He looked cautiously into the room.
Apparently there was nothing.
1t had been about the middle of the
morning that an express wagon had
pulled up sharply before our apart

of the expresJmen, descending with

our door, still grumbling. and they
placed the heavy cabinet in the living
room.

tested Jens, signing nevertheless.
Scarcely had the sound of their
footballs died away in the outside hall
way when the door of the cabinet
slowly opened and masked face pro-
truded, gazing about the room.
1t was the Clutching Handl
From the cabinet he took a large
package wrapped in newspapers. AS
he held it, looking keenly about, his
eye rested on Elaine's picture. A mo-
ment he looked at it, then quickly at
the fireplace opposite.
An idea seemed to occur to him.
He took the package to the fireplace,
removed the screen and laid the pack
age over the andirons with one end
pointing out into the room.
Next he took from the cabinet a
couple of storage batteries and a coil
of wire. Deity and quickly he fixed
them on the package.
Meanwhile, before an alleyway
across the street and further down
the long block the express wagon had
stopped.
Having completed fixing the bat
teries and wires, Clutching Hand ran
the wires along the molding on the
wall overhead, from the fireplace un-
til he was directly over Elaine's pic
ture. Skillfully he managed to fix the
wires, using them in place Of the pic

She turned up the lights and went
over to the desk for a book for which
Elaine had evidently sent her. She
paused and appeared to be listening.
Then she went to the door.
"Jennings!" she beckoned.

Jennings did listen. Sure enough,

safe. Marie put out her hand to it and
started back

put his hand on it and quickly drew it
away, leaving a mark on the damp

gasped

pointed mutely at the new safe. Elaine

"HoMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
Attachment to First Home Is Much
the Same as Is Evidenced
~. In Humanity.

-
The habit of birds in migrating
South when winter comes on is in
fuenced by the need of finding suf-
ficient supply of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest northern places where birds
live they naturally turn to the South,
where, their instinct tells them, food
will be plentiful. The return Of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one of the evil
dences of their possession of an in
stinct which is also strong in man,
The environment in which bird or
human being is brought up generally
becomes a permanent part of its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made 1t clear just what enables the
bird to find its way back and forth to
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact of
what the "homing instinct" does.
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam.
lily, birds cherish fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home. The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means of livelihood.

Gives Beauty Advice.

Girls, young ladies and misses, it's
no use to spend your coin on rouge
and powder to make yourself look
beautiful. 1t will not improve your
looks. And if you insist upon wearing
small, tight shoes with high heels, you
can depend upon it that they will
bring hard, drawn lines in your face.
Another menace to beauty is four
pound skypiece on your belfry. This
is all according to DIR. Ida c. Nahm,
who makes sweeping denunciation
of these things. If you want to retain
your youthful beauty for ever and
ever, follow these dictates, says the
doctoress: Plenty of soap and warm
water lots of outdoor exercise, espe-
cially walking, and drink two quarts
of water every day. These will insure
health, red cheeks and slim, youth
full figure. Doctor Nahm recommends
the water cure and walks especially
for ladies with too much embonpoint.
She says it's the safest, surest and
quickest way to reduce.
