What's Your Time Worth?

WHEN you go to buy pair Of boots, can
w of peas or kitche n cabinet, do you know
exactly what you want-or do you shop
around and take pot luck?
You can save many an hours time and
many good hard dollar-by knowing before
hand what you want, where to get it, and ap-
proximately how much it will COST
You can always know this much before you
enter store.
If it's clothing, you know how we'll it should
wear and what the style should be- If it's q
musical instrument, you know what to expect
in tone and workman ship. If it's a carpet
sweeper, you know what kind of service it
should give.
Merchants with established regulations for
honesty are the best with whom to DEAL
Merchandise with established reputation is
the best to buy.
The only way to be sure of the goods you
buy is to read the advertisements in this paper
regularly. AS a practice it's far better than
rummaging around.
It saves time. It saves money.

travelled up. 1t reached the top, and
rested there, fixed and steady. Framed
In the middle Of 1t, peering over the
edge, was a little hairless, brown face,
holding what looked like a tube In its
mouth. Hugh had one glimpse Of
dark, skinny hand putting something
In the tube, and then he switched off
the torch and ducked, just as another
fly plnged over his head and hit the
wall behind.
One thing, at any rate, was certain:
the other occupant Of the room was
human, and with that realization all
his nerve returned. There would be
time enough later on to find out how
he got there, and what those strange
pinglng noises had been caused by.
Just at that moment only one thing
was on the program; and without a
sound he crept round the bed toward
the cupboard, to put that one thing in
to effect in his usual direct manner.
Twice did he hear the little whis-
thing hiss from above, but nothing sang
past his head. Evidently the man had
lost him. and was probably still aim
ing at the door. And then, with hands
that barely touched 1t, he felt the out
lines of the cupboard.
1t was standing an inch or two from
the wall, and he slipped his fingers be-
hind the back on one side. He lis
tened for moment, but no movement
came from above; then, half facing the
wall, he put one leg against 1t. There
was one quick, tremendous heave: a
crash which sounded deafening: then
silence. And once again he switched
on his torch.
Lying on the floor by the window
was one Of the smallest men he had
ever seen. He was a native Of sorts,
and Hugh turned him over with his
foot He was quite unconscious, and
the bump on his head, where II had
hit the floor. was rapidly swelling to
the size of a large orange. In his
hand he still clutched the little tube,
and Hugh gingerly removed 1t. Placed
In position at one end was q long
splinter of wood, with a sharpened
point: and by the light of his torch
Hugh saw that 1t was family dis
colored with some brown stain.
He usaa still ayamininu n with In

switched on the electric light; then he
opened the door.
An excited night-porter rushed In,

Hugh pleasantly. lighting a cigarette.
"Tf it's all the same to you. I wish
you'd remove him. He was-ah-find-

II appeared that the night-porter
could speak English: II also appeared
that the lady occupying the room be-
low had rushed forth demanding to
be led to the basement. under the mis-
Apprehension that war had again been
declared and the Germans were bomb
