PICKING 17P THE PLAYTHINGS.
Picking up the playthings at the end
of day
Is a time for dreaming and a time to
pray.
Quietly in slumber, lying snug and
sweet,
Busy little hands and busy little feet.
Rooms are still from laughter, child-
ish worries gone—
Little troubles they'll forget with the
smile of dawn.
In the utter silence, glad our hearts
must be
Silent rooms shall sound again with
the morning glee.
Life is not alrplaytime, soon the years
will bring
Days of joy and sorrow, toil and
laboring.
Now with love and laughter do the
years go by,
Happiness and joyousness hover ever
nigh.
May their little hearts so fill with the
love of home,
Memories shall never fade though
afar they roam!
Picking up the playthings at the end
of day
Is a time for dreaming and a time
to pray.
—A. W. Peach.
BREAKING IN BABY.
"What pretty manners your baby
has!" said Mrs. Brown, looking admir-
ingly at the tiny Jones girl, who was
daintily eating a piece of bread-and-
butter. "I could not possibly have
my Barbara down to meals with me.
She makes such an awful mess with
her food, and is so restless."
Now, very many children are like
Barbara. They are simply impossible
at meals with grown-ups. But it is
not really difficult to train a child to
eat nicely, and to behave properly at
meals.
First of all, the child should be
taught to give all its attention, just
for the time being, to what it is eat-
ing. All atempts to play at meal-
times should be resisted. Sometimes
a mother will give a baby a spoon or
a toy to play with, so as to persuade
it to eat. This is very wrong, as baby
Is quick to understand, and soon will
not eat at all unless some other enter-
tainment is offered at the same time.
Later, this leads to children being
restless and unable to sit quietly at
meals, and to their trying to play
about with knives, forks, glasses, etc.
As soon as possible, a baby should
begin to feed himself and to drink
.by himself. Quite quickly his little
fingers will adapt themselves to hold,
first, bread-and-butter and plain bis-
cuite, and then fork, spoon, and cup.
But to make this process easy for
him—and pleasant for other people—
he must not.be given at the start food
that is messy or difficult to manage.
If baby is to learn that a dirty face
and dirty hands are not the right
thing at meals, he must not have food
put into his hands that, through no
fault of his, brings about this result.
If only "Manners rnakyth Baby"
could be regarded as being as import-
ant a maxim as "Manners miticyth
Man," parents would save thexnselves

or to air spaces left between the food
materials when the jar is packed.
The first difficulty can be met by
packing firm, but not tight, to within
a half-inch of the top of the jar, and
by leaving this half-inch of space for
expansion during cooking.
Strict adherence to a canning table,
giving cooking time for different
fruits and vegetables, will settle the
second trouble. To avoid the third dif-
ficulty, exclude the air by inserting a
spatula or thin bladed knife in the
jar before putting on the lid.
"Flat sour," another common
trouble, also arises from over -packing,
but is mainly due to allowing food to
stand in a semi -heated condition at
any time during the canning process.
When the fruits float, the jar may
have been over -packed, or over -cooked,
but it is generally a sign that too
much sugar has been used.

"And then killed him. Does that
look reasonable to you?"
"We don't know the circumstances.
Say, to make a long shot, that the
Jap had been hired to kill my uncle
by this other man, and say he was ,
beginnin' to get ugly an' make threats.'
Or say Horskawa knew about the
of my uncle an' was hired by
the other man to keep away. Then
he learns from the papers that he's
suspected, an' he gets anxious to go
to the police with what he knows.
Wouldn't there be reason enough then
to kill him? The other man would
have to do it to save himself."
"I reckon." Cole harked back to a
preceding suggestion. "The revenge
theory won't hold water. If some
friend of yore uncle knew the Jan had
killed him he'd sick the law on him.
He wouldn't pull off any private exe-
cution like this."
Kirby accepted this. "That's true.
There's another possibility. We've
been forgettin' the two thousand dol-
lars my uncle drew from the bank the
day he was killed. If Horikawa an'
some one else are guilty of the murder
an' the theft, they might. have quar-
reled later over the money. Perhaps
thc accomplice saw a chance to get
away with the whole of it by gettin'
rid of Horikawa."
"Mebbeso. By what you tell me yore
uncle was a big, two-fisted scrapper.
It was a two-man job to handle him.
This li'l' Jap never in the world did it
alone. What it gets back to is that
he was prob'ly in on it an' later for
some reason his pardner gunned him?'
"Well, we'd better telephone for the
police an' let them do some of the
worryin'."
Kirby stepped into the living-rooxn,
followed by his friend. He was about
to reach for the receiver when an ex-
clamation stopped him. Sanbern was
standing before a small writing -desk,
of which he had just let down the top.
He had lifted idly a piece of blotting -
paper and was gazing down at a sheet
of paper with writing on it.
"Looky here, Kirby," he called.
In three strides Lane was beside
him. His eyes, too, fastened on the
sheet and found there the pot-hooke
we have learned to associate with
Chinese and Japanese chirography.
"Shows he'd been makin' himself at
home," the champion rough rider said.
Lane picked up the paper. There
were two or three sheets of the writ-
ing. "Might be a letter to his folks
—or it might be—" His sentenee
flickered out. He was thinking. "I
reckon I'll take this along with me an'
have it translated Cole."
He put the sheets in his pocket
after he had folded them. "You never
can tell. I might as well know what

to the City Hall for the police.

SAVING THE PENNIES,
Here are some of the ways I use
"cast_offs» or save a. few pennies. How
many use inner tubes where elastic is
needed in children's garments? Thep
bands also make goodfasteners to
hold the strainer cloth on the separ-
ator tank. I sew a small piece to a
fly -swat handle and save buying a
new one.
When the wire .separator brush is
worn at the end, I bend it back and
it 'lasts still longer.
The glue paper tape I had left from
making a dress -form is handier than
string, when wrapping parcels, and
also use it for labeling fruit jars.
I want to tell you all about a piece
of furnitUre I made myself. I have a
hit of tools of my own which I know
how to use.
I bought a cheese box for ten cents
from the grocer, and ten feet of one
inch by one inch pine for ten cents.
I used the cover for upper part of my
sewing stand, open side up, and nailed
the four two and one-half foot lengths
to it. The bottom part was placed
the right height from the floor and
fastened in place. A ten cent can of
dark oak stain made an agreeable
finish. After I had fastened in place
several nauslin poekets, I had a work
basket like I had been wanting for
years, for the cost of foi ty cents.

The Wyoming men walked acrosS
to Seventeenth Street and down it to
the Equitable Buildi*. James Cune
ningharn was in his office.
He looked up as they entered, a
cold smile on his lips.
"Ah, my energetic cousin," he said,
with his habitual touch of irony.
"What's in the wind now-?"
Kirby told hirn. Instantly James
became grave. His irony vanished.
In his face was a flicker almost of
consternation at this follow-up mur-
der. He might have been asking hire -

CHAPTER XXI.
TAMES LOSES MS TEMPER.
Cole grinned whimsically at his
friend.
"Do we light out now or evait for
the cops?" he asked.
"We wait. They'd probably find
out, anyhow, that we'd been here."
Five rninute,s later a patrol wagon
clanged up to the Paradox. A sergeant
of police and two plainclothes men took
the elevator, The sergeant, heading
the party, stopped in the doorway of
the apartment and let a hard, hostile
eye travel up and down Lane's six
feet.
"Oh, it's you," he said suspiciously.'
Kirby smiled. "That's right, offi-
cer. We've met before, haven't we?"
They had. The sergeant was the
man who had arrested him at the cor-
oner's inquest. It had annoyed him
that the authorities had later released
the prisoner on bond.
"Have you touched the body or
moved anything since you came?" the
sergeant demanded.
"No, sir, to both questions, except
the telephone when I used it to reach
headquarters."
The officer made no answer. He and
the detectives went into the bedroom,
examined the dead valet's position and
clothes, made a tour of the rooms, and
came back to Lane.
"Who's your friend?" asked the ser-
geant superciliously.
"His name is Cole Sanborn."
"The champion bronco buster?"
"Yes."
The sergeant looked at Sanborn
with increased respect. Hie eyes went
back to Kirby sullenly.
"What you doing here?"
"We were in my uncle's apartment
lookin' things over. We stepped out
on the fire escape an' happened to
notice this window here was open a
little. It just came over me that mete;
be we might discover some evidence
here. So I got in by the window, saw
the body of the Jap, an' called my
friend."
"Some one hire you to hunt up' evi-
dence?" the officer wanted to know
with heavy sareasm. -
"I hired myself. 'My good name is
involved. Pm gain' to see the murder-
er is brought to justice.
"You are, eh?"
eyese,
"Well, I'll say you could find him
if anybody could."
"You're entitled to your opinion,
sergeant, just as 1 am to mine, but
before we're through with this ease
you'll have to admit you've been
wrong." Lane turned to his friend.
"We'll go now, Cole, if you're ready."
The sergeant glared at this cool cus-
tomer who refused to be appalled at
the positicin in which he stood. He had
half _a mind to arrest the man again
on the spot, but. he was not sure
enough of his ground. Not very long
since he had missed a promotion by
being overzealous. He did not want
to make the same mistake twice,

paraffin and placed inside the case it
