The
Hidden Hour
BY J, B. HARRIS-BURLAND
CHAPTER XIV.—(Cont'd.) 1
At nine o'clock the next morning
the chambermaid knocked at Ditton's
door, and, receiving no answer, walk -1
ed into the room and drew up the 1
blinds. To her surprise she saw that
the bed was empty. It had been slept
In, but Mr. Ditton had evidently;
changed his mind and risen at an;
earlier hour. She went downstairs
and told the landlord's wife—a thin,
weary -looking woman of fifty with a
white face and grey hair.
"Oh, well," said Mrs. Turby, "it
doesn't matter. If he's gone, he's
gone, and there's an end of it. No fear
of him not paying like ordinary folk."
The servant suggested that Mr Dit-
ton might have gone out for a walk
and that he would be back to break-
fast.
"Well, if that's so," said Mrs. Jurby,
"it is so, and there'll be breakfast for
him if he do come." She turned and
saw Mr. Vernon walking slowly down
the stairs. "Good -morning, sir. You
don't happen to know if Mr. Ditton
has gone out for a walk, .do you, sir?"
"I rather think he went up to town
by the early train," Vernon replied.
"I was with him last night until half -
past eleven, and he said something
about having to he in London early."
"But he told the master as he'd go
by the 10.30, sir."
"Yes, I heard him. Then, I think,
after you all went to bed, he changed
his mind. To tell you the truth, Mrs.
Jurby, I don't quite remember. I was
half asleep myself."
Mrs. Jurby departed grumbling, and
Vernon went into the coffee -room and
ate a very hearty breakfast. An hour
later he paid his bill and set out on
's' tramp to London. In the village he
)net Mr. Jurby, talked to him for a
few minutes, and went, on his way.
When Mr. Jarby reached the inn,
his wife said, "I'd like to know where
you've been --out since half -past eight;
ndJeaving me with everything on myan s, A nice lot you men are.
here's the braakfafst still being kept
h t for fir, Ditton."
The landlord laughed and rubbed
hifat ands together.
'Tye been having a talk with the
doctor," he said, "about my lumbago,
I had to go early lest he should be out.
And you needn't wait breakfast for.
Mr. Ditton, because he's gone up to
London by the early train."
"Oh, he has gone, has he? Who
told you that?"
One of the farmers who sent his
milk up by the same train. He saw.
Mr. Ditton come running up to the
station, just in time to catch the
train,"
"A nice lot you are, and so's he,
giving all this trouble. Well, all I
hope is that he don't come back. I
don't care for that sort. :And it don't
do the place no good, folk knowing
that there's a detective in the house=
keeps: 'em away from the bar,"
CHAPTER XV.
"I don't know how I can ever repay
you," said Ruth, as she took Dr. Tre-
horn's outstretched hand. I certainly
cannot find words to thank you. I—if
it had not been for you—", She paused
with tears in her eyes. Trehorn looked
uncomfortable. He hated a scene, and
wished that he had stayed at home.
"Oh, nonsense, Lady Bradney," he
replied. "I just did what I thought
best for everybody. Now I haven't
come here to be thanked. There's a
good deal to be discussed, and I may
not have much time. Is your husband
-tinning down to -night?"
"No, He is coming down to -morrow
morning.
Trehorn looked out of the window at
the white -capped waves of the sea.
"What a jolly little place this is," he
said; "evert in this weather."
"It was so good of you to come—on
a day like this. It vas raining in
torrents this morning, and I' was cer-
tain you wouldn't come."
Trehorn laughed and said that a
doctor had to be out in all weathers.
But this really is a ripping little
place," he continued, "likebeing on a
ship, eh? I suppose at 'high tide you
get the spray right against this win-
dow."
Yes, and the wind makes the house
rock --It was terrible last night. You'd
like to smoke, wouldn't you?" She
took a box of cigarettes from a table
and held it open.
"Thanks" he said; "I can't smoke
when I'm
"Thanks," he
explained that Ruth was able to get
rid of the :idea that her husband, al-
ready suspecting her, had purposely
motored down to South Barton en the
Friday in order to come upon her'
unawaree.
Trehorn soon : took his departure.
Sir Alexander left the room with his
guest, and Ruth, longing to be alone
for a few minutes, lit a cigarette to
calm her nerves.
What a fool she had been to start
and grow red in that guilty fashion!
But for that nothing whatever had
happened. There had been nothing out
of the way either in Dr. T;rehorn's.
visit or in her husband's, unexpected
arrival. It was only the combination
of the two events that had frightened
her,
Ruth wondered if her husband had
noticed her confusion.", It had only
lasted for a few seconds and it was a
dark afternoon, and her back had been
to the window.
"The .whole affair is getting on my
nerves,"' she thought. "Sooner or later
I shall give myyself away completely."
(To be continued.)
He Made the Crew.
"I've made the crew!" cried Frank;

calling upon the family.

and he said to himself: "How grateful Yor an hour, and if we cant go out
she is, but I wish she wouldn't make there are rowing machines for us to

Ruth made him sit in the most com-
fortable chair by the fire, and she lit a
cigarette herself. For nearly a min-
ute there was silence, and then Tre-
horn said, "I'm afraid there's danger
ahead, Lady Bradney. Ditton was
down at the inn for three days. I
don't want to frighten you, but, of
course, this visit of Ditton's means
that they're on the track. He carne
quite openly—no disguise or anything
of that sort. He left the day before
yesterday."
"Did he come to see you, Dr. Tre-
horn?"
"No, and that's what I don't like
about the business. Now I think I'd
better tell you just what has happened
--everything. Then you'll see how we
stand."
He told her about his servants,
about Ardington's visit and the two
red feathers, .about the lie he had told
Merrington to account for her ap-
pearance in the doorway of the con-
sulting room, about Ardington's ef-
forts to repair .their one fatal error.
"Of course," he said, "we ought
never to have gone to the railway sta-
tion. I ought to have driven you right
up to London. But for Ardington, all
the fat would h ve .been in the fire."
She asked .hlni many questions
about Ardington. It :seemed to her
that sooner or later everything would
depend on Ardington's good will and
ability. She could. trust Dr. Trehorn,
but Ardington was .so far, to her, an
unknown quantity.
"With two such friends," she said,
"I feel quite safe."
Trehorn made no reply, and she
looked at him anxiously. And then
as he was still.silent, she said, "Dir{
the detective go "to see Mr. Arding-
ton?"
"No. Ardington told me that yes-
terday."
Mrs. Watson came in with a tray.
She was a thin, hard -faced woman of
sixty—lean and strong and capable.
Ruth chatted about South Barton
until they were alone again. Then.
Trehorn said, "We made a terrible
mistake in going to the railway sta-
tion. I can never forgive myself for
that. So much depends on the man
Ardington bribed—one does not care
to depend on a man like that. Have
you anything you think I ought to
ow?"
kknn"Yes," Ruth replied, and while they
were having tea she told Trehorn
about Fletcher and the fur coat and
the hat. The young doctor's face was
very grave as he listened to the story.
"It looks remarkably like black-
mail," he said. "I'm afraid, Lady
Bradney. Look here, I want you to
understand exactly why I have kept
your secret. It was because I wanted'
to put things straight—between you
and your husband. But it seems to
me that we are getting into a kind of
quicksand. It's got hold of us and
it's dragging us down—slowly. Don't
you think, Lady Bradney, it would be
better for you to tell your husband --
everything P'
Ruth hesitated before she replied,
and she had only said, "It is too late.
You see, Dr. Trehorn—" when the
door opened and Sir Alexander Brad-
ney walked into the room.
Afterwards, on thinking over what
had happened, Ruth wondered why
she had not been equal to the occasion
why, at the first sight of her hus-
band standing there in the doorway,,
she had not been able to control the
sudden start and the fear in her eyes,
and the red flush that spread over her
face. There was nothing in the fact
that Trehorn was there alone with
her. It was so easily explained.
"Bello, Trehorn," said Bradney
cheerfully, "I'm glad you were able to,
come." He kissed his wife. "You
look all the better for the change,
Ruth. I'm glad I persuaded you to
stay down here, I'll have some tea.
Cold day fol motoring, Trehorn."
Yes, Sir Alexander, I had to see a
Iman at Romney and so I came on here.
I couldn't get away to -morrow."
"Oh, yes, it was to -morrow you were
to have come. I forgot. Well, we're
',pleased to see you at any time. How's
M.errington?"
I Trehuin gave a satisfactory account
1 of his patient and then the conversa-
tion became general.. They talked of
the weather, of South "Barton, of poli-
tics- -of anything but that which was

Baking Black Paper White.
Old newspapers and books are used
to Make cardboard and coarse wrap-
ping paper. It is difficult, however, to
produce white paper from waste print-
ed paper. Various attempts have been
made to dissolve the oily or resinous
portion• of the printing inks with solu-
tions of soap, petroleum, caustic sodas
and so forth in order to wash away
the black pigment afterward.
There was some time ago invented a
process for removing the ink pigment
by treating the printed paper with
boiling solutions of borax. The hope
is expressed that this method may act
as a' check on the rapid deforestation
of this country and avert' a condi.t,iion.

THE GREATEST BEAUTIFIERS..
Undoubtedly good health, cleanli-
ness and happiness are the greatest
beautifiers. We can not always attain.
all three, but as long as water and
plainfood are available, we can have
the cleanliness of body (within and
without) which is so necessary for
good health. Good health .is usually.
dependent on good habits, a.and so is
by no means unattainable, while hap-
piness is partly habit, partly .depen-
dent on good health, and can some-
tinges be cultivated. These beautifiers
must be supplemented by good sense,
and that is a quality which none dare
ignore.
Many people claim that happiness is
the greatest beautifier, and while I
would not dispute its effect, I know
that sometimes a sad face Can be very
beautiful. But admiration for "an
interesting llor" went put of style
years ago, We now admire the glow
of health, the natural glow, not that
which is applied by a hare's foot and
a 'Iipstick. -
Practice the following rules if you
would have both good health and good
looks;
Refuse to worry. That's Rule 1,
the most important and the hardest.
If you are too nervous to be able to
control your mind, follow the rest of
the treatment and the worries will
seem Iess important as you feel bet-
ter able to cope with them
Rule 2: ' Eat'ehealth-giving ;foods.
Fresh fruits, cooked fruits, graitani
bread, rice, oatmeal, potatoes,: cauli-
flower, carrots, greens and other fresh
vegetables, salads, nuts, buttermilk,
sweet milk, cream, eggs; bread, butter,
broths, and meats which are roasted,
broiled or stewed, not fried. These
foods are listed with the most im-
portant ones first. Such. a diet will
make the elimination of the body nor-
mal, and perhaps make Rule 8 un-
necessary.
Rule 3. Knead the abdomen, if the
bowels are sluggish, in order to stim-
ulate their action.
Rule 4. Take plenty of outdoor ex-
ercise. Gardening is a wonderful help,
so you can begin your home treatment
when you get ready to start your next
summer's garden. Take walks in the
open, climb hills.
Rule 5. Sleep eight hours at night,
and if quite run down, two extra
hours in the afternoon. Always sleep
with the windows wide open..
Rule. 6 is about bathing. In winter,
take .a11of less than two warm baths
a weeks in summer, one every day,
before retiring. If you are not sleep-
ing well, gill the tub with water at 102
deg. F., get in for two minutes, then
let it cool to 93' deg. and stay in half
an hour. This rarely fails to induce
sleep.
Every night, strip off your clothes—
in a warm room, of course—and rub
the body vigorously all over with a
rough Turkish towel. ' It stimulates
the blood, frees the pores of collected
matter and helps to make the com-
plexion fresh and clear.
These are the rules for health, fol-
low' them, and see how much prettier
you'll. look!
The soaps, creams and lotions which
best suit you, must not be overlooked.
Toothpaste, talcum powder, and such
other aid to the toilet as are required
for your own particular needs will add
to your comfort and appearance, but
the foundation of all good looks ` is
good health.

MITTENS FOR HOUSEWORK.
A number of household tasks are
more pleasantly and quickly done if
1 the hand is slipped into ' a suitable
mitten before commencing the work.
Of course the mitten should be kept
in a convenient place.
From old flannel stitch uptwo mit-
tens, preferably having thumbs. Slip
these on when polishing the silver and
see how much quicker and easier the
not always welcome work goes than.
when the polishing flannel is held in
the hand.
A mitten makes an ideal 'oven
holder; make it long so as to protect
the wrist and arm from the heat if
short -sleeved work dresses are habit-
ually worn.
A mitten with thick palms is ex-
cellent for lifting and carrying out
ash pans, for the handles of these
receptacles often have a way of being
very hot and uncomfortable when
taken directly from the stove. They
also protect the hand from the ashes,
which are quite likely to prove irri-
tating to the skin.
A mitten included in the stove -
cleaning outfit will protect the hand
when dusting or shining the stove.
EACH .DAY'S WORK.
My little seven-year-old daughter
has a set of those pictures showing
cute little maids doing their work for
each day. Once when Betty was won-
-tiering what to do, I suggested that
every day she do some of the work
that was intended for that particular
day, just as the little girls in the pic-
tures were doing.
She agreed readily and was eager
to begin. So on Monday she washed
out a few small pieces I gave her and
ironed them on Tuesday. Wednesday
she went to see a friend. For her
Thursday's sewing I cut out a square
of lawn and showed her how to hem
it nicely for a handkerchief, her first
real lesson in needlecraft. Friday she
helped me about my cleaning, really
helped, and on Saturday, cooking day,
I let her prepare a simple dish. On
Sunday she went to Sunday school.
Then she was anxious to begin the
week all over again.
Now this plan of occupation not
only kept her happy and interested
but really instructed her in all the
branches of household art. Realizing
its possibilities, I am planning to
make this form of play into a real
development --Alice A. Keen.

SURPRISE PUMPKINS.
The women of a club coined quite a
little sum of money from their sur-
prise pumpkins, They cut the tops off
a number of rather large pumpkins
and scooped' out the inside until no-
thing but a thin 'rind remained. These
were neatly lined with waxed paper
end dainty luncheons packed carefully
in thin, using' ham and chicken sand-
wiches, small cakes of different kinds,
Rickles, salads, nuts, fruit and home-
made candies. No two pumpkins. Con
tamed exactly similar luncheons, and
in each was put a little trinket or a
toy. The tops were attached to the
shells by means of green ribbons run
through holes. These pumpkins were
auctioned off at booths made out of
cornstalks, and lit up with jack-o'-
lanterns. Long tables were provided
on which to eat their lunches, and
sweet milk, buttermilk and lemonade
