CHAPTER XIV
The Now Parlor Maid

Aimee, sitting in the morning sun
light near the mouth of her burrow,
heard rustling among the bushes
and at once dived back into shelter.
Presently there was a soft whistle,
which she answered. Mr.. William
Spencer parted the brambles very qul-
city and entered the cave.

He clicked his heels together and
touched his cap.

he said grinning. Got a new job.

"What"
Billy sat down beside her and made
his report. Aimee heard It, at first,
with the air Of Desdemona listening
to Othello. Then she rolled on the
sand in helpless spasms Of laughter.

He drove at furious pace till, turn
ing into the park he approached the
abbey and drew up at the side en-
trance. The door stood open, and Mr..
Tarbeaux, seeing the car, came out as
Amy descended.
"Miss Snooksr' he asked patro0iz-
ingly.
YES" said Aimee shyly.
Mr.. Tarbeaux stared. In spite Of the
screwed hair and the print skirt, he
had never seen such q vision OF
beauty at Jervaulx.
"Her ladyshIp wished to zee you I'M
mediately you arrived. This way"
He strobe before her through the
corridor into the great hall, past the
suit Of armor with which he had col
lided In the gloom Of the past dread
full night. Now, however, Mr.. Tar
beaux was himself again. There was
a CLEAN of appreciation In his somber
eyes. -
He opened the door Of tho wide
South room, where Lady Erythea sat
erect before the FIRE, knitting. She
did not turn her head.
'The young person, my lady, said
Mr.. Tarbeaux softly.

Billy. whats her Manner

"Snooks was the name you told me-"
said Mr.. Lambe.

to Billy. "That will preclude all pos

She rang for the butler, and gave
him an order. Mr.. Tarbeaux and Billy

LOCKS ON DOORS A PUZZLE
on Having Locks Through

1t has long been a question with
architects why people should have
loors throughout the house SO COM
oletely equipped with locks. Why.
For example, should all the closet and
bedroom doors have locks? Did you
ever lock your bedroom door? Prob
IDLY not. 1t may be desirable to put
ocks on closet doors. Do not put a
lock on a door just because 1t Is a
ioor. Perhaps, after all, you will
never lock it.. At any event, a bolt
)r a thumb turn will serve all the
purposes Of a lock and you will not
nave a key to look after.
However, 1t should be said that q

ONION Is effective
CURE FOR pneumonia
Simple Remedy Formulated Many
Years Ago Is Unearthed.

The old argument as to whether the
onion Is an undesirable citizen seems
likely to be decided In the negative,
now that somebody has discovered that
a diabetes cure turks somewhere
alongside the smell. The onion has
other good qualities. 1t Is effective In
curing or preventing pneumonia, said
the health board Of Washington. N. J..
The formula, as 1t appeared In the
papers Of Washington, Is as follows:
Take six to ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in a large
spider over a hot fire. then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vinegar.
enough to form a thick paste. In the
meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly, letting 1t
simmer FIVE or ten minutes. Then put
in q cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs and apply to chest as hot as
patient can bear. In about ten min
utes apply another, and thus continue
by relocating the poultices, and In a
few hours the patient will be out OF
danger. This simple remedy has never
failed to cure this too-often fatal NAL
ady. Usually three or four applica-
lions will be sufficient. but continue
always until the perspiration starts
freely from the chest. This remedy
was formulated many years ago by one
of the best physicians New England
has we known, who never lost a pa
tient by this disease and won his re
nown by simple remedies"

The fumes of burning sulphur are
recommended as a remedy under some
conditions. They readily destroy the
Insect in all stages, including the egg.
There is, however, some risk Of injury
to hangings, wall papers and fabrics
from the strong bleaching quality of
sulphur fumes. Formalin gas and
the vapors of benzine. napthaline and
camphor, which are sometimes used,
are Of little value and insect powders
are not effective because they do not
get into crevices.
Best Simple Control Method.
The best simple method of control
is a liberal application Of benzine,
kerosene or gasoline, introduced with
small feathers or brushes or injected
with syringes into all crevices of beds.
furniture or walls where the insects
might be concealed. The Dashboard
and picture molding OF the room
should be given attention and also the
backs of pictures. Corrosive sublimate
and oil of turpentine may also be used
in this way. Many Of the commercial
remedies offered for sale contain one
another Of these ingredients. Hot
water will destroy both bugs and eggs
if it can be used without damaging the
furniture.
