CHAPTER II.
FRONT AND BACK.

For ten minutes Jack crouched in
the Morris chair staring through,
the curtains. H
1.-THE street-lamp was near enough
to shed a faint radiance upon the
porch and door of No. 23. Jack could
have recognized his father in a
moment if he had come out again.
e But he didn't come out. Neither
did any one else.
THE shutters were all closed, as
they had been for the six months
during which the house had stood
empty. Not glimmer of light was
TO- be seen at any OF the windows.
The whole place was wrapped in an
1Htanny stiffness.
Hs'There's no use talking, I've got

declared Jack aloud. "He went in
as5 if he lived there. The man and
girl seemed > know him, too.
fSay! I'm going bug-house. l re-
member now, he took the part OF
these people when mother insisted
they were burglars. But ] never
suspected that he'd ever seen them
BSfore. If i didn't know my dear
Old dad so well l might think he
was leading double life" "'ne'.'.',
iiHe got up and walked across the
room and back again. In the dark
ness he fell over chair. 1t didn't
disturb him. He was thinking too
hard even to notice it.
1.-THE faint clicking of high heels on
the sidewalk made him jump to the
Window and look out.
FsHoly Mulligan! Here's mothe,
and Laura! Suppose dad should
come out of that house now! Why
Yothcr would be ready TO believe
that he had turned burglarw T..

her husband come out of the nys

staterooms of large steamer. This
berth is provided with short wing,
by means Of which it adapts itself to
the motion of the ship and remains

greatly, lessening the tendency to sea-

hardly noticeable in connection with
the movement Of vessel in rough

Jack was thinking OF the ease will
which she had carried her share o
the piano. Then he recalled what h
had read in the evening paper abou

He watched his father walk swiftly
down from the corner until he stood
in front of his own house. He was
looking at the dark windows.

thinks we're all out. I'm glad ]

closed again.

A Baptist minister, at the close of
his sermon, announced that in the
course of the week he expected to so

the parishioners said afterward:

AdmiraItv,s Hun,or.

The British admiralty has a sense
of humor, and occasionally displays 1t
in official documents.
An old sea captain wrote to the de-
partment complaining, more in sorrow
than in anger, of the way in which his
ship had been dazzle-painted: First
you make me look like parrot, and
then you make me look like a hay
stack, and I don't want to look like
either" He got back the official re-
ply:
"We don't want you to look like
either a parrot or haystack, but we
do want you to look like as if your
stern was where your head ought to
be-"

Can opener Makes Good Needle

Many cans used for packing meat
and other food products are operated
by means of small handle or key,
which has an eye for receiving a strip
Of tin and winding it up. These keys
are always furnished with the can and
usually thrown away as the can is
opened. Should large needle for
sewing blankets or burlap be re-
quired, splendid one may be made
by Strengthening out one of these keys
and filing the end down to a point.

CAR

One of the features of the auto
mobile business in all towns and cities
of any Importance is what is termed
a FUSED car Market" place where
those who have cars that they desire
to shed take their cars for sale, pay
ing a commission to the vendor, and
where those looking for bargains in
cars go to find them. Such con-
Germs have become recognized institu-
tions, and they fill in the auto world
an important and desirable function.
Realizing that the time is ripe for
such an institution Mr.. Brown, agent
in Nogales for the Rubber City Clear

he has engaged the Peck premises on
Grand Avenue, the open lot next to
the big Peck building, at the corner
of Walnut street, where he will estab-
lish at once all the details of the busi
ness.
The machines offered for sale will
be arranged for inspection, tagged
