Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-05

Stanley HRrgreave, millionaire, after n
miraculous escape from the den of the
gang of brilliant thieves known as the
Black Hundred, lives the life of a re-
eluse for eighteen years. Hargreave ac-
eidentaIIy meets Braine, leader of the
Black Hundred. Knowing Braine will
try to get him, he escapes from his own
home by n balloon. Before escaping he
writes n letter to the girls school where
eighteen years before he mysteriOusly
left on the doorstep his baby daughter.
Florence Gray. That day Hargreave
also draws 100000 from the bank, but
it is reported that this dropped into the
sea when the balloon he escaped in was
punctured.
Florence arrives from the girls school.
Countess Olga, Braine's companion, Wis
it's her and claims her as n relative. Two
bogus detectives call, but their plot is
folIed by Norton, n newspaper man.
By bribing the captain of the Orient,
Norton lays n trap for Braine and his
gang. Countess Olga also visits the ORR
ents captain, and she easily falls into
the reporters snare. The plan proves
abOrtive through Braine's good luck and
only hireIings fall into the hands Of the
police.
After failing in their first attempt, the
Black Hundred trap Florence. They ask
her for money, but she escapes, again
folding them.
Norton and the countess call on Flor
ence the next day, once more safe at
home. The visitors having gone, Jones
removes n section of flooring and from
q cavity takes n box. Pursued by menu
bers of the Black Hundred, he rushes to
tho water front and succeeds in drop
ping the box into the sea.

questions I cannot answer any. I dare not"
"But if should command, upon the pain
of dismissal?" coldly.
"Ah, Miss Florence" and Jones tapped his
pocket, "you forget that you cannot dismiss

am sorry that you have made me recall this
fact to you"
Flo1e began to cry softly.

the law that he had laid down for himself.

are all a little depressed by it. am sorry"
20, I realize, Jones, that all this uncnding

back. Only, 1t does just seem as if should

same with me. We have to wait for them to

Get me anything you please. But I'd feel
better with little sunshine"
That's universal" replied Jones, going into
the hall for his hat.
Had the telephone rung again at that mo-
ment it is quite probable that the day would
have come TO a close as the day before had,
monotonously. But the ring came FIVE min
utes after Jones had left the house.

"Yes"

young women stepped into the taxicab and

at the maid who. he realized, was virtually
helpless, but at his own negligence.

CHAPTER XIV.
ANOTHER TRAP SET.
7 F the truth is to be told Jones was as
deeply chagrined over the outcome Of the
counterfeit deal as was Braine. They had
both failed signally to reach the goal
sought. But this time the organization had
broken even with Jones, and this fact dis
turbed the butler. II might signify that the
turning point had been reached, and that in
the future the good luck might swing over to
the side of the Black Hundred. Jones re-
doubled his cautions, reiterated his warnings,
and slept less than ever Indeed, as he went
pver the ground he conceded a point to the
Black Hundred. He would no longer be able
10 keep tabs on the organization. They had
deserted their former quarters absolutely. The
agent of whom they had leased the building
knew nothing except that he would have to
repair the place. The rent had been paid
year in advance, as it has been these last eight
years. He had dealt through an attorney who
knew no more of his clients than the agent
So 1t win be seen that Jones had in reality
received q check.
More than all this, 1t would give his enc
mics renewed confidence; and this was a
deeper menace than he cared to face. But he
went about his affairs as usual, giving no hint
to any one of the mental turmoil which had
possession of him.
It Is needless to state that Norton did not
scoop his rivals on the counterfeit story. But
be set to work exploring the cellar of the
gutted building, and in one corner he found a
battered die. He turned this over to the
secret service men, There was one man he
wanted to fnd-Vroon. This man, could he
find him, should be made to lead him, Norton,
to the new stronghold. He saw the futility OF
trying to trap Braine by shadowing him. He
desired Braine to believe that his escape from
the freighter had been bit of wild luck and
not a preconceived plan. Brafne was out Of
reach for the present, SO he began the search
70! the man Vroon. He haunted the water
front saloons for a week without success.
He did not know that it was the policy of
the Black Hundred to lay low for a month
after q raid Of such serious character. So
the Hargreave menage had thirty days of
peace always watched, however. For Braine
never relaxed his vigilance in that part of the
game. He did not care to lose sight OF Jones,
whom he was positive was ready for fight if
the slightest opportunity offered itself
Norton went back to the primrose paths of
love and sometimes he would forget all about
summer days went by, with the lilacs and the
roses empowering the Hargreave home. But
Norton took note of the fact that Florence

USE FOR OLD LACE COLLARS
Easy Manner by Which They May Be
Adapted to Present Styles With
Little Rearranaement.

| made very happy discovery the
other day that | want to pass on /
had two lovely old lace collars-sent
to me from abroad-that I so much
wanted to use on a black charmeuse
and a soft blue crepe, but as they
(the collars) were the oId-fashioned
circular f1at-lying'' kind I at first
thought would not use them. Then /
tried wiring one of them into Medici
collar and the result was wonderful
The long ends of the collar roll over
most gracefully at the open throat
and fit the curve of the neck perfectly
It is only necessary to wire at the two
back corners and | used fine white
lace wire for this, running it in and
out through the meshes of the lace
SO that it is not at all noticeable One
collar lad quite long point in the
back. This | turned down on the
outside Of the collar, making the back
of the collar prettier than ever. Now
l expect to convert old batiste and
chiffonette embroidered ones into the
same Medici collars Their age only
gives them creamier tint.-Exchang

the notches Of equal size. Make the

the chip will turn easily and drive the

Hold the pinwheel ii the left hand
as shown in Fig. Z, to operate it, and
with coin in the right hand rub Wig
orously along the notches. This will
make the stick vibrate and the vibra-
tions will cause the chip to spin
around. The direction in which the
pinwheel revolves may be determined
by the positions of the first and Sec
ond fingers Of the right hand. To
make it spin from left to right allow
the first finger to rub along the upper
edge of the notches; to make it re-
verse, press the second finger against
the lower edge of the notches. The
positions of the fingers can be
changed without attracting the atten-

Not at all Costly, and Easy to Pre-.
pare-BeautifuI Designs Possible
if the Proper Materials Are
Employed.

1t is very easy to secure most
charming effect by the formation Of a
chemical garden. The best kind OF
receptacle is a glass vessel of sonxe
kind or other, and, on the whole, there
is nothing better for the purpose than
a globe such as is commonly en-
ployed for goldfish
All that need be purchased are a
couple of ornces of sulphate of cop
per, a few Pieces of aluminium, hand
full of irsn nails and finally can of
water ftass." This latter substance
Is, of Course, extensively used for
preserving eggs.
The first step Is to arrange an inch
or so of sand in the bottom of the
globe. Then place the sulphate of
copper, the aluminium and the iron
nails on the layer. The different min
erals should be well mixed up togeth-
er.
A solution of the water glass should
now be prepared, taking one part of
this material to three parts of plain
water. Mix well by means of continu-
Gus stirring with a stick. The next
thing to do is to pour the solution of
water glass over the minerals; the
actual quantity Of the liquid employed
will depend upon the size of the glass
vessel, but it may be mentioned that
in depth the solution should not be
less than four inches
The globe is now placed aside where
1t will not be disturbed for a week.
At the end of this time it will be seen
that most beautiful growth, in al
most all conceivable colors, has start
ed up from the minerals This growth
OF course, represents the silicates of
the various substances. Most people
will be astonished at the beautiful eff
feet which is secured.
The final step consists in clearing
away the water glass This must be
carried out with great care, as many
Of the growths are of a fragile de-
scription. Probably the best plan is
to take the globe to a faucet and very
gently run water into the vessel until
the contents look quite clear
Naturally after this has been done
the growths will appear to even finer
advantage than they did when first of
all observed. The chemical garden
will now last for a long while if it is
not disturbed by frequent moving
about.

the sides exactly double what it was.
Cut down the box cover to fit between
the box bottom and sides A and B, to
form a floor for the extended portion,
and fasten this piece of cardboard in
place with strips of cloth Tapped and
glued over the edges.
A center partition divides the house
into two rooms, and this should be
cut from single piece Of cardboard
if you can get piece large enough;
otherwise, fasten two pieces side by
side with strips glued across to stiffen
them. Fig shows how a doorway
should be cut through the center of
this partition. If your hat box is
made like the one shown in the Illus
