look at-the- one who's goin' to the

With one 1.-THE movement Clay swung
down to the floor. He sauntered for
ward to the grating, his level gaze on
the ward boss.
"Shiny, this fellows rotten" he said
| evenly and impersonally. He's not
only crook, but he's crooked crook.
He'd throw down his own brother If it

Durand's cruel lips laughed. "YOur

the bulls got him right. It's the DEATH

Clay leaned against the bars negli-
gently. He spoke with touch of lazy
scOrn. "See those scars on his face,
Shiny-the one on the cheek bone and
the other above the eye. Ask him where
he got 'em and how?"
Jerry cursed. He broke into storm
of threats, anger sweeping over him
In furious gusts. He had come to
make sport Of his victim and Lindsay
somehow took the upper hand Mt once.
He had this fellow where he wanted
him at last. Yet the mans soft voice
still carried the note Of easy contempt.
If the Arizonan was afraid, he gave no
least sign of 1t.

If he could. That information gained.
the man no longer interested him.
Sullenly Jerry left. There was no
profit In jeering at Lindsay. He was
too entirely master Of every situation
that confronted him.
Within the hour Clay was wakened
from sleep by another guard with word
that he was wanted at the office of the
warden. He found waiting him there

unbearably. He paced up and down
the room chewing nervously the end of
an unlt cigar. For the good tidings
which he was anxious to hear was
news of the death of the strong young
enemy who had beaten him at every
turn.
Why didn't Collins get to the tele-
phone2 Was II possible that there had
been a slip-up, that Lindsay had again
broken the trap set for him? Had
"Slim's" nerve failed him? Or had
BrOmfleld been unable to bring the VIC
tim to the slaughter?
His mind went over the detailstagain.
The thing had been well planned even
to the unguarded door through which
Collins was to escape. In the darkness
"Slim" could do the job, make his get
away along with Dave, and be safe
from any chance of Identification.
BrOmfield, 10 save his own hide, would
keep still. If he didn't, Durand was
prepared to shift the murder upon his
shoulders.
The mlnute-hand Of the watch passed
down from the quarter to the half and
from the half to the three-quarters.
Still the telephone bell did not ring.

enemy. He passed to and fro among
those who had been arrested In the

some of them to suit his case. More

housewives always loosen the
dirt by letting the clothes soak
before they start washing.
With the ordinary soaps, this
helped a little but there was still
a lot of rubbing TO be done.
Rinse, an entirely new kind of
soap, loosens and dissolves every
bit of dirt, without the slightest
injury TO the clothes. Soak your
clothes an hour or more in
Rinse and the dirt rinses right
out, all but the most stubborn
places and those need only a
light rubbing.
Rinse is the only soap you

Local Advertising.

editors that he devoted five per cent Of

ments. but il needs some explaining.
Filene deyotes a little over two per
cent 10 newspaper advertising, the
balance going ins window display
and other forms Of direct and indirect
appeal to the public, so il is hardly
fair to say that local advertisers ought
to devote five per cent of their revenues
to newspaper advertising.
The chances are. however that they
can do better than two per cent and
do IL ~proftably. The large sums

Are You Eating Coarser Breads?

Are we getting back 70 the old habit
of eating only white bread? During
the period of wheat saving we ate the
coarser breads and liked some of them
and felt better for eating them.
Especially at this time Of the year
which is enervating, however much We
like the warm spring days. we should
be careful to eat the kind of food
which will keep us fit. The first thing
to give a thought to is bread.
Bread forms a part Of every meal,
and at least once a day we ought to
serve the kind that win give us not
only mineral but bulk as we'll, saws the
Rutland Herald. Whole wheat and
graham breads will do this, bran muf-
fms, and bread containing oat -four.
Do you know Swedish bread? 1t is
baked in fiat round pieces and is made
from pure graham -four with oats and
bran. III is more like a cracker than
like bread and is delicious with soup or
with salad. If you are trying to lose
weight do not put butter on it. If you
want TO increase your weight cat it
with a generous amount of butter.
Swedish bread comes in packages or
boxes. The pieces look like Victrola
r~ecords-they are about the same shape
and size and have a hole in the middle.
They are crisp. and if kept in a dry
place will be good for many days. If
they do become limp they can be
freshencd IN a warm oven.
