learned more or less in confidence and
what any one might know. Tersely,
but as fully as he could, he explained
the situation that had led up to the
quarrel at the Fantomas Club; he
stressed the queer sort of armed neu-
trality there had been between Martha
and Tack and told what he knew Of
Tack's mother and her attitude.
THE old lady'n, blame Martha, OF
course" he said.
"Oh, naturally" said Carol, and
Steve nodded. He listened attentively
to Peters account of his own cross
examination by Connolly.
"You don't know, Of course, what
Barclay and Connolly said to herp"
Steve asked, and Peter shook his head.
"No-except that they'd obviously
scared her to death. She got 1t into
her head that they thought Ross had
shot Tack and that she'd been in on
it. I didn't ask her any questions
there wasn't time. And you saw the
state she was in"
"Ye-es," said Wentworth. That's
Bouton's job, anyway-or the job of
whoever she retains" He frowned. II
wonder why they didn't arrest her right
away2"
"They haven't got a easel" said
Peter, indignantly.
I've known of plenty OF arrests with
less than they've got already" said
Steve, dryly. you might as well face
it, Peter This is an ugly business. They
know she can't get away, of course
but, as rule, they try for a confession
right off the reel. They try to get in
their work before people can talk and
get prinned on what to say" He frowned
again, thoughtfully. You can see how
it works-take a woman in her state,
put her up against five or six hours
of grilling in a police station-well,
she's apt to say almost anything"
He shook his head, doggedly.
"Well-they've given us a breathing
spell, and that's all to the good" he
said. "They can't get at her again be-
fore omorrow-Jimmy Watson can
stand them off if they try. I'd give
a good deal to know what they're doing
to Ross about now"
"Ross!" said Peter. I'D forgotten

himself in q glass. Carol was right. He
And he felt worse than he looked.
In Ninth street Peter had his first
experience of running the gauntlet
among the reporters. If he'd seen the
early editions of the evening papers,
he would have known that his name
figured almost as prominently as Mar
tha's and Tack's-more prominently, as
he was glad, later, to learn, than Ross,
since Connolly had chosen, so far, for
reasons of his own, to keep his knowl-
edge Of Ross part in the case to him
self.
He shook his pursuers of by main
force and went up to his fiat to find a
distracted and harassed Manuel. The
telephone, 1t seemed, had been ringing
necessarily for an hour, and 1t kept
on doing so, but Manuel was an adept
telephone liar, and no one could reach
Peter unless the voice was known to
Manuel. The house telephone, after
five minutes, was simply shut off: Peter
gave orders that no one was to be an
nounced. Accordingly, it was with some
Indignation that he heard 1t ring, after
he had come out from a shower and
was beginning to feel little more like
a human being.
"I'm sorry, Mr.. Wayne" said the SUI
perintendent. "I know you gave orders,
but there's an officer who says he has

Ross. was probably picked up while
you were waiting over there on the
roof"
The maid came in just then to say
that breakfast was ready, and Peter
was surprised to find that he was by
no means without interest in grape
fruit and bacon and cup after cup OF
strong coffee. Queer, the way life in
sisted on going on along its ordinary,
commonplace lines, in spite OF murder
and tragedy and the looming shadow
Of utter disaster.
"IIl tell you what you'd better do"
said Steve to Peter, presently. Find
out anything you can about Martha's
people-see whether she has lawyer.
She must have, of course. Let me know
who he is and I'll get in touch with
him. Chances are he'll want GRIM
inal man to handle this, just as I
would, and if he'd rather have some
one besides Bouton it'll be all right
with me. Only-some one ought to be
on the job right away. Times what
counts just now"
Peter agreed with him, especially
when he remembered the way Connolly
had looked when he flung open the
door after the flashlight had gone off.
1t had been all very we'll for him to
reassure Martha, to tell her that she
was crazy to think she might be ar
rested. But, in point of fact, Peter
agreed with Steve Wentworth. The
very fact that Martha was still at lib
erty struck him now as alarming.
He did what he could on the tele-
phone from Carols apartment. Though
it went against the grain, he tried to
reach Ross, but he was hardly surprised
to be told, both at his apartment and
at his office, Ross had a job, OF sorts,
downtoWn-that he was out. From
Marian Bronson he learned that Mar
tha's father was at Palm Beach and
not without difficulty, finally reached
him by long distance.
It wasn't altogether easy to make
Mr.. Cameron understand what had
happened-nor, for that matter, to
identify himself and explain how 1t was
that he was talking to him.

ARoL had been as good as her
word. She and Steve were
both up and dressed, and a
~ sleepy-eyed maid appeared with
coffee. Jimmy Watson, who'd
brought Peters two nephews into the
world and was a friend as well as a
doctor, was there, too; Martha, who'd
met him. managed smile for him.
"Try to drink a cup of coffee, Mrs.

Modern Laundry
Expert Explain s
met Bag System"
Tells How Manhattan
Saves You Money By
Saving Your Clothes

Present day laundry methods
which preserve clothes as well as
clean them, are far superior to the
old home method of rubbing and
scrubbing, according to Mr.. E. F.
Wesley, chief of the Research De-
partment of Manhattan Laundry.
Mr.. Wesley attributes large part
of the Manhattan Laundry's sue
cess to their Net Bag System.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag
System of washing, as described by
Mr.. Wesley, follows: First, the
clothes are assorted according to
their color and material and placed
in individual net bags. which bear
the customers name and contain
only that customers articles. Safe
in the nets and protected from all
metal or other hard surfaces, the
clothes go into the washers. Here
they are subjected to the gentle
cleansing action of swirling hot
suds which penetrate each garment
and loosen every particle of dirt.
Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps
and soft, filtered water are used,
after first having been inspected
and tested by the Research Depart
ment. Many rinsings of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
trace of dirt. This thorough care
in washing is one reason why Man.
haitian laundered clothes stay new
looking so much longer.
Customer Praises Net Bags
In a recent letter to the Man.
haitian Laundry, Mrs. E. r. D.
writes:
". But the one actual fact
that pleases me most is that
the clothes do not show as
much wear as they did when I
had my laundry done at home
.. 1t is indeed a pleasure to
recommend you . o. ."
This letter is typical Of the many
received by Manhattan from salts
fed customers throughout the Dis
trict Of Columbia and Virginia.
3-Day Collection and Delivery
Quite another Manhattan feature
which has found great favor with
Washington housewives is their g.
Day Collection and Delivery Ser
vice. In this highly developed sys-
tenn your clothes are collected one
day, laundered to your order the
next and delivered to you promptly
the afternoon of the third day. For
instance, if your clothes are col
1ected Monday morning they are
delivered Wednesday afternoon;
called for Tuesday, back home
Thursday, and so on. No delay.
No worry. And there is no addi-
tional charge for this extra service.
Services to Fit Every Need
Manhattan offers the housewife
a wide selection of economical ser
vices - from Complete Finished
Family to individual piece work.
There is a service to fit every need
and purse, and every service re-

The Toll Acidifv Takes


You go to bed dog-tired, but the
minute you hit the pillow all sleepi-
ness vanishes. If you do sleep at all,
it's only in snatches and you wake
out Of these "stupors" with strange,
startled feeling, sometimes in a cold
sweat. Morning finds you rag,
gaunt and hollow%eyed and barely
able to crawl out of bed.
Acidity is due to our unnatural eat
ing habits, our excessive smoking and
irregular hours. The excess acid up
sets digestion and causes acid-indiges-
ton with gas and heartburn. It
causes putrefaction and fermentation
In the gastro-intestinal canal which
frequently results in ragged nerves,
sleeplessness, logy days and general
loss of strength and vitality.
A remarkable new corrective of
acidity has been developed by a famous
100-year-old pharmaceutical house in
Germany This new, improved mag
nesia comes in the form of small white
tablets called Magnesia Oxoids which
do not have to be chewed, but which
may be swallowed whole. Magnesia
Oxoids, upon contact with the acid in

$4,000 TRAINED
IN vOCAT|ONS

The work of the Federal Board
of Vocational Education, which
has rehabilitated $4,000 persons
disabled by accident or disease
since its creation, was described
by Senator James j. Davis, of
Pennsylvania, former Secretary of
Labor, at the w. M. C. A. build
ing last night.
He said these disabled persons,
if cared for as charity cases,
would cost from $500 to $500 a
year each, whereas training them
for suitable jobs cost only about
$3.50, and thereafter they live
independently and with their
self-respect undiminished. H e
added:
"The necessity for vocational
rehabilitation will be apparent
when it is understood that
279,OOO persons are permanently
disabled each year by accidents
in industry or on the streets.
This is a staggering figure, and
it leaves out of account those
disabled by disease or con-
genital causes. In apprO-
priating a million dollars a
year for this purpose, Congress
indicated its appreciation Of
the need Of conservation Of
human resources"
