again
and come up as good as new. Cheap
mattresses are not worth remak1ng
and almost invariably get humpy after
a year or two's Wear.
