XIV Uncle Jini let loose a great roaring laugh and somehow the tenseness went out of the situa- tion. Nikki and Steve looked at each other in bewilderment. "Maybe we're crazy," said Nik- ki. "No, honey," said Uncle. Jim. "But you can put down the rifle, Steve. Fiske yonder is a detect- ive." "Detective?" "Jewelers Protective," said Fis- ke, briefly, and then he smiled. "I don't blame you being puzzled. Perhaps I haven't acted very de- tective -like. You see I knew ex- actly who Bancroft and Sarto were and they suspected pretty strongly who I was. But I could not act because this angle is just part of the entire case. If I tipped my hand too soon it would spoil the whole works." Steve laid the rifle on the bench. Nikki started to speak. Then Sarto stirred slowly and Steve raised the rifle again, but Fiske had the revolver in his hands and was stepping back. Santo slowly opened his eyes and ,sat up. His wavering; . ,glaeme finally centered.... on Fiske. To -Day's Popular Design By Carol Aimees TEA32 ,. Y eta:; IJ A' F. COPYRIGHT. 1039. tss` NEA SERVICE, 1'NC. "Okay, copper," he said, and turned away. "Bring the rope," said Fiske. They led Sarto to the same tree around which he had ordered Nik- ki and Steve, and the returning searchers. Fiske gave Steve the pistol and he pulled Sarto's arms back of him and around the tree, binding then securely, Then he tied his feet. "A little uncomfortable but not painful," Fiske observed. First Aid Job Nikki, meantime, had pushed her uncle away from Rance and taken over the first aid job, work- ing deftly and capably. Uncle Jim brought out a kit from the cabin and Nikki selected a long swabbing stick and twisted cotton around the end of it. She dipped the cotton end into a bot- tle of iodine and said: "This will hurt." Rance watching her admiringly. "Where did you learn all this?" he asked. "School. First aid course." Swiftly she ran the cotton swab through the wound, twisting it gently. Ranee grimaced once and then grinned at her. The bleeding had almost stopped. She took a roll of bandage, placed a fold of cotton at the wounds on each side of the shoulder and wound the bandage over and around the chest. `°There,Y, "Now said. � ow wa. need a sling. Wait a minute." She unknotted the neckerchief from around her throat and fitted it on. Rance. Suddenly, the job done, she felt a little weak. This would be a fine time to faint, she thought, now that everything's over. Then she remembered. The sun, was high in the heavens. So ,gush had' happened it seefnf'd as though it should be night.

The graceful floral motifs are appliqued in pastel shadee on white, with snatching borders to carry out a delightful color sa'hcine. They would be particu- larly charming ton if the towels themselves were in deep shades with the applique and hems in white, However, half the fun of making them is in working nut your own color preferences, so 1 will say no more than to point out that the designs are so attractive they might well be used on any •number of articles in the linen chest.

West Adelaide 'onto: We Want To Know "Do you suppose," she said, resting one hand against the cabin and turning to her uncle, "do you suppose we could have something to eat? It's been a long time—" "My Lord," field Uncle Jim. "For a minute I clean forgot you two had been lost. Say, there's a lot of tellin' to be done around hare." "There certainly is," said Nikki. "There are a lot of things Steve and I want to know." "Frons you and Fiske mostly," Steve told Uncle Jini. "That can wait a minute," said. Fiske. "I'll tell you the whole story, but first, suppose you tell me about Bancroft." "Suppose we let both stories wait until after we give Steve and 'Nikki something to eat," called Uncle Jim. "I'll sling a little chow together right quick. Steve, maybe you could open this can of beans. Our regular cook has a headache." Good Teamwork Woody wobbled over. "I can do it," he protested. Uncle Jim waved him back. "Let Nikki look at your head. She's the nurse around here." Nikki found an ugly cut, daubed it with iodine and swathed his head in bandages. "Wish I had something wrong with rhe," said her uncle. "You will have if you don't hurry with the food." "I'm a little hungry myself," he replied. "We bad quite a walk hunting for you all—while you were right back here in camp." Nikki and Steve ate ravenously and the others joined them, When they had finished Woody took a plate over and fed Sarto, who ate sullenly. "If he says baudylegs just once," said Uncle Jim, "Woody will probably jab that fork down his throat. That shore was a mis- take. He mighta got away if he hadn't made Woody so mad." "You two certainly use good teamwork," said Nikki, "You yell and Woody dives." "It's an old triek," her uncle confessed. "I knew what Woody was aimin' to do. All I had to do was yip." Fiske picked up the conversa- tion. . "Stipose," he said, "that we hear what happened to. Bancroft now. It's business with me, you !snow." Nikki and Steve told then of the landslide and ,of their ;getting?, lost and spending the night in the hills, of hearing the•shot the next Issue No 23 -- '39 O anorning, seeing Sarto, sod 0' ?finding Bancrof•t'e body.

Fiske examined the scene carefully, made many notes hi a small book and asked Steve sev- oral questions. He extracted the bullet which had killed Bancroft and then they buried the . New York racketeer in a grave in the ravine, and piled stones for a rude. marker. "He was genuinely concerned over you being lost," said Fiske "Not me," said Steve shortly. "Nikki." Fiske nodded. "That's what I meant. And that gave Sarto his chance to get hire away from the camp. They must have been head- ing for the other hill to see i£ they could sight you. When they passed this gully Bancroft decided to walk to the end of it. Sarto shot him in the back and that was the shot you heard." Back at camp Steve told Nikki briefly that they had buried ,Ban- croft. She turned to Fiske. "Was he Bancroft or Dillon?" "Wade Bancroft's real name, as you guessed," -he said, "was Chas. Dillon. And back of that is the story of this whole affair." Nikki broke in. "But what was my father's con- nection with Bancroft—or Dillon, rather?" Fiske lit a cigarette, "Dillon was your father's part- ner," he said.

Launched, Queen Elizabeth was said to have approved the plan when she left rho children in their grandmother's care. Under theplanthe princesses make unannounced trips on buses and trolleys to everyday London affairs such as flower shows and exhibitions. Explore Every -day life "The Royal children are explor- ing a new world—it is a' world of everyday life," said The London Daily Mail. "Their journey in Lon- don's underground last week was Lor them an experience as novel and exciting as an invitation to the palace would be to most chi!. dren. For once there were no fan - fared, no salutes, no bows and curt- sies when Princess Elizabeth and her sister walked out. ' "It is intended that they should see for themselves how people of the country live and bow they go about their daily lives—that they should learn at first hand some- thing of the human element in the machinery of the world's greatest human centre. The mind that is directing them is that of Queen Mary," Do not. blame the fruit or the method for "spoiled" fruit, if your "Jars 3ru� c- xr9 b: ..laeon...._,thoraughly cleaned. All jars when emptied s io,uld be washed and scrubbed with soap, with a brush kept es- pecially foe the purpose. Then rinsed with boiling water and where, possible dry in the sun. Heliotherapy is quite beneficial ap- plied to household ills, as well as the human body. Your jars are then ready for use requiring only a quick: rinse of boiling water be- fore filling. The preservation of . any food by canning depends on two things: first, the destroying by "heat, of any micro-organisms on the food or in the jars, that might cause the food to ferment or mold in any way; and second, prevent- ing other micro-organisms from getting into the jar. Don't use a soiled dish cloth to wipe off the top of the jar. It may undo all your work. Don't use old rubbers, and don't try to fit a narrow rubber on a screw top jar. The wide rubbers lit the spring top, and the narrow the screw top jar. Do use only the best fruits and vegetables for canning. Saturday night sales of cheap fruit are usually an expens- ive venture.

GT; ;;;;;111401DAY a When You Are Buying Cloth- ing That Will Fit, Judge By Measurements, Not By Age The U. S. Agriculture Depart- ment bureau of home economics has completed a two-year study of why mothers find it so difficult to buy clothing for their children that will fit them. Results of the survey, among 150,090 children by far the most comprehensive ever made, were made available to clothing mama by Miss Ruth O'Brien of the bureau. It may result in exten- sive changes in the manufacture of children's clothing, she said, Three Alternatives Miss O'Brien recommended that the old-style practice of makiug clothes on the basis of age be dis- •carded in favbr of` 'any of three groups of two measurements: I: -Height and weight; -height and and girth of hips, or (3) height girth of chest. "Analysis of the measurement figures show definitely that age is a poor indicator of size." Miss O'- Brien said, "Some children are 'small for their age.' "For instance," .she said, "one of our measurement size groups may be boys weighing from 81 to 91 pounds and 58 to 60 inches in height. We found boys ranging from 9 to 14 years falling into that group." Women Would Scare Dictators "1 don't know why people say women are the weaker sex," said "Viscountess Astor, M.P., when she addressed the women's section of the Rotary Conference at 'Bright- on, England, last week. "Eve, with only one .rib, was stronger than Adam, who was the first to shout that he had been tempted," she added. "If the dictators realized what women are they would be far more frightened of us than they are of the politicians" Sweet 'Terms (By SADIE B.

Parfait is sweetened fruit juices mixed with whipped cream and ice cream. Frappe is water ice frozen to aR mush and should be granular. Mousse is a heavy cream or cus- tard. Philadelphia Ice Crean!.
