I called rsth all my might. and was
r< warded by a piercing shriek from
t-cidy and tfce slam of the trunkroom
door.
I felt c-asier after that, although the
room was opprrtave'.y hot and
enervating. I had no doubt the search
for me would now come in the right
dire.-lion, and after a little. I dropped
into a doze. How long I slept I do;

my head felt heavy and congested.
Gradually I roused to my surround

ventilators, the air was bad and grow
BC worse. I was breathing long.

w.is 'he engine of the automobile, and
Halsey had come back. Hope sprang
up afresh. Halsey's clear head and
<’.• -rtrtub s intuition might do what
I.idi.y s hysteria and three detectives
bad failed in.

: There wi certainly something
go- u or. down below; doors were !
slan ming. people were hurrying !
through the hr 11s. and certain high]
note of ex-it-J voices penetra.ed to'
n. • .-hrilly. 1 hoped they were coming ■
closer, but after a time the sounds j
d < d away below, and I was left to the !
silence and heat, to the weight of the'
darkness. to the oppression of walls
that seemed to close in on me and'
stifle n:e.
The first warning I had was a I
stealthy fumbling at the lock of the I
mante l-door. With my mouth oiieti
to scream. I stopped. Perhaps the sit
uation had rendered me acute, per
bjjjis it was instinctive. Whatever it
was. I sat without moving, and some
one outside, in absolute stillness, ran
his fingers over the carving of the!
r ante? and—found the panel.
Now the sounds below redoubled: i
from toe clatter and jarring I knew.
that several people were running up
the stairs, and as the sounds ap
proached. I could even hear what they
said.
"Watch the end staircases!” Jamie
son shouted. “Damnation—there's no
light here!" And then a second later.
“All together now. One — two —
three—"
The door into the trunkroom had
been locked from the inside. At the
second that it gave, opening against
the wall with a crash and evidently
tumbl'ng somebody into the room, the
stealthy fingers beyond the mantel
door gave the knob the proper im
petus, and—the door swung open, and
closed again. Only—and Liddy al
ways screams and puts her fingers in
her ears at this point—only now I !
was not alone in the chimney room. |

A hand in an empty room! He drew
in his breath, the sharp intaking of

Instantly, he made no movement. I
think absolute terror had him by the
throat. Th n he stepped back, with- |
out turning, retreating foot by foot ;
from The Dread in the corner, and I
do not think he breathed.
Then, with the relief of space be
tween us. 1 screamed, ear-spiittingly.
madly, and they heard me outside.
“In the chimney!” I shrieked. ‘Be
hind the mantel! The mantel!"
With an oath the figure hurled itself j
across the room at mo, and I
screamed again. In his blind fury he ;
had missed me: 1 heard him strike
the wall. That one time 1 eluded
him: 1 was across the room, and I had
got the chair. He stood for a second,
list' ring, th.cn—he made another rush
and 1 struck out with my weapon. I
think it stunned him. for 1 had a sec
ond s respite when 1 could hear him
breathing, and some one shouted out
side:
"We—can't—get—in. Iior.-—does—it
open?”
But the man in the room had
changed his tactics. I knew he was
creeping on me, inch by inch, and I
could not tell from where. And then
—he caught me. He held his hand
over my mouth, and I bit him. I was
helpless, strangling—and some one •
was trying to break in the mantel
from outside. It began to yield some- !
where, for a thin wedge of yellowish
light was reflected on the opposite
wall. When he saw that, my assailant
dropped me with a curse; then—the
opposite wall swung open noiselessly,
closed again without a sound, and I
was alone. The intruder was gone.
"In the next room!” I called wiidiy.
“The next room!” But the sound of !
blows on the mantel drowned my
voice. By the time I had made them
understand, a couple of minutes had
elapsed. The pursuit was taken up
then, by all except Alex, who was de
termined to liberate me. When I
stepped out into the trunkroom a free
woman again I could hear the chase
far below.
1 must say, for all Alex's anxiety to
set me free, he paid little enough at- ;
teniion to my plight He jumped
through the opening into the secret
room and picked up the portable safe.
"1 am going to put this in Mr. Hal
sey s room. Miss lnnes.” he said, “aEd
I shall send one of the detectives to
guard it.”
I hardly heard him. I wanted to
laugh and cry in the same breath—
to crawl into bed and have a cup of
tea. and scold Biddy, and do any of
the thousand natural things that I had
never expected to do again. And the
air! The touch of the cool night air
on my face!

Felice Women in the West
Cities of Portland and Seattle Are
Said to Have Found the Inno
vation Satisfactory.
The cities of the west are never
afraid of innovations, says the St.
Paul I<:spatcb. This is one explnna
lion of the existence of police women
in Portland and Seattle. The other ex
planation must be found in the fact
that these cities have discovered that
police women are needed in the busi |
n< ss of maintaining order and solv
ing problems of ord >r in the large ;
":es The old theory that men are1
the criminals and must be policed by
men i.; gning way before the fact that 1
there do appear from time to time j
women criminals, and especially be
fore the fact that women can be saved
before crime fixes them permanently
in its possession.
In Portland there is a woman on
the police force who has done efficient !
work in connection with the Young
Women's C’hr:. tian association — an
other vital factor in large towns in the
ordering of the city. She had also
accomplished much as a probation offi
cer. Having served her term in these,
the woman was ready when Portland
decided that it required a police wom
an. She is a regular member of the
d' partment. with the same recount- i
tion shown to men. In Seattle there
is also a police woman, although her
appointment is temporary—during the
Alaska-Yukon exposition. In ail prob ■
ability, however, Seattle will fled this j1
cne j olice woman of such value that
she will be retained.

Worried Over His Trousers.
The humors and tragedies of New !
York East side life are delineated bv 1
Frank Marshall White in an article in
Harper s Weekly. Master Jacob Hos- 1
enberg. eleven or twelve years of !
age. was suffering from a broken leg. 1
His supreme agony came, however, j '
when Dr. M. ripped up one side of
the juvenile trousers with a pair of
scissors to make room for bandages.
‘My new pants! My new pants! He’s
cutting my new pants!’ Jacob !
shrieked, and almost wriggled himself 1
out of the grasp of the policeman and \
the driver in his efforts to prevent the
mutilation of his raiment. All the
way to his home in the ambulance the \
boy bewailed his mangled trousers !
more than he did his broken leg.

Palatable Liver.
Lamb's or cait s liver is not a dish
to be despised. The common method
of serving it fried with bacon is very
appetizing if well cooked; but one
likes variety even in serving liver.
Try this way and see how choice
a dish it is: Fry three slices of salt
pork until brown, lay in the liver and
sear well on both sides, then put into
a covered baking dish with a few po
tatoes parboiled, a few carrots and aa
omea that has been tried brown in
the pork tat. If you have a liuie broth
or stock pour it over the meat and
vegetables, if not use boiling wat.r,
cover and cook for several hours until
the vegetables are tender. Serve in
the easserok. Season when the dtsh
is about bait cooked.
Another nice way to serve liver ; -
to wrap a piece of bacon around ach
piece of liver alter seasoning well arid
rolling in hour thou bake in a hot
oven until the bacon is crisp. Turn
race during the cooking. Liver with
curry sauce is another way to add
\ ariety to its serving. Cook the liver
as usual, adding a bit of oak i. to the
fat fer flavor. Remove the live r and
ad 1 two tablespoonfuls of flour, a half
teaspoonful of curry powder and a cup
of stock. Strain over the liver and
serve with rice.
Things Worth Knowing.
When a stitch is dropped in a fine
silk stocking which will cause "rail
roading" wet the place to arrest any
further damage and then it will go
no further and the place may be
lamed when the stocking is removed.
Stockings that have been dipped in
water and dried before wearing w ill
not be so apt to drop stitches.
Try using varnished paper as cover
ing for shelves; it is easily wiped and
kept clean.
To clarify fat. add a raw rotate cut
in small pieces to the fat and allow it
to her.t gradually. When the potatoes
are well browned remove them and
s'rain the fat through a cheese cloth.
The potato absorbs any odors and
collects som<» of the sediment, the re
mainder sinks to the bottom of tht
kettle.
LOVE the sm- U of apples
when they’re getting
streaky red.
Ana l love the smell that crinkles from
an old time posy bed;
The earthy spice of new plowed fields is
e’er.most sublime.
But there ain’t no smell that ekals the
smell of picklin’ time.”
There are so many good things to
prepare for the winter that it is hard
to choose when one can have but a
few on account of the expense. Those
fortunate enough to possess a good
garden may be independent of the
markets.
Pickling Tims.
There are so many good things to
he prepared in the fall that the house
wife who has not a well-stored fruit
closet may well feel that she. like
the butterfly, has idled the summer
hours away, and the winter will find
her with bare shohes. Most house
wives have old and tried recipes that
have been banded down from mother
to daughter, so that those need not
be repeated.

Pickles Like Mother Used to Make.
The following are old and tried re- ,
cipes which are never quite out- '
classed by the now and up-to-date
pickles:
Green Tomato Pickles—Slice one '
peck of gro ".i tomatoes into a jar. put
a layer of tomatoes, then a few slices
of onion, using half a dozen onions,
sprinkle w:'h a capful of salt and let
stand 3-i hours, drain and add one
quart of vinegar and choice of spices:
cook until the vegetables are tender j
When cold add a tab’espoonful of
ground mustard mixed with a little
vinegar.
Ripe Cucumber Pickles—Cut ripe eu
cumbers in halves, cover with water.
: allowing two teasponfuis of pondered
! alum to each quart of water. Heat
gradually to the boiling point, then let j
1 simmer for two hours on the back part
: of the range. Drain and chill in ice
water. Make a sirup of two pounds
of sugar and a pint of vinegar, with
i two tablespoonfuls each of whole
: cloves and cinnamon tied in a cloth
Remove the cucumbers and put in r
s'one iar; pour over them the boiling
| sirup. Scald the sirup three successive .
mornings and pour over the cucurn
hers. Sweet pickles of different kind
may be prepared from, the following
recipe: Take 3!2 pounds of brown
sugar, a pint of vinegar and sever
pounds of fruit. Spicing is varied tc
suit the taste. Alwars put the spice
in a small muslin bag. then it may be
removed if the piekies are too strong
with spice. Most people like one part
cloves to two pa-ts cinnamon for :
spicing. Crab apples are delicious
pickled in this proportion; also pears
and peaches
Pickled Onions—For those who like
pickled onions here is a good recipe: !
Select small silver-skinned onions
put them in a brine, after peeling j
carefully, i.et stand three days in a
brine that will float an egg Drain and
put in a jar. making a layer three
inches deep; sprinkle with horse rad
ish. cayenne pepper or chopped red I
pepper, cinnamon and cloves; repeat
until the jar is full. Take vinegar
to cover, add a cupful of brown sugai
to a quart and pour boiling hot over
tfco onions.
K.\ \vi say Wf have not time
for anything, we usually mean
that we have not inv'lination
for it. It is significant that most persons
find time for what they are bound to
do.”
Helpful Hints.
Closely woven goods require less
starch to stiffen.
All fats except mutton can be used
in cookery; that may be used for
salves and soaps.
Put the roast in a very hot oven at
first, then after ten or fifteen minutes
lower the heat so that it will cook
slowly and retain the juices.
When coloring, use a little vaseline
on the hands to keep the dye from
sinking in and then wash them, using
lemon juice to remove the stains.
Bits of dampened paper thrown
over the carpet before sweeping will
aid in keeping down the dust. Tea
leaves are also good and tend to
brighten the carpet.
For a long-sleeved corset cover, cut
the top off of your worn winter union
suits. Such a corset cover costs noth
ing and is as good looking as one
made for the purpose.
When having a roof shingled, save
some of the shingles and leave them
exposed to the air and sun until well
weathered; then when a few shingles
are wanted for patching the roof it
will not have that patched look.
When the stilletto is lost, try usins
the orange wood stick, the kind used
for the nails. Many workers prefei
them to a bone or ivory one. and il
lost can be easily replaced. The eye
lets made are as smooth and perfect
as if made by the stilletto.
Spiced Cucumber Pickles.
Soak medium sized cucumbers fot
12 hours in strong salt water. Then
scald them In vinegar and pack in
jars. Prepare the vinegar with spices
and pour boiling hot over them. Use
whole spices.
