Grauel Continued From "Time Is Money" An old wardrobe makes a very good! closet to ln>|il the cleaning utensils you* need upstairs at len.st onee a wed- and sometimes ot'tcner. It is an easy matter! to put a shelf across the upper part to hold a bottle of glue or mucilage, a bottle of kerosene, —for cleaning the! bath tub —cleaning soap, brushes and; brooms. This brings us back to where; we stopped yesterday, when we said 1 every housekeeper should have several brooms if she is to work efficiently. It. is mighty poor business management to i keep house with only one brooui. When you want to dust the walls and: ceilings you must stop and tie a bag over the broom straws and then remove this when you are ready to sweep again. Have several brooms, use the worn one for the paths and the porches and the newest one for the heaviest work in the house. The light broom, with a| carpet sweeper, will be just right for bed rooms and for rugs. A small long handled broom, known as a child's broom, will reach into corners and un der heavy pieces of furniture and save you much stooping and lifting. There are some places only a dust or whisk broom will reach into. Some of these small brooms are made with sharp' points tor just such dusty corners ami! their cost is very little. For cornices and dusting down walls have a long handled, soft, hair brush; this holds the dust it removes and can be washed, if it is well made. Do not have a feather duster for these are most troublesome; they only stir up | WHAT ARE YOU 3 | SEEKING?

A cheesecloth duster slightly dump or an oiled cloth will take up the dust and hold it. Flannelette is good too, hut nothing is better than an old bit of velveteen. The nap 011 this catches every particle of dust and it can be washed many times. A dustless mop is the thing for hard wood; if they are polished it must be moistened a very little with kerosene, but for painted floors dip the mop in weak ammonia water and wring almost dry. The oiled mops are made by dipping a new fluffy mop in paraftine oil and wringing them very dry oflce in six months. This oil is to be had at hard ware or drug stores and is fluid and not the same as paraftine wax. It is quite remarkable how long brooms, mops and brushes last when they are kept for certain rooms and floors. If you have the good habit of keeping expense books you know you do not often have to buy new utensils of this sort. Another thing that is worth remembering about brooms and mops is to'always hang them head up when putting them away. You can buy a broom holder, and 11 mop hook, for five cents each that will last as long as you live and you will never have a brooui spread or a mop mould while you use them. When sweeping matting, Brussels carpet, or any floor covering with a nap, sweep with it and always run the carpet sweeper iu the direction the nap lies. This helps greatly to prolong the life of your carpeting. fIARRTSBURfi STAR-INDEPENDfiNT, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29. 1914. THE AFTER HOUSE A Story of Love. Mystery and a Private Yacht By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART Ctpyrtfhl, 1913, ky the MtClurt PuMtatttns, tut, Lfyrtgki, 1914, ky Mary Rjbtrtj Rim*kart. J I Continued "What did .> ...

"1 was ill and forgot I'd like to j know what right you tin re going! through a person's things— and taking 1 what yiyi want!" The stewardess was excused, tl.e de fense having scored perceptibly. It I was clear what line the young .lew 1 intended to follow. Oleson. the Swede, was called next I and after the usual formalities; "Where were you between midnight ; and 4 a. m. on the morning of Aug. 12?" < "In the crow's nest of the Ella." | "State what you saw between mid night and 1 o'clock." "I saw Mate Singleton walking ou the forecastle head. Every now and then he went to the rail. He seemed j to be vomiting. It was too dark to see much. Then he went aft along the; port side of the house and came for ward agaiu ou the starboard side. He, went to where the ax was^iept." "Where was that?" "Near the starboard corner of the forward house. All the Turner boats have an emergency box. with an ax and other tools, iu easy reach. The officer on watch carried the key." "Could you see what be was doing'/" "No; but he was fumbling at the box. 1 I beard him." "Where did he go after that?" "He went aft." "You could not see him?" "I didn't look. 1 thought I saw something white moving below me. and 1 was watching it." "This white thing—what did it look like?" "Like a dog. 1 should say. It moved about and then disappeared." "How?" "1 don't understand." "Over the rail?" "Oh—no. sir. It faded away." "Had you ever heard talk among the meu of the Klin being a haunted ship?" "Yes. but not nutil after I'd signed | on her." "Was there smile talk of this 'white' thing?' " "Yes." "Before the murders?" "No. sir; not till after. I guess 1 saw ; it first." "What did the meu say about it?" j "They thought it scared Mr. Schwartz i overboard. The Ella's been unlucky as to crews. They call her a 'devil J ship.'" "liid you see Mr. Singleton ou deck J between - and ii o'clock?" "No. sir.' The cross examination was very short: "What sort of night was it?" "Very dark." "Would the first mate as officer on watch be supposed to see that the emergency case jou speak of was in order?" "Yes, sir." "Did the officer on watcn leiuain on the forecastle head?" "Mr. Schwartz did not; Mr. Singleton did mostly, except when lie went back to strike the bells." "Could Mr. Singleton have been on deck without you seeing him?" "Yes. if he did not move around or smoke. 1 could see his pipe lighted." "Did you see his pipe that night?" ) "No. sir." "If you were sick, would you be likely to smoke?" This question, I believe, was ruled out. "In case the wheel of the vessel j were lashed for a short time, what would happen?" "Depends 011 the weather. She'd he likely to come to or full off consider-1 able." "Would the lookout know it?" "Yes. sir." "How ?" "The sails would show it, sir." That closed the proceedings for the day. The crowd seemed reluctant to disperse. Turner's luwyers were in troubled consultation with him. Single-1 ton was markedly more cheerful, and I : thought the prosecution looked per- i turbed and uneasy. I went back to j jail that night, and dreamed of Elsa— 1 not as I had seen her that day. bending , forward, watching every point of the 1 evidence, but as I had seen her so j often on the yacht, faciug into the salt • breeze as if she loved itr her hands ; In the pockets of her short white jacket, her hair blowing back from her forehead in damp, close curling rings. | CHAPTER XIV. "A Bad Woman." JONES was called! If I first on the second day of tliej trial. He gave his place of I > t birth as Pennsylvania and his present shore address as a sailors' 1 Christian horae in New York. He of- j fered without solicitation the informa tion that he had been twenty-eight j years in the Turner service and could have been "at the top." but preferred ; the forecastle so that he could be an influence to the men. His rolling gait, twinkling blue eyes ' and huge mustache, as well as the plug of tobacco which he sliced with 11 huge knife, put the crowd in good 1 humor «nd relieved somewhat the. somberness of the proceedings. "Where were you between midnight j and 4 a. m. on the morning of Aug. 12?" "At the wheel." "You did not leave the wheel during I that time?" "Yes. sir." "When was that?" "After tliey found the captain's body. I went lo the forward J'ompau ion and looked down." "Is a helmsman permitted to leave bis post?" "With the captain lying dead in a pool of blood 1 should' think"— "Never mind thinking. Is he?" "No." "What did you do with the whee» when you left it?" "Lashed it. There are two rope ends with loops to lash it with. Wbe& 1 was on the Sarah Winters"- "Stick to the question. Did you see j the mate. Mr. Sicfeleloj, during yoin %at'-h*" "Every half hour from P2.3U to 1.30. He struck the beUs. After that he said he was sick. He I houglil he'd j been poisoued. He said ho was going) forward to lie dowu aad for me to j strike them." "Who struck the bell at 3 o'clock?" "1 did. sir." "When did you hear a woman scron m ?" "Just before that." "What did you do?" "Nothing. It was the Ilausen wo man. 1 didn't like her. She was a nad j "With the captain lying dead in a pod of blood I should think" — woui.tii When 1 told ber what she was she laughed." "Were you ever below in the aftet { house?" "No. sir: not since the boat was fixed i up." "What could you see through the window beside the wheel?" "It looked into tile chart room if the light was on I could see all but j the floor." "Between the hours of 1 a. m. and 3 a. m. ilid any one leave or enter the after bouse by the alter companion?" , "Yes. sir. Mr. Singleton went down into the chart, room aud cutrit back again in five <«|-leu minutes." "At what titr "At four ber/- o'clock." "No one j" "No. sir: biv I saw Mr. Turner"— "Confine y urself to the question, j What was Jr. Singleton's manner at the time yiy mention?" "He was Xcited. He brought up a bottle of w isky from the chart room table aud rank what WHS left in it. Then he muttered something aud threw thf impty bottle over the rail. He said / * was still sick." The cr< i examination confined itself to one «? ail of Charlie Jones's testi mony. "Did iu. between midnight and 3 a. m.. } any one iu the chart room besides he mate?" "Yes »Ir. Turner." "Yo say you cannot see into the chart >om from the wheel at night.; How fl you see him?" "H Aimed on the light. He seemed to b » ticking for something." "i She dressed?" 7 I. sir." •f h you describe what he wore?" ! " L sir. His coat was off. He bad : a Ite shirt and a white vest." 'ere tbe shirt and vest similar to tl t I show you?"' lost of them things look alike to j i Yes. sir." he defense had scored again. But it j.-I'ered at tbe hands of Burns, the next witness. 1 believe the prosecu tion bad intended to call Turner at this time: but. after a whispered conference with Turner's attorneys, they made a j change. Turner, indeed, was in no con- ] dltion to go on the stand. He was pallid and twitching, aud his face was 1 covered with sweat. Burns corroborated tbe testimony against Singleton—his surly temper, his outbursts of rage, bis threats against tbe captain. And he brought out a new point— that Jones, the helms- j man. bad been afraid of Singleton that night, and had nsked not to be left alone at the wheel. During tbis examination tbe protect!- j Hon for the dint time nutde clear their ! position: that the captain wns our- | dered first: that Vail ln!erf«r*o exclusive of his expenses.

I i Entire week of Nov. 2, Myrkle-Har- I der Stock Co., in a repertoire of ( successful plays; Monday after- i noon and evening, "Elevating a t Husband;'' Tuesday afternoon ] and evening, "The Girl of the 1 Colden West." j 1 OBPHEUM I Every afternoon and evening, high j class vaudeville. COLONIAL Daily continuous /audeville and pic tures. "Freckles" "Freckles," a lad famous in the pages of a most charming story writ ten by Gene Stratton-Porter, has ap peared now on the stage two success ful seasons in a dramatization of the book. The dramatist to undertake this somewhat difficult work was Noil Twomev, and he has succeeded in put ting behind the footlights much of the quaintness of the story. "Freckles" I will be presented at the Majestic this j afternoon and evening. Adv. "The Charming Widows" Eddie Dale, a clever German coinedi | an, is the chief fun maker with the | "Charming Widows" at the Majestic to-morrow matinee and night and he I ' is ably assisted by Sam C'arleton, Bobby i i Ferns, Lillian English, Pauline Palmer, Bessie Miller, Harry Peterson and Joe j j Dolan. The chorus is composed of ' i twenty pretty and shapely girls and i i they appear in eighteen song numbers I | which are scattered throughout the ac j j tion of the show. The costuming of the j chorus is a big feature of the show.! the costumes being new and exception-1 ally pretty. The two big feature acts j which will be presented in conjunction ! with the show are: "The Dance of the First Sin" and Princess Ka in "The] | Mystery of the Nile," an oriental dance ! with picturesque stage settings. Adv. • "Elevating a Husband" "Elevating • a Husband," Louis! Mann's starring vehicle, is'to be the j j opening play by the Myrkle-Harder I Company at the Majestic theatre both I Monday afternoon and evening. The 1 seat sale will start to-morrow and seats j ! may be secured for the entire week, j This play is as full of laughs as Europe j j is of war and ran for one entire year i in New York City. Miss Mvrkle, the leading lady of the ] company, made a hcst of friends dur-! ing her last engagement in Harrisburg and every day phone calls are coming ; in congratulating Manager Hopkins of j the Majestic in securing this cleve' - company for a week's engagement. Adv. j At the Orpheum No formal invitations have been sent ' out for the Orpheum's Halloween par j jty, as yet. They're not going to send i j any out either, Manager Hopkins says. 1 The fact that a great bill of Keith hits 1 !is here this week, an offering that | comprises four big city headliners, to i gether with the festive hue the whole playhouse has taken on, is sufficient j evidence that there is going to be some j celebration 'round on Locust street on Saturday evening. It is doubtful it' the popular playhouse ever looked pret tier than it does decked out in its Hal i loween dress. Orange and black are ! artistically arranged throughout the theatre anil then there are many of | the wierd black cats and shocks of corn i and Jack-o'-lanterns. But the party will have its crowning I festivities Saturday evening, when ; girls desirious of seeing their future husbands, are to march down the aisle I backwards, likewise the boys; all will be invited to bob for apples some of ■ i which will contain passes for the Or pheum, and the entire audience is in- I vited to attend in masquerade costumes. After the regular performance the cos | turned guests will be invited upon the stage to let the audience pick the most artistic and the most comical "cre ations." Prizes will be awarded the I winner of each class. A midnight election matinee is being 1 announced by the management for next , Tuesday night. Tickets for this special 1 matinee are now on sale. By the time this second Orpheum performance is | over, everybody will have heard all the 1 important returns and will know who Pennsylvania's next Governor is. Adv. At the Colonial The fact that the improved vaude ville attractions are now being present ed at'the Colonial makes the "Busy Corner" a very attractive place to spend a few hours for two evenings each week, or two afternoons for that matter, for the vaudeville bills are changed entirely each Monday and Thursday, and the moving picture fea tures are entirely new every day. The vaudeville attractions are all" Keith acts and they are presented one after the other without a picture interrupting, until the vaudeville is shown. The moving picture program is shown be fore and after the vaudeville. To-day O 'Brien Dennett and Gosler, the come dian and pretty girl, will offer a spirit ed and clever vocal and piano turn; Hayes and Alpoint, will offer their hilarious knockabout tumbling act; Dean and Fay, a clever young couple, meeting with much success in a skit with songs called "The College Fresh ie," are to appear also, and LaSalle and Raymond, singing and dancing comedian, complete the roster.
