creep into the shelter OF the old
home, where the voices we love
make the music we long to hear.
We are again seated at the

can see again the radiant, eN-
peCtant faces of the children,
and feel again the nexpressible

Thanksgiving is a gladstone

"You think the thief is still in the

Average Jones shook his head. He
was still shaking his head when he
left the hotel.
It took three days for the milk-jour-

afternoon of August 10, a lank, husky

the Advisor and was passed in ahead
of the waiting line.

wanderings of the stones and then fol-
lowed them all back to Mrs. Hale's

The bartender's stone offered no
difficulties. The setting which the
pawnbroker brought in had been found
on the city refuse heap by a scaven-
ger. It had fallen through grating
into the hotel cellar, and had been
swept out with the rubbish to go to
the municipal dump" The apparent
mystery of the florist was lucid when
Jones found that the hotel exchanged
its shop-worn plants with the Green
wich Floral company. His roaming
eye, keen for every detail, had noticed
row of tubbed azaleas within the
ground Enclosure of the Denton. Thus
it was apparent that the three jewels
had been stripped from the necklace

teamster, and went out.
Meantime Kirby had sent his list of
the guests who had given up their
rooms on August 7. Armed with the
list, Average Jones went to the Hotel

latter called to make inquiries. "Mr.

end of the hall. He had only one piece

Then you think Henry M. Gillespie

NO." said Average Jones.

Because there's no such person as

LABOR ACTIVE.
Report of Secretary Wilson Urges
Expansion of Governments En-
plOyment Service.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 7-Expansion of
the governments public employment
service and the creation Of Bureau
of Employment within the Depart
nent Of Labor is the chief recon-
mendation of Secretary Wilson's an
nual report made public today. The
work, it is declared, has outgrown the
facilities of the Bureau of Immigra-
ton, from where it has been directed.
Beginning in small way in 1907 it
now covers the country through the
Postoffice and other departments.
The assistance of the Postoffice De-
partment, Secretary Wilson says has
been particularly helpful. Some sixty
thousand postoifices are distributing
blanks which the seeker of a job may
fill out and send through the mails
free of postage. When applications
of employers and employees in the
same neighborhood enter the same
postofice the postmaster brings them
together without forwarding the ap-
plications.
One feature Of the employment
work emphasized in the report is the
Department Of Labor's cooperation
with state and city public employment
work. The departments aim, it is de-
clared, is to make the work $50 ex-
tensive as to comprise the whole coun-
try geographically and to embrace all
it's industries, yet so intensive as to
discover every opportunity for work,
however obscure, and to reach with a
helping hand every wage Garner out
Of employment or wanting better en-
ployment."
