10 aiiisf HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Housekeeping With, and Without, Neighbors The correspondent who asked for di rections t'or hanging mirrors in her re ception hall so they would reflect the face of callers at the door certainly struck a responsive chord, for many readers have asked to have the same information forwarded to them-when it comes. So far no one seems to know the exact angle in which to place the glasses, for as we thought, it all de {•ends on the entrance and the position of the inner door. But any number of worried women are telling how they must plan to circumvent the early morning caller or the intruding agent. Listen to their secrets! One woman says she had her son ar range a switch on the electric bell aud v hen busy and unpresentable she can turn this so that the bell will not ring. "This does not work in all cases." she writes, "for my most troublesome caller has found out the scheme anil now tele phones before she comes visitiug. Of course. 1 must answer my telephone, so many of my precious morning hours are taken from me in spite of the silent door bell," \nother confession comes from a city woman who takes refuge in flight: "1 rave my long coat and hat uear at hand and when one of my tiring, time consuming friends (f) "iust drops in for an hour or two' I am just going out. It is a real treat to run away from the house for a few moments and I re turn more rested than if I had spent a morning or an afternoon listening to chia-ehat or gossip." Vow all these confidences might make one think that women are grow ing just a tritle selfish with their time. <V™.'-5.

Kather it shows that they are developing a higher | regard for it and for themselves, i When carpet sweepers were tirst put on the market 1 heard a woman ask her husband for one. "What would yoji want with onef" he demanded. "It would save time." she meekly replied, i "Craph." snorted the man, "what's a woman's time wutb and what would you do with et ef you did save et f" Happily, this attitude is fast passing away. Mothers' time is very precious to her family now. and if she is to keep up to date, and even with her children, she must save it and use it for reading, a little club work, an occasional pleas ure trip and to make home the love liest place in the world. No, it is not selfish to deny your time, interest and strength to inquisitive strangers, it is 'only sensible, for it permits extending more generous hospitality to your chosen friends. It is just as easy to make friends with persons of refinement as with those who never bring you an interesting thought. Easier even, for intelligent persons are always approachable. Their very surroundings and the food they eat become more interesting for their pres ence. With them your olives and sar dines recall a trip to Italy; a penny print brings forth the history of a fa mous painting and a Dutch cheese turns at once into a fairy coach, and awav you go into Holland! with its dikes and i windmills. Share your home with your friends and neighbors, but as soon as your hos pitality seems burdensome you will know you are practicing the wrong kind. i ot the t'niverstiy of Minnesota, was ad- j initted to the C hippewa tribe of Min | resota Indians, with the name of ' Moonlight.''

She was staudiug. her back to the dressiug stand, facing the door. She looked at me aud made a helpless gesture with her hands, as if ♦.he situation were beyond her. Then i saw her look down.

I could uot take it by force, but she knew as well as I did j what finding it there iu Turner's room i meant. Turner had locked me iu. But !

A curious spectacle revealed itself, j Turner, purple with anger, was ha j rangutng the uieu. who stood aniicj ! ships, bnddled together, but grim aud | determined wi; ha I. Burns, a little apart j from the rest, was standing, sulleu. hi< arms folded. A* Turner ceased he took ' | a step forward. I "You are right.

At 2 o'clock all hands gathered amid ships. and the bodies were carried for ward to where the boat, lowered in its davits and braced, lay on the deck. It had beeu lined with ennvas and tar paulin. and a cover of similar material lay ready to be nailed iu place. Ail the men were bareheaded. Many were in tears. Miss Lee came forward with us. and it was from her prayer book that i. too moved for self couscious ness. read the burial service. "1 am the resurrectiou and the life." j I read huskily. Mrs. Johns and the stewardess came op late iu the afternoon. We bad railed off a part of the deck around the forward companiouway for them, end none of the crew except the man on guard was allowed inside the ropes. After a consultation, ending the snip very sborthanded and unwilling with the night coming ou to trust any of the men.

I pointed to where the Jolly boat, on 1 ftie portslde of the ship, swung ou its davits. "What did you do with the —the weapon?" i "Why do you ask that?" "Morbid curiosity." she said, with a lightness of tone that rang false to uiy ears. "And then-naturally, 1 should like to be sure that it Is safely over board. so It will not be"—she shivered —"used again." | "It is uot overboard. Mrs. Johns," I said gravely. "It is locked iu a safe place, where it will remain until the police come to take it." "You are rather theatrical, aren't you'.'" she scoffed, and turned away. But a second later she came back to me and put her hand on my arm. I "Tell me where it is." she begged, j "You are making a mystery of it, and 1 detest mysteries " 1 saw under her mask of lightness then; she wauted desperately to know where tlie ai was Her eyes fell uu der my gaze. "1 am sorry. There is no mystery. It Is simply locked away for safe I keeping." Sliu bit her lip. "Do yon know what I think?" she said slowly. "I think you have hyp notized the crew, as you did me—at first. Why has no one remembered | that you were in the after bouse last night, that yon found poor Wilmer ; Vail, that yuu raised the alarm, that you discovered tile captain and Karen": Why should I not call the men here and remind them of all that?" j "1 do not believe yon will.

You are not a sailor. You came here and were taken on because you told a hard luck story. How Jo we know that you came from a hospital? Men just out of prison look as you did Do you know what we called you. the first two days out? We called you Elsa's jail I bird! And now. because you have j dominated the crew, we are ix your j hands!" "Do Mrs Turner and Miss Lee think | that?" "Tliey feel as Ido This is a picked crew—men the Turner line has employ ed for years." "You are leaving me only one thing [ to do." I said. "I shall surrender my- ; self to the men at once." 1 took out my revolver and held it out to her ; "This rope is a dead line. The crew j know, and you will have no trouble; j fcnt you must stand guard here until | some one else is sent." She took the revolver without a word ! rnd. somewhat dazed by this uew turn I of events. I went aft. The men were ! tcuthered there, and 1 surrendered my- I self. "It will leave you pretty short hand | ed. boys." 1 finished, "but you'd hetter j fasten me up somewhere But I want i to be sure of one thing first; whatever ! happens. I;eep the guard for the wom I en " "We'd like to talk it over. Leslie." j Burns said, after a word with tlie others. I went forward a few feet, taking ' care to remain where they could see uie. and very soon they called me. j There had been a dispute. I believe. Adams and McNamara stood off from the others, their faces uot unfriendly, but clearly differing from the decision. Charlie Jones, who by reason of loug service and a sort of pious control he had in the forecastle, was generally spokesman for the crew, took a step or two toward me. "We'll uot do it. boy," he said. "We think we kuow a man when we see oue. as well as having occasion to kuow that you're white all through Aud we're not inclined to set the talk of women agaiust what we think best to do. So yuu stick to your job and we're back of you." In spite of myself 1 choked up. 1 tried to teli them what their loyalty meant to me; but I could only hold out my band and. one by one. tbev came up and shook it solemnly. "We think." McXamara said. when, last of all, he and Adams came up. "that it would be best. lad. if we put down in the log book all that has hap pened last night and today, and tliis just now too. it's fresh in our minds now. and it will be something to go by." By unanimous consent the task of putting down what had happened was given to me. 1 have a copy of tbe log book before me now, the oue that was used at the trial. The men read it through before they signed it. Aug. 13. This morning, between 2:30 and 3 o'clock, three murders were committed on the yacht Ella. At the request of Mrs. Johns, one of the party on board. I had moved to the after house to steep, putting tny blanket and pillow in the storeroom an I sleeping on the floor there. Mrs. Johna gave, aa her reason, a fear of something going wrong, as there waa trouble between Mr. Turner and the captain. 1 slept with a revolver beside ma and with tbe door of the storeroom open. At some time shortly before 3 o'clock I wakened with a feeling of suffocation and found that the door was closed and locked on the outside. I suspected a Joke among the crew and set to work with my pen knife to unscrew th« lock. When 1 had two screws out a woman screamed, and I broke down the door. Aa the main cabin waa dark I eaw no one and could not tell ndiere the cry cume from. 1 ran Into Mr Veil's cabin, next the storeroom, and celled him. Ills door waa standing open I heard him breathing heavily Then the breathing stopped. 1 struck a match and found him dead. His bead had been crushed Sn with an aa, the left hand cut off. and there were gashes on the right shoulder snd the abdomen. I knew the helmsman would be at the wheel and ran up the after companlonnav to him and told him. Then I ran forward and called the first mate. Mr Singleton, who was on duty. He had been drinking 1 aaked him to call the captain, but he did not He got his revolver, and we hur ried down the forward companion. The body of tbe captain was lying at the foot of the steps, his head on the lowest stair. He had been killed like Mr Vail. His cap had been placed over his face. The mate collapsed on the steps. 1 found the light switch and turned It on There was no one In the cabin or In the chart room. I ran to Mr Turner's room, going through Mr. Vail s and through ihe bathroom. Mr. Turner was in bed, fulh dressed. I could not rouse him. Like th mate, he had been drinking. The male had roused the crew, ami they gathered In the chart room I toM them whut had happened and That ill* murderer must be among us I fcuggesit that the> slay together and thai ih submit to being searched for weapons They went on deck in a body, and I roused the women and told them. Mrs Turner asked me to tell the two maids, who slept in a cabin off the chart room I found their door unlocked and, receiving no answer, opened It Karen Hansen, the lady's maid, was on the floor, dead, with her skull crushed In. The stewardess. Henrietta Sloane, was fainting In her bunk. An ax had been hurled through th? doorway as the Hansen woman tell and was found in the stewardess' bunk. Dawn coming by that time I suggested a guard at the two companionwavs. an.t this was done. The men were searched and all weapons taken from them. Mr Singleton was under suspicion. It known that he had threatened the cjp tain s life, and Oleson, a lookout, claiming to have seen him forward where the ax was kept. The crew Insisted that Singleton be put In Irons He made no objection, and ivu locked him in his own room in the for ward house. Owing to tbe loss of Schwartz, tile second mate, already re corded In this log book (see entry for Aug. 9> the death of the captain and tile imprisonment of the first mate, ilie ship was left without officers. L'ntil Mr. Tur ner could make an arrangement the cre.v nominated Burns one of themselves, as mate and asked me to assume c< nniand 1 protested that 1 knew nothing of navl ttatlon. but agreed on its being represent ed that, as 1 was not one of them, the-e could be no 111 feeling. Tbe ship was searched on the possibil ity of finding a stowaway in the hold But nothing was found I divided tile men into two watches. Burns taking one and I the other. We nailed up the after companionwav and forbade anj member of the crew to enter the after house. Tile forecastle was also locked, the men brlns ing their belongings on deck. The stew ardess recovered and told her story, which. In her own writing, will be added to this record. The bodies of the dead were brought j on deck and sewed into canvas and later. I with appropriate services, placed In the i .lolly boat, it being the Intention, later on. j to tow the boat behind us Mr. Turner I insisted that the bodies be buried at sea ! and, on the crew opposing this, retired to his cabin, announcing that he considered the position of the men as mutiny. Some feeling having arisen among the women of the party that I might know more of the crimes than was generalh I supposed, having been In the after house j at the time tiiey were committed ami j having no references. I this afternoon vol-1 untarily surrendered myself to Burns, acting first mate The melt, however, re-1 fused to accept this surrender, only two, Adams and McNatnara, favoring it. 1 ex pect to give myself up to the police at thei nearest port until the matter is thorough ly probed.
