Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power
If cheap baking powder is used for a

there is waste of costly materials worth

Royal Baking Powder produces the

1t was the final straw in the stocky
promoters crushing wrath burden. His
fat face turned purple, and for q sec
ond or two he clawed the air, gasping
for breath. Brouillard sat back In his
chair, waiting for the volcanic up

had regained a measure of self-control.
Mr.. Cartwright turned slowly and went
out without word, stumbling over the
threshold and slamming the door
heavily as he disappeared.
For a time after the promoters
wordless departure Brouillard sat at
his desk writing steadily. When the
last of the memorandum sheets was
filled he found his hat and street coat
and left the Office. Ten minutes later
he had penetrated to the dusty den on
the second floor Of the Spotlight office
where Harlan was grinding copy for
his paper. Brouillard took a chair at
the desk end and laid the sheets of
penciled government paper under the
editors eyes.

Get Cranky With Weather Changes

Says Man Who Has Wound
Clocks for 80 Years

Philadelphia.-The rheumatic clock
has been unearthed. its symptoms and
ailments resemble those of the man
whose bones ache and whose limbs re-
fuse to perform the functions assigned
to them without protesting and lag
ging.
In order to support this declaration
1t is necessary to introduce Charles
G. fancy. veteran clock winder and
chrOnometer surgeon. who looks after
something like 500 wall clocks which
mark time in the variors Offices of the
Pennsylvania railroad, its subsidiary
lines, its hundreds of Offices. its ferry
boat clocks, and the big tower clock at
the foot of Market street.

fancy Is sixty-seven years old, and
for 80 years has had entire charge Of
the clock department of that system,
his territory including all Of this city,
Camden and several suburbs. He re-
Gently celebrated the completion of 80
years of service as chronometer spe
cialist. In two more years he will be
retired on pension.
For 80 years he has been winding
500 clocks each week, doctoring them
when they were sick, making new
parts for them when the old ones were
worn out, and otherwise keeping them
up SO as to save them from the scrap
pile. With his little ladder and to
bag he has become a well-known figure
and fixture to every one Of the thou
sands of employees Of the Pennsylva-
mia system-so much so that when he
celebrates his 30 years they expect to
remember him with a token for his
faithfulness.
Clocks Get Cranky.
Clocks are like human beings" he
says. "They get cranky with weather
changes and have to be looked after.
In wet weather they. lag and haye to
be speeded up like the man with rheu-
matism. I have a number of clocks
which have been In constant use for
forty years. ten years longer than I
have been looking after them. Their
pinions are old fashioned, made of
brass, and they will partly wear out
and need treatment. Their symptoms
are like those of human beings.
"The big tower clock at the foot Of
Market street gets troublesome in wet
and freezing weather. The hands
freeze together, and then we have to
climb up and knock of the Ice and
loose them so that they will move
again."

The Sunset Gun

Mr.. Cartwright sat back In his chair,
and once more Brouillard saw in the
sandy-gray eyes the look which had
been in the sons eyes when the dere.
lict fought for freedom to finish killing
Stephen Massingale.
Its q pretty dangerous thing to try
to hold q man up unless you've got the
drop on him, Brouillard," he said sig.
nificantly. I've got you covered from
my pocket; I've had you covered that
way ever since you began to buck and
rear on me couple of months ago.
One little wire word to Washington
fixes you for good and all. II say the
word, you'll stay on your Job Just as
long as it will take another man to get
here to supersede you"
Brouillard laughed.
The pocket drop is never very safe,
Mr.. Cartwright. You are likely to lose
too much time feeling for the proper
range. Then. too, you can never be
sure that you won't miss. Also, your
assumption that I'm taking an un.

reply. II have asked you to do q GER

plices are plain swindlers, amenable to
the criminal law. and from that mo-
ment there will never be another real
estate transfer In the NiQuoia valley"
The promoter rose slowly out of his
chair and stood leaning heavily with
his fat hands, palms downward, on the
nat-topped desk. His cheeks were
pulled out and the bitten mustaches
bristled like the whiskers of gray old
leader of the timber wolves.

The chance did not materialize. The
lights in q certain upper Office in the
Niquoia building were still turned on
long after M. Poudrecaulx had given
mp the hope of the deep-sea sounding
for that night. Some time after the
lobby crowd had melted. and before
the lower avenue had begun to order
small-hour suppers Of Bongras. the two
high windows in the Niquoia building
went dark and few minutes later the
man who had spent half the night
tramping the floor or sitting with his
head in his hands at the desk in the
upper room came out of the street
archway and walked briskly to the
telegraph office across the plaza.
How is the line tonight Sanford
