"Outside-a raid, Run! He's told

Already we could hear the ham
mers and axes of the police whom
Kennedy had called upon before, as
they battered at this outside door.
At that door moment before the
lookout suddenly had given startled
stare and a suppressed cry. Glancing
down the street he had seen a police
patrol in which were score or more
of the strong-arm squad. They had
jumped out, some carrying sledge-
hammers, others axes.
Almost before he could cry out and
retreat to give a warning they had
reached the door and the first re-
sounding blows had been struck.
The lookout quickly had fled and
drawn the bolts of, a strong inner
door. and the police began battering
that impediment

crumble under the intense heat.
Meanwhile the police were having
great difficulty with the steel bolt
studded door Still it was yielding a
bit.
Hurry" shouted Clutching Hand
to LeCroix.
Kennedy had voluntarily placed him
self in front of me in the ell. Carefully.
to avoid the ray, he took the asbestos
platinum shield from his pocket and
slid it forward as best ne could over
the wall to the spot where the ray
struck.

But so powerful was 1t that even
that part of the ray which was defect
ed could be seen to strike the ceiling
in the corner, which was of wood. In
stantly, before Kennedy could even
move the shield. the wood burst into
flames.
Above us now smoke was pouring
into the room where the DETECTED ray
struck the floor and flames broke out.

The other crooks backed away and

While the flames leaped up, the
crooks closed the last door into the

The accompanying illustrations
show how the top of a peach tree may
often be removed so as to proIong the
usefulness of the tree for several
years. If a peach tree is neglected as
to pruning during its early years and
the branches are allowed to become
long and slender; If, as it attains con-
siderable age, the bearing wood, in
spite of the pruning which it has re-
ceived, has grown out of convenient
reach in harvesting; or if for other
reasons it becomes desirable to re-
new the top of a tree, it is usually
entirely practicable to do so, provided
the trunk and main limbs are sound
and healthy.
Fig. 1 shows an eight-year-old peach
tree which has become rather "leggy."
The annual growth for several seasons
has nearly al been made near the
extremities of the limbs. Very little
new wood has grown in the interior
of the tree.
The same tree was severely headed
in, or "deheaded," with a view to de-
veloping a new top, and Fig. ; is a Sec

Healthy Rahv Smiles

An interesting mental process with
physical manifestation which is founc
in every healthy baby is smiling. II
is a remarkably carly one, too, and 1
child of a month old will often show
distinctly pleased smile when its
little face is patted or it is tickled
At first the smile spreads very slowly
over the tiny features, then, as time
passes, flashes up on the face end dies
away again with equal celerity, and by
the time the first three months are
past is accompanied often enough by
little chuckles of glee.
But laughter comes later, often
much later, and many children never
really laugh until they are year old,
or even more. It is, indeed, very rare
to hear laughter before the, first six
months are accomplished, and when it
is heard 1t should be regarded as a
symptom of unusual intelligence, may
be gratifying to a mothers pride, but
most certainly not to be excited or
provoked.
