Stiles wanted me to take the suit- case then and there -take it home and do the photographing, then have a meesenger deliver it to inergeson's `office; or, if I preferred to give it back to him, he'd arrange to get the money to its destination somehow without anybody being able to trace it. "But I was too frightened to de- cide and it -was not long before I felt , that We were being watched.

His private ear was standing down on the track and as scan as he saw that I was in trouble of some kind he took me down to the car and 1 told him the whole story. There was nobody around except ourselves at the moment and he was not only greatly' interested, but agreed to help me. We lifted out the envelope of meneer and he placed this in his safe aboard the ear. He would not tell me -what he intended to do with in; except that he promised it should be photographed for me and that it would" be taken care of. He told me to ask; no questions, but just leave every -1 thing to him and forget all about it.; The less I knew about it the better,' in case I was questioned. "He had asked me a short time be- fore if I thought I could obtain a place as a stenographer or office clerk of some kind in Feleguson's office for a few weeks and it had been. agreed that I would try and, if I succeeded, I was to sit tight and keep my eyes and ears open. I have wondered how' much of what happened he was hall anticipating; he was so matter-of- fact.

"You see new why I was -so worried to learn that an envelope had been stolen from Mr. Wade's private Car by Podmore and hidden up here at Thorialeson. I naturally juinped to the conclusion-- that it was the actnal money that had been stolen. afould have known better, becatuse Mr. Wade had asked me to have Stiles secure for him an envelope from the con- struction, company's .office, similar to the one Containing the money.

Making New Hats Out of Old. Nothing" makes us more discouraged with our wardrobe than to have a shabby" looking hat. Many hats, which are a bit dingy looking and slightly worn can bej4 a long time t.eae ansi remove ion. Nothing prolongs the lifetime of a hat more than good care. Hats should be brushed after each wearing, and if worn at irregular intervals; should he covered with tissue paper and kept in boxes away from dust, dampness,. and strong Tight. In traveling, they should be protected bk paper bags. For brush- ing velvet hats, use a fine bristle cloth brush or piece of velvet as a whisk broom leaves marks on the ;velvet. Always brush velvet in the direction of the nap. Wipe dust fram satin, taf- feta, or georgette hats with a clean cloth, and brush milansleghorns, and stiffer straws with a whisk broom. A velvet or silk hat wet by a shower should be hung over a stove or radi- ator to dry, care being taken to keep the hat in shape. If a velvet hat has become badly spotted from the rain, hold for a few minutes in the steam from the' spout of a teakettle, let drk and brush thoroughly. Remove stains from satin, taffeta and georgette while fresh, with, some suitable cleaning agent. Triffqpings which have become loosened by the wind or -wear should be tacked into place at once. Most of us own a velvet hat which has become shabby looking before the material is badly worn. It should first be therougtily brushed; 1.1, black or dark colored it can be cleaned by sponging with chloroform, ether; or benzine, the former two being pre- ferable, becanse they evaporate rapid- ly, POur a few drops or the cleaning fluid on a sponge and rub carefully over the velnet, going in the direction of the nap. As soon as the sponge becomes dry, pour on a few drops and proceed as before, This work should se • be done out of doors or in a room which is well ventilated, as the fumes produced by rapid evaporation of any of these cleaning conipounds are over- powering. Care should be taken na- te:volt-fir:ad' a -stove, or rialffe on ac- count of the high inflammability of cleaning- fluide. - When the hatvis thoroughly dry, it , should be steamed by inoving it back and forth in the steam from thaspout of a teakettle. Steam used for reno- vating purposes is what is known as dry steam, that is, there is consider- able heat, 'and very little moisture.' Black or dark colored beaver hats may be cleaned by the same methods used for cleaning' velvet ones. White or light colored, plush or beaver may be cleaned with a mixture of gasoline or cornstarch. !IVIix two tablespoons of cornstarch with one pint of gaso- line in a bowl, at bewl in a pan of warm water, as waTrrn gasoline cleans more readily- than cold. Rub beaver -with mixture, and When dry, brush out the flour. To raise the nap on plush or beaver, "steam' quickly with dry steam, and beat` with a small stick; beaver has a certain amount of glue ,or sizing which causes the nap to mat when wet; therefore this process is used to loosen the nap and cause it to stand erect. Felt hats, which are practical' for all seasons, may lie cleaned in a number of ways, Art gum removes spots which are not of long standing: To clean stiff belt hat which are badly soiled, rub with a small block of wood wrapped with sandpaper, beginning at the centre of the top of the crown, and moving always in the same direction. When the hat has been cleaned, stretch a piece of old veLvet over the block, rub with a hot flat iron, and then aver a cake of paraffin wax, The wax will Melt and adhere to the pile of the velvet.
