A QUICK spurt of flame ahead N halted us in our search for "A Mrs. Green. We heard an in.
 distinct murmur of voices, the sound of twigs being broken, then ab- solute silence.
 "Shp' Kent whispered. "As we are not armed, we must creep up as close as we can, then when the son of gun pipes us off we can spring on him be fore he can wing us. Do you get me?'
 I admitted that his plan was good.
 "Then on your knees and be care ful," he commanded. We crept through mud puddles without noticing them.
 Then I heard the sound of a safety match being scratched unsuccessfully against box. When it finally lighted what would be revealed?
 A jagged circle of yellow light flick cred a moment while crouched ready to spring, then burned dinner and went out. The silence was unbroken until the light disappeared, then Bopps laugh rang out loud and clear, followed a moment later by a hys- terical giggle which I recognized as Lucile's.
 While I scuttled away as hastily as possible in order to be out of range be- fore he could light another match, l heard him say in a childish falsetto, \ N"One-two-three for Monty!'
 I did not hear what else he had to offer because I got out of earshot as soon as possible. A few hundred yards on the trail back to the house Kent joined ne. We proceeded Indian fashion silently for a while.
 Finally he ruminated: "It's sure queer how I forgot about ker and him being on the island. If 1t hadn't been flor them we was doing fine. I SUD- pose we'll have to go back to the house and begin all over again."
 No more footprints" I insisted hastily. "We'll jNst hunt as plain anna teur hunters and cut out the detective stuff."
 Kent was visibly crestfallen.
 Suddenly the muffied report of gun reached our ears.
 They've found her." said Kent without enthusiasm. Lets go back" l hesitated. 1 hated to face Lucille after the ridiculous scene of short time before. Finally assented.

CHAPTER V-continued.

-O-
 "You seem to know a good deal about detective methods I said, with mock admiration
 "Yeh," he responded seriously; q ought to. I've been chased by some of the best detectives in New York Then he added proudly, q had Burns after me once."
 Under her window is the first place to look" said Kent, alive with inter- est now in the scheme. Where did she sleepy"
 l picked out the window of Mrs. Greens room, and we carefully search ed the wet ground underneath by light ing matches.
 Isn't 1t more probable that she would come out by the doorT I sug- gested. "She could never climb from that second story window"
 "Sure she could," he asserted. "See that rain pipe here? It goes alongside her window. A lady like her could shin up and down that like mouse"
 Someway the picture of my future mother-in-law q hopeO frisking up and down a narrow water pipe was beyond my imagination.
 Look herer' exclaimed my compan- ion, pointing to the ground in front of him. "Is that or is it not the print of a lady's shoe?"
 ! I looked. There was certainly . footprint there, and it was small and narrow.
 "It's fresh too. You can tell by the mud that it's been made since the heavy rain. Old footprints would have been washed out anyhow"
 This was sure enough reasoning.
 Kent started to walk in the direction that the footprints led, and l followed. All at once Kent stopped and lit sev- eral matches all in one place.
 "I think I've solved the mystery, he said, bending over the mud. But it looks bad for the doll. There's a guy following her. Look at these marks"
 With a shudder I verified his state ment. Larger footprints were in the :, mud with the small ones. The owner of the larger shoes had evidently fol lowed the lady, because in many cases the small footprints were partially ob- liberated by the larger ones.
 Kent echoed my own thought. Gee I wish we had brought the gun with us."
 r~"Let's hurry on before it's too late,' Urged.
 .We pressed forward at killing pace, only stopping once in awhile to assure ourselves that we were on the right track. At one place the ground was trampled over a considerable area.
 He caught up with her here," Kent interpreted "rhey struggled. Look, she dropped this."
 He picked up a handkerchief. By the light of a match l discovered that it was marked "G."l There could be no doubt; we were on the right track,
 "She got away from him, though, exulted Kent. ''See here, just beyond her footsteps are ahead again."

Smart Effects of Belts.

Belts are very wide and define the waistline without drawing it in. Many of the straight dresses have a band of very wide ribbon embroidered in beads of spangles; others show belts of broad reversible satin ribbon, draped a little to allow a glimpse of the two colors. Much the same effect is produced by lining satin with stock ingette of a contrasting tint.

checkered designs always make an appeal to the fair sex, and when the design is on bonnet which is so as- tonishingIy simple that practically nothing else ornaments the headgear. they make an even more decided m- pression. This pretty model with the straw in green and maize squares standing on point and with the band and hat in olive green crepe makes most youthful and dainty spring bon net.

UNMA[TED GRAIN NOW USEDF
 BREADSTUFFS

NEW YORK, June 1.-The amount of materials annually used in the United King dom of Great Britain for the manufacture of alcoholic bever- ages has been reduced from 1,S56,00 tons before the beginning of the war to 512,000 tons at present, according to a statement issued here by the British Pictorial Service.
 All the materials now being used for this purpose, it is stated, are utilized in brewing beer. During the past year." the memorandum says, mo manufacture of spirits for human con- sumption has been permitted, and no further manufacture is at present con- templated"
 It is pointed out that about one third of the materials used are not of kind that could be used as a human food, and that about one-quar- ter to one-third of the weight of the original materials is recovered in the form of brewers and distillers' grains, malt combfngs for cattle food, and in the form Of yeast for preparing hu- man food.
 NO unmalted barley is now in the hands of the brewers or malsters, ' says the statement. "Tbe whole of the existing stocks of unmalted grain were requisitioned for breadstuffs on 1 February 23 last"
 Rations compulsorily imposed in the United Kingdom are enumerated as follows:
 Meat, including chicken, all kinds of game, etc, not exceeding one and onefourth pounds per week There will be supplementary rations for those engaged in hard labor.
 Butter and margarine, one-fourth pound of either, not both, per week
 Sugar, half pound per week.
 There are many other restrictions, such as the restrictions of wheat in bread, of feeding cereals to livestock in the uses of milk etc.,

respect Of the Indians, and they rec ognize him as their leader. A chief still represents his tribe in all the disputes or conferences with the gov ernment.
 Captain Welch for many years has been a student of the Indian customs, and formed many friendships with members of the Sioux tribe. In 1913. because of a mutual regard that had grown up between the captain and the chief, John Grass, the latter asked the captain if he would be willing to be adopted as his son. The captain con sented and, conforming to the ancient ceremonies of the Sioux, was taken into the tribe by service held at Fort Yates, the old trading center. The service began at dawn and lasted until sundown.
 The body of tne old chief has been laid in the cemetery at Fort Yates, and the Sioux now look for the return of their "paleface chief" from the great war to assume control of their affairs and act as their spokesman in all matters in which the tribe is in. volved.

WHITE MAN |S
 CHIEF OF SIOUX
 INDIAN TRIBE

,- MANDAN, N. D., June 11.-With the passing of Chief John Grass of the Sioux tribe of Indians, who re- gently died at Fort Yates, the head. quarters of the Standing Rock agency, his mantle falls upon the shoulders of the only white man ever adopted into the tribe. Thus Captain A E. Welch of Mandan, adopted son of the old chieftain, became, according to ancient customs of the Sioux, the chief of the tribe
 The new Sioux chief, whose Indian name is Mato-Watakpa, is with the United States infantry in France, and is the aide of Major General Hunter Liggett Afgrandson of John Grass, Albert Grass, is serving with the same division.
 Although there were formerly four chieftains of the Sioux, only one fine remains, and, the old chiefs sons all being dead, Captain Welch, by reason of being the adopted son, takes prece- dence over a grandson in the direct line.
 The name Mato-Watakpa is the Sioux war name of the old chief, and means Charging Bear.' When he was adopted Captain Welch chose this name as the one by which he would be known among the Indians.
 Although the chief of today has not gone by, the title still gives him the
