Too fre quently do thorns appear. And the thorns are often very tiny llttlo affairs, but rone the less prickly for that For a littlo thbfn can be Just as aggravatlngj M a bis one. In matrimony as In everything else, little trifles go to wake or mar happi ness Men frequently overlook this fact. In the big1 things, men may provo do llghlful and most exemplary husbands. BUt In the little things that mean so much to a woman they often fall hopo lessly. These small fallings are very trifling and, at flrst notice Immaterial. Hut they do cause a rift In the matrimonial lute, and one that widens and widens till the whole' Is maried. 1 knew a man "who ncarlr drove his Wife crazy by a habit he had of always leaving ills toothbrush on tho dressing table, Nothing that she Could sny (and, by the way, sho said a good deal) could induce him to leae It In Its proper plnce on the bathroom rack. They used to argue for hours over this. Finally tho natter ended In divorce. And all over a toothbrush, tool It did seem a waslo of energy. But ho wouldn't give In. He was built that way. "When the cane wont through the courts, I don't think the toothbrush was mentioned. But It was the root of the matter, all the same. Another divorce was brought nbout by the husband always forgetting to put his ocks In the laundry bag on ( Monday morning. "Darn It oil I" he would Bay. when his wife lemonstrated with him. "Tou can't expect mo to remember tri fles like that!" But the trouble was eho did ccpcct It. Bhe pinned a notice to his shaving glass bearing tho proud Inscription: "Socks In the laundry hag this morning" And he tore It down. This little com dy went on regularly for weeks. She would write the notice regularly and he as regularly would tear ltt down. But Anally she got so mad that the comedy became tragedy to her. And a divorce resulted. Tes, I admit they were both foolish, both to blame. It was, a ridicu lous affair. But the Irusband should have given In over such a little trifle. Husbands do havb irritating little ways that "fuss" their wives no end. For In stance, when the supper bell rings, they'll choose, thaf particular moment for displaying an extraordinary fondness for the dog, and Btart In -teaching him some new stunts. "John, John, supper's waiting!" the little wife will call. But John suddenly becomes deaf to all sum- The 'Man's Girl" "Well, Bailie, did you have a good time at the Evans' house party? Sit down there and tell mo every teeny-weeny bit tof gossip you heard and what everybody Bald, and, most of all, what Doris Seton aid to the male population In general. Tou may begin with the last, in true feminine fashion." Sallla laughed and started in to do as her friend asked '"We had a perfectly great time, and everybodv was as nice as can be." sho aid. "We said everything there ,jvnB to be said, and tangoed, and played auc tion, and flirted, and, In fact, did all the usual things one does do on a house party." "Now, my dear, ynn needn't be bo non commltnl with me," answered the cu flous one sweetly. "I know you and Doris had a falling out about something or you'd never foe so charitable. Or can It be that you have mado friends with her? Now, do be a dear, and tell your Bosaipy old friend all about it." "Sly dear Zlodge, you're so out and out curic-us that I can't resist you! Right In the face of my charitable scruples I'll tell you all about It if you don't breathe it to a eoul," said Sallle, Tho oath of secrecy was duly adminis tered, and tho recording angel probably got out hU pencil. "Well, you know what kind of a. girl Sorts is. Eie was as distant ns she pos sibly could be when we were all going- up In the train. Bhe Just looked out of the window and fairly yawned In the face of the girls who were silly enough to try to talk to her. There was a. little out-of-town girl who was visiting Dorothy during the holidays, and she got a regu lar case on Doris. Bhe Is so good look ing" that this little stranger Just natu rally waa attracted by her like a new man- Is, "My dear, she treated this poor little thin?

He said he always uttered clear of the girl who didn't Ilka ether girls. "From that time on we were handled With gloves, and nobody could aay a word, because it would sound catty And when she was alone with ui she never spoke a word. 8h spoiled the whole party; we were all cross at being her eatapaws, and 7t we couldn't object to kindness!" "And did she make an awful hit with the handsome person? She certainly de served to, after taking- the trouble to be nice to you girls.

"How did they pay?" he queried after a pause. "Postal orders." L "dot the numbers?" 'Tea. I've marked them dowp, on tho back of this letter." "Tou needn't worry about all that now," Interrupted Lord Arthur sharply. "Nothing Is to be done In the matter un til we have the boy sate and sound." "Quite true, my lord," said Murray, "but we needn't alt with our hands folded. on our knees, so to speak. Well, let the advertisement go in. They don't say how they are going to answer it" "A letter, I suppose, as they name no date for the answer." A few minutes later the luncheon broke viD, On .March 1 the advertisement was put in the Times, and on the following day a letter arrived at Monksllver ad dressed to Lady Wirabexley. Like the pre vious one, it had been posted in the W,. C district of London. It ran as follows: "At U o'clock on the morning of March 4 the money is to bo taken In canvas baits of 3QQ sovereigns apiece1 and deposited in the following place: On the coast of Bsex, near the mouth of the Blackwater, there Is a small Island called Bartsea, At dead low water it Is possible to cross the sands to it from the mainland.

CHRISTINE MIEDEBIOK AOTHOIl OH" "TUB NEW 110USEKKDP1NU" With stormy weather, tho problem of drying clothes becomes a serious one. It Is no wonder that with the Inadequate facilities offered by the average apart ment tho tendency Is more nnd more to send clothes to a commercial laundry. Out even It wo do this with the so-called "flat" pieces, nnd send other pieces to be dono entirely by the laundry or merety "rough-diy," there aro always some pieces which must be washed anJ dried at home, and many of lis still prefer to have laundry dono at home, so that the solution of drying clothes remains to be found For tho small apartment dweller there Is nn excellent lack which exactly fills this need of drvlnc clothes In the house, Tho rack consists of parallol strips of Vtond nbout flvn feet In length. Inter sected with narrow rope. The entire rack Is ery light, nnd operates by n small pulley, os that It can be cosily raised and lowered from the celling. To use It, the rack Is lowered, fastened nt a convenient helsht nnd hung with tho wet clothing When It Is entirely full, a slight pull ralKca It ns close tn the celling ns de sired, so that It la out of the way and yet gels the heat from the Upper part of tho room It Is best to do this toward night, so that tho clothes may dry when no person In In the room to bo affected bj the moisture. Such a rack costs nbout IS, and will be found most convenient In the Binall kitchen or other room In which Indooi drvlng Is possible. ttvpn If we nrc a suburbanite and live In a detached house with a jard which Is nmplo for drying In sunny weather, we still have the same problem of drying In doors when the weather bf cornea stori'y If the house Is our onn and our means nro gencious, tho most satisfactory per manent plnti Is to have a regulation clothes drvor heated cither by coal, gas or clcctrlcllv 1 heso drjors consist of i-cc-tlons of metal rack with a pull at the end which can bo diawn out of the metal com partment Into which they fit.

Similar sockets to those used In the outside fixtures can bo nailed at a height of nbout eight feet to a basement or cellar wall. Then each arm easily slips Into these sockets on the wail, giv ing, tho name drlng area within that ws possible outdoors.

If any such attempt is made you will never see jour son again." Lady Wimbcrley, white faced and on the verge of tears, handed the letter across the breakfast table to Lord Arthur. He read It through and smiled. "Well, that'll bo easy enough," ho said. "I'll see the thing through. Tou can leavo even thing to me." He rose from the table nnd put the letter in his pocket. "Arthur," said Lady Wlmberley in a low -voice, "you'll promise mothat no at tempt shall be. made to capture tho men." "Tes, Anne, I promise you that. No thing shall be dono until wo have the boy safe In our hands. 1'vo made that clear to the police I'll seo that they -do not oven have the meeting place watched." "Shall you go with the money?" "Tes, and I shall take Denham, X think. I've not decided about that, but in any case I shall be one of the two. Now I must get down Into Harptree, Russell and Murray are expecting me." Half an hour later he was at the police station. The detective read the letter aloud to save time. "Bartsea?" queried Russell, "X don't know it." "Got a map," said Lord Arthur. "I looked It out before I came down a bit of a thing the Island a muabank, I should think." A map was produced and they studied It, their heads bent over the table.

Strange as It may seem, there are many intelligent people, who don't know how to handle tho simplest maladies, nnd either make blunders which will Injure tho pa tient, or will lose their heads and neg lect the ailing one entirely. Here are a few simple "first aids" which It would bo well to commit to memory, as there are somo remedies and ou can always employ them.

We can take the gold down In Lady Wlmber ley's biff car I suppose we couldn't get the car across the Band?" The Inspector shook his head thought fully. ""They've got brains," he said after a pause. "Whoever takes the money over will have to wait on the island until nearly midnight, unless they're taken off In a boat. Then the time has been chosen very carefully Just enough daylight left to take over the gold and seo that it's alt right, and then It's dark-so they can slip away more easily." "They'd, not slip away at all," said the detective, "if I were given a free hand. I'd lay them by the heels before they'd gone a couple of miles, and the boy"d bo as safe as if he -were at home in his nursery asleep." "Tou see your way clearly, then?" said the Inspector. "Tou havs a plan already?" "Tes." "Tou needn't trouble to give it to me, Mr. Murray," Lord Arthur interrupted. Wothtng is to be done until his young lordship is safe." "Nothing would bo done, my lord." "I mean, no plans must be laid. It is possible these scoundrels might get wind of them however carefully you went to work. Now mind what I say. "There will be a reward offered tor the capture of these men after we have Lord Wlmber ley in our hands a big reward something worth having." "Still, a fast motor-boat, my lord ly ing up one of those creeks," and he placed bis finger on the may, "out of alibi a COAT FOR MIDWINTER of warm water.

"It makes ono's mouth water to hear of It But Lady Wlmberley has mado rrlo promise now about the escort for tho gold I shall go for one, nnd I thought of taking Denham. It would almost be better If tho police kept out of It. There ia Just the chance they might say we'd broken the contract." He pulled the map toward him and they began to discuss plans, A quarter of an hour later It was settled that Lord Arthur should go and take Denham with him. CHAPTER XIX. The morning ofMarch 4 was fine, but a bitter east wind was blowing in from the sea and, as far as the eye could reach, the water was ridged with lines of foam. At ten o'clock the big car from Monk silver came to a standstill near tho edge of the marshland. Lord Arthur drove and Denham sat In the front seat beside him. The rest of the body was filled with small canvas bags. "Like chucking ll into the sea, my lord," said Denham angrily as he alighted. "Worse, my friend worse. But it's got to go. I suppose that's our Island, eh?" and he pointed at a long piece of green marsh that was separated from the main land by a channel nearly a mils In width. The tide was still running out, and here and there humps and ridges of sand showed above the water. The island could hardly have been more than a quarter ot a mile in length. "Flat as a board," said Lord Arthur. "The fellow was right when he said that' there was no shelter. A rabbit couldn't hide on it unless it burrowed under ground. I suppose that's our fellow with the cart" "Tes, my lord. He's coming alontf from the next village. I think I told you I thought it best to get the vehicle from some village a little further along the coast" "Tes, but he moves slowly, doesn't lie?? and Lord Arthur locked at hla watch. "We can't get across yet, ray lord," said Denham: "we're a bltaarly," "I know, but there's 411 the loading; up to be done 250 bags of what did you tell 'em." . "Ballast, my lord-to be picked up by a yacht that's calling for it about night fall." Lord Arthur4aughed. "What a likely story," he chuckled. "They aren't In quisltlve in these parts, are they?" The horse, a big, powerful animal, drew the cart up by the side of the motorcar, and the driver, a lean, sunbunU fellow with a large, vacant face, stared stupidly at Lord Arthur "Now then, ray man," said the latter.

Tho other day my great friend Elinor called round for me in her runabout. Bhe rushed into the house in ber usual tempestuous way, and I knew at once that some schema was brewing In her mind.

Tou can get indigestion very easily from a watery dish of fried or stowed bananas, but if you learn somo really appetizing manner of cooking bananas, you will become a convert to tho cult. Even the fresh fruit with cream arid sugar on It Is enjoyable, If all tho little strings aro removed and the dark spots cut out Dark spots are only a sign that your banana Is over ripe. In rospect to actual nourishment the banana Is the most nourishing food there Is, and Is In tho class with the potato, bread and cereals. They aro a food ele ment, giving heat and energy, and you will bo wlso to include them In your diet often. A ripo. uncooked banana may bo given to children without and fear of consequences, If the rough, fuzzy part Is removed. It Is this which Irritates the delicate digestion. A nice luncheon dish with bananas is made of batter cake made out of the same kind of dough you ueo for short cake. Arrange your Btlces of banana over tho dough and sprinkle with sugar, spice and batter. When it la-baked serve with .cream and sugar. of "John Bredon. Solicitor."
