CRANBERRY GAMES.
Cranberries are as good in games as
In sauce. Be sure to use firm red
harries for the following games.
First a large glass of cranberries
is shown. Each child makes a guess
as to how many berries are in the
glass. The one who guesses nearest
to the right number becomes leader
for the next game.
The children sit in a row with their
hands laid together in an upright po-
sition on their laps. The Ieader, with
a cranberry between her hands, which
are laid together just as those of the
other players, goes' down the line slip-
ping her bands between those of the
other children. Into one pair of hands
she slips the cranberry. When she
has finished she says, "Cranberry,
cranberry, who has the cranberry?"
The child who was farthest from the
right count in the guessing -game must
guess who has the berry.
For another jolly game line the
children up in two rows having equal
numbers in each. Give the first child
in each row a handful of cranberries,
At a given signal each child passes

crime. Besides, all Jack's interests
lay in the other direction. If his uncle
had lived a day longer, he would have
been sole heir to the estate.
"That's easy to say. How're you
going to find the guilty man?" asked
Jack sulkily.
If you'd tell what you know we'd
find him fast enough. How can get
to the bottom of the thing when you
an' James won't give me the facts?"
Jack looked across at him doggedly.
"I've told all I'm going to tell"
The long, lithe body of the man
from the Wyoming hills leaned for-
ward ever so slightly. "Don't you
think it! Don't you think it for a
minute! You'll come clean whether
you want to or not—or I'll put that
rope you mentioned round your bro-
ther's throat."
Jack looked at this man with the
nerves of chilled steel and shivered.
What could he do against a single-
track mind with such driving force
back of it? Had Kirby got anything
of importance on James? Or was ho
bluffing?
"Talk's cheap," he sneered uneas-
ily.
"You'll find how cheap it is. James
has been speculatin'. He was down
an' out. Another week, an' he'd have
been a bankrupt. Uncle discovers
how he's been tricked by him an' Miss
Harriman. He serves notice that he's
cuttin' James out of his will an' he
sends for a lawyer to draw uet a new
one. James an' his wife go to the
old man's rooms to be; • off. There's
a quarrel, maybe. Anyhow, this point
sitcks up like a sore thumb; if uncle
hadn't died that night your brother
would 'a' been a beggar. Now he's
a millionaire. And James was in his
room the very hour in which he was
killed."
"You can't prove thatl" Jack cried,
his voice tow and hoarse. "How do
you know he was there? What evi-
dence have you?"
Kirby smiled, easily and confidently.
"The evidence will be produced at the
right time." Ho rose and turned to'
J
As he wandered through the streets
Kirby's mind was busy with the prob-
lem. Automatically his legs carried
him to the Paradox Apartments. He
found himself there before he even
knew he had been heading in that di-
rection. Mrs. Hull came out and pass-
ed him. She was without a hat, and
probably was going to the corner gro-
cery on Fifteenth.
"I've been neglecting friend Hull,"
he murmured to himself. "I reckon
I'll just drop in an' ask him how his
health is."
He was not sorry that Mrs: Hull;
was out. She was easily, he 'edged,
the dominant member of the firm. If
he could catch the fat man alone he
might gather something of import-
ance.
Hull opened the door of the apart-
ment to his knock. He stood glaring
at the young man, his prominent eyes
projecting, the red capillaries in his
beefy face filling.
"Whadjawant?" he demanded.
"A few words with you, Mr. Hull"
Kirby pushed past him into the room,
much as an impudent agent does.
"Well, I don't aim to have no truck
with you atoll," blustered the fat man.
"You've just naturally wore out yore
welcome with me before ever you set
down. Pll ask you to go right now."
"Here's your hat. What's your
hurry?" murmured Kirby, by way of
quotation. "Sure I'll go $ut don't

some remarks an' to ash a question,
I'll not hurt you any. Haven't got

"What do you want to .know?" silo
demanded,
"I'd like to know what happened In

up there—say about half -past nine,
mebbc a little before or a little after."
"Ile claims to have a witness," Hull
managed to get. out from a dry throat.
"A witness of what?" snePPed the
woman.
"That 'I -that X—was 1n Cunning
ham's rooms."
For an instant the woman quailed.
A spasm of fear flashed over ber face
and was gone.
"He'll claim anything to get mita
the hole he's in," she said dryly. Then,
swiftly, her anger pounced on the
Wyoming mora, 'You get outs my
house, We don't have to stand yore
impudence—an' what's more, we won't.
Do you hear? Get out, or I'll send
for the police. I ain't scared any of
you,"
The amateur detective got out. He
bad had the worst of the bout. But
he had discovered one or two things.
If he could get Olsen to talk, and
could separate the fat, flabby man
from his flinty wife, it would not be
hard to frighten a confession from
Hull of all he knew. Moreover, in
bis fear Bull had let slip one admis-
sion. Shibo, the little janitor, bad
some evidence against him. Hull knew
it. Why was Shibo holding back?
The fat man had pt•actica1ly said that
Shiba had seen hies! come out of Cun-
ningham's rooms, or at leastthat he
was a witness he had been in the
apartment. Yet he had withheld the
fact when he had been questioned by
the police. Had Hull bribed him to
keep quiet?
The cattleman found Shibo lvatering
the lawn of the, parking in front of
the Paradox. According to his cus-
tom, he plunged abruptly into what
he wanted to say. Ile had discovered.
that if a man is not given time to
frame a defense, he is likely to give
away something he had intended to
conceal.
"Shibo,' why did you hide from the
police that Mr. Hull was in my uncle's
rooms the night he was killed?"
The janitor shot one slant, startled
glance at Kirby before the mask of
impassivity wiped out expression from
his oyes.
"You know heap lot about every-
thing. You busy busy all like honey-
bee. Me, I just janitor—mind own
business."
"I wonder, now." Kirby's level gaze
took the man in carefully. Was he as
simple as he wanted to appear?
"No talk' when not have anything
to tell." Shibo moved the sprinkler to
another part of the lawn.
Kirby followed him. He had a ca-
pacity for patience.
"Did Mr. Hull ask you not to tell
about him?"
Shibo said nothing, but he said it
with indignant eloquence.
"Did he give you money not to tell?
I don't want to go to the police with
this if I can help it, Shibo. Better
come through to me."
"You go police an' say I know who
make Mr. Cunningham dead?"
"If I have to."
The janitor had no more remarks
to make, He lapsed into an angry,
stubborn silence. For nearly half an
hour Kirby stayed by his side. The
cattleman asked questions. He sug-
gested that, of course, the police would
soon find out the facts after he went
to them. He even went beyond his
brief and implied that shortly Shibo
would be occupying a barred cell.
But the man from the Orient con-
tributed no more to the talk.
(To be continued.),
No Need to Ask.
One after another the neighbors had
come in to admire the new baby that

IN THE. WORLD -
In the greenhouses of the (United

Washington, which house Wt1110t and
curious plants from every quarter" of
the gleno, several young trees are
growing which are unique of their
kind, says an American writer. They
are closely allied to the ors.nges, bun -
ons and citrons, but bear_ a fruit en-
tirely distinct, 'sometimes called the
codrat, Paradise apple, or Adam's ap-
910, and ltnowri to orthodox Hebrews
throughout the world as the othrog,
or sacred Jewish citron, Tllie fruit
has played en important rale in Jewish
religious ceremonies ever "ince the de-
liverance of tete Israelites from the
land of Egypt, and is one of the cost-
liest and most interesting, yet one 02
the least -known fruits in the world.
Americans in general !lave never
heard of it, although thousands' are
used in this country every year.
Thousands of earogltn are Imported.
Into this country each year from Pales•
tine and the Greek islands in the
Mediterranean for use in the Feast of
the Tabernacles, or Booths, which is
celebrated for one week each fall by
all Sews who adhere to the customs

An Historical Fruit.
According to the passage in Liiviti•
sus XXIIT., 53 to 44, the Lord directed
Israel to observe .the Feast of the
Israel to obsedve the Feast of the -
Tabernacles, beginning en the fit
teenth day of the seventh month of
the Jewish calendar, when all Israel-
ites shonld dwell in booths or tents,
as their forefathers did on their de-
liverance from Egypt, and when they
should take the fruits of goodly trees;
interpreted by the ancient Hebrew
doctors of the law to mean esrogim,
branches of palm trees, boughs of
thick trees—myrtle—and willows of
the brook, and rejoice before the Lord
far seven days.
This ancient ceremony bias come
down to the present day practically
unchanged, although its symbolism
has been somewhat obscured and few
people, even among the. Jews them-
selves, realize the romance of his per-
sistance of ancient rhes.
The citron--ethrog-is'the common
species for the orange tribe in Pales-
tine and was probably the first intro-
duced. It is a native of Media, and
must not he confused with the citron
which we know in this country and
from which candied citron peel and
similar confections are made. The
fruit is larger than a lemon, which It
closely resembles, and smaller than
the citron of commerce, is of an ob-
long shape, pale yellow in color and
very aromatic. One is sufficient to
perfume as entire room. The rind is
thick and hard, tbo pulp bitter and
very seedy. The scanty sweet-sour
Juice is rich in pectin and makes a
fine jelly. The chief distinguishing
characteristic of this unusual fruit,
however, is a protuberance on the
blossom end, having the appearance of
a pestle seated in a mortar, and
known as the pitam or puma. It is
the stamen of the blossom preserved
Intact on the fruit, and without this
pltma the fruit is or 1lttle or no rollg
