What do you think of it?'' asked,
when showed no disposition to talk.
"I'll be damned if know" he re-
sponded, looking around for some place
to expectorate and finding none.
'"The window" suggested, and he
went over to It. When he came back
he had rather peculiar expression.
He sat down and pulled for a moment.
I'm the first place." he began, I'VE
can take it for granted that, unless she
was crazy or sleep-walking she didn't
go out in her night-clothes, and there's
nothing Of hers missing. She wasn't
taken in carriage, providing she was
taken at all. There's not mark of
wheels on that drive, newer than a
week, and besides, you say you heard
nothing"
Nothing I said positively
Then, unless she went away in a
balloon, where it wouldn't matter what
she had on, she is still around the
premises. It depends on how badly
she was hurt"
Are you sure it was she who was
hurt?"" l asked. THAT print of hand
that is not Miss JAMES,"
In reply Hunter, led the way down
the stairs to the place where the stain
on the stair rail stood out, ugly and
distinct. He put his own heavy hand
on the rail just below it.
Suppose" Sc said, suppose you
grip something very hard, what hap,
pens to your hand?"
ut spreads" l acknowledged, seeing
what he meant.
Nov, look at that stain. Look at
the short fingers-why, it's child's
hand beside mine. The breadth is
from pressure. 1t might be figured
out this way. The fingers, you notice,
point down the stairs. In some way,
let us say, the burglar, for want Of a
better name, gets into the house. He
used ladder resting against that
window by the chest Of drawers"
.Ladder!" exclaimed.
Eyes, there is. pruning ladder
there. Now then-he comes down

THINK 1T OUT FOR YOURSELF.

One Of the employers in this city, in talking Of men
few days ago, said:
"There are plenty Of men who can DO it now, il
someone will tell them what to do and how to do it."
Was that man talking about you? Are you one Of
the men who has to be told how to do it,"
Pinch yourself-wake up think about this state
ment, and see if this wasn't talking about YOU
Then keep awake until you do little thinking about
yourself When. you get to thinking about yourself,
you'll get to thinking about your work It makes no
difference whether you are employer employee
advancement is open for BOTH If you think you are
too big for the position you occupy, it is very likely
you too small for it. There is way for you to get
away from the position you n and that is to
make that position better one-do your work better
than you have been doing it. and better than it is done
by your competitor better than it done by the
man who preceded you.
Remember, that in every line of business the last
idea is yet to be developed That is just true in what
you working at it is about what the other fell
low is doing. Don't wait for him to do i-thnk it out
for yourself and put it in operation If that plan is
not success drop it, but do not stop trying to inn
prove It will require work at regular hours and
time, too. That's good-thats what you want. The
grave is yet to bedug for the who died from over
work If you work simply for "hire"-simply to hold
your "job" then we admit that few hours will tire
you but if you really working for the accomplish
en Of something you keep up fast gait far in
to every night and preserve your health.
The fact that you are simply man working at
the same thing that many others are working at
needn't hold you back That is no reason for you to
keep trailing along You show what you are right
where you are.
Elihu Root read the constitution and it's nterpreta-
tons out Of the books that used by thou
sands Of other lawyers but he read and re-read them
until he understands them better than almost any other
man in this country.
Think out some way Of doing your work better than
you are now doing and Do IT. The position at the
top in your line is still vacant.

more than she intended to. and all AZ
once her bravado left her, and she
looked like frightened child. I went
over to her and took one trembling
hand. :
Il wish You didn't know all those
things" I said. But since you do.
won't you let me share the burden?
The only reason am still here is on
your account
had sort of crazy desire to take
her in my arms and comfort her, War
drop or no Wardrop. But at that
moment, luckily for me, perhaps, Miss
Letitias shrill old voice came from
the stairway.
Get out Of my way, Heppie." she
was saying tartly. ''I'm not on my
death-bed yet, not If know 1t. Where's
Kno1?"
