CHAPTER v.
MEvans. S. RI

The car ran silently through the
park and out on the broad Sheridan
road. Orme put on as much speed as
was safe in a district where there
were so many police. From time to
time the girl indicated the direction
with a word or two. She seemed to
be using the opportunity to rest, for
her attitude was relaxed.
The hour was about eleven, and the
streets were as yet by no means de-
serted. AS they swung along Orme
was pleased by the transition from
the ugliness of central Chicago to
the beauty of enthusiastically beauti-
full by night The great highway fol-
lowed the lake, and occasionally,
above the muff1ed hum Of the motor,
Orme could hear the tapping Of the
wavelets on the beach.
The girl reused herself Her bear
ing was again confident and untired.
'Have you been up this way before?''
she asked.
mo, Girl
'This is Buena park we are passing
now. We shall soon reach the city
limits"
Clouds had been gathering, and
suddenly raindrops began to strike
their faces. The girl drew her cloak
most closely about her. Orme looked
to see that she was protected, and
she smiled back with brave attempt

at cheerful comradeShip. Don't worry
about me- she said. 'Pm quite dry"
With that she leaned back and drew
from the tonneau light robe, which
she threw about his shoulders.
The act was an act of partnership
merely, but Orme let himself imagine
an evidence of sOlicitude in her
thoughtfulness. And then he demand
ed of himself almost angrily: what
right have I to think such thoughts?
She has known me only an hour"
But to him that hour was as
year, so rich was it's experience. He
found himself recalling her every
change of expression, her every char
acteristic gesture. "She has accepted
me as friend" he thought, warmly.
But the joy Of the thought was modi-
fed by the unwelcome reflection that
the girl had had no choice. Still, he
knew that. at least, she trusted him,
or she would never have let him ac-
company her, even though she seri-
ously needed protection.
They were passing great GENE
terry. The shower had quickly ended.
The white stones and monuments fled
by the car like dim and frightened
ghosts. And now the car swung along
with fine houses, set back in rcomy
grounds, at the left, the lake at the
right.
"Do you know this city," the girl
asked.
81 think not. Have we passed the
Chicago limits?"
Eyes. We are in Evanston"
EVANSTON" Orme had a glimmer.
The girl turned and smiled at him.
''Evanston-Sheridan Road"
"Evans-S. r." exclaimed Orme.
She laughed low laugh. "Ah,
Monsieur Dupin!" she said.
Speeding along the lake front, the
road turned suddenly to the left and
west, skirting a large grove of trees
which Rugged the shore Just at the
turn was low brick building on the
beach. "The life-saving station" ex-
planned the girl; and these are the
grounds of the university. The road
goes around the campus, and strikes
the lake again a mile or more farther
north"
Large buildings were at their right
after they turned. Orme noted that
they were scattered among the trees
some near the street, some at dis
lance back. Then the road again
turned to the north, at a point where
less imposing streets broke in from
the west and south.
"Stop at this corner" said the girl.
Orme threw on the brakes.
1--WE are In Evanston, on the Sheri-
dan road" she said, "and this street
cutting in from the south is Chicago
avenue"
"'Chi. AT" exclaimed Orme.
She had taken the paper from the
pocket of her coat, and was scan
| ming it closely. zone hundred PAGES
north and two hundred and ten east.
IT, must mean tree"
Orme jumped to the ground. He
noticed that the university grounds
were cut off from the street by an
iron fence. There was gate at the
corner by which they had stopped
The gate was not closed. If it were
customary to sh 1T it at night, there
had been some neglect on this partic-
ular evening.

alone on this errand? It may be late
before it is done, and"
"And [ will not sit and rest while
you do all the work. Besides, can

He was selfshly glad in her answer.
do we walk?" he asked.
1--WE will go in the motor" she
said.
"Where is it?"
IT left it around the corner. The
thought came to me that Mr. Poritol
might be here, and I didn't wish him
to recognize it."
Orme thought of the hard quest
the girl had followed that day-bat-
thing for her fathers interests. What
kind of a man could that father be
to let his daughter thus go into diff
culties alone? But she had said that
her father was unable to leave the
house. Probably he did not know how
serious the adventure might be. Or
was the loss of the papers so desper-
ate that even a daughter must run
risks?
Together they went out to the
street. Orme caught dubious glance
from the clerk, as they passed
through the lobby, and he resented
it. Surely anyone could see
The girl led the way around the
corner into side street. There stood
the car. He helped her in and with
out word saw that she was restfully
and comfortably placed in the seat
next to the chauffeur's. She did not
resist the implication of his mastery.
He cranked up, leaped to the seat
beside her, and took the levers.
(which way, Girl?" he asked.
North" she answered.
The big car swung out in the Lake
Shore Drive and turned in the direc-
ton of Lincoln park.

BEAT STOCK MARKET
BY THE USE Of FORCE
ChaIoner Deposes as to the
Power of His "SubIiminaI
Self"

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, October T.
John Armstrong Chaloner's subliminal
self-what he prefers to call his TX
force''-once led him to beat the New
York stock market. he testified yesterday
in the course Of his deposition given in
his suit to be declared sane.
He gave much testimony along psyche
logical lines. but enjoyed most offering a
letter which he says shows Stanford
White wrote untruths to the Princess
Troubetzkoy. formerly Amelie Rives and
Chaloner's former wife.
The letter was written not long after
Chaloner was locked up In Bloomingdale.
White who, according to the testimony.
helped to put him there. was asked by
the princess where her ex-husband was.
She wanted to confer with him about a
business matter.
White wrote her. according to the letter
nut in evidence that Archie Is taking
a badly needed rest in complete seclu-
sion. Poor fellow, he needs 1t badly. II
he does not get it we fear for his mino.
He may take a trip to Europe soon.
The letter is undated ana the enveiope
so torn that the postmark Is not shown.
Chaloner told how the 4 Tor unknoWn)
force" first manifested itself to him.
Three times he had broken a set OF poor
balls in the billiard room or MS nome,
and three times the balls broke In the
shape of "a perfect map of the heavens"
Twice he drew a diagram of the curious
alignment and the third time something,
ne said, made him write these WORDS:
Get a planchette."
After that he began to indulge In au-
tomato writing regularly, and because
he doubted the TX force" he says. the
tx force one night asked him X ne
would be convinced II it led him to beat
the stock market.
He agreed, and, putting up 5000 in mar
gins, says he doubled the money.

HITCHCOCK SAVES MONEY.
Printed Certificate Substituted for
Engraved Paper in Postal Banks.

Because of the unusual interest taken
In the postal savings system. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has anticipated the
need of an exceedingly large number of
certificates of deposit during the remain
der of the present year. 1t was definitely
determined today by him that a printed
certificate of deposit can be used instead
Of the more extensively engraved one
which is being used AT the present time.
The adoption of the printed certificate
will mean the saving of thousands of dol
lars to the government, as the number
required each year will run into many
millions. Experiments made show that
printed certificates can be made to pre-
sent every safety from alterations or
couuterfeiting.
The Postmaster General today signed
order calling on his purchasing agent
10 advertise for proposals to supply ap-
proximately 100000 printed certificates
during the remainder of the present year.

Syria, 246 are Americans, but Of the 1874
missionaries in the Holy Land, only 127
are Americans.
1t has been freely said that the prin-
cipal agency in the awakening of Turkey
has been the American institutions OF
learning. At Beirut. the principal city
of Syria. is the Syrian Protestant College,
an American institution, managed by q
board of directors in New York, and
numbering nearly q thousand students
from all parts Of the Levant This is
the largest modern institution Of learn
ing in the near east. Next to 1t comes
the famous Robert College on the Bos-
phorus. with about 500 students. Both in
teachers and splendid modern equipment,
and their graduates are found In posi-
lions Of leadership all over the empire.
Greatest in the Levant.
The American College for Women, which
is just removing from Scutart to a site
on the heights near Robert College on the
European side of the Bosphorus. is the
greatest educational institution for wom-
en- in the Levant These are the leaders
in a great array of missionary educational
enterprises.
The number Of such Is almost incredible
to the average reader. The total OF
Protestant colleges and universities In
all Turkey supported by the missions of
both Europe and America is !, $3.50. Below
the college grade, but above the grade
Of village schools, and including acad-
emies. high schools industrial schools
and institutes, are 6.6S5 institutions; while
Of village schools maintained by the mis-
sions there is immense total of AZ. 169.
The hope of Turkey, or of the new lands
that will emerge from a dismembered
Turkey. lies In the graduates Of these
schools. who are presumed to be pos
sessed of something of the modern spirit
of progress tolerance and religious liberty
The holy cities Of the Christian faith
and Of the Moslem religion are all with
in the Turkish empire. and 1t Is not
strange that any political strife should
quickly be transformed into religious

PAST Fifty
MUST use CASCARETS
What glasses are to weak eyes,
CaScaretS are to weak bowels
"a Io-cent box will truly
amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural: 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never SO
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.
