Rorton would soon be due from the sewing society weekly meeting.
 "Why what is this?' she exclaimed as she came in sight of her afternoon cookery set out to cool, for the dough- nut bowl was half denuded and the cookie heap had visibly diminished. And there under a fork on the board was q dollar bill and scrawled on bit of paper were the extraordinary words: 'Hungry, but honest"
 Tn profound amaZement Ellice was trying to solve the mystery or the moment when Mrs. Barton returned.
 "The whole batch didn't cost dol lar, Ellice," was her philosophical de- duction. 'It must have been we'll meaning tramp to pay so 1berally' though"
 Lacey Delavan came around before dusk. There was game of croquet and he was invited to hang up his coat on a tree limb, as the weather was warm. He left early, for Elllce was not very sociable. He had been gone only half an hour when he re- turned in a great furry. He had missed a valuable memorandum book out of his coat pocket. It must have fallen out when he took off his coat, he suggested.
 Ellice got a lantern and they went out into the garden, but there was no trace found of the missing article and Delavan went away looking worried and alarmed, hoping that he might have left the memorandum book at home.
 Ellice taking another search after his departure, gave start, as, pass ing among some bushes, her name was spoken.
 "Ellice!'
 She stared and trembled as the speaker came into view. It was Roland Dexter, bronzed, roughly dressed, but bright of eye and manly in his boise as ever.
 "You-you have come back!' she stammered incoherently.
 "To find out if little item I chanced across intimating your engagement was true," he said.
 Tt was false!' spoke Ellice veheIn- ently.
 'I judge that. Set down the lan- tern and come into the shadow. 1 have something important to tell you"
 She joined him fearlessly. Her heart was bounding with joy and love.
 You know how I left home under a cloud," said Roland. Ut looked bad for me, that missing jewelry. Even my father believed me to be the thief and then and even now a warrant is out in behalf of his client who owned the property. So I had to hide this when I got here and, as was hungry, I helped myself to your superb cookery. And I found a mem- orandum book belonging to Delavan. In it is a scrawl in his disguised hand item in the paper There, too, l found pawn ticket covering jewelry I am sure is the same stolen from my fathers office. Delavan was with me there several times, but never suspected until now that he was q false friend"
 He was, indeed, proven such during the ensuing few days, and the inno- cence of Roland Dexter came forth as clear as crystal.
 And before the year was out, pretty 1llice was making. cookies and dough- nuts for her d solely.

"There !" pronounced Ellice Dunbar in an intense tone of satisfaction, as she carried a heaping yellow dish of prime smoking doughnuts into the cool open shed just beyond the kitchen, and set 1t on a clean board loaded with other tempting viands to cool.

Why the Cord of Wood Shrink


 Ralph Faulkner and Henry St berg, students in the College of estry at the University of Washing have proved by experiment that a { of full-length wood when sawed replied ip the ordinary stack shri on an average 24.76 per cent. As q CTS buy wood in full lengths and ally measure it for delivery before ing it, they are often accused of gl' short measure.
 A "cord" is the standard meas ment of wood, and it is defined as cubic feet of wood, measured by four feet high and eight feet wid logs four feet long.
 The discrepancy between the as bought by the dealer and as d cred to the customer, according Prof. Hugo Winkenwerder, dean of college, is not entirely explained the sawdust. When wood is pileC in four-foot lengths there are Il spaces between sticks, caused by k and curvatures. These spaces eliminated when the wood is cut small.

Threads as Complexion Charms.

The girls of Roumanian country dis tricts take great pride in a clear, heal thy complexion, and just as the girls in our own rural districts generation ago would get up before breakfast and steal down unobserved on the first day of May to wash their freckles away in the dew of the morning, so the girls of Roumania take red and white threads, twist them into cords, from which they suspend coins around their necks. These talismans they wear from the dead of winter to the moment they see the first blossom of spring, feeling sure that thereby they will guarantee themselves milkwhite complexion, rosy checks and ruby lips.

 One of these silent witnesses was the mail clerk who had time and again handed mail to McNa- mara at the general delivery window and had known him !. B. Bryce Imagine the effect the guilty man when he saw that the mail clerk recognized him.

 The McNamara Case
 One of the most notable cases of the nractice of the silent third degree was in the Los Ange- les Times dynamitfng case. James B. AIcNamara was on trial. The prosecution had deveIoped n strong case against him, but the mans nerve wonderful.
 It was Samuel L. Browne, chief of the Los An geIeS secret service bureau, who directed the grueltng daily presentation of witnesses who spoke not nor were spoken to, but who merely filed into the court room, caught the eye of J. B. McNamara, shot him glance of recognition and then unprecedented by counsel for either side, left the room
