and himself. Is dead. and finds that Hill

him, knows Craven and also Blanche
Macnair. q former neighbor and play
mate When the daily papers come
aboard at Southampton Toye reads that
Craven has been murdered and calls
Cazalet's dream second sight. He thinks
of doing a little amateur detective work
on the case himself In the train to town
they discuss the murder, which was COM
mitted at Casalet's old home. Toye hears
from Cazalet that Scruton, who had been
Cazaiet's friend and the scapegoat for
Craven's dishonesty, has been released
from prison. Cazalet goes down the
river and meets Blanche. TOye also
comes to see her and tells Cazalet that
Scruton has been arrested, but as he
doesn't believe the old clerk is guilty he
1s going to ferret out the murderer
Cazalet and Blanche go to Cazalet's old
home and meet Mr.. Drinkwater of Scot
land Yard. Eazalet goes with Drinkwa-
ter TO the library where the murder was
committed, shows him secret passage
ne knew as q boy, and leads the way
through It. In town Toye, talking with
Cazaiet about the murder, suggests finger
prints on the weapon found in the secret
passage as means of trapping the mur-
derer and succeeds in securing a print of

Little aristocrats of the apron tribe
make their appearance at holiday time
each year, always sure of welcome
and never failing to find many admir-
ers. 1t lies without their province to
be anything but danny and becoming,
with perhaps little usefulness thrown
In by way of good measure. But use
fulness is really matter of secondary
Importance, the main thing being the
charm that lies in the refinement of
these frivolous and pretty furbelows.
Serving aprons and sewing aprons
are made Of fine cotton goods-organ-
dies. swiss, embroidery, batiste and
lawns - with laces and embroidery
used for ornamentation and ribbons
employed for finishing. They are
much elaborated and bedecked, and
they are small and gracefully shaped
The materials and trimmings used
are washable and the aprons last a
long time. They are very easily made,
and among the least expensive of
really worthwhile holiday gifts.
Allover embroideries and dotted
swiss are chosen for the majority of
the aprons displayed for the holidays
this year. Occasionally pretty figured
lawns appear among them. or plain
batiste with lace insertions let in in
various designs and having lace frill
about the edge. They are set on to a
narrow band of sheer material, and
this is finished with ends for tying in
bowsat the back. A belt may be
made Of wide beading. and satin rib

Toye felt one himself as he picked
his way through st. James square.
II it had not been just after lunch, he
would have gone straight and had a
cocktail, for of course he knew the
only place for them. What he did was
to slue round out of the square, and
to obtain for the asking, at another
old haunt, on Cockspur street, the
latest little timetable of continental
trains. This he carried, not on foot
but in taxi, to the Savoy Hotel,
where it kept him busy in his own
room for the best part of another hour.
But by that time Hilton Toye looked
more than an hour older than on sit
ting down at his writing-table with
pencil, paper and the little book of
trains; he looked ilorrified, he looked
distressed, and yet he looked crafty,
determined and immensely alive. He
proceeded, however, to take some Of
the life out Of himself, and to add still
more to his apparent age, by repair
ing for more inward light to Turk
ish bath.
Now the only Turkish bath, accord
ing to Hilton Toye's somewhat exclus-
i've code, was not even a hundred
yards from Cazalet's hotel; and there

Cazalet was not in: his friend would
wait, and in fact waited over an hour
In the little lounge. An evening paper
was offered to him; he took it listless-
ly, scarcely looked at it at first, then
tore it in his anxiety to find something
he had quite forgotten--from the
newspaper end. But he was waiting
as stoically as before when Cazalet
arrived in tremendous spirits.
Stop and dine!" he cried out at
once.

No, thank you." said Toye, with
the decisive courtesy Of a total alb

Cazaiet. His exuberant geniality had
been dashed very visibly for the mo-

were reasserting themselves; indeed,
a cynic with an ear might have caught
the note of sudden consolation in the
question that Cazalet asked so briskly.

Toye, watching the effect of his
words.
''But you've Just come back from
there!" Cazalet looked no worse than
puzzled

Deafness canrot ee Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

To Keep Milk From CurdIino.

An important particular in which
cows milk differs from mothers milk
for feeding infants is that the former
is likely to curdle. Some children fed
on cows milk are apt to suffer from
the formation of large, tough curds. If
citrate of soda is added to milk in the
proportion of half dram of soda to
a pint of milk no curds will be formed.
Given in this proportion, citrate Of
soda is said to be entirely harmless
and is often found very useful in feed
ing infants. The addition of barley
water or any other thin cereal cruel
has much the same effect

GRASpIhG At The SHADOW

No man-especially IL he is mar.
iried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
OF mayor; is not the employment Of
the dairyman far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection OF books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house? !?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
BE il said to the credit of woman
hood that ii is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants TO cast the ballot: it is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; 1t is not
the daughter who hopes TO reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. II
is, as a rule, the woman who des ises
her home, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades
and smashes windows.

INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment OF the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on new power-that is the inspira-
tion of the soil You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence OF
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection OF nature and to sweet
en- your life with it's fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor OF agricul-
ture where nature is plrading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let US pause and take a retro
spective view How many Of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want Of a
market and as result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
i"Dixie" and boast Of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
It is also we'll to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.
