CHAPTER CXLIV

1t was barely the next morning
when Terry telephoned, but l was
already dressed and waiting.
Ready to start, Anne? I've had
Tony on the wire, and he's sending
round the car; so I'll be over for
you directly-say, half an hour
"Righto" I answered. I'm ready
now. Will you pick up Virginia on
the way over?"
Tony was jolly decent about it,

I forbade YOU having anything to DO

dared not discuss it with Jim now.
Instead I asked with what l thought
was good-natured ridicule:
You didn't-ask me not to nave
anything to do with Anthony's car
did YOU? He isn't going. Only
Terry and me-
"Only Terry and YOU" answered
Jim with relief-and no conscious

Set the good example before your
children of appreciating things your
self. Call attention to this thing and
that which pleases you. Join your
child in doing little acts of kindness
for others. Talk much about the
kindness of other people toward you.
Your child will then begin to ap-
preciate favors himself and he will
show his appreciation.

FRESH CLUE TO
BOMB PLOTTERS
Post Office Inspectors Hopeful
Of Arrests as They Cling
to Trail.
SKILLED MAN SOUGHT
All Internal Machines SO Far
Examined Show the Same
Handicraft.

A now clue to the identity of the Red
terrorlsts that plotted so ehrewdly and
at the same time so stupidity to assassi-
nate twenty-five prominent men who
have displayed marked enmity to an
archy was picked UP yesterday by the
Government detectives. Chief Post Of
fee Inspector William L. Cochran left
his office in the General Post Office yes
to-day afternoon after stating to THE
SUN that his men have found fresh
footprint in the trail Of the bomb gang
an indication that may lead to arrests
within n few days.
Post Office inspectors are q great deal
more celebrated for results silently at
tained than for glib predictions of sue
cess, and Chief Cochran was careful to
say that the new clue may lead to ar
rests Obviously he was not at liberty
to make public the nature of the new
crime lead. What he did say was this
II am more confident to-day than I
was yesterday that we will get the men
We are after. BY chance, partly, and
mostly by hard. plugging work, my men
have come across n lead which did not
appear at all the first few days of the
investigation. 1t Is slight clue, but It
seems promising. l can only say that
1t has nothing to do with the wrapping
paper, the pasteboard carton, the type
writing or any other part of the bomb
parcel. Fortunately for the necessary
secrecy OF the investigation, the point
has not been mentioned and 1 hope Il
will not be picked up until the Govern
ment detectives have had time to 60 into
Il thoroughly"
Work on a Dozen Clues.
ThereupoN the big chief inspector
clamped his competent Jaws and no
amount of persuasion could extract an
other word from him. Presently, along
with Inspector Joseph K. Jacobs, he
left the office, saying that he had work
to do which would keep him away from
the General Post Office for a day or
two. His sudden departure may or
may not have had some connection with
conference he held Just previously with
the two explosives experts from the
Bureau OF Mines. Clarence Hall and
H. c. Traunce. These experts had been
at work all morning at police headquar-
tiers with owen Eagan examining dis
assembled bombs and the fragments Of
the single bomb which exploded, that
received in the home OF former United
States Senator Thomas w. Hardwick
Of Georgia.
Aside from the bare statement made
by Chief Cochran that a new lead was
squirting the investigators ahead, the
investigation seemed last night to have
bedded down to steady, determined, rou-
tine detective plugging. Agents of the

The fascinating foot of lovely wom-
an has long been theme for song ana
sonnet, and certainly the fashions of
the fall must inspire the modern poet
to renewed tribute.
Never have shoes been more delight
fully interesting, more elegant In line,
than they are today. 1t is the day OF
the long vamp, which gives the foot
an extreme distinction and grace. The
low shoe5of the moment comes in pat
ent, black kid and Havana brown,
while as>the cooler days approach the
shoe of heavy tan calf, suede and
buck leather, in black, brown and gray
will have its innings. In fact, 1t is
hfty-fifty just now between the oxford
and the shoe And it may be noted
that the oxford is going to be much
worn with smart spats this fall.
Now that the war is over and one
feels that one can dance with clear
conscience, women are busily acquir-
ing evening pumps and slippers. They
are cut higher than heretofore. to give
support to the big buckles Of cut steel
beads and iridescent, beads set high
in colonial effect which make them
absolutely irresistible. The pumps
are made of black kid and satin. and
incidentally the satin, ones are so cut
a. to wear without cracking. Slip
pers are of gold and silver cloth and
have the high French heel.
, The baby French heel is going to
be in high favor for evening shoes, as
well as the French heel 21s inches
high. These baby heels are delight
fully quaint. On the street shoe, like
wise, there is wide latitude, In heels,
sand one may wear the high Cuban
heel or be equally correct with a heel
that isn't more than an inch.

vamp with box cloth top is good. and
this llne box cloth Is also used with

American women are demanding

seems. the market Is short in the
