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

found it again, and the one it cele
brates."
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. You know he's one of the j
folks you had a lot of trouble
learning to look at without squint- !
ing "
"Oh, I got all over that." I said i
comfortably. "Got over It, fong ago. j
Want me to drive you out in the 1
little car?"
"That's my good girl," replied
Jim. "You know there's no one !
whose friendly interest has netted i
me more than Tom's. And right j
now I'm deep in his debt for the ,
way he's keeping his eye on Dick
West."
"Jim, is that West creature still ;
hanging around?" I asked uneasily. |
"He sure is," replied Jim. "But j
don't let that worry you. Tommie |

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

Two or three of the large depart

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.

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. Care

curiously enough the sheep are never
those who have any genuine claims j
to prosperity.
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.
More Jewels in

high-caste Hindoo woman, who on
here recent visit to the United States
created a sensation by wearing a
$6,000 diamond set in the side of
her nose, has nothing on ancient
Aztec dandies in Mexico.
An antiquarian recently has dis
covered that the Aztecs had perfect

quered Mexico and the fashionable
men of Montezuma's days not only
had their dental cavities filled with

their front teeth sapphires, garnets,

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. The native American

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.
Signal Corps Wantn
Trained Radio Men
According to instructions received
by the recruiting officer here spe
cial efforts will be made to enlist
men for the Signal Corps.
This effort will be concentrated
upon securing men possessed of a
common school education or better,
who are interested in, or who give
promise of being able to acquire, one
of the following trades: Radio
operators, expert: Morse telegraph
operators, able to use typewriting
machines, radio operators, telephone
and telegraph linemen, telegraph
operators/Telephone repairers, elec
tricians, switchboard operators,
cable spicers.
It is desired to emphasize the
need for these men, and to stress
the necessity for all concerned to
use all endeavor towards securing
them.
In reporting men for assignment.,
a notation will be made of the class
of work for which they express pre
ferment to training.
