FIFTEENTH EPISODE
The Murderer at Bay.

Pierpont Stafford cherished his ma
1estic country place principally be-
cnuse 1t furnished him an ample sol
islde. He could wander about 1t for
hours and never meet soul. IL he
wanted company. there was room for
1T in the palace and in the formally
gardened grounds. And he could look
down on the tremendous peace of the
Hudson river, admiring its strength as
one strong man does nnothei, and com
plimenting 1t on the efficiency with
which 1t did such big business with
so little fuss.
He asked few persons to visit him,
and those few only when the mood
moved him. In his everyday life as
pan of big affairs he met so many peo-
Pile and was so pointed out when he
walked the streets that he acquired
kind of shyness In his hours of leisure.

When T'rask stamped up the cabin

Gloria studied the girl. She had been
beautiful. and still was pretty but too
sad. Just now she was too angry. Nell
had been fighting against her father
till this unknown woman appeared
from nowhere. Now Nell was all for
her father against the world
Gloria spoke to her, questioned her
about Freneau. Nell did not answer
at all. only in grumblIng monosyllables.
Gloria tried to bribe Nell to let her
escape. Gloria offered larger and
larger sums till Nell would have been
dnzzled IL she had been convinced.
At last she spoke:
"Say, who do you think you are?
The Dime Savings bank? And who do
you think / am? amt on auction.
II your father had all the money you're
maxim up he has, do you think you
could buy my father with It? MOI"
Glorn liked her better for that, but
she was none the less determined to es-
cape If she could She talked no more
But she thought harder than ever be-
fore.

The place was extremely unlike her ia
TIERS yacht, but the SAVIOR of the fry
ing pan made Gloria democraticnlly
hungry. When Trask came back, how
ever, his cold eyes took her appetite
away. But not his own. She watched
him wolf his food; she felt that he

Ills eyes kept rolling in her direc-

he was half afraid of her. He re-
membered the loneliness of that win

monument. He remembered the ap-
pearalce OF Freneau alone and no 9TH
er human being In view. His very
hands remembered the death grasp
they took on Freneau's throat. He
smiled. That was one good deed, ut
least, he told himself.
But he could not imagine how this
girl could have seen him. How could
he guess that she had sat at her win
dow with binoculars to her eyes and
watched the whole tragedy. He be-
gan to grow superstitious. Gloria was
apparently able to perform miracles.
She wore the invisible cloak. Perhaps
she would leave as mysticaliy as she
had come.
Finally he grew brave enough to
shout out at her: "Who are your

He was touched in n tender spot
when he heard that his scapegrace
daughter Gloria had invited three
guests to make his sacred retreat their
more or less permanent home. She
had not consulted him and the guests
were the last people in the world he
would have invited. 1t was nice
enough for Gloria to take pity on a
poor waiter and his forlorn child. 1t
was sweet OF her to adopt the child.
Pierpont had even forgiven her by now
for compelling him to hunt employ
ment for the waiter. But then what
followed? Gloria invited the boys al
most hopelessly invalid mother and the
boy and the father to make themselves

That move was far more than too
much.
This has got to stop. and I'm going

Advances in these groups ran from large fractions in United States Steel and Bethlehem Steel to 1-2 points each for Vir- ginia Iron and Superior Steel and two points for, Air Brake.

 Prices mounted higher before the inevitable profit taking made any impression. United States Steel at tained to the new record for the year at 121 1-2, Superior Steel increased it's gain to five points and Air Brake made an extreme advance of six points. Prominent specialties also exceeded first quotations by one to two points. Reactions, with con- sequent slaclzening of operations, averaged little more than a point. Railroads, motors, sugars and utili- ties yielded more easily than other issues. Strength of shippings and equipments prompted rallies, but fresh realizing set in before midday.

Remarkable Record
by Local Bo,D1ev

Floyd Bower. OF this city. who has
shown championship form on the al
leys this winter, has set new bowling
record for the year, topping III pins
in three games at the Cook alleys
Wednesday afternoon. While the score
in itself is remarkable. the circum
stances under which it was attained
will be more startling to the devotees
of the alley game.
In the three games Bower hit the
head and the three pin, normally equi-
valent to strike, thirty Ave consecu-
tive times, showing the most remark
able control. In the three games
Bower registered twentys!x strikes,
and In the first and second games he
missed perfect scores when the ten
pin stood once in each game. The ten
pin proved the jinx pin turnout, being
left upright seven times.
No errors were marked against
Bower in the three games, and he Sc
cured but one split, in the first frame
of the third game. He picked up al.
spares handily. The scores for the
three games were 26s, 245 and 257.
In the past week Bower has rolled
five three-game series for total score
in excess of 700. His previous high
score was 757. His bowling ,Wednes-
day has not been excelled in the state
this year, and doubtless is equal to
anything in the country. He plans to
attend the bowling tournament at Des
Moines in April.

DR.. Evans telling only OF their share
in this greatest task. The education OF
the coming generation to be conscious
Of It's responsibilities in home. school
church life and in citizenship, he gave
as this greatest problem which the
world faces His manner OF unfolding
woman's part in this task proved very
interesting.
DR.. Evans said that religious teach
ing should be made more important
than at present. not only in the church
but in the home and the schools; and
that as the action of men and women
make the church what 1t should be for
the boys and girls the present religious
teaching should be changed to make II
have a note Of reality We should get
down to business and teach the reali-
ties of christian living, not just talk
about them, but a consecrated effort
must be used to lead boys and girls in
the experiences of religion and give
them higher ideals. He also dealt with
the Importance Of woman in the
schools, and especially in the home, as
the ideas fostered there are really what
remains with the coming generation,
but that we should be very careful In
not passing on our own decisions con-
victions and prejudices as the best,
which we are SO likely to do. DR..
Evans also added that women's clubs
add to the efficiency Of woman in the
home, and help greatly in the morals
outside of the home by their study of
outside interests.
During his talk DR.. Evans gave an
interesting average analysis yof the
activities Of boys and girls in twenty
four hours. compiled in Gary, Ind,
after years study. This analysis
showed that fifteen hours out OF
twenty four are spent under the con-
troll of the home, that two and two
thirds hours are spent in the school
room, one third of an hour spent under
the control of social service and re-
ligious agencies, and six hours spent
on the street or in undirected activi-
ties. This sounds rather startling, he
said, but, taken as an average for the
whole year, proved to be correct. DR..
Evans said that the direction OF
leisure hours, or the six spent on the
street or in undirected activities, was
as important as anything in the edu-
cation of boys and girls, and gave
some ideas for the direction Of these
hours. He closed his talk with the
reading of a poem on Work"
