TO freshen up old summer hats so
that they will do for another seasons
wear, the following methods are re-
To bleach leghorns, mi
lans or any white straw hats, mix the
juice of 2 lemons with 4 r. Sulphur.
Cover the hat thoroughly with this
paste, let 1t dry in the sun, and after
1t is thoroughly dried, brush the dry
powder off with a stiff brush and the
will be as good as new.
Straw hats of all kinds may be
.freshened up and reshaped. Leghorns
may be cleaned by rubbing with a
cloth dampened in wood alcohol. or
may be cleaned by rubbing in white
cornmeal, which has been soaked in
benzine. Allow this to dry and then
brush 1t off. A leghorn hat that is
very sunbuTnt or soiled can be chang
ed to a soft yellow by immersing it in
a strong solution of soda water for
a few minutes. Remove from water
and wipe, then press under a clean
white cloth until dry.

CHAPTER XVIII
Confession.


When Wilton was arrested Kitty had
been stunned by the news. She had
made frantic attempts to see aim, but
without success.
Kitty, knew on what the charge was
built, and the consciousness that VIII
tons freedom could only be purchased
by her confession caused her an
agony of shame and fear. Yet she
would have purchased Wilton's free
dom even OF the cost of that hvmilia-
zion, had she moi known that she must
inevitably lose him. Instinctively she
realized that treachery was the one
sin that he would never condone.
AT last, when she could bear 1t no
longer, she resolved to 90 to see Bow
yer. She left secretly, at an early hour
n morning, and reached Cold juno
ton a little before noon.
AT the same hour Bowyer was
seated In the office of his house there.
Facing him across the desk Was Clark,
the manager of the Bank of New
North Manitoba at Clayton.

stormed. 81 won't answer it. Nor will

just what you're willing TO stand. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
bonds, which I'll specify, and fifty
thousand in cash."
Bower went white. Clark Ind
gagged his limit exactly. The two men
eyed each other In silence for a few
seconds. Then Bowyer caDitulated.
"Your talents are wasted here" he
said. I'm take you up on that, AMI
I'll be able to employ you to better
advantage after the first of the year.
You're not afraid of a check 2"
"Not in the least" said Clark.

He took the check and sauntered
out of the house. When he was gone
Bowyer gave way to one Of his mad
RACES. He called up Phayre and
damned him. He stamped up and down
the office: and in the middle of 1t his
man announced Kitty.
