broad window ledge m saw the lights
of the north-bound train slow down at

to the States but there was no
hope in 1t for me. And no splendid
aying-man was planning to drop out
of the skies to rescue me on the NOR
row. Not a living soul that loved us
had an idea of what had become OF
Bob and me!
Now thai l had been caught, 1 saw
that a particularly Hunnish trap had
clutched me. Bob and / were not un-
der lock and key and bars like ordin-
airy prisoners. We were, nevertheless,
captives. As long as Bob was sick his
wife would not wander far from his

While Certeis and the helpers he
had summoned bathed Bob and put
him TO bed. l changed my a%viator's
breeches and blouse for a fluffy blue

Then l hurried to my husbands side.
Bob had lapsed into unconscious

Somewhere In the foothills Certeis
found his auto. Evidently 1t had been
parked there, waiting to pick him up
after his visit to Don Manuel. The
chauffeur received his extra passen-

Manuel as an intimate friend, not
as q superior. Remembering the
odious B~erghoff, butler, junker and in

The care of hardwood floors is
quite a problem.
In the first place one mi know
the finish of the wood. An oil mop
on a waxed floor or a waxed mop on
an oiled floor will not give satisfac-
tory results.
The routine care of the floor is q
daily busting with a dust mop, a
weekly polishing with an oil mop
and, not oftener than once q month,
a careful cleaning; using clear. warm
water, rubbing the floor perfectly dry
with a soft cloth and applying wax
or oil as the case may be.
The too frequent use OF the oiled
mop tends to gum the finish and
make the floor very difficult to care
for.
You know wood, ever hard wood,
is porous and unless a floor is prop
erly finished in the first place, wher-
ever there Is the greatest use the
finish Will soon wear off and dark
stains work into the wood.
Christmas suggestions: Father, n
bucket of coal; Mother, a pound of
butter; Sister, an eSgi Brother, n
lump of sugar.
Menu for Tomorrow
BRFAFAST-Baked apples. waf-
fles, coffee.
Observation-Disclosures soup, crou-
tons, hermits, tea.
DINNER-Baked White fish,
drawn butter sauce. hot potato chips,
cold slaw, bread and butter, choco-
late bread pudding, coffee.
My Own Recipes
In baking a fish. the head and tail
may or nay not be left on. The fins
should be removed and the eyes-if
the head is allowed to remain. A
white fish is unusually fat enough not
to need any extra fat in the pan, but
in case fat is needed. salt pork or
bacon laid in strips along the top of
the fish and of course water in the
pan, will prevent dryness.
CROUTONS
Cut bread in one-half inch slices.
Remove crusts and cut slices in one
half inch strips. Spread thinly with
butter and toast In the oven.

cab was used by the bank robbers.
Mr.. Lewis is sure that Mccullough has

identification is not shaken by the fact
that Mccullough also identified Roy
Tyler, who had to be discharged be-
cause he proved he was hundreds of
miles away when the hold-up took place.
The prosecutor said that the first in
formation received from the Tacoma
police was that their prisoner rcsem

admitted that Tyler also resembled
that man, but said that the messages

Fordham Hospital.
When Schreyer learned that the Sal
walton Army intended to engage him
to make his dive in the interests of
It's home service fund campaign, he
volunteered his services. Moreover, he
insisted upon defraying the expcns as
OF erecting the 142-foot tower, with
its trough or Spout" 80 feet long
down which he rides the bicycle to the
dive. He also paid for and supervise d
the construction of the shallow tank
into which he dives and the putting
up Of the net into which he drops his
bicycle.
Two thousand and nineteen times
Schreyer had done this in his career
of twenty years. Two thousand and
nineteen times he had dived, gaugine
his distance to the fraction of an inch
and plunging squarely into the seven
foot square tank. SO far as onlookers
could see, he abated his caution not a
whit in preparing for his 2,O20th dive.
The only difference between this and
those which had gone before was that
"Daredevl" Schreycr was doing it as
volunteer.
The great crowd held its breath as
ne took off. There was a gasp as the
bicycle dropped into the net and the
man maintained his steep parabola
toward the tiny tank below. Shrieks
went up &s it was seen that he had
missed his mark. Several women
