‘‘Because she didn’t go there."
"Where did she go, then?" Glider
queried, Wholly at a loss.
Once again the officer chuckled. It
was evident that he was well pleased
with his own ingenuity.
"Nowhere yet," he said at Iasi. "But,
just about the time he’s starting for
the West I’ll have her down at head
quarters. Pemarest will have her in
dicted before noon. She’ll go for trial in
afternoon And to-morrow night
she’ll be keeping up the river. * • •
That's where* she is going."
Gilder stood motionless for a moment.
After all. he was an ordinary citisen,
quite unfamiliar with the recondite
methods familiar to the police.
He Chuckled Again.
“But,” he said wonderingly, "you can
not do that."
The inspector laughed, a laugh of dis
ingenuous amusement, for he understood
perfectly the lack of comprehension on
the part of his hearer.
“Well," he said, and his voice sank
into a modest rumble that was none the
less thunderous. "Perhaps I can’t,"
he repeated. Then the chuckle catne
again, and he added emphatically: "But
1 will!" Suddenly his heavy face grew
hard Ills alert eyes shone fiercely, with
a flash of firs that was known to every
patrolman who had ever reported to the
desk when he was lieutenant. His heavy
Jaw shot forward aggressively as he
spoke.
"Think Fin going to let that girl make
a joke of the police det*ftrtmerit? Why,
I’m here to get her—to stop her any

how. Her gang is going to break into
your house to-night.”
"What?” Gilder demanded. "You
mean she’s coming here as a thief?”
"Not exactly," Inspector Burke con
fessed, “but her pals are coming to try
to pull off something right here. She
wouldn*t come, not if I know her. She
is too clever for that. Why, if she knew
what Garftoh was planning to do she’d
stop him."
The inspector paused suddenly. For a
long minute his face was seamed with
thought. Then, he smote his thigh with
a blow strong enough to kill an ox. His
face was radiant.
"By God! I’ve got her!” he cried.
The Inspiration for which he had longed
was his at last. He went to the desk
where the telephone was, and took up
the receiver.
"Give me 3100 Spring." he said. w\s
he waited for the connection lie smiled
widely on the astonished Gilder. " ’T
ain’t too iate," he said joyously. “I
must have been losing my mind not to
have thought of it before.’’ The impact
of sounds on his ear from the receiver
set him to attention.
"Headquarters?" he called. "Inspec
tor Burke speaking. Who’s in my of
flee? I want him quick." He smiled
as he listened, and he spoke again to
Gilder. "It’s Smith, the best man T have.
That’s luck, if you ask me.” Then again
he spoke into the mouthpiece of the tel
ephone
“Oh, Ed. send some one up to that
Turner woman. You have the address.
Just see that she Is tipped off that Joe
Carson and some pals are going tt» break
into Edward Gilder's house to-night
Get some stool-pigeon to hand her the
Information. You’d better get to work
damned quick. Understand?”
The Inspector nulled out that watch
of which Aggie Lynch had spoken so
avariciously, and glanced at it, then
went on speaking:
‘it's 10:30 ttow. She went to the
Lyric Theater with some woman. (Jet
her as she leaves, or find her back
tit her own place later. You’ll have to
hustle, anyhow. That’s all!"
The Flashlight.
The Inspector hung up the receiver
and faced his host with a contented
smile.
"What good will all that do?" Gil
der demanded, impatiently.
Burke explained with a satisfaction
natural to <*ne who had devised some
thing ingenious and adequate, This
inspiration filled him with delight. At
last he was sure of catching Mary
Turner herself in his toils.
'She’ll come to stop 'em." he said.
When we get the rest of the gang,
we’ll grab her. too. Why. I almost
forgot her, thinking about Gafkoft. Mr.
Gilder, you would hardly believe it.
but there’s scarcely been a real bit of
forgery worth while done in this
country for the last twenty years that
Garson hasn’t been mixed up In.
We’ve never once got him right in
all that time." The Inspector paused
to chuckle. "Crooks are funny,” he
explained with obvious contentment,
‘‘(’lever as he is, Garson let Griggs
talk him into a second-story job, and
now we ll get him with the goods.
• • * Just call your man for a min
ute. will you, Mr. Gilder?”
Gilder pressed the electric button
on his desk. At the same moment,
through the octagonal window came
a blinding flash of light that rested
for seconds, then vanished. Burke,
by no means a nervous man, never
theless was startled by the mysterious
radiance.
“What’s that?” he demanded, sharp
ly
"It’R the flashlight from the Metro
politan Tower,” Gilder explained with
a smile over the policeman’s perturba
tion. "It swings around this way
about every fifteen minutes. The ser
vant forgot to draw the curtains." As
he spoke, he went to the windows,
and pulled the heavy draperies close,
‘it won’t bother us again."
The entrance of the butler brought
the Inspector’s thought back to the
matter in hand.
‘ My man," he said, authoritatively,
“I Want you to go up to the roof and
open the scuttle. You’ll find some men
waiting up there. Bring ’em down
here."
The servant’s usually impassive
face showed astonishment, not un-
mixed with dismay, and he looked
doubtfully toward his master, who
nodded reassuringly.

P)EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 23 and have kept com
pany with a young man about
eight years my senior. Recently,
though, he treats me friendly
when we meet; he seems differ*
ent. He says I am the only one
he has ever loved. He Is a man
of good character and reputation,
and I like him very much.
CONSTANT READER.
He is attentive and faithful, and
perhaps you imagine he is less lover
like.
Don’t accuse him, or question him.
The best man is quick to resent any
thing which he can characterize as
"nagging.”
Be less exacting, and he will love
you all the more.

■pjEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
^ I am 18 and deeply In love
with a man five years my senior.
Being a Catholic, while the youn
man is of Jewish faith, my peo
ple object, but as I dearly love
him, and am sure my love is re
turned, I could never be happy
without him. He asks me to elope
with him. HEARTBROKEN.
You must do as your parents wish,
of course. His desire to have you
elope, and thereby distress them, does
not do him credit.
The difference in religion Is a mat
ter too serious to be taken in hand
and summarily settled by a girl of 18.

rjEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am deeply in love with a
young man two years my senior.
I love him very much and I know
he loves me in return. Some time
ago my girl friends, being jeal
ous, called him queer names. He
became very angry and has not
spoken to me since. J. E.
He is unfair, unjust and sulky.
Don’t have anything to do with him.
Believe me, no matter how great your
love, it would not long survive mar
riage with such a man.

"Oh. they won’t hurt you,” the Ip-
epector declared, as he noticed the
man’s hesitation. ‘‘They’re police of
ficers. You get ’em down her. and
then you go to bed and stay there till
morning. Understand?”
Again, the butler looked at his mas
ter for guidance in this very pecu
liar affair, as he deemed it. Receiv
ing another nod, he said:
"Very well, sir." He regarded the
Inspector with a certain helpless in
dignation over the disturbance of the
natural order, and left the room.
Gilder himself was puzzled oVer the
situation, which was by no means
Clear to him.
"How did you know they're going
to break Into the house to-night?” he
demanded of Burke; "or do you only
think they’re going to break into the
house?”
'T know they are." The Inspector’s
harsh voice brought out the words
boastfully. "I fixed it.”
"You did!" There was wonder in
the magnate's exclamation. •
"Sure," Burke declared complacent
ly, "did it through a stool-pigeon.”
"Oh, an informer. Gilgler interrupt
ed. a little doubtfully.
"Yes," Burke agreed. "Stool-pigeon
is the police name for him. Really,
he's the vilest *hing that crawls."
"But if you think that," Glide*' ex
postulated, "why do you have any
thing to do with that sort of per
son‘r’
Because it's good business," th*»
Inspector replied. "We know he's a
spy and a traitor, and that every time
he comes near us we ought to use a
disinfectant. But we deal with him
just the same—because we have to.
Now. the stboUpfgeoh in this trick is a
swell English crook. He went to
Garson yesterday with a scheme to
rob your house. He tried out Mary
Turner, too. but she wouldn’t stand
for it—said it would break the law,
which is contrary to her principles.
She told Garson to leave it alone. But
he met Griggs afterward without her
knowing anything about it. and then
he agreed to pull it off. Griggs got
word to me that it’s coming off to
night. And so. you see. Mr. Gilder,
that's how 1 kno* . Do you get me?"
"I see.” Gilder admitted, without
any enthusiasm. As a matter of fact,
he felt comewhat offended that his
house should be thus summarily
seized as a trap for criminals.
"But why do you have your men
come down over the roof?” he In
quired curiously.
"It wasn’t safe to bring them in the
front way,” was the Inspector’s
prompt reply. "It’s a cinch the house
is being watched. I wish you would
let me Have your latch key. I want to
come back, and make this collar my
H ■! f.' ’
The owner of the house obediently
took the desired key from his ring
and gave it to the Inspector with a
shrug of resignation.
"But why not stay, now’ that you
are here?" he asked.
"Huh!" Burke retorted. "Suppose
some of them saw me come In? There
wouldn’t be anything doing until after
they see me go out again.”
The hall door opened and the butler
re-entered the room. Behind came
Cassidy and two other detectives In
plain clothes. At a word from his
master, the disturbed Thomas with*
drew with the intention of obeying
the Inspector** directions that he
should retife to bed and stay there,
carefully avoiding whatever possibili
ties of peril there might be in the sit
uation so foreign to his ideals of pro
priety.
"Now,” Burke went on briskly, as
the door (dosed behind the servant,
"where could these men s'tay out of
sight until they’re needed?”
There followed a little discussion
Mitch ended in the selection of a
store room at the end of the passage
on the ground floor, on which one of
the library doors opened.
"You see.i' Burke explained to Gli
der, when this matter had been set
tled to his satisfaction, and while
Cassidy and the other detectives* were
out of the library on a tour of inspec
tion, "you must have things right, j
when it comes to catching crooks on a
frame-up like this. I had these men
come to Number Twenty-six on the !
other street, then round the block on j
the roofs.”
The Same Tip.
Glider nodded appreciation, which
was not actually sincere. It seemed
to him that such elaborate maneuver
ing was. in truth, rather absurd.
"And now. Mr. Gilder." the Inspec
tor said, energetically, “I’m going to 1
give you the same tip I gave your
man. Go to bed, and stay there.”
"But the boy." Gilder protested
"What about him? He’s the one thing
of importable to me
"If he says anything more about
going to Chicago—juet you let him go,
that’s all! It's the best place for him
for the next few days. I’ll get in
touch with you In the morning and lei
you know then how things are coming
out.”
The ordinary nervous headache will
be greatly relieved, and In many cases
entirely cured,* by. removing the waist
of one’s dress, knotting the hair high
up on the head out of the way, and.
while leaning over a basin, placing a
sponge soaked in water as hot as It
can be borne on the back of the neck.
Repeat this many times.
Before mending stockings with or
dinary darning yarn, it is a good plan
to hold the skein or card over the
spot of a kettle of boiling water. By
this means the steam effectually
shrinks the wool, and when the stock
ing is sent to the wash there will he
no fear of the mended portion shrink
ing away or tearing the surrounding
part.
When a carpet Is soiled with black-
lead, take a little fuller’s earth, put
It into a saucer, pour on to it a little
cold water and a few drops of liquid
ammonia. Mix the whole into a soft
paste, rub it on the carpet and let it
thoroughly dry; then brush it on with
a stiff brush. The blacklead will then
all be removed.
To save iron saucepans, turn each
one up on the kitchen range once a
week and give the outside a coating
of blacklead. This will not only make
the saucepans last longer and add to
their appearance, but It will also pre
vent anything cooked in them from
adhering to the saucepans.
In the hot weather a good butter
cooler can be made by soaking a brick
in cold water, wrapping it in a wet
cloth and placing it in the shade. The
evaporation of ihe water will keep
the brick cold. Butter placed upon
It will be kept as hard as though in
an ice chest.

Starch is of no use if It stands
in hot weather, you say. But why
has the woman who used the starch
made so much? A little forethought,
a hundredth part of what she gave
to her first spring hat, will determine
how much she needs for the laun
dry that week.
Sarah has no white skirts In the
wash this week, but Johnny had the
nosebleed twice last week which
necessitated two extra shirts for
him. But there were no gueBts this
week, so the same dinner cloth
served for dinner all week.
Think it out! That’s the point.
I had a cook who didn’t waste three
teaspoonfuls of starch a year. She
used her brains, and there Is need
of that article In the kitchen.

There are a couple of small onions,
