CHAPTER XIV. (Continued.)
It wbb a transparent plot on Holla's
part: Two elderly lndloa, house mllee
from nnywhoro, long avcnlngs in the
music room with an open flro nnd
Holla at tho hurp plnylng tho two
songa alio knows.
Whon wo woro rendy nnd gathered
In tho kitchen, In tho darkness, of
course, Dal wont up n tho roof nnd
iitgnnlod with a lnntorn to tho cars
on tho drive, Then ho wont down
Htnlru, took a Inst look nt tho drawing-room,
flrod tho papers, Bhook tho
powder, oponod tho wlndowa nnd
yollcd "flrot"
Of courso, huddled In tho kitchen,
wo had heard little or nothing, llut
wo plainly hoard Dal on tho first floor
and Flannlgnu on tho second yelling
'flro," and tho pattor of foot bb tho
guards ran to tho front of tho house,
And at that Instant wo romomborod
Aunt Sollhal
That was tho cause of tho wholo
trouble I don't know why thoy turned
on me; she wasn't my nunt. But by
the time they had Rot hor out of bed,
and had wrapped hor In nu eiderdown
comfort, and stuck slippers on her
foot and a motor veil on her head, tho
glare at tho front of tho house was
beginning to die away. She didn't un
derstand at all, and we, had no time to
xplaln. I remember that Bhe wanted to
go back and get her "plate," whatever
that may be, but Jim took her by the
arm and hurried her along, and the
l'Nt. who had waited, and were In
awful tempera, stood aside and let
.them out first.
The door to thn area Btepa was
open, and by the street lights wo
could see a fence and a gate, which
opened on a sldo street. Jim and
Aunt Bellua ran straight for tho gate;
the wind blowing Aunt Selinn's com
fort like a nail, Then", with our foot,
so to speak, on tho first rung of the
ladder of liberty, It slipped" A half
dozen guards and roportora camo
arouud the house and drovo us back
like shoop Into a slaughter pen. It
was the most humiliating moment of
my ll(o.
Dal had been for lighting u way
through, nnd Just for a minute I
think I wont llorsork myself. nut
Max Bpled ono of tho roportora setting
up a flash-light as wo stood, unde
cided, at tho top of tho ctopB, and
after that there waa nothing to do but
rutreat. Wo backed plowly, to show
them we wore not afraid. And when
we were all in the kitchen again, and
had turned on the lights aud Delia
was crying with her head against Mr,
Harbison's arm, Dal said, cheerfully;
"Well, it has dono somo good, any
how. We have lost Aunt Hollna."
And we all shook hands on It, al
though we were sorry about Jim, And
Dal mid wo would havo some cham
pagne and drink to Aunt Sollna'n com
fort, and we could have hor teeth
fumigated and send them to hor.
Somebody said "Poor old Jim," and at
that Delia looked up.
She stared around tha group, and
then she west quite pale.
"Jim!" sho gasped. "Do you mean
that Jim is out thore, too?"
"Jim and Aunt Sollnat" I said ns
calmly ns I could for Joy. You soo
how it simplified tho sltuntlon for mo.
"By this time thoy aro n mile away,
and going!"
Everybody shook hands again ex
cept Holla. She had dropped Into n
chair, and sat biting her Hp and
breathing hard, and sho would not
Join in any of tho hilarity at gottlng
rid of Aunt Scllna. Finally sho got
up and knocked over hor chair,
"You aro a lot of cowards," oho
stormed. "You dosorted thom out
thoro, loft thom. Hoavon knows
whoro they are a dcfensolosn old
woman, and and a man who did not
oven have an overcoat. And It Is
snowing!"
"Nover mind," Dal Bald, reassuring
ly. "He can borrow Aunt Sollna's
comfort. Mako tho old lady discard
from weakness. Anyhow, Bolla, If I
know anything of human naturo, tho
old lady will make it hot enough for
him. Poor old JImJ"
Then they shook hands again, nnd
with that there camo a torrlblo bang
ing at tho door, which we nnd locked,
"Open tho door!" somo ono com
manded. It wob ono of tho guards.
"Opon It .yourself!" DnllaM called,
moving a kitchen tablo to ro-enforco
tho lock.
"Opon that door or wo will break It
in!"
Dallas put his hands In his pockets,
seated hlmsolf oh tho table, and
whisked cheerfully. Wo could hoar
thom conferring outside, nnd thoy
made another appeal, which was re
fused. Suddenly Bella camo over and
confronted Dallas.
"They havo brought thom back!"
sho sold dramatically. "Thoy aro ou.
thoro now; I distinctly heard Jim's
voice. Opon that door, Dallas I"
"Oh, don't lot thom In!" I wnllod.
It wa3 qulto involuntary, but tho dis
appointment was too awful. "Dallas,
don't open thnt door!"
Dal swung his foot and Binllcd from
Bella to mo.
"Think what n solution It Is to all
our difllcultlCB," ho Bttld, easily.
"Without Aunt Sollna I could bo happy
horo indefinitely."
Thoro Was moro knocking, and
somebody Max. I think snld to lot
thom In, that It was a fool thing any-
how. nnd that ho wantod to go to
bod and forgot it: his feet wore cold
And Just then thoro wnH u crash, and
"Certainly
You Will Not
Pictures."
Move the
half-way up from the kitchen, for aa
hour, with tho dinner on it .Anyhow,
Max was searching the house ays to-
raatlcally, armed with a copy of Poo's
"Purloined Letter" nnd Oaborlau's
Monsieur Lccoq ." He wont through
tho seats of tho chalrH with hatpins, I
tore up tho beds, and lifted rugs, until
the houso waa In a stato of confusion.
And the next day, tho fourth, he
found something not much, but It
wns curious. He had been In the
studio, poking around behind tho dusty
pictures, with Jimmy expostulating
evory tlmo ho moved anything and
tho rest standing around watching
him.
Max was strutting.
"We get It by eliminations," he
said, Importantly. "Tho pearls be
ing nowhore else in tho houso, they
must bo hero In tho studio. Three
parts of tho studio having yielded
nothing, thoy must bo in the fourth.
Indies nnd gcntlomen, let mo have
your attention for ono moment. I tap
this canvas with my wnnd thoro Is
nothing up my slcovo. Then I pre
pare to move tho canvas so. And I
put my hand In the pocket of this die
roputabta velvet coat, bo. Behold!"
Thon ho gave a low exclamation and
looked at something ho held in hla
hand. Every ono stopped forward,
and on his palm was the small diamond
claap from Anno's collar!
Jimmy wan apologetic. Ho tried to
fltnllo. but no ono else did.
"Well, I'll bo flabbergasted!" ho
said, "I say, you people, you don't
think for a minute that I put that
thing thoro? Why, I hnvon't worn
that cont for n month. It's It's a
trick of yours, Max."
But Max shook his hend; ho lookod
atupoflod, and stood gazing from tha
clasp to tho pocket of tho old painting
coat. Betty dropped on a folding
ntool, that promptly collapsed with
hor and created a welcome divorsion,
whllo Anno pounced on tho clasp
greedily, with a llttlo cry.
"Wo will find it all now," sho said.
excitedly. "Did you look In tho othe
pockots, Max7"
Then, for the first time, I was con
scious of an air of constraint among
tho men. Dallas wbb whistling softly,
and Mr. Harbison, having rcscuod
Betty, was standing silent and aloof,
watching tho ncano with non-committal
oyes. It was Max who spoko first,
after a hurried inventory of tho othor
pockets.
"Nothing elso," ho said, constrained
ly. "I'll movo tho rost of tho can
vasos." But Jim lntorfored, to every ono'a
surprlso.
"I wouldn't if I woro you, Max.
Thero's nothing back there. I had
'em out yestorday." Ho waa qulto
palo.
"NonsonBo!" Max said gruffly. "If
It's n practical Joke, Jim, why don't
you "fess up? Anno has worried
enough."
"Tho pearla aro not thoro, I toll
you," Jim began. Although the studio
wns cold, thoro woro llttlo fine beads
of moisture on his face. "I must ask
you not to movo thoso pictures." And
thon Aunt Sollna cumo to tho rcscuo;
Hhq stalked ovor and stood with her
back against tho stack of canvnssos.
"Ab far as I understand this," sho
declaimed, "You gentlomon nro trying
to intimnto that James knows somo
thing of that young woman'B Jowelry,
bocauso you found a part of It in hla
pockot. Certainly you will not movo
tho pictures. How do you know that
tho young gentleman who said ho
found It thoro didn't havo it up hla
Bloove?"
Sho looked around triumphantly,
nnd Mnx glowered. Dallas soothed
hor, however.
"Exnctly so," ho said. "How do wo
know thnt Max didn't have tho clasp
up his sloevo? My doar lady, neither
my wife nor I enro anything for the
pearls, as compared with tho priceless
pearl of poaco. I Buggest tea on tho

WHAT TO HAVE FOR LUNCHEON.
When tho noon meal Is a light one,
and tho heavier meal taken at night,
ono does not ca.ro for a meal especial
ly nutritive; something dainty and at
tractive in its appearanco is generally
pleasing.
A cream soup, a salad, a sandwich
and a cako with fresh or preserved
fruit makes a meal sufficiently satis
fying. For drinks, tea, cocoa, chocolato or
any of tho fruit Juices may bo used.
A potato soup Is simple and easily
mado, Also liked by nearly everybody.
Potato Soup. -Havo ready a cup
ful of mashed potato, rub through a
eiovo to bo 'suro that it is free from
lumps. Add threo cups of milk that
hns bocn scalding with a slice of
onion. Ilomovo tho onion and bind
with a tablospoontul of butter which
has been cooked with a tablespoontul
of flour. Cook all together, add salt
and whlto popper and servo.
A nico sandwich which is easy to
proparo is bread and butter with a
sllco of cucumber dipped In French
dressing put botwoon tho slices.
An emergency dessert for unexpect
ed company la proparcd by putting e
canned pear or peach in a sherbet
glass, and heap on top a tablespoontul
of swoctonod nnd flavored whipped
cream.
A Balad that, too, may bo prepared
In a hurry la ono of lottuco sprinkled
with freshly roasted pcanuta broken
In bita and served with French dress
ing. A sprinkling of chopped onion
may bo added if tho flavor is liked.
Angel Food and Strawberries. Bake
an angel cake In a sheet cut In
squares, heap on fresh strawberries
and pour ovor each dish a tablespoon
ful or two .of whipped cream. Tula
Is an especially plooslng dessert bo
causo It looks bo protty. Ono can cut
tho cake in rounds or use any ehapo
of cutter.
Another nico dessert that may bo
quickly prepared is tho French pan
cakes. Use any good grtddlo cako

with Jolly nnd roll up, then roll In
sugar and sorve.

whon now.
To proparo crumbs for escallopod
dishes, season with salt and pepper
and stir in a small quantity of melted
butter. Mix well before using.
Clean currants by rubbing between
the hands with a little flour, thon
wash, drain and dry them and they
will bo ready for use If kept in a Mght
can.
Water in which vegetables are
cooked, oxcept potato wntor, Is good
to add to soup stock for flavoring,
Wator in which rlco Is cooked,
should never be thrown away. Add a
llttlo tomato and seasoning, and the
result will bo a Ono soup.
Lot tho cold water run a fow mo

fused to speak to any ot us, and ho
watched Bella furtively, as it ho bub
pcoted her of trying to get him out of
the houso.
Whon luncheon tlmo camo around
nnd ho had shown no indication ot go

wo had a conclave, and Max was
choson to remind him ot tho hour.
Jim wbb shut In tho studio, and we
waited together In tho hall whilo
Max wept up. Whon ho camo down
ho wftB somewhat ruffled.
"He wouldn't opon ts.o door," ho
roported. "und when I told him it
was meal tlmo, ho said ho wasn't hun

the rost ot us, Ho had nskod us here

THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPASSES ALL RECORD.
Tho returns recently Issued by the
Canadian Immigration Branch shows
that upwards ot 325,000 porsons ar
rived in Canada during tho past
twelvo months, declaring their inten
tion of becoming settlors in that coun
try. Of this number about 130,000
were from tho united States, tho bal
ance being from tho British Isles and
Northern Europe It will thus bo seen
that tho sturdy farming element that
has gono forward from tho Unltod
States is bolng splendidly supplement
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. Tho luro of
Canadian wheat oats, barley and flax
grown on tho rich pralrlo of Western
Canada Is constantly attracting more
and moro, and yoar by year the tide
of Immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; thero Is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
aro not surprised at the number from
the United States bolng as large as it
is but thoy did not look for bo large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not bo found unpro-

patch from Antwerp reads: "Tho dl

On tho dato of the above dispatch

that tho "Vanguard of the 1911 army

Thero was a solid train load of ef
