WNU Service, Chapter IX ——ls—- — Takes Charge. Despite Stanley’s advice and the dawn that peered at him as he went to bed, Renshaw was up at seven the next morning. He had not slept well. He had tried to sleep, knowing that । i the coming day might be a strenuous | one. But his thoughts whirled like ' leaves in an autumn blast. Though connected mental effort was Impossl- | ble, he could not cease thinking. In the fitful naps to which his exhaustion finally succumbed, his dreams were ns ! unrestful as his thoughts. He was wandering through dark labyrinths. He was laboriously ascending desolate mountain paths. He was lost and conj fused in crowds. And never once did he have a definite objective. That | realization, when he took it in upon awakening, disturbed him most of till. Not even his subconscious processes, he told himself, were yet normal. He felt better after a cold plunge, and when he entered the dining room | he showed no outward effects of the i strain of the night. Both Jenks and i Janies were in the room, standing by ; the sideboard and talking in low tones. I Renshaw had detoured to the left wing ।on his way down stairs, and had : tapped at the door to ask news of the । patient, receiving from the nurse the । stock report of the average sick room: j the patient was “resting comfortably." He returned the respectful greetI Ings of the two servants, and apI proached with zest the adventure of * examining the hot dishes on the sideboard. While he was helping himself , to omelet and bacon, the two physt- | clans bustled Into the dining room. I They were obviously in exuberant I spirits. Morris, indeed, wore the upI lifted look of a modest man honored | beyond his deserts, and Stanley was ! vain enough to be pleased as well as । mildly amused by the awe with which i his country colleague regarded him. | Both greeted the secretary with cor- ‘ diallty, into which Stanley now Infused something of the personal Interest due to a protege. They filled ! their plates like hungry schoolboys. “Campbell’s going to be all right," ! Stanley predicted, in response to Ren- ! shaw’s first question, as he returned Ito the table and sat down. “Can't i kill that old boy. He's determined to I sing hymns at my funeral. By the I way, it was only for a few seconds that he recovered consciousness, I think you said?’’ “Yes. just about that," Renshaw answered. “He seemed very anxious to say something, and finally he brought ft out.” “Just what was it, again?” “He instructed me In three words to take charge here." Renshaw was glad to have this point j developed, and especially in the presence of the two servants. That there might be no mistake about the matl ter, he clinched his case by adding j casually, "Miss Campbell ami I were [ alone with him at the time.” “Is that all he said?’’ Stanley, who ; had stopped eating for a moment, fell i zestfully upon some sausages. “He had very hard work to bring i that out. He drifted off again as soon ■ as my reply showed that I understood. ; The effort had exhausted him.’’ “H'm-m. Well, that’s all right.” Just what was all right Stanley did not specify. Probably it was the sausages. “I’m going back to town this morn- ; Ing,” he added in another tone. “This i pneumonia epidemic is keeping me i uncomfortably busy. But I’ll run out again tomorrow afternoon, anyway—and of course if there’s any change I’ll come at once. Meantime Doctor Morris will be right here on the job. We’ve decided that he’d better make Tawno Ker his headquarters for a day or so, till we’re sure the patient is on the mend. We don’t want to take any chances. I suppose you can make him comfortable?” “Os course. It will be a great relief to have him here.*’ Renshaw spoke with unusual heartiness. It would be good to have the simple but agreeable personality of Morris in the house, and in more ways than one. After breakfast he went with Jenks to the left wing to look over Morris’ quarters and to assure himself the comfort he had promised was available. “Jenks," he said, after being satisfied about that, “I wish you would give , me an idea of the domestic routine i here. Who, for example, orders the meals?” “Miss Campbell, sir. She writes the i ; menus for the day every morning, and gives them to me.” “You do the ordering and marketing?” I “Yes, sir, mostly by telephone. We have a large store room, well supplied, and a hamper comes from New York once a week.” “It’s odd the ladies don't have a personal maid." Renshaw was speaking more to himself than to the servant. “It does seem odd, sir.” Jenks acquiesced. “But Mrs. Pardee can’t get on with one, sir, and Miss Verity won't have one alone, down here in the counI try. She says it Isn’t worth while. The i foreign lady,"—for some reason Jenks | steadfastly refused to force his tongue ’ to a contest with the name of HvoesI lef—“she has a nurse for the little girl; a sour creature she is, too, sir; and she don’t speak a word of English. I But she runs in and out of Madame’s

room a good deal and helps her to dress for dinner.” Renshaw checked these personal revelations. “So We-wee belongs to Madame , Hvoeslef?” he mused. “Miss Wanda? Yes, sir. She appears to be her grandchild.” , “The halls and bedrooms are looked after by Annie?” Renshaw had returned to practical details. “Yes, sir." Jenks hesitated, then made his plunge with an almost perceptible gulp of distaste: "Anything , you wish changed, sir?” , “Certainly not. I merely want to get a clear idea of the routine and working force. There’s no one else that I haven’t seen or heard of?” “No one but the cook. sir. She’s Jane Dawkins—an Englishwoman." "I thought the cook was English, from the breakfasts. They’re all right, too,” Renshaw hastened to add, recalling the ample justice he had done to the three he had eaten. Jenks was looking relieved. "There’s another young person in the kitchen, sir,” he remembered. “She washes dishes and assists the cook. She’s what we’d call a scullery maid in England, sir. Her name," be added thoughtfully, “Is Violet." "She’s a modem Violet; I didn’t even know of her existence." Renshaw spoke absently. His mind was on Jenks’ penultimate sentence. "So you're English, too?” "I was born in England, sir; but Ive been in America a good many ' years.” The manner of Jenks re- ’ turned to normal. “Any orders, sir?” “None whatever." Jenks faded away, and Renshaw descended to the lower floor and turned toward the study. The duty nearest his hand was to open the ; morning mail and reply to that part of It which required attention. Also, he desired to have a private talk with Stanley before he left. But, Instead of doing thtw* things. ' he equipped himself with a coat nnd ; cap in the convenient hall closet nnd ' strolled out of the house. He would | smoke an after-breakfast cigar first of all. He joined Stanley just as that gentleman was stepping Into his car. "Suppose you send the machine j down to the road and let me walk to I the gate with you,” Renshaw sug- ' I gested. “There are one or two thiugs I'd like to ask you about.” “All right. 1 wondered where you were.” The physician motioned to his chauffeur, and the cur went un ahead of them. ’’The first tiling I want to ask,” said Renshaw, going straight to his point us the two walked down the long driveway, “is what you meant hy j j warning me that there was an un- ! ' usual condition of things at Tawno Ker. Now that I'm in charge here, and the owner is helpless, I think I ought to know what those conditions are—especially as they may have had something to do with Campbell's stroke.” Stanley shook his head. “Not a bit of It," lie said brusquely. "Besides, they’re all over now; nnd they didn’t amount to much in the first place, except to one person.” “May I ask what they were?” “Os course. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t know. Campbell himself would have told you, no doubt, in a day or two. I suppose he had promised Madame Hvoeslef—that isn’t her name, by the way—to say nothing until the material was safe with the Trust company. She’s the mysterymaker, you, know*; and she has oozed mystery from the moment she entered the house.” “I’ve noticed that.” “Os course you have. Who could help noticing it? Well, what it all means is simply this: Madame Hvoeslef, as she chooses to call herself just now, is a very great personage in her native land, and her husband was a very great man there. He spent the last years of his life writing his memoirs. Those memoirs are very intimate and personal. They concern history and thrones and wearers of crowns. And the author’s august master, shaking on his own tottering throne, didn’t want them published. When the author died, the widow’ was offered a fortune for the manuscript. She refused the fortune, knowing it meant that the manuscript would be destroyed, and that her husband’s

Queen Victoria’s Rule Over Royal Household

Princess Catherine Radziwlll in a book, “Those I Remember,” tells many stories of royalty. Queen Victoria, says the princess, “was a martinet politically as well as socially. . . . The prince of Wales (King Edward) especially stood In awe of bls parent, and when almost an old man himself he hardly ever opened his mouth in her presence. “Her eldest daughter, the late Empress Frederick of Germany, used to say that whenever she was summoned to the queen’s presence she first asked for a glass of water so as to conquer her emotion.” Queen Victoria, adds the princess, never appeared at state concerts or halls, but sometimes she would condescend to show herself at a garden party given by the prince and princess of Wales at Marlborough house.

greatest wish was to have It published. Then efforts were made to steal it—rather desperate efforts, from all I’ve heard. To save the material she tied with it to this country, in disguise and under an assumed name.” “Humph!” observed Renshaw without enthusiasm. "She was traced to New York by agents of the august master," Stanley went on placidly. "According to her story and evident conviction, their orders were to get that manuscript and all those invaluable historic letters and documents nt any cost. Her very life was in danger. In fact, two attempts were made on it in Europe. She knew Verity Campbell, so when she arrived Verity went to New York and brought her and her grandchild nnd the nurse buck here In the dead of night. “Since then, Madame Hvoeslef claims, several queer-looking foreigners have been lurking around Tawno Ker, All the men servants have been warned and put on guard against trouble. When Madame Hvoeslef continued to see and hear things outside the house every night—faces at the windows ami figures In the trees, and all that stuff—the strain on the family nerves became too great. I persuaded Campbell to get her to send the material to the Trust company, and we chose you for the job because no one would think you would be our choice.” No one would think he would be their choice! Renshaw took this tn silence and digested it, but it did not disturb him. “A big publishing firm Is buying the world rights to the stuff for fifty thousand dollars," Stanley went on. “The contract is to be signed in a few days. It’s a mighty good thing for the charming Madame Hvoeslef. since it’s all she has left. She belonged to the reigning family, and her uprising countrymen have recently confiscated her estates. She enn go to France or Switzerland now. and live on the income of her fifty thousand." They had reached the store gntewnv, where the limousine was waiting. The old doctor held out his hand. "But.” Renshaw objected, as he took it. “all this being so. It doesn't explain In the least the things I’ve noticed.” “What have you noticed?” Stanley asked the question over Ids shoulder, with a foot on the running-board of the car. It was not a moment for confidences, even If Renshaw had Intended to make them. However, be would see what else he could draw out. "Oh. odd noises and lights, and that sort of thing," he said carelessly. "But Inside the house —not outside. Am! 1 understood from Mr. Campbell that everything Inside the house was all right." Staniey entered the enr nnd shrugged himself into the big fur lined overcoat that lay waiting for him on the back sent. "The servants." he explained. “I told you they were on the watch. They didn’t know w hat for. of course. They were just ordered to teep their eyes open and their mouths shut. But you can Imagine how skillful they’d be In pussy-footing around - every man fancying himself an amateur detective. Probably they've been trying to arrest one another.” lie ended, with a chuckle. R. .show had one more question: "Is that till you know —and all that you and Mr. Campbell meant by w hut \ou said?” “Absolutely all. It’s enough, too. You don’t find a lost princess guarding historic memoirs every day. Where's jour imagination? Madame Hvoeslef Is a very great lady, and that baby I hear you’ve fallen in love wit. .s royttl blood in her veins. No one else took the thing as hard as Madame Hvoeslef did, of course,” he went on more thoughtfully, “but no one can blame her for being melodramatic. She has lost her country, her family, her fortune, and ail but lost her life over those memoirs. They are vital to her, wh 'ever they may seem to the rest of us. Nowrm off. ’ e nurse will telephone me twice a day. and Morris has a lot of sense. Good-by.” (TO BE COXTINTED ) People Today Longer Lived The English races are healthier and longer-lived than famous ancient peoples, such as the Egyptians and Romans, says the New York World. And American descendants of European parents are, on the average, bigger and taller than their fathers and mothers, according to Dr. F. C. Shrubsail. Stature and weight today, he said, are not less than in the days of Agincourt or Waterloo. Modern civilized man is decidedly not deteriorating. Our expectation of life is far greater than ever before. The fossilized bones of the earliest human beings indicate that our most ancient ancestors seldom lived beyond the early adult stage. Mummy cases in Egypt show that an Egyptian child of five years might expect to live to be only thirtyfive. A five-year-old child of Rome under the Caesars could expect a life of only tw’enty-nine years. But a child of five living in present-day London or New York can expect to live to be at least sixty-four years old.

She used to arrive late and was driven round the grounds in a little pony carriage, beside which her children dutifully walked, talking with her the whole of the time, for Queen Victoria was not above a bit of gossip, and liked from time to time to be told the news of the day, especially If it dealt with the marriage of somebody she knew or the love affairs of some one she had met. Here is a Mystery In passing through a Suharo forest we note that the older plants are dotted with woodpecker holes, and yet few woodpeckers are to be seen, says Nature Magazine. Some of these holei may have been made a century ago, for this castus protects itself from infection by forming a hard and imperviou* callous around these nests.

STRIKING FEATURES OF NEW STAR COUPSTER r 1 11 " $ m ^1 i Flexible door windows that may be lowered or raised like pullman car 1 curtains and that disappear within the top of the body when raised are a striking feature of the new Star coupster. । In reality the coupster is a convertible car, affording all the comforts of , closed car transportation, yet convertible into an open car by the simple expedient of raising two disappearing windows —a five-second operation. For all practical purposes It Is two cars in one. ’ i

EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY OF CARS Numerous Devices Add to Comfort and Satisfaction of Owner. It Is difficult to believe that the oil pressure gauges and he ampere-me-ters which now appear on the Instrument boards of virtually all makes of cars were once regarded by many as unnecessary frills. Today there are a number of accessories being offered ' which are similarly regarded, which is ' the same as saying that they would be appreciated If only their advantages were better known. Ry equipping a car with some of these fitments, greater satisfaction, efficiency and safety will result. Add front and rear bumpers to the car, at- » tach one of the many rear signaling devices, keep a set of anti skid chains ■ handy and the car will be enormously benefited !n proportion to the cost of the protection. Frequently such safety devices add to the car’s appearance ■ and thus not only help protect the owner’s original Investment, but add to it. A spotlight attached to the , windshield and played upon the road maj- prevent wrecking the car in a ditch. Take efficiency as another Instance. A car that Is operated without proper regulation of the cooling system Is nt nil times running Inefficiently. This Is especially true In winter when the engine Is constantly operated at the wrong temperature, either boiling over because the radiator is covered with j the lap-robe or running cold because there Is no covering nt all. The market now offers several radiator covers with openings which can be operated front the dash. Along the efficiency Une are other devices which are destined to filter the gasoline before It is admitted to the carburetor, thus preventing the i entrance of dirty or watered gasoline to the carburetor or engine. A device of this character may pay for itself within a month after It Is Installed. Then there nre shock absorbers, which In addition to giving greater rifling comfort, save the springs from breakage on the rebound and thus Increase the vsefulness of the car hy preventing breakdowns. Even cutouts which were at one time regarded as toys for the speed maniacs are now shown to have a very important use. Regardless of the selling points of each accessory or all of them as a group. It Is a fact that any one of them adds to the second-hand value of 1 a car. So the motorist not only has the use of the accessories with which l.e equips his car nnd the savings on Insurance, Inconvenience, repair bills, etc., but he gets a return premium ' when he goes to sell the car. Good Advice Is to Give Machine the Once-Over There’s economy, also satisfaction in giving your car the once-over in , the spring, then if It needs replacements or anything else to bring It back to perfect form, have it done as quick- ; ly as possible. Naturally the toll of a year's driving is most severe, and generally there is a reminder or two. Right here the old stitch in time principle works out. When the car Is restored to its .best shape, almost as good as the day it was bought, riding in It Is far more enjoyable, also it will bring a much better price if you care to sell or expect to trade it in on a new car. Letting your motor car run down is false economy. Eventually it costs you more and in the interim you are not happiest when riding along the highways. Even little things which you may think are of no special consequence develop into big items in repair bills if allowed to run on without interruption. Windshield Rattle When the windshield glass becomes loose in its frame, it causes an annoying rattle. It Is very difficult to close the frame so that It will grip the glass more securely without the possibility of breaking the latter. If the glass Is not too loose the rattle can be eliminated by filling the space In the frame with shellac. This can be applied with a sharp pointed stick or a briish and should be applied slowlj’ so that it will pack tightly in the opening.

Automobile Suggestions

License tags must not be obscured by bumpers, extra tires, etc., and i must be kept free from grease, oil 1 and dirt so that they are legible at i all times. • • • English authorities keep automobile thefts at a minimum by a system of ] records which show the original and ’ all subsequent owners of any one car. 1 A finger-print record Is also kept. i

WATER INJURY TO TIRES IS SMALL _______ ; Running Through Stream Is Not Injurious. Now an'i then in the course of ai automobile trip a car has to pa^s ■ through a stream, and the question Is j sometimes discussed whether the ac- I tlon of the water is harmful to the tires. The same question arises when j the car is out in a heavy rain. Such a wetting Is practically nothing at all, either for damage or improvement. At any rate, the effect on the tire is not harmful. Two chief j constituents of a tire are rubber and | cotton, both vegetable substances, and ] as a rule water does not injure vegetable matter. As illustrative of this point, there Is the old but true story of the farmer who, when one of hts i rubber boots fell into a well, placed j the other on a shelf in a closet. Twelve years later when the well was cleaned the lost boot was found to be In excellent condition, but the boot on the shelf had fallen into ruin. If running through a brook resulted I in cooling a tire the effect would he i decidedly beneficial, but a quick dash through the water has little effect on the heated air within the tire and consequently the temperature change in the tire after its bath is negligible. Water Itself apparently does no harm to tires, but the combination of air and moisture commonly known as humidity is very destructive, esperialiy on the cotton In ordinary fabric tires. The moist air works in between the layers of the fabric and rots them out, sometimes even before the tires j leave the dealer’s storeroom. Curd i tires stand humidity better. The harmful effect of moist air is ; the chief reason why, when tires are | stored, they should be kept in a dry . atmosphere. As sunlight is also harm- । ful, the storage place should be dark- j ened. Shabby Tires Are Not Favored for Any Car Shabby tires on a good-looking car! J Yet stand on any street corner today and count the number of patched-up, ■ dilapidated tires which are being used ' to the last mile. The cost of keeping these tires running for a few thou- I sand miles would nearly pay for new I ones. Mileage such as this comes high. Tire conservation does not mean picking up a decrepit tire and putting I it back into service at a big repair : cost just to save a little rubber left ; in the tread. It means taking care of ; the tire from the first so that It will ' be able to deliver all the mileage built | into it by the maker. When tires are | so far worn that they are soon to i blow. It is poor economy to repair | them. Such a course means sacrifice of the inner tube as well. Cheap, makeshift patches, boots and I temporary repairs of all kinds are now being called into use as never before, hut patching up an old casing in which separation of fabric plies has already begun, cannot give the freedom from tire trouble on which the pleasure in motoring so largelj' depends. Tying in Spring Leaves Will Prevent Spreading Since the leaves In a spring have a tendency to spread apart, It is often hard to replace the spring tie-bolt in autos or trucks. The easy way Is to grip the head of the tie-bolt In a vise, and put all but the last four leaves one on top of the other. The last four leaves are put on crosswise, or spread around like the ribs of an umbrella, which allows the nut to be easily started on the bolt. With the nut on the bolt, swing the bottom cross leaf into place. Then each succeeding leaf will slide easily into position. Then tighten the tiebolt nut. Os course, the clamps on each end will have to be removed until the spring is assembled. Anything These Days Running downhill recently a driver found to his utter surprise that a motor truck, supposedly at rest in the downhill position on the right side of ! the road, was actually going uphill backwards. The driver could not get ! It through his bead for a moment and nearly lost control of his machine try- > ing to dope it out, which showed that | he was not prepared to expect most anything nowadays. The truck driver ; was utilizing the lower gear ratio of j reverse in order to enable the engine i to pull up an extra heavy load.

One editor has ascertained that there are three automobiles to every bathtub in the United States. Why not? There are seven days a week for the use of automobiles. * • • A lock should be provided for the gasoline tank.
