off the back hall-by a queer
cracking sound. 1t was undoubted-
ly the splintering of the mantel,
but Jabezs first thought was of fire.
He rushed to the library, where he
had left a screened FIRE burning.
There he found tall. broad-shoul-
dered man. masked and reeking of
whiskey, prying. with pinch bar.
at the mantel casing. He rushed at
the intruder who, surprised.
dropped the bar with which he was
working. 1t struck the poker, as it
fell, and brought that, gathering
to the hearth. Undoubtedly that
was the noise which awakened
Mark.
Jabez still retained his courage
OF younger days. He tried to seize
the man who. jumping aside,
snatched up the poker, probably in
mistake for the pinch and
struck the houseman over the head.
It was a fortunate mistake for
Jabez. Had the poker not been
knocked down, the man would most
certainly have used the bar he had
brought and taken away with him.
Not even Jabez's swervinp aside
would, in that case, have saved
MIN, for even a CHANGING blow from
such a weapon would almost GER
tainly have meant his death.
On the fifth day, weak and
shaky, Jabez insisted on resumine
his duties. That night before din.

the serving table where Jabez al

in defensive tone.
Il will attend to that Be ready

Alice always mad helped Jabez
arrange the table, but he was the
only servant in the room during the
meals.
That night. when we entered the
dlning room, Jabez stood in his sc.
customed place. His face was pale.
and noticed that his hands shook
when he lifted a dish.
"Jabez," Mrs. Gould's voice held

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Until the last in our series on
silk I have kept the story of the
common silkworm. 1t produces
many times as much silk as the
African silkworm and the wild silk
moth caterpillar put together. Since
it is so much more important than
the others, we shall speak of it to-
day as simply "the silkworm."
There is a story of two Persian
monks who went to China 1,40O
years ago. 'Tis said they placed
some silkworms in hollow canes
and carried them back to Persia.
The story explains that the Chinese
did not want to let the worms go
out of the country, so the monks
took them away secretly.
In one way or another, the silk
worm industry has spread far and
wide. Silkworms are raised in Eu-
rope, chiefly in Spain, France and
Italy. Efforts have been made to
raise them in the United States
but without any important success.
Silkworms usually are kept in
trays or boxes. Leaves of the white
mulberry tree are picked and fed
to them. The worms will eat let
tuce and black mulberry leaves, but
such food does not produce the best
grade Of silk.
In its early life the silkworm is
only about half an inch long. 1t
feeds greedily, however, and soon
sheds its skin. Again and again
four times in all-there is a she'd
ding of the skin.

With this reading, South took the

ruffed diamond in his own hand.
The final step was to lead a low
heart from his own hand. West,
not unnaturally, played the nine

-One Cocoon Produces 900 Feet of Silk

If the cocoons were let alone,
moths would come out of them in
two or three weeks. This is not
allowed to happen, except in a few
cases, since the threads would be
harmed if the moths broke through
the cocoons. The moths which do
come forth live only a few days,
but during that time they lay eggs.
The other cocoons are dipped in
hot water or heated in ovens to
destroy the life inside.
A later step is to unwind the
thread. Each cocoon produces a
double thread about 900 feet long.
This thread would not be strong
enough by itself, so several cocoons
are unwound at the same time and
their threads are combined on a
reeling machine. From three to five
cocoons will produce 300 feet OF the
strong, compound thread which is
sold as raw silk.

North's bidding was outrageously
unsound, but it paved the way for
Souths magnificent hoax. West
opened the queen of clubs, East sig
nailed with the diScouraging deuce
and South didn't even bother to
false-card, but won with the king.
The hand looked pretty hopeless, but
anything can happen in bridge
game, so South led the jack of dia-
monds in the spirit of scientific in
quiry.
West hoped up with the diamond
ace and returned the three of clubs.
And when that card appeared, Mr..
Sheinwold instantly read the exact
holdings of each opponent and hit
upon the winning line of play. The
key point was that he knew West
had a singleton king of spades and
that East had a singleton king Of
hearts!
The three of clubs, according to
convention, was Vests last club, led
In spite of East's discouraging sig
nal. Evidently, West wanted to
overrruff dummy. Only the spade
king could overruff dummy, and that
would be useful only if the king were
alone. Hence West had 10 red cards
