John Ansley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook preying upon other thieves. Amidst all the afternoon traffic on Fifth Ave. he knocks dawn a man whom he sees brutally rubbing a hunchback's hunch, and then runs. At an auction Ainsley makes a small purchase of tapestry and then sits back and watches the proceedings. The auctioneer holds up a golden box, studded with jewels, that had been made for a multimillionaire of vulgar tastes. The box is sold for $65,000 to Marcus Anderson, a man who be- came, during the war, one of the rich- est men in the world. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The grocer grinned. "It ain't hard to remember them," he said. "That's exactly my point," I told him. "You give me a list of your cus- tomers who pay their bill's promptly, and I'll give you five per cent. on every sale I make. And for your trouble, so you'll know your time isn't wasted, I7I give you twenty dollars right now." "F -air enough," said the grocer en- thusiastically. And he took me into his office. An hour later I left him, armed with a last that would have been worth money to a yellow newspaper. For the great public would have been in- terested to know that some of its fa- shionable idols never paid a bill, even a food -bill, until a court summons was served upon them. For the grocer, a simple-minded soul, had given me We names of those to -avoid as well as those to visit. He would have been surprised had he seen me, in my own apartment a little later, carefully de- stroying his list. For I wanted none of its details. What I wished to find out from my friend the grocer was the personnel of the household before which Andersen's town car had stop- ped. And who should know that per- sonnel better than the tradesman who supplied the house with food? And this I had Darned in casual oonversa- 'tion without seeming to ask for in- formation. The Duc de Montarlier, then, was the gentleman who had rented furn- fehed for a term of twelve months the private house on the sale -street near the Avennre. He was a distinguished - looking Frenchman. Ah, how well I knew that! His secretary, Raoul Les - tier, a hunchback, paid all his bulls and paid them every week. The Duc had no other French servants. He had acquired -a staff of Japanese help from an employment agency, and so far as' my friend, the grocer knew, the Jape not only did the ordering but ran all the demesttic machinery. There were no women employed in the house. Visitors? My grocer did not know. I spent that evening in the public library, going over the files, for the past winter, of that New York paper which devotes most space to the chron- icling of ,social events. Yet, carefully as I studied the so-called society col- umns, I never ran across the name of the Due de Montarlier. The White Eagle, then, had acquir- ed no social prominence. That meant one of two things—that he dared not risk recognition, or that he was work- ing with a definite objective and not merely making the acquaintance of numbers of rich persons whom he hoped to rob. It was then safe to as- sume that Marcus Anderson was rich enough to be legitimate game for the Frenchman, and despite his wealth, stupid enough to make the White Eagle feel certain of success, But he had not robbed Anderson yet. That was obvious. The White Eagle was not the sort to linger on after the carcass was eaten. In bed that night I asked myself again the question: what, when and how? * The morning papers answered me. t For they chronicled yesterday's auc- tion, and in mentioning the purchase of the gold box by Marcus Anderson, added the illuminating line, "who sails A treat in the Peppt rmint.ilavored sugar-coated jacket and another in the Peppermint -flavored gum inside-. utmost value in long4artitrg delight An hour later I left him, with a list. rid myself of my exeitemtentt, xf . 1ner logic waa correct, the thing far me to do was to watch Anderson's house. It was one of the few aced aloud when 'I have regretted the lack of assistants. A few spies to report the situation, to map out the ground,--- Ibut a single link is mare powerful 'than a chain, because it tae no joints. If I failed because I lacked followers, could console myself by thinking of the hundreds, aye, thousands, of men who have gene to jail because their confederates betrayed then But I hated to fail, From the first moment when in a Parie dance -hall, I had seen Coehetb, the memory of his arrogant conceit had lingered with Me. I would rather reb him than have access to the vaults of the Treasury.. And if one man could outwit him, I would be that man. So I lingered that Wednesday night in the basement areaway of a house opposite the man - Sion of Anderson. Yesterday's balmy atmosphere had not Lingered until to- night. It was bitterly cold; yet ex- citement and the fear of being discov- eyed by a passing policeman kept me warm- And when I saw tho White Eagle and his secretary alight from an automobile and enter that garfish palace, I knew that my reasoning had thus far been •*, * * Now, I had mode no definite plan. Suddenly it occurred to me that even if the White Eagle and his companion descended the Anderson steepscarry- ing the fruits of crime in their hands, it would, be no easy matter for me to deprive them of those fruits. After all, I was no highwayman; I relied on wit and surprise for my success. Why, then, was I luring in this areaway? Before I answered this question, - I tried to put myself In the "White Eagle's place. He had cultivated Anderson's se- quaintance for the purpose of robbing the millionaire. That robbery must occur tonight or be indefinitely post- poned, It would be a robbery of fin esse and subtlety; the White Eagle would not resort to violence .save in the last extremity. Now, if the rob- bery were one of violence, the White Eagle's departure from Anderson's house would be a pellmell affair. Into such an affair I would not thrust my- self. On the other hand, if finesse and subtlety won the battle, the two crim- inals would leave their host in leis- urely fashion. In that case, where would they go? 1 -could not believe that the White Eagle had brought with him many of his Parisian followers. To do so would be to court suspicion. The French police keep in fairly close touch with the detective bureaus of other coun- tries. It might bepossible for the White Eagle and one or two compan- ions to slip quietly out of France without attracting notice. But if he took many 6f his followers -with -1 he would be running an unnecessary risk. It was fair to assume, then, that in this American venture of his, he was working practically alone—in which case he would not have many different rendezvous where he and his followers could meet. Also, the White Eagle, like any great general—and he was that—prepared in advance for de- feat, He would not wish to flee blind dy in tie event 01 victory; and in case of defeat it would not perhaps be nec- • essary to flee. In other words, if the armed White Eagle did not succeed in rob- bing Anderson, he would return quiet- ly to the house which he had rented. And if he succeeded in robbing the millionaire, he would probably return to that house. In his stay of several months in New York he must have ac- quired certain things of value and of. bulk, which he would wish to take with him in the event of flight, And prob- ably, unquestionably, if I knew the man, he would accomplish his purpose so subtly that he would have a start of at least an hour or two before his crime was discovered. Having no followers here to guard other rendezvous, it was almost in- evitable that he would return to lids house. T was cooling my heels to no purpose here. - So I went to the side -street on which. the White Eagle lived. Arrived in the neighborhood of his house, and follow- ing the same train of reasoning which had brought me here, I decided that he must have let his servants go for the night, if he had not, Indeed, discharg- ed them,. Nothing venture, nothing gain! I boldly rang the bell at the servants' entrance slightly below the street level. I rang it half a dozen times~, And then I did something which I rarely do, but at which I am extremely capable. I picked the•.look and entered the house. (To be continued.) for South America on Thursday to settle the final details in the amalga- mation of various cattle interests in the Argentine." Today was Wednesday. The White Eagle cultivated no acquaintsne.e with- out reason. He was friendly with An- derson because he intended to rob him. That robbery had not occurred up to yesterday. If it had not occur- red last night, it would occur today or tonight. And how would I turn this knowledge—foe it was knowledge; I knew criminals, and more than others I knew the White ragle—to my own pvoft? Frantically I tttudied the situation. The White Eagle, by posing as a noble- man, had ingratiFted himself with Alarms Anderson. Doubtless he had flattered the millionaire by refusing to meet Anderson's friends. He must have told his ertisl cetive victim ten!. Fe did not care to ltnow many Amer - keens, For Il a reach duke nnot.many people, attended many dinners his presence in this country could not be kept from the papers. The' White Eagle had been very friendly with Anderson at luncheon at the Mdra- eau. They were, seemingly, inti- niates. Some time today, then, the Frenchman would call, upon Anderson to say farewell, and then the robbery would take place. And there would be no other guests prevent when the White Eagle made that call, I could be sure of that, My roaeonting told n e that, anxlous ae Anderson might be to advertise his friendship with the bue, the White Eagle would have for- bidden such exploitation.

If ,woman were allowed by their' husbands to have a sound understand- ing of family ilnanees they would be the stabilizers and even supporters of the families of today, declares Mrs. Wi]liarn Laimbeer, financial edi, tor of "Delineator" in the current issue of the monthly. Men have no right to neglect to consult their Wivee oil matters concerning their ilnanoial standing in the opinion of this finan.. "pial expert. "I think," declares this expert, "the mon are tatting .a responsibility they have no right to assume, when they refuse to sharp financial problems with their wives. Women are brave crea• tures, They may not look ahead any too much, and it takes a blood pro- ducing curb to bring them to a halt, but they are undaunted, I know that were women to -day to acquire a sound financial knowledge they would be the family stabilizer, and in many oases the supporter," Advising a woman who had boon left her husband's money without the necessary knowledge of what to do with it, Mrs. Laimbeer says, "Entirely outside of the husband's mistake In failing to teach his wife something about financial matters, there are many lessons to be learned. First, that the house behind the invosment to be bought must be of absolute honesty and integrity. Second, that where the wife knows nothing about making investments, the life insurance should have been put into an income paying policy administered by some well-known Trust Company. Third, that a second life insurance policy should have been maintained for funeral and livingexpenses until the estate was settled. Fourth, that no man can lead a married life and pre- tend he's single in regard to flnancie] matters."

Placa two books on the floor about a foot apart an dcall that the goal. Then mark two start- i ing places six feet from the goals measuring it with the yardstick, and. place the pieces of tissue paper on the starting line. When the word is given each one tries to fan his paper through the goal first.

June, July and ,August especially are the months to continue feeding as before,, and May and September if they are very hot. If a child is a year old in. either July or August, It is much bet- ter to postpone weaning until Septem- ber. It it is a year old In June, it should be started on small amounts of cow's milk in February s.i that weaning can be completed in April— unless the health of child and mother is excellent and much care is taken weang in Juno.
