10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Caring for Fine Laces The delicate witchery of soft laces i» known to every true woman. Wit ness how they are used to give a soft •nd feminine grace to morning, after noon and evening gowns. What the lace collar and cuff do to the tailor made suit is simply marvelous. It is the lace frill and the jabot that makes us look back longingly to the cavaliers, "Ah. they were handsome fellows!" we say, hut after all isn't it just the touch of lace they wore that holds our eyes? The lace'curtain at door and window or the lace spread on the couch or the Pattenburg center piece or the Irish torchon border 011 the lunch table af fects us the same way. All women long to have and to use lace in every prac tical form and the desire is not so ex travagant as it seems for lace lasts a wonderfully long while if you give it the consideration it deserves and the careful cleaning T am about to describe. The silk laces, especially the white silk laces, need to be wrapped in blue tissue paper when not in use. This color has bleaching qualities and keeps the yellow tingo at bay. There are some "don'ts" that apply to all laces. One is do not rub soap on lace. When ready to clean lace, first make a heavy, but mild, suds. Add borax, ammonia, or some soap powder to the water to soften it. Have a soft, old rush at hand. Now cover a big bot tle with a heavy cloth and pin the lace on this, spread every point out carefully and fasten firmly. T'se plenty of pins, but not steel ones; they rust. Thrush the lace with the suds, but do not rub hard. Rinse in clear water, tinted light blue with indigo, and dry on the bottle, without un-pinning. Very long pie.es of lace or lace shawls and throws may bp pinned, as r i riir classified columns of the Star-Independ ; ent will help you in your- selection of a house, j apartment, office, lot, farm or garage.

D. C., Nov. 16.—Mem i bers of the delegation which went to! the White House last week with a! protest against race segregation in j government departments laid their) ■ ases before a mass meeeing of negroes 1 here yesterday. The meeting adopted a | formal protest to the American people i against "the pronounced tendency in American law and public opinion to I draw the color line." "We inake this appeal at this' time, said the statement, "because | if has been ascertained by us from the highest authority in the nation] that it is the policy ot' the Kederal government to draw the color line to what the newspapers of the country denominate and deuoimee as 'Jim Crow government.' " HUNTS A WEEK CRIPPLED • Dislocated Ann Strapped to Side, Man of 74 Has It Set on Return Bellefonte, Now 16. —Falling from * camp box, Isaac Miller. 74 years old, a member of a Bellefonte deer- j hunting party in the Alleghenies, dis located his left shoulder last Sunday. So eager was he to get a shot at "a : deer that he refused to listen to friends! and go home, but strapped tiie upper! part of his arm to his body and hunt- j e'd all ■neck. Saturday afternoon he walked six' miles to tiie nearest settlement and j Sunday night was brought home, 40 ! miles, by automobile. The dislocated l arm was set, and he is little the worst I for t ic experience, though the party | *;ot no Jeer. ■ directed, or sewed on a curtain stretcher. First put on a sheet or othdr white cloth and fasten the lace to this. If very delicate use the finger tips in place of the brush, for the actual cleaning, and How the rinsing water over it until it runs off clear. A sunny porch is a good place for lace cleaning as it will dry there quickly. Professional clea,ners use benzine and chloroform -and gasoline for this work but the average womau is not successful in getting out the tell-tale odor and often these substances harm the fabric. If the ivory white color, so prized in old laces is desired, never use cold ten to obtain it, for tlie tea stains. A few tablespoons of cold coffee added to the rinsing water, omitting the bluing, is better. The lace must lie in this some time. Laces should not be starched, they are not intended to be stiff and hard but sometimes a littlp stiffening is needed in curtains and then add the ecru or ivory coloring (cold coffee) to the starch. I press the blond or nets, so much used now t'or ruchings, between my fingers or turn the iron upside down and draw them over it gently. The heavy hand-worked pieces should be laid on a soft, very thick pad and pressed on the wrong side. The laces that are washed and dried on the bot tle or on the stretcher will not need ironing. You can shape these with the fingers and use a crochet needle or stilleto to open the pearls and loops and raise the openings clear. If lace is only dusty and not grimv | sprinkle it well with French chalk and jroll it up in white paper for twentv j four hours, then shake well and it will be clean.

HARRTSBURfi STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16. 1914. *,,, M „ » Heiketh PrichArd Continued "Had Miss Vlrginuy any jewelry on ber?" asked Joe. "A wateb and a necklace." "What value?" "Sereii or eight hundred dollars." "Huh."' said November reflectively. "Anfl what did you do after finding her bal "We trailed the two villains until they got ou to some rocky-ground. It was 100 dark then to do more, so we returned. Klve thousand dollars if you lay hands on them," be said. By the river the truces were so plain that any one could read tlieiu—the slender feet of the victim and the larger fooiprinls of the two men. The fishing rod. snapped off toward the top of the middle joint, had been left where it bad fallen. It seemed as if the girl bad tried to defend Herself with it. Next we went to the lake. November literally nosed his way along. The mor-casioed tracks of the two men showed faintly here and there 011 the softer parts of the ground. •Looks as if they was toting some thing," said Joe. "They must 'a' car ried her. Stop! They set her down here for a spell." Another moment brought us over the rise aud in sight of Mooseshank. lake I halted involuntarily. The place seem ed created for the scene of a tragedy. November had pushed on to the spot where footprints aud other signs show ed where the men had entered the ca noe. The deep slide of a moceasined foot In the mud seemed to tell of the effort It required to get the girl em barked. "The.v took her out on the lake anil murdered her:" groaned Plan*. "Drag sing'i There's lo u>e dragging, thai water goes plumb down to the root o! ihe world " After that ive went around to the other side of the lake and saw the beached canoe. The two sets of moc oasined tracks showed clearly on the strip of mud by ihe water, but' were soon lost iD the tumbled debris of a two-year-old stouy landslip over which trailing appeared quite impossible. No rem bar was busy about this landing place for a longer time than I expect ed. then he crossed the landslide at right angles and disappeared from our view. Soon he came hurrying to ward us. "She isn't dead " "What?" "Anyways, she wasn't when she passed here. I hare a proof iu>re ttoat yon will think mighty good." He drew out a little leather case I h.id given him and extracted from it a long hair of a beautiful red gold color. "Look at that. 1 toutid it in the spruces above there." Plans took It gently in his great fingers. He was visibly iiiueb moved For a few seconds be held it without bpeaking, then, "That grew oti Vir ginia's he;id. sure enough. Joe. Is it possible my girl is alive?" "She is. sure! Don't be a feared, i You'll soon have news of her. I can promise .von that, Mr. Plans. This wasn't no case of murder. It's just an abduction. They'd never be such fools as to kill her. They're cuter than that, isn't she your daughter'/ They'll hold her to big ransom. That's their game." An ugly look came into Plaux's eyes. "That's their game, is it? I'm not a man that if is easy to milk dollars from," said be. By this time it was growing too dark for Joe to work any loucer. We crossed the lake with Plans, and that j night Joe and 1 camped near the end dt Mooseshnnk lake, where a stream flowed from ft. At dawn, while we were having breakfast, Joe stood up and stared into the trees that grew thick behind us. As he called out l looked back j and saw the indistinct figure of a man In their shadow watching us. lie beckoned, and we approached him. I saw he was young, with a pale face aud rather shabby town made clothes "Don f you remember Walter Cal vey, November?" be said, holding out his hand. "I was with you and Mr. | Plan* and—and—her last year in the woods." "Huh. yes. and what are you doing j here. Mr. Cal vey ?" asked Joe, shaking ' hands. "I heard about Virginia. How could I keep away after that?" exclaimed Calve.v. "You've no cause to fret yet" said I Joe. "What? When they've killed her: I'll go with you and if we can find ! those"— "Huh: She's not dead! Take my ! word for it!" Joe's gray eyes gave nr.- s roguish took. "Why. I've got a thing I here In my pocket book yon'd give me | SIOO for!' He held the red gold hair j up to the light of the rising sun. Cslvey shook from head to foot. "Virginia's! You couldn't And its ! , match in Canada: Tell me"- "I can't wait to tell you and ,rou can't wait to bear Light out now. j Old man Pianx could make It un -1 healthy for TOU " ' "Tou're right! He hates me because | Virginia won't marry Schelperg of the combine. He hasn't let ns meet for months And more than that, he's ; ruined me and my partner in business It was easy for « rich man to ,dy that." added Calvey bitterly. "Tou go and start into business again." advised Joe. "I'll send you word first thing 1 know for certain." But it was some time before he could ! induce Calvey to leave us. After he bad gone I wondered whether Joe sus pected him of haviug a hand in spirit ing away Virginia. Presently I asked him. Joe shook his head. "He couldn't have done it if lie wanted to. He's a good young chap, but look nt his boots and bis clothetw-he was bred on a pave ineut, but he's .Miss Virginny's choice for all that. We'll start now. Mr. Qnaritcb, just where I found that bit of gold caught in a branch that bangs over the little stream up above there. You see. she lost her hat. and she has a splendid lot of hair, and so when I could find no tracks, for they came down the bed of thestream. I searched 'bout as high as her head. I guessed she'd be liable to catch her hair in a branch." But we had hardly started when we heard the vobe of Plans roaring in the wood below us. He was comiug along at an extraordinary pace in spite of bis ungainly, rolling stride. "You were right. Joe: Virginia Is alive! It is a case of abduction. See what I have here." He held a long stick or wand in his band. The top of the wand was rough ly split, and a scrap of paj>er stuck in the cleft "Ed's just found this in the canoe on the lake." he went on. "These black guards must have come back in the night, and put it there." "What have they said In the paper?" asked November. " 'You must pay to get your daughter back. If you want our terms come to the old log camp on Black lake to morrow night. No tricks. We have you rontided up/stire. Don't try to track us or we will make it bad for her.' " Joe touched the ends of the wand. "Green spruce wood, cut near their camp." said he. "There's plenty of spruce like that right here." objected Planx: "why do you Kay it was cut near their camp?" "it's cut :wd split with a heavy ax. such as no man ever carries about with him Weil, we'd best do no more tracking til! we see rhe chaps that has Miss Virglnny. It's Black lake tonight, then?"' On the way Planx tnade known to us his plan of campaign. It was a simple one. He would get the men into the hut and speak rhom fair till a favorable moment presented itself, ■when he would demand the surrender of his daughter übder threat of shoot ing tho kidnapers if the.v refused or demurred "There are three of us. and we can fix them easy." said Planx. November .loe shook bis bead. "They're not near such big fools as you think them." he remarked Wo had stopped on some high ground in the shelter of tile woods from which we could see the fishing hut Joe van- Pi IIIMF* HI I'M ll'/ !U i\ At the Third Bwing of the Light a Voice Hailed Him.

As we entered the door I saw Joe was pointing to a piece of paper which lay on the rough hewn bible. "The same wilting as before. Listen to this: "If you will swear to give us safe conduct we will come to talk it out. If you agree to this wave the lan tern three times on the lake shore, and that will mean you give your oath to let us come and go freely.' " "1 told you they were not fools." said .loe. "What's the orders now. Mr Planx?" Planx handed Joe ihe lantern. "Go and wave the lantern." From the door of the hut we watched November as he walked down to the lake. At the third swing of the light P. voice hailed liinj. "You bear? They were waiting In a canoe," said Planx to me. Then followed the splash of paddles and the rasp of the frosted rushes as the canoe took the shore. Joe had re turned by this time and hung up tho lantern so that, it lit the whole of the but. Then the three of us stood to gether at one side of the table. CHAPTER IX. •'Come in, dear Joe." OL'R visitors hesitated outside the door "There are«only two of them." whispered Planx. As he spoke a short, bearded tunu in a thick oven-coat stepped into the light, followed by a tail and strongly built companion.

"Kveniu"." said ihe tall man. who was throughout the spokesman "My partner and me is come to make you an offer. Mr. Planx.
