plunge of the sudden spring of a long
crouchng, hungry cat.
A Command.
stop! Officer, l have an important
communication to make to you"
Mrs. Rimingtons voice rang out in
sharp command, but the warder paid no
heed to her; he had turned toward the
cottage door and was giving the signal
that in an instant materiali2ed those
shadows lurking black against the frost
bound background of the night into liv-
ing, eager, hurrying shapes that swarmed
in and about the cottage Then, almost
before the white faced woman by the fire
realized that he was disregarding her
command he was at the second door, his
hand on the knob
stop For a second time the sharp
command rang out. There was curl
ously harsh and cultural note in Debo-
rah Rimington's usually clear voice.
Betty was conscious of this even in that
moment of tension. The warder his hand
on the door, was conscious of it, too, and
turned. The red glow from the freight
showed the watching girl the scene; the
eager, eXpectant faces of the search
party, the irritated surprise on the face
of the man by the door, and Deborah
Rimington's face, chalk-white and hid
eously distorted, as though by some over
mastering spasm of fear and pain.
Before you touch that man, listen to
what | have to say. Before-I-it isn't
possible to keep silence
The words were hardly Ineligible, de
livered in spasmodic breaths that came
across the kitchen with curiously dramat-
ic effect Betty, realizing that the woman
was i'll and abnormally moved, yet felt
powerless to go to her assistance For a
fraction of time that seemed to her to
last for hours she stared across at the
woman, waiting for those disjointed words
to form themselves into some coherent
message. The scene hung motionIess be
fore her consciousness like some pictured
incident rather than an actual happening;
movement was suspended the very world
seemed to stand still, waiting
Then-in the confusion of the happen
ing, Betty could never tell what really
occurred, she had an odd impression that
the first sound to snap that waiting si-
lence was the fan, preposterOusly loud, OF
a Collapsing peat-tuTf on the hearth-the
scene broke into sudden action. She saw

its arms in a strange, stiff gesture and
plunge forward heavily, face downward.

TODAY s INSTALLMENT.

great blast of chill air rushed into
the cottage, drawing a gust of smoke and
white ash from the open fire-white ash
| that powdered the figure of the woman
standing before it like snow Only one
of the officers entered the kitchen, but
Betty had the impression of other figures
black against the white, glimmering
background of the starlit night He
was big man, clean shaver and heavy
jowled; his eyes beneath the peaked cap
swept the kitchen with a comprehensive
glance. 1t needed no superlative wit, no
deduCtive power removed above mere
common sense, to tell the man all he
needed to knOw-that his quarry was run
to earth There were teltale traces
everywhere-the track left by the clumsy
, boots, all mired by the red Devon earth;
the tables, with it's evidence of a hasty
meal; this girls white face.
Where's our mani" he asked The
question was addressed to Betty but his
eyes rested curiously on Mrs. Rimingtons
immobile figure by the fire. I'VE know
he's here so don't give us trouble un-
necessarily, miss. We've had enough, out
on the moor all night"
What man? What do you mean?"
said Betty. There was something in her
eyes and bearing that daunted the man
in spite of himself. There is no one
here, as you see. save this lady and my
self. Why do you come in so alarming a
way"
The man made an impatient click of
his tongue against his teeth and tilted
back his cap a little. He was in no mood
for gentleness; he was physically weary
and mentally sore by reason of certain
criticisms brought against him with
IL
the singular failure to, up to the present,
secure either of the prisoners who had
made so audacious a bid for freedom.
But he made an effort to control his
temper.

Bettys clear voice, with It's note OF
chill Indignation that, in spite Of himself,
was making its impression on the officer,
was cut short by a word OF peremptory
command. Mrs Rimington, who, up to
the present, had remained passive by the
fire, her black dress and whitened hair
powdered with the gray ash which the
sudden draught from the door had drawn
from the fire, had turned with an up
raised hand.

. . The Manicure LADY o o
By William F. KIRK

IETGU.ESS that now, George" said
the Manicure Lady to the Head
Barber, "Wilfred has got the
right idea at last-at least, as near as
l can figure it. He has almost got the
third act of what 1 think is a wonder
ful play about Arizona. 1t tells about
English gent that got the can tied
to him at home and then went out into
the deserts of the great Southwest to
start ranch. That's just like Eng
lish Teller, George, going out into d
desert to start a ranch. l suppose he
thought that 1t didn't matter bit
whether or not he raised any fodder,
or anything of that sort just so he had
a ranch. If there is anything a Eng
ltshman likes in America, George, it is
TO go out onto a ranch in one of them
deserts and look at the burning sands,
after he has planted a little garden
sass which is never going to come up,
and after he has turned a few sheep
loose on the ranch of sand, and a few
chickens. Then, after the garden sass
doesn't come up on his ranch, and after
the Sleeps and the chickens have died.
he takes all his remittance checks, says
That's just like America and goes
back TO New York, where he may or
may not get some sort of a clerical job
and all that sort of thing.
But as | was saying, George. Will
fred is writing this play about a ranch
er In Arizona, and in the climax of the
play it tells how the English rancher
Is about to die of thirst Brother is
in deadly earnest this time, George, and
l wouldn't be a lot surprised if he puts
one over at last He is so much in
earnest that he is going without water
to get the real feeling of thirst You
see, George the poor boy amt got the
price to go out on the Arizona desert
and get the real local color, so he has
to lay, off on the drinking and pretend
that he is one % them thirsty pros
pectors"
Il don't thing that fasting and drink
ing is going to give no writer the regu-
lar local color" said the Head Barber
PA doesn't think so, either" said the
Manicure Lady "Of course. George,
any girl or gent with one eye could see
why father would be against a course
of denying thirst Thirst is one of the
best pals that the old gent ever had, and
II would sure take some stretch of i'm
agination to imagine father ever be-
coming enough of a seeker after the
local color for a play to keep him with
parched throat. Goodness knows,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-24

George, that in dear old dads whole ca
reer he never went to bed with a
parched throat, and when he wakes up
in the morning, when all them 'sparrows
is chirping, his throat only stays
parched long enough to let the bellboy
come up the hall with the ice that
clinks in the. pitcher"
Il hope the kid makes hit with his
play" said the Head Barber.
II hope so, too, George. He has to
raise $50 first to keep up his life insur-
ance policy, and every time he looks at
me can see in his eyes that twelve
pound look

To women who live in apartments
the washing of clothes is problem. The
solution is Fels-Naptha soap.
No need of hot water; no boiler, no
dashboard. For light washing you don't
even need washtub, because the bathtuF
or basin will do quite we'll.
All you require is Fels-Naptha, cool
or lukewarm water and a p lace to dry the
clothes.
Say you have a Shirtwaist or two, nap,
kins lingerie and other small things, that
YOU don't have time or don't want to send
out to be washed You can do much bet
ter at home in this way:
Wet the clothes, soap we'll with
Fels-Naptha, roll and leave to soak in cool
or lukewarm water for short time. Then
rub lightly, rinse and hang up to dry.
Takes but one-fourth the time and
one-tenth the work OF the old way. Also
saves the clothes
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper
