Movinu Washday

Since the National health insurance
act went into effect in England this
summer washing day has treatened to
move down the week from Monday to
anywhere this side of baking day.
which anybody who knows anything
knows is Saturday. The reason is
that the first employer of the week
has to pay the washerwoman's insur-
ance contribution. So, if you keep
Monday for your washday, you have
to pay threepence extra. A good
many employers have already shifted
to Tuesday in the hope that other
and more stubborn housekeepers will
stick to Monday and pay the three
nece. But If everybody changes to
Tuesday, there will be nothing for it
but for the economical to change
again to Wednesday, and to continue
changing until all the possibilities in
the case are exhausted. 1t is said that
conventional England contemplates
this shifting of washday with stony
horror-but threepence is threepence.

deed, or that she is an accomplice:
and he thinks he is on the right trail.
M. Guibert, I must discover the cul-
prit, and am willing to offer reward
that may tempt any one to help me In
my search. The hotel proprietor sug-
gested me writing to M. Goron, asking
him to come to our assistance, as
these local detectives seem unable to
clear up the mystery"
1T is useless to write to M. Goron,"
replied Remember that this Is be-
yond his sphere of action; and that
with the work on his hands in Paris
you cannot expect him to attend to
crimes committed in the provinces"
Il dare say you are right" groaned
the old gentleman, besides"
He stopped, and moved uneasily in
his chair.

The next morning We heard that NJ.
Julien was looking for man, a wait

honesty, who, on the afternoon of the
robbery, had been seen lettering near
the house. He had since disappeared;

A week after the foregoing CONVEX
sation a cab drove up at the door OF
the hotel Thibaut's and my luggage
was hoisted on the top; and We shook
hands with some of the guests, includ-
ing the count, who witnessed our de-
parture for Paris.
Halfway to the station We met the
countess on her bicycle, some so yards
ahead of her party.
Bon voyage, NJ. Guibert! she

sigh of relief.

The count is jealous, and would, If he
could, at once clap the handouts on

do the hotel officials. What a CHASTITY

And the countess? You don't

Il have not exchanged a word with

the guests in the hall eagerly discus

hush, for the door of the managers
