6The C

By Wm. J. Burns "The Lawtons spent three weeks there at the time you designated, ana Mr. Hamilton went out each week-end, from Friday to Monday, as you can see here, and here. They had no other visitors and kept much to themI selves." Blaine scanned the papers rapidly, pausing here and there to scrutinize more closely a signature which appeared to interest him. At length he pushed them aside with a dissatisfied frown, as if he had been looking for something which he had failed to find. "Anything suspicious about the guests who arrived during the Lawtons' stay?" he asked. "Was there any incident in connection with them worth of note which the proprietor could recall?" "No, sir, but I found some of the employes and talked to them. The hotel Is closed now for the winter, of course, but two or three of the waiters and bell-boys live in the neighborhood. A summer resort Is a hot-bed of gossip, as you know, sir, and since Mr. Lawton's sudden death the servants have been comparing notes of his visit there two years ago. I found the waiter who served them, and two bell-boys, and they each had a curious incident to tell me in connection with the Lawtons. The stories would have held no bigniflcance if It weren't for the fact that they all happened to concern one person a man who arrived on the eighth of August. This man here." Suraci ran his finger down the reg ister page until he came to one name, where he stopped abruptly. "Albert Addison, Baltimore, Maryland," read Blaine. Then, with a sudden exclamation he bent closer over the paper. A prolonged scrutiny ensued while Suraci watched him curiously. Reaching into a drawer, the : Master Detective drew out a powerful ! magnifying glass and examined each stroke of the pen with minute care. At length he swung about in his chair and pressed the electric button on the corner of the desk. When his secretary aDoeared in response to the sum mons, Blaine said: "Ask the filing clerk to look in the drawer marked 'P. 1904 and bring me the check drawn on the First National bank 6igr.ed Paddington." While the secretary was fulfilling his task the two waited In silence, but with the check before him Henry Blaine gave it one keen, comparing glance, then turned to the operative. "Well, Suraci, what did you learn from the hotel employes? "One of the bell-boys told me that this man, Addison, arrived with only a bag, announcing that his luggage would be along later and that he an Copyright, 1316, by the McClure Mrs. Mouse was worried; she had five little children, and she knew from things she heard and saw that the family with whom she had been living for some time were going to move. "What in the world shall we do?" she said to her husband one night. "1 am sure the family is going to move for everything is packed up, and the pantry Is almost bare. Why I could not find a bit of cheese, only some cookies and cake had been left out." "Why can't we move with them," eaid Mr. Mouse. "I see no reason why we should run the risk of living with a family we do not like, not knowing who will move in here. "For my part I am quite satisfied with this family. The cook is very careless, she never puts the cover on the cheese Jar, and the cake box Is never tightly closed, the crumbs are never brushed off the shelf at night; and, in fact, where would we find a better home, I should like to know. Yes, my dear, I think we better move along with them." "I think you -are right, my dear, said his wife, "but how shall we manage to hide eo they will not find us?" "I would suggest crawling into some box trunk that is filled with soft blankets or clothes; there we would be safe from the knocks and bangs which those moving men give, and we could be warm at the saue time," said Mr. Mouse. "1 will run right away this very nlpht and find such a hiding place," said Mrs. Mouse. "Now you better try to find some bits of bread or something we can take along to eat, for we may have to stay in our moving Quarters over night." So after tucking the five little ones in their beds, Mr. and Mrs. Mouse started out to arrange for their moving. "I have found the very place," said Mrs. Mouse a little later, "and I think we better crawl In this very night. Tomorrow may be too late." They took the sleepy little mice, who did not even wake up to see where they were going, and soon the whole family, were safe in a big box under something very soft and warm. The next day they had to keep very still, for something more was put in the box and then a paper tied over Jl, uuu ttnajr luejr vvcui m iuc muviiig team.

and Isabel Ostrander ticipated remaining a week or more. This boy noticed him particularly because he scanned the hotel register before writing his own name, and insisted upon having one of two special suites; number seventy-two or seventy-six. Seventy-four, the suite between was occupied by Mr. Lawton. They were both engaged, so he was forced to be content with number seventythree, just across the hall. The boy noticed that although the new arrival did not approach Mr. Lawton or his daughter, he hung about in their immediate vicinity all day and appeared to be watching them furtively.

Mrs. Mouse, when she found they were safely on their journey, thought she would look about a bit, so she crawled out and pokeu her nose around the box, and when she did she touched something that made her heart stand still. Her nose touched fur, and there was only one kind of fur to Mrs. Mouse. She was in a box with a cat, and all her children, too. Very, very carefully she crawled back to her family and told Mr. Mouse what she had discovered. "Our lives are not worth one more breath," she said. "Why, that cat is right next to us." Mr. Mouse was pretty well scared, but he didn't want his wife to know it, so he said he guessed she was mistaken and he would see for himself. Mrs. Mouse held on to him, but he was bound to go and she was afraid the cat might hear them if she made a fuss, so poor Mrs. Mouse held her breath and waited. "It is all right, my dear," said Mr. Mouse, coming back in a few minutes, which seemed like so many hours to his wife. "It gave me a terrible scare for a minute, but she can't hurt us; that cat is stuffed, and the funniest thing is her stomach. Why, it is lined with something soft and smooth I think we better move the children up there and eat our supper." Mrs. Mouse did not think much of her husband's plan, but after he had coaxed her to come with him and saw for herself how smooth and soft the place was she took" the children and went along. Then they ate their supper and went to sleep, and Mrs. Mouse dreamed all night of a terrible cat that had swallowed all her family and awoke in such a fright that Mr. Mouse had to get up and help move the family out. "They will open this box in the morning, anyway," said his wife, "and we might be found, and no knowing what would happen to the children; besides that, I cannot be comfortable In the stomach of a cat even if she is stuffed." When her children were safely out, Mrs. Mouse said she was going to hide where she could see that cat when it was taken from the box, and Mr. Mouse said he was interested, too. By and by the unpacking began, and Mrs. Mouse and Mr. Mouse peeking from behind a box saw a bis muff taken from the box, and heard someone say: "I do believe we brought a family of mice with us, for here are crumbs in my muff." - "It certainly had every appearance of a cat," said Mrs. Mouse. "It did, my dear; it fooled even me," said Mr. Mouse, as they scampered away to their children. Tomorrow's Story "Sleepy Sam and the Skeezick" Part 1.

went into the writing room to attend to some - correspondence. The boy, passing through the room on an errand saw him stop in the middle of a page, frown, and tearing the paper across, throw it in the waste-basket. Glancing about inadvertently, the bellboy saw Addison seated near by, staring at Mr. Lawton from behind a newspaper which he held in front of his face as if pretending to read. The boy's curiosity was aroused by the eager, hungry expectant look on the stranger's face and he made up his mind to hang around, too, and see what he is doing.

"I'm so 6orry to have missed the solo: she effused, sipping the California claret punch. "But we've a new chauffeur, and I'm just a little nervous I won't let him drive fast." "Yes, I'm always nervous with a new driver," exclaimed Mrs. Osborn, anxious to announce that she, too, had a car. "We've had Parker three years and I don't know what we'd do if he were to leave." - "Well, a new chauffeur isn't as bad as a new cook," ..laughed Mrs. Ford. "I got a new cook yesterday and had a dinner party last night! But we've ,had our waitress so long-I depend so much upon; her," adroitly heralding the, fact : that she kept two servants, "t "It we. could only get English servants over here," sighed Mrs. .' Hilliard. "When we were in London, I tried to bring back one of the hotel maids, but she was afraid to cross," contriving to let them know she had been abroad. Helen had no car and only one servant, but she had been abroad twice and had brought back" some bid English furniture. She must say something to keep up her end with those women. ' How could she drag 'it in? "Yes, the English know how to train their servants and they've such attractive homes," she floundered. "I'm particularly enthusiastic about the old English furniture. The last time we were over, we brought back the most interesting old Sheraton " "Oh, you're not leaving so early?" Mrs. Hilliard abruptly broke away to speed a departing guest. "We brought back the most attractive old Sheraton bookcase," persisted Helen to the remaining group, who looked neither interested nor impressed. "Well, I hope you didn't have as much trouble getting it over as we did with some things we brought from Italy," Mrs. Everett fairly snatched at this chance. "You know those fine Italian pieces are so heavy it cost us a small fortune to get them over." "We've persuaded Mr. Fleming to favor us with another selection," announced Mrs. Hilliard, with just the right note of anticipated pleasure. A melancholy-looking artist, with temperamental hair and tie, now seated himself at the piano, gazed mournfully at the ceiling, struck a few syncopated chords, and in r a languishing tenor rendered "To Thee My Love." Fixing a smile of appreciation, Helen took a rapid inventory of the rooms and furnishings. The things were expensive, but rather garish. There were too many draperies and too much bric-a-brac. "Oh, how exquisite! How soulful! What technique!" were the murmued comments, as with a final harassed note Mr. Flemming rose from the piano and bowed his . acknowledgement to the ripple of applause. "Such a flexible voice," breathed a stout expensively gowned woman be side Helen. "So colorful!" "Oh, yes very," Helen stammered, trying vainly to recall some of the glib meaningless phrases she had red in musical criticisms. A. general breaking up movement was now in progress. "Oh, must you go? It was so nice of you to come! I'm so glad you enjoyed it," cooed Mrs. Hilliard, as each guest, passing out, effused her compliments of the afternoon. (More Tomorrow.)

two A happy smile lighted the little stenographer's ' face.' She was sure that Somerdyke . would now introduce her to his . aristocratic . companion. With her self-congratulation was mingled no doubt lest she might not be able to meet this other woman on grounds of perfect equality of breeding and intellect. "Oh good morning ! " she exclaimed eagerly. " Harry Somerdyke looked annoyed. "Good morning," he muttered coldly. He raised his hat silently, then, touching his companion's arm .as she hesitated, he walked on with her. Caryl looked . after him, the smile of anticipation dying from her face: Presently she spoke softly; slowly and incredulously. "He , cut me!" she said. "He- cut me dead. He was ashamed to have her think he knew me." Then she remembered that the "girl had been smiling when they met, and her imagination turned what had been innocent amusement at some remark the man had been making into a sneer at herself and her cheap costume. "She's a hateful, proud thing!" she muttered. - '.'And so is . he. I hate him!" She clenched in her hand the letter she was carrying and the noise of crackling paper started a new- train of thought. Carefully she opened the crumpled sheet and re-read Ben Hadley's flippant invitation for the evening. When she had finished the perusal her decision was made. "I'm going tonight!" she declared vindictively. "I'll show Harry. Somerdyke that there are just as good fish in the sea as have ever been caught. If he doesn't think enough of me to speak' to me on the street when he's with another girl I know someone who does. Thank goodness there's, one man who appreciates me1 and doesn't treat me indifferently just because I'm poor! I don't care whether Judy likes it or not I'm going tonight and that's all there is about it. My mind is made up at last!"

bisters ' end of the wire. "This is Mr. Hadley. What is it? Oh, yes, Miss Marvin! What's the good word?" "I shall be very glad to go with you this evening, Mr. Hadley,- announced Caryl tremulously. "That sounds mighty good to me," the man said. "When and how shall I meet you?- Likewise where shall we go?". "Why," stammered the girl, "I think I'll leave that to you where we shall go, I mean. As for meeting me," she hesitated for a second, thinking rapidly. It would be just and fitting to meet this man in the very same hotel in which Harry Somerdyke had flouted her the other day, when he had another girl with him. "I'll be right inside of the downtown entrance to the Waldorf at whatever time you say," she suggested. "But why not leave me call for you at your house?" Hadley protested. "I don't like you to come all that way by yourself." . "It isn't such a long way' Caryl affirmed quickly, "and I would rather meet you there." "Your humble servant obeys -your slightest wish," Hadley rejoined. "Let it be the Waldorf, then, at 6:30, if that suits you. You are many sweet things for consentiLg to go with me, but I would rather tell you of them face to face. May I when I see you?" "You aren't dumb, are you, Mr. Hadley?" parried Caryl, and smiled as she heard his laugh. "I shall count the minutes until half pa6t six," he told her. "Until then, good-by ! " UfljQ

MOTOR CAK A Year's Growth in Good Will A year ago this time Dodge Brothers enjoyed an enviable reputation as manufacturers of a very large volume of motor car parts. This reputation aroused extraordinary expectations on the part of the public, when it was announced that they would build a motor car. Thousands of dealers were eager to represent them. Thousands of orders were placed by individual buyers. But as manufacturers of motor cars Dodge Brothers were still on trial at the bar of public opinion. The car as a car was an unknown quantity. In January, 1 91 5, a few of the cars began to be shipped from the factory; and a few individual good opinions began to be formed. The growth of this volume of good opinion was in the exact ratio, at first, to the growth of the volume of production. But not many weeks had passed before the reputation of the car outstripped the capacity to produce. The good news of its performance traveled faster than the supply in sixty days time there was a waiting list in all parts of the country. Substantially the same state of affairs has existed ever since, and exists today, in spite of largely increased production. There is a very pronounced and definite public opinion now in this country concerning Dodge Brothers car. Nearly every man or woman you meet has a clear-cut idea of the kind of a car it is. How friendly and how favorable that idea is you probably know so well that it is not necessary to go into details. In twelve months time, the American people have bought more than thirty-five million dollars worth of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars. This is a notable record for one year even in an industry which has been marked by many amazing achievements. For a first year, it stands absolutely unique and alone. But the sales growth, to our way of thinking, is as nothing in importance, compared to the growth of a very favorable public opinion concerning the merits of the car. This phase of the years work is very gratifying to Dodge Brothers and to their representatives everywhere. It goes without saying that Dodge Brothers will never do anything, or permit anything to be done which might jeopardize the standing of the car with the American public.

Elation, gratified vanity and anticipatory pleasure made her heart beat fast Whatever misgivings she might have had were quickly subdued by thoughts of what the evening held in store for her. She was too much excited to think of eating, but, stopping at a confectioner's, drank a glass of Iced milk. Then she started toward home to set about the serious problem of getting dressed for dinner. But suddenly she paused. What had she that was fit to wear? She remembered with a throb of joy that she had in her purse a large part of her week's salary. Some of it was to go for room rert, 'but Julia could pay that and Caryl would settle for her share next week. Her. resolutions were quickly made, and she turned her steps toward a department store. When she emerged from this fifteen minutes later she carried a parcel containing a flimsy, low-necked pink silk waist, elaborately trimmed with rather coarse lace, and a little black net hat,- "just the thing for evening wear," the saleswoman had told her. It had been, this saleswoman affirmed, a high-priced hat, but was "marked . down." at the close of the season. "But, although it was made for the summer trade, it is a perfect dress hat and will do for weeks to come," said the woman. And Caryl, thinking of the effect she would produce in this same hat, smiled and almost forgot Somerdyke's rebuff." (More Tomorrow.) Phone 2328
