"No. but I do wish you'd move around, skate a little and not get blue on the nose," he replied, pointedly enough. "I thought the modem girl skated to ao qulre the correct figure," I blurted out, rashly. "Do you mean that I haven't the correct figure?" she haughtily demanded. "Oh, Just referring to cutting figures on tha Ice," I amended, hastily. "Can you cut our initials?" she asked, mollified. "I'd rather let a Jeweler do It," I re sponded coyly.

Tha caller had thought nothing of It then, but, of course, the unhappy lawyer had been trying to distract attention from that in criminating paper, which no doubt con tained an estimate of tha wealth he hoped to gain nefariously." Everybody agreed that his apparent good qualities had been only a blind with which Martin Pldcoe had covered the blackness of his nature. So people were amaxed that Edna Wayland momta for blra lnatead-of offering up prayer of rejoicing at " her escape from a lifetime of misery. They said It was ridiculous sentimental . non sense for her to say that she atlll believed in Martin, Therefore It as most upsetting and con fusing when the sheriff of tha next county shot a burglar In the act of breaking Into a bank and tha robber made a deathbed confession, clearing up the Three Pines mystery. He said that Martin Pldcoe had trailed him Into the alley back of tha Security bank and caught hint breaking In the window and In the atruggia that fol lowed Pldcoe had ben pushed against the live wlra and the robber had made his escape. There la acorn In Edna Wayland a som ber eyes nowadays when ahe walka down Main street and sees the people who knew Martin from childhood and yet thought him capable of turning thief. "That girl," Ben Hchrimlger said one day after meeting Edna and being withered by a glance, "gives me the shivers! She acts as if we were tha dirt under her feet! Of course, none of ua really believed It of Mart so ahe needn't act that way." Chi cago News. r Mice as Life Savers The use of white mice on board aub-marlne boats give notice of escaping and dang erous gases which they do by exhibiting uneasiness or by dying has suggested the adoption of a Ilka expedient in coal mines. Wben an explosion occurs in a coal mine the great danger to rescuers Ilea in tha possibility or likelihood that there may be gas In tha worklnga down below. There may be much gaa or little gas; or there may be no gaa worth mentioning. Tha rescuers. In any given case, are unable to tell; and men aent Into the depths with helmets and oxygen apparatua have, of course, no means of ascertaining. The latest Idea Is for the helmet men to carry with them little cages containing two or three white mice. If tha latter show no signs of dUtress tha the oxygen ploneera telephone back to that effect and then the mmbvrs of the life-saving corps who are without protective apparatus are enabled to rush In fearlessly. "Come along! It's all right!" cries tha helmet man through his portable telephone and his mates follow. By this means much precloua time, when minutes may mean Uvea, Is saved This plan has already been tried with auccesa by a mining company in Pennsyl vania .

Take, for Instance, the case of the three girls In the flat overhead, writes Estelle Keoier. Only two daya ago they gave me the distress signal, and such a melee as I found In those two ilny rooms dignified by the name flat! Why, even the pictures on the wall were awry. ' "What's wrong, girls?'' I asked, catching sheet lightning Hashes of discontent. "Has the maid absconded with your favorite bits of wardrobe, or have you been trying a new chafing dish recipe?" . "Margaret, left the window open and it rained In oil my magaslnea." "Girls, girls," I protested, "remember only great artists can be temperamental. Mere folks have the last seven letters chopped off, which leaves the disagreeable, if true, word 'temper.' " "We're all nervous," excused Margaret- "Yes. arid Irritable," I added. "Now that you've called ma In to arbi trate I'm going to insist on a few hard and fast rulea that must be observed on penalty of Immediate expulsion. First, ap proach this flat every evening with the firm determination to see only tha good and pretty thlnga here. "Second, on your way from the car try to think of one service you are going to do for each of the other two girls during the evening something to make them more comfortable or happy. f3 Greediness and Good Looks Many a beauty la ruined by overeating. All of ua take more food than we need, and if there is the least taint of greedlnesa woe betida complexion and figure. If you would be beautiful restrain your appetite. Greedlnesa means an overworked liver, with a consequent yellowing complexion and leathery skin. The surest road to heaviness and lost suppleness of youth Is to habitually overeat. No woman can hope to keep her good figure who loves her food overmuch. If aha doea not get fat, she will probably ruin her digestion and with it goes health and freshness. Overeating brings stomach trouble, which is tha worat foe to beauty. Many a red noaa and watery eye tan be laid to too much food. Flabby muscles and. Bagging flesh are the swiftest followers In the train of three heavy meals a day. Did you aver see a keen, alert eye In tha heavy cater? Besides the dull look there may be yellow eyeballs. Aa beauty la not alone coloring and form, but expression, remember that greediness soon gives an earthy look to the fare that la a horrid tell-tale.

' lo ' you strikers agree to their adoption?" "They do," chorused the trio, willing to try anything in the lino of a peace pact. I ran In on them unannounced last night. For a minute I thought I was In the wrong flat. This room, fitted up all anug, made one want to sit down on the couch and burrow into the bright pillows. Margaret was reading aloud an article on "How to be Cosey on $8 a Week." Edith, who is clever with the needle, was mending a tear In the lace of Ethel's petticoat, and Ethel was preparing salad dressing for tomorrow's dinner. "Welcome, fairy flat reformer," they sang as I entered. Have some Harmony Club tea, our own special brew. Miss Peace Commissioner." It waa the most delicious cup of tea I ever tasted and Is hereby gratefully rec ommended to all discontented bachelor girl flat dwellers. J meal fills the bill quite as well and does not make you a nuisance to your friends. Who does not know the woman you couldn't drive Into eating a bit of break fast? Toil could stand It If she starved alone without forcing her theories on every one she can corral. Others expect to live to a prime, old age by foreswearing lunch. That's all right, but don't look reproachful when the appe tite of your friend la heartiest In the middle of the day. The latest fad Is to go dinnerlehs. "Eat your breakfast and lunch, if you will, but If you would be a sylph a wit and a xtranged to the doctor, do nut dally at the dinner table." Is the slogan of these en thusiasts. Tet worse are the benighted ones who have eschewed the family board entirely j and are trying to convert the world to tabloids and preiligested foods. Almost better for others the greedy who frankly enJo their food. They may be rather bestial and they certainlv take big chances on beauty, but they are not deadly bores. San Francisco Chronicle.

Clothes mad literally from 'wood are the late.it sartorial venture. The discovery of this new process is largely due to the fact that bleached cotton Is known to be composed of very nearly pure cellulose. Working on this ' basis, Scientists have discovered a method of manufacturing a thread of cellulose extracted from spruee wood. New England cotton spinners ara exceedingly optimistic about the discovery, and with material manufactured from this latest process expect to produce .clothing at prices far below those now charged. The finest product will, it Is aald, be cheaper than cotton In the bale. In addition to this cardinal advantage, the new material can be dyed any color, and a very Important point the dye will not fade. Lastly, the material la non-Inflammable. "This new process should bring the best up-to-date attire within the reach of al most all." said an expert on clothing mat ters. Also, since waistcoats are to be manufactured of this cellulose thread ex tracted from spruce wood, I can see no reason why all the rest of one's suit would not bo made from a similar material, in fact, the discovery should revolutionize the price of all cotton goods."

After one vicious jab, Mrs. Marsh sat half reversed, one eye on the danger closely following, and I also waa kept busy dodging tha pesky thing. In camp that evening- Mrs. Marsh kept waltzing around the file to keep warm. "Why, I frees my back' while I warm my hands!", she complained to her husband, who was rude enough to say, "You wouldn't listen. Put a horse blanket on and play Indian!" In pity and desperation at last I ventured to say, "t think I could make you more comfortable If you were not too tony to use my methods'," and, she was so miserable she readily listened. "Hob produced her father's rain coat and this was topped off with a black fur col larette. By the aid of a butcher knlfa I hacked a hole In those wool socks that her French heels might have room, and these were pulled over the dainty footgear. Next I emptied the grub box fur a seat and hung a horse blanket from a grape vine behind her. and then with feara as to the result tendered some spiritual consolation front the "emergency flask" fShe did not leave a drop!). She now produced a paper novel from inside her jacket, and declared she could enjoy herself, that I could go roam ing If I' wished, and she would tend tha fire. On returning, when near enough to sea over tha wind-break. I held my lireatn at the comical sight. Mis.
