Gluck a. the time of the destruc-
ton along the Atlantic seaboard?"
was the question that formed in
Bannerman's mind. by his own re
quest he was put upon the case. In
no time he ascertained that Glucll
had himself been down the Atlantic
Coast in the late fall of 1910. Also
he ascertained that Gluck had been
in New York City during the cpl
demic of the shooting of policeoffi-
GERS. Where was Gluck now?" was
Bannernan next query. And as if
in answer, came the wholesale de
struction along the Mediterranean.
Gluck had sailed for Europe a month
before. Bannerman knew that. 1t
was not necessary Iur Banneman
to go to Europe. BY means of cable
messages and the cooperation of the
European secret services, he traced
Gluck's course along the Mediterra-
mean and found that in every instance
it coincided with the blowing up
of coast defenses and ships. Also,
he learned that Gluck had sailed
on the Green Star liner Plutonic
for the United States.
The case was complete in Banner
mans mind, though in the interval
of waiting he worked up the de-
tails. In this he was ably assisted
by George Brown, an operator en-
ployed by the Wood System of Wire
less Telegraphy. When the Plutenic
arrived off Sandy Hook, she was
boarded by Bannerman from gov.
ernment tug. and Emil Gluck was
made prisoner. The trial and the
confession followed. In the confes.
sion Glucft professed regret only
for one thing, namely, that he had
taken his time. AS he said. had he
dreamed that he was ever to be
discovered, he would have worked
more rapidly and accomplished
Thousand times the destruction he
did
His secret died with him, though
it is now known that the French
government managed to get access
to him and offoT13 him billion

To Clean Kid Gloves

Take a little sweet milk and piece
OF white or brown soap. Fold a clean
towe! three or four times, spread it
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon it. Take large
piece CT white flannel. dip it in the
milk. t1en rub it upon the soap and
rub She glove downward toward the
1ingets. holding the wrist of 1t by the
left hard. Contirne this process until
the flcVe. if white, looks Of dingy
yellow. but, if colored, looks dark and
entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and
.hen PIT it on your hand, and 1t Will
be soft, smooth. glossy and clean.
Take care. however. to omit no part
Of ths glove in rubbing it and see that
all t3e soi]ed parts are thoroughly
cleaned. This process applies only to
white and colored kid gloves. For
black gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take a
teaspoonful of salad oil. drop few
drops of ink into 1t, and rub 1t all over
the gloves with the tip of a feather;
then let them dry in the sun. White
kid boots and slippers can also be
cleaned by the first process to look
las good as new" and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.

WHY DO WE COUNT BY TENS?
Easily Seen How Much Easier and
Better It Would Be to Reckon by
Dozens-Fingers to Blame.

Why do we count by tens and not
by twelves? It is unfortunate that our
system OF numbers has not two more
signs so that the first number of two
figures would be the number we now
represent by ~" Twelve can be di.
vided by two, three, four and six, and
ten can be divided by only two and
five. You can see how much better
and easier 1t would be to reckon sums
by dozens when you must divide the
numbers every once in awhile, and
you might think that the people that
invented numbers would have seen
this. But nobody did invent numbers
Numbers were already invented be-
fore people knew that there could be
such thing as counting.
Look at your hands. and you will
see why people count by tens Every
one counts on his fingers sometimes,
and there was once a time when not
every one could do even that. Some
savage tribes in Africa are so stupid
that they cannot count above five.

Directions for Making One That AM
Little Girl Can Put Under Her
Arm and Carry Away.

You have probably heard Of the man
who took up his bed and walked, but
here is a bedroom that any girl can
carry under her arm without the least
difficulty. The best of it is that the
young housewife can make the whole
thing by a careful use of glue and
part of some old book. This is the
way to go about it:
Get your father to give you some old
volume with sound covers and strong
back. Then carefully cut the pages
out Of the book and stiffen the back
with a piece of strong cardboard,
which must be glued into place. Then
cut two pieces of cardboard of equal
length for your end walls and cut an
other piece sufficiently long to make
the ceiling. These strips should bo as
wide as the space formerly occu-'ied
by the leaves. Glue the three striIs to
one of the book covers to corresl ond

HIS FASTIDIOUS FIANCE
By LOUIS CARL STEIN
Copy right, l9l, By Associated Literary PEess.l

Mrs. John Durham was what might
be termed an overlooked widow! She
was only thirty-eight years old when
her husband died, and she was by no
means homely woman. and yet at
the age of forty-six she was still q
widow. Such things do happen IN vii
lagos now and then. The piano man
may praise widows eyes, the sew
ing machine man praise her hair. and
the tin peddler look at her with ad-
miring eyes and sigh, but that may
also lead to nothing. 1t had led to
nothing In the widow Dunham's case.
4 widow or any other woman must
have an offer of marriage before she
can refuse it.
The time came. Mrs. Durham was
still hanging on to her forty-sixth
year when along came Moses Frazer.
living in village six miles away.
Moses would have come years sooner,
but for circumstances over which he
had no control He had wife, and
having one, the most he could do was
to sigh and wait When the wife
was gathered in by the Reaper and
a year OF mourning had passed Moses
was free to call on the widow. When
she looked out of the window at the
click Of the gate la,ch and saw him
she knew his errand.
Moses entered the house and talked
about this and that, and it was long
time, and he had crossed and re-
crossed his legs many times before he
got up the courage to say:
Widow, I'm alone in the world, and
SO are you"
oh. but don't mind It," was the
reply.
But l thought you might. 1t some
how isn't natural for a woman to be
living alone. AS the Bible says, there
ought to be man around the house..
Il never read that in the Bible.
Leastwise. shouldn't want man
around under foot. 1t must be a relief
to you not to have a wife mussing
around"
But 1t amt wiGow-it amt re-
piled Moses. Pm so dinged lonesome
I don't know what to do. Sarah knew
