ACHES AND PAINS
TURNED TO JOY BY

' Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
Tells of Work Wrought in
. Transforming Rest
Areas.
The Abandoned Room
By Wadsworth Camp
Xew York, Dec. 25. How Ameri
can women, Y. M. C. A. workers,
changed unattractive recreation
areas established by the military au
thorities for American soldiers on
leave, into popular play grounds was
told today by Mrs. Theodore Roose
velt, jr., who recently returned from
France after 17 months' service there
in charge of the women of the leave
areas. Mrs. Roosevelt was 'he first
woman to enlist with the Y. M. C.
A. for overseas duty. ' She took
charge of the first canteen estab
lished in Paris.
"When the authorities decided that
the soldiers must take their leave
in certain restricted areas, the men
evinced the greatest indignation and
disgust," Mrs. Roosevelt declared.
"They christened the first of the
areas, which was Aix-ies-Bains,
'Aches and Pains.'
"We went ahead and ook enire
charge of; the place. We hiied ca
sino and installed a canteen where
the bar had been, leaving the brass
rail and the marble counters there
for old time's sake. The baccarat
room was turned into a place for re
ligious gatherings and other rooms
were fixed up for theaters and li
braries. .
..'AVe arranged for excursions and
picnics across the lake and into the
mountains, bicycle rides, hikes and
fishing tnps , for tb daytime and
shows, movies, concers and 'stunts'
for the evenings.
.."These first troops came direct
from the front line trenches, where
they had been fighting on!v the night
before, and they were caked wittt
mud..They looked casually about the
town upon their arrival, out when
they saw what had been arranged
for them, they hurried awav to get
cleaned up, refusing to enter the
buildings as they were dressed.
:. "Within a day every man had en
tered into ihe spirit of the place
and were playing like youngsters.
"In all. their playing, in al; of
which." women took part, the men ex
erted the greatest care for them, and
no matter how rough a game was I
have never seen a woman jostled in
it; ' : . ,
"As a result of the success of these
leave areas, the 'Y'.stablished 21
hour recreation centers immediately
behind the lines where men could
get hot. baths, which was the princi
pal thing they wanted. ,
"Every woman in the organiza
tion, did everything that was neces
sary' to make the work go. 'We all
scrubbed and mopped and cooked,
though it was our policy to try to
have French help for this, for our
greatest service was m directing and
arranging for the recreation and en
tertainment of the boys. One time
with one other American woman I
cooked doughnuts from 9 a. m. until
4 p. m. on a day when cake and meat
could not be bought, so that 200 sail
ors could have something unusual
for their day's leave."

CHAPTER XXXVII. ,
Gossip of Ghosts.
There was no mockery in the
Panamanian's answer.
"I have told you the court for me
has always been full of ghosts." He
pointed to Silas Blackburn. "It
frightened me that this man should
come back through the court from
his grave, with all the evidence
pointing to an astral magic. 1 want
ed to retrace his journey. I thought
at the grave, if I were alone, some
thing might expose itself that had
naturally remained hidden in the
presence of so many materialistic
human beings."
A smile spread over Rawlins' cold
unimaginative features.
"That sounds well, Mr. Parades,
and there is a lot about the case that
looks like ghosts, but leave us a fewjr
flesh-and-blood clues. This woman
in black is one of them, although she
has been as slippery as an eel. It
looks to me as if you went to the
grave to meet her alone exactly as
you went to the deserted house to
talk quietly with dier night before
last. Maybe she mistook you for
one of us snooping in the dark, and
let you have it."
"If that is so," Parades said easily,
"the nature of my wound vwould
suggest that she is guilty of the
crimes in the old room. Why not go
out and arrest her then? She might
explain everything except the return
to life of Mr. Blackburn. I'm afraid
that's rather beyond you in any
case. But at least find her."
Robinson joined in Rawlin's laugh.
"Why go outside for that?"
Parades started.
"You never mean"
"You bet we do," Rawlins said.
"'If what I've doped out hadn't been
so we'd have caught her long before.
We're not blind, and we haven't
missed the nerve with which she
helped the doctor fix you up. .We
haven't caught her before because
her headquarters have been right
here in this house all the time. You
remember fhe other night. Mr. Rob
inson. You'd just questioned her in
the court and had threatened to
question him too, when she came in
here ahead of us and slipped out the
back way. She must have told him
to follow because they had to talk,
undisturbed by us. They went by
different roads to the deserted house
where a light had been seen before.
We happened to hit his trail first and
.followed it. I'll guarantee you did
not see her when you first came in?
Robinson shook his head.
"Mr. Graham kept me busy and I
rather waited for your report before
pushing things. I didn't see her or
question her until after Mr. Graham
and Mr. Blackburn had started for
New York."
"And she could have sneaked in
the back way any time before that,"
Rawlins said.
"It's utter nonsense 1" Graham
cried.
Rawlins turned on him.
"See here, Mr. Graham, you've
been trying to fight me off this way
all afternoon. It won't d "
"Katy's a good girl," Silas Black
burn quavered.
With a growing discomfort Bobby
realized that when the woman had
cried near the graveyard he had
reached out for Katherine and had
failed to find her. Moreover, the
night Graham and he had heard the
crying in the old room she had stood
alone in the corridor. It was easily
conceivable that the turn of events
after Robinson's arrival should have
mi3 it necessary for conspirators
to consult free from any danger of
disturbance. But Katherine, he told
himself, was assuredly the victim of
coincidence. He couldn't picture
her entangled in any of Parades'
purposes. Her dislike of the jman
was complete and open. But he saw
that Rawlins out of the mass of ap
parently inexplicable clues xhad ex
tracted this material qne and would
follow it desperately, no matter who
was hurt; and Robinson was behind
him. That' accounted for their fre
quent excursions upstairs during the
afternoon, for Rawlins' ascent ' as
soon as they had returned from the
grave. They had evidently found
something to sharpen their suspic
ions, and Graham probably knew
what it was. ,
. Robinson took out his watcfi.
"We can't put this off too late," he
mused. - .
The detective at his heels, he
walked to the library. Bobby start
ed after them. Graham caught him
and they crossed the dining room
together.
"What do they mean to do?" Bob
by asked.
"I have been afraid of it since this
afternoon," Graham answered. "I
haven't cared to talk about it. I had
hoped to Jrold them off. They in
tend to search Katherine's room. I
think they believe she has something
important hidden there. I've been
wondering if they'veV got track of
Howells' report which we told Jen
kins to hide."
"Why," Bobby asked, "should that
involve Katherine?"
"Howells may have written some
thing damaging to her. He knew
she -wa devoted to your interests."
Robinson called to them from the
library.
Won t you please come in. Mf.
Blackburn?"
Bobby and Graham continued to
the library. They found Rawlins
gazing through the door of the pri
vate staircase.
"We could go up this way," he
was saying, "and across the old
room, so that she needn't suspect."
"What is he talking about?" Bob
by asked Robinson angrily.
"You wanted to help," Robinson
answered, "so Rawlins and I are go
ing to give you a chance. We are
about to search your cousin's room.
We hope to find there an explana
tion of a part of the mystery the
mctive, at least, for Howells' death;
perhaps your own exoneration. You
would do anything to have that,
wouldn't you? You've said so."
"At her expense!" Bobby cried.
"You've no right to go to her room.
She's incapable of a share in such
crimes. Do you seriously think she
could plan an escape from the grave
and bring back to life a man three
days dead?" .
"Give . me a . human . being that
caused death," Robinson answered,
"and I'll tackle the ghosts later.
You're wrong if you think I'm going
to quit cold because your grand
father looks like a dead thing that
moves about and talks., . I shan't
give up to that madness until I've
done everything in my power. I
would be a criminal myself if I failed
to do as Rawlins wishes. If your
cousin's skirts are clear, no harm
will be done. I'm acting on the as
sumption that your oonfession was
honest. I want you o get Miss
Perrine out of her room. I want
you to see that she stays downstairs
while we search." ' '
"You're" already searched' her
room."
"Not since Rawlins"
Robinson caught himself.
"Never mind that.- It is necessary
it should be searched tonight. Even
you'll acknowledge it's significant
that all day when she has been
downstairs her door has been
locked."
"It's only significant," Bobby
flashed, "in view of your treatment
of her yesterday."
Robinson grinned.
"That will hardly go down. Raw
lins has hesitated to break in. I've
instructed him to do so now, if nec
essary. For the last time, will you
bring your cousin down? Will you
go through and unlock the door
leading from the old room to the,
private hall so we can get up?"
"No," Bobby cried, "I wouldn't do
it if I believed you were right And
I know you're wrong."
"Prove that we're wrong. Clear
your cousin by helping us, Robin
son urged.
"Since you're so determined," Gra
ham said quietly, "I'll do it."
"Hartlyl What are you thinking
of?"
"Of showing them how wrong
they are." Graham answered. "I'll
tell her Dr. Grooom wishes to speak
to her about Mr. Blackburn.
I'll warn him to keep her downstairs
for a quarter of an hour. That
should give you plenty of time."
Robinson nodded.
"She'll never forgive you," Bobby
said, "it's spying."
He wondered that Graham should
choose such a course so soon after
it hiM become clear that Katherine
had never really loved him.
"It's the best way to satisfy them."
Graham said. . "I . have, perhaps,
more faith than you in Katherine."
He left them Ho carry out Robin
son's instructions. They waited at
the entrance of the private staircase.

CHAPTER IV.
In the Snow Factory.
our snow factory," said the Queen
pointing to the hill.
Peggy looked up and down and all
around, but not a sign of a factory
could she see. Queen Crystal, how
ever, walked up to the side of the
hill and rapped smartly upon it. In
stantly a large door opened before
them, revealing a great hall in which
thousands of Frigids were at work.
The hill was like a huge beehive,
only instead of making honey the
frigids were busy turning Kain
Drops into Snow Elves,
They did this in a very simple
way. As the Rain Drops fell into
hoppers, the Frigids blew upon
them. The cold blast instantly
puffed the Rain Drops out into Snow
Elves. The Snow Elves were then
carried out and packed away in
scores of monster cloud storehouses.
These storehouses were so arranged
thatxthey could be floated away like
ships to allow the Snow Elves to fall
wherever they were needed.
An important-looking Frigid,
whom Queen Crystal addressed as
Freezer, was bossing the job.
"We're rushing as fast as we can
to get enough Snow Elves ready to
cover the wheat fields before Zero
freezes them up or Blooey and
Blizzy send a.blizard sweeping over
them," he explained.
Queen Crystal turned to a large
periscope and motioned Peggy to
look into it with her. Teggy gave
a gasp of surprise. There were miles
and miles of green fields as far as
could be seen.
"iney are tne wheat fields of the
earth," explained Queen Crystal,
".ou know the wheat is sowed in the
fall, and the plants get a good start
before winter comes. Then we cover
the plants snugly with Snow Elves
to keep them from being destroyed
by Zero -or Blooey and Blizzy. In
the spring the Snow Elves turn back ,
into Rain Drops and nourish the
plants, givmg them a fine start to
ward the summer harvest."
"Oh, now I understand," ex
claimed Peggy, who hadn't before
realized how much use the snow was
to the earth. i
Even as she looked, the falling
Snow Elves covered the fields with
a white blanket that grew thicker
and thicker.
"How lovely," Peggy cried. "I
never knew before that the Snow
Elves were man's friends." '
"To be sure they are," exclaimed
Queen Crystal. .."If the Snow Elves
were allowed to fall where we send
them, they would. always do good
and never cause harm. But Blooey
and Blizzy will not allow that. Just
when we get everything working
just ngm, tney orean out of their
dungeon and turn things topsy-turvy
in a mad spree. They empty our
cioud storenouses, tney send the
Snow Elves whirling helplessly here
there and everywhere. They pile
up huge drifts in tlie roads, they
stop trains, they bury travelers, they
treeze any one they can trap abroad.
Oh, Blooey and Blizzy are terrible
monsters when they get to eoing.
and they always start when they
can do tne most Harm. Look down
again."
Y5
I
Queen Crystal turned toa large
Periscope.
P Peggy gazed once more. Now
she saw a scene much different from
the lonesome white fields. She saw
loaded trains hurryinsr back and
forth, some bearing food, some war
supplies, some 'merchandise, some
coal, some soldiers and sailors. She
saw great trucks bearing bur-dens
along the highways. She saw mighty
ships receiving their cargoes of men
and goods. It was an intensely
active scene, and the sight of it
made her glad, for it meant that
the nation was busy and prosperous.
"Nobr look herel" said Queen
Crystal, turning the periscope. It
revealed the Giants Blooey and
Blizzy in their dungeons. They had
finished their game of checkers, and
Blooey was stretching himself.
"How I like to see the Snow Elves
dance," he yawned. "Let's start a
blizzard!"
"Good," said Blizzy, opening a
trap door that revealed the earth be
neath them. "Look how busy every
thing is. It will be rare sport to
tie up all those trains I"
"Ho, ho," roared Blooey. "We'll
show those humans how helpless
they are when we get going. I feel
like a rampage."

to!" tinkled Queen Crystal, turning

ease is breaking out anew in iti
very worst form from practically
one end of the country to the other.
Already there have been over 300,
000 deaths from the disease and
one prominent health official pre
dicts that there will possibly be
750,000 deaths in this country next
year from Influenza and the ail-
ments which follow it. The disease
has been Very baffling to the med
ical profession and health authori
ties frankly admit that ordinary
preventive measures such as wear
ing of masks and closing public
places seem of little avail.
Persons who are weak and run-
down, and who have not th
strength to throw off the Influenza
perm, are the earliest victims.'
Those who catch colds easily or who
are suffering from catarrhal trou
bles are alsq early victims, as the ,
inflamed mucous membrane linings
of the nose and throat are an open
door to the germs. ' If you are suf
ferig from any of these symptoms, .
nothing will build you up and for
tify your system against attack like
Tanlac, which contains the most
powerful tonic properties known
to science. This statement is eas
ily proven by the fact that this cel
ebrated medicine is now having the
greatest sale of any system tonic in
the histosy of medicine. It has
been accomplishing remarkable re
sults during the present epidemic
and hundreds of thousands who
have usedi it are enjoying the best
of health. One prominent physician
in Texas frankly stated that he had
found Tanlac to -be the finest tonic
to be had for building up his pa
tients who had had Influenza.
Actual experience has shown that
the best way to keep from taking
Influenza is to keep the system in
good shape, as it is a well known
fact that the powers of resistance
of the human system can be so ner-
fected that it can throw off almost
any infection, not. even excepting
Spanish Influenza, which is one of
the most contagious diseases known.
Tanlac increases your-Btreneth
and weight and creates a good,
healthy appetite for nourishing
food. It keeps you physicaly fit
and makes you strong, vigorous and
well, and in this way fortifies you
against deadly disease germs. In
connection with the Tanlac treat
ment, be sure to keep th bowels
open by taking Tanlac Laxative
Tablets. -r

BABY WOULD
CRY AND SCREAM
With Pimples On Head,
Cuticura Healed,
"My baby broke out in small red
pimples, when two weeks old. The
pimples first began on her bead, and
finally got on her entire body, and
spread into large sore eruptions that
formed a bard scale. They itched and
burned so sleep was impossible, and
she would cry and scream.
I was told she could not be healed.
but I got the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I just used two cakes of Soap
and one box of Ointment and she is
healed." (Signed) Mrs. M. F. Hinds,
South West Cky, Mo., Dec29, 1917.
It is easier to prevent skin troubles
than to heal them. Clear the pores and
keep them clear by using Cuticura Soap
for every -day tjilet purposes and
touches of Ointment as needed.
