8 OF INTEREST T SHALT NOT FLIRT By DOROTHY DIX This is the eighth commandment of matrimony: Thou shalt not flirt with other women, or roll thine orbs at the man With whom thou fox-trotteth, for jeal ousy is as cruel as the grave, and the short cut to Reno. One of the favorite amusements of both men and women, who find matri mony dull and monotonous, is to en gage in what they call harmless flirta tion. Which Is as If one exploited an innocuous stick of dynamite or a. frol icsome viper. Now, the married flirts are not nec essarily conscienceless villains. Neither are they always traitors, or even really untrue to the partners of their bosoms. They are merely bored. They are vic tims to the curse of domesticity, which robs married life of all its illusions, strips from it its pink chiffons, and leaves it bare and bald and common place. Loves His Wife, But— In his heart a man may still think his Matilda Jnne a model of all the virtues, and the pattern of what a good wife and mother and house keeper should be. If he had to marry, he would marry her over again. BUT— Well, there is no alluro in making love to your own wife when she listens with half her ear to your impnssloned vows and the other ear and a half cocked to hear the bay cry. There's no thrill in sending her favorite flow ers to a woman who v/ould rather have the price to go on a now pair of shoes. There's no glamor of ro mance in having a little dinner some where with the lady who has the legal right to face you across the table three hundred and sixty-five mornings and evenings a year. And the woman who is bored with the eternal roast beef and boiled po tatoes of matrimony, and whose palate cries out for something with a little more pep and ginger in it, is tempted along the primrose path of flirtation by pretty much the same impulses as her husband is. She, too, is a-hun gered for romance, and, more than that, she is beset by a devilish fear that torments her and will not let her rest. Her husband has quit making love to her. He has ceased paying her compliments. He treats her with as little sense of her being a woman as if she were a feminine mummy of the time of the Ftolmies. This raises a horrid suspicion in her breast. "Am I old and ugly already? Do Ino longer K.eep Vigorous *up on your toes A ' IJJJLLSIL mfk "enemies V VyourTEETH -are Pyorrhea and decay.

Have I thrown away my bait or lost it?" she questions of her mirror. Disaster the End Whatever the reason of the flirta tions of married folks, however, there is but one end to them, and that iB disaster. You cannot play with the fires of passion without getting burnt. This is especially true of women. A woman's flirtation may not bo skin deep in sentiment. It may have been Inspired by the moßt fleeting impulse of vanity, just a whim to see if her eyes had lost the goo-goo trick of her girlhood. She may have merely writ ten and received a silly note or two or had a cup of harmless tea at a restaurant. Her soul and her slate may be absolutely clean, and in reality she may still hold her husband as far above the man she is flirting with as the stars are above the earth. Nevertheless she is running the risk of wrecking her life and home. Thou sands of women have been damned for Just so little. She is miring l the hem of her garments, and there will not be lacking those who will point out the stain and call her husband's attention to it. And she can never, never, never explain. And nobody will ever, ever, ever believe the truth. Least of all will her husband believe it. When a married woman flirts it gen erally ends In divorce for her. When a married man flirts it doesn't end so often in divorce, for necessity forces wives to forgive things in their hus bands that husbands do not have to forgive in their wives; but it ends in broken hearts, just the same. There is no safe flirtation in which married people can indulge. All the ways of dalliance are closed to them, and thoy stray over the bars at their peril. Therefore, say to Cupid when ho comes whispering in your ear, "Get thee behind mei Satan, for I partake no more of romance, except of the wpll-known domestic brand that is made at home." Thus shall you keep out of trouble and safe within the fold, for this is the eighth commandment of matri mony: Thou salt not flirt with other women, or roll thine orbs at the man with whom tlioa fox-trottcth, for Jeal ousy is as cruel as the grave, and the short cut to Reno. (The next article will be on the ninth commandment of matrimony, "Thou shalt exalt no other place above thy home, neither thy business office, nor thy bridge table, nor any cause shalt thou put before thy home, nor neglect thy homo for it."

Missing Lawyer and Wife Are Found Alive in Shack in New Hampshire Wood Dixville Notch, N. H., Sept. 25. Joseph A. Dennison, former assistant district attorney of Suffolk county, Massachusetts, and his wife, who had been lost for nearly four days In the wilderness of the northern foothills of White Mountains, were found yester day. They had suffered greatly from exhaustion and lack of food and sleep, but it was not thought their hardships would cause permanent injury to their health. The Dennisons were discovered in an abandoned logging camp on the shores of Dead Diamond stream, in the Dartmouth College grant, a wild sec tlon of country near the Maine bor der and ten miles from the hotel from which they had set out Wednesday afternoon for a stroll. In seeking to return they had lost their bearings in the almost trackless woods and for two days had wandered in quest of a habitation. Not until Friday did they And shelter in an old lnmber shuck, where they remained too tired to walk any longer, and not knowing which way to turn. Mrs Dennison's feet were so /painfully swollen that it. was doubtful whether she could have continued much far ther. i Discovery of the missing: lawyer and his wife was made by Earl Gould and Scott Copp, employes of the hotel, who had joined with scores of other per sons In the hunt. —As a result of their successful efforts they are entitled to a reward of $1,500. of which SI,OOO was offered by Daniel H.

Watt & Co., International News Service. (Continued From Yesterday.) "Yea," Colton nodded gri'mly. "I had them called oft to give you your chance. That's why I was so careful to tell you that Bracken would be homo to-day. I knew you'd be desper ate to get the thing before he arriv ed. I knew that when I stole the cryptogram the only thing you could do was to come here and try to find it without. 1 forced your hand at every turn of the game. But your slipping away from the hotel after calling from your room that you weren't to be disturbed was a master stroke. You could have slipped in again, and every employee of the hotel would have sworn that you never left it. Their Jobs depended on it." "What a fool!" murmured Carl, and there was a bit of awe in his voice. "What a fool!" He touched the back of his head tenderly. "Pity I couldn't have got a jolt like that before," he smiled grimly; then he glanced toward the huddled, twitching Norman, and a disgusted look came to his face. "I'm glad you got him, too." "What did he have to do with the death of Nelson?" asked Colton sharp- Norman raised his head. "I didn't have nothing to do with it!" he screamed. "He said he couldn't find the crow, and I left him in a saloon on the water front." "He's right," growled Carl. "He wouldn't have the nerve to push him In." "The waiter had the one missing link," Colton said quietly. He reached out his hand toward where the dis trict attorney was sitting. "The feath er?" he asked. Silently the attorney extended it. "I thihlc this will find the rubies," the blind man declared. CHAPTER XXT No Human Hand Each person in the room leaned forward to see the thing the prob lemist held in his hand. Even Syd ney Thames, who had seen the silver feather before, looked at it with new interest that the blind man's words had brought. Was this simple thing of silver the cause r the murder of the man at the hotel and the death of the waiter whose body had been found In the river? On the faces of those around the big circular room, with its littered papers and torn-up rugs that Norman and Carl had pulled up in their frantic search for the rubies, was depicted the whole ga mut of human emotions. Silver San dals' eyes were on the face of the blind man, trying to read the thoughts behind the words he had spoken. In the eyes of Kuth Neilton was only sorrow. There was no interest in the thing that meant so much to her. She seemed only to see the death and suffering it had caused. Bracken stared frankly his wmaaement. The district attorney face held the same puzzled look that had been thero ever since he had visited the morgue. On Carl's face was disgust, and he was looking at the slouched figure of Nor man with death in his eyes. Norman looked down at the floor. McMann and the square-jawed detective leaned back comfortably, with their eyes on their prisoners. Their case was end ed. The Fee grinned frankly at the effect of the blind man's words, and shifted the perforated box a bit be tween his knees. "The cryptogram was as strange as John Neilton himself." The blind man's voice was very low, but the words came clearly. "I puzzled for hours, trying to find a solution by all the known rules of cryptography. It was not until I entered this house that the answer came. That, too, because of my blindness. John Neilton knew that Silver Sandals could solve any puzzle by the short, cuts and turns she had learned in the years of working over hieroglyphic fragments. So he made the crow the key. She had the crow. She was supposed to have the cryptogram. But there was the silver feather that he never spoke of. He mentioned it once to the girl. Once he told Silver Sandals the same thing: Only a feather stands between you and the rubies. She had never seen the silver feather. What he intend ed to do with it so that she would find it when she was clever enough to re member I don't know. But in some way the waiter who was at the house got hold of it. Probably he took it only for Its intrinsic value and because it appealed to him. Tha words of Silver Sandals that Sydney told me when I was bringing him from the hypnotic state were instantly sugges tive. Only a feather! Only a feather! She remembered then. While we were waiting she told me the facts. She thought it was a feather of the crow that was m-eant. Then Miss Neil ton dropped the feather in her haste to go away. I found it." "Thf solution! What is the solu tion?" Silver Sandals was standing. Her husky voice made of the words exclamations rather than questions. She seemed to tower over the seated girl like a great black specter in her satin gown that she had worn in the restaurant. She had forgotten every thing else in her eagerness to find the solution that the dead man had left her as his legacy. Sydney Thames realized, as did Thornley Colton, that It wasn't the rubies nor the fortune they represented that the woman wanted; It was merely the answer to the puzzle that she had been unable to solve. "As is the case when a really clever person tries to work an unsolvabie puzzle, John Nellton made it sim plicity itself. It isn't a cryptogram at all." It's a map!" "A map?'' Silver Sandals took the papyrus sheet, with its strange figures, from the bosom of her dress. She laid it on the table in the center of the room. Colton, too, was on his feet, walking slowly around the room, touching the circular walls with his hollow, slim stick. "I said before that my blindness figured the thing. I haven't proved it, but I'm cortain. My lack of sight has made step-counting automatic and unconscious. I can't help it I knew every lino of the cryptogram because blindness has made the de velopment of my memory an absolute necessity. The minute I walkod down the hall in the house here when I had brought back Carl a peculiar thing struck me. There were just as many steps from the front door to a door that led through a eihort passage as there were crows pictured on the top straight line of the papyrus; eight I turned to my right. Three Btepsj and there wae another door. A turn to the left two steps, and I was in this room. It is circular. You have known that for years, yet because your eyes had accepted It as a com mon thing, you would not get the sig nificance as I woulot, because I have always been compelled to figure my steps and the shape of things. From the door, nine steps around the cir cumference of the room." Breathlessly they watched him count off the paces. Then an exclama tion of disappointment rose. He was standing at a irindow, Sydney stood Every Person Bringing or Sending Us the Names of Three Families That Do Not Own Pianos Will Receive a Beautiful and Useful Souvenir Absolutely FREE.

Out side of it a giant maple kept all the sunlight from the room. "Nothing there!" There words came from Bracken disappointedly. "Wait!" The command came sharply from the blind man's lips. He flung open the window. "Sit down, all of you!" he ordered. They obey ed meekly. On the window-sill he put the silver feather. Then he step ped back. "Release the crow. Shrimp." Colton resumed his own seat. The boy lifted the cover of the box. With a screeched "Caw, Caw!" the crow fluttered out. It circled the room slowly. It perched on the green glass shade of the heavy light that was suspended over the table by a silver tube from a - raised design of Egyptian scarabs that made a circle in bas-relief as large as the globe it self. They hardly dared breathe as the crow walked around the heavy glass shade, his head cocking from side to side as he regarded them with his wise eyes. "Poughkeepsle!" it suddenly screamed. "Pough-kee-psie!" It seemed to see the shining silver then. It swooped down, picked it up, and was out of the window. "Crows are the greatest thieves in the world," Colton said slowly. "They'll steal anything that has a bit of shine, no matter what it is, and hide it in some place they have pick ed out. That's why the feather was made of silver." "He's takin' It up in the tree!" The Fee was the only one who had not been impressed into silence and immovability by the weirdness of the thing. "Good-by feather," laughed Carl jerkily. "It's Great Lord!" His exclamation was only part of the startled chorus. The whole heavy shaded light and the design of scar abs had swung downward. Where the heavy raised ceiling decoration had been was a square of silver. On it was painted crows! "The square design!" cried Bracken. In the center were pictured, with startling vividness, the under sides of three crows, with their heads together. And to complete the effect, six tiny legs of silver cord dangled. (To Be Continued.)

No window or door was broken, but the burglars cut through the floor ing and celling of (lie second floor and used a rope to lower themselves di rectly in front of the safe. Instead of blowing the safe, the cracksmen broke through from the door, cut away a. steel plate half an Inch thick, broke through six inches of concrete backing and chiseled a second hole in a second steal plate.
