Her men kept the officers engaged until Pat was safely away, and then they,, likewise, jolted over their oppo- nents and ran away. The- officials shock themselves, brushed the dust from their clothes and started again • to investigate the House of Mystery. Pat had fled to a room on the ground floor of the • house and called several of her men into hasty council. She told them that the government was seeking her arrest, and warned them that they must be alert in their own defense and her protection. While the conference was under way, the Apaches were surprised, by the secret service men who ;.iddenly appeared at the open avindow and cov- ered the occupants of the room with •their revolvers. "Hold up your hands," was the stern command that gave notice to the Apaches that they were arrested. "We'll come in and get you, and drop the first person that makes a move." While two of the officers covered the Apaches with their revolvers, the other climbed in through the window; and then opened the door to admit more secret service agents who had been waiting in the hall. There was nearly an even number of Apaches and officers crowded into the room when Pat unexpectedly get into' action. Hurling two large vases at the heads of the secret service men, the momentary distraction gave op- portunity for the Apaches to engage in hand-to-hand scuffles with the of- ficers nearest to each man. And in the excitement Pat bleared the sill of the open window, and disappeared. The alarm had- secretly sounded through the House of Mystery and in a few moments there were re - enforcements at hand to stand off the attacks•of the officers, and eventually' turn the battle against the intruders. In the meanwhile, Pat was set free to go her way without interference. She had purposely vaulted through the windoW to test the 'further cleverness of the secret service men. and in her desire to continue the excitement she was not disappointed. Two men had remained outside on watch, and when Pat appeared they took up the chase as she.dashed away from the -window. While it would have been easy for Pat to find shelter in one of the many secret uassages that opened to the House of Mystery, the girl in her eagerness for adventure, decided to gi e the •secret service men a touch of excitement. She ran to the lower end of the grounds, where a wooden struc- ture served as a. garage and sleeping quarters for some of her men, and climbed to the roof. She ran along the weatherboard! above the eves, crossed the top of the roof. and scrambled into the upper branches of a tree, that promised an easy means of escape to the grounds. When she made for the roof, one of her pirseers followed her, while the other man ran around to the other side of the building. Closely watching Pat's movements, the officer discovered her intention to escape by climbing down the. tree and was waiting for her when she slid to the ground. Taking no chances with his slippery antagonist, the officer clamped one of his handcuffs around Pat's lyrist and, when his fellow of- ficer joined him, the two men led Pat to a side street where an automobile was wetting their arrival. At that moment a group or: Pat's men arrived to contest possession of their leader. To make their capture secure, the secret service men clamped 'the loose -hanging handcuff to the frameworll of the automobile, and then plunged into a fight with the •Apaches. Pat encouraged her men by her shouts and advice. her fastened -• to the automobile she could do nothing mare in the way of helping decide the battle. . The struggle was fierce, and this time the secret service men won out, for the Apaches were outnumbered by the officers and could not prevent their victory, One by one the officers flung off their antagonists, and then scrambled for the running -board of their motor: The chautietar had his engine run• ping, and when all the officers had ' either tumbled into the machine or Were hanging onto the running -board, the auto started and dashed away with Pat securely ,a prisoner in the clutches of her adversaries. FIFTEENTH EPISODE The Rescue. As Patricia Molitor, 'Was hurried the stree o therea cit is £ through t y g "nthefederal o her wayto decalprison,� she realized that her venturesome hazard in an Attempt to do a public service, had led her irate most unenviable peti- tion, Whatever heiedefense might be, when tbe,timo'ahbuld come for her to face the authorities, her unpreeedent. ed conduct would be hard to a.ecount for. Now, with one hand man'aoled-to the tonnean of the automobile in which she was being taken,, captive, to answer for her participation in the air-raid on New York, she realized that her Apaches, active hosts in her interest and under, her commend, might, not be able to extricate he from her predic- ament. But the girl was too • sure- hearted and self-possessed to become panic stricken. As ehe glanced nervously around her, while her captors sped toward their goal, Pat .discovered an automo- bile closely following the one in which she was a prisoner. When she was taken into . the federal building and brought before the examining officer, 'she was greatly relieved to observe 'two of her Apaches among the crowd of curious people who thronged the MOM. • j "We must hold you for definite Word front Washington," said the examining officer when be had done questioning Pat and the secret service men who had brought her before him. "Take her to the, north wing and confine her in the federal corridor. It will not be necessary to put her under lock and key until we get more defi- nite instructions from Washington," cintinued the officer. When Pat was led from the room she glanced over her shoulder and caught a look of reasam'ance from her men, who had closely followed the proceedings. She felt that she was not helpless, by any means, and the prison corridor held no terrors for her when she was placed in the long, high- ceilinged apartment, under lock and key. The corridor had four cells on the side nearest the main structure. The other side of the corridor was rnark- edeleY the, outer wall of the building. High above the girl's head three win- dows, stoutly barred, opened onto the street that led across the end of the jail. Only one of the cells opening onto the corridor was occupied. When Pat asked her guard to identify his other prisoner, the keeper replied: "You're trying to make me think you don't know that he's one of the air -raiders," a knowing smile aeeom- pan ying• his remark. "Sure as you levee` don't know him," said Pat. "But if you have no objec- tions, I'II walk over and get acquaint- ed with him. "There can be no harm in that„” an- sw,gred the guard. And Pat proceeded to make herself agreeable to her fel- low prisoner. After she had overcome his suspie cions, the man behind the bars was free with his information. He dis- closed that he was one of the anarch- ists who had been captured when the airship descended. His companions had escaped. While Pat and the anarchist were talking, a visitor was admitted to the corridor. The .newcomerwas there to talk with the anarchist, and the two men were allowed to converse undis- turbed, through Pat's adroitness in keeping the guard interested in her- self When the visitor had gone, Pat re- turned to the cell door, where the an- archist was waiting to give her a sur- prising bit of confidence. The prison- er said: • My pal tells me that the cops have located out headquarters• in 'W'est Farms, and are expected to raid early in the morning. But if they try to take the gang with a rush, they will get an unexpected salute. We've got the old Frenchman's shack all wired up for an explosion, We are apt to get some news before daylight to -mor- row," Pat continued her sympathetic inter- est in her new acquaintance, and by dint of careful handling, induced him to give her thg exact location of "the old Frenchman's shack." The girl's brain was at work, even though she was in durance vile, with no immedi- ate hope of escape or release. Had she known that even while she was entering upon her first night in fail, Phil Kelly seas hurryin toward Washington) determined to obtain for her absolution from even a suspicion of wrong -doing, she would have felt relieved, "I wonder what my detectiveievill think when he learns I am locked up," Pat was saying to herself. Her thoughts were interrupted by the en- trance of the warden, who had come in response to the guard's summons. "My relief is half an hour late;' said the guard, "and I'm not liking the idea, of staying here overtime." After considerieg the matter for a moment the warden decided. "You can. go " he said to the guard "and I'll look in once in a while until the relief comes." So saying, the two officials departed, locking the door be- hind them, "That woman is safe enough," said the warden;• -as they wanted away.

"She is confined in the wing that faces onto the street, Three- win- dows open into the corridor, and our electric saw will ,go through the bars in ten minutes, We can have her out cif there, if luck breaks for us, before mid night," said one of the Apaches, whe had followed Pat to the jail. The men entered into hasty confer- ence, and scop organized a plan for their queen's releaiie,. The electric wagon that had been Purchased ' by the Anisettes when they had engaged in a raid on a trolley company, during the disturbances at - tenant, upon ten Po a recent labor strike, was put in readiness for the work. With everything prepared and in readiness, .the Apaches waited for darkness, and then ran their wagon, through infrequented streets, down to the jail, and began their work, Runping the wagon cloth under the wall of'the prison, the poorly lighted and practically deserted street gave an opportunity for the Apaches to use to excellent advantage the few mo- ments required to• -saw the bars pro- tecting the windows of the corridor in which Pat was now excitedly waiting for her rescuers. When the Apaches began sawing the bars of the window, far above her ,head, Pat knew what it meant. (To be continued,) THE PULP INDUSTRY. Acts As a Conservator of Timber Re- - ¢purees—Benefits Farmer. Probablyno industry sheds so much waste as lumbering, says J. L. Love in Canada Lumberman. Competent authorities, suck es Dr. John 8. Bates, head of ,the Forest Products Labora- tories of Canada, estimate the logging waste left in the woods to be about 25 per ,cent. of the original tree. It is just here that the pulp mill gets in its first good work in its mission of conservation, and that in a double sense. Every lumberman is familiar with the "slash" that marks the trail of the logger through the bush; the topes and branches that are left behind to choke new growth and add to the fire hazard. Where a pulp mill is operated in connection with a sawmill a large proportion of this "slash" is trimmed and sent down the drive with the'logs to be made into pulp. Not Oily is this hitherto absolutely waste material turned into considerably more money value than its bulk in merchantable logs is worth, but the fire risk is reduced considerably. Waste eradication in the woods is only part of the pulp mill's mission, however. Having accounted for all the tops four inches and up at the narrow end, the mill still has a large field for raw materials to draw upon in the waste • from the saws. This waste amounts to about 40 per cent. of the original tree, and only a neglig- ible part of it is used in developing power to operate the plant. A con- servative estimate is that the total waste lumber for the pulp mill to work up amounts to between 00 and 70 per cent. of the tree, and of this less than half is available for pulp, but'in spite of this margin of quite irreclaimable refuse, the above figures indicate that the pulp mill is doing its bit in the present world-wide campaign to cut out waste, and incidentally to place the lumber industry on a more stable foundation than its own unaided feet have ever provided, of late years, at any rate. . There is a broad economic ahpect to the operations of a pulp mill in addi- tion to that already noted. A. mill producing one hundred tons of pulp a day calls for two hundred cords of pulp wood. To provide this maw ma- terial requires larger lumbering oper- ations than most coucerns cover, and the farmer has to be called in to make good the deficit. Hitherto, clearing his land has been the bane of the farmer's existence, and it has been done largely only as government regu- lations compelled. Now, under the .spur of high and advancing prices for pulpwood, land is being cleared as if by magic, and large sections of the reclaimed surface are being put under crop. The economic aspect of this is obvious. - The farmer has more money to spend and industry is. benefited right along. RUSSIAN CROWN JEWELS. Said to .Have Been Valued at $100,- 000,000—Have Disappeared. The Russian crown'jewels, which, according to rumor, have disappear- ed from their safe in the Hermitage at Petrograd, are said to have been appraised at $100,090,060. No other collection in Europe approaches this hoard f or. magnificence. The collection consists of more than • forty strings of finest pearls, among them the largest outside Ala: An Amerieati society woman has of- fered $100,000 for two pearls in the collection.. In addition there are thou. - sands of.otber individual pearls. 'Some pe the largest rubies known are it" the collection, including the largest pigeon -blood ruby in Europe, a historic gem miped in Ceylon and said to have at biobcly history. The crown jewels also contained seven or more of the finest emeralds known, in addition to many smaller gents of the sane kind.. The great prize of the collection, however, is the famous Orlon dia- mond, about which centre many le- gends wild whose history is the basis for innumerable stories dealing with the curse which is superstitiously said to follow the possession oe certain jewels The Orloff diamond, also call- ed the Koh i Tur, was stolen by a French soldier fn om the eye of a Brah- min idol, agate stolen from him by a ship's eaptanz and after much blood shed and various adventures sold in Amsterdam, where it was bought by' the Russian count, Cvrigori Orloff, for $450,000. Count Orloff presented the jewel to his ft+iend, the Empress Cath- erine II., who heeded it down to her followers. The jewel, which weighs. :t94 a carats, cut, formed the end of the imperial sceptre wind is called the sceptre diamond, Jewels collected by all the Ronnie. off autocrats from Mikhail, founder of the house, to the present ex -Czar, with eouuttless docoratioes, gold ornaments and priceless plate, are in the missing hoard; IMPRESSIONS OF THE GREAT WAR TOLD BY A NEWSPAPER WRITER VISITING TOE FRONT. Observations of a Man Who Spent Months Taking Motion Pictures in tate Trenches, During the seven. eventful mentbs I travelledoverthsd devastated area of France and Belgium my ideas mater- ially changed as regaree the war, writes Mr, Griffith. I did not And the 11rab and solemn thing I expected. In- deed. I found millions of young men keen for the game, ready 'and eager for their work. This spirit even pre- vailed in the front line trenches, and at Ypres during the recent drive the men were - as happy and juirilan't as though they wore in then comfortable homes in London, It Is here, directly under lh•e fi'oni the Bache guns,that. men are tested to the Ernest fibres of their being and come out greater men and finer citizens, with a fuller under- standing of what true brotherhood in service means for'the good of all, Life in the Trenches. Life in the trenches has its com- pensations. It also has its hardships. But the former outweigh the latter. The -morale of the British and French troops is magnificent. The work is peing most thoroughly carried on by a wonderful organization. •I sat for days in the first line, or communicat- ing,:trenches waiting for the call to charge, This waiting seamed tedious; and I often wondered as I sat there watching the "Tummies" whether any impression could Ile made against such a war machine as the Prussians are credited with. Sometimes the opposi- tion would .yield only a few yards— but even this .was considered a suc- cessful day's work. It may surprise you to know that it takes on an average three thousand pounds of cold lead to kill a soldier in this great war. It is my observation that England's man power cannot be diminished to any extent within the next ten years, for it is an apparent fact that the boys of the younger generation aro growing up faster than their elder brothers are being cut down in battle. It sounds brutal+to say "cut.clown in battle," but that is the only way to express it. • Fighting Without Precedent. The actual 'fighting I have seen is entirely different from anything here- tofore recorded in history. And yet the death 'rate is lower than in the Russo-Japanese War, and the deaths caused by the different methods of fighting the Prussians have forced upon us do not compare proportionate- ly with the fatalities by disease, to- gether with the fighting, when the United States were engaged with Spain in 1898. General Haig has con- served the man power of his troops, and yet he has pushed steadily for- ward. He has done this by utilizing to the full his rw,onderfnl artillery or- ganization. The great cost of this war is in mmnitJAne. The creeping barrage, as it is called, is perhaps the most won- derful example of skill in handling artillery ever developed on a battle front. I inarvellecl at the cold-blooded way the troops followed behind the bursting shells at intervals of twenty- five yards. I actually saw groups of soldiers, while waiting far the shells to clear the enemy trenches, take out their newspapers and read calmly, at least outwardly, while they puffed at cigarettes. They would thus remain unperturbed while the barrage com- pleted its immediate work. Wonderful Organization. It was during the last attacks along the St. Julien road that I fully realiz- ed what a wonderful organization an army is. This applies also to the French, where at points further south I witnessed their work. Where the French and British Iines merge the troops co-ordinate with a strength that can spell. nothing" but success, It has been only recently that the British and French have discovered how to combat the so-called "pillbox" method of warfare. It was any privi- lege to examine the first plans drawn up for the War Office to get the best of these concrete redoubts. 'They are built of reinforced concrete, with openings on two sides.. These open- ings are merely foot -length slits, from which the Roches are able to pour a veritable hurrieanie of machine grin fire into the 'face of the advancing Allies, The method of attack is to divide the attacking party intcethtee groups, with the right and left wings protect- ed by Lewis machine guns, The cen- tre group advances cautiously, drop- Ping into convenient shell holes when the gunners from 'distant redoubts spot them. They gradually week their way, up to the solid wall of the re- doubt—one without openings—and at- tempt to throw their bombs and gren- ades into the openings on tine side walls, If they are successful the :fate of the men inside is imagined. The heavy artillery :has time and again :'clued di.reet hits on these redoubts, but the shells merely break off a cor- ner mettle concrete, Often, when cap- tured, these redoubts contained the bodies of men stunned to death from the cottitussion o:f the shells. Hindon- burg's greatest show of strength hag been with 'these redoubts. An Inexperienced Marshal. The London Times tells of an old Irishman, long desirous of official dignity, who was finally appointed marshal in a parade on the ]ring's birthday. Veterans, bandsmen and school children lined the etude of the town, patiently waiting the signal to start, . Suddenly the marshal, on a praite- ingg charger, dashed ep the street. After inspecting the procession, he - gave his horse a touch with the whip, stood tits in 'his stirrups and shouted; "Reedy, nawl Every ane of yez kept) stitep wid the horsel ..larch." irlM�- J A.

When ehildeen reach this age they often-times :form a dislike for certain feechs. Do not seek to convince the child of the goodness or the neccrZ sit, of eating the food in question; rather try new ways of serving it. Fried foods should not appear in the child's menu. Large quantities of fat retard digestion, Meat or its equivalent should be served at least once a day, perfera,bly at the noon meal. The average child will demand sweetmeats; therefore it would be well for the mother to have the chil- dren help her in making these delect- able goodies, Have .old-fashioned gingerbread, oatmoel and crumb coolc- ies,once in a while. Do not get into the habit of giving the children a few pennies to buy cheap candies of unknown make and orin. e Tfiigboy or gi'1 more than fourteen years of age will require entirely dif- ferent food. The boy, owing the strenuous exercise, wants plenty of the coarser foods. IIe will care lit- tle or nothing for soups, salads or dainty desserts. He craves meats, potatoes and the ,plainer and more substantial desserts. It will take care and forethought to arrange the menu of this period of childhood. The boy will enjoy, for breakfast, Trot cakes, cereals, eggs, hash and other homemade dishes.

A minister staying for the week -end at a strange house in England was much impressed by the fact that each morning he heard the cook in the kitchen singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." He congratulated her on her morning hymn, "Thank you, sir," she said. "It's my egg -boiler. One verse for the missis, who likes 'em light, two for visitors, and three for the master, who loves 'em hard boiled." A hymn as an egg -boiler is bad enough, but as a lion-scarer it is sure- ly worse! A British airman landed.. in East Africa, with a broken propeller, in a bog, and night supervening, and' a lion approaching, he climbed a tree and prepared to put in the night there. He fell asleep, and' awoke to find two electric bulbs circling the tree. It was the lion waiting. He tells the story in a letter to a friend. "The tension was terrible. I wanted to scream, shout and yell. I roared three verses of 'The Achniral's Broom.' No applause. I went through my repertoire, I laughed as I finished 'Two Eyes of Grey.' It seemed so ridiculous, Then I switched on to hymns, 'Onward, Christian Soldiers,' and the only four verses I could re- member of `0 God, our help in ages pnsi:.' I sang the Amoss, too, and the lion, evidently fed up . with hymns, slunk off." The war lord is well known as a vain man and his collection of photo- graphs runs into thousands. While the books cone from every country, only German photographs are includ- ed, and those of the kaiser himself are numerous, NATURE AS A PACKER. Brazil Nuts Grow in Neat Spherical Boxes. ' Everybody is familiar with Brazil nuts (sometimes called "monkey nuts"), but few people know how they grow. Nature furnishes them in ready- made packages, 1.e„ put up in neat, spherical boxes that are the fruit ,.yif eee a tree and that contain the mite, which are seeds. Such a box, half the size of a cocoa- nut, with a rough coat, is a quarter of an inch thick and contains twenty -odd nuts, so neatly and closely packed that if' they are'"taken out no human skill can put them all back again into the receptacle. There is another kind of tropical tree that has its nuts inclosed in a similar "pericarp," popularly known as the "monkeypot." It has a re- movable lid which, when taken off, discloses an opening just big enough for a monkey to put his hand in. To grasp the coveted nuts he closes his fist, and then finds himself unable to withdraw it. This is one of the most painful embarrassments to which a monkey can be exposed. Teasing a baby to make -it laugh is a crying shame. .BLANK.ETS CARPETS LACE •CURTAINS FEATHERS FURS DRAPERIES GOWNS TABLE COVERS (WILTS CeENTS' CLOTHING PARKER'S 792 Y©sige Quick Service Excellent Work Send for our Catalogue on Cleaning and Dyeing Moderate Charges Yle Pay.Cerriage Charges One Way. �!YE WORK% Cleaners and Dyora Street - �xer'�Sahrs;.,as�"`4iwia��� Limited Toronto nne Genuine Musical Insctvument bears "His - Master's Voice" trade mark— the The only Instrument that will meet all your musical require- ments and with Victor records will give you the best enter- tainment in the world.
