Indeed, the whole diabolical plot carried out by Thornton Jayoe was much clearer to Tommy than It was. even now. to his father. Graham Hale and Thornton Kayne bad been rivals, years before, despite their Intimacy perhaps because of it for the hand of Camille Arnot. then the reia-nlnr favorite of comic opera In New York. She had favored Hale, and Ray re had acquiesced, apparently. In her choice. I'layina; the part of a rood and disinterested friend, he had even made nearly all the arrangement for their murriui a marriage per formed In secret, and not mad public, because of the determined opposition of iraham Hale's father to his son's marriage to an ac trees. The end of Graham Hale' romance bad com not many months after bis marriage, and not long before the ex pected birth of his child. Something someone had convinced Camille Arnot that he had tricked and deceived her. that her marriage had been false. She i "isappearea; (Jraham Hale had be- re. that she had been the .jvwra ot m lire in the house In which they had lived. But now Tommy was convinced that bad not been so He was convinced, moreover, that Thornton J.ayne. who had never ceased to love -eK er. nan peen the man respon sible for her belief in her husband's treachery, and that Thornton Rayn bad kept the fire. Cf her hate for l.raham Hale burning through the long years in which the criminal organiza tion of Th Twisted Thread had been Duiit up. During those years warnings of lm- ''""'" vengeance had ranam Hale one each ....... rrarr or nis marriage, a day already black In his life. Tommy could see now. or thought he could see. what bad happened. Thornton Kayne. the real head and organizer of the Twisted Turead. had used Camille as its ap. parent head. She, believing it to be a society devoted to revenge for wrongs the taw could not punish, had not sus- pected that Rayne waa using it for blackmail, for robbery, for espionage in the Interest of foreign countries. And In the last few months, when, after the years of empty threats, all the powers of the Twisted Thread had been turned loose against Graham Hale and all connected with him, Thornton Ilayne, it teemed to Tommy, had been working In a way. at erora purposes with the woman, he hailed, ostensibly as his chief. he had conceived a plan of vengeance upon her fancied betrayer subtle and terrible In its crneltv and completeness. She did not wish his death. She wished, rather, to see him ruined, bereaved. left friendless as the result of the desertion of those who would learn, by repeated experiences, that friendship with him Involved the sinister attentions of the Twisted Thread sinking down, at 'last, into madness and a living death. But Kayne had sought actually to kill the man-who had been his rival. To Tommy the reason seemed plain enough. lUyne knew the truth knew what Tommy had not needed . his father's assurance to believe, that Camille Arnot had been truly married and had been deceived and betrayed only by the man who had told her otherwise. And. knowing that, he must have felt that so long as Graham Hale lived he was In danger of exposure. As he came downstairs Tommy hoped that Aimee would, like himself, be up early. Many things connected with his father's revelatloas still puzzled him: be wanted to discuss them with her. So he was disappointed when he found the breakfast room empty. He waited: finally stnt a acrVaul to ask Aimce's to him. h. strr she said. "Miss Almee she Isn't In her room her bed hasn't been slept In at all! Marie's gone Miss Almee dismissed her last night and Miss Hale said I was to be Miss Aimce's maid" Tommy rushed frantically to the telephone, calling for Donovan's detec tive agency. He reported Aimee's dis appearance then turned to nee his fathers vallet waiting to speak to him. "Mr. Hale, sir." said the man. "I I don't know what's wrong, sir he's not in his room this morning! He went out for a walk late last night, sir told me to go to bed, as he wouldn't need me again. When I went to tell him his bath was ready. Just now. 1 found h" 1 adn't come in. sir!" This second blow staggered Tommy. The hand of the Twisted Thread of Thornton ICayni was plain enough. What could he do? He had no clue. He could see no starting point. And then, as he groped deserately In his mind for some course of action to pursue, there came a clamorous ringing of the bell of the front door. He rared to answer It and Almee. her hair dls-1 heveled. her whole appearance un kempt and bedraggled, staggered into bis arms. "Almee! he cried. "Thank God you are safe!" "I?" .he cried, startled and amazed. "Why. Tommy " "I ad was gone is gone too!" he said. "He went out for a walk last night and never came back! This morning I found that both of you had disappeared I was half mad" "Walt till I change my things." she said, freeing herself from his embrace. "We must get to work at once. Tommy! This is more of Thorntou Kuytic'a work" "But you what happened to you ? How did you get away from thcmT" he cried. "Walt I'll tell you as soon as I've made myself ready," she said. "There's no time to be lost. Tommy!" That was true, and he knew it, and so; reluctantly, let her go. She was bark in an incredibly short space of time. "I can't tell you much now." she said. "Hut. Tommy, my dear I know more much more! than you think! You you're going to hate me when you know everything! But I'm for you on your side with all my heart and soul! Tommy you were going to tell me, perhaps did you know why Ca mille Arnot believed so absolutely that your father had betrayed her? Kid you know that the minister who mnr rlcd I hun. and who soon afterward went abroad as a missionary, had writ ten a letter confessing that the mar- r is ire was not a legal one?" lea Thornton Kayne told my father there had been such a letter! But Kent died abroad Pastor Kent. the minister! Rayne tried to find him to make htm clear up the mystery of mat lette "Do you see how your father always trusted Thornton Kayne? oh. Tommy don't you see that that letter must have been a forgery if that marriage was a tru one. as I believe it was? And Pastor Kent didn't die abroad! He is coming home his steamer gets In ted ay! There was an article in last night's paper about his return, after his years in China! Thaf's why Thorn ton Rayne la In such desperate haste now: He is afraid that Kent's return will clear everything up and reveal tils villainy!" "But how do you know all this asked Tommy, deeply amascd. "I can't tell you now!" she cried. wringing her hands desperately "Oh Tommy don't ask me. dear don't ask me any questions now!' "All right," he said, wondering, but submissive. "I've sent for Donovan there s nothing to do now. I suppose, but to wait for him to come " "Y'es. there is." she cried. "If Thorn. ton Kayne had your father spirite away, and ne must have done it. I think I know where he would have had him taken. Is your car ready? Let's start at once Almee was sure of herself, she spoke witn such absolute authority that Tommy never dreamed of questioning ner. jogetnes tney got Into his road ster, and he even let Aimee take the wheel. "I know the way," she said. "It'll save time If 1 drive. Instead of telling you where- to go. And the police aren't so likely to stop us If 1 m driving: they're easier on a woman speeder than on a man." Certainly Almee showed little regard for the speed laws as they tore along. But she was a -superb driver: the car was always under absolute control. And as she dnnv she found time to tell Tommy of her kidnaping and of her escape. "They carried me out to a schooner In the stream." she said, "and locked me In a cabin. But the porthole was open, so mat t count see where we tricked the guard outside. I cried and moaned as If I were very 111 and in great pain, and he came In. I'd stuffed out my coat with pillows and put it In the bunk, and I hid by the door and slipped out when he went to the berth. "They trapped me on the deck, but I ran un the shrouds. I suppose they thought I was cornered, and I nearly was. But I saw a motor boat coining and they saw me waving, and so I jumped. I really didn't have time to think or I'd have been too sr-Hred, suppose. But it was wonderful I'll never bo afraid of a high dive again. And they picked me up. almost at otii-o. and brought me ashore, though I was silly enough to faint and frighten them out of their wits. "I'll enjoy killing Thornton Ttayne with my bare hands." said Tommy grimly. "I think I never really hated anyone before in all my lifu, and if he's hurt my father"" Almeo tlowed up. The car crept around a corner and stopped. She pointed to a house In the middle of the block. Jn front of It an express warun was waiting. Aimee frowned. "That means there's some new devil try afoot," she said. "Ah " The door of the house opened. And Thornton Kayne appeared and looked about. Aimee and Tommy both wore motoring coats and heavy motor gog gles, so that he did not recognize them. They were, moreover, some dis tance away, and Almee, her mind wonking swiftly, spoke to Tommy. "Go and ring at the door of the nearest house. Ask If Mr. Terwilliger lives there, or any other name that's unusual. Quick! Then Rayne won't suspect us." Tommy obeyed. And he and Aimee thus were able to watch Rayne's pro cedure. He turned and superintended the carrying out of a .huge trunk, which, to Judge from tho manner of the two men who caroled It. was ex tremely heavy. It was loaded on to j the express wagon, and. when It was securely fastened, Rayne got up tvith the driver and was driven off. "Follow them in the car. Tommy. (aid Aimee. "Don't lose sight of them for sn instant, but don't try to do anything single-handed. I know how to get into that house. I'll find your father If hes inside. But now don t lose a moment: follow Kayne and that express wagon." Almee was In command now. and her manner was such that Tommy obeyed her as Instinctively as a soldier obeys Ms officer. A protest was on his lips. but she gave him no real chance to voice it. Befone he understood what she was doing she had darted into the side entrance of the nearest house. ' "I want to get into the yards that run along at the back of all these houses!" she cried, over her shoulder, and disappeared. Tommy was disturbed he ' didn't want to leave her, to run into some new danger, as he was sure she would do. But he had no choice. The ex press wagon was already rounding the corner at the other end of the block. And so he gave chase, and, crawling along to keep behind the slow-moving wagon, he pursued it as it was driven downtown. In the maze of traffic of the busi ness section it was hard for Tommy to keep the wauon in slpht- But he managed to do so. and had the satis faction of seeing it stop at last in front of a house in an Kast Side street. Rayne got out and again superintended closely the handling of the trunk. Tom my did not dare to go too close, but he paw the .men carry the trunk up the steps 'of the stoop and Into the house, and. from the length of time they took inside, he judged that they must have carried their tmrden to the very top of the three-story houe. They camo down, but Kayne stayed inside. His problem now was to communi cate with Aimee. He wanted her to know what he was doing. It seemed to him that It would be a simple mat ter to call In a policeman and cause Rayne's arrest, but ho remembered tliat he was. after all. without definite proof of Rayne's guilt of any crime that would result in his being held if he' were arrested. But finally he hit upon a scheme. He wrote a note, ad dressed it to Aimee at the house from which Rayne had emerged, uptown, and. goiner into a store whence he could still command a view of the house in which Rayne and the-trunk had gone, telephoned for a messe.nper. When the boy came he handed him the note and a to bill. "You may have trouble deliverin this, sonny." he said. "But. if you do get it to the lady, there'll be $10 more for you If you come to my house to night. Get me?" "Sure, boss!" said the boy. "Watch my smoke!" Then Tommy resigned himself to a loner and anxious period of waiting. sitting in his car and smoking cigar ette after cigarette. An hour passed and the greater part of another. But st last a taxicab came tearing around the corner, and Aimee leaped from, it and came running tO Tommy. "Your father's all riKht!" she cried. 'I made him go home he was ill. but he was feeling better before he went. I was just in time! Thornton Rayne had left two men to well, I .think they meant to kill Mm! But I covered them with my pistol, and locked them in a closet and got him out. I re membered we hadn't arrananed for any way of keeping In touch and 1 hoped you'd send a note. Just as you did!" "I haven't much news except that house over there," he said, pointing it out. "He had that trunk we saw on the express wagon carried in. And he hasn't come out, by the front door, at feasL" "Then he's in there still, probably," she said, frowning. "I I don't know what to do, Tommy! I suppose it would be foolish to try to do anything by ourselves 7 "I'm afraid so," Tommy agreed. "The trouble is that if we do and fail every thing may be ruined " "We'll get a policeman," said Aimee, with decision. "We may not have any- legal evidence against Rayne yet, but I think we can trust Mr. Donovan to find some for us don't you?" "I certainly do!" said Tommy. "There's a cop, now I'll get him. I'll tell him Rayne broke into our houfe that's good enough for a temporary charge- " Luck favored Tommy now. The po liceman was, it chanced, one who knew him, having been engaged in one of the fights with the Twisted Thread gang when its meeting place had been raided. "Sure. Mr. Hale, I'm wld ye!" he said, heartily. "In here Is lit? Come on, then!" They went up darkened stairs. De spite their best efforts they made noise enough to warn Rayne of their coming, for the house was empty and the stairs were bare and creaky. It was a creepy business that climb up through the darkened, deserted house. Tommy ex pected, every instant, to hear a report to see a flash of flame spurt out in the darkness above to stop a bullet or hear one whistling by his ear. But until they reached the top floor there was no noise of any sort. Then. suddenly, a door swung open, and Thornton Rayne himself appeared. But he was taken utterly by surprise. He started back, aghast then lowered his head and charged like a bull. His rush upset Tommy, who staggered back against Reardon, the policeman, so that both were thrown down in a heap. And Rayne, cursing, flung himself at the ladder that led to the skylight and the roof and rushed up. Reardon was on his feet in a mo ment and after him. Tommy was about to follow when Aimee checked him. "Toe trunk!" she said. "Let the po liceman catch Rayne if he can we've got to find out the mystery of that trunk." They ' went through tho door that WORK OF KINDERGARTENS HELD TO BE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE Tribute Paid to Genius of Frederick Froebel, Who Originated Plan of Proper Education of Children Results of Specialized Training Shown.

There have been many In fant schools of various types and honor is due those Individuals who have had the vision to meet In any degree the educational needs of little children, but Frederick Froebel stands without a peer as a man of genius who not only understood the Individual and collec tive needs of little children, and formu lated educational principles which wiM endure for all time, but also devised the ways and means of putting into practice those principles. Genius belongs to the world: no na tion can lay exclusive claim to it. Shakespeare belongs to all.

Children Are I.Ike Plants. "Kindergarten" suggests a garden where the children are like plants un der the care of a skilled gardener. The gardener must. have a general knowl edge of all plants; he must have a specific knowledge of the particular plants he essays to raise. He must study their individual needs; this one requires sunshine; that one does not. Pruning must be done: the garden must be kept free from weeds, etc. Many analogies are suggested by the name to those who think. A good nursery maid can take care of babies; an edu cator is required to take proper care of children in kindergarten. It takes 10 years of earnest effort to make a kindergartner of the highest type, A word in regard to the history of Infant education.

NiniiK ot lastltatloa Told. To the man of genius who made the greatest contribution to the education of your children tnat nas ever Deen made Is due the honor of preserving the name which he. himself, selected with such Joy. After carefully in specting the infant classes and creches existing in his day. Froebel felt that he wanted something very different in his institution and he wanted a name that would differentiate his school from all others, that would in its very name proclaim a new and better thing. At first, he could not quite get the right name for his Institution. He thought it ought to-be a place for little Children where they could receive wise, nurturing care, and where women could be trained to give this intelli gent care. Walking one day through the beautiful Thuringlnian Forest, he found himself at the end of the path. on the edge oi a diuii overiooxing a fertile valley. Below, spread out be fore his gaze, were many small farms planted differently, so that the varie gated colors suggested a garden. Pondering upon what the name should be for his new educational institution, his eyes fell upon the beautiful scene before him. "F.ureka! he cried. "I have found it: Kindergarten shall be ts name." And kindergarten it has been, is, and ever shall be, though there were a million Infant schools existing side by side with it, for the two terms purposes was a custom among the an cients. Children's circles were known to the Greeks in the times of Plato and Aristotle, and the Jews had circles of children in their Temple schools. The most jjmportant of modern infant schools was that of Pastor Oberlin at Walbach, Alsace. In 1779 this school was placed in charge of Pastor Ober lin's faithful servant, Louis Scheppler, who has been described as having "the brain of a man and the heart of a woman." The Weavers' Infant School established at New Lanark of Scotland, by James Buchanan, for "songs, games, and discipline," was an Immediate out come of this. It was built and sup ported by a Scotch philanthropist, Rob ert Owen. Though there was little at tempt at method In it, it provided a certain amount or sense training and, to a certain extent, prepared the chil dren for school life- Best Ideas Put Into Practice. Comenius In his "School of Infancy" clearly anticipated some of the ideas of both Pestalozzi and Froebel. but it took Froebel to gather up the best of these ideas, formulate them, add his own original contribution of the first importance, and put them into actual practice. The kindergarten idea en circles the globe and belongs to all alike it is universal. Many of Froe bel's general ideas upon education are part and parcel of everyday school pro cedure. Writing in 1826 (see his "Edu cation of Man") he clearly stated the need of manual training in the schools and the need of public playgrounds. Many o these' Ideas have become float- ami when restated by some eminent, modern psychologist or educator, are applauded, accepted, and put into ac tual practice in the schoolroom. It is good to have intelligence enough to appreciate and elucidate these great ideas, but greater honor is due the originator of them. In some educational circles, unin fluenced by any animus aroused by the present war. the suggestion has come to do away with the chasm that some times exists between the kindergarten and the grades by calling the kinder garten and primary grades Jointly "the elementary classes." Now. we grant it is a mistake to have the kindergarten an isolated thing, a thing apart from the school; it should be an integral, an organic, part of the whole. If you break off a branch from a plant, the branch dies: the plant lives. But if th ideas that Froebel promulgated are sound educational ideas for the kinder garten, they are sound for the grades. Tho ideas should be extended upward, rather than bringing downward tho ideas governing the grades. Initiative Is Developed. For example, one of Froebel's lead ing ideas is developing the children through self-activity; a premium is put upon originality, upon initiative, and in general, upon qualities that de velop self-direction. In the recent in vestigation made in Greater New York by a committee working under Profes sor Hanus. of Harvard University, Dr. McMurray found that children in the kindergarten possessed In a marked degree initiative: that the same class of children in the grades lacked it. What had happened to traisform these leaders in the kindergarten into un thinking, passive, followers in the grades? Suppression: repression; the transformation of each little individual human wheel into the cog of a big wheel. The necessity of conforming to rules, of getting just so much required work in the mastery of the three "R's" done in a given time, and false ideas of discipline. Happily, better things are coming and this is evidenced in many ways one of them Is by a recent book, "A Schoolmaster In a Great City," by Angelo Patri (Macmlllan), which is the story of a teacher with a vision of a teacher who set out to "humanize the schoolroom." The kindergarten as Froebel saw it Is a progressive thing. All true ideals have wings and fly ahead of us. As we advance, they advance, ever lead ing .us onward, upward, to a higher realization in life. crease of such salaries. The court in the latter case said, in part: "If the power to tax is conceded, the barriers erected by the constitutional limitation are swept away, and one branch of the state government is placed at the mercy of another. If the General Assembly has the power to im pose a tax of 1 per cent on the official salary of a judicial officer, upon the same principle it could lay a duty which would cripple, if not completely paralyze, the whole system of the ad ministration of justice of state tri bunals.

Born on Christmas day and dying on the same day SI years later. Just seven days after the death of her husband, was the singular fate of Mrs. Florence Adeline Didway of Coalinga. Andrew La Croix Didway, her husband, 87 years old, died at Coalinga on the 18th Inst., from bronoho pneumonia. His wife contracted the same disease while nursing him but had practically recov ered when she suffered a stroke of apoplexy which caused her death. The aged couple were buried side by side at a double funeral at Rosedale Cemetery in this city yesterday. Mrs. Didway was born in St. Clairesville, O., and her husband was born at Haver hill in the same state. Mr. Didway was in business there until the couple came West. Last year they went to the home of a daughter, Mrs. Otto S. Ax tell in Coalinga, where they both pass ed away. Rayne had left open. It was an empty room into which they came. The closed windows were heavy with grime: tho wall paper hung in strips. But oppo-" site the door by which they had on- ' tered was another door leading, ob viously, into an inner room. Tommy tried it and found it locked or bolted. Aimee cried out suddenly: "Look, Tommy!" she said. "Wli.-tt are those strings for, do you suppose?"" Under the door three strings np- " peared two or three feet of each pro jected. Tommy and Aimee stared at ' them, bewildered. Again Tommy tried the door in vain. Then Aimee dropped to her knees and stared through tho ; keyhole. She rose with a shriek. "Oh. Tommy!" she cried. "There's a , man hanging In there ! Break noivtr ' the door get in we may be able to -save him " Tommy sprang away from the door and hurled himself nt it. It yielded , hut remained on Its hinges. Three, . times he smashed against it with all his strength before it gave way. Ili.. rushed in. Hanging from a bracket in--- the far wall was a man with while . hair. A stool, overturned, was uear his feet; he swung just free of th.y floor, .and his face was turning purple.. With a rush Tommy reached him and cut him down. He and Aimee loosened the cord about his neck, and began to rub his wrists and temples. And gradually the man who had been saved in such a nearly mir.-iculous fash ion stirred. He opened his eyes and.,' stared blankly into Aimce's face. "Where am I?" he said, faintly and then sank Into a renewed .stupor.... On the floor beside him lay his coat a ministerial garment. As Tommy picked it no some papers fell from it's , pocket. There were half a dozen let ters all addressed to the liev. John '. Kent! "Pastor Kent!" cried Aimee. "That was why Thornton Rayne tired to kill , him!" "My heavens see the devilish trick " he planned." cried Tommy. "I under stand those strings now! Do you see,'' Aimee?" "" She stared at tho strings.
