mount avenue police station.
The man and his wife escaped by climb
ing from the front windows of the house
and crawling along the coping beneath
the windows to awning poles and then
sliding to the pavement, while the three
young girls were rescued by their brother
and Policeman Kammerle, by means of
ladder raised by the latter to a window
at the rear of the building.

MADE IN AMERICA"
And 80 Per cent. of Big Display Made
in PHILADELPHIA.

There's an old saying that 1t pays to
advertise, and made-in-America products
are getting plenty OF advertising nova
days. Merchandise from all over the
United States is represented in the vast
display at the wholesale house OF Young,
smyth. Field Co., 1915 Arch street,
There are ribbons of all makes. colors
and qualities from Philadelphia, woolens
from New England, hosiery from the
west, and every article of mems and
Fomen's apparel that you can imagine.
The most interesting part OF the dis
play is the fact that. while all the States
are well represented at the opening, at
least 30 per cent OF the whole stock is
made right here in Philadelphia" said
William Kendle, the superintendent. I'VE

CHAPTER w.
BREAKFAST WITH BEATRICE.
The girl, awakened, perhaps, by the
passlng of some heavy cart along the
street below, or by the touch Of the sum
beam which lay across her pillow, first
opened her eyes and then, after a pre-
ImInary stare around. sat UP In bed.
The events Of the previous night slowly
hhaped themselves In her mind She
remembered everything UP to the COM
mencement OF that drive in the taxicab.
Sometime after that she must have
tainted. And now-what had become of
herr Where was she?
she looked around her In ever-lncreas-
jng surprise. Certainly 1t was the
strangeyt room she had ever been in.
THE floor was dusty and innocent of any
CARPET; the window was bare and uncur-
tanned. The walls were unpapered, but
covered here and there with strange
looking plans, one of them taking up
nearly the whole side of the room-a very
rough piece of work with little dabs OF
blue paint here and there, and shadings
and diagrams which were absolutely un-
Ineligible. She herself was lying upon
q battered iron bedstead, and she was
wearing very coarse nightdress. Her
own clothes we're folded up and lay upon
a piece of brown paper on the floor by
the side of the bed. To all appearance,
the room was entirely unfurnlshed, ex-
cept that in the middle of 1t was
hideous papler mache screen.
After her first bewildered inspection of
her surroundings, 1t was upon this screen
that her attention was naturally directed.
Obviously 1t must be there to conceal
something. Very carefully she leaned
out of bed until she was able to see
around the corner of II. Then her heart
gave little jump and she was only just
able to stif1e an exclamation of fear.
Some one was sitting therc-a man-sit-
ting on battered cane chair, bending
over a roll of papers which were stretched
upon rude zeal table. She felt her
checks grow hot 1t must be Tavernake!
Where had he brought her? What did
his presence in the room mean?
The bed creaked heavily as she regained
her former position, A voice came to her
from behind the screen. She knew It at
once. 1t was Tavernake's.
YES" she answered, "yes. am awake.
Is that Mr.. Tavenake? Where am 7,
pease?"
"Fl-st of all, are you better?" he in
nulred.
am better" she assured him, sitting
up In bed and pulling the clothes to her
chin. II am quite well now. Tell me at
once where I am and what you are doing
over there
There is nothing to be terrified about"
Tavernake answered. ITO all effects and
purposes. am In another room. When

 FAIRBANKS ON TRIP

FAIRBANKS, Jan. 25.-To look af- Ger the interests of the bureau of fish, cries. W. P. Hemenway, a fur warden, arrived In Fairbanks. There are a number of matters pertaining to his department under investigation now, and he expects to make number of trips out from Fairbanks in the near future, says the Times.
 Among the matters which the fur warden has under investigation are some charges that have been made against trappers in somo of the remote districts. Air. Hemeway says that he has received some complaints that the trappers are becoming fur.bearing ani- mals.
 That the pradce of trapping animals with poison Is dying out is vouched for by the fur warden. This is due principally to the fact that trappers are more anxious to catch live foxes and other animals, and also because the poisoning method Is responsible ottentimes for the death of valuable dogs.
