New York. April 1s.-If we learned
any lessons OF thrift while the war
lasted surely 1t was not in the matter
of stockings, unless the truest thrift
lies in buying the best. For at pres
ent the only kind OF hosiery for which
there does not seem to be a big de-
mand in the shops is the kind that
is inexpensive and therefore inferior
in quality. Whether women have
much or little to spend on their
clothes they seem to want to pay
enough for their stockings to make
sure that they are Of first quality.
Perhaps this is because they have
less time for nendins. and the more
one pays for this commodity the less
darning II will need
When short skirts came into fash
ion there was an enormous increase
In demand for fancy and h-Erade
hosiery. At least the short skirt came
at the same time as an increase in
interest In hosiery. and we have been
assured that the one was the result
OF the other. However. now that
skirts have grown longer We are none
the less interested. The fact Is that
we have acquired the taste for ex-

CONFESSIONS OF A
WAR BRIDE
Resolve to Forego Escape and
Keep on Spy Hunting.

Pushing past Tony Cert when he
should unlock the door in the wall
would not be difficult, ] decided. as
reviewed my chances of escaping
from the tunnel under the fountain
When the man should step into the
black cavern from the bright light
OF day. he would not be able to see
me Immediately. l reasoned. 1t
was but a single step from my hid
ing place to the traffic in the alley
and in the moment of his blindness,
I could easily get away.
And the banana peddler would never
dare to pursue me, He would never
venture to attract the attention Of
passers-by to himself nor to the gate
in the wall
My escape was assured. but, as I
thought it over. I decided that I didn't
care to escape that way after all. No
matter how quickly I Nigh fee.
Certeis would recognize me- And he
must not know that I had discovered
the machine guns in his basement and
the secret shaft which communicated
with his bedroom.
He must continue to believe that I
had fled from his house by way OF the
rose trellis, even IL I had to stay all
night in that tunnel-with the dread
full rats
AS 1 reviewed occurrences. was
stunned by a deduction 7 could not
avoid. I had been fooled, I hadn't
been nearly as clever as l had
thought myself! Hamilton Certeis,
diplomat by education, and spy by
fate, had tricked me.
Certeis had seemed to be greatly
disturbed because 1 had thought him
Bolshevik-but he was pretending,
tie wasn't actually worried by what
might do. He realized thar my
opinion of him was based on the stun
IN the files. He perceived a fact
which 1 had overlooked: had no
evidence against him All my proofs
had been destroyed by the fire.
Nevertheless, with characteristic
treachery, Certeis had seized upon
that crisis in our relation as an ex-
Huse for keeping me a prisoner, of at
tempting to enslave me, and to turn
me to the service of his abominable
cause.
1 meditated in deep humility upon
my own denseness; l upbraided my
self:
You've been several kinds OF an
id1ot in your short life. Jane Lorimer,
~ IiliS Is tne peak. NOW-rtght un-
der this old fountain-you'd better
stop. At last, by good luck, you have
full proof Of Certeis' perfidy, and Ger
teis mustn't guess what you have
found out If he should, you'd have
mighty little chance to play the fool
over again. His gang would get YOU,
and then Certeis would leave town.
assume a disguise and choose another
center from which to spread the web
of Bolshevismr'
At least was wise enough to see
that something more than nv own
little life was at stake. Perhaps I
had been recruited by destiny to help
destroy an enemy OF my country, a
fiend who was trying to spread the red
revolt.
"Such being the truth, It begins to
look as IL you might have to live
down here indefinitely. Friend Jane,
before you can escape" whispered
to myself just to convince myself of
the unwelcome fact. 'Tf so, you'd
better investigate this tunnel"
For the passage did not end at the
steps on which / was sitting. 1t
stretched along the wall beyond the
alley door butt where 1t led could
not guess. I hoped it might lead to
another exit.

CHAPTER XIII.
The RaftaIlon nt the Front.

The BATTALION NJ inc FEouts
The same morning on which the tele-
gram came from Gen. Polovtzev there
also arrived a banner. with an inscrip-
ton that read something like this:
Long Live the Provisional Govern
ment! Let Those Who Can Advance!
Forward. Brave Women! To the De-
ferise OF the Bleeding Motherland'"
We were to march with this banner
in the demonstration, organized in op-
position to the Bolshevik demonstra-
ton, set for that day. The Invalids
were to march in the same parade. I
talked matters over with their chief
when we met at Morskaya.
The air was charged with alarming
rumors. The captain OF the Invalids
placed fifty revolvers at my disposal
1 distributed them among the instruc-
tors and my other officers. leaving a
pair for myself.
The band of the volynski Regiment
headed the Battalion of Death. as half
the soldiers of that regiment had re-
fused to march against the Bolsheviki,
having already been contaminated
with Bolshevist ideas, although 1t was
only June.
Mars Field, our destination. was
about five versts from our barracks.
The whole route was lined with enor-
nous crowds which cheered US and
the Invalids, of whom there were only
500. Many women on the sidewalks
wept, mourning the girls was leading
into what seemed a conflict with the
Bolsheviki Everybody said. Some
thing is going to happen today"
As we approached the Mars Field
where the opposing demonstration was
held / ordered my soldiers to sit down
and rest for Is minutes.
"Stroysia," (form ranks) 1 ordered
at the end of that time. We were all
more or less nervous, as il on the eve
of an offensive. 1 addressed a few
words to the battalion, instructing
them 20 stick by me to the end, not
to insult anybody, not to run at the
slightest provocation. in order to
avoid a panic. They all pledged them
selves to fulfill my instructions.

Powerful, Sturdy
and Simple

Mechanically, the Cleveland Six is of extraordinary
~sturdiness and simplicity throughout. 1t is distinctive. 1t
has refinement of construction not commonly found in low-prced cars.
The weel-base is more than ample to permit of the most
pleasing body designs and to provide seating capacity for five
adult persons in the very extreme Of comfort, with proper pitch OF
cushions and lots of legroom.
Power? There is power to spare in the Cleveland Six.
Power that takes the loaded car flying over the hills, and at
any speed that anyone. would wish over the country road and open
highway. Power so flexible, so responsive to the slightest touch Of the
throttle that those of us who have driven many cars know there are
few motors indeed that compare with it at all.
And this motor is in no other car. 1t is the exclusive
Cleveland Six motor, designed by engineers of the Cleveland
Company and built under their supervision in the Cleveland factory.

MUST BE RICH TO BUY DhINK
Maine Wocdsmen Now Have to Pay
SIS for Pint of
Whisky.

Bangor, Me.--War which used up so
much alcohol and starved the distil-
leries, and the bone-dry law affecting
the shipment of liquors from wet into
dry territory have made anything like
warm sociabilty let alone hilarlty,
impossible in Maine to any save the
wealthy.
In the oldfn days woodsman or
sailor went into Bangor bar (and ut
one time there were ISL, including
seven varieties to choose from), lald
down dime and took drink of what
could easily be identified as whisky.
But now drink of whisky is served
with Black Hand secrecy, and many
wink and whisper of caution in some
dugout up an alley, or maybe taken in
a dark hallway from the dirty glass OF
bootegger, and costs % to 40 cents,
while half pint costs - to $2.5o,
pint $4 to So, and quart So to $40,
according to quality, time and place.
There seems to be plenty of whisky,
or near whisky, here and elsewhere in
Maine, but the high cost of drinking
has driven common folks out of the
market.
