SIXTH EPISODE—(Cont'd. )
"I will show you the room where the
vault door stands behind a curtain.
Here is a secret door," continued Duke
Hester, as be ,pressed a carved rose
on the wall panel.
Duke Hester and Pat stood for a
momentlooking•into the, room. With
his back to the intruders, the king sat
„in deep meditation. Silently indicat-
ing with his hand, Duke Hester point-
ed 'to heavy, draperies that hung
against the farther wall of the king's
library
Then he drew the girl baclefrom the
opening where they stood, and let the
panel slide noiselessly into its original
position.
"Behind those drapes is the door
of the vault," said the duke, —
Pat departed from the palace by a
secret entrance, tossing the purple
mask into a vase of flowers near the
walk. She knew that if Sphinx -Kelly
were to pick it up, he would know that
again were his wits in conflict with
the most beautiful mystery in all
, Paris.
As Pat passed along the streets her

rare beauty made her the object of un-
disguised admiration.
Pat went straight to the meeting -
place of the People's league.
am going to the Icing," he said,
"in your behalf, and to do the work
you expect of me.. Lot there be no
trouble until I speak to..you again
from this platform, I make no prom-
ise, but I believe that when you next
hear the sound of my voice in this hn.11
that I can toll you the queen's behest
have been fulfilled."
There were wild shouts and thunder-
ous applause,
When Pat again galled at the palace
she went in the name of the People's
league. She demanded that the icing
should give her an audience, She was
ushered into the poem where se' had
conversed with Deice Nestor, and told
to await the king's decision.
To divert suspicion, Pat moved
about the room as if in curiosity; ex=
arniling the paintings and decora-
tions on the wall. She knew that her
chance might come at any moment,
and keeping a sharp watch on every
door she ,gradually worked her way
to where the secret panel was hidden
in the wall;
In her hand the girl carried a email
bag, such as women often have with
them on shopping trips.
Deftly she pushed the heart of the
rose. The panel slid back and as she
gazed stealthily into the half -dark-
ened room she discovered that there
was not a soul to be seen. She decid-
ed quickly, her opportunity was . at
hand.
She ran swiftly across the room and
pulled the draperies aside. In another
instant she had begun to turn the com-
bination, listening with her ear close
to the lock as the tumblers moved into
place.
When she had completed the speci-
fied number • of revolutions, and
stopped the combination on the final
number, she was able to turn the knob
at the first attempt.
There was a massive jewel box
standing on a small table in the center
of the closet -like room, and taking a
chance on getting what she was after,
Pat emptied the contents of the box
into her hand -bag. She watched
strhtg after string of pearls and gems
flow into the leather bag.
As Pat made her exist from the
vault she realized to her dismay that
she'was not now alone in the king's li-
brary. As she dropped the drapery
over the door to the strong room, she
saw approaching the king himself,
"They told me to wait for you here,"
said the girl without a quiver of an
eyelash or hesitating an instant. "I
have been amusing myself looking
around, your majesty."
Before the king could question her,
Duke Hester entered and gazed in as-
tonishment at the girl here in the pres-
ence of the king. At the sight of the
duke the girl made.a clumsy move and,
as, if by accident, dropped her bag
upon the floor. Duke Iiester picked it
up and politely offered to restore it
to her.
"I'll thank you to hold the bag for
me a few moments, while I speak to
the king," said Pat, smiling her pret-
tiest at the two representatives of roy-
altty
"Tell the young person," said the
king, addressing himself to Duke Hes-
tor,
king"
she cannot talk to me unless
I make the appointment. Then see
that she is ushered from the palace."
The duke bowed low, and Pat made
a courtesy. Then, instantly the ger1
took the duke's arm and urged hinr'to
lead her from the room. This done,
and they were once outside of the pal-
ace, Pat snatched the bag from the
duke's hand and fled rapidly up the
avenue.
"My word, but she is a peculiar crea-
ture," said the duke half aloud as if to
himself, .while he watched Pat disap-
pear around the first turning of the
street. ' And smiling grimly, continu-
ed': "I weer if she has the. jewels
in that /eggs"
Meanwhile Kelly had again called
upon the king; at his command, enter.
ing the palace by a different way, et
the instant Pat was hurrying off with
the queen's jewels safely in her hand-
bag. , As Kelly entered the king's pres-
ence; the ruler was fairly exploding in
a towering rage,
"Tho jewels are gone. z just .dis-
covered it. That woman leader has
made a fool of the king of Dufvant,"
cried the monarch in wails of anger,
"Yes, and she's fooled the Sphinx,"
Kelly muttered to himself.
Rousing the guard, the Sphinx made
an effort to apprehend the girl, but
was, of course, ;too late, Evon while

Food contains sane such as nilplwu',
sodium, phosphates, magnosiuln, iron,
potassium. These salts do not ahango
in the 'process of digestion, but are,
absorbed largely in their natural form,
Animal foods supply soda and ehlo-
rldes whicireere a neeessary part of
the fluids, Vegetable foods and wa-
ter supply potash, limo and phosphates
which are necessary for the•solid tis -
fame ,
Mineral salts have the following
uses: to promote digestion; to hard-
en bony tissue; to strengthen muscular
tissue; to supply acids and alkalises for
the digestive juices.
Salts are therefore neeessary for
health. Disease respite from an in-

Phosphate, calcium and magnesium
aro necessary for bone and tooth struc-
ture. Sodium aids digestion and is a

of the heart, gives life to the nervous
system, and keeps the tissues active
and flexible,
Mineral smite ere found.in abund-
ince in vegetables milk, eggie e whole

healthr it is im or ant'that the
diet
should include those foods which con-
tain mineral salts,
Raspberries may be canned by the
cold pack method. Sort the fruit and
discard all the soft and bruised ber-
ries. Fill into the sterilized jars and
gently press-berrles down with a large
spoon to pack closely. Cover with
either a, syrup or plain boiling water.
Place the rubbers and lids in position
partially tight, process in hot water
bath for thirty minutes, after boiling
has started. Remove, fasten lids
securely, test for leaks, hare, date and.
store in a cool, dry place.
Raspberry Jam,—Six boxes of rasp-
berries, four cupfuls of water. Place
in a saucepan . and cook until soft.
Then rub through a fine sieve. Me-
asure the raspberries and allow one-
half cupful of sugar to each cupful
of pulp. Cook until very thick; store
in glasses, bowls, etc. Cover with
paraffin.
Care must be taken when cooking
jams, etc., to use an asbestos mat un-
der the kettle to prevent scorching.
To use bruised and soft berries:
Wash and crush with the potato mash-
er, adding one quart of water, one cup-
ful of sugar, to each quart of soft
fruit. Bring to boiling point and
cook gently for fifteen minutes. Strain
and bottle this juice in sterilized bot-
tles. Place the bottles in hot water
bath.and process twenty minutes after
boiling starts. Seal and cover the
tops of bottles by dipping into melted
sealing wax.
How T6 Economize.
Food is spoiled by careless handling
and storing. Important amounts of
perishable foods are made dangerous
or inedible because they are exposed
to heat, germs, dust, dirt or to flies
and other insects.
Much milk spoils quickly because it
is kept uncovered in warm kitchens.
Close observance of the doctrine "Keep
perishable food, especially milk, cool,
clean, and covered continuously" may
make a striking difference in the food
bills of many families.
One or two vegetables, beets or car-
rots, for instance, not needed imme-
diately, are thrown out or allowed to
spoil instead of being used in soups
or combination dishes. Fruits which
could be stewed and kept are allowed
to spoil,
Vegetables and fruits in q entities
oftenare stored in hot, damp, and
poorly ventilated bins and under con-
ditions which hasten wilting, fermen-
tation, and decay.
Fr nits, surplus beans, tematoes, and
other vegetables produced in home
gardens are allowed to spoil on the
vines ,or rot on the ground. A morn-
ing's work would can and preserve
such surplusage for use when fruits
and vegetables are scarce and high in
price.
Much food is ruined by being stored
where flies or other insects, or rats
and mice, can get at it. Much cereal
food is ruined because it is not -pro-
tected against weevils or other insects.
Ability To Relax.
One of the important' things to
know in life, especially if you are a
woman, is how to let yourself alone.
The ability to relax, the art of being
judiciously lazy, the tact to let her-
self alone, has saved many a woman
from a nervous breakdown. We all
know the housewife who nags herself
into such estate of consciousness that
she cannot rest. If she lies down, she
is continually worrying herself with
thoughts of the work she is neglect-
ing. .
Much of the blame for this state
of affairs lies at the doors of the moth-
ers. The mistake is in their train-
ing of the children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from
earliest 'infancy to be kind to others,
to bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death,
no one ever tells them to be kind also
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make Herself more miserable than
any one else possibly could. She can
make her life more of a nightmare
than any misfortune could possibly
make it. If such women .could learn
to be kinder to themselves, there is
no doubt that their own lives would be
lengthened; and not only that, but the
lives of those with whom they come
in close contact would be made far
more pleasant.
the Icing and his household were in
commotion Pat had sold .the jewels to
the banker, who was waiting, ready
to pass over the money, and within the
hour she had enriched the treasury of
the People's league.
"Good friends, my work -here is
done," said Pat, when the wildly en-
thusiastic members of the league had
calmed down enough to allow her voice
to be heard, "The queen's wishes
have been fulfilled."
The shouting and cheering populace
followed the girl from the hall' and into
the street. She led ,the procession
straight to the palace, and then urged
them into cheers for the king. By the
mastery of her will'"she had changed
the whole temper of the people from
antagonism to loyalty toward their
monarch.
Inside the palace the king heard the
uproar and marveled. He looked
from his window and beheld the frail
girl leading his people in their. cheers,
Then he sent for her to be ushered
into the throne room.
And there in the presence of the
,.
kingthe girl faced Sphinx Kelly.

REVIVAL OF JET INDUSTRY.
Factorles at Whitby, England, Are
Re -Opened By the War.
A revival of the trade in English
jet is reported by United States Con-
sul Hathaway, stationed at Hull. The
manufacture of jet ornaments has
been carried on at Whitby as far back
as records exist. The 'monks of
beads before the Norman conquest.
From about 1850 to 1880 was the
most flourishing period. Some 1,500
men and boys were employed, but
changes of fashion and the competi-
tion of German -made glass imita-
tions of jet had almost put an end to
the industry before the war,
The war has revived the trade. On
the one hand, it has thrown the na-
tion into mourning and greatly in-
creased the deMand for black orna-
ments, and on the other it has out
off the supply of black glass orna-
ments that used to come from the
continent. It has likewise stopped
the, importation of jet from Spain
and correspondingly extended the
mining of jet at Whitby. For inane'
years a considerable part of the jet
manufactured at Whitby was • im-
ported from Spain; but according to
some connisaeurs this Spanish jet
was inferior in quality to the Whitby
' jet, .and its use, in their view, contri-
buted to the downfall of the industry
by lessening the perfection of the pro-
duct.
The number of men now employed
at Whitby is not large, and visitors
to' the factories have noted that they
are nearly all old men who learned
their trade 4n their boyhood, when
the industry was prosperous. This is
thought to militate against the per,
manent revival of the industry,• for
'there will be Tow young men avails
able until the war is over to learn
the Crafts of carving, turning, and
paneling jet which these old met: are
carrying on.' No estimate of the
quuntlty of jet available in the Whit-
by stratais procurable, but the sup-
plier are believed to be practically in-
exhaustible, The future of the in.
ilustey will rest on the turn of fashion.

HORRORS OF HUN
PRISON CAMPS
DR GRIMM B l CIVILIAN WHO
EXPERIENCED TF[FIMM,
Ensiled - Newspaper Correspondent
Was Interned For 18 Months
At R.nhloben.
Ru'hlebcn 10 one of the largest con-
ceetration canape in Germany, This
vamp was intended primarily for elv-
Mans who were unable to get away
from Germany at the outbreak of the
War. The prisoners. were a 7noticY
crew, old and young, rich and poor,
smart and ragged. The camp was
eatabllalled oe a race course, and the
men were housed in the stables and
teok their exercise on the trotting
tracks.
"My 'box mates' comprised e
couple of middle aged businese men,
a couple of young schoolmasters
(who had been holiday making along
the Rhine) and a young scientist en-
gaged in a British Government labor-
etory; it is needless to say that none.
of us had ever had any experience In
the gathering together of a big bun-
dle of hay and carrying it for a quar-
ter of a Milo to provide a bed," says
the newspaper man.
Like the Black Hole of Calcutta.
"Between the six of us we managed
to garner enough straw to cover the
entire floor, except for a space about
three feet wide, which we left for our
luggage and to sit in. We were given
a chair each, mostly dirty and dilapi-
dated, but no table. It was not until
some 'days later that each horsebox
was provided with a wooden shelf
about four feet long, to which were
affixed six hooks; that was the entire
accommodation that was given for
our crockery and cutlery, for the lard-
er that we afterward began to accu-
mulate and for our clothing:
"Whenever fresh groups of prieon-
ere arrived the officials at,once order-
ed them to the loft of our stable,
known as Barrack VI., as though it
had an inexhaustible capacity. The
result was that the loft of Barrack
VI, was so crammed with prisoners,
all sleeping on straw sacks packed
-close to one another that the place,
with its low lying roof, its little win-
dows, its stifling atmosphere, its dis-
mal light and its fetid smells, gave
the impression of a, veritable Black
Hole of Calcutta. But it was not un-
til March, 1915, that the American
Ambassador set eyes on this scandal-
ous spectacle, from which he recoiled
with a shudder and denounced the loft
as unfit for habitation; and not until
three months later that its inmates
were transferred to other barracks."
Hardships in Camp.
"There were hardly more than a
score of tin washing basins provided
for 250 men, and there was only one
tap from which to get water. The re-
sult was pandemonium.
"Every man who•succeeded in get-
ting a basin full of water and placing
it on a chair outside his box was im-
mediately surrounded by half a dozen
others, each ready to clutch the pre-
cious vessel. Soap was at a premium,
for none was provided by the military
authorities, /
"Every morning we marched
through a gateway, at which a sen-
try was posted, past the rear of the
grand stands of the race course, to
the kitchen, where we defiled past
huge steaming cauldrons, from which
fellow prisoners, with long ladles,
baled some dark liquid into our bowls.
The taste of the beverage was repul-
sive: it was innocent of milk and su-
gar, bub it was something hot, and
we gulped as much of it down as we
could stomach. We were also given a
slab of dark brown bread, which had
to last for the day.
"The cases of brutality occur;ed al-
most all during the first winter. • One
of the worst was the battering and
bruising of a poor Maltese lad with-
out provocation by a cowardly sol-
dier, though much worse was the case
of a sailor who was so badly bruised
in his cell by a couple of guards that
he had to be removed to a camp hos-
pital where he died." •
German Hatred Shown.
"Several men gave up the struggle
of trying to reconcile themselves to
their lot; they either attempted to
escape or to commit suicide or they
became victims .of mental derange-
ment. The number of attempts at es-
cape was comparatively small, and
the successes were fewer still,
"A vengeful spirit was shown in
the camp at a time when the always
scanty apportionments of food were
reduced. It was in February, 1015,
when the ration of war bread was cut
from one,flfth to one-sixth of a three
pound loaf.
"The captains appealed to the mili-
tary officer in charge of the stores to
give them a few hundred loaves in
addition in order to avert a threaten-
ed riot. Whereupon that saturnine
officer replied: •
"'Your Government wants to starve
us out. Very well, then, you shall be
the -ere" ,tn he starved ontt' "

"Very good, sir," says the sergeant -

There arises a clattering on the cob-
bles of the French farmyard; voices
call out orders; the watercarts are fill-
ed; horses are harnessed to their
limbers; the mail and the rations are
piled on their wagons; and ten min-
utes later the whole column 10 stand-
ing' ready in, the dusk, the transport
me mounted, quartermaster, the
n mo to the artermaate ,

foot,
Tho sound of a whistle, a straining
of horses, the cracking of a whip, and
the transport rumbles and polts out of
the fm a
ar y rd gate on its way towards
the trenches.
Away ahead the first star -shells
shoot up and sink slowly in brilliance
,to the earth again. All the way
along the horizon little sudden pricks
of flame come from Vie enemy's guns,
the soft "pop" of bursting shrapnel
sounds through the darkness—for it
would_ be folly to set out before night
hid you from German observers, and
the "heavies" away on the right crash
and rumble and then crash again, as
they burst among the broken houses.
The road—a narrow strip of pave witI•i
bottonleas, clinging mud on either side
of it—is thronged with limbers of oth-
er regiments, with cookers, ambulance,
A. S. C. lorries laden with tools and
trench stores and piles . of sandbags,
orderlies on bicycles, wounded man on
their way down to the field ambulance,
and men from hospital on the way
back to their units. And through or
with this stream winds the Llransport
officer at the head of his column.
Danger on Every Hand.
Now and then there is a sudden halt
—the enemy. are • shelling the road a'
little farther up rnd there is nothing
to do but wait. ,—Phe transport officer
fumes to and fro, for he has under
his command a dozen men, more
horses, and six or seven limbers, all
packed tightly together on a narrow
road with the Germans shelling in
front and an, interminable line of
transport waiting behind. If the
Boehe gunners lengthen their range
by a hundred yards or so—
"Lead on," comes the word from far-
ther up, and the whole road is mov-
ment again. The laden limbers crawl
along over the pave till they reach a
battered old building that looms up
through the night—the dumping
ground where the supplies have to be
left for the men in the trenches.
Privates tramp to and fro with picks
and shovels and ammunition; a
sergeant is there to see that the ra-
tions for the different companies are
placed in different piles; a post -
corporal hurries hither and thither, in
search of "D" Company's letters,
which have been mislaid, and the
transport officer and quartermaster
supervise and control everything—al-
ways in the most impenetrable dark-
ness, save when 'a star -shell lights up
the white faces, the sweating horses,
the gleaming mud.
The transport officer gives the word,
and the empty limbers jolt out of the
yard on to the road again to join in
the stream that flows back towards
the billets and sleep.
Nights after night there is the same
slow crawl along the road pitted with
shell -holes, and same halts, the same
dead horse and broken limber in the
ditch, and the same knowledge that, in
a moment or so, your own horses may
be struggling in their death agony,
your own Iimbers splintered and
smashed, your own men lying dead or

This' is the only reflection Nicholas
II seems tb have made upon his cap-
tivitywithin w t n the precincts of Tzarskoe
Selo castle,
He was talking to Count Bencken•
dorff, former grand marshal of the
Russian court, who shares the former'
Czar's captivity. 'The fomer ruler;
spoke vary sadly, his oyes filled with;
tears at the recollection of his cloister.:
ed, guarded life, and to hide hie emo-
tion he hastily turned his head aside
and Iighted a oigarette. '
Peering through the iron railings
that surround the palace grounds pea
pie can from time to time get a
glimpse of the former Czar through
the foliage. It was thus I saw him:
recently. He emerged from his suite'
of rooms to the palace steps where he'
joined Count Bencendorff.
Nicholas was wearing the uniform'
of a colonel of the Fourth Tieralleurs'
regiment. He seemed to me to be ire
excellent health and in no wise cast
down by his dethronement, (lis chat'
with the Count was- apparently on a'
pleasant subject for he never ceased
to smile.
Guarded by 150 Men.
I saw the couple stroll slowly
through the grounds, Their talk evi-
dently was about horticulture, for'
from, time to time they halted before'
various flower .beds, and the former
Czar pointed with his cane at certain
blooms. No sooner had they begun
their promenade than an officer and;
three soldiers with bayonets fixed ap-
peered seemingly from nowhere and'
followed them at a short distance,
The walk did not last long, and be-'
fore disappearing into his apartments
Nicholas turned and gravely saluted
the officer who had been dogging his
footsteps.
Watch is kept upon the Romano:
family by 150 men distributed in the
palace and gardens. They form a
triple circular cordon around 'the
palace. In the interior only three
soldiers mount guard, but Colonel
Cobilinelcy, commandant of the palace,
has the right at any hour of the day or
night to enter the spacious room with-
out' the formality of announcing his
visit in advance, while the officers on
duty can at any time remind the cap-
tives of the regulations they have un-
dertaken to respect. Their task, how-
ever, is rendered easy by the cold and
dignified demeanor of the prisoners.
At meals Nicholas is always in a
good humor, and never refers tc his
downfall. He oats simple fare with-
out complaint.
