What Do You Do
With Oily Rags?

Spontaneous combustion stands
fifth on the list of fire hazards
which consume property in this
country at the rate of more
than $1,000, 900 daily. Put all
rubbish, waste paper and clean
ing rags in metal containers.
1t is best to leave no rubbish on
the premises. Constant care
fulness, and insurance like that
furnished by this Hartford Fire
Insurance company agency, are
the best safeguards against
loss by fire.

Acknowledging BetrOthal Gift
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I have been engaged for over
a month, and had my reception.
I have been the recipient Of
many beautiful presents, but ]
am in doubt as to the form Of
acknowled edgment I should write.
Do I include the name Of my
fiance in the body Of the note,
and do I just sign my name?
am enclosing q sample Of the
card that I am to use.
PUZZLED.
The thank!you notes that you
write for your betrothal pres
ents are Of the same type that
you write for any other kind Of
present; that is, q thank.you for
the thoughtfulness Of the friend
who sent it, and a chat about
the gift itself. beg you not to
use the kind Of card that you
sent me, for it thoroughly In
adequate looking and in ex-
tremely bad taste. Buy some
white or oyster gray letter paper
Of the conventional double-Sheet
kind, and Of the best texture
that you can afford. These are
very important notes and de-
serve an important background.
There should be no ridiculous
crowding Of the writing, as you
had to do in your note to me.
Since the notes are for be-
trothal presents, and since these
presents are personal Cnot like
wedding presents, 'hich are for
the new home) you do not
write for your -iance, too. Your
note would be something like
this: -
Dear Mary:
How glorious Of you to think
Of me so handsomely, and to
give me the beautiful mirror!
It is quite the loveliest one that
I have ever seen, and "goeS"
perfectly with the dresser that
have already bought. You are
a wonderful friend, always
thinking Of something that will
make your friends happy. And
now you have again made me
happy, and my appreciation
knows no bounds. Thank you?
I hope to see you Soon-may I?
There is so much news to share.
AZ yours,
JANE.

and it was opened by a servant.
Carroll, fortunately, was at
home. He was quite surprised
when he learned the visit was
from the police. When ques-
toned about the night before
he showed a little heSitancy
about speaking Of the game.
I'VE may as well tell you,
Carroll, that Wythe was MUIR

bluntly.

Then what did?" Blake
asked sharply.
There was something about
the game which might have led
to this. I'll have to go to the
beginning. We started to play

Murdoch, Wythe and myself. It
was q pretty stiff game. About
one o'clock an argument arose
between Murdoch and Wythe.
Our host got the idea that
Murdoch was not playing
straight and did everything
except accuse him Of cheating.
He suggested that there was
only one end for anyone who
cheated, meaning, I think,
death.
However, that blew over and
at about two Wythe suddenly
rose, as if remembering some
thing on the spur Of the mo-
ment. He said he had a present
to give for Christmas and that
he would be be- * in a short
time telling us to go ahead
with the game. He was a pretty
heavy winner at that time; so
he pocketed the money and
went out.
I'VE played for while and
then someone, I think it was
Norris, went around to Wythe's
seat and there, under the table,
he found an ace cached-the
ace of spades! It appears,
therefore, that Wythe was the
one who played crooked. Muir
doch threatened to get Wythe
for this and Norris, a young
fellow who had acted very serl-
Gus all night, made some pref
ty nasty threats. We waited
for Wythe to come back but
when. it got to be three-thirty
we all left, believing that he
probably did not intend to re-
turn. I imagine Wythe left so
suddenly-that's the way it
struck me at the time-rhat he
forgot all about the card he
had hidden"
You say Wythe was win
ming. About how much?"
well. it was a pretty stiff
game. I should say he was close
to fifteen thousand ahead"
That's a lot Of money to
carry around. You say Wythe
took it with him?"
''It was mostly big bills-the
stakes were high. There was
also one stack Of gold, mostly
twenty y-dollar pieces"
The thing was getting some
where now. Captain Blake
passed a glance to Dale upon
the mention of the gold.
1--WE know Murdoch" said
Blake. Murdock was a well
known plunger along Broadway
and on the fringe of the under
world. "Tell us about Saun-
ders and Norris"
Saunders is sort Of a hang
eron with Wythe'S crowd-you
probably know who they are.
Norris is a young fellow. some
one Wythe invited into the
game. He lives on the West
Side somewhere-he gave me
his address if you want it. I
think he was a novice at this
sort of thing. Norris was the
one who brought the gold
pieces into the game"
Jardin came in at the mo-
ment with the news that some

"When'd you see Wythe alive

tain Blake asked when they
were once more on their way
in the police car.
Shortly after midnight last
night. I was leaving the apart
ment and wanted to say good
by to him-you know, he'd
always been very kind to me.
There was a game Of some
kind going on, but he came to

spoke for the first time.
'"This might be the best spot
to let Mr.. jackson off, Captain

suggestion, so the car was
stopped and Jackson got out.

Immediately. Once around the
corner he quickly suggested that

to. be put on the trail until
relieved. It was quickly done,
Jardin taking the wheel as they
continued downtown to the

He had been on duty the night
before.
What time did jackson leave

About: 1890, He came to

was surprised as the news had
not vet been given out.
Anything unusual happen at
Mr.. Wythe'S apartment during

Blake nor the attendant knew
exactly what Dale was driving
at. The attendant, especially,
was bit frightened, as he
knew about the games that
went on in the apartment.
"Why-why, nothing that I
know of. sir.

What Chance Happiness


What chance for happiness
has a girl through friendship
with a married man who dares
not acknowledge the friendship
because he is married?
Dear Miss Fairfax" writes
'Broken-hearted" on this theme.
81 am Just past my eighteenth
birthday and I have been keep
ing company with q fellow five
years my senior. He is married
and has q baby girl.
'His wife is In i'll health and
goes away every winter. While
she vas away saw him every
day, but now that she has re-
turned he doesn't visit me at
all.
Sometimes i see him on the
street and he talks to me, other
times he just speaks. He seems
to be avoiding me.
"He has made dates with me,
but never keeps them. I am
deeply in love with him. He has
never told me he loves me. He
isn't the sort to confess. But
he knows I love him.
"He says his wife goes away
again this winter and His pun.
ishment will be up then and we
can be together again. Do you
think he cares anything about
me? Or did he just take UP my
time because he was lonely?
HE gets angry when he sees
me with other fellows and says
I have too many fellows. Please
tell me how I can win his love.
I have tried so hard to forget
him and go out and have nice
times with other fellows. But
when music is playing and ]
listen, I find myself brooding
over him. He is a musician.
My love is too strong to forget
him. I cry every day over him.
Isn't there some way I can
win his love? I thank you in
advance.
"BROKEN.HEARTED."
Dear Broken-Hearted I don't
wish to discourage you, but how
far can you trust a man who is
obviously deceiving his wife,
leading q double life and who
speaks Of any woman as he re-
fers to his wife, the mother of
his child? How far could you
trust his kindness, generosity,
fairness? Just how dependable
would he be as a friend? To be
kept stealthily in the back
ground, as he keeps you, is an
indignity to friendship and at
lection.

dear, and seek friendships

It is indeed hard, sometimes,
for a girl to know whether she's
in love. Because love, infatua-
ton and first-sight attraction
all seem very much alike for o
while. But time decides the
question.
/, Treat both young men as good
friends and wait for the test Of
time to prove which one, IL
either, in addition to being q
friendly pal, is dearest Of all
