o'clock in the evening until past

Ashley had come to Rockton at
once. A slow fever had set In. Before
Brit could carry out his plans to bring
the separated wife and husband to-
gether, the boy Harry mysteriously
disappeared.
Harry slept in the room adjoining
that of his father at the hotel. In
the morning he was found missing He
had apparently been carried down the
fire escape of an inner court. The
only clew was the discovery that .

IL can never go to Lucia unless he
is with me- said Ashley.
Four hours later Brit was resting
nnder a tree near the beach OF lit
tie lake about ten miles from Rock
ton. He had followed the clew OF the
midnight wagon and had lost the trail.
As he now sat thinking over the az
fair he confessed to himself that the

about was slow in coming to him.

The speaker just then noticed lit

Then boyish cries attracted his at

into the water, grabbed it, exploded

wreck of his trophy
Birt watched the crowd gather Gu

off for it.

HOW BRlAR PIPES ARE MADE
Average Smoker Not Aware of the
i, Work Involved in Manufacture
! Of His Pet.

Briar root pipes have been in con-
tinuous use in this country for many
years, but the general public, even the
pipe smokers, have little idea Of how
they are made or of the time and at
tention necessary in their manufac-
ture
The briar which furnishes the root
from which the pipes are made is the
shrub called the white heath, or heath
er. and is found chiefly in the south of
Italy. on the island of Corsica and in
Algeria The shrub often grows to
large size, although only the roots are
used in the pipe-making industry
After the roots have been cleaned
of the earth which clings to them
they are sawed into blocks of various
dimensions, placed in watts and al
lowed to simmer for twelve hours
which brings out the rich brown color
for which the finest pipes are priced
Following this boiling process the
blocks are steam dried for two weeks
and then are sent to the factory
where they are converted into pipes.
The blocks are sorted according 10
size by experts, are placed on shelves
and kept at an even temperature 1or
ten DAYS. when they are drled anu
then are sent to the machines, where
tho actual manufacture begins. After
the blocks have been trimmed to the
nroner size the upper part of the
howl is turned, then the lower part
and stem, and then they are sana.
nanered The finishing OF the po"iS
then takes place.
