U.S. ATTORNEY KANE
KEEPING WATCH ON
BREAD PROBLEM
His Office May Proceed In
dependently if Price In
crease Violates Federal
Law.
If the reduction of the size of a loaf of
bread or the boosting of the cost of tho
loaf violates the Federal laws. United
States Attorney Francis Fisher Kano has
the power to proceed at once against tho
offending bakers and grocers. In this re
gard Mr. Kane said today:
"This office may proceed Independently
If I discover that the Increase In the price
of bread violates the Federal laws, but I
shall not take uny action without pre
viously availing myself ,of tho counsel of
iho chief of this department In Washing
ton. It seems to me that If any ono ought
to take action In this matter at this tlmo
It surety is the Government, but I have
not studied tho matter to that end."
MR. KANE'S PLANS.
Mr. Kane waa asked If he tiad begun
any Investigation Into tho cause of tho
rise In the price of grain. -He said
that ho had read In the newspapers that
an Investigation hod been begun by the
Department of Justice at Washington Into
conditions In the Chicago wheat pit with
a view to the prosecution of the wheat
gamblers If the Federal laws were being
violated. In regard to bis own office here,
Hr. Kane sold:
"I have no knowledge that there ts any
thing being dona here In regard to the
grain market. I am doing nothing, my
office has received no communication
from Washington In that regard, hut I
am not In a position to say what. If any
thing, the Investigating department may
he doing. If It Is active here, I have no
Information to that effect."
"FRESHENING" OLD BREAD.
Universal t-cent bread will make the
tale loaf come Into Its own. Housewives
who heretofore have regarded the "second-day"
bread a quite without the pale.
It is expected, will be only too glad to get
acquainted with It, If tho price of wheat
continues to climb. Already the "bread

bakeries of the city, where loaves left
CHILDREN'S CORNER
Making
NINE little water fairies sailed
through the wintry ky on a great
Tshlta cloud.
"How do you like to ride through the
akyr" asked one.
'Ob, I don't know," replied his play
mate, doubtfully, "at first I liked It
pretty well, but I'm tired of It now, I
wish we had something nice to dot"
"o do I," chimed In a third, "this
'tuaUntt around on a cloud may sound
very Jolly. ,But I for one am tired of It.
XM'a get something new to dot"
All right, Ut'$." said all nine water
f)f(es together, and they started In
March o their fairy queen.
Thfty found her at the very farest ear
lier of the farest cloud; oh, they had a
lak long hunt, but they didn't mind
ttuv nobody minds a long bunt when
y get something at the end. and the
tatr fairies wero sure they would get a

week. This regular salary Is delightful,
there ts no doubt of that, and puts n
woman Into hnrmony with all tho world.
Hut the stay-at-home girl experiences
no such Interesting and stimulating sen
sation. Upon the contrary, Bho has to go
to her father for every cent she spends
nnd ho probably gives It to her with n bnd
grace, which makes the asking doubly
hard.
For no girl on earth likes to have to
"ask" for money. It Is unpteaBant, to say
the least of It. Yet tho stay-at-home
girl ought not to feel that It Is unpleas
ant, for If any one has earned a full right
to money. It Is she. She works harder
In the homo than do her slstcis In their
ofllccs. and her reward Is as nothing com
pared with theirs.
Thcro Is a curious Idea prevalent that
the stay-at-home member of tho family
has an easy and pleasant tlfc, sheltered
fromtho ups and downs that beset tho
business world, and free of the worries
that business always brings. Nothing of
tho sort! She has Just as many cares and
worries as her business Bisters, and
doesn't get half tho sympathy they do.
For work done In tho homo generally
goes unnoticed. Yet In every homo thcie
Is a tremendous amount of work to bo
dono, and tho person who attends to tho
hundred and one extra odds and ends has
a pretty thin time of It.
A man's uorlt Is from tun to sun.
Hut a woman's work is never aonc.
And this applies to the stay-at-home
girl. Yet so many people Imagine that
her life Is Just a bed of roses. I have
frequently heard girls profess to envy her.
"You lucky girl!" tlicy will say. "Able
to He In bed till ten In tho morning, If
you want to! Able to keep all social en
gagements and havo a perpetual ensy
time! You don't know your own luck!"
And the stay-at-home girl doesn't con
tradict them. She realizes that It would
be useless. But deep In her heart of
hearts she Is envying these business girls
their Independence, their satisfying
careers and their assured salaries.
over from the day before aro dispensed
at half price, are beginning to show an
Increase and tho merits of day-old bread
are being extolled on all Bides.
This bread, according to Louis Kolb, of
tho Kolb Bakeiles, Bolls at exactly half
price, and the demand for two loaves
for 6 cents Is steadily growing.
"As long as brend continues at 5 cents."
said he, "we shall continue selling this
stale biead at 2'4 cents the loaf; but, of
course, a rise may be expected at any
time. Just ns Boon ns wo have to buy
flour nl the present quotations we shall
ha.-o 10 raise our prices; but. fortunately, I
wo have a largo supply on lianu."
At tho Frelhofcr Bakery It was said
that the tlmo mlBht soon arrive when
the bakeries, In order to safeguard them
selves, would regulato their output to
accommodate only a known demand, and
In this case the supply of state bread
would be greatly diminished and this re
source denied consumers.
William Maehler, president of tho
aiaehler Baking Company, of Camden,
suggested that tho wholesale bakers
unite In a determination not to tako back
the stale loaves from the grocer. If this
measure were carried out consistently,
It Is his belief that the price of bread
might be kept down, because tho smalt
dealer would order more carefully and
the usual waste of an oversupply would
bo avoided for the wholesale baker.

Stars
"I knpw you do," replied the queen,
"you water fairies are the hardest to
take care of of any fairies In my king,
doml I no more than get you settled on
earth than you want to come up In the
sky) Then as soon as you are here, you
want to do something newl Well, what
Is It you want to do now?"
The water fairies looked at each other,
They hadn't really thought of what they
would like to do, they Just wanted to do
something!
But the biggest of the nine thought his
very quickest and said, "If you please,
dear queen, we'd like to make stars!"
"Make stars!" exclaimed the queen,
"what would you make them of!"
"We'd make them ofof " (all the
other fairies listened their hardest, for
they couldn't even guess what he might
say) ' we'd make them of clouds, white
clouds I Wouldn't that be pretty?"
"Wouldn't It though!" exclaimed the
queen, quite taken with the Idea, "very
well, I give you my permission, you may
make white stars of the clouds."
So the water fairies set to work. They
made stars and they made Urs. till the
heavens were so full of white cloud-stars
that some spilled over and fell to the
earth,
Down they dropped, more and more,
and still the water fairies kept on mak
ing. They were, so busy and happy they
never thought of stopping!

CHAPTEn KXIX (Continued)
HR caught the man by the arm nnd
hurried htm along the deck to the
cabln-the finest In the ship. Lord Wlm
berley was willing enough to rough It In
the wilds of Africa, but when ho traveled
by sea he liked as much comfort as he
could get. Ho closed tho door, seated
himself In a chair, pointed to another and
rang a bell. ,
"What'll you have?" he queried when
one of tho stewards appeared.
"Oh, not your whisky, I beg of you. A
wine of Spain, tf they can find It It not,
a wine of France."
"A bottle of champagne," said Lord
WImberley curtly. He had no wish to
sample the vintage of Spain, of which he
had unpleasant recollections.
"Now about William Merlet," said Lord
Wimberley "not Lord William, by tho
by. This Interests me. Nothing I can
do will bring that poor little chap to life
again, but, by heaven. If I can find Dick
Merlet's accomplice I'll get him 10 years'
hard labor. Why have you kept this to
yourself? Don't you know that there Is
a reward ottered 10.000 for any evidence
that will lead to the conviction of an ac
complice 10,000 a head for each accom
plice?" "I did not know I have been In your
Australia on business, and am now re
turning home I have been In the what
you call It-tho 'wilds,' do you not?
looklng for gold."
"For gold, eh7 Tou'd better have stayed
at home and followed up this clue."
"It did not seem very clear to me. When
I heard that the young Lord Wimberley
was dead I knew that tho people I sav
In the train had nothing to do with the
affair and that I had made myself a
fool."
The steward entered with a bottle of
champagne and two glasses. When he had
opened the wine and filled the glasses he
retired,
"How did you know that tho people you
saw In the train had nothing to do with
the affair?" queried Lord Wimberley,
"Because it was but three days before
they found the body, and It had been In
the water many days. I knew then that
I had wasted my time. Here la to your
very good health, my lord," and he raised
the glass of wins to his lips,
"Well, tell me what happened In the
train," said Lord Wimberley. "Give m
a few facts. It Is possible you may have
found out something of Importance."
Lopes took a cigar from bis pocket and
bit off the end,
"It was In the nlgnt express to Mar
seilles," he said, "and when the train
arrived I followed after them to a small
hotel of not very sood character."
' 'Was the boy or perhaps It was a girl
after all-still asleep?"
"No, he was half awake. He could
walk, leaning on one of their arms, but
he teemed dazed and stupid."
"You are certain It was a boy?"
"Yes, and more certain when he walked.
He did not seem comfortable la his

waited, and then I heard tho news from
Malaga."
"And tho pcoplo wcro still there when
you heard of the bodies coming ashore?"
"Yes, so that waa an end of that, I
left at once. There wa3 no need for mo
to stay."
"H'm" said Lord Wimberley thought
fully. "I think I should havo stayed until
I had known that tho bodies had been
Identified."
"Perhaps It would have been wise, my
Lord. But I wanted to get to Malaga
and seo If I could not work from thoro
and find out something. I know thero
was no time to bo lost, that others would
bo on tho trail."
Ho leant back In his chair and lit his
cigar. Lord Wlmberloy drank a little
champagne.
"Was this girl anything llko the photo
graphs of my nephew?"
"Yes so It seemed to me It was that
which first attracted my attention to the
young lady. 1 said to myself, 'This Is
surely a sister of tho missing young gen
tleman.' "
"And tho other fnan the man who was
not William Merlet? What was ho like?"
"Tall and big with a false beard. I
thought then that It might have been
Mr Itlcardo Merlet, but, of course, I
afterward knew that was Impossible,"
"Certainly It was Impossible. But tho
story interests me because I nm sure
that tho little man was William Merlet."
"And may I ask precisely who Is Mr.
William Merlet?"
"He Is the youngest of these brothers
of whom Dick Merlet Is the eldest."
"I see, my lord, so that ho ts what you
would call 'an Interested party.' "
"Yes, If ho could get rid of me and his
brother he would Inherit the title and
estates."
"And you know him, eh?"
"Only very slightly."
"You do not care for hlm7"
"He is a rotter, like his brothers."
"A rotter, eh? You mean he la no
good?"
"Precisely."
Lord Wimberley lit a cigarette, and for
a minute the two men smoked in silence.
Then Lopez said:
"I waa a fool not to have stayed on at
that hotel. I begin to see that I might
have learnt something of Importance."
"What do you mean?"
"Why, that tilts was a clover plot ,to
put people off the scent. They wished me
to think that this girl was the young
Lord Wimberley. They hoped I would go
to the police and that they would lead us
n danco all over tho continent If the
little boat had not been wrecked that
would have happened. And In the mean
time the young Lord Wimberley and Mr.
Itlcardo Merlet would have escaped."
"By Jove," said Lord Wimberley,
"there Is something In that Perhaps all
the threo brothers were In the scheme.
There was an attempt on my life that
could not have been made by Dick
Merelt I wish you had come to me at
once. Now It Is too late." Lopez sipped
his champagne.
"Not for one with brains," he said.
"What Is a year to one who has eyes
and brains? If I thought that I could
earn 10,000 pounds"
Ha paused and stroked his black
mustache. His dark eyes twinkled and
there was a flush under his swarthy skin.
"You did not find gold In Australia?"
queried Lord Wimberley, "And that fine
castle of yours lets the water In through
the roof."
"It Is so. And my aged mother has the
rheumatism. And the wind blows through
the windows and the walls, I have to
And the money for her and my five sis
ters. I may have to work."
"Well, work on this. I'd gladly pay
you the money. If I can bring another of
these scoundrels to Justice."
"But I may earn nothing and spend
the little I have left"
Lord Wimberley laughed. "Look here,
Senor noderlgo," he said. "I rather like
you and your castle In Spain. I'll finance
you for a little give you money to keep
you going SO pounds a month for a year
but not a day longer."
The Spaniard was too overcome to
speak. He seized Lord Wtmberley's hand
and bent over It to kiss It. but It waa
rouihly withdrawn from bis grasp

Spaniard, and then, thinking of his aged
mother who had "tho rheumatism" and
his Ave sisters whom no ono would marry,
ho wept.
"A coward," Bald Lord Wlmberloy cold
ly. "That's about what you are."
John Erlelsh, white faced, his hands
clenched, his lips pressed tightly together,
moved a pace forward, as though the In
sult wcro too much for him to bear. Then
he controlled himself, and taking his pipe
out of hl.i pocket looked at it and nut it
back again.
"A pitiful cownrd," Lord Wlmberloy
continued, "to shelter youwclf behind a
woman. I thought I was dealing with an
honorable man or I would not havo left
England."
"I gave you no promise," said Erlelgh
fiercely, "You said that If I married your
sister-in-law you would tell every ono
about 'Wjrtlgan and my sister."
"Pshaw! That Is the argument of a
man who has nothing to say In his own
defense. You knew that when you had
onco married Lady Wlmbcrley you were
safe."
"I told my wlfo all that you could havo
told her. When I had done that I con
sidered I had done all that was expected
of mo."
"Well, there's no need to discuss It
You know now what I think of you."
Erlelgh moistened his dry tips with hts
tongue.
"I I wish you would understand." he
said slowly, "that Lady Wimberley my
wife was In a position to Judge for her
self. She knew exactly how matters stood,
and It was not for you or for any one
else to Interfere."
Lord Wimberley laughed. "Upon my
word," -he said. "I believe It would do
you good If I gave you a thrashing. I
should feel all the better for It myself.
You're a contemptible scoundrel, Erlelgh,
to take advantage of a woman's weakness
and her love for you. You say you have
told her all that I know about you. Well,
perhaps ono of these days I may know
more than I do at present Certain
things may come to light that will mane
your wife hate and despise you. She may
no longer wish to protect you, and when
that day comes, by Jove, I'll do my best
to ruin you smash you up and your
school as well."
He strode out of the room, and the door
closed behind htm with a crash. Erlelgh
stood motionless for nearly a minute.
Then he seated himself In the chair at
the writing table and taking out his pipe
began to nil it with tobacco.
Then the door opened and his wife en
tered the room.
"Jack, dear," she said, "I I wanted to
Bee Arthur, but he would not stop to
speak to me, I I'm afraid you havo not
made friends with htm,"
"I'm afraid not, Anne," he answered
with a smile,
"I shall go up to Monkallver and see
him. Jack. He will come round. You
don't know Arthur he's all ablaze one
moment and the next he la as gentle as a
child. Jack, dear, I'm afraid you're
dreadfully upset"
She seated hersedf on the arm of his
chair and touched his hair gently with
her fingers.
"Jack, dear," she whispered, "you've
got me. You will always have me, even
If all the world Is against you."
Ha caught hold ot her hand and pressed
It against his cheek, gripping her fingers
hard.

the follow log suggestion:
To save laundry bills I havo made for
mother what I call "cart-wheel" tnblo
cloths to uso at breakfast nnd luncheon.
I bought blue and white Japanese tow
eling and sowed it together to form a
sort of largo cross. When this Is laid
on tho table It looks llko two runners
crossed, without, of course, tho two thick
nesses of cloth In the middle. Wo use
Japaneso napkins with these. They wash
very easily and are so cheap.
A prize of BO rents bas been nwoTdrd to
Miss aiarcaret Whalen. 2833 11 r own street,
rblhulelphia, for the following suggestion!
Many people think that gas mantles are
useless after they fall to throw a good
light, but this Is a mistake. I take all
old mantles and save them. Instead ot
using stiver polish I always uso tho old
mantles. Tho pulverized gas mantle
cleans Jowetry, silver and other things
without scratching them.
Across the Counter ,
A favorite collar for the coat suit Is
tho ostrich feathered one. This Is made
on a flat band, and sells for 13.
An extra evening gown Is always nec
essary between seasons, and a very pretty
selection of satin ones are on Bale at a
Chestnut Btreet shop at JIB.
A good suggestion for tho needlewoman
Is the scissors case. This will sheathe
the dangerous weapon, and only costs 05
cents.

mado In the popular mousquetalro fashion
and smacking of Paris, sell at 11.25.
