Har riet can discover nothing of import ance in the office and is justnbout desperate when a new danger threat ens her. She Is recognised by Sadte Hoicard, a girl from tho tenement u-here she had lived, and tSadlc is de termined to tell the volice. She car ries her story to tho Evening Star, which sends out Donahue, a young reporter. He trails Harriet to tho office after hours one evening, and then breaks in upon' a scene. Charlie has lew trying to persuade Harriet to run away with him, and at a cru cial moment Lucy Pratt, who hai been listening outside, bursts into the room and denounces Charley as the thief. The Tombs T GUESS you won't trouble to deny It nfter that," Lnrry Donahue said as Lucy concluded her story. Charlie shrugged his shoulders nnd for n moment he looked ns he felt. Ills bluster hnd vanished, nnd his blue eyes were no longer filled with young nrro gnnce. A sullen look had settled nround his mouth and he looked snccrlngly nt Lucy. "Well, the game's up," he flung out, "nnd I'd like to know what you get out of It, now that you've spilled the beans." Lucy turned nwny. Her fire wns gone, nnd her slim shoulders dropped. In. thnt moment she was very forlorn, nlmost ugly, nnd In silence she crept out of the room. Harriet looked after her n moment, her own eyes filled with tenrs, but her own hnpniness was so grent thnt she could linrdly keep the triumph out of her voice as she spoke excitedly to Lariy. "Come on!" he said, boyishly, "we'll pull fcomc wires now nnd see whnt happens." And without a word they hurried out. leaving Charlie alone in the silent office. Lnrry stopped nt a telephone booth to telephone his story in to the paper, nnd there was a note of exultation In his voice ns he talked to Dudley I'helps. "I've found the woman all right, nnd you ought to see her. Yes, I'm on my way to the Tombs with her now. Neil is innocent just ns I thought all along, nnd young Hnrmon took the bonds. If It hndn't been for Mrs. Nell's brnins nnd young Charlie's lnfatuntlon for her, the thing might still be a mystery, but, of course, this isn't for publication." Phelps smiled ns he hung up the re reiver and called n stenogrnphcr. Well he knew joung Lajry Donahue and the romantic streak in his nature that made him of peculiar value to the paper. Larry could always be depended upon to ferret out the unusual, nnd in this case the htory hnd jubt the quality to make it a knockout. Harriet never forgot tho feeling that swept over her ns she walked down the bllcnt echoing corridors of the great prison, past the barred doorB through which peered white faces, until they stopped before a cell and tho keeper unlocked n door. The light was very dim, nnd n man btandlng at the smnll barred window turned ns he hoard the key in tho lock. Larry turned away as Harriet stepped forward and she nnd Barry were virtu ally alone. He stood there staring nt her for a moment as though she hnd been nn ap parition and she put out her hand and touched him on the arm. "Barry!" Her voice, the blebscd realization of her voice that he had not heard for so many weeks, nlmost unmanned him, nnd like a starving person Ills arms went around her and crushed her to him. For long moments they did not speak, nnd then finally he held her away from him to look into her eyes. "But what's happened? Why nro you here? Dearest, I'm gone nenrly mad thinking about you. and wondering If ou were Hafe. Tell mo!" And she told him, told him he was free, only to have him Interrupt by snatching her into his arms uguln. To Barry even freedom was as nothing compared to the fact that Harriet wns with him again. And her heart ached to see how thin he hnd grown, and how loosely his clothes hung on his body.

Tho book wns Abbot's "Life of Peter the Great." "Why the crtiBh on Pete?" I Inquired. "Nothing special," he answered; "it's simply that he happens to be this week's victim It takes me just about n week or so to finish nn nvcrago biog raphy. Aside from newspapers nnd trade publications, thnt's about all I read biography." "What's the idea?" "Well, there are two reasons." continued the chief. "First, a good biog raphy saves me time nnd money. It is many books in one. It is a history of the time its customs, character, beliefs, habits and nil. Again, It brings in the great men, Issues nnd events of the day. Secondly, I read biography for the sheer enjoyment of It-rfor the snme reason that everybody else who would only half try would enjoy it becnuse everything that has to do with human life, with its experiences, its joys, its sufferings, its achievements the way men think, feel, act aud renct has an Irresistible human nppenl. Every man nnd, for that mattor, every worann is intensely and instinctively interested in other men nnd other women. Nothing Is more true thnn the old snying thnt mnn himself is of nil things in the world most interesting to mnn. "The nnfortunnte part of biography is its name. People somehow associate biography with booklshness or pedantry or ology or something, nnd shy nwny from It. As a matter of fact, biogrnphy Is just the opposite. It Is human nature. And ns soon as people really begin to realize it, it wilf come into its own nnd become the most popular, as it is easily one of the most profitable kinds of reading. "Somebody once said that every person's life contains the mnkings of at least one good novel. Whether or not thnt is so, I do not know; but I think there is no question thnt even the wisest of us enn lenrn something from even the most commonplace life. And if that Is true of the llfo of the common run of us, how much more true is it of the life of the men nnd women who stand out In history, who have become landmarks and signposts of civilization? Surely, what ever rclntcs to such men nnd women, to their troubles, their struggles, their hopes nnd their triumphs must be full of interest, instruction and inspiration. "Many a mnn, nfter n hnrd day, will try to stlmulnte his flagging energies by alcohol or he will 'rest' himself by going to n stuffy, mediocre 'show' that keeps him up till midnight. Besides being expensive, these and like methods arc inefficient. They only impair a man's ability nnd make it more difficult for him to do the work he wnnts to do. Half an hour's rending of thu biography of most nny of our grent men will pump tho tircdest man full of new strength, courage nnd faith, would rouse him into action nnd stimulate him into effort that would be bound to bring many happy returns. "Thero is another thing rending biogrnphy does, which, if it did nothing else, would mnke It forever worth while. It keeps a mnn from feeling sorry for him self. It purges his system of the toxin self-pity. When n mnn hns knocked about n bit nnd finished on the rough end of mnny deals, he is npt to get the Idea that he is a very much abused human and that the Fates have It In for him. He only begins to realize how well off he is and how often he ought to get down on his knees and thank IiIr lucky stnrs when he reads that Walter Scott, for instance, ground out his novels while suffering excruciatingly from consump tion; thnt Milton did his best work nfter he had gone blind; that Siemens per fected his open-hearth process und revolutionized methods of steel mnnufneture only nfter molten metal had burned his nrms to the bone, ncccssltnting amputa tion; that grand old Abe Lincoln himself nt ono timo hnd tho whole world down on him to the point thnt ho wrote, 'No ouo but myself believes in mo' ; that Schwnb, Marshall Field, Grant, Woolworth, Bok, Carnegie, Disraeli, Garfield, Booker Washington and hosts of others of corrcspopdlng caliber subsisted during their teens nnd twenties on hash, hustle and hope. "Yes, slr-rce," concluded tho chief, "there is nothing liko a rattling good biography to make a man feel like n million dollnrs. And once a man fcols that way nnd stnys that way by reading more biography, It Is only n matter of time before he Is Bitre to be spending much of his timo telling magazine and newspaper writers just how he did It, nnd how everybody else can do It, nnd so on. And tho stories usunlly make pretty good reading, too they're just camouflaged biography, you know." See This New Portable Electric Sewing Machine PORTABLE NOISELESS EFFICIENT THE JOY OF EFFORTLESS.
