CHAPTER CCCXIII When I got back from hurrying Daisy Coridon out of my apartment by the back entrance, I found Jim in my room holding in one hand the orchid negligee I had carelessly thrown down, in the other my pearl ring. He looked up quizzically: "Where did this come from?" he demanded, holding out the ring. "Was it magic? How did you get it back? Did the thief come across through noble remorse, or did you throw a scare into said thief?" At sound of that word, something caught in my throat. A man's idea of justice—Jim's idea of Justice might not be satisfied by what I'd done. I dared not tell Jim the truth and yet I couldn't bring myself to tell him a deliberate lie in so many words. But I could arrange matters so he'd draw his own conclusions. 'Wait a minute," I cried, "wait a minute and you shall hear. I .promised Aunt Mollie Pettingill I'd f i alp her up within the hour and it's long past that. She may be waiting in for me." I took down the receiver, gave the number and sat praying for a quick connection. A miracle gave it to me, and in another moment or two I was telling Aunt Mollie the half-lies that must serve for truth. "I have the ring," I said. "You ought to see the tableaux now. My Jimmle's standing with the recov ered Jewel in one hand and the orchid negligee you suspected in the other. How can I thank you?" "Wait a minute," cried Aunt Mol lie's voice from the other end of the ■wire. "Wait while I tell Neddie he was right. Neddie, Neddie! You were right, boy! Our Anne found her ring just as you said —right in the dress she was wearing when the jewel disappeared. Wait a minute, Anj)e, my boy wants to speak to you." Then Uncle Ned's voice came over the wire: "So you got the ring, litle girl. Now, that's fine after all. And, as my bride said, there wasn't any thief." "It was you who said that," I re plied, thankful I could go right on equivocating. "No, there isn't any thief. And I'll sew the hem of my negligee very carefully right away. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for the inspiration. It's a terrible thing to judge people guilty even If they are and when no one Is —actually guilty—it's too cruel to .think about. So now I have my birthday gift—and no regrets." "Your birthday gift!" ejaculated Uncle Ned. "Why, this makes it a kind of double party, a second one jiow." "Oh, I hhven't had the great day Jfet," I laughed. "So I'll really have Jthree gala days with my ring—the One when I got it to-day because I ECZEMA To reduce the itch irig, use soothing e applications of— yiCRS VAPORUB& YOUR BODYGUARD"-30f. 60ML20 ( ] : .j ) ( Women's ( ; m. i j Top-Grade \ I Shoes I A woman's Walk-Over "Top-Grade" I k shoe represents the ultimate in quality L \ of workmanship and of material. \\ Believing absolutely that you desire to secure the ' ' finest quality of shoes for the price you pay-, we invite y you to compare our "Top-Grade" with any other shoes ? ■ selling elsewhere for the same price. ® \ To our definite knowledge, we sell this shoe at several \ A dollars less per pair than most shops charge for like \ :\ quality. / jk "Top-Grade" Shoes on sale 7 ' here in a variety of lasts and • 1 leathers and patterns —in sev- f eral of the newest colors.

Then a grateful good-by, and I returned to Jim, who had flung him self down on the chaise lounge and was lying inert, with closed eyes. "Now, aren't you giad I saved you from handing that detctive bureau a wad of money?" I asked. There was a queer, tense moment before Jim replied. He kept his eyes shut, and I noticed the perpen dicular frown between them as he spoke jerkily. "Sure am, especially as I'd have felt several kinds of a fool when the cop sleuthed it out in a hem. He might have thought it a bit care less and untidy for my wife to have dragging around. So you got the idea from Uncle Ned? Isn't he the smart old guy?" "He's an old darling," I said. "And I guess I'll run to him with my troubles every time I have any. So beware how you sneer at me for being a poor seamstress." yCome here, Anne, and kiss me," commanded Jim huskily. "I love you dear, more than I—realized.". As I stooped to obey him he sat up suddenly and pulled me down at his side, holding me to him in rough triumph. "You little fool!" he chuckled. "You utter little fool. So that pearl was dragging around in the hem of that chiffon fluff all the while you pleaded with me to give the criminal a chance. You sure are one funny, little, sentimental little kid. Come on now—tell a fellow —whom did ' you suspect. Old Boothie?" "Jim, don't you call me a fool ; again!" I cried. "It's terribly dis- | respectful." "You don't say so?" Jim's voice ' shook on a suppressed note. Sud denly he tweaked my ear in high feather at my feminine helplessness and inferiority, and I found myself enjoying his feeling as much as I ! did the triumph of outwitting him and saving Daisy without the nec- ! essitv of telling any deliberate lies. "Come on now, kitten, tell a fel low whom you suspected," he insist ed, adding almost curtly with one of his sudden mental right-about-face > movements. "It won't do, Anne, for j you to go off at tangents like this, j You've got to cultivate more faith in human nature. All of life's run on a basis of faith and trust be- ! tween individuals." "Yes, dear," T replied, humbly enough. "I'm beginning to learn that." "Which reminds me," went on < Jim, rising and setting about dress- ! ing for dinner, "Tom has aked us i to run out to a country place with him Sunday. He's thinking of buy ing it.

JaA*miS3URG U0&& TELEGRXPH LITTLE TALKS BY BE A TRICE FAIRFAX In spite of Investigations into the high cost of living, prices continue to soar and the smiling salesman, as he takes your last nickel, tells you "they will go higher yet." There is a simple remedy, within the grasp of every woman, in regard to the high cost of living menace. She may read the advertisements in the daily papers and make her selections accordingly. For no dealer will spend money in calling attention to his top notch prices. He advertises his bargains or what passes for bargains these nerve wracking days. And the thoughtful patriotic woman will decline to pay spectacular prices, even when she can afford to pay them —for that way con fusion lies. We American women have got to take this question of the high cost of living into our own hands, just its the women of France did. They secured the publication of a Government price list and the price list of the profiteers shrivelled accordingly. Even V we can afford to pay the fabulous prices now asked for certain things. We must decline to avail ourselves of thai; luxury, out of consideration for those who cannot afford to e exploited. The Pinching Shoe Question Let us take, for instance, the ques tion of shoes, which is pinching us all to-day. Mr. Wendell Endicott of the Endicott-Johnson Corporation, the largest manufacturer of shoes in the world, said the other day in an in terview, that serviceable dress shoes jof high grade leather could be had, 1 from *6.00 to *B.OO a pair. And that men's working shoes of heavy leather [ could be bought from *4.00 to *6.00 a pair. He went on to state that to do this, shoppers would have to look about and find shops where prices are within I one's means. •"The case of shoes," he | said, "is very much like the price of i breakfast at fashionable hotels. A man may pay a dollar for coffee, rolls \ and his tip at certain hotels. An iden tical meal of the same quality, but minus the style and the hotel's pres [ tige, could be bought at any number ot places for one-third of the price. The buyer of shoes has to make a similar choice." The tremendous cost of many ar ticles of wearing apparel at present is very largely a question of "atmos phere." If you must have beautiful DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS IP A SIMPLE HOUSE DRESS WITH SLEEVE IN EITHER OF TWO STYLES 2991—Percale, gingham, cham bray, lawn, flannelette, and drill are good materials for this style.

Two or three of the large depart ment stores in New Yor krecognlze this and sell goods with and without "atmosphere." In the softly shaded "Louis Suites" upstairs you can pay, accordingly for anything your imagin ation demands. But downstairs. In the basement, where "atmosphere" is conspicuously lacking, the intelligent shopper Is still rewarded by many bargains. There is no cunning arrangement of mirrors to soften one's defects and bring out one's good points. It is the prose of buying; there is no cajoling of the senses—but there are bargains. If you are willing to do your shop ping without pampering, you may still be able to clothe yourself, but Heaven help you if you must have the bland ishments of the "Louis Suites." Fortified ny a little inside knowl edge and some "horse sense," a busi ness woman bought a pair of plain black pumps the other day. for which she was asked *l6 plus the war tax. "Tliank You, No" The enterprising young clerk with an air of subdued sorrow, then in vited the customer to buy several more pairs of "business shoes," at similar prices, saying if she waited till Au tumn she would have to pay *25 a pair for similar shoes. "Thank you, no," the lady answered, "i don't Intend to pay that price again either now, nor In the Au , tumn." "But how ihall you manage?" the clerk flustered, "shoes are going stead ily up by October we shall be ask ing *25 for these pumps that you are now paying only *l6 for." "I shall manage," said the lady gently but firmly, "by going to another shop. Not every dealer Is asking *l6 for these pumps to-day, and not every dealer will be asking *25 by October. I intend to go to another shop." "But," said the clerk, more in sorrow than in anger, "we make a feature of those long narrow lasts; you won't bo able to get them elsewhere." "I know you have made a feature, also a fortune, out of those long nar row lasts," the lady contested; "hut other dealers have discovered your Klondike, they are carrying them too, and at about half price. "This little clipping may Interest/ yoi^" —and she thrust a scrap of paper into the young man's hand. The clipping was the interview with the shoe manufacturer before referred to, saying that any one who wanted to pay *2O and *25 a pair for shoes could do so, but that it was not neces sary. The clerk then had a bright idea. He happened to remember they were "closing out" certain pairs of shoes that happened to be the customer's size at greatly reduced prices. These were genuine bargains and the lady bought them. Much of the high cost of ev erything depends upon the extent to which the public is willing to be bled. If we pay *25 for shoes this com ing October, doubtless some eloquent young clerk with tears In his eyes and a voice husky with emotion will he telling us that we shall have to pay *35 by Jaenuary 1, and by Janu ary 1 there •will be found a Mrs. Gul lible, ready to pay anything she is asked. The emotion of the profiteer, taking our last nickel and telling us. that in a month or two he will be obliged to take more, recalls the sorrows of The Walrus and The Carpenter in Lewis Carroll's "Through a Looking Glass." You will remember that the walrus and the carpenter were about to eat the little oysters who had gone walk ing with them. "I weep for you," the walrus said. "I deeply sympathize."

ATUSTAGA- For Indigestion Take Bi-nesia Costs Nothing if it Fails Nearly everybody suffers at times after eating. Many can rarely eat w'thout suffering the most excruciat ing agony. Some people call this in digestion, some dyspepsia, others gastritis; but no matter what you call it, no matter how many remedies or how many doctors you may have tried—instant and almost invariable relief may be obtained by taking in a little hot water a tablespoonful of a simple neutrate, such as Ul-nesla. This Instantly neutralizes the acid and stops food fermentation, the cause of nine-tenths of all stomach trouble, and thus enables the stom ach to proceed with digestion in a painless, normal manner.

They belong to the class which is hypnotized by figures. If an unbe coming hat costs $5O It must be more desirable than a becoming one at .v third the price. High prices exercise a curiously subtle effect on certain weak characters. They have a feeling that the top notch figure must conceal something precious, something desir able. Such people arc the easy mark of the profiteer—the darling of the exploiter. A bargain is beneath their dignity— they belong to the great family of little oysters," which has branches all over the United States.

The dentistry work of these an cient aboriginal people, shut off from the civilization of the eastern world across the sea, is still to be seen in the mummies and skulls that have been preserved from that far oft time. It is said to show as great and meticulous skill as that of the modern dentist. Their records oven prove that they used coca, from which cocaine is extracted, as a local anaesthetic. The work of their gemsmiths, on the other hand, was Inferior to that of to-day.

Urges More Production as Remedy For Unrest St. liouis, Mo., Oct. 1. Increas- j ing production as a means of set-! tling the present industrial unrest! and the declaration of an industrial truce for six months as a method j of reducing the cost of living, were ' suggestions by W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve | Board, in an address before the con- | vention of the American Bankers' Association here yesterday. Causes of the labor trouble, Mr. I Hurding asserted, are directly ttace- j able to the great war, to its waste and destruction, to its heavy drain upon available supplies that consti tuted so large a part of the world's wealth and to financial expedients which he said were necessary to ob tain these supplies. The Governor expressed the view that credit expansion, rather than currency inflation, is responsible for prevalent economic troubles.
