10 Ijfr HOUSEHOLD Ipl TALKS Comfort Out of Doors Row much enjoyment we plan to lia\e iii our outdoors when the weather once more permits. At present we are wishing for summer sunshine and prom ising ourselves to do great things toward making our porches and yards attractive next season. The time to be gin is now. As a nation we have too many yards and too few gardens: we not use our gardens because they are ugly and they are ugly because we are indifferent to their possibilities. No matter how artistic an interior of a house may be if it is not cor respondingly handsome without, much comfort and beauty is being sacrificed. Jn other words the house and its sur rouudings should be one continuous de sign. The porch, the stoop or the ver anda should be the connecting link. Now, while the trees are bare, and no friendly vines soften rough outlines, is the best time to decide wherein your home can be improved. There are vines that keeip their leaves through the year and many shrubs, like the holly and rhododendron and Japanese cedars that are evergreen. These planted about your home seem almost alive when you have watched and helped them grow a few seasons and they shorten winter wonderfully. Look about your home now while all is cold and bare and you will see many CHILDREN HUNG BY THUMBS Father and Stepmother in Jail on Cruelty Complaint Easton, Pa., Jan. 9.—Charged with cruelty to the father's children, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cortright, of Martin's Creek, were committed to jail Thurs day night in default of SI,OOO bail ea« h. The complaint was made by 'H. B. Cortright, of Belvidere, N. J., grand father of the children, Elizabeth, aged 7 years, and Russell, aged 5 years.

(CONTINUED.) "An alibi? Why on earth, then, did you follow me? What is your alibi?" "Never mind now. \V> should still be in this miserable cellar." —briefly. What a night! A am so ashamed: I shall be horribly compromised." "I'll take the brunt of it all. I'm sorry; but, for the love of Heaven, don't cry. or 1 shall lose what little nerve I have left." "I am not crying!" she denied em phatically. "My inclination is to shriek with laughter. I'm hysterical. At,d who wouldn't bt, with police of ficers and cells staring one in mm j face? Let us be going. That police- I man outside win presently hear ua whispering if we stand here nmcb longer." There was wisdom in this So, ! once again I took the candle, and we marched back. There wasn't a sin gle Jest left in my whole system, and It didn't look as if there was ever Roing to be another supply. We took ; the oiher side of the furnace, and at ! length came to a flight of wooden stairs, leading somewhere into the club. It was our last chance, or we ' should be obliged to stay all night In some bin; for it would not be long be fore thev searched the cellars. If this flight led into the kitchen, we were saved, for I could bluff the serv- j ants. We paused. Presently we as- | cended, side by side, with light but firm step. We reached the landing in front of the door without mishap. From somewhere came a puff of air which blew out the candle. I struck Instantly the Door Opened, and a Po liceman Popped His Head— • match viciously against the wall— and blundered into a string of cook ing-pans! It was all over, the agony of suspense! Blang! Rumpity - bumplty - blang blang! I have heard many stage thunders In my time, but that racket beat any thing ami everything this side of siege guns. Instantly the* door opened and a po liceman loked his head in. Before I had time ;o move, he grabbed me by the arm and yanked me—into the ball room! The girl and I had made a complete circuit of the cellars, and had stumbled into the 'oall-room again by the flight opposite to that by which we left it. Cheerful prospect, wasn't It" The adventure had ceased to have any droll side to It. "Aha!'' cried the base minion of the la* "Here you are. then! Hello, everybody! Hello!" he bawled. Caught! Here we were, ihe Blue Domino and myself, the Grey Capu chin. both of us in a fine fix. Dis covery and ejection I could have stood with fortitude and equanimity; but tht.e was bad business afoot. There wasn't any doubt in my mind what was going to happen. As the girl said, there would be flaring head-lines and horrid pictures. We were like to be the newspaper sensation of the day. Arrested and lodged in jail! What would my rich, doting old uncle say to that, who had threatened to dis inherit me for lesser things! I felt terribly sorry for the girl, but it was now utterly Impossible to help her, for I couldn't help myself. And behold! The mysterious stran ger I had met in the curlo-shop. the fellow who had virtually haunted me for six hours, the fellow who had mas queraded as Caesar, suddenly loomed up before me. still wearing his sardon ic smile. At his side were two more policemen. He had thrown aside his toga and was in evening dress. His keen glance rested on me. "Here he is, Mr. Haggerfty!" cried the policeman cheerfully, swinging me around. A d&tective! And Heaven help me, he b«Ueved me to be the thief! Oh, for Aladdin's lamp! CHAPTER VI. I stood with folded arms, awaiting his approach. Nonchalance is always respected by tie police. 1 must have presented a liXely picture, however— my face blaokened with coaldust, cob webs stringing down over my eyes, my Capuchin gown soiled and rent. The girl quietly took her place beside me. "So you took a chance at the cel lars, eh?" inquired the detective ur banely. "Well you look It. Will you go with us quietly, or shall we have to use force?" "In the first place, what do you and your police want of me?" I returned coolly. He exhibited his star of authority. "I am Haggerty of the Central Of 9ce. I want you for several things." Several things? I stared at htm stupidly. Several things? Then It came to me, with a jar like an earth quake. The story In the newspaper returned to my vision. Oh. this was too much, altogether too much! He took me to be the fashionable thief for whom half (he New York police force were hunting. My sight swam for a moment in a blur. "What is It you think I have done?" I demanded. » "You have, or have had, several thousand dollars' worth of gems on your person to-night." I shrugged. The accusation was so turned. "Mr. Haggerty, you are making • stupid mistake. You are losing time, i besides. T am not the man for whom ! you are hunting. My name is Richard Cornstalk." "One name or another, it does not matter." "Plenty of gall." murmured one of 1 the minions of the law, whom I after ward learned was the chief of the vil lage police. | "The card by which you gained j admittance here," demanded the great Haggerty truculently. I surrendered it. A crowd had by this time collected curiously about us. I could see the musicians on the stag« ! peering over the plants. | "The thief you are looking for has j gone." said I. "He escaped by the coal window." By this statement my ! feet rank deeper still. "What did I tell you?" cried Hag gerty. turning to his men. had an accomplice hidden in the cellars." "I beg to inform you that you are | making a mistake that will presently ! cost you dear." —thinking of the polit- I icai pull my uncle had in New York. | "I am the nephew of Daniel Wither spoon." "Worse and worse! said the chief of police. "We shall discuss the mistake later and at length. Of course you can easily explain how you ca.ie to impose upon these people,"—ironically. "Bah! the game is up. When you dropped that card in Friard's and said you were go ing to a masquerade, I knew your game in a minute, and laid eyes upon you for the first t.me since I began the chase. I've been after you for weeks. Your society dodge has worked out. and I'll land you behind the bars for some time to come, my gay boy. Come."—roughly. "I request Mr. Hamilton to bo called. He will prove to you that you are greatly mistaken." Everything looked pretty black. I can tell you. "You will see whom you please, but only after you are safely landed in the lockup. Now, Madame," turning swiftly upon ttie Blue Domino, "what is your part in this fine business?" "It certainly has no part in yours," —icily. Haggerty smiled. "My skin is very thick. Do you know this fellow?" She shook her head. He stood un decided for a space. "T.et me see your card." j "I decline to produce it." —haughtily. Haggerty seemed staggered for a | moment. "I am sorry to annoy you, I but you must be identified at once." "And why?"—proudly. "Was it for bidden to go into the club cellars for such harmless things as apples?" Apples! I looked at her admiringly. "Apples?" repeated Haggerty. "Couldn't you have sent a servant for them?" She did not reply. "You were with this clever gentle man in the cellars. You may or may not be acquainted with him. I do not wish to do anything hasty in regard to yourself, but your position is rather equivocal. Produce your card and be identified —if you really can." "1 refuse!" "Then I shall ask you to accompany us to the hoom up stairs till the police patrol arrives." "I will go."—quietly. "Nonsense!" I objected. "On mv word of honor. I do not know this lady. Our presence in the cellar was perfectly harmless. There is no valid reason for detaining her. It is an out rage ! " "I am not going to stand here argu ing with you," said Hagerty. "Let the lady produce her card: let her dis close her identity. That is simple enough." "I have already given you my deter mination on that subject," replied the girl. "I can very well explain my pres ence here, but I absolutely decline to explain it to the police." I didn't understand her at all. She had said that she possessed an alibi. Why didn't she produce It? So the two of us left the gorgeous ball-room. Every one moved aside for us, and quickly, too., as if we had had the plague. I looked In vain for Ham ilton. lie was a friend in need. We were taken into the steward's office and the door was shut and locked. The b?.nd-in the ball-room went gal loping through a two-step, and the gaieiy was In full swing again. The thief had been rounded up! How the deuce was it going to end? "1 can not tell you how sorry I am to have mixed you up in this," I said to the girl. "You are in no manner to blame. Think of what might have happened had you blown up the post-office!" She certainly was the least embar rassed of the two of us. I addressed my next remark to the great Hag gerty. "Did you find a suitable pistol In Friard's?" "A man in my business," said Hag gerty mildly, "is often found in such p'aces. There are various things to be recovered in pawnshlps. The gen tleman of this club sent me the orig inal ten of hearts, my presence being necessary al such big entertainments. [C. E. AUGHINBAU6H | THE UP-TO-DATE PRINTING PLANT J. L. L.
