THE BURGLAR ESCAPES. <

CHAPTER LXIV. •
I_IETTY,had also been awakened by (
* Ahe storm, and when I screamed ■
was already at my door. Contrary
to my custom when Everett was not !
at home, it was unlocked. She rushed I,
in, exclaiming: .
“What is it, Mrs. Graham? Has ,
the storm frightened you?” • *.
“Oh, yes—l am so frightened!”!,
I replied, my teeth chattering with i
fear—but not of the storm.
“Shall I close the window?”
That must have been the way the
burglar entered—by the window. It
flashed through my mind that if we
closed the window it might cut off
his escape, and he might do some
thing desperate.
“No, it would stiflling,” I re
plied, trying to make my tone cas
ual, and succeeding better than I
would have imagined. z i
“Shall I stay with you until the
storm is over?” i
“Please do—no, don’t turn on the
lights.” She had moved toward the
switch. I held my breath for fear
I had not spoken quickly enough. Al
though when I had cast a glance to
ward the crouching figure, he had
drawn further back of the cur
tains. I
Hetty sat down near the bed, but
I did not derive much comfort from
her presence. Suddenly I knew I
would not be able to keep quiet any
longer I would scream out the
truth, that there was a man in the
room.
I jumped out of bed.
“Come, Hetty! I can’t stand this
storm any longer. Let’s go up to
Mrs. Gray’s room,” and Hetty fol
lowing close on my heels, I ran
staggering from the room.
- I clung to Hetty’s hand as we rush
ed up the stairs. Mrs. Gray had
not heard my cry fori Hetty, but was
awake because of the storm and let
us in immediately.
“Shut the door—quick!” I panted.
Then “Lock it!” to Hetty. She did so
while I sank onto a chair and cov
ered my face with my hands for a
moment. I could scarcely speak. I
was so frightened.
“There’s a man down there!" I
finally gasped.
“Down where?” Mrs. Gray asked,
paying her hand on my shoulder.
“In my room—behind the curtains,
I saw him when it lightened so that
I the room was bright as day.”
“But why—”
“Oh, I was afraid to call you ’ I
stood it as long as I could. Then
called Hetty and .pretended it was
because of the storm—that I was
i frightened of that.
Mrs. Gray had been putting on
some clothes as I talked.
“Oh, where are you going?” I cried
! as she moved toward the door.
“To call James (the butler), 1
wish Thomas were here.”
When she left the room Hetty and
I followed her out upon the landing.
She crept silently down the back
stairs, her feet making no sound as
she moved cautiously along in the
dark.
I hung on to Hetty’s hand, as we

crouched there, waiting for some
thing to happen.
When it did, it was the unexpected.
James had gone outside and seen
the, ladder left by the burglar, taken
from the back of the garage, and had
removed it; and at the very time!
Mrs. Gray was going down the back
shairs, James-was coming up the
front ones. He had been out late—
taking advantage of Everett being
away—and saw the ladder when he
came in.
We heard the exclamation of the
burglar, then the noise of a scuffle,
then a shot. In a moment something
rushed past us into the open door
of Mrs. Gray’s room. We heard the
click as he turned the key in the
lock, then noises we could not un
derstand. But we paid no attention.
When we heard the shot, we also
heard Mrs. Gray’s voice, and while
the strange noises were going on in
the room we fearfully crept back
' down the stairs in the direction
from which it came. She was stand
' ing over the butler, who was lying on
the floor in Everett’s dressing room.
There was a door leading from my
room into this room, then another
into Everett’s sleeping room, so that'
one did not have to go out in the hall
to get from one to the other.
i “Is he hurt?” I asked—“ And
where’s that man?”
“That must have been him going
into Mrs. Gray’s room,” Hetty said.
“Yes, James is hurt—not danger-;
ously though, I think. The bullet hit:
his shoulder. Telephone for a doctor.|
Hetty, and I’ll call the police as soon j
as you get him. It is more neces-!
sary that this bleeding be stopped,
than that the burglar be caught.”
The doctor and the officer arrived
at almost the same time,
“Oh, how I wish Everett were
here,” I moaned. “Or that I had gone!
with him. What a day!”

“Well,” responded the intrepid

“What is a blimp, then, ma

Without a moment’s hesitation
lie replied:
“A blimp is a fileted rigid.”

FIND CREEL FAMILY WEALTH
Two Million Pesos Was Turned Over J
to Mexican Government for
Identification.
Mexico City.—When representatives ‘
of the famous Creel family of Chi- ,
huahja recently appeared before the
government officials here with requests
for information regarding the where
abouts of mining, railway and other
valuable stock valued at close to22- 1
000,000 pesos, they were astonished to '
learn that the stock, as well as about
2,000,000 pesos in paper money, was
held by the national treasury for iden
tification of ownership and that it only
had been discovered a few months ago.
According to published accounts,
workmen, while cleaning out a spare
room in the building used by the fed
eral district government; found a score
of locked boxes which contained the
paper money and shares. Neither tlie
governor of the federal district, Gen.
Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court,
after guarded investigations, could
determine who owned the treasure, so
it was turned over in trust to tlie
national treasury. ’
The theory is that during the first
revolutionary troubles which resulted
in the downfall of Porfirio Diaz the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to a
private residence of the Creels here
and that when the Zapatistas first en
tered Mexico City they were placed In
charge of the federal district govern
ment.
The Creel representative stated that
a large sum of metallic currency and
I a valuable collection of jewels also
were being sought, but of these easily
realizable riches no trace has been dis
covered. ,
WAR ALTERS BRITISH YOUTH
Flippancy of Modern Young Men
Rather Upsets Their Staid and
Dignified Elders.
London. —What has happened to our
conversational manners? The war has
altered them, but while some people
consider that it has improved them
others think it has sent them to tlie
dogs. The only point of agreement is
; that they are different from what they
| used to be.
For instance, the elderly managing
director of a sedate city company was
a little surprised the other day when I
Major Crasher, the stockbroker, lately
demobilized from the R. A. F., ended
a business talk over the telephone
| with the phrase: “Righto, my dear
■ old bean!”
Was that familiar style of address
j to be considered “quite all right," and,
in fact, rather agreeable, or something
| the reverse?
Then the young lady clerk who used
i to be in the war office rings her mothec
! up from the city and exclaims : “Hello,
old thing! I shall be going to the the
ater tonight, so don’t wait up. Ta-ta,
old creature!”
The young man who was in the O.
T. C. slaps his father on tlie back and !
says: “I say, old china, why don’t !
you get a few new clothes? Trim j
yourself up a bit—eh? You’d do with
I a new’hat, too. Rotten old hat you’ve
| got. Well, so long, old boy. Now, hop
off, old sport, or you’ll miss that train.”
Did our great-grandfathers address
our great-great-grandfathers in that
cheerful but familiar style after their ;
return from the battle of Waterloo!

The Tractor That Stays
IT is pretty generally accepted now that
the farm power of the future will be
generated by kerosene and other low-grade, low
. priced fuels. A tractor that operates successfully
on tnese fuels, insuring dependable power at draw
bar and belt, is the tractor that will stay because it
will pay.
International 8-16 Tractor
has established its reputation for satisfactory per
formance in the school of experience. It has
passed successfully through long and rigid tests
under actual field conditions in all sections of the
country.
Belt work is becoming more and more imiMJrtant.
The use of small threshers, ensilage cutters, etc.,
combined with a suitable tractor, is making the
farmer more and more independent.
All of. this emphasizes the value to you of an
International 8-l(> tractor that is designed to do
tip-top belt work as well as taking care of field and
road jobs. -
