An Absorbing Narrative
Of Underworld Love

When ne naQ gone, SuS per
suaded her mother to so carly
to bed. Alone in her room,
she faced the stark reality OF
her tragedy.
Jim Tracy drove his roadster
away from the Calvert home
and followed the road for a
mile, turned and drove back
to within 800 yards .of the
place, where he parked beside
the low stone wall that en-
closed the landscaped acreage.
Even to himself he could not
explain his actions. Merely
there was a growing tension in
his mind, an unrest in MS
instincts. Perhaps there was a
strain Of the seer In his nature,
a faint heritage Of those
telepathic intuitions that must
have belonged to man in the
early ages. Beyond his power
of analysis was q strange SEN
sation that a brooding menace
was in the air.
Hidden Fears
Connie had not deceived him.
She had tried to conceal her
hidden worry, but, with q
lovers acumen, he had nee1
stirred with q suspicion that
would not down. Yet there
was no possible obstacle be-

ing; it was too vague, too
effeminate to have any real
substance. Still, q mysterious
attraction held him where he
could watch the house.
It was q lovely place-the
Calvert home. One of the show
places of the neighborhood and
only an hours distance by train
from his Wall Street office.
Old Theodore Calvert, Comics
father, had lavished a sizahle
fortune on the rambling, colonial
home and its beautiful grounds.
After the honeymoon. it would
be Jim's home. too. He would
give up his apartment in the
city and move cut. Connie
meant everything on earth to
him-beauty, love, financial, Sc
surity.
Comics Car
A light went out in an up
stairs window-that was Mrs.
Calvert going bed. Comics
window, next, darkened. Still
Jim Tracy fingered some
how, he could not tear himself
away After a time he
decided he was making him.
self ridiculous. He was about
to start his own car when there
was a sound Of an engine
throbbing softly into action
with in the Calvert garage. His
whole body frightened.
Running without lights, he
saw Comics own roadster glide
down the drive and steal into
the road. Without seeing her
he knew for a certainty that
Connie was at the wheel. In

toward New York.

DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan Clendening-

Vitamins are so essential to
health that they are now being
exploited in concentrated. or
canned form. The very essence
of their value is that they are
present in fresh foods. Because
this is not apparently generally
understood let me give q table
of the ordinary foods which
contain the. essential vitami11s.
A table? A round table?
No, a square table and square
meal.
At this square table and
square meal, begin at the up
per left hand corner. There are
vitamins A and .. What foods
contain A and D? Fats and
oils. Common ones, easily OBJ
tanned are: Butter, yolk Of
egg, cream, fish-fat most con-
centrated. AS Is now well

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman
An II-Mannered Escort

An Ill-Mannered Escort
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When a girl returns home
in an automobile with q
young man, shouldn't he escort
her to the door, not leave her
at the machine? I think he
should, but I have a friend who
never walks to the door with
me, but always leaves me at
the car. Which is correct?
DOROTHY.
I hope that you can think
Of some gracious way Of indi-
eating to him that it really is
only good form for him to walk
with you to your door, and not
leave you at the door Of the
car. It isn't easy, I realize, to
make this kind Of suggestion,
much less to do it graciously.
but I am sure that you will
think of a clever way Of doing
this.
Decidedly Bad Form
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Is 1t a breach Of etiquette at
present to have ones elbows on
the table while eating?

She's Very Bashful
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


Please tell me how I can ne-
come better acquainted with .
boy who lives next door to us.
We have talked together several
times, but I am very bashfuf.
and he thinks I am stuck UP.
He told several Of my friends
that he'd like to take me out.
I am 10 and he is 21. Do you
think it would be all right to
call him up and ask him to
come over to our house? I
hear he is very bashful, too.

It would be all right to invite
the bashful young man by tele-
phone, but it would seem less
like following him up" if yuu

why not have one Of them in

BURGUNDER FOR PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY DISCUSSED AT
MANY MEETINGS

The extreme Importance to every
citizen Of King County of having the
right man, well trained and experience
ed, in the office of prosecuting attorney
was discussed at several meetings held
last week in the interests Of Robert M,
Burgunder, chief deputy prosecutor,
The widely held belief that prosecut-
ing attorney can be just any good
criminal lawyer, versed In the not
difficult technique Of badgering the
prosecuting attorney, and making ex-
element for the spectators who throns
every criminal trial, was held up to
ridicule by Ewing D. Colvin, speaking
before large audience III Meeves
Cafeteria.
While there were brought before his
office last year 1890 major criminal
cases, comprising felonies, murders and
bnrglaries, and $500 lesser cases, there
are beside that, millions of dollars in
volving the tax payers money coming
before the courts within the near
future. OF these cases, at least $500 ,o0C
year may be saved this county, If they
are handled by thoughtful, brilliant
and careful lawyer, one who is skilled
as is Burgunder, in the intricate de-
tails of civil cases, rather than in show
ing off before jury.
Any witty criminal lawyer, Colvii
stated, can make for excitement in the
court room, but should he be on thu
county's side in such case and hi!
case be appealed and have to stand or
the bare bald facts of the trial alone
the county and state would lose, ant
criminals, dangerous, resentfui, ano
cunning, be turned at large to prey up
on all honest citizens.
