Tlieiii M the hC resolved itself down
tn Hie routine -of nhndowlng the bnnk
eiiaid in older to establish contact with
V. re-t of the Rang, Hunt turned it
mor nitliely to the police. Rvcntunlly

ili.e loped that Miller had been fltopped
n,l diapscd from his car with the
mime at a point nenr where his body

ans hnd driven the compnuy car

CIV
C'aii you solve this mystery
of-
Tlw Mono. Lisa Girl
HAKVHV IIl'NT looked nt the girl
curiously. Slip bore his scrutiny
undisturbed. Slic even smiled n little,
nhwiH
Rlil."
Her ejes olttnjs seemed lo hold Hint
mlf taunting, hnlf vmK ln.crutnbl.
il.v. For the rest thcie wni nothing
rcnmrkablp about her, unlpos it cre.
perhaps, that nhc had it little more poise
l inn tin- nvcrage girl of her yenrf, for
she Kccmcd to be quite joung.
Hlie was neatly and mcdMilv dressed,
but her clothes were not the sort to nt
trm t nttcntion. In her brief conversa
tion with him she hnd shown unmis
takable signs of culture. Her hnnds '
were small nnd well cared for, nnd her
long, pointed nails upre ccquHtcly ,
mnnicuied. No kitchen work there, I
thought Hunt.
Finnlly she looked up ncross the cafe
table nt which they were sentcd.
"You think I do not look like n girl
who works, Mr. Hunt? I nssure you I '
have enrned my own living for four
years, and I am really in need of a no- '
sitlon. I have been given notice by my
present employer, nnd I leave him to
morrow. ou see, I am perfectly frnnk
with j on. I have been fired."
"Frankness is nlwnys a profitable
policy in the long run," murmured the
criminologist, "but it is not nbout these
things that I am curious, Miss cr
1'atton, 1 think you said your name
was. I nm wondering why jou think
I nm in n position to give you employ
ment. I nm, ns jou may or mny not
know, nn Independent operntnr. Some
people think me entirely too inde
pendent. I follow the game as n bobby,
not entirely ns n menus of livelihood.
It pleases me to tnkc only the sort of
enses that appeal to inc. I hnve never
had an nmbition to build up a big busi
ness or a large organization. I have
nevpr taken any steps in that direc
tion, nnd' have no intention of doing so
now. I nhvnjH ploy n lone hand, with
no assistance except such ns my good
friends among the police nnd the agen
cies nro good enough to accord me from
time to time. You have been frnnk
with me. I will be cqunlly frank with
ou. I need no operatives. Still less
do I Intend to take on a novice for in
struction." 'Terhnps when I tell you whnt I
hove to offer you," smiled the girl, "you
will make nn exception in my case."
"And what have you to offer me,
Miss I'atton?"
"An intimate knowledge of llruker
Baden's business, nnd the man's own
personal affairs." She smiled In quiet
enjoyment of the sudden interest in
the criminologist's glance. "You sec,
he is my present employer."
Hunt hnd good renson to bo interest
ed. Urukcr linden, one of the most
prominent, if not tho most reputable
lawyers in the city, wns, he had ren
son to suspect, the secret power which
In recent months hnd been making it
self fplt in the underworld, nnd was
icspotislble for n i lipid lncreac In tlio
number of successful nud profltnble
crimes. A "stntc of wnr" alrendy ex
isted between Hunt nnd Hnden.
"Whnt position do you hold?" nskod
Hunt.
"Tjplst." she snld. Hut slip had no
snonpr uttered tho words thnn the Monn
hisa snillp disappeared, nnd her gaze
faltered undo the cold steel which hnd
conic Into thnt of the criminologist.
"Miss Pntton." lie said, "vou nrc n
liar. io back to linden nnd tell him
to choose a better spy the next time
he sends 'one to me."
Hut tilml lir hnd the nirl loll, nnd
how dm llnrvcy Hunt know it:
The nnticrr wilt appear tomorrow.

Serve with Oatmeal
To bring the rose tint to women's and children's checks.
To increase men's energy and vim.
Do this, madam, for tomorrow's breakfast: Stew some raisins accord
ing to the recipe printed here, and mix with the oatmeal that you
serve tomorrow morning.
Do it for the added flavor to make oatmeal more attractive.
But do it mainly for the food-iron that raisins send into the blood,
and for the raisin's mildly laxative effect.
The bloom of youth
The tonic food-iron of raisins helps to bring the bloom of youth to checks that
perhaps are paler than they should be. Then the nutriment of raisins 1560
calories per pound gives men and children the energy they need.
'For regulating, tonic and nutritious properties combined, one can find no other
food that's so effective. The luscious flavor makes it easy to serve stewed raisins
frequently, so there's every argument in favor of their daily use.
Try it for a month and sec. Look in your pantry now. Begin tomorrow.
Send for free book, "100 Raisin Recipes." But first try the recipe printed here.
SUN-MAID
RAISINS
Stewed Raisins
Soak raisins over night, pour water
off and place in itewpan, putting in
not quite enough water to cover and
cook slowly for about an hour, then
sugar to taste and add a bit of vanilla.
Some raisins do not require much or
any sugar.
What Dr. J. H. KcllogS ays:
(Dr. Kcllof ll ht.d of the famoui DlttU
Creek Sanltirium.)
"RaislnsareservedontheBattleCreek
Sanitarium Table every day. A pound
of Raisins has twice the food value,
an equal amount of Iron and seven
times as much food lime as a pound
of choicest lean steak. The sugar of
Raisins is much more wholesome than
cane sugar, requiring no digestion and
being absorbed in one-fourth the time
required for ordinary sugar. If the
American people would eat more
Raisins and less meat the results
would be better digestion, less rheu
matlsm, less Brlght's disease, less
heart disease, greater efficiency and
longer life."
Use Sun-Maid Raisins in all your
cooking, for they are the finest grown.
Made from tender, juicy.thin.skinncd
California table grapes.
Packed in an immaculate plant in
California. Clean, sweet, whole
some, American raisins the kind
you know are good.
Three varieties: Sun-Maid Seeded
(seeds removed); Sun-Maid Seedless
(grown without seeds); Sun-Maid
Clusters (on the stem). All dealers.
Insist upon the Sun-Maid Brand.
