factory, which up to a few months
ago was making electric pocket lamps
at the rate of 100,000 a week has been

Herb Growing to Continue
As an Industry After War
(Correspondence ot Tha Associated Press.)
London, Jan. 15. The National
Herb-Growing association, organized
by women in the early days of the
war, has grown so that the growing
of herbs is now common among peo
ple with small gardens. The object is
to put herb-growing and drying on a
proper commercial ' basis so that it
may prove a valuable industry after
the war. Prior to the war this coun
try was largely dependent upon Ger
many for herb supplies.

CHAPTER IV.
From Sunshine to Shadows,
They leveled their pistols. The
stage was set for another of those
gangster murders, so common in
New York, when suddenly William
stood still. He heard the telephone
bell in the apartment ringing. With
Wee bee trailing his footsteps in a
manner typically Chinese, he returned
to the building and answered the
call. Unci ot JJetectives Ackerton
was on the other end of the wire.
William told him about the capture
of "Chug," and he and his assistant
hurried to the apartment. The as
sassins who were waiting outside fled
when they appeared. In searching
"Chug," Ackerton found a note writ
ten by ihe Oreat Mastei, tt ordered
the gangster to appear at a masquer
ade ball that evening and receive in
structions regarding Beverly and the
casket.
Ackerton deputized Strong as a
special detective and ordered him to
attend the ball disguised as "Chug"
and get the ordc.j from The Creat
Master, ilie chief of detectives said
he would be there in the costume of
brigand. Then he departed, after
turning "Chug" over to his assistant I
and ordering him locked up.
I lie mas .ueradj ball was one of the
t.'ays in which The Great Master
the .i.rge sums oi ,ey which
as a snpercriminal he gathered. When

splendor which was presented. The

a nicety for dancing. There was ait)

Strong had been in the nlace onlv
a short time when a c anding
lcoking individual, masked and wear
ing the uniform of a diplomatic rep
resentative, strode toward him. A
bevy of ballet dancers were going
through a bewildering beautiful terp
sichorean theme.
"Treasures, all of 'em, eh," the mas
querade diploma arked.
"A casket of treasures," was Wil
liam's insinuating answer, and then
straight .., he silently rebuked him
self for having forjotten he was pla; -ing
the part of a gangster.
"You're using poetic words tonight,
Chug," said the stranger.
"Yeah," William retorted, realizing
that lie was speaking to the master
criminal and feeling tempted to seiie
him by the throat and demand the
w.ii. -bouts of i.'vc.' -. .vMir do
you t'ink of dat? An' I can't even

Understand?"
"Surest thine, boss." said William
boiling with rage and a wild desire
to hurry to Briar street. The Great
Master here walked awav and Wil-
iam scanned the merrymakers. One
girl in particular attracted his atten
tion, she was leaning with apparent
tenderness on the arm of a man who
seemed devoted to her. They walked
toward a deserted corner ot the ba!
room, and William followed.
As they sat down he heard the girl's
eN.

escort pour out his affection to her.
She leaned forward passionately, and
her ardent wooer seized her in his
arms and showered her face with
kisses.
"You must unmask only for a mo
ment," he pleaded. , "No one is near.
I must gaze at your beautiful face."
She complied. It was Eunice Morton I
William drew back in disgust and hor
ror. And this was the girl who had
doubted Beverly Clarke. He thought
of Beverly as she had clung to him
during those embarrassing moments
with Mrs. Morton and Eunice in his
apartment, and then he gritted his
teeth and strode to another corner of
the ball room. Ackerton, excellently
disguised, crept toward him in true
brigand fashion.
"Well?" asked the chief of detec
tives. "It's in Briar street," said Strong.
"There is not a moment to lose. The
girl is there in great peril. They are
going to torture her. Let's make for
the place."
"Easy, hoy, easy," cautioned Acker
ton. "Suspecting that Briar street dive
right along, I sent one of my best in
formers, The Shadow, there. We are
to meet him near the place within ten
minutes. He will report on condi
tions. Then he and I will get every
policeman within two miles of the
house and will sweep out the whole
gang. 1 am going to pull the biggest
laid in the history of the New York
police department. And I want you
to be in the house beforehand to gath
er evidence.' Follow me."
As they left the hall The Great
Master called one of his henchmen.
"I just saw Detective Ackerton talk
ing to 'Chug,'" he, said. "Something
is wrong. Go over to Briar street and
give them the tip."
Strong in his disguise had no diffi
culty in entering the Briar street den.
In a room on an upper floor of the
place was Beverly Clarke. She was
being guarded by Jane Warren, who
had been taken away from the Clarke
home and pressed into that service by
Zulph in the belief that she might
coax Beverly into telling something
about the contents of the treasure
casket. Jane Warren, acting against
her better nature, failed miserably in
her questioning of the girl. Then
"Bull Whalen appeared and threat
ened Beverly.
Whalen had just left the room when
Strong came up the 6tairway. Whalen
spoke to him. He replied. Recogniz
ing the clubman's voice, Beverly be
gan calling for help.
At that moment the real "Chug" en
tered the den. On his way to prison
he had knocked down Ackerton's as
sistant and escaped.
Some one told him another "Chug"
was in the building, and realizing it
was William he began making a fran
tic search. "Chug" encountered his
double outside the room where Bev
erly was imprisoned.
So this is yer game?" exclaimed
the gangster. "You knocks me out on
a fluke, an' then puts on my clothes
an' comes here to be a spy, huh ? Well,
I'll fix you for sure this time." The

ttio morning. There Is no doubt of It. You
can do It, Just as thousands of other have
already done. There are lota of "hair-
tensers" sold, but to tell you the truth, I
have never yet found one that actually made
hair grow. After all, that's what you want,
a real grower. A fuw days' use of my hnlr
formula, which I gladly make publiu hfre,
will convince you that what I say Is right.
Tim fact le 1 have not tulu half of Its won
durful work. Your htlr will stop falling,
thin spots will fill In and your hair' will on

many friends. Add one ounce of beta

water (or a run unit of bay rum instead).

ANSWEHS TO QUESTIONS.
MRS. B. W. What If beauty la akin deep
It la one of the powerful things that make
the world go rountl and makes men's heads
go round, too. 1 think It's sour grapes to
you but It won't be in a couple of weeks.
You II wonder why other women "have surh
poor complexion!" Uu to tha drug store
and get one ounce of tin tone. Mix with
two tableepoonfuls of glycerine In one pint
of water. Apply this cream rather thick
and rub It In thoroughly, every day. You'll
oeo every blemish disappear quickly, and
your "dream' will come true, it never
falls to give a queenly, adorable, extraordi
nary complexion.

SEEKER I don't wonder you become em
barrassed from your excessive arm pit per
spiration. You can stop that unnatural con
dlilon, and also remove all the unpleasant
odor Instantly, by applying hydrollied talo
to the arm pits. You van get It at any drug
storn. It beats any prepared article sold
for this purpose.

MISS N. A. F. -It li the alkali tn the
soaps and prepared shampoos you use that
does that. Your hair will he brittle and the
atnip dry aa long as you use these. That's
because the alkali In soep destroys natural
oily secretions In hair. Here's a wonderful
little hint for a hmd wanh. It dlssolvea
every bit of fatty submance and srale from
scalp, leaves hair and sculp exquisitely
clean. A teaepoonful Of egaol In hsIC a cup
of water gives tho greatest shampoo Imag
inable. Twelve shampoos can bo gotton
from only 2b cents' worth of eggol, secured
from the drug store.

Chug gritted his teeth and drew
