land through a motive of jealousy.
(Continued From Yesterday.)
"It is hard to defin* either the
nature or extent of the danger to he
feared."
"A perfect example of the carte
en tierce." explained Furneaux with
Utmost suavity*
"You are strange men," said Mary,
looking with wide open eyes from one
to the other, * hut I have real faith
fn you. and will do what you advise
It is all very dreadful. I seem to be

"Your opinion as to how long this
terrible situation may last.”
"When floes your leave expire. Cap
tain Stuart?” demanded Furneaux
briskly
“At the end of August."
"Oh, we ought to know who killed
Anthony van Cortland long* before
* hen *’
"And now." said Winter, rising
from the ledge of rock on which he
had heen glad to subside, "the con
ference adjourns. You young people
will make the best of your way back
to the% Saranac road after climbing
this ridge. | return by the footpath,
while you. Furneaux. T believe, head
for the gasoline depot "
"May I ask you something. Mr.
Furneaux?" said Mary.
"Certainly. I'll answer. even
though either of these sons of Anak
chokes me' Instantly thereafter."
“I only wish to know how you
brownpd your face and hands."
"With walnut juice After the first
thorough staining a slight application
each morning preserves the right tint.
Now what do you want to know about
Mr. Winter or Captain Stuart?"
"I daren't tell you," said Mary.
"You might speak the truth.
I Come along. Alec We have a long
way to go. r.oodby, you two. I
don't believe you are half such ogres
as you pretend to be."
The deteetves waited until Mary
and her escort were out of sight up
the gully. Then Winter said:
"Anything doing?"
"No. There may be developments
tomorrow, but I don't look for ruc
tions until that fool of a soldier
grams the girl In his arms and she
assures him with a shuddering sigh
that she is his forever."
"Well, you certainly brought him
up to his fences more than once to
day.” s
Furneaux snapped his fingers in
disdain of all shy gallants.
"The fellow is bewitched." he
squeaked. "Name of a good little
gray man 1 This morning she was
weeping about her money, and lifted
her face to his. and all the poor fish
could do was to hleat 'Confound it"
and ask what there was to cry about.
I've never met such an ass in all my
born days."
"He's coming along nicely," said
the big philosopher "You've seen
too much of him Now, I recognize
marked progress."
"Well, perhaps I'm impatient. Any
how. the pot won't boil over till
Hakes is here, and both he and Dur
rane realize that Stuart gets the girl.
Hut, I'm anxious. James, and that's
a fact Mille dlables! I don't want
either of these young people to lose
life or limb"
"If therw is the slighest chance of
that we nund act.”
"It would be folly, and do no good,
before we have a renl rase. Any
thing fresh in New York?”
"Yves. Something about a dog,
which was found d»ad two days tie
fore van Cortland got hi*. Murkily,
the street cleaner who came across
the body was a bit of a dog fancier,
and the symptoms puzzled him. I'm
having the story cleared up."
“D’ye know, I like the sound of that
yarn."
"So did I. It may give us a useful
pointer, though the dog was a fox
terrier."
For once. Furneaux was silenced,
though he shared I)r Johnson's con
tempt for the man who perpetrates a
pun.
CHAPTKR XIV
The Gage of Rattle.
Furneaux meant well, but his blood
curdling suspicions as to the present
and prospective tenants of "Sans
Souci" ended any tentalve love
makiiy: between Mary Dixon and
Alec Stuart. They xaid little during
an irksome and almost dangerous
bit of mountaineering. While walk
ing back to the lake they drifted back
to the friendly Intimacy of the past
few days.
“I see now what you meant when
you said that those detectives could
wheedle you into doing almost any
thing they desired," said the girl
thoughtfully. "And the big one tB
just as masterful as the little one.
I .almost found myself believing that
Mr. Furneaux was using arguments
Invented by Mr. Winter. Yet that
cannot possibly he correct, beiause
we know for certain they did not
meet here until we joined them, and
Mr. Winter only left New York last
night."
"In half an hour you have hit upon
a curious fact which I did not dis
cover for some days," said Stuart.
"They don't need speech. They think
alike, though Furneaux would fly Into
a rage if I said that to him I have
no doubt they quarreled furiously
before they parted."
"Quarreled!"
"Yes. That Is a trick of theirs
when the chase is warm. They are
an extraordinary pair.”

June Marriages
Likely to Break
Gotham Record
Handsome Pastor of Little
Church Around the Corner
Warns Couples to Be
Sure Love Exists.
By International News Hervlee.
New Yolk, June — June — the
bride's own month—held promise to
day of breaking all records for num
ber of weddings in the history of New
York.
Dr. Randolph Ray, new, handsome,
youthful pastor of the historic "mar
rying church”—the Little Church
Around the Corner—Is authority for
the statement.
Between rapid-fire weddings today
Dr. Ray, successor to the late Dr.
Georg# C. Houghton, gave his views
on "how to be happy though wed.”
Be Sure of Ixtve.”
“First. Be sure love exists," Dr. Ray
said. "Mere physical attraction, or
mental attraction alone, is not suffi
cient. Reaf love requires a combina
tion of both.
"Second. Remember love is a part
nership and marriage is a democra
cy. The husband is no longer 'king
of the home.'
“Third. Have a financial under
standing, keeping a joint checking
account. The old custom of putting
the wife on an allowance is just an
other way of saying she is on the
salary list.
“Fourth. Be prepared to sacrifice.
Marriage means giving up of much.
“Marriage has withstood all the at
tacks of the experimentalists Marry
ing Is about as popular today as ever
in history."
No Secret Marriages.
The Little Church Around th' Cor
ner has adopted a new policy. I'nder
Dr. Ray there will be no secret mar
riages Runaways cannot find sanc
tuary there.
"Many modern marriage* are en
tered into too hastily.” Dr. Kay as
sorted. "Investigation will prove the
majority of divorces are directly
traceable to this. It is my hope that
every little church' marriage will l>e
a lasting one.”
Foreign Sales Boom.
L. H. Kurts, advertising manager
of the General Motor* Export OMfr
pany, spent some time at the Olds
Motor Works In Lansing, Mich., re
cently. He reports that sales in for
eign countries are exceeding the ex
pectations of his company.

your neighbors about it.

Postoffice Elevator Pilot
Holds Long-Distance Record
George H. Hurd Has Traveled
31,680 Miles in Present
Life—36 Years’ Ex
perience.
George H. Hurd has piloted his ele
vator in the Postoffice building a
distance equivalent to four times
through the earth.
As an elevator tourist, he is equal
ed by no other person in Omaha.
He has traveled 31,680 miles in his
present elevator. And about 25,000 in
the cars he piloted before this one.
He has been piloting passenger ele
vators ever since he took his first
Job in January, 1888, when he was 21.
He is 57 now.
Thirty-six years as an elevator con
ductor. And during 22 of those years
he has been piloting the same eleva
tor In the Postoffice building. There's
a meter on this which shows that it
travels about 120 miles a month. So
George knows whereof he speaks
when he mentions his mileage.
$30 a Month.
George went to elevator conducting
in the Sheely block. Fifteenth and
Howard streets, now the Carlton ho
tel, in January, 1888, at a salary of
$30 a month.
A year and a half later he resigned
this to accept a better job in the New
York Life building, now the Omaha
National Bank building. Seventeenth
and Farnam streets, at $40 a month.
Two years later he became eleva
tor conductor in the city hall at $50 a
month. Gosh, how the money rolled
in!
Gets Permanent Job.
Four years later, the administra
tion change*! and he went bark to
his former job In the New York Life
building From there he went to an
other elevator in the United States
National Bank building
And then, in 1!toi Ue landed in hia
present permanent Job.
Salaries continue., soar, until,
just before the war, he was getting
165 a month. And during the war
a monthly bonus of $2" was piled on
top rtf this, making the salary $85,
where it stands today.
George has a wife and two grown
sons, owns his own home, a pretty
place with all modern improvements
it 4011 Charles street.
“'Hoes Pretty Well.”
He has raised his family and bought
and paid for his home all on his sal
iry. He had a little good fortune in
«om* real estate deals. He bought
(wo lots for $400 at Forty second and
Itavenport streets and, In two years,
etld th‘*m for $2.80". How he saved
he $400 is the problem, but George (
lays he did it by good management, j
\nother time h» bought a lot at For- |
ty third and Dodge Btreets for $700
and sold it for $1,050.
He has never lost a day's pay since
he took th» Postoffice building job.
"I had 15 cents when I landed in
Nebraska at the age of 17 he says.
1 think I've done pretty well."
We ll say he has.

New Gas Gauge
New Type of Instrument
Board Gasoline Indicator on ,
Eight-Cylinder Models.
A new type of Instrument board
gasoline gauge has been adopted by
the Olds Motor Works. < Lansing,
Mich., for use on its eight-cylinder
models.
This gauge consists of a long
metal tube extending from the gaso
line tank in the rear of the car to
the marked gauge on the dashboard.
In the tube, at the tank end, is a
column of liquid which rises inside
tfie tube as the tank is filled.
This column presses against ths
air in the tube which Is compressed
as the liquid in the tube rises to
the height of the gasoline in the tank.
Thia air pressure is passed on to
another column of liquid in the gaso
line gauge and as the pressure in*
• reasee. while the tank is being filled,
the air forces the liquid in the gauge
to a higher point, showing the num
ber of gallons in the tank on «
marked scale at the side of the gauge.
