When Col. Winthrop and his
East, the colonel brings his niece
Evelyn several unset diamonds
and a ruby.
Archie Winthrop, EyeIyn's cous-
I'm. is staying with them and Is
very much i'm love with Evelyn.
The travellers brought home
with them Montgomery Poole. He
ts interested I'm detective work I'm
an amateur way, and for the joke
OF the thing hides a magnificent
white sapphire right before the
eyes of all the family. They are
to find the stone. That same
night the safe where Evelyn plac-
ed her jewels is robbed and the
ruby and $40 stolen. The dia-
monds are untouched. Poole un-
dertakes to discover the thief and
asks Eyelyn's assistance, believing
that the family Is playing n joke
ON him.
After the robbery Is discovered
Evelyn gives the box of Jewels to
Jack to take TO the bank. Later
she finds Jacks coat thrown care
lessly aside with the box and
jewels splitting out of one of the
pockets. She also discovers the
missing ruby I'm one of the pock-
cts. Jack having asked her for
money to pay bridge debts, she
comes to the conclusion he took
the ruby. Evelyn knows what
Jack is not supposed to, that her
brother is an adopted child, and
that his father was a convict.

Jack added, bitterly.

Jack turned with a hard. cynic-
al laugh. why beat about the
bush this way? You know in the
bottom of your hearts you accuse
me of deliberately robbing the
safe-of stealing Eveiyn's ruby"
Jack"
"of course you don't like to
put IL into so many words, but
that is it-you think I'm q thief"
The young man eyed them fix
edly. And let me tell YOU" he
went on, slowly, his voice now
hard. II know perfectly we'll why
you think me a thief. Because
my father was one"
The faces of his listeners
blanched at the words.
Finally Colonel Winthrop man
aged to exclaim weakly, Then
you know-this-thi
This close-guarded secret of
the Winthrop family?" He forced
laugh, but the sound ended
chokingly. Mother told mel
mean. Evelyn's mother" The
words ended brokenly almost In a
sob.
"Jackl" Evelyn sprang to-
ward him, bursting into tears as
she chung to him.
1T was years ago." he went
on, duly, when his voice had
steadied. He had put his arms
around the girl, supporting her,
while his eyes were focused hard
upon some point in space. ut was
years ago. / had frightened her
by some prank of mine-worse
than usual, suppose. Then she
told me-everything."
Deep silence reigned In the
little room. A tear trickling down
upon the boys cheek caused him
to lower his face to the soft cloud
of Evelyn's hair as he held her
close to him.
When he looked up he had mas
tered his emotion, and his resent
ment slowly gathered heat again.
Evelyn felt his muscles tighten as
he drew away from her and de-
family faced Colonel Winthrop.
There's been a robbery in the
house, and IL points to me. At
first / denied taking the ruby.
Now that you have accused me, |
withdraw that denial. neither
deny nor confess. 1t is all being
searched out by a man who will
get the truth of 1t IL anyone can.
l shall do nothing"
He snatched up his coat from a
chair, jerked it on, and started
toward the door.
Jack" interposed Colonel
Winthrop. The boy turned.
You mean you will say moth
ing?"
81 mean exactly that. Poole is
handling this affair. Let him go
to the limit If he wants to-"
Colonel Winthrop leaped to
his feet. That's the very thing
I'm afraid he's going to dol"
Then let him. 1t won't be
your funeral IL he does" The
door shut behind the speaker with
a heavy jar.
And now what?" Colonel Win
throp despairingly confronted
Evelyn's fearful face.
IF it could be / and not Jack
that Mr.. Poole really suspects"
said Evelyn, with a feeble muster
of hopelessness.
Her words set Colonel Win
throp to thinking. Poole has got
to be side-traeked somehow" he
stated, emphatically. And as they
left the bungalow together his
brain was already busy with a
scheme.

this ominous remark he started
away, and then looked back at

her chin in her hands and her
eyes following him.
You might at least throw me
. Kiss" he shot back at her.
Evelyn's pensive expression
vanished on the instant. With
elbows prettily atilt. she put the
finger-tips of both hands to her
lips and sped the salutation to-
ward him with a merry laugh.
Thanks for what | can get"
murmured Archie.
Poole, coming around the cor
ner of the house. had been an in
voluntary witness to Evelyns gay
dismissal of her cousin.
Colonel Winthrop. in wait for a
favorable opportunity, had
promptly followed Jack to the
bungalow, where rhe latter had
gone to change his clothes after
his game of tennis.
May come I'm for a moment7"
he called through the closed door
of Jacks bedroom.
A hearty voice answered:
THAT you, Uncle7 Kick the door
down"
Colonel Winthrop entered less
violently.
I'm not exactly eostumed for
formal reception" said Jack
standing in the center of the
room In his underclothes, and
fitting cuff-links into shirt.
CHUCK anything you like on the
floor and sit down." he continued,
motioning toward the cluttered
chairs.
Colonel Winthrop meditated
the sturdy figure of the youth be-
fore him.
Il want to have a word or two
with you confidentially."
"Confide away. then"
Its about this disappearance
of the ruby" he began.

Colonel Winthrop flushed.

CABINET
HELD MEETING
BOYS CABINET OF Y. M. c. A.
HELD AN IMPORTANT SESSION
LAST EVENING AT ASSOCIATION
RUILoING-DIscUssED PLANS
FOR ENLARGEMENT.

The boys cabinet of the Y. M. c. A.
met in the committee room of the as
ISOLATION building last evening in reg
ular monthly session. The meeting
proved one of the best that has been
held and several important matters
were brought UP for discussion.
The first in Importance was the dis
cussion on the enlargement of the
boys rooms which seems necessary
because of the increased number of
boys using the social privileges and
the crowded condition Of the rooms at
times. The senior intermediate mem
bership brings more older boys in this
department and together with the in
creased membership makes it neces-
sary for more room. Suggestions were
made as to enlargement and these will
be brought before the boys work COM
mittee and board of directors.
Other matters that were brought up
for discussion were summer camps,
older boys camp, sanitary conditions
in the locker rooms n about the
building, and the social conditions in
the boys rooms. A folder will be is
sued in the near future in regard to
summer camp and summer activities.
Easter Sunday will be observed by
the boys of the Y. M. G. A. in their
Sunday afternoon meeting as a pro-
gram of music is being arranged that
will be a rare treat. The. best musical
talent in the city among the boys has
been secured for the program and
something of real interest is promised.
The high school class banquet clos
ing the basketball contest will be held
in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium at $3.50
p. M. on Wednesday evening of this
week. A fine program has been ar
ranged following the dinner, and a
lively time will surely be had by the
high school bunch.

CUTTING seed POTATOES

Potatoes selected in the field from
the highest yielding hills are best for
planting, but if bin selection is prac-
ticed, average sized tubers should be
chosen. Potatoes weighing eight ounc-
es or a half q pound each are to be
preferred. If hand cutting is resorted
to, the tuber should be cut lengthWise
in four equal parts. Experiments have
shown that two-ounce pieces give sat-
~isfactory results. Each piece will have
a portion of the seed end a por-
ton of the stem end. There is good
authority for the statement that the
seed end of the potato is more viabIe
and yields better than the stem end.
If the tuber is cut in the above nan
ner, the seed end will be represented
on eac.i Of the four pieces.
Seed potatoes should be treated for
scab. A good way of treating is by
making a solution Of corrosive subli-
mate, at the rate Of one ounce to
six gallons of water. First dissolve
the corrosive sublinlate in a little hot
water, as it does not dissolve well in
cold water. The corrosive sublimate
corrodes iron and tin ware, SO it
should be handled in wooden utensils.
1t is also very poisonous, so care must
be used to keen it away from stock
and children. Treat the potatoes be-
fore cutting, and let them remain in
the solution for an hour and a half.
