THE HOLIDAY
HABIT
ELLEN
A Sensible Plan Adopted
The holiday habit Is one that should
be ctllUtaled by all the hard workers of
th present limes.
"It is cany io talk," the tired worker?
way answer despondently, "but In these
days of rush and bustle and competition,
how can we afford to take holidays? We
have neither the time nor tho money."
UUl It Is wonderful what can be done
With a little determination.
t am of opinion that wives In particu
lar should lake regular "days off," This
In for the sake of their mentality as
much as for their health. The dally rou
tine of the pots and pans can prove al
most soul-kllllns to a woman. Wen don't
realize how much the average wife goes
through In the day.
"Thl three-meal proposition Is dread
fully hard." said a. tired little wife. "It
literally ties me to the house! As soon
as I have cooked one meal T have to
mart in on another. You havo no Idea
how I hate the very sight of food. It
Just seems as If my llfo was being drag
ged out forever In the kitchen."
"What does your husband think about
Mf" Inquired a sympathetlo friend.
"Oh, he just doelti't think." answered
the little wife despondently. "You can't
convince the averngo man that his wife
doesn't have an easy time of It, There
are none bo blind as those who will not
ee, you know. John comes home at
night and sinks Into the nearest chair
With a manyrea expression on m i.cije, who can manage It, to go away
How calm and quiet and restful It Is In Kegularly for quiet little week-ends. It
this house here," he wilt say. 'After all,
wd man's true place Is In the home. I
nvy you. Mary. You don't know how
noisy and exhausting it Is down at the
olTtce every day "
"Didn't you let him know how hard
you worked at home?" asked the sym
pathetic friend indignantly.
"Oh. yes," said ths -wife, "but he only
emlled indulgently, as if I were a petted
child who had to be humored. You can't
convince a man that wives have a hard
time, for they lust won't believe It. I
know perfectly well that John Imagines
X spend the greater part of every day
lying on the sofa with a box of candy
at my elbow, reading the latest novel."
.
A number of wives decided lately to
cultivate the holiday habit all the year
round. Every Saturday afternoon they
went off on a week-end walking four
with their husbands.
"I have found It an excellent plan,"
laid an attractive young wife. "My hus
band gets away early from the office on
Saturday. We lunch together In town,
than take the train to some place about
10 miles out of the city and begin our
walk. No, we don't carry baggage with
us, but send clothes for the night ahead
by parcel post. We always arrange be
forehand what hotel we are going to
sleep at on Saturday night. On Sunday,
we get up early, and continue our walk.
At about 8 o'clock on Sunday night we
dine at some quiet country inn, then take
the train baok to town.

"My husband says that he always feels
very (It for his work after this holiday,
much more so than If he lay In bed and
slept nil Sunday, as he used to do.
"As for myself, I feel a different per
son altogether when Monday morning
comes around. It used to be such a dis
mal, dreary sort of time. But now I feel
so well and strong after my long country
tramp, and I have alwos another trip to
look forward to at tho end of the week.
"Another good point In this holiday
scheme Is that my husband and I have
got to know each other so much better.
You will think thly rather a strange way
of putting It, since we have been married
for 10 years, and have had ample op
portunity In that time to become ac
quainted. But let me tell you we haven't.
So many people are always dropping in
to lunch and tea and dinner that I often
think our house resembles a hotel. Then
my husband's club takes up so much
of his time, and we are seldom alone for
long together,
"But on these week-end walking trips,
we havo no one to Interrupt our con
versation. Never before did I realize
what an interesting, well-Informed man
my husband Is. And I know that he has
learned to appreciate me more, too. Tou
are tho best companion a man could wish
for,' he said last time. And I was so
delighted. Yes, I advise all mnrrled peo-
doesn't really cost much, cither. And It
keps doctors away from the horn, for
It really sets one up In splendid health
for the week.
"We continue this habit in ths winter
time, too, unless the weather is too hope
less. But, so far, my husband and I have
gone away every single week-end, and
have had delightful tramps In the oold.
frosty weather. I enjoy winter week-end
tramps quite as muoh, if not more, than
summer ones."

CHAPTER 3TJX
(Continued.)
Lord Arthur and Danham glanced at
each other as much as to say, "The fel
low Isn't such a fool aa he looks." Then
the three men seated themselves In the
cart and the horse went slowly down the
gentle slope from the marshland to the
sands. A minute later Its feet were splash
ing in the water, and the cart lumbered
along with Its heavy load, now passing
over dry land and now almost up to the
axle In some current that aoourcd a gully
through the flats.
"I hope we shant ret washed away
said Denham.
"No fear," laughted the laborer. Too
muoh ballast-gee up, Mary."
At last they reached the green elge of
the marsh, and Lord Arthur, standing up
in the cart, had a clear view of the whole
Island. There was not a road or path of
any kind to be seen merely a green ex
panse of coarse grass and znarshweeds.
"We're got to gt over to the seaward
side," said lord Arthur, "by the channel
where the boat can pat in. Can you
drive across?"
"Naw," said the man, 'but I can drtra
round."
He turned the h,ore's bead and the cart
lumbered slowly round to the other side.
Here there was a beach of shingle, and
the water ran deep close to the island.
The three men alighted and began to un
load the cart. ,In less than ten minutes all
the bags were piled up In a heap at the
edge of the grass, where they would be
safe, even at high tide. Lord Arthur gave
the laborer a sovereign and the man
touched his greasy cap.
"I'd like," he said elowtyi. "to be dotrf
this sort of job all day "
Then he climbed into the cart and drove
off at a trot Lord Arthur and Denham,
hartnr nothing better to do, crossed the
island and watched the cart go bumping
and swaying across the sand Lord Ar
thur looked at ths fellow through a pair
of Held glasses
'I'd like, to see him shot eut," he said
with a grin. "Waken hto up a bit"
But Lord Arthur's wlshea were not
gratified. The man reached the main
land In safety and drove straight up to
the car- Then ha alighted and began
apparently to examine the various levers.
"Curse the fellow," said Lord Arthur.

glided swiftly away, trailing a thick
cloud of dust behind it
The two men looked at each other for
a second in blank amazement Even Den
ham, without the aid of glasses, could see
that the car was being driven off along
the road. Then Lord Arthur laughed.
"Done in the ee, by Jove," he ex
claimed. "Our precious yokel! Upon
my word, Denham, you've a bit to learn
In your profession that fellow's got the
better of you "
Denham flushed angrily and stepped
off the marsh onto the wet eand.
"I'd better go after him, my lord," he
said, "at once."
"You'd better do nothing of the sort.
Tou're not likely to overtake him, and
we've arranged to stay here."
"But the motor, my lord it must have
cost a thousand pounds."
"It cost twelve hundred, to be predse, ,'
uennam. uut irs not tne Bort of thing a
man can steal. We shall get ths motor
back all right. He's only borrowed it, I
expect."
"My lord," stammered Denham. "Tou
you think I ought to have been pre
pared for something of this sort. Tou
must be- fair to me, my lord Such a
thing as this could never have entered
any one's head. I don't see what they're
playing at."
Lord Arthur took a cigarette from his
case and lit It. Then he looked at the
mainland with a puzzled frown. The
horse was still atanding patiently by the
edge of the road and trjlng to make a
meal off the canty herbage. The motor
was out of sight, and not even a thin
cloud of dust remained to mark Its trail
across the level plain of marshes.
"I went to the farmer, as-,1 told you,
my lord," Denham continued; "a man
of the name of Brantwood, and said we
wanted the horse and cart to take some
ballast across to Bartsea. He didn't
Jump at the Idea at first, and it wasnt
till I offered him n sovereign that he
agreed to let me have) the thing, I pre
sumed the man waa one of his carters.
What else should I think, my lord? I
don't see what they're playing at at
all."
Lord Arthur plaoed tho field-glasses to
his eyes and searched the coastline.
Then he smiled.
"A man running," he said, "along to
the left there; J. shouldn't wonder, If that
Isn't Brentwood's carters"
He handed Denham the glasses, and
tho latter watched the man for nearly
a minute.
"That Is what it is, my lord,' he said,
"pur fellow got hold of the cart some
how. Still, I don't see why. ITe could
easily have ome up afterward and taken
off the motor," '
The man came up to the horse and,
seising It by tho bridle, turned Jt round.
Then he jumped up into the cart and
began to gesticulate, throwing his arms
tip above his head and then pointing in
land and out to sea. After a, mtnuto of
these antics he lashed the horse with his
Yfhlp and the animal broke Into a gallop.
"They're all gone mad." muttered Sen
ham; "quite mad."
Lord Arthur shrugged his ehotddero.
fWell. If s been something to pass the
tlms," he said. "Weve a long-, dull wait
before us. And, by Jove, It Ls oold,'
"I wish I knew why that fellow went
off tn that car, my lord."
"On of the gang. I expect. Denham,
Very likely hefa gone to tell them that
the money Is waiting for them."
"If s possible, my lord, but still "
"Seems waste of tlraei doesn't ttt And
It's all the better for ns help us after
ward In tracking the fellow down, eh!"
"Yes, my lord J thought of that.
There are a dozen detectives In Essex
today watting to set to work, directly
we have his young lordship safa and
sound. If any of these see the car
well. Murray would reoognls tt. and tha
others may have some information about
it"
They walked around to the other eld
of ths Island and looked out across the
sea to the east.
"I think we'll eat our sanawtcheiV vaM
Lord Arthur, "fend then we'll keep, our
selves warm by walking."

"They don't Intend to turn up," said
Lord Arthur, "ancl.hcro we are stuck in

"Too rough, perhaps, my lord "
"I doubt It. They would have allowed
for bad weather No provision was made
for that In the letters If the worst camo

mainland. Besides, It Is not really rough
only a freBh breeze."
"Tou think, my lord, they never In
tended to come?"
"I don't know what to think. I only
know that here we are stuck on this
Island with 60,000 in gold "
Denham put his hand In his pocket and
took out an automatla pistol.
"I think, my lord," ho said slowly, "that
we may have to make a fight for It.
They'll oome on us when It ts dark."
"Take the money and give us nothing
in return, eh?" ,
"Something like that, my lord,"
The sun sank below the horizon, and
the gray twilight came up from the east
like a shadow. The twilight deepened
Into darkness, and lights gleamed out
along the coast, sparkling brightly In the
keen, clear atmosphere. But none of the
lights moved, save one far away in the
main channel, and that belonged to some
great steamer going down toward the
mouth of ths Thames. Lord Arthur and
the detective sat down with their backs
to a pile of canvas bags the only shel
ter they could find on the wind-swept Isl
and Their hands were In their pockets
and their teeth chattered with the cold
"A nice Job this, Denham," grumbled
Lord Arthur, "tpon my word, I wish
they'd come. A bit of fighting would
warm us up."
"Shall we go off at low tide, my lord?"
"And leave the money here? Not muoh.
As aoon-ns tt ts daylight you can go and
find the police. WVU take book the gold
and hsvo a. look for my oar. X dare say
there'll he some oonrmunJeatloa from the
scoundrels If they have really been pre
vented from turning up."
Denham relapsed Into silenoe. The
prospect of spending the night on the
Island waa not a very pleasing ons. And,
as the wind hissed past in the darkness
and ths noise of the shingle being sucked
back by the waves made an almost con
tinuous roar, he thought longingly of his
snug room at Monksllver, and the warmth
and gaiety of the servants' hall. Lord
Arthur filled and lit a pipe, and nearly an
hour passed before he epoke again.
"Keeping awako?" he queried.
"Tes, my lord. If s hardly oamfortable
enough for me to fall asleep."
"I suppose not, Denham. Heard noth
ing, have your
"Only that infernal rattle of the shingle,
my lord."
"That'll ease off a btt as the tide goes
down. Like a, drop of brandy?"
"Thank yon. my lord. I wouldn't mind
a drop."
Lord Arthur handed the detective Ms
flask. Denham drank a. mouthful of the
raw spirit.
"Thank you, my lord,- ha said. "That
does warm one up a bit."
Lord Arthur put the flask back into-hls
pocket and rose to his feet.
"Ill sit round the other side of thla gold
mine," he said, "If 11 be better to have
one of uo on each aide,"
die took up his position, to windward.
Xt waa oolder here, and the thin mist of
pray drove In his faoe from the sea.
When another half-hour had passed he
stood up and began to walk, up and down
the edge of the shore, stamping his feet
to bring some warmth Into them. Tea
yards forward and ten yards back hs
walked, and when he had dons thla for
perhaps the hundredth time ha paused,
and. taking his field-glasses from their
leather case, looked through them sea
ward. For nearly a minute he remained
quite motionless. TheA he turned and
went back to the heap 'of canvas bags.
"Something coming. Denham," he whis
pered! "a red light-Just visible every
now and then."
"A. port light, jmr lord?" queried Den
ham, springing to his feet and peering
into the darkness
"Tea, and coming toward us can't
make tt out we ought to see the star
board light as wellthe boat must be up
the chaniwlhera, you have a look."
Denham put the glasses to his eyes and
adjusted the foous. For a little whlla he
could nothing, and then he gave an
exclamation of surprise.
"See it, ah?" queried Lord Arthur.
"J see a green Jight '

Author of "John Bredon, Solicitor."
The light came nearer, moving toward
the Island from tho east Then It dis
appeared, and after a few minutes ap
peared again, and a few seconds later
both green and red lights Bhowed quite
distinctly But in another minute they
had both vanished,
"An old trick, that. Denham. What
do you make of It?"
"Out of hand, my lord boat drifting, I
should Bay. Ths wind is bringing her
down the channel here. That's about
what It seems to me swinging round
and round, she Is going anyhow."
The lights, now one, now the other,
now both together, came closer and closer,
dancing up and down on the ctest of the
waves Denham and Lord Arthur moved
quickly to the eastern end of the Island
and stood there, watching and wondering
If there was any one on board the boat
and whether she would ground on the
sandsplt or be swept past the Island and
run ashore on the great sandbank to the
west.
"Shall I give rfer a hall, my lord?" que
ried Denhnm.
"No we'd better wait Denham,
I'm afraid there has been an accident
my nephew "
He paused, perhaps unwilling to dis
play any emotion before the detective.
"Well, my lord," said Denham. "the
craft Is afloat anyway."
"Tes, and, of course. It may not be the
craft we're waiting for."
For ten minutes neither of them spoke,
""""n tli tun lliilitfi seemed to stop and
the green one disappeared. The red re
mained finite motionless, It came no
nearer to them, -and It no longer danced
up and down on the rise and fall of the
water.
"Aground," paid Lord Arthur, "on the
spit Come along, Denham. You'll havo
to get your feet wet"
"Wish w had a light, rnjr lord, rra
not sure them lent a channel between ns
ond that lamp." r"
"Well risk that awira It If neces-
Tf we were to wait a tittle whfla, ray
lord. The tide ia running out.'
"Walt! Not a minute. If you're afraid,
you can stay behind."
"Oh, rm not afraid, my lord," said
Denham, and he followed Lord Arthur
on to the smooth, wet ridge of sand. Be
fore they had gone a dozen yards their
feet splashed tn the water. Ten yards
farther on they were up to their knees
and small waves splashed them as high
as tho waist. The water did not get any
deeper, but by the time they reached the
stranded boat they were wet through.
Lord Arthur took the port light out of
its socket, and the outline of the vessel
showed olearly In the red glow. It waa
a motorboat about 10 feet over all, and
seven feet tn the beam, with a cabin ex
tending from the bows to within 10 feet
of the stern. Built of steel throughout
she looked both strong and fast
"Seems sound enough." said Lord
Arthur aa they climbed on board.
"Tes," Denham replied! "if she'd come
to grief at all se'd have gone down like
a stone. Ifs a miracle to me she's kept
afloat with no beam to speak of."
They found the oookplt half full of
water, and ac the waves 1onni mr.i.
the side of the stranded boat a shower of
made bla way Jnto the oabtn through an
open door, and the red light of the
lamp showei a table and two Jong berths
and a heap of crockery and odds and ends
lying in the water on the floor. In the
far comer lay what seemed like a heap
of ruga and blankets.
"No one here, my lord," said Denham.
Tou'd better go on Into the engine room
for'ard "
Lord Arthur made his way through the
water to the far end of the cabin and
puuea asiae one or We rugs. A faoeJ
looked UD at him with vU.niun ..,-..rj
a grinning mouth the face of a man with
a black beard.
"Here, you come oot of this, he
shouted, and gripping the man by the
collar he dragged him up to a sitting po
sition. The es still stared at him, the
lips still grinned. He let go, and the
man fell back to his original position
"Oh, Heaven," he muttered, "the fellow

PRACTICAL SUGGESTS
, . -
Kllnor gave a delightful little lunch, fol
lowed by bridge, yesterday. I met quite
a number of girls who used to be at
school with me, and we had Interesting
talks over old times. Several of them
were married, which surprised me very
muoh. But then girls are marrying very
young nowadays. Mamma says tt Is ri
diculous to do trilit She would advise
girls to be In no hurry to make up their
minds matrlmonlal-wjse. And rm rather
Inclined to agree with her. I don't want
to get married for qulto a long whllat
at any nate, not till I've traveled a lot
and met n great many people.
But to return to Elinor's little bridge
party. Some really lovely afternoon
gowns were worn. I admired Elinor's ons
particularly. I'm almost certain It was
a French model. It was of heavy taffeta
and flowered chiffon. The taffeta was In
a lovely mustard shade ond the waist
ecru. Tho little flowers dotted on the
waist were pale pink roses and a big bow
of taffeta was worn at the neck opening.
Tho high laos collar was particularly
pretty and suited Elinor's type of beauty
exactly.
She wore velvet slippers of the samo
mustard shade as her skirt, and prettily
adorned with large silver buckles.
I did admire Elinor's gown Immensely.
Women are on the go so much nowa
days that they fall to realize the value
of relaxation aa a beautlfier. They think
that they can run around to bridges, teas,
dansants, dinners and such things day
after 'lay end not show the efeots of It
This is a physical Impossibility. Tou
can't lose sleep without showing It, sooner
or later, and It doesn't take very long.
Beauty la a very elusive thing, and it
Includes so much that to be truly beau
tiful a woman must be more or less of a
paragon. In the first place, she must be
healthy. If you are anemic, or If your
face Is too flushed, your looks are bound
to suffer In proportion. Besides this she
must be happy. It Is a wise woman who
knows the value of happiness as a beau
tlfier. It stands to reason that the face
mirrors the mind, and If you are thinking
kindly, helpful thoughts and doing kindly,
helpful deeds yqur face will show It. A
On the Subject of Children
Do you make your little girl or boy a
nuisance or a delight to your friends?
This is what one hostesB said after she
was alone with her husband for the usual
"talk over" after a dinner party.
"I never knew Laura could change so.
Wlven she wrote me that she was in
town, I thought she would Just All out our
party, and so I asked her up. I knew
Bhe was devoted to her children, but 1
never thought that shs talked of nothing
else. I haven't seen little Bobby, but 1
could give you a detailed account of
everything he ever said, thought or did
since his first birthday.
"Every time some one tried to change
the conversation by mentioning some
thing else, It reminded her ofpne of
Bobby's bright remarks. Of course, she
didn't know how she was boring every
body, or Bhe wouldn't have done It, but
you know what a confirmed bachelor Tom
Is, and he fairly made me shiver, he
looked so ferocious."
"Well. I think it la beautiful for peo-
pie to know something about children,"
said her husband, "no matter whether
It is a hardened old bachelor or a grumpy
old maid or a tired business man. It
makes people better to come In touch now
and then with the Joys and Borrows of
ohlldren even though they be other peo
ple's children. At the same time, there
Is a limit to such appreciation and Inter
est. When will mothers come to realize
that people fall to see the cute and cun
ning traits of little Bobby In the process
of growing up?"
"It Is a hard Individual who doesnt
respeot a mother and appreciate the great
love that Js hers, the like of which love
Is unknown to the world. At the same
time she can keep her friends and draw
to herself the friendship and sympathy
of others if she respeots tho. truth of the
statement that It ts a bore to listen, to
stories about people unknown to every
one," said the hostess.
