THE 15 El?: OMAHA. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. lSKil. Id ft I I J V Holding a Husband AVI CarrUaa's New Pka.a of What Crica Draper Told Madf and What Madge Queued. Over tny baby's pitiful little play. Miff. cU.ped close to my lips, I aiared mildly at Mrs. Titer, trying dumbly to comprehend what she was laying to me. Then, at the terrible import of her words struck me, I viiught her arm fiercely. "You found this in the liaudi of - vfie ' baby of the man across the road? I shrilled. "Then he must have carried olf Junior. Oh-h!" I could not repren the shriek which tore through the house and brought a swift ttaccato of feminine fret down the stairs. The next sec ond Kdith Fairfax and Grace Draper burst into the sitting room, with consternation written on their tense, iinxious face. "What is it?" they exclaimed sim ultaneously. I gestured feebly to .Mrs. Ticer. "Tell them.". I choked, then strangely out of . my subconscious H.lf came the admonition to watch , Grace Draper's face, and for a fleet ing instant, as Mrs. Ticer repeated I'cr 'statement, 1 fancied 1 saw a look of panic leap into her eyes. Hut the next instant she had spoken calmly, with a note of actual derision in her voice. , "What nonsense! Junior lost that two days before he strayed away. 1 remember, because he was asking for it He had walked down this road with his father. No doubt the other child found it, and, of course, picked it up." . "You " I began, and if iny voice could have expressed my emotion he would have dropped dead at its sound. The conviction had swept over me that at last I was on the track of Junior's fate, and that the girl before me was involved in it, l or only too distinctly I remember ed that when my little lad, after bringing me his drawing, had started back to the corncrib studio for his "Danzie'a picter," there had peeped, as always, above the pocket of his i : . . I - . . t- - 1 ... r iiiuc rumpcr, mc laminar outlines Ot his beloved celluloid "bumble fish." "You Are Sure?" "XTo matter what developments, stick outwardly to your theory that me child wandered away and lost." As clearly as if Hugh Grantland had spoken the words close- by, this fragment of the note he had sent me sounded in my ears. I saw clearly that a premature explosion of the aw- tul wrath which was consuming me might spoil all his plans for finding out the truth, so I nerved myself to play the part of Tinsuspecting ac quiescence in the accepted theory of Junior's disappearance until. Hugh urantiand gave me permission to do otherwise. "You you are sure?" I stammer ed, as if pleading for her assurance., "Of course." she returned. "But Madge, you're fearfully -upset. Don't you think you ft better lie down? ' ."Just come right in my room, Mis' Graham" Mrs: Ticer promptly inter posed, "and I'll make- you a cup of . tea. i .1 followed her passively, furtively watching Grace Draper - and. Edith Tairfax as I did so. '.There was a. ftfothole lit the door! I Shut behind tne.'. and , ' I . unblushingly looked through it, as soon as I closed the door. - I ', ,. I saw- Edith Fairfax shrug her shoulders, touch her forehead signi ficantly, and heard her say contempt uously: . , ' 4 ;"Don't mind her, Gracie. Come back upstairs and lie down, and I'll rub your head.' Her screeching like that hasn't done it, any good, you know." ! ; The utter heatrlessness of her words as applied to me brought no resentment to my mind, only a wild, fantastic surmise. Could it be pos sible that' Edith Fairfax was also in volved in this horrible tangle of which I was beninninar to clutch only the most slender thread? Mrs. Ticer stopped all speculation ' by seizing my wrist and drawing me forward. I "Those girls know something, Mis' Graham," she whispered. "At least, the Draper one does. I can t tell you how I know, but I just do, someway. Oh, I'd like to tear her eyes out! But I haven t time even to talk about it now. Don't you see that we've got to get this man across the road put away now, before he runs off?? He isn't home just now, but when I snatched that little celluloid mud turtle from that baby, an older child United at me so frightened, and the ran to its mother. And she's hitching up the horse this minute so as to get -word to him to run, I'll bet a cookie. Don't you see, if he's arrested, ma be he'll talk." - V - -Please Wait Here." "He won't get away," I said grim ly, galvanized into action. "But 1 please remember not even to hint to a living 'being that we want to ar rest him until I give you permission. And pretend to those women in there that you believe Miss Draper's asser tion about the toy." ; "Leave it to me." she replied fer svently and I dashed out of doors and - jumped into my car beside Tom Chester who had waited there ;turned the car into the road, and out -of sight of Grace Draper's upper windows before I . spoke. - -Then rapidly I narrated Mrs. Tic er's discovery and Grace Draper's falsehood. ' He got out of the car as I finished speaking. --' - - - ' . , "Please wait here," he said. "And if the woman comes past pretend to be fixing your car, and pay no at tention to her. I'll be back in a few minute;. And let me tell you. I think v at last we're 01. the righ; trail." One Officer Is Guarding ; Two Wounded Prisoners .'

That lowly plant, the eyebright, which learned people call the euphraiia, was formerly very popu lar In this country at a cure foi weak eyes, styes, etc., and in the rural districts it will be found Hill to occupy a place of connideration in folk-medicine. In Europe It i a popular remedy for alt dincatsi oi the eye, even as it it here, Its reputation is an inheritance from past ages and originated in the "doctrine of signatures" that form of primitive, x sympathetic magit which, at man advanced in civil ization, became a medical theory the theory that every plant had a "signature' which indicated for what medical purpose it was intend ed to be used. The eyebright hat in its corolla a black, pupil like spot suggesting the pupil of the eye. Therefore it is good for diseases of the rye. In olden timet the eyebright was tup posed not only to be "good for scr eyes" but to confer, also, upon both the mental and the physical eye greatly increased powert of percep tion. Milton represents the eyes of Adam as being "purged with euphrasy" for he had much to sec,' and Spencer speakt of the plant at giving dim eyet power to "wandci leagues around," while Thompson asks Urania to purge away with eye bright "the mists which dim the mirror of the mind."

Like many other penal institutions throughout America and Europe, the (anions prisun (if Sing Sing o-vr it name, through a peculiar nmdiiica. Hon, to the name of the town in wlirh it is situated. The original iiiine of this tnvrn was "Ossining, a title of Indian derivation which the white settlers appropriated and cor rupted into "Sing Sing," which even tually became the official name oi the town itself. When the prison wat erected it, too, was christened Sing Sing, but, as the grim structure becamt more and more widely known, the inhab itants of the town, which wa by no meant to famous, did not relish tin odious association. Some yeas ago, thircfoK. it wa decreed that the name be changed back to the original Jm'ian spelling of "Ossiniiu;," by which it is known today, but the pris on iicU still bear the corrupted pronunciation oi the early settlers Sing Sing. luinhl. I:i. WknlM Riaditsls, Inf. Parents' Problems How can a girl of 14 who 'it in clined to be distrustful of the m terity of person about her best be hclptd to have more faith in human nature? A suspicious girl is probably self conscious and introspective; pi-rhain through being over-concirutiously watched, or talked about, or "nag ged." If so, nothing could be more wholesome than for her to be let alone, in the companionship of younger, simpler children, or of tome artless grown-up who would supply her with an objective interest or an absorbing hobby, rorgetting her self, she should forget to be suspicious.
