is turned white in a single night, and
she wondered whether her hair would
be blanched by this horrible impris-
onment to the hue Of that of an old
woman.
Finally. she sensed rather than
heard FOOTBALLS outside. Then there
came to her ears the voice of the
man who UP there in the Munsey
Building had introduced himself to
her as Capt. Barry Henderson. and
whom she had astonished by showing
that She knew Thomas jeffrey
Fuller. The door OF the cabinet
opened outward. but forgetting that,
she braccd herself against the back
OF the binet and planted her foot
firmly in front OF the door TO bar IL
if It should open inward. 1t was an
instructive movement, but it pro-
duced unexpected and fateful results.
Scarcely had her foot touched the floor
at a point close 10 the base OF the
door. when she felt the floor fall be-
meath her. She slipped downward,
was caught in a smooth polish ID
metal tube, and slid gently to the
floor below AS she felt the door
give way. she uttered that slight
scream which proved to the Man
DARN at the instant OF his opening
the door that she was still in tho
cabinet.
The cabinet had originally been a
telephone booth. This old house had
once been occupied by a man who
used the room now the shrine Of the
gold Buddha as an office. When the
time came for installing a desk tele-
phone, finding no further use for tho
cabinet, he had connected IL with the
basement by means OF a zinc tube,
and into the cabinet he had been in
the habit of throwing all Of his waste
papers, the accumuIations of which
were shot down into the basement by
the trap through the zinc tube to be
burned in the furnace. Succeeding
tenants had forgotten all about the
trapdoor to the zinc tube and the sec
ondary purpose for which the cabinet
had been used; and the Orientals who
had for years occupied this house had
accepted the cabinet merely as an
abandoned telephone booth, and had
adapted it to their own uses.
When Madeline slid to the base
ment she extended her arms and pre-
vented any such rapid fall as would
have caused her physical injury. The
springs restored the trapdoor to it's
place. the catch caught and held, and
when the three men looked into the
cabinet 1t was not only empty, but II
presented the usual appearance in
every way.
Madeline Conner found herself in a
room not more than eight feet square
without windows, and, to all appear
ances, without doors. It was utterly
dark. utterly silent. and very stufIy.
She could feel dust on her hands and
she inhaled dust with her breath. Yet
she felt no such development could
have taken place in the drama Of the
transmUtation Of metals unless fate
intended that she was TO escape and
foil her pursuers. She knew that the
Otientals engaged in the plot against
her were men OF powerful intcllects
and entirely superior, as they put II,
10 the scruples Of Occidental life.
Madeline had once met a man in
Denver who claimed 10 be from
Washington and to hold an import
ant place in the Capitals affairs.
Finding her interested in ORR
entail thought, he exhibited to her
the peculiar effect upon some sorts

SHOW
MANS STATUS IN
EVERY VOCATION
THESE EVIDENCES OF TOLL ARE
SHOWN ON MINDS As WELL
AS ON HANDS.
ARE EXHIBITED AS EVIDENCE
The Thrifty Have Long Looked For
Such investment as Government
Is Now Offering.

No man can work with his hands
without showing calluses, whether ne
be a great violinist or a section hand.
His hands bear the credentials of his
trade just as his union card bears the
credentials of his trade union. Calluses
on the hands are a certificate OF
standing in the craft and it makes not
the slightest difference whether they
are caused by the ivory keys Of a
grand piano or the handle Of a No. 2
muck stick.
No union man is ashamed Of the cal,
luses on his hands, formed in the hon
est practice of his craft. But it would
not hurt for him to have a few cailuses
on his mind also. He has adequate
proof that he has used and can use
his hands. Even the most hard-boiled
police court judge is willing to accept
his manual calluses as conclusive evif
dence. But he needs something to
show that he has used and can use his
mind.
Has he thought for himself as we'll
as worked for himself? II his brain,
has made him save and preserve what
his hands have gained, the answer IS
"Yes" and the proof is there for all
to see. His savings and his invest
ments are the calluses which show
that his mind has been working for
him.
1t is not necessary for any man to
blister his mind before he has thought
.calluses on it. All he has to do Is to
a part Of what he eai IS every
week and put it into some safe, sound
and profitable security, such as Gov
eminent Savings Stamps and Treas
ury Savings Certificates. They are the
place for your savings because
hey have the U. s. Government be.
hind them.
The lines thrift cause In your mind
are a lot better looking and more valu-
able than the lines a pick handle Or
spike maui etch in your lunch hooks.

THE DOLLAR NOW AND THEN.
Money Saved Now, If Properly Invest.
ed, viii Have Double Buying
Power In Days to Come.

The saying has come up from the
Dark Ages that the way to make mon
ey is to buy cheap and sell dear.
AS the government of the United
States is pointing out to it's citizens,
one way to do this is to buy standard
securities when general prices are
high and hold them for redemption
when prices are lower. w. S. s..
posters urge investors to use the pres
ent 'low power" dollar to buy govern
ment securities and to receive in re-
demption at a later period high
power" dollars.
Here is how it works.
Before the wal you earned, say, So
a day. Now you earn, say, IS for doing
the same work. But you can't buy any
more with your five dollars than you
could with your three dollars-other
prices have gone up in proportion to
the price of your labor.
If, some years after the war is W
prices and wages decrease somewhat,
you may. for example, be earning and
spending 81 per day. Your War Saw.
ings Stamps become due and the gov
eminent gives you back your $50, or
the then value of nearly 81 days la
Dor, plus your SIT interest. In terms
of days labor, the government is Civ.
ing back four days than it re-
ceived from you besides your SIT in
terest. This changing value of the
dollar has made many persons richer
and others poorer without their know
ing exactly how 1t happened. Now is
the chance to Join the class Of those
who are going to be made richer, and
II safe way to join is by buying the
convenient government security-the
Wal Savings Stamps.
