Nebraska and to say that the boys
were mighty glad Nebraska was on
the job in New York" He had not
seen a home paper for eight months.
The hostess of the day Immediately
had bundle made for him contain
ing months numbers. He left the
room smiling, hugging those papers,
and said, Gee, but l am going to
have a good time all the way to Chi
cago. When l get home | will know
a little about what's been going on
anyway"
The boys from the smaller towns
express more surprise at finding
their home papers than the men
from Lincoln or Omaha. They sort
of take it for granted that their pa
pels will be here. while the men
from Bennett, Bruning and Crooks
town are inclined to think it a
joke when they are told there is
home paper waiting for them. The
papers are also forwarded to the
men who are in the New York hos
pitfalls from time to time
Papers from 200 Nebraska towns
arrive each week for the boys to
enjoy while they are in New York.

Four hundred and seventy-five
Nebraska men arrived in New York
from overseas the week of July l-8
The number of Nebraska men ell
tertained at the state headquarters
rs West Forty-second street was
400, nearly 100 of whom were Wis
itors July 4.
Everything about the headquar-
tiers seems to appeal to the men,
They are enthusiastic over the
honey atmosphere of the place and
they appreciate the welcome, which
they say is so genuine" 1t is the
Nebraska newspapers that bring
more real JOY to the men than can
be expressed in words The fact that
papers from such towns as Ashton,
Norma, Table Rock, Waco and even
from smaller places can be handed
Immediately to the returning sol
der as he places his name on the
Nebraska register makes the man
open his eyes in wonder.
When the boys begin to read the
home papers the hostess on duty at
headquarters at once becomes the
recipient of their enthusiastic out
bursts. The boys love to talk things
over The other day a boy from
the western part of the state picked
up his home town paper, the first
he had seen for year-yes, his
folks had sent him papers, but
well, he did not get them. To the
Nebraska hostess on duty he ex-
claimed, 81 found two items already
about my own folks. Grandfather
is building a new barn and my
brother was POSTMASTER at the high
school alumni banquet. And here's
an item about a girl | used to go
with. She has just been married"
Then he went into details concern
ing the girl, the financial standing
of her parents and described her
appearance.
Other items which interest the
men very much are the paragraphs
containing mention of other boys
who have already reached home
The columns telling of the reception
given to the returning soldiers as
they reach home also arouses more
interest.
A man from Hastings came in a
few days ago on his way to the
train. He had not visited headquar-
tiers before, as it had been impossi-
bic for him to obtain a pass from
camp. He received his discharge
here and made this hurried visit as
he said, Just to pay his respects to

CHAPTER XXI.
On a Hot Scent
Come in," called Trent.


Mr.. Cupples entered his sitting
room at the hotel 1t was the early
evening of the day on which the
coroner's jury, without leaving the
box, had pronounced the expected
denunciation of person or persons
unknown. Trent, with hasty glance
upward, continued his intent study
of what lay in a Photographic dish
of enameled metal, which he moved
slowly about in the light of the
window. He looked very pale and
his movements were nervous.
"Sit on the sofa" he advised. THE
chairs are a job lot bought at the
sale after the suppression OF the
holy inqusition in Spain. This is a
pretty good negative he went on,
holding i up to the light with his
head at the angle OF discriminating
Judgment. washed enough now, |
think Let us leave it to dry, and
get rid Of all this mess"
Mr.. Cupples, as the other busily
cleared the table of confusion OF
basins, dishes, racks, boxes and bot
ties, picked up first one and then
another of the objects and studied
them with innocent curiosity.
That is called hypo-eliminator,'
said Trent as Mr.. Cupples uncorked
and smalled at one of the bottles.
Every useful when you're in a hurry

mates sodium hypophosphite, but |
shouldn't wonder if it would ellmi-
nate human beings too" He found
place for the last of the litter
on the crowded mantel shelf, and
came to sit before Mr.. Cupples on
the table. THE great thing about
hotel sitting room is that its
beauty does not distract the mind
from work 1t is no place for the
May-fly pleasures of mind at ease.

What Lillian Did to Place Madge in
Point of Advantage.


"Yassah, yassah, I'll remember.
The West Indian elevator boy
ducked his head obsequiously to
Allen Drake as he ushered our party
into the apartment elevator.
See that you do" Mr.. Drake
replied CURLY, and few seconds
later we were standing outside a
door on the third floor OF the
apartment building.
1t was a door no whit different
from any of the others in the build
ing yet to me standing outside, it
seemed to be gateway to unknown
horrors, with woman | so dreaded
very dragon at the portals.
Steady" Lillian whispered. She
had her hand upon my arm, and
l realized that she had felt the
tremor of nervousness which had
shaken me. She isn't here yet"
l looked at her in surprise, then
realized that instead of ringing the
doorbell, Mr.. Drake was fitting a
key in the lock as colly as if he
were the master of the apartment
inside. In another moment he had
swung the entrance door noise
lessly open, and ushered us inside.
felt a little cold shiver run
down my back at the darkness into
which we were plunged as Mr..
Drake swung the door into its
place again. At the further end OF
the hall tiny CLEAN showed that
the occupant of the apartment had
left one light at least behind her,
but it did not illuminate the hall at
all. Mr.. Drake whipped out a
powerful electric hashlight, played
it low upon the floor so that we
were able to pick pathway into
the room at the rear of the hall.
An Extraordinary Room.
1t was the ordinary living room
of furnished apartment, but even
the cursory inspection which the
faint CLEAN of the turned-down
light enabled me to make told
me that an extraordinary per-
sonality abode there. Oriental
draperies, daring and colorful, were
everywhere, exotic flowers filled
oddly-shaped vases and bowls,
and the odor of incense hung heavy
in the air
l had no time for more than a
brief glimpse of the room. Mr..
Drake leaaing his flashlight play
over corners, turned to Lillian.
"This is the room?" At his Ques-
ton, realized that his friend had
been in this room before, had plan
ned this bizarre meeting to the last
detail.
yes" she replied laconically,
land the alcove is yonder."
She pointed to pair of black
velvet curtains, heavily and intri-
cateiy embroidered with gold
thread in Chinese designs. To
my excited imagination they look
like a gorgeous pail. Mr.. Drake S
next words made me shiver in
unreasoning terror.
You wish Mrs. Graham to stand
there?" His manner told me that
Lillian was at the head of the enter
prise, and that Allen Drake for once
in his life was playing a subordi-
nate role.
Il think that is the best place
don't your" The question showed
perfunctory Difference, yet l knew
that Lillian would have been sur
priscd and resentful indeed had Mr.
Drake answered the question other
than he did.
"Unquestionab!y," ne returned
with courteous little bow, land
