in a boarding house; still the housewife
ought NOT to consider that she has
planned we'll when she is accomplishing
this part of her task at great loss. She
might as we'll have to admit that it wac
costing her much more to make her own
clothes than to have them made by an
expert dressmaker. Something would be
wrong in her method either way.
Not infrequently when hard times or
reverses come family decides that keep
ing house is too expensive, and according
ly go to board under circumstances and
in an environment that cannot possibly
be so cheerful or harmonious as would
be that Of the home. And at the boarding.
house they put up with things that they
would never endure at home. Cream
which they insisted on at home they
never see. The coffee could not possibly
cost but 20 cents pound though the fam
lily was used to grade Is cents dearer.
They content themselves at the boarding
house with stews, ragOuts and cheaper
cuts for roasts, while at home they or
dered lamb chops and steaks. Perhaps
without knowing 1t they are eating but
ter substitute in all the cake and pastry,
while at home they would never have
thought of this economy. Perhaps they
are even eating butter substitute on the
table without knowing it.
If a boarding house keeper can effect
these economies why should not the
housewife, too when food grows dear and
money is not any too plentiful? At least
before breaking up the household where
so many associations linger. one would
think that such an experiment In econ
omy would be worth the trying.

Legar flung himself fiat on his face

black watch struck.
The next moment the walls OF that

hull OF a torpedoed dreadnaught.

from many different points in the

work on the ruins.
And out OF those ruins. while this
work was going on. emerged two
bruised and tattered figures strangely
divergent In appearances. The first
figure, worming its way out through

as wounded .blacksnake might crawl

tents OF the mysterious casket there
deposited, Red Egan had returned with
the preposterous story of a white sheet
suddenly descending out of the black
ness of the vault and whisking One
Lamp Louie out of reach and also out
OF sight. And since the once valiant
Red Egan showed SO craven a spirit
that nothing short of quart of three
star brandy could tranquilize his shak-
en- nerves. and since One-I.amp Louie
showed no signs OF returning from
the mysterious realms into which
the aforementioned white sheet had
whisked him, Legar promptly and
wrathfully decided to take the matter
into. his own hands. He would lay
this ghost, he announced, or something
would so smash in the process.
But he had no intention of approach
ing that intimidating mausoleum with
out due and definite preparation. With
him he took powerful pocket fash
light. Colt automatic pistol and a
couple OF extra clips of cartridges.
but the instrument on which he re-
posed the most confidence was q gun
metal disk little bigger than a pocket
aneroid. some three inches in diane
ter and no thicker than a mans hand.
This innocent-looking disk. which
could be slipped into a vest pocket as
easily as a timepiece, was known to
the habitues of the Owls Nest as the
Black Watch.
While actually nothing more than
a small-sized hand grenade. its claim
to distinction lay IN the tremendous
explosive power which stood COM
pressed between its slender metal
walls.
Legar was not coward. Yet as he
stood in the clammy midnight air of the
Golden mausoleum and quietlyremoved
the screws that held the top on the
black casket beside him, he found that
combination of silence and gloom and
unsavory surroundings a little more of
u strain on his nerves than he had
anticipated. Yet as he lifted back the
sable cover of the casket he did so
with hand that was still steady.

Thence he took up his fiashlight, and
pressing close to the coffin's side,
stood studying the pallid face that lay
drapery of white satin.
He stared at that pallid face long
and intently. He stared at it with stu
dious and narrowing eyes. Then he
did a strange and an inexplicable
thing.
Lifting his manned right arm that
ended in its shank of steel, he brought
it down with crash on the glass
cover of the casket. Then, as though
for the pallid face still staring so i'm
passively up at him. he struck again
This time the blow fell directly on the
head between the white satin swath-
ings. But that failing arm, instead of
striking a human head of flesh and
bone. crashed down through a thin
shell of fiber and tinted wax.
Legar, focusing his light on that
shattered mask. emitted short bark
of triumph as the meaning of 1t all
came home to him. He leaned for
several minutes over the violated cas-
ket, staring at it with insolent yet alb
stracted eyes. pondering just what
move could lie beyond so intricately en-
gineered subterfuge. And the an
swer to that question came more
promptly and more directly than he
had anticipated. For as he stood
there, turning a piece of the wax-coy-
cred tissue meditatively over in his
fingers. the electric bulbs that strung
the mausoleum roof broke into sudden
light. From different quarters of that
shadowy building, at the same time,
stepped a group of hidden officers,
headed by David Manley himself
So quickly and so quietly did that
transformation take place, indeed,
that the man leaning over the casket
had neither time nor chance to change
his position. He merely blinked a lit
tie stupidity at the revolver which
glimmered in Manley's hand Then,
with a gesture that seemed equally
stupid, he reached for his watch and
held the heavy gun-metal case medi.
tatiyely between his fingers.
Stick 'em up!" Manley was at the
same time commanding with a curt
head movement towards Legar's
hands. 1T may have taken some
work, but this is the time we gather
