SAYS RELIEF WORK OF FRIENDS WINNING i LOVE OF GERMANY

"You have made Germany safe to America for the next 100 years," declared Frederick J. Llbby, publicity secretary of the American Friends Service committee, before Indiana Yearly meeting Tuesday afternoonMr. Libby was telling of the relief work accomplished in Europe by the Friends. "Forty Quakers hare shaken all Germany. They have lived your princi

ples without a creed. ' You don't need a creed when you are living Jesus Christ. Germany loves America for what the Friends have done for her. Because of America's service she will stand ready to willing listen to whatever Secretary of State Hughes, may say. This morning,, 4,500 babies drank milk you helped to buy. Nine-tenths of the population of Vienna, goes hungry and cold all the time. Not only the common workman, but also the doctors, clergy, teachers and city officials. "In Poland, is the devastated area. Where everything was destroyed for fear others would get it, that's devastation. When Polish farmers got back to their homes after fleeing to Russia, they found nothing but weeds standing on the ruins of their homes. They dug holes in hills and lived there. There they froze last winter. "Then finally there's Russia. She will be worse this winter than ever before. There is a great area in which there are six and one-half million children where there is no food for this winter. It is this condition that touched Herbert Hoover to forget the bolshevists and decide to take his relief into Russia. I believe if we can stay long enough we can bring faith and hope and love to that country."

PART THREE I The heath was covered with golden patches of flowering gorse, gleaming magnificently in the light of the bright spring sunshine. Behind one of these clumps I took up my position, so as to command both the gateway of the Hall and a long stretch of the road upon .either side. It had beea deserted when I left it, but now I saw a cyclist riding down it from the opposite direc

tion to that in which I had come. He was clad in a dark suit, and I saw that he had a black beard. On reaching the end of the Charlington grounds, he sprang from his machine and led it through a gap in the hedge, disappearing from my view, A quarter of an hour passed, and then a second cyclist appeared. This time it was the young lady coming from the station. I saw her look about her as she came to the Charlington hedge. An instant later the man emerged from his hiding-place, sprang upon his cycle, and followed her. In all the broad landscape those were the only moving figures, the graceful girl

sitting very straight upon her machine, and the man behind her bending low over his handle-bar with a curiosly furtive suggestion in every movement. She looked back at him and slowed her pace. He slowed also. She stopped. He at once stopped, too, keeping two hundred yards behind her. Her next movement was as unexpected as it was spirited. She suddenly whisked her wheels round and dashed straight at him. He was as quick as she, however, and darted off in desperate flight. Presently she came back up the road again, her head haughtily in the air, not deigning to take any further notice of her silent attendant. He had turned also, and still kept his distance until the curve of the road hid them from my sight I remained in my hiding-place, and it was well that I did so, for presently the man reappeared, cycling slowly back. He-turned in at the H1I gates,

and dismounted from his machine. For some minutes I could Rfn him

standing among the trees. His hands

were ralsedi and he seemed to be settling his necktie. Then he mounted his cycle, and rode awav from m

down the drive towards the Hall. I

ran across the heath and peered through the trees. Far away I could catch glimpses of the old gray building with its bristling Tudor chimneys, but the drive ran through a dense shrubbery, and I saw no more of my man. However, it seemed to me that I had done a fairly good .morning's work, and I walked back in high spirits to Farnham. The local house agent could tell me nothing about Charlington Hall, and referred me to a well-known firm in Pall Mall. There I halted on my way home, and met with courtesy from the representative. No, I could not have Charlington Hall for the summer. I was Just too late. It had been let about a month ago. Mr, Williamson was the name of th tenant Wa wa

a respectable, elderly gentleman. The

pome agent was arraid he could say no more, as the affairs of his clients were not matters which he could discuss. Mr. Sherlock Holmes listened with attention to the long report which I was able to present to him that evening, but it did not elicit that word of curt nraise which I had honed for

and should have valued. On the contrary, his austere face was even more

severe tnan usual as ne commented upon the things that I had done and the things that I had not. "Your hiding-place, my dear Watson.

was very faulty. You should have

been behind the hedge, then you would

nave had a close view of this interesting person. As it is, you were some hundreds of yards away,, and can tell me even less than Miss Smith. She thinks she does not know the man; I am convinced she does. Why, otherwise, should he be so desperately

anxious that she should not get eo near him as to see his features? You describe him as bending over the handle-bar. Concealment again, you see. You really have done remarkably badly. He returns to the house, and you want to find out who he Is. You come to a Lmdon house-agent!"

"What should I have done?" I cried.

with some heat.

"Gone to the nearest public-house.

That is the centre of country gossip. They would have told you every name,

from the master to the scullery-maid.

Williamson? It conveys nothing to my

mind. If he is an elderly man he is

not this active cyclist, who sprints away from that young lady's athletic

pursuit . What have we gained by your

expedition? The knowledge that the

girl's story is true. I never doubted it. That there is a connection between

the cyclist and the Hall. I never

doubted that either. That the Hall is tenanted by Williamson. Who's the

better for that? Well, well, my dear

sir, don t look so depressed. We can do little more until next Saturday, and

in the meantime I may make one or two inquiries myself." Next morning, we had a note from Miss Smith, recounting shortly and accurately the very incidents which I had 6een, but the pith of the letter lay in the postscript: "I am sure that you will respect my confidence, Mr. Holmes, when I tell you that my place here has become difficult, owing to the fact that my employer has proposed marriage to me. I am convinced that his feelings are most deep and most honorable. At the same time, my promise is of course given. He took my refusal very seriously, but also very gently. You can understand, however, that the situation is a little strained." "Our young friend seems to be getting into deep, waters," said Holmes, thoughtfully, as he finished the letter.

"The case certainly presents more features of interest and more possi

bility of development than I had originally thought I should be none the worse for a quiet, peaceful day in the country and I am inclined to run down this afternoon and test one or two theories which I have formed." Holmes's quiet day in the country had a singular termination, for he ar

rived at Baker Street late in the eve- j ning, with a cut lip and a discolored

lump upon his forehead, besides a1 general air of dissipation which, would have made his own person the fitting object of a Scotland Yard investigation. He was Immensely tickled by his own adventures, and laughed heartily as he recounted them. "I get so little active exercise that it is always a treat," said he. "You are aware that I have some proficiency in the good old British sport of boxing. Occasionally, it is of service; today, for example, I should have come to very ignoninious grief without it." I begged him to tell me what had occurred. "I found that country pub which I had already recommended to your notice, and there I made my discreet inquiries. I was in the bar, and a garrulous landlord was giving me all that I wanted. Williamson is a whitebearded man. and he lives alone with

a small staff of servants at the Hall.!

There Is 6ome rumor that he is or

has been a clergyman, but one or two incidents of his short residence at the Hall struck me as peculiarly unecclesiastical. I have already made some inquiries at a clerical agency, and they tell me that there was a man of that name in orders, Vhose career has been

a singularly dark one. The landlord further informed me that there are usually week-end visitors a warm lot, sir' at the Hall, and especially one gentleman with a red moustache. Mr. Woodley by name, who was always there." We had got as far as that, when who should walk in but the gentleman himself, who had been drinking his beer in the tap-room and had heard the whole conversation. Who was I? What did I want? What did I mean by asking questions? He bad a fine flow of language, and his adjectives were very vigorous. He ended a string of abuse by a vicious backhander,

which I failed to entirely avoid. The next few minutes were delicious. It was a straight left against a slogging ruffian. I emerged as you see me. Mr. Woodley went home in a cart. So ended ray country trip, and it must be confessed that, however enjoyable, my day on the Surrey border has not been much more profitable than your own."

Would He Think This Economy? Would your husband think he was saving money by doing the baking after office hours? Not ! much! He knows the value of specialization and of leisure and recreation. He would know he was losing time, nervous force, brain power and he would soon see he was not saving any money, as well. Home-baking saves you not one cent, and its cost of time, patience and worry is tremendous. You can get better bread at your grocer's- by saying "BETSY , ROSS." j Better Bread Isn't Baked than ':
