His fears We're allayed somewhat by
the comforting thought, that Helen
was as capable and keen-witted as she
was reckless and audacious. She was
what the Phantom termed a thorough

subtlety, and on several occasions she
had evinced an amazing capacity for

she had a robust vitality and an ath-

to the coffee house on Catherine street.
At corner newsstand he bought an
evening paper, glancing at the head

of the housekeeper was given glaring
prominence because of the general be-
lief that it had been perpetrated by the
Gray Phantom. I'D
The motives ascribed to him were
somewhat sketchy, but the police
seemed convinced that he was bent on
campaign of terror, and there was
anxious speculation as to where his
blood stained hand would appear next.
In the meantime. the search was be-

detective bureau expected to make an
important announcement within few

The Phantom smiled as he read. He

pointing in that direction. One thing
had been accomplished. however, was
his reflection as he walked down the
stairs. He had eliminated DR. Binable
from the range of his suspicious and
would waste no more time and effort
trying to explain the eccentricities OF

Deciding to leave the way he had
entered. he crossed4the laboratory and
moved toward the stairs. With his

and once more let his electric torch

without exactly knowing why. he

was berating himself for bothering his

ears and listened, but he could detect

he was not alone, that anothen being
was lurking somewhere in the dark
ness. 1t was a familiar sensation and
he had learned to heed its warning,
for he had experienced it before in mo-
ments Of danger.
He stepped down on the floor, at
the same instant reaching for the
pistol he had taken from Dan the
Dope. Before he could draw the weap-

Transportation.

This is the season for automobile
shows. and that means that the
woman of the family is ordering
her personal transport" to be de-
livered in the Spring. Nowadays al
most all motors are good, ana me-
chanical knowledge is not essential
To a wise purchase. One can trust
the experience of friends for that
information.
Price is g. woman's first considera.
ton. She should decide in which
price class her car is included, and
make her choice from the cars IN
that class. She must also decide
upon how she Is going to pay for the
car. so that her payment in full. or
installment payments, can be mace
without difficulty.
Before choosing any type or car
the shopper should take into consid-
Grafton climatic conditions in her 10.
cality. traffic conditions, what season
al use she will make of the car and
the special needs of her family. In
some localities an open car may be
used all the year round, in others a
closed car is more practical. Where
traffic is dense the car or short
wheelbase is preferable.
Etve-passenger cars meet the needs
of most families. though four-pas-
senger cars may do as wen, or seven
passenger capacity may be needed.
Extra passenger room always means
extra room for legs to stretch or for
luggage, when one tours. Often there
is also a difference in price for these
models SO that consideration is
economical.
Women are interested in ease Of
driving, safety while driving and com
fort. If the woman of the family
is going to drive she should have a
car with a steering wheel easy to
turn, clutch and foot brake easy to
manipulate, and gears that shift with
facility. Usually a light car is prefer.
able, and clear vision is a necessity.

cided achievement to make frock
that actually defies every effort Of the
copyist, And, of course. the woman
who pays high price for an original
frock-or a frock the like of which
has not been sold to a maker of ready
made clothes--likes TO feel that she
has paid for something that will not
become commonplace.
A sa rule, ingeniousiy trimmed
frocks are easier to copy with sue
cess than frocks that have little or no
trimming on them. DrRped frocks
are especially difficult to copy, and
apparently the simpler the drapery,
the more difficult the reproduction.
So-called self.trimmed frocks are not
so easy to reproduce, because of the
very sktllful workmanship required in
making them. Moreover, the fact that
they show no obviously expensive sort
OF adornment would make them less
attractive to the woman who wants
her moneys worth when she buys a
ready-made frock. So II is that among
the frocks and wraps made for the
more exacting individual customers
there are always some that show this
apparently simple but actually COM
plicated sort of workmanship. Cyber
has shown some kasha frocks trimmed
with V-shaped insets of the material
stitched with matching silk. Some
times there are elaborate angular de.
signs achieved by stitched narrow
bands of the material. Applications
of the material stitched down in intri.
cate angular designs are sometimes
spoken of as incrustations.

"HAMPSON BROTHERS"
Jones & Co., cattle raisers, received
the above telegram and immediately
prepared to fill the order. The market
was uncertain; cattle were selling for
5000 head and Jones & Co. felt
that the market was going to take a
drop.
In order to have the cattle reach
Newcastle as quickly as possible, Jones
q Co. ordered the shipper to take the
cattle by way of Valley road, shorter
by three miles than the Thomas road.
AS they had feared. the market
dropped IS n head while the cat
tie were on their way, and Jones &

ness in shipping the order.
But Hampson Brothers refused to
accept the shipment, giving as their
reason the fact that the cattle were

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. NJ. O. writes: will you please
tell me what to do for my 5-year-old
boy who jerks his feet all night long?
Can it he worms or nervousness
also have a hard time giving him
vegetables, and he can't drink more
than 81 pint of milk daily. Tel me
what ! can do
Answer.--Tt is impossible to tell
from what you have written me just
what causes the constant jerking.
Children who have IL tendency to
spasms show this trait. and irrita-
tions of temperature or clothing at
night might tend to increase this ir-
ritability. Naturally, food plays
large part in all nervous manifesto
tons. and if the boy has q tinicky APP
petite this must be corrected. a nap
daily after school hours will make
him a more restful sleeper at night,
and / would suggest that the diet

the forcibIe feeding leafiet, might of
fer q solution for that phase of it.
If t. continues you would he wise to

baby and also on the other questions
you asked. Supplies should he left TO
