The Seaforth News, 1928-08-16, Page 6TEA 866 Never before has such care been used in preparing teas for the public. Never before has such a blend of high quality teas been made, as in "SALADA". This flavour, this unfailing deliciousness is bring) ling pleasure to millions. A Smart Now Coat The coat pictured here is an un- usually smart design as well as being practical and comfortable. There is a seam at the center back, a large convertible collar, wide cuffs, and two set-in pockets with laps.

Roadside Thieves New York Herald -Tribune: It is estimated that the farmers of New York State lose more than a million dollars a year through the raiding of Vegetables, fruit and poultry by motor- ists. Vigilance committees are now bent on making town dwellers respect • property rights in the country as they are obliged to do In the city. Coun- try jails are not overcrowded. They can accommodate a fair quota of per - eons who have free and easy ideas about rural possessions lying loose. All decent motorists will wish the farmers success in stopping a pest that puts the whole body of urban residents in disrepute on account of the meanness of a comparative few. (Ontario farmers may well follow suit.)

The spots are to bo combiiled in all-over designs and also to .assume diverse forme in the way of wheels, cords, dots and blots. From a Manchester house comes a. print of a small figure in pastel color- ing on a white broeho ground. An- other is a geometric design of zigzag stripes of yellow and two shades of blue combined with squares of red. and• black. In voile, Ferguson Brothers of Car- Iisle show a Pattern that decreases in size from one selvage to the other and is completed at one side with a three-inch border. The heavier materials presented for next winter bld fair to be extremely popular. From Lyons come now vel- vets in geometrical designs, in a va- riety of stripes, in florets, in plain patterns with woven small chevrons in double and two tones, New Effects in Transparent Velvet If transparent velvet gained such marked popularity last winter, it seems as though pig new ones pre- sented byLyone should be even mote so this year. For one thing, the vogue for using velvets for negligees, sports jackets and coats, and evening wraps, has been set and people no longer thiuk of velvet for frocks alone. Then, too, there is a greater variety in these faconno velvets in regard to the weaves and the design. One pattern, for example, 1s floral,. with daisies in white rayon on a red chiffon ground finely striped with gold. Morals, by the way, are more popular than the geometrical designs. This is probably due to the fact that the e, ftness of a flower design is bet- ter suited to the delicate material; or it may possibly be because of the perfected process of printing the vel- vet on the back. Thus rose designs appear in new effects of subdued shades. Woolens Hold Their Own Some materials like transparent velvet and artificial silk combinations are long in coming into favor, butonce they have filled a need in a woman's wardrobe, she clings to them with a resolute fidelity despite the efforts of fashion stylists and dressmakers to the contrary. For example, the in- evitable felt hat remains a favorite in the United States. Woolens, it seems, have become an integral part of a woman's wardrobe. Wherever women gather, at races and sports, the out-of-door costumes are of plain woolens and include broadcloth, tweeds and basket weavers. The woolens favored for daytime sports costumes are vervety or very, very soft. The extremely soft grades are made of angora, a revival of a fabric in use two seasons ago. The majority of the woolens are loosely woven with open squares, although some are closely woven in a canvas effect and others seem to form a small fancy sort of armure. The colors of these woolens are dull neutral shades of brown 'Mega and bine,:although they are presented in pastel coloring for summer wear. Illustrations of velvety .woolens show them with ground woven in a small crow's foot scarcely discernible because of the pile surface; in an bing- liah mixture crossbanded in honey- comb effect; and in an amiire in a mosaic of pastel shades. Next in importance are tweeds, Some dressmakers, Worth, for exam- ple, place them as the very basis of their sports clothes. Tweeds are loosely woven in black and white mix- turesii or, like men's mixtures, pre- sent a kind of design 1n the weave. A striped tweed in brown and biege has a border of darker tones. Chev- rons and herringbone are in evidence and one design offered by a leading manufacturer shows an English mix- ture woven with a modern design. There is no end to the variety of patterns and designs in both tweeds and woolens, it seems, In some in- etances woolens become like pattern- ed silks and have designs of bine or red dots on a binge ground, or have a novel appearance because the de - Wises are Woven solider in ccsetY woven woolen, somewhat /lire a wool- en blanket, and present almost the ap- pearance of a printed motif.

Minard'o Liniment for Blistered Peet, BEGIN HERD TODAY,. ,Tnhn Ainsley a man of education and breeding, becomes a maeter crook .•--preying upon other thieves. In ar- ranging Meth a "fence" to dispose of 4. box of jewels which he stole from the White Eagle, a crook, Ainsley was overheard by Swede Thomassen, a brutal murderer in hiding. Thomassen comes to Ainsley's apartment, covers him with a revolver, and domande half of the loot. He ord., els Ainsley to go and get the jewels from the safe-deposit box downtown. Then he drops down on a bed in Ains- ley's apartment and .goes to sleep, con- fident that Ainsleywill not cross him. Ainsley is fearful of exposing hire to the police because then lie himself would become involved in the answer- ing of many unpleasant questions. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY, With a groan I dismissed my plan. I could not give up my liberty. The shame of exposure Was ;more than I could endure. Yet to permit Thomas - sen to escape, to aid him in his escape, was to endure a private shame as hideous as any public exposure. I was caught between the devil and the deep sea. And then inspiration came to me, as it just comes to anyone caught be- tween the devil and the deep sea, un- less he would perish. My guest would not awaken. So I went to my own chamber—he was in the room next the living -room --and' from my bed I took a sheet. Of it, and two pillows and several books to give the thing weight, I made a clumsy effi- gy of a man. I wrapped a dark over- coat around the figure, buttoned it, tied string about it to keep -it in place, and went quietly to the window. I raised it and looked out. The window opened on a vacant area in the rear of the building. Below its sill, a good four feet below it, was a ledge perhaps two feet wide. I lift- ed my effigy through the window, low- ered it and placed it carefully upon the ledge. It was quite heavy; I had placed several books inside it. It would not balance truly upon the ledge, bit fastening it with a string to the handle on the inside of the win- dow whereby it was raised, the bundle or effigy would stay in place. And when I closed the window the dark twine was not noticeable inside the room. I drew the curtain to make sure that the twine would not be ob- served by Thomassen. Of course dwellers in the distant buildings 'might see my bundle when light carne in the morning. But New Yorkers are incurious about their neighbors. Strange things can occur without arousing questions. And any- way, this was a chaneo I had to take. And having taken it, I went to bed. 0 s e ■ Thomassen awakened me in the morning. He was ravenously hungry, and I was forced to prepare him a breakfast. I marveled at•his nerve as he ate. I ani fairly composed myself, but I only ate in order that his sus- picions might not be aroused. For I must seem to him reconciled to his presence and his purpose. The man was like a wild beast. If he became seepicious he would kill. But he thought that he understood me. I was philosophic enough to make the best of a bad situation, he reason- ed. He let me leave the apartment, to fetch the jewels from the safe-deposit box, with hardly a reminding threat to force me not to play him false. Cautioning him to keep away from the windows, and to answer no rings at the doorbell or telephone, I left him, "You're more scared than I am," were his last words to me. "And I'm facing the chair, while you've got no- thing to be afraid of but Sing Sing." d * * M * I confess that I shuddered as he mentioned the name of the grim psi - son up the Hudson. I feared death less than I did capture by the police. In- deed I was going to prove the truth of what I have just said. For I was going to risk death. I had procured a week before, the number of the telephone installed in the furnished house which, under the imposing alias of the ,Due de Mon- teelier, the White Eagle ha'h rented early in the winter. Trembling with excitement, from a telephone -booth in a drugstore on Amsterdam Avenue, '1 called up this number. The chances were a hundred to one that the White Eagle no longer resid- ed here. His servants had been let go, and his bags had been packed, in pre- paration for hurried flight .on the night that ho had robbed Anderson. But the fact that I had relieved him of his booty might have changed his plans. The White Eagle was daring, He knew that it was unlikely that An- derson suspected his lose. And when the miiloineire sailed for South Am- erica, it was obvious that the theft had not been discovered, There was no reason, then, why Armand Cachet should not continue living in the house, Off the Avenue. A less bold thief would be certain to flee, but the White Eagle was one in a million, I payed that he would answer the telephone, Ile did so. 8 recognized the inert - acing tones, And I Wasted no time in preliiniperiee. "Coehet, this le a friend, The other nig'h`t you were robbed." nicks ckei 0.994,t NEA 3eivice inc. A lesser man would have given way to. excitement, but the White Eagle's. nerves were of steel. I could hear a faint gasp, swiftly suppressed, but that was all. • "I am all enemy of the man who robbed' you," I declared. It was the truth; every man is his own }worst enemy. ."I know where he is to be to- night. Ile and his partner will be dividing the Anderson jewels at nine o'clocir. They will be in a bedroom in an'apartment on Central Park West." His iron will could repress his ex- citement no longer, "The address l The man's name?" he cried. I laughed softly. "Patience, my friend. Suppose I gave you that ad- dress now? Could you restrain your desire for revenge until tonight? ` Al- though I am proving my friendship by this information, you would not trust me, Nor -my friend, you will" receive the information at eight- thirty. A°meseenger will come to you, bearing an envelope which will con- tain the information youwilsh, and a' key to the apartment, in order that you may enter quietly." "A trapl" said Coehet. I laughed more loudly. "To what end? If I spoke for' the police --but I could read, the murderer's brain. that is absurd. If the police knew of You they would be at you youe door." "Who are you?" he demanded. But I.hong up without answering. I thought I knew my man. Revenge and greed would cause him to come to my apartment. So I went to a mes- senger;, office. Then I wrote a note to: the Due de Montariier. I described my apartment, and told him the exact situation of my bedroom. I put an extra :key to the apartment in the envelope as I had promised, and gave it to the manager of the office with strict instructions not to deliver it until eight -thirty. ills satisfaction with the generous tip I gave him con- vinced me that he would obey my in- structions implicitly.. If he didn't— well that was a clianee I must take. Then I went to the safe-deposit vault and removed, the brown paper parcel which contained the casket of jewels that had belonged to Marcus. Anderson. I returned to my apart- ment—and then began the hardest part of my task. This was to keep Thomassen in my rooms until after dark. For the plan which I had conceived needed dark- ness in its execution. Naturally, ' my unwelcome guest was in a fever of impatience to de- part, once he had glimpsed the An- derson treasures. But 8 played upon his fears. The police,,I told him, were scouring the city. Every station, every ferry, every road and bridge were guarded. He would have no chance whatsoever of passim the cordon in daylight. Indeed for him to appear upon any street, however secluded, was dangerous, I convinced; him, at length. It was the most trying day of my life. I could read the thoughts in the murderer's brain. We had divided the jewels and he had been a shade too equitable in the division. I knew that he was thinking, all the time, that he might as well have then all. I only hoped that he would delay translating thought into deed until the White Eagle should arrive. (To be continued.)
