 Travers was on his feet. He moved to the window restlessly and turned. "I know a way to find out quickly enough!" he said. His words were clipped and decisive. Still speaking he picked up the telephone and gave 8 number.
 "Oh, Cromwell" he was saying a moment later. There's a little matter I'd like to talk to you about. Yes, to-day if you can ar- range it. Would it be too much trouble to drop around at my home some time this afternoon? Three o'clock? eYs, that's all right. I'll be waiting for you. Thanks, Crom- well. See you at three."
 He put down the telephone. "Now," said E. M. Travers with a sigh, there's nothing about that girl we won't know in "A hours. Cromwell is the most reliable de- tective in Marlboro and he keeps his mouth shut"
 Mrs Travers pressed her hands together. eff 1t really is Marks Son what can we do, Frank? May be the divorce was a mistake. May be we should have tried some other way!"
 Leave things to mel" her hus- band said gruffly. "There've been no mistakes and there won't be. We'll get the facts first. If there actually is child it's queer thing she didn't come to us for money. Women of that sort always do. No. l can't understand it." He paused thoughtfully. If you're right" he went on slowly, If you're right it's high time we knew about it. A grandson, hey? Marks boy! Yes, it's high time we knew about it!'
 Tuesday morning Frederick Stu art arrived late at the office. He came in carrying travelling case.
 Going to run out to Bedford this afternoon" he said. Bedford was a small town 50 miles distant My sisters the most helpless wo- man in the world. She owns property out there but hasn't the faintest idea how to manage it. Now she's sure the banks been robbing her. Sent me telegram this morning and I'll have to go out and find out what's wrong. I hate like blazes to take the time with Abernathy getting here to- morrow!"
 Stuart's tone was resentful. It was seldom that he discussed per- sonal affairs and Norma was sure he really was disturbed.
 That manuscript arrived from Terrence Wade" she told him, land Dorsey's sent a check. They've mailing proof of the cover jacket for Waning Moon next week."
 The man nodded, disappeared into his private office. In 10 min- utes the buzzer rang and Norma answered.

ties of corn are closely similar to those of wheat. The proteins and mineral content as well as the energy value of cornmeal are much the same as those of wheat flour.
 It is also interesting to know that the yellower the corn the higher the vitamin and mineral content. Yellow corn furnishes some of the vitamin A as we'll as B, but white corn furnishes only the B vitamin.
 Home-makers who must count the cost will find that the corn products offer many appetizing and nourishing dishes rich in call ories.
 As the weather grows colder, hominy and hominy grits are es- pecially desirable. If dried hon. iny is used, it must be soaked i've or six hours in cold water and then cooked four to six hours in boiling water, using four times as much water as hominy.
 Eggs baked in hominy is an ex- cellent luncheon or supper dish. Served with a green vegetable and milk, an adequate and well bal anced meal is provided.
 Eggs Baked in Hominy
 Four eggs, cups cold cooked hominy, 3-4 cup grated cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, 1-2 teaspoon salt, pepper.
 Pack hominy into buttered baking dish and make four hol- lows for the eggs. Sprinkle with half the cheese and place in a hot oven until cheese is melted. Re- mover from oven and drop an egg into each hollow, taking care not to break yolk. Dot with butter, season with sale and pepper and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return to the oven until eggs are set, about ten minutes. Serve from baking dish.

The next day Peter came home with some of Dorothy's toys. Did he take them back quickly when his mother saw them? Indeed he did. Nancy tried to find out what it was about the borrowed toys he liked so much. It seemed to be the fact that they were new to him. Whereupon Nancy put away many of his toys, bringing one one from time to time, so that his own pos sessions would have the effect of novelty. He had had too many toys out at one time.

Sister Mary'S
 Kitchen
BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer

The popular New England SUD- per of mush and milk held vir- tues our grandmothers never dreamed of. To them 1t was an easily prepared and economical meal. The materials always were on hand and the family liked and found it satisfying. To-day we recognize the food value found in corn cereals and know that when served with milk the combination is exceedingly nourishing and wholesome.
 Of the corn cereals. hominy and cornmeal are most popular, for they are not only inexpensive but high in food value. Hominey is the whole corn from which the out side covering has been removed. It can be purchased either dry, cooked or canned. When the corn kernel is crushed, after the outside covering has been removed, the product is known as hominy grits or samp. Samp has practically the same food value as hominy and re- sembles rather coarse-grained wheat cereal.
 Cornmeal. of course, is corn which has been ground still more finely into a meal" Usually the germ is removed in the milling process of cornmeal. This lowers the vitamin and mineral value of the cereal to some degree.

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII


 The big car moved slowly. Nor- ma, her eyes intent on the green traffic light, did not even notice that a woman in the rear of the car was staring at her.
 There were other vehicles pass ing. Norma did not give the limou- sine a second glance. She did no, recognize the woman nor did she notice that the chauffeur, too, was watching her curiously.
 When the green light flashed yellow and then to red she lowered the two front wheels of the car riage to the pavement and crossed to the other side of the street.
 By this time the big motor car was well down the block. The wo- man who had stared at Norma was leaning forward. She spoke to the chauffeu shaply.
 Drive home at once, Harvey! I've changed my mind. And hurry 0hurry!''
 Abruptly the limousine shot for ward. Fifteen minutes later it had halted before F. M. Travers' pala- tial home. The woman rushed up the steps into the house.
 Where is MT Travers?" she de- manded breathlessly of the butler. Before he could answer she saw Travers in the room beyond. "Fr&nk!" she called. "Oh. was afraid you'd gone. I'm so glad-!" Why, what's the matetr?"
 His wife started to speak, then glanced over her shoulder and said Lets go into your study. I-I must sit down!"
 When they were alone a moment later she went on eagerly. 'I saw that girl-Norma-on the street Oh, I know it was she! Harvey drove directly in front of her. And Frank, she was wheeling a baby!" Travers' expression had not changed. "We have nothing what ever to do with that girl he said. AWhat difference does 1t make where you saw her or what she was doing?"
 "But don't you understand? The baby-it must be Marks child! Somehow I never thought of such . thing. If it's a boy, Frank-and we've never had a grandchildren, think what it means!"
 You're positive it was the same girl?"
 "I'm sure of it!"
 Travers' indifference was gone. "A grandson!" he repeated. But we don't know-why she might be a nurse maid. We don't know"
 Wasn't she stenographer when Mark married her? Then why would she be a nurse maid? She

suddenly gave up the effort.
 "I'ye got to go home! she cried, bursting into Stuart's office. Some things wrong with the baby"
 She was gone like a flash, down. stairs and into a taxicab, urging the driver to go faster. After what seemed endless minutes of agony they reached the apartment.
 Norma ran upstairs and flung back the door. Mrs Carey met her. white-faced.
 "The baby's gone!" she gasped.

It seemed to Sue that she had been away Q long, long time. She half expected that the town would look different. But it was just the same. The car rolled past the building where the Thornton and Curtiss firm had it's offices. She had almost forgotten that it no longer read Thornton, Curtis and Thornton"
 Jack noticed 1t, too. Sue could tell by the grim set of his mouth, the stubborn angle of his chin.
 Then they were turning the cor ner and were on the wide street where her own home was. Sue had telegraphed her parents im- mediately upon her marriage. They were home now, watching for her.
 She scarcely waited for Jack, she was so eager to see them. She ran up the walk, opened the door, and had her arms around every one. Harry and Corrinne were there, too. Ted and Sarah. Grace and Jimmy.
 She went back to the door and pulled Jack along.
 Sue could see the dining room table beyond, the gleam of silver and glass, the roses in a low bowl, candle light. She ran upstairs to slip into another dress, and the girls came along.
 ''There's a woman who has been here to see you twice today" Sarah said. Sue wondered how Sarah knew. Then she remem- bered that Sarah and Ted were liv- ing here now until they found an apartment of their own. "She said she would be back. She seemed upset about something wants to see you real badly"
 T don't know who it could be, Sue unused. Unless ."
 She's a good friend of yours for some reason or other, but she knows something she wants you to know" Sarah went on talking, dusting her nose with a cotton ball Do you know anything about g will?"

More Than 800 Towns on
Daily Route of City
Transfer Firm.

A million and a quarter miles a
year spent in hauling other peoples
goods over the middle west is a
pretty strenuous record of activity
made by the Central Transfer and
Storage Company Of this city.
Located at 1912 South Ala
bama street, and under the man
agement of Charles F. RoeSner, this
company has become one of the
largest handlers of freight in this
part of the country. 1t maintains
regular service to more than 500
cities and towns within a radius of
100 miles of Indianapolis, making
round trips every day in the week,
and providing a pickup and de-
livery service on contracts with a
number of business concerns.
It's trucks, of which there are
about fifty in service, carry news
papers, + cad, magazines and gen.
eral me- chandise for manufacture
ers, merchants and the general
public, inSuring each load.
This service has proved both a
great convenience and an economy
to it's users. 1t does away with sew
eral landings of the goods, thus
reducing their cost to the consumer,
and it enables merchants to carry
smaller stocks, sure of the prompt
delivery of what may be needed
through the regular service main
tanned by the Central.
Goods may leave this city in the

STUDY OF LAW
IS MADE EASY
Glasses Held in Morning by
City School.

There are people who contend that
opportunity is not SO great for
young people as it was few years
ago, that the specialization which
is apparent in most fields of en-
deavor calls for longer and more
expensive course of training than
can be afforded by those who would
like to enter the professions or arts.
The Indiana Law school, 143 East
Ohio street, holds open the door to
those who desire to study for this
learned profession.
For tIirty-six years it has been
conducting an eminently practical
school, with prominent attorneys Of
this city on the faculty of fourteen,
and with easy access to the courts
and legal proceedings. It's three
year course leads to the degree Of
bachelor Of law. Joseph G. wood
is secretary.
Sessions of the school are held
only in the mornings, and the
school term runs from the third
Wednesday in September into the
following June. Tuition is fixed at
the low sum of $3.50 year, payable
in three inStallments.
Last year $50 young men took
advantage of the courses. The en-
rollment has been steadily gaining
for some time. The method of
study and the courses followed are
those approved by the association
of American law schools, and STU
dents thoroughly are grounded in
the profession.

COMP SETS
SERVICE RECORD
Towel Supply Firm Gains
Wide Patronage.

Twenty-six years catering to the
people of central Indiana in the
furnishing of towels, Office coats,
white coats and trousers, aprons,
etc., is a record that definitely
establishes that the company Civ
ing it has been rendering real serv-
ice. That is the length of time the
Frank Selnier Towel Supply Com
pany has been in business.
The service consists of the rental
of a great number of supplies in the
line of towels, professional coats,
white trousers and coats, gray coats,
aprons of all kinds, caps, table
cloths and tops, napkins and chair
covers and supplies of a kindred
nature.
The business has grown until it
uses eleven trucks for delivery
through central Indiana and en-
ploys more than forty persons.
This growth, Frank Selmier, secre-
tary-treasurer and general manager
of the company, likes to think, is a
result of his endeavors to give real
service. The company maintains
regular delivery to its patrons fur
nishing them with sufficient sup
plies to last until the next call, and
the spirit of the place is well por-
trayed by the inscription on all of
the printed matter, kindly suggest
how we can improve our service"
The company is located at ITO
East Michigan street, with tele-
phone RI ley 1881.

CHECKED

Automatic Device Saves
Unnecessary Loss.

More than a thousand dollars a
minute is lost in the United States
every day by fire. This money
really is lost, too, for nobody gains
a thing by the destruction of the
property.
A very large percentage Of this
loss is in industrial enterprises,
where life also is endangered. Yet
in most of the industrial establish
ments this loss could be reduced
greatly and in many of them en-
tirely eliminated by the installation
Of automatic sprinkler systems.
These are the precious moments.
A small fire then can be ex-
tinguished by sprinkler equipment
before human aid can be extended.
The Indianapolis Automatic
Sprinkler Company, 702 East Market
street, has installed several hundred
such systems for business and in
dustrial concerns. 1t repairs and
extends systems, and installs the
Viking sprinkler device.

Dirty, sluggish cooling systems
can not give the protection against
excessive heat which modern motors
demand.
Most automobile radiators, after
a number of months use, will be
found only 40 to so per cent efficient,
compared with those on new cars.
This efficiency is decreased by the
accumulation of grease, scale and
particles of rubber from the hose
used in the cooling system. If per-
mitted to remain, this sediment will
deteriorate the metal so that in
time the radiator becomes porous

Many motorists let nature take
its course when warm weather ap-
proaches. Anti-freeze mixture is

emulation of rust, sediment and

retard adequate cooling, with its
subsequent dangers to the engine.

the fall before putting in anti-freeze
and again in the spring when it is
removed.

 authentic reports, Attorney Finn's nomination now stands an excellent chance of being reported favorably by the judiciary committee and rati- fled by both branches of the legfs- lature. 4
 According to further reports. it is understood that the judiciary com mitsee has begun to turn against the three ripper bills introduced by Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr., of Waterbury. One of these takes the power of nominating the judge of the court of common pleas away from the governor and gives it to the legislature. Another provides that the judge and deputy judge must concur in the appointment of the prosecutor. And third requires that the judges must concur in pick ing the clerk and assistant clerk.
 All three bills are designed by Atscrney Larkin to save his own job. However. it is understood that the power of naming the judges will be left to the governor. If this hap pens it means that Attorney Finn go,ss on the bench of the common pleas court and Judge Harry J.. Bea-dsley goes off. As for the other Larkin ripper bills, 1t is said that the judiciary committee hesitates to change rules of the court which have not been complained of as long as both judges were republican.
