Electric Bait for Niqht FISHING.

Having noticed that certain game
fish, particularly the bass and mus
kellunge, often contain glowworms
and other phosphorescent insects, an
inventor has devised unique cleo
trically illuminated bait for either
deep-water trolling or night fishing
The bait is made of celluloid, in the
form of a minnow, and containing a
miniature electric lamp which is sup
piled with current through fine cop
per wires carried along The fish line.
The light may be flashed on or of
by means of a pushbutton, making
the bait resemble a glow7orm if de-
sired.

Gently conducted by well known

Sterling of Houston, Tex, the most
perfectly formed American woman.
Miss Sterling, who is 10 years old, is
five feet six inches tall and weighs
one hundrde and thirty pounds when
ready for the bath. Her bust and
hips equally measure thirty-eight
inches, her waist twentysiX inches.
her neck thirteen inches and her. calf,
fourteen inches.
The statue of the Venus de Medici,
in the past regarded as the ideal type
of wOmanly figure, is five feet three
inches in height, and depicts a type
that might weigh nearly as much as
Miss Sterling, but would certainly be
far less strong and active. Her chest
measures over four inches less than
Miss Sterling's. although her hips
measure only one and one-haf inches
less. The judges in awarding the hon
or to Miss Sterling maintained that if
the Venus de Milo or Medici does not

as strong as she is symmetrical, as her
balancing and gymnastic work have
put the strength of an athlete into her
muscles.

to pause and peer out into the moon
light that flooded the back Of his
house, he might have seen the figures
of two stealthy crooks crouching in
the half shadows of one of the cellar
windows, one crook. at least, masked.
The masked crook held in his hands
carefully the ends of two wires at
tached to an electric feed, and, sending
his pal to keep watch outside, he en-
tered the cellar of the Dodge house
through a window, whose pane they
had carefully removed. AS he came
through the window he dragged the
wires with him, and, after a moments
accommodating, attached them to the
furnace pipe of the old-fashioned hot
air heater, where the pipe ran up
through the floor to the library above.
The other wire was quickly attached
to the telephone where it's wires en-
tered.

Downstairs the masked master Grim

to the wires he had installed, waiting.
Just then could be heard the tinkle
of Dodge's telephone, and the old man
rose to answer it. AS he did so he
placed his foot on the iron register,
his hand taking the telephone and the
receiver. At that instant came a pow
erful electric flash. Dodge sank on the
floor, clutching the instrument, cleo
trOcuted.
A moment later the criminal slid

Lmpy had long since reached tho
point of saturation and lurching forth
from his new found cronies he sought
other fields of excitement. Likewise
did the newcomer, who bore a strange
resemblance to the lookout who had
been stationed outside at the Dodge
house a scant half hour before.
What happened later was only q
matter of SECONDHAND waiting until
the hated snitch-for gangdom hates
the informer worse than anything else
dead or alive-had turned sufficient
ly dark and deserted corner.
A muf1ed thud, a stifled groan fol-
lowed as a heavy section Of lead pipe
wrapped in newspaper descended on
the Grass skull of Limpy.
It was the vengeance of the Clutch
ing Hand-swift, sure, remorseless.
And yet it had not been a night OF
complete success for the master Grim
inal, as anyone might have seen who
could have followed his sinuous route
to a place of greater safety. Unable
to wait longer, he pulled the papers
he had taken from the safe from his
pocket. His chagrin at finding most
of them to be blank found only one
expression Of foiled fury-that men
acing clutching hand-the real one!
Kennedy had turned from his futile
examination for marks on the tele-
phone. There stood the safe, a moder-
ate sized strong box, but Of a modern
type. He tried the door. 1t was locked.
There was not mark on it. The COM
bination had not been tempered with.
Nor had there been any attempt to
soup" the safe.
With a quick motion he felt in his
pocket as if looking for gloves. Find
ing none, he glanced about and seized
two pieces of paper from the desk.
