I went shopping this morning and almost got blown away. I looked all over for some black satin high shoes. but 1 couldn t get my size anywhere. Mrs. Van Scott was out shopping, too, this morniiig. She is a perfect ly adorable little woman and so styl ish, too. 1 really am quite .nad about the way she dresses. This morning she wore an adorable hat of black ostrich. 'I'll e hat was turban shape, only higher in the back than in the trout. It was just a mass of ostrich feathers, so I could not tell whether the shape was made of velvet or nut, but 1 rather imagine it was. It was a stunning hat and looked lovely on Mrs. Scott.

I CHAPTER VI. The House in the Cave. THE German guard, facing Teg gy's pistol, put up his hands above his head. Now that Leggy had captured him, she didn't know what to do with him. Sup j posing Officer Casey shouldn't come i back. Supposing he had been over i come by the other guard. It wasn't pleasant to think about. This chap might spring at her any minute. .Aiitl then what would she do.' ' "Good "girl!" whispered a voice ; behind her. "Keep him that way a j minute and I'll fix him." Peggy was comforted. She knew Officer Casey was near. But why was be hiding? Why didn't he come boldly up and take the German pris I oner? I She waited and waited, but Officer Casey did nothing. Her arm grew tired, and the pistol wavered a bit. 'She saw the German's eyes light up as he noticed 'this and she steadied ' her hand. I Suddenly there came a thud from nearby in the forest the sound of 1 some one crashing to the ground a sharp groan a brief struggle then silence. I The German stiffened. His eyes I gleamed. Evidently he thought aid ! was at hand. For just a moment Peggy's eyes strayed in that direc tion. In that moment the German j leaped toward her. She pulled the I trigger of the pistol. There followed j only a harmless click. The German gave a cry of j.triumph. But he rejoiced too soon : Whang! A club came down on his head and he sprawled at Peggy's i feet. The club was in the hands of j Officer Casey, who quickly had the fellow tied up. "That finishes the last of the guards," said the policeman. "You were a brave girl to bold this chap so long with an unloaded pistol. It gave me a chance to get his com panion. Now for the cave in the rocks." They quickly climbed to the top of the hill. There they found two tall trees that served as wireless towers. While they were looking for the rest of the equipment, Blue Jay gave a cry of warning. A man was com ing up through a gully. Peggy and Officer Casey quickly hid them selves. The man went straight to one of the tall trees. He pulled a rope and there appeared from the bushes one end of the wireless aerials." Then he went to the other tree and pulled up the other end. The plant was ready for business. As the man hurried back down the gully. Officer Casey ami Teggy followed. They saw him go up to n aire Remain for You to Buy YOUR PATHE For Clhrata&e!

Dealer Wanted in Every Town J The German Guard put his hands above his head. a rockv wall, oush on" a hie sluli of stone and disappear from view. "That's the cave the Jays told me about," said Blue Jay. From behind the wall of rock presently came a faint, interrupted buzzing. "He's sending a wireless message. We'll stop that!" Saying this Officer Casey ran back up the hill. He low ered the "aerials" and smashed the outfit. Then, with Peggy, he hid in the path leading from the gully. Up this path the operator soon came running to see what was wrong. Officer Casey met him with a pistol a loaded one this time, and in a trice the man was a prisoner. "Now, we'll take a look at the cave," said Officer Casey. "Good," muttered Officer Casey. "Now maybe we'll find who is sup plying the wireless messages." Coughing and pretending that his voice was hoarse, he answered the phone. His eyes grew larger and larger as he wrote down the mes sage that came. When it was fin ished he hung up the receiver. "1 recognized the voice at the oth er end," he whispered extiltingly. "It's Strunk, manager of the tele phone company. He told of a con voy of transports about to sail. We'll hustle back to town and nab the whole gang. We've done a big ser vice for Uncle Sam this day, and PJ1 surely be promoted to the de tective force." "Didn't I tell you I was a detec tive." shrieked Blue Jay. "What would you have done if it hadn't been for me?" "You're right, Blue Jay," cried Peggy. "If it hadn't been for your thinking Officer Casey a criminal we'd never have found this nest ot wireless spies." And that ends the story, for on the way back to town in the auto Peggy fell asleep and never knew another thing until she awoke at home. ; Way to Use Baking Soda I know the biggest discovery 1 made last year was in reading an article in Good Housekeeping on "What to Make With Sour Milk." It said: "The tendency is either to use too much soda or else not to distribute it thoroughly. Therefore, allow but one-half teaspoonful ot soda to each cupful of sour milk and add one-fourth to one-half teaspoon ful of baking powder. In addition always sift the soda and baking powder with the flour, instead ol putting soda into sour milk." Sinci following this advice, I have had splendid success with everything made with sour milk. (In next week's tory, Peggy visit, thi land of the Snow Klvos., Y. W. C. A.

According to Miss Ethel Byrd. Y. W. C. A. di rector of camp and community work among foreign born women: "These women havc served not only as interpreters for the foreign man who could not understand or ders or know how to communicate with his people, but also as friends and advisers to the foreign women who visited camp. They proved to be valuable welfare workers in whom the foreign men trusted. For this reason they wilt remain at camp as long as the men are there, and then they will go with them into their communities, where they can con tinue the work of Americanizing these foreign families."
