Letter from Leslie Prescott to Mrs
 Joseph Graves Hamilton.
 Dear Mother:
 l am awfuly worried over what you have written me about father. If you think it will ease his mind any I will try and persuade Jack to send Mrs. Atherton back to him for a while.
 Poor -old dad! He ought to have every bit of worry and responsibility taken off his shoulders now.
 I could not help smiling, mother dear, that Alice intended to have such a big wedding. Do you remenl- Der that morning when she came in and bawled me out because 1 was go- ing to have a large wedding? Said her idea was to go to the city hall and have the mayor do it.
 She told me when I was In New York that she didn't want to live in this country after she had married Karl, but, mother, I wouldn't worry about that very much. 1 think we are apt to put too much stress upon

 "Oh as soon asthey get home, the, will work their magic and be al l right" Raggedy Ann said. Ragsedy Any said, You see, bott witches have some very magica | charms!"
 "Oh, l tell you what you might do l Raggedy Ann!" the nice poor man said. You might work magic on the witches charms and have the charms come here to you; then you would have their charms and they could not work magic on you."
 "No!' Rasgedy Ann laughed. That would not work, for you see, their charms belong to them, not 10 me and as they are very powerful charms the magic l might work with my lit- tie red magic book would not be strong enough to overcome the witches magic.'
 But we could change the charms so that they would not work any thing but good magic, couldn't we, Raggedy Ann?" Raggedy Andy wished to know.
 Maybe we can if we both work together and you read from the little green magic book while read from the little red magic book"
 Let us try it!" Raggedy Andy said. T will hunt for the right page while you hunt for the right page in your book, then when we are ready we will both read at once."
 So this is just what the Raggedys did and when they had finished read ing they put their magic books back In their pockets.
 "There!" Raggedy Ann said. q nope that does it. And that we shall sot be bothered with the witches chasing us again."
 It was a good thing the Raggedys bought of changing the charms of linga and Munga witch, for while the aaggedys were doing this, the two after rubbing magic medi- inc in their bumps, said to each ther.

Why the Masked Dancer stirred
 Alaiige's Memory.


 t was not until almost the elos'
 of the dance which the masked cabaret performers were giving iha
 realized the eauiNoeation in tn, comment Harry Underwood had mad, concerning them,
 He had said that he was mistaken in thinking he recognized one ol them. At first accepted this state ment at its face value and turned my attention, as apparently did he 10 the main course Of our dinner, q daintly served. delicious combination of seafoods surrounding delicately broiled squab.
 It was when 1 noticed that my escort, usually famous treneher- man. was only lallying with his food, that l began to wonder why. Watching him furiNely, l saw, that he in turn was scrutinizing the dancers. And something almost in- tangible In his manner told me that his espionage was tinged with some- thing very like uneasiness.
 Tho discovery was akin 10 that Of suddenly finding some rancid taste in the food being served to us. knew, of course. In vague way that Harry Underwood was no little tin> god" to use one of his own phrases and that he was the hero or villain of many a questionable adventure l readily could believe. But the ap- prehension which he was trying so hard to conceal brought home to me the fact that probably in the room with mo, separated by only the width of the tables, was some woman from his hectic past whose rancor he had reason to fear.
 I told myself that the furious anger which suddenly swept me at this thought was due to my drcac of any kind of scene fostered by the chronicles of any day, l with their stories of impromptu sordid, played in cabaret settings. 1
 Harry Changes Tables. |
 But something deep within me i. protested against this equivocation and, barring my soul rclentlessly to my own gaze, told mo that wounded feminine vanity and resentment a. having anything distract my escorts attention from me contributed as much to my anger as did my dread )f scene.
 Mir. Underwood suddenly beckoned 70 a passing waiter.
 "The air is stifing at this table," ,e said "Pleasc see that our next ,ourse is served at that one over here" He indicated table near one Of he entrances from which two diners were departing. It was not nearly o desirable a place as the one he :, ust had belittled, and had sud- cn conviction that the reason he ad given for changing was but a ubterfuge, and that the real reason adj its roots in his furtive espionage !. f the masked dancers. ~ "l will see about it. sir. at once," lc waiter answered, and sped away 1r a consultation with his superior Our own waiter, with an attendant i, Glnibus, materialized within the A ext minute and before three more u inutes had passed, we were en- n .onced at the other table after Is splay of fussiness ~concerning the t] of our chairs utterly [ reign to Harry Underwood.

Now, I had made no definite plan.
 Suddenly it occurred to me that
 even if the White Eagle and his com
 panion descended the Anderson steps
 carrying the fruits of crime in their
 hands, it would be no easy matter
 for me to deprive them of those
 fruits. After all, l was no highway
 man; relied on wit and surprise for
 my success Why, then. was l turk
 ing in this areaway? Before I an-
 swcred this question. tried to put
 myself in the White Eagles place.
 He had cultivated Anderson's ac-
 quaintance for the purpose of rob-
 ping the millionaire. That robbery
 must occur tonight or be indefinitely | postponed. It would be a robbery of f1nesse and subtlety; the White Eagle
 would not resort to violence save in
 the last extremity. Now, if the
 robbery were one of violence. the
 White Eagles departure from Ander- sons house would be a pellmell af- fair. Into such an affair I would not thrust myself
 On the other hand, if finesse and subtlety won the battle, the two criminals would leave their host in leisurely fashion. In that case. | where would they go?
 l could not believe that the White Eagle had brought with him many of his Parisian followers To do so would be to court suspicion. The French police keep in fairly close touch with the detective bureaus of other countries. It might be pos- sible for the White Eagle and one or two companions to slip quietly out of France without attracting notice. But if he took many of his followers with him, he would be running an risk
 It was fair to assume then, that { in this American venture of his, he ( was working practically alone-in f which case he would not have many , iifferent rendezvous where he and his followers could meet. Also. the White Eagle, like any great general and he was that-prcpared in ad- 'ance Tor defeat. He would not wish o flee bindly in the event of yic- ory; and in case of defeat it would lot perhaps be necessary to flee. In other words, if the White Eagle did lot succeed in robbing Anderson. he would return quietly to the house which he had rented. And if he sue eeded in robbing the millionaire, he would probably return to that house, n his stay of several months in New ork he must have acquired certain hings of value and of bulk. which he would wish to take with him in the vent of flight. And probably, un- uestionably, if I knew the man, he 'ould accomplish his purpose so ubtly that he would have start of t least an hour or two before his rime was discovered.
 Having no followers here to guard ther rendezvous, it was almost in- vltable that he would return to his ouse. was cooling my heels to no urpose here.
 So l went to the side street on hich the White Eagle lived. Ar we'd in the neighborhood of his ouse. and following the same train

INVENTS NEW TRUSS
New Discovery Heals Rupture
Without An Operation

Kansas City, Mo-, (Special)-A
new discovery which, experts agree,
has no equal for curative effects in
all rupture cases, is the latest ac-
complishment of the well-known Her
MIA Specialist, DIR. Andrews, 75-H
Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. The
extraordinary success of this new
method poves that it holds and heals
a rupture. 1t weighs only a few
ounces. Has no hard gouging pad, no
elastic belt, no leg strap, no steel
bands, and is as comfortable as light
garment. 1t has enabled hundreds of
pesons to throw away trusses and de-
clare their rupture absolutely healed.
Many of these had serious double rup-
lures, from which they had suffered
for years. 1t is DIR. Andrews ambi-
tion to have every ruptured person en-
joy the quick relief, comfort and
healing power of his discovery, and he
will send it ON free trial to any reader
of this paper, who writes him. He
wants one person in each neighbOr.
hood to whom he can refer. If you

FIRE INSURANCE RATES

Another reason which makes IL
possible to enjoy lower insurance
rates as the years go by is the gradu-
ally improving character of the build
ings being erected and the more in
telligent handling and distribution of
their contents by the occupants. Low
er rates are the logical result of i'm
proved conditions which reduce the
hazards, making the business of fire
insurance less hazardous, a condition
which the companies are always will
ling to recognize by reduced rates.
1t is not within the province of
fire insurance companies to order,
dictate to, or direct the municipal au-
thorities as to what is necessary for
the better protection of the c0mmun-
ity. 1t is the privilege, and it may be
said the duty, of the Supervisors, the
Council or whatever form of city,
town or county government may be
in effect, to present forcefully to the
citizens of any every political division
of the state the need for adequate
protection, and to use the money pro-
vided by the citizens for the purpose
in a way to secure the maximum re-
suit. The companies, through their
cooperative organizations, must take
conditions as they find them and
measure the hazards as they exist, in
order to establish fair and equitable
rate for the liability assumed under
an insurance policy.
The engineers, surveyors and in
spectors in the employ of these coop
erative organizations are constantly
engaged in pointing out the fire dam
gers apparent to them, both in the
community at large and in the indi-
vidual proIfarties their suggestions
are valuable, their advice is free and
when followed the danger of fire is
materially lessened. 1t is not out of
place, therefore, to repeat that given
the factors of a well protected and
wei | governed community, coupled
with well constructed buildings, care
fully installed machinery, and gen.
eral condition of care and cleanliness
maintained, the companies have
more desirable class of business on
their books and are not only willing
but anxious to join hands with the
community and substantially recOg
nize improved conditions through re-
duced rates, indicating that it is very
largely within the power of the peo-
pie of any community to determine
the cost of their fire insurance pro-
lection. That community which en-
