-Cubby the Bear.

Farmer Brown, Mother Brown and Farmer Browns Boy ate their breakfast, and while they were eat ing 1t discussed plans for catching Cubhy. the mischievous little Bear Vho was up on top of the house. You will remember that Farmer Browns Boy had placed a ladder for Cubby to come down and had tempted him with cookies But Cubby had refused to come down. That ladder was so placed that as Farmer Browns Boy sat at the breakfast table he could keep an eye on the ladder He had left the cookies a little way out from the ladder. IL would be impossible for Cuhby to come down that ladder and not be seen.
 After breakfast Farmer Browns Boy went out. He looked toward 'hc place where he had left the cook les. The cookies were not there. He rubbed his eyes twice 10 make sure. Now. from where he lad sat at the table he could watch the ladder, but he couldn't See the cookies, He hadn't thought f. nee essary 10 watch the cookies as well as the ladder. Now that tha cook ies were gone he didn't know what 10 make Of it
 Tt must be that 2 stray dog 'oa come into the yard and eaten those cookies" said Farmer Browns Eoy as he walked over 10 fhn am,fl dish. Close to that dish he found a little soot. You should have son his eyes open 'hon. He turned and looked up at Inc roof Nowhre could he soc anything of Cuhhv Perhaps h. Was behind rra rrtm- neY.

Al first Vance had looked over tho room lncuriousIy and watched the proceedings with bored apathy; but during Heati1's brief questioning oi his suhCrdinates an expression of cynical amusement had appeared on his face. Following a few goncr- q queries to Assistant District Al iornoy Din"iddie, he had sauntered. with apparent aimlessness. about the room, looking at the rarious ar ticles and occasionally shifting his gaze back and forth between differ ent pieces Of furniture. At length he had stopped down and inspected the mark made by the bullet on the wainscot; and once he had gone 10 the door and looked up and down the hall.
 The only thing that had seemed 10 hold his attention 10 any extent Was the body itself He had stood heforo if for several minutes, studv- Ing Its position. and had even bent over the ontstrctched arm on the table as if 10 see jus, how the dead mans hand was holding the book.

| After d CdsUa! inspection Of the gloves, Markham opened the hand | bag and turned it's contents out onto the table. I came forward and look cd on, but Vance remained in his chair, placidly smoking a cigaret,
 The hand bag was of fine gold mesh with q catch set with small sa apphires. II was unusually small, and obviously designed only for evening wear. The objects which it had held, and which Markham vas now inspecting. consisted of 9 flat watcred-silk cjgaret-case, a small gold phia Of Roger and Gal lets Fleurs d'Amour perfume, q cloisonGe Yanity-compact. q short Gclicate cigarot- holder of inlaid amber, a gold -casod lip-stick, 8 small embroidered F'rench-linen handherchie with M. S e." monogrammed in the corner, and q Yale latch-hey.
 This ought 10 give us 2 good lead" said Markham. Indicating the handkerchief "l spnpose you went over the articles carefully, Sergeant
 Heath nodded.
 "Tos; and l imagine the has be- longs 10 tho woman Benson was out with last night. Tn" housekeeper told me h" had an appointment and went out to dinner in his dress clothes. Shc didn't hear Benson when he came back. though Any way. we ought to be able 10 run down Miss M. St.C.' without much trouhlc.'
 Markham h9d taken up the clgaret-casc again, and as he held it upside down 2 ntto shower Of loose dried tobacco fell onto the table.
 Heath stood up suddenly.
 "Maybe those cigarets came out of that case" he suggested. He picked up inc intact butt and looked at it. "It's a lady's cigaret, all right. It looks as though it might havc been smoked in a hold CT. too.'
 "I hog to differ with you. Scr geant." draw!ca Vance. "You'll for give me. I'm sure. But there's bit of lip rouge on the end of the cifarct. Us hard 10 sec. on ac- count of the gold tip"
 Heath looked at Vance sharply; Ee was too much surprised 10 be resontful. After q closer inspec- tion Of the cgaret, he turned again 10 Vance
 "Perhsrs you could also tell us from these tobacco grains, if the cigarets came from this case,' he suggested. with Gruff irony.
 "One never knows. does one?" Vance replied, indolently rising.
 Picking up the case, he pressed it wil" open, and tapped il on the table. Then ne looked into f close ly, and q humorous amii" tWitched the corners Of his month. Putting his forcfingcr deep into the case, he drew out q small cicarct which had evidently been Wcdgcd flat along the bottom Of the pocket.

 Heath grinncd good-naturedly.
 That's one on us, Mir. Mark- ham" And he carefully put the cigaret and the stub in an envelope, which he marked and pockcted.
 ~You now see. Vance," observed Markham. "the importance Of those cigaret butts"
 Cant say that I do,' responded the other. "Ot what possible value is cisaret butt? You cant smoke t, y know"

RADIO WILL SUPPLY
HOMES WITH POWER
Architect Predicts New Methods Of
Lighting and Heating
Houses.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, March 10 up.
The radio. through which the Amer
lean hove receives a big share of its
entertainment, some day may bring
heat and light to these same homes.
Such was the prediction yesterday
OF Edwin l.. Howard, New York archi-
tect, after an address before the Amer
lean Homes National Congress.
1t is only a matter of years." Mr..
Howard said, until we will be able
to send power by wireless. This
power will be supplied by a general
company large enough to supply all
the homes.
Electric power by wireless will be
drawn on by every home, Just as
water from a single plant supplies all
the homes in the large cities.''
In support of his belief Mr.. Howard
pointed out that boats and airplanes
now may. be controlled by electricity
and added: Wireless heated and
lighted homes are the only solution
to the smoke and dirt which now
makes city life unpleasant"
The old-time American home Is
vanishing, in the opinion of Gen.
III. M. Lord, director of the budget
at Washington. I'VE are born in a
maternity ward; reared by nurse:
educated by governess, and then
sent to a boarding school. Later we
are married in a church, eat in a
cafeteria, get our recreation from the
movies, die in a hospital and are
buried from a mortuary chapel"

radio sets in the 40 institutions. The
remaining 5000 is needed to pay ex-

The sets which the committee wants
