THINGS THE BOYS LONG FOR
Youngsters Prefer Toys or contriv-
ances to Test Their Muscular Skill
or Endurance.

WHAT shall be said Of that blum
w dering kindness Of home folk
that considers giving the boy only
presents Of such things as he actu-
ally needs? 1t is an outrage upon
the spirit of Christmas to present him
with new shoes, ties, handkerchiefs-
something that he knows he will get
anyway-when his sleeping and wax
ing dreams for weeks before have been
filed with visions Of tops, balls, guns
and magic lanterns, says Maud Sou
ders In the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. The most beautiful knitted muf-
fer woman's fingers ever constructed
cannot compare with a jack-knife with
four blades and a cork-screw attach
ment, when exhibited over the back
fence to neighbor boy on Christmas
morning. Very soon after the days
of kits a boy reaches the age when
he yearns with his whole soul after
any toy or contrivance that will test
his muscular skill or endurance. At
this age an appropriate present would
be q rawhide or rope lariat, such as
is used by the Buffalo Bill riders. A
pair Of hand or arm stills will be re-
ceived with equal favor, and in the
same category comes new fishing
rod, snow shoes, tennis racket, golf
clubs, a good ball, lamp or cyclometer
for his wheel, or even a live pet,
new dog, a pair Of rabbits or guinea
pigs-something that he can pet and
train for his own.

Miss Donovan, silent and watchful,

Valois repeated his experience,
which was corroborated in part by the
testimony of John Cavendish's valet
whom he had met and talked with in
the hall. There was no flaw in the
stories to which the inquisitors could
attach suspicion. One thing alone
seemed to irritate Willis.

'The idea is absurd"
The same t-.y. young John, eager to
be away from the scene, moved his
belongings to the Fairnount hotel, and,
since no will was found in the dead
mans papers, the entire estate came
to him as the next of kin. a day or

family lot beside the fathers grave,
and the night of the funeral young

the floor and scattered into fragments.
Back Of the table small safe en-
bedded in the. wall stood with its door
wide open, its inner drawer spintered
as with knife blade and hanging
half out, and below it a rifle of papers,
many Of them apparently legal docu-

But the one object across which the
golden beams of light fell as though
in soft caress was the motionless fig
ure of man lying upon his back be-
side the table near the drapeless
window. A blow from behind had
evidently crushed his skull and though
the face was scared and burned,
though the curtains partial ashes
covered more than a half of it, though
the eye-lashes above the sightless eyes
were singed and the trim beard burn
ed to black stubs. the face gave mute
evidence of being that Of Frederick
Cavendish.
The door at the end of the bookcase
opened noiselessly and a man, smooth
faced, his hair brushed low across his
forehead. stepped quietly in. AS his
eyes surveyed the grewsome object by
the table, they dilated with horror; ,
then his whole body stiffened and he
fed back into the hall, crashing the
door behind him.

conner asked.
Cavendish nodded: "For several

voice. "He must have been struck

the object-cold- blooded robbery. You
heard nothing during the night?"

wire and began talking.

CHAPTER II.
Mr.. Enright Declares Himself.

One month AFTER the CdyenQlSu muir
der and two days after he had dis
patched a casual, courteous note to
John Cavendish requesting that he
call, Mr.. Patrick Enright, of Enright
and Dougherty, sat in his private office
on the top floor of the Collander baild-
ing in Cortlandt stree. waiting for the
youths appearance. Since young
Cavendish had consulted him before
in minor matters, Mr.. Enright had ex-
pected that he would call voluntarily
soon after the murder, but in this he
was disappointed. Realizing that
Broadway was very dear to the young
man, Enright had made allowances,
until, weary of waiting, he decided to
get into the game himself and to this
end had dispatched the note. to which
Cavendish had replied both by tele-
phone, and note.
'sHe ought to be Eere now" muir
INJURED Mr. Enright sweetly, looking at
his watch, and soon the expected WISH
tor was ushered in. Arising to his
feet the attorney extended moist,
pudgy hand.
"Quite prompt, John" he greeted.
'sTake the chair there-and pardon me
for a moment"
AS the youth complied Enright open
ed the door, glanced into the outer
room, and gave orders not to be dis
turbed for the next half-hour. Then,
drawing in his head. he closed the
door and turned the key.
"John," he resumed smoothly, II
| have been somewhat surprised that
you failed to consult me earlier re-
garding the will Of your late cousin
Frederick.
"His-his will :" John leaned for
ward amazed, as he stared into the
others expressionless face. "Did-did
he leave one?"
sob! that's it," the attorney
chuckIed. "You didn't know about it.,
did you? How odd. On the night of
his death drew up his will. Incident
ally, am the only one living aware
that such will was drawn. You see
| my position?"
Young Cavendish didn't; this was
all strange, confusing.
"The WILL" resumed Mr.. Enright,
.'was drawn in proper form and duly
witnessed"
"There can't be such will. None
was found"
POSSIBLY not" said Enright with
quiet, sinister gravity. 1T was probably
destroyed and it was to gain posses
sion of the will that Frederick Caven-
dish was killed"
John leaped to his feet, his face
bloodless: "My God" he muttered
aghast, ''do you mean to say"
'Sit down, John; this is no cause for
| quarrel. Now listen. I am not ac-
cusing you of crime; not intentional
crime. at least. If an accident happen

Prest-O-Lite Sets
 Fast Pace for All
 Motor Car Makers

The national reputation for integri- ty of the Prest-O-Lite Co.,, of h. dianapolis has led motorists all over the country to adopt the Prest-O-Lite Green Seal Battery without question as the leading battery Of the day. Always setting the pace of advanced motor car engineering, the Prest-O- Lite Company has even exceeded its past performances in the introducing of this new battery which has created q furore wherever introduced. Its success was instantaneous and d brilliant future is predicted for it.
 The Prest-C-Lite Co. is the oldest service to automobile owners in America, and Is recognized as one or the leading exponent of modern auto mobile equipment. It was the Prest- O-Lite Co that made night driving way back in the early days by in troducing the PrestO-Lite acetylene planted the very unsatisfactory car bide lamps which were then the only means. of illumination for automo- piles. When electric equipment was first thought of, the PrestO-Lite Co was one of the first to place q sat isfactory battery on the market, which was regarded as the standard of the industry until the recently in troduced Green Seal Battery made it's appearance. It is said that this new departure in battery making is as much an improvement of the present type of battery as the acetylene lights were over the carbide lamp.
 McKoy and Kinmore, local repre- sentatives of the Prest-O-Lite Co.,, having only recently received their initial shipment of. Green Seal Bat teries, are authority for the state ment that no accessory in their ex- perience has created so much interest and that there is a constant stream of interested motorists in their shop to examine this epoch-making bat tery. Many sales have resulted and it is expected that they will be kept busy trying to accommodate their greatly increased business.
