Needs a Dress Form

Some day if you have a dress form, please don't forget me. I do all the sew ing for myself and daughter, and often long for one. I should like to help the Corner in some way. All l can offer Is to do plain sewing. So. if you know of anyone who is too old or too ill to sew. I offer my services to her. l will have to take it home, because I take charge of my daughters baby, who is 16 months old. MRS. H. R.
 Your proffered sacrifice of time, con- venience and strength to the fullness of your desire to be of service to the sick and poor outweighs in value many dress forms. We have none in our gift at the present writing. l commend your petition to our members at large. Where is there dress form for this consecrated needle woman?

Should there be a truss on hand that would do for an elderly woman, I would appreciate your kindness in letting me know of it. One for the right side, about 2S or 30 inches around the waist. If you put this in the paper, I am willing to wait until I can get one. I need one badly. EMMA w.

Mook here, Shaugn, don't care
what happened, or what's llkely 70
happen; | amt goin' TO dress an 20
out now for YOU r any other guy on
earth! And what's more, We hil l,.ra
come to the conclusion that you st
been havin' bad dreams about tha'
wad, and | wanta tell you right heIe
that you've played the wrong, man
for a sucker when y u played me.
Me an Marine, an Baxter nave
been dom little trailin' on our own
accounts, an if this here propositioh
of yours don't pan out something
substantial mighty sudden, there $
going to be something doing down at
headquarters.
"You told Branton and the others
out there at Monterey that you was
in the station when Shannon went
through it from the Occidental, when
you know mighty well that II was
me who was there, an, that i didn
see him come through, cause IL
had seen him I'd have nailed NM
So if YOU know he did come through
it was because you was on the tram
with him, you got the wad away
from him-and if you ever got your
fingers onto that bunch OF money
you've got it now.
you'd better come across,
Shaughnessy, cause if you don't,
the rest of us are goin' to know why.
We're beginnin' to think that
Shadow Shannon wasn't in this
thing at all-and we're beginnin' to
g4ess purity near to who was. And
this handcuff business don't wash
clean, either. You'd better play
sIch things on the goats an not try
'em on a cop that's been poundin'
pavements for fourteen years. The
Inspector will be wantin' to ask you
a lot of questions tonight, Shaugh-
messy, if you don't see us first"
Hvlderness went inside of his fiat
and slammed the door after him. He
left Shaughnessy standing upon the
landing, and he could hear vile
epithet thrown back at him by his
side-pardner.
And Shaughnessy continued to
hurl profanity and interlarded epi-
thets behind him all the way to the
street, where he paused for a mo-
ment to gaze haggardly up anu
down the thoroughfare, moistening
his dried lips with his tongue, and
otherwise betraying extreme ner-
vous tension.
1t had been a bad night for
Shaughnessy, and he was fast get
ting into mood that was desperate.
Anyhow, I'll nail Faber, and see
what comes of it. And III make
Crewe talk, too, if have to kill him
to do it," he told himself as he
started away
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-13

For the man was Shaughnessy in
different clothing and without the
disguise-Shaughnessy returned to
take away those drawings and de
stroy them, and Shaughnessy's
thou, hit was that MoreauX had re-
turned, Oh had been hiding during
that first visit to the studio, and that
Jess WIS probably with him.
Inside the door, he stopped. A
glance as he passed it told him that
it had been jimmied. The broken
easel, the sketches and papers scat
tered over the floor amid the rest of
the confusion. and the fact that the
picture of himself was missing, next
impressed him.
Utter amazement was upon him
at what he saw, and he ran through
the studio toward the other rooms,
weapon in hand, as the elevator
bearing the civilian and the two
police officers arrived at that floor
and stopped.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-13

He waited for a reply, and when
none came, and when Moreaux did
not change his attitude of respectful
and half-amused attention, he went
on:
"That wasn't any accident, as you
pretended, getting Jess here to pose
as your model. That call you made
upon her, when you left your card
for her to show to me, was frame
up, pure and simple. You and Jess
are older acquaintance than that.
Where is she, | say? She came here
to you little before five o'clock last
night, and you knew she was com
ing, because she telephoned. When
you've answered me that question
I'll ask you some others thatll be
harder still. But | want that one
answered first. Where is she-right
now"

CHAPTER XVIII.
Faber's Finish.

Faber was out of bed the instant
the rap sounded against his door. But
he made not sound. He was fully
dressed, too, for he had thrown him
self upon the bed without removing
an article of his clothing. Rat, who
had been asleep on the floor, leaped 10
his feet, darted to the open window,
and was outside running down the
tire-escape before the second and
mOrO peremptory summons began.
Faber thought quickly between
those two raps at his door. Neither
burglars tools, nor spoils of burglary.
were in that room. Rat had gone
and he did not know that Rat had de-
parted so quickly that he had left his
rubber sneakers behind him. Rat had
not yet been thoroughly weaned from
the barefoot age, and had taken his
shoes off when he laid down.
"Who's there ?" Faber asked can
tiously.
."Shaughnessy-and yol open up
nightly quick"
Faber shot back two bolts. then
stepped backward to the bed and
seated himself upon the edge of if
with his right hand under the corner
of the pillow. There was a strange
light in his eyes, an none of the
fear that Shaughnessy had expected
to see. He spoke before Shaughnes-
sy's clustering announcement could
be made.

he concluded with indescribable inso-
lence.
Shaughnessy stood aghast and

Two figures emerged from. the shad-
ows in the corridor when Shaugh-
messy fed down the stairway. One
of them hung back and was dragged
alonG by the other, who chung to his
wrist.
"Ghosts don't get scared like that,

HOW TO OBTAIN BIG MONEY
 RAISING FOXES FOR MARKET

thousands of inquiries are being re rcived from enthusiasts all over North America. Last year Shubert's collection of one hundred and twen- ty-tlirec black and silver fox brought the highest prices ever known in Flu r pean markets. The nobility of Flu rope vied with each other in bidding at the sales to obtain these beautiful furs.
 Although there are thousands of dollars in it for the successful raiser Of black and silver foxes. very small number of those who attempt it suc- ceed to a practical extent. The reason for this lies in the fact that whoever engages in fox farming must be fitted for the business with very even temperament and an abundance of patience. The habits of the animals must bc studied carefully. They must close tn nature ns poasIblc. and they must lc left severely alone nt breed Mt lime.
