had @;tio dimcuity in finding the nail
from which the piece of canvas had
been suspended. 1t was one Of thin
wire, with very small head, driven
snto the tree at a distance of about
four and half feet from the ground.
Just beneath it | found four scatter
ing bullet holes, with the bullets too
deeply embedded to be extracted with
so poor tool as a pocket knife.
From this it was evident that the
shots had been fired at comparative
ly short range as indeed they must
have been, seeing that the trees here
grew so thiekly as to make impossi-
bic any very extended line of sight
upon the target.
Somewhat to Evelyn's perplexity
began making a careful inspection OF
the ground, nCe only about the tree,
but as far away from 1t as the range
Of vision extended.
"What are you looking for?" she
demanded, with a show Of concern,
and, thought, a little peeyishly.
Footprints" l answered laughing.
"Rahold the American Sherlock"
Have you found any,"
"Only Cinderella's," and that put
her in good humor.
But l found something of much
more importance than the indenta-
lions OF shoe soles. I found it very
near the foot of the tree, just below
where the painting had hung. 1t was
half hidden by underbrush, and at
first [ mistook it for a stone. Gnob-
served by Evelyn, l slipped it into my
pocket.
After ALL" I said to her, there's
not very much to be learned here, is
there?"

OSBORN SEES SCHEME
AGAINST INDUSTRY BOARD

LANSING, Oct. 5.--Referring to the
action OF the state board OF auditors
and the auditor-general in refusing tc
pay Assistant Secretary Price more
TIM $500 per year when the indus
trial accident board has agreed to fiS
his stipend at $1,000 per year, Gov
Osborn says he believes that 1t is 8
deliberate attempt to hamper the
board in it's work.
While Rice is termed assistant sec
retary, the board Of auditors holds
that he is nothing more than com
mon clerk and Is only entitled to $500
under the graded salary act.
THE Industrial accident board
says the governor, ''is Of great import
ance to the Industrial interests of the
state and right now when there is
such a rush of matters incident to
establishing the system the board
needs the best possible staff."

KEEP THE CELLAR SWEET
By q Physician.


II is as necessary to keep the cellar
sweet and sanitary as II is to take
proper care OF the living room or the
bedroom.
Because II Is down under the
ground and comparatively dark 1t is
likely not to get the careful attention
the other part OF the house receives.
Yet, fruits and foods are often kept
In the cellar, to be cool In the sum
mer and warm In the winter.
Quicklime, borax, charcoal, dry
copperas and plaster are the neces-
saries In keeping a cellar sweet and
fresh.
To clean the cellar, move out all
the movable things; sweep 1t thor
oughly; take up the dust, open the
closets and bins and set doors and
windows wide open.
In each enclosed place set an earth
en- vessel. dish or bowl, with sew

Strew grains Of dry copperas all

not wet 1t. However be sure the
stacking is thorough. Steam from the

Leave the cellar open or empty for

powdered borax all around, In corners
and along the walls And wherever
there is a place where 1t will not be
In the way. hang a piece Of net, such
as fish net, with some Jumps OF fresh
charcoal tied inside. Leave the

Every few weeks take out the char
coal bags, empty them. heat the char
coal very hot. Return to the bags
and replace them.
Charcoal has marvellous power to
absorb all sorts of ill-odors. And its
power is in proportion TO its fresh
ness, which the heating restores.
Make cheese cloth pads Of plaster,
mixed with powdered slack lime, and
and hang them against the walls
which are likeliest to be damp. Both

CHICAGO, Oct 5.-Fleeing from

trict OF Chicago practically went out
OF business early today. States At
torney Wayman's vice crusade, the
most spectacular in the history Of the
Chicago underworld. swept men. WON
en- and girls into the police stations
by the score.
When word went along the myster
ious wires of the underworld that "the
raiders are out" autos. carriages and
street cars carried hundreds from the
segregated district. In their panic,
many abandoned their valuables and
others bundled them In tablecloths
and hastily improvised packages.
States Attorney Wayman has fled
400 complaints against persons in the
underworld, but less than half OF
these can be served. The others are
for fugitives who fed during the
night. The prosecutor estimates that
before the war ends he will cause
perhaps 5000 writs to issue. II the
'"vice key" list OF owners of property
used for dives, is produced, according
to court order. prominent men and
women are expected to be revealed
as drawing revenue from property.
In police courts this morning, 500
women and men, the latter in the min
ority, inmates and keepers of the re-
sorts OF the "vice trust" were ar
raigned. Their cases were variously
disposed of. Most OF them were fined
and warned to cease their illegal call
ing.
Mayor Harrison has not been moved
by the reformers to change his policy

not order raids unless the trials In
