taking OF the receiver, but not an
swering. Instead. she hung up and
wedged the telephone bell with a
piece of paper so that it would not
ring at all.
She was about to move away from
the desk when Elaine entered the Ii
brary
Didn't hear the telephone bell
ring?" she asked.
Inez was quick. YES" she replied,
my former mistress telephoned that
she is sending my trunk today"
ooh, very well,'' smiled Elaine, pass
ing on through the library with an
encouraging nod to the girl.
Inez had killed two birds with one
stone. Not only had she disarmed
suspicion about the interrupted call,
but she had laid the foundation for
the delivery of a trunk which at that
moment she knew WI and Long Sin
were preparing and packing.
It was large trunk, and in it the
two willy Cinnamon were packing a
chair, as well as the phosphorus ma
chine.
"Once Mistress Inez induces Elaine
to sit in this chair" observed WI, tap
ping it significantly as he closed the
trunk, "half our work is completed"
Uptown Inez, always on guard, was
watching for the safe arrival of the
trunk, when she saw a messenger boy
coming up the steps Of the house.
Perhaps, it flashed over her, it was
some message from Kennedy. She
must get it, whatever it was.
Without hesitating a moment she
slipped back into the library while the
boy was still at the door and wrote
| a note of her own at the desk. She
| had thought out beforehand just what
plan she was to adopt and the note
read:
Dear Miss Dodge:
The ladies of the First Baptist
| church will send a collector for our
| rummage sale this afternoon. We
| thank you for whatever you can give
| him. Yours truly,
Miss Ella Burns,
Secretary, Woman's Guild.
Inez read over the note she had
written herself as the messenger boy
| continued ringing the bell impatiently.
| Then she hurried into the hall to open
| the door.
| The boy came in and Inez took the
note he had brought, signing Elaine's
name for it in his book She had
acted not a moment too soon, for
Elaine had heard the bell and was
now coming downstairs herself.
"Was it anything for me, Inez?" she
asked,
Inez deity palmed the letter and
substituted the note she had written.

Elaine. down in the library, that she
had done nothing yet about the letter
from the Women's Guild.
Il wonder what there is upstairs
that l can give Them" she thought,
as she re-read the letter. 81 think
I'll see."
She started up, just as Inez was
leaving.
The adventures in the attic heard
Elaine coming and quickly slipped be-
hind door, letting Elaine pass her,
without being seen.
In the attic Elaine started to take
down and examine several dresses for
the rummage sale, laying them aside
one by one.
An attic is always place that calls
up memories of the past, and Elaine
soon began to think of things that
| were suggested by one after another
of the discarded dresses. Besides,
some of them were scarcely worth
sending, anyway. She sat down, alb
sently, in the chair to think it over
Suddenly secret spring released
set of bands that automatically and
swiftly clamped over Elaine's arms
and about her body and neck, holding
her in grip Of steel. At the same
time vapor bulb in the back of the
chair shot out it's smothering fumes,
rendering her unconscious.
Elaine was caught in a trap.

attic door just a trife. Then her
| slender hand reached in and took the
key from the inside, shut the door and
locked it from the outside.
Stealthily Inez crept downstairs
from the attic and into Elaine's room.
There, taking care that neither Marie
nor Aunt Josephine was about, she
opened the closet and took out the
dress, coat and hat which Elaine had
worn when she was kidnapped by WI
| and stuffed them into suitcase. Inez
closed the suitcase quickly, threw on
her own hat and coat and left the
house unobserved.
Half an hour later she entered the
! opium joint on Mott street.
There were both WI and Long Sin
! carefully examining blonde wig made
up as closely as possible to resemble
the golden masses that were the
crown of Elaine's beauty. Four or

about at respectful distance.

being prepared for Kennedy. The
note of warning regarding Elaine was
merely first step in the entangle-
ment.
We were in the laboratory and
Craig was at work testing some chem
icals, about to pour liquid from a
beaker into a test tube. He paused,
posing both in his hands, listening.
Outside we could hear what sounded
like scratching at the door.
"Be quiet just minute, Walter,
whispered Craig, moving on tiptoe
toward the door.
The fact was that young China
man had crept up cautiously and was
crouching there in a position like
that of runner about to start in a
race. Actually he was merely wait
ing for Kennedy to open the door,
but it looked as though he were listen
ing.
AS Craig threw open the door he
started off like racer, apparently
dropping a piece of paper in his hurry.
T darted out after him, w4ile Craig
stopped and picfed up the paper, then
stood gazing alter US.
Down the hall the young Chinaman
dashed until he ccme to the back en-
trance to the laboratory. There he
turned and crouched again in the
darkness.
A moment later 1 came after him.
AS. 1 passed the door he seemed to
rise up Unexpectedly and I stumbled
headlong over him, almost stunned
as I hit the floor. He rose again
and eriss-crossed around the corner
of the building before I could pick my
self up. 1t was of no use now to
chase him further. and lmped back
into the laboratory.
"He got away in spite OF me-"
managed to b!urt out as rejoined
Kennedy IN thu hall. Whats THAT?

wrist pressing on the rope.
His heart fairly leaped. It worked!
The cuff link which he had devised
as cigarette lighter as joke on me
was burning the rope.
Then he pulled at the weakened
ropes as he had before in his futile
struggles.
They broke.
Just on the other side of the door he
could hear the low buzz of the argu-
ment as Long Sin urged WI to allow
him to kill Kennedy.
Very we'll, them" WI at last
agreed, looking at his watch and nod
ding to Long Sin and the others who
sprang forward.
Free from his bonds, Kennedy had
been standing second wondering
how to escape from the room Just

Eyes, ma'am," she replied, handing
Elaine the faxed note.
Elaine read it. 81 didn't know about
the rummage sale before" she COM
mented, as She went into the library,
''but I guess I'll have to give them
something"
She sat down for moment to look
over new fashion magazine. Out
side in the hallway Inez was reading
the note which the messenger boy
had brought, with the warning post
script written by Kennedy under
meath. She knew, as she destroyed
it, that it was only part of Wu's
subtle plan to alarm Kennedy and
start him on false scent,
It was not many minutes later that
the bell rang again, and this time
Jennings answered the door, disclos-
ing the expressman with a heavy
trunk.

exclaimed. May have it taken up to

Of trunks, some old furniture and a
great many old dresses hanging up.
AS they set it down she signed the
receipt for it, and the expressmen
dumped downstairs.
For a moment she leaned over the
railing and looked after them to make
sure that she was alone, then hastily
locked the door and ran back to the
trunk to unlock it.
First she took out the chair which
WI had devised and placed it near the
clothes hanging up. Next she re-
n we'd the phosphorus mechanism
and placed it in the shadow back
of the chair, piling up some excelsior
and other dry stuff over and around it.

WHAT A MAN READS.
1t Is Big Factor In Determining His
Course of Life.

A certain low form Of aquatic ami
NAL life anchors itself to a rock and
feeds on whatever the current brings.
The average man feeds his mind in
much the same way. He falls into
line for current amusements. He reads
only current literature. He listens to
what happens to go by. He makes but
little systematic attempt to shut out
the unfit or to put himself in line for
the fit.
The result is defective grade of hui
man life that rarely eleyates society
and often degrades it. If man would
make the most Of himself, and that Is
manifestly the supreme purpose for
which he was put into the world, it In
worth his while to do his daily work
where uncleah things, mental and phys
deal, are not made common.
1t makes a good deal of difference In
the worth of the man today as to
whether his reading last night was
Hamlet" and isaiah" or 1.-THE Other
Mans Wife," whether he went to the
art institute or the burlesque show.
An ancient teacher of well balanced
mind gave this direction to his disci-
pies as to the topics to be selected for
deliberate thought:

things are true. whatsoever things are

Sunlight and Vegetation.

The early rays Of the sun exercise
a more powerful effect In promoting
rapid vegetation than the suns light
during the later hours of the day. The
active little chlorophyll grains work
faster and better In celebrating food
for the plant under the action of the
blue and yellow rays of the early
morning than under the later violet
and blue rays. Practical gardeners
should make use of this fact by grow
ing early produce as far as possible in
a position where the plants will get
the full benefit of the morning SUM-

HAMS OF WEsTPHALIA.
Processes by Which They Are Cured
and Favored.

The famous Westphalian hams
which are eaten without cooking, are
cured by an elaborate process that has
been worked out patiently and skill.
fully by generations of expert work
men. A writer in the New York Sun
thus describes the process:
After being rubbed thoroughly with
a solution in which there are 100
pounds of salt to one pound of salt.
peter, the hams are placed on cement
floors, or In vats, and thickly strewn
with salt. They lie under salt for two
weeks and then pass to vat that con-
tains % per cent solution of brine.
They remain in that solution for eight
cen days. Every day they are shift
ed in the vat; the hams on the bottom
are brought to the top, and vice versa.
At the end of the eighteen days the
hams are packed, one upon another,
in a cool, dry cellar, where they re-
main for four weeks, in order to ripen
that is, to take on color and become
tender. Then the salt is washed off
with stiff brush dipped in lukewarm
water, and the hams are put to soak
for twelve hours in fresh water. After
that they are ready for the smoke
house.
The smokehouses are two or three
stories high. with holes bored In the
flooring. The fires are kindled on the
ground floor. and the meat is hung ON
the second and third floors. The fires
are made entirely Of beech wood, but
the workmen constantly throw juniper
berries and juniper twigs on the en-
bers. The fire burns brightly. 1t is
checked with beech wood sawdust
whenever it burns too briskly.
The smoking continues for about
eight days. Under the ancient curing
however, the hams were Of
ten kept in the smoke rooms for six
weeks, and it is by this latter method
that the best hams are still made by
the country folk of Westphalia.
