COKE

IL GAL strikes have brought coke
IL into household use where once
- it was used almost exclusively
in manufacturing. Many household
ers have found it an acceptable sub
stitute for coal and continue to use
1t even when coal can be had.
Coke is made from coal. The
United States Government collected
figures showing that for every dollar
he core manufacturer receives, he
pays = cents for materials. IS cents
for Tabor and has left l6 cents for
his profit ana overhead including
taxes.
When coal rises coke is made more
expensive. Thus 10 per cent in
crease In materials would add IL
cents to every dollar the manu-
fatturer charges. A 10 per cent
wage Increase would add 1.3 cents.

seems to go wrong.
In such cases, dOnot take mere stimulating

The girl at the cigar counter smiled at Carnahan, but it was a spiked smile. She was as full of business as of good looks.

 Carnahan grinned and tossed her half a dollar picking up the shiny metal cylinder.

 "Toodle oo," said Carnahan, feeling for his room key.
 The elevetor operator bowed as he entered a waiting car; the elderly gentlewoman floor clerk smiled and wished him good afternoon. He had way with him. had Carnahan Young, too, and figure for good clothes.
 He slipped his key into the lock of his door now, and with quick movement turned key and doorknob simultaneously. The door swung si- lently. on oiled hinges. Carnahan SAW a man lounging in the window opposite.
 A gust of wind, caused by the draft of dhe opened door alarmed the man at the window, who swung suddenly, reaching for his gun. But Carnahan was upon him in two leaps, knocking the gun from tingling fingers with a crack across the knuckles and order ling him to stick 'em up."

 "Probly the guy that lifted the pearls from four eightytwo " he suggested.
 Carnahan smiled.
 "All I know is found him in my room. Might be-"
 The fat man opened his mouth to speak. but closed it and grimmaced in pain. He would almost IS soon be shot as poked to death.
 The car stopped at the lobby floor.
 "Ill call the house cop." said the boy, but Carnahan, reaching him with a long arm, held him back
 No. I'll call the house cop" he in the cage. He can't get out. Step out yourself. and shut the door. That's the idea. Now. wait here and watch till I bring the house cop"
 He stepped forward briskly, looking about the lobby, as if searching for familiar face. But his search was short. for immediately two men, who had occupied lounge chairs facing the elevators, sprang up. advanced upon him, and grabbed him, each by an arm.
 'Nery neat. Carnahan,"' said the el- der of the two. who seemed to be In command. Boy. let that officer out of the cage. Very neat. Carnahan. very. very neat, and you might have gotten away with it. but we were taking no chances. If you'd stopped to SC that your father cream, with Mrs. Vanderkirk's s pearls buried in the bottom of it, had been taken from the glass shelf over your wash bowl, you might have-what's this?"

 He grabbed the mans fat arm with hls left hand, and led him out Of the room, walking sideways and prod ding him on the back.
 What the-you can't" the man was sputtering with rage.
 Ihatll be about all," said Carna- han What l want from you is sil- ence. Step along"
 They passed the elderly gentle woman who sat at the desk near the elevator.
 "Roonf' 'thief,'* said Carnahan, out of the side of his mouth.
 It's damned-here, lady. let me explain"
 But Carnahan was prodding him again. and he gave up the idea of ex- blaming.

 Carnahan poked his man harder and he swore. The bronze doors of an elevator swung wide and Carna- han pushed his charge into the cage.

am afraid there is one girl in Biar- ritz who thinks the Americans are a queer lot; for, as soon as l heard them talking on the other side of that portiere, l sadly neglected the young lady seated on my right, and concentrated my entire attention on overhearing what was said by Mrs. Powell. l have no apologies to offer for eavesdropping. l was at this party for purpose only-to catch this woman mapping and eavesdrop- ping was justifiable under the cir iumstanceS.
 I heard Mrs. Powell ask Lieutenant Jones whether he was returning to his regiment by the way of Paris, and upon his replying that he in tended to stop over there two days she said:
 AS you are going to Paris, Lieu tenant Jones, I would appreciate it if you would do me a great favor. I know it is not supposed to be done, but you will do it for me, l am sure. My husband has sent me some deeds to be signed, and l must return them to our bankers in Switzerland. Al ready there has been a sad delay, as the French mails are slow. My funds depend upon my returning these papers quickly. If you would please take them, censor them for me, and mail them in your American post office in Paris, 1t would save me a great deal of embarrassment An other favor-I should like to keep our pleasant acquaintance. Will you write me once in a while, and if by chance you should be located any where near my husband while on the front, I will have him look you up. And then after this war is over. l should like to have you visit our home in England"
 Orders are orders, and it was a court martial offense to mark let ter as censored unless the officer had read it. But this letter was already sealed and who would suspect such charming woman? Besides, 1t was so trifling return for all the pleas to a poor lieutenant who was far from home--and-the lieutenant dis Cbeyed orders for the woman and promised to send the letter on.
 The time arrived for the lieuten-
 ants departure. and we all went over to the station to see him off. Just as the rtain pulled out, Mrs. Powell, in bidding the lieutenant | good by, once more captioned him | to remember tC mail the letter as soon as he reached Paris. These fare wells always had a depressing effect on those left behind, and as it was a delightful moonlight night. some one
