Their search of the apart ment reveals complete waidioles for women In different colors. In a safe deposit box they find a wrap of puper bearing the Inscription, "Paid in I ull." The following day a Major Preston, who has been a rporting an:x iat.- til Kevvell's. Is lntfiTOfited. Then tw-wcll's wllow visits the apartment. Sh inti mates that Pre stem might know some thing. As the investigators are stand In if. after Mrs. Sewt-ll's departure, locking at a mirror door. It opens, and Mrs. Edison appears. After she leaves, her lawyer threatens Marx with po litical reprisals if the woman Is molest ed. Then Kdison visits the apartment. As he goes out a sliot is heard. The Russian butler Is found dead and Edi son Is arrested. Mary IVnnell, whose clothes are found In the npartment. Is questioned. She Identifies the "Pfcid In Kull" note as in her um !' the Ma jor's handwriting. A diary belonging to the dead butler Is found. It relates a story of the famous Shah diamond which came Into his hands In Russia While Sewell was there. Sewell gets pos session of the diamond and takes It and the Countess Kurasova to Amer ica. The butler follows nnd enters Se well's empoy. He unearths evidence of Ke well's relations with the Countess. Also the actions of the many visitors Hewell entertained. Marx and the doc tor learn that another man occupied the apartment With Sewell. Mary Pen nell receives a mysterious note re bursting her to meet the writer at Se well' apartment If she wishes to clear Edison of all suspicion. As Marx leads her to the door, the secret pnstge opens and Preston appears. NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXI So I scouted around. And then I wrote down the names of about six people who were likely pro spects, and came back to Sewell. H seemed worried to death., And this is what be told me Coming out of Russia he met with some chap who seemed to be following him. This chap, it turn ed ont, was a Red agent who'd been assigned to find the stone. This agent never says a word un til they get to America. Then the day after Sewell sees me, he comes to Sewell and puts his cards right down on the table. He wants his share of the stone. That's all. If you knew Sewell, you'd know that nothing hurt him like parting with money. So you can imagine that this visit of the agent was no pleasure. But Sew ell sees the agent has him. If he turns him down, the agent lets out a squawk. The people who rightly own the stone vflll get wise and there'll be no chsnri of a sale. So Sewell kids him along. He introduces him to me. This agent looks like bad news to me. Ho has a pair of the most obstin ats eyes I ever saw. The minute I laid eyes on him,: I says to my self: "There's a fellow who can vait." Do you know what I mean? The kind of a guy who can sit down for twenty years with one purpose in mind, and just take life easy until what he wants rolls around. I've seen a lot of Chinese like that. I guess it's an Oriental trait anyway. Well, I finally come -down to brass tacks with him and Sewel . I had to. Sewell was the kind of FEEDING THE INFANT DURING WARM MONTHS Summer Is Hard Enough Even for Adults, But for Babies It Is Doubly So, Says Dr. Copckn-i. in Advising Mothers. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, Xcw YorJc City. E ARE in the season when attention. Hot weather but it is terrible indeed for Let me say to the dear mother: of yourself. You must -have good health, poise and get rest enough to restore your strength and vigor. Each day is ont of trial, and hard indeed even if you are perfectly well. If you get too little sleep and lose your appe tite, the baby is influenced, almost at once. The child becomes restless and irritable. It won't be Jong before the poor little thing loses its normal eagerness for food. Then comes diarrhoea and vomiting. It ia to be hoped your child can continue breast feeding all through the hot season. If there ia- enough milk for that purpose, it is a lucky.baby indeed. There is no real substitute for mother's milk. -The scientists are making progress in arranging artificial feedings, but in many things it is im possible to improve on Nature. In the matter of bab feeding, certainlv. nothing ia ennui breast feeding, provided the mother is perfectly normal, i -It XKtremey difficult to keep cow's milk in proper condition during the hot days and nights of Summer. Unless the milk ia kept w w" sfa b w a asuavw f J .rays present, are sure to multiply. in contrast to tnis is the pure and uiii-ontaminated mother's milk. There 4s little danger of infections Xrorn that fluid. -, Of course, poisons and illness can be carried to the in;, nt If the mother Is out of health. Hut if tbe mother "1 normal r.e milk carries aub- lances ana agents that guard MrCuinat disease and cause the baby to grow rapidly into strong body and Vigorous health. Babies who are properly fed, Whether on breast milk or cow's n i-i It, have such vigor that they re disease. Such tables wiH endure the beat of Summer, no matter where the temperature goes. Keep in touch with your fum.ly d-K-tor. If baby does not thrive us you .think It should; tails with htm. J n all probability your' tears are groundless. But I don 1 want the mother to have any fears.

' . 1, : ,. ,- t ; Ajr SAMUEL fellow who ;ust stalled around for weeks, skirting the main issues. I says to this Russian: "How much?' And then the fan begins. First he wants 80 per cent. Then 70. It was a sreat bargaining day. Finally he's satisfied with one fourth. So we're that much ahead. We know where we stand. But the business of selling this tone Is not so easy. And in the meanwhile the Russian mast live. So he plants himself down here with Sewell. Sewell stands it as long as he can, and the suggests to the Russian he move to a hotel. The Russian laughs at this. He says he's not going anywhere that will take him away from the scene of the stone. Oh, incidentally. I forgot. This Russian, first of all. insisted that the stone be put into a safe which he buys with his last roble or something. And he splits the combination with Sewel. so neith er can open the safe without the other knowing it. A sort of Joint account in the . safe. And this Russian points out innocently that if he moves' away Sewell can hire somebody to blow th.e safe open, take out the diamond and beat It. A nice, trusting fellow. So finally Sewell gets the Idea of giving this Russian the apart ment In the next house, a small one as you'll see, and right ad joining this. The Russian, who is handy with tools, breaks down the walls first thing, and fixes up an- entrance Into the apartment. And In the corridor between the two apartments stands the safe. And. what's more, the Russian never leaves the house. He has Sewell's butler fix up some grub for him, although he. keeps his presence secret, and that's the way things go on for weks.' ' Meanwhile we're trying to sell the stone. You can imagine we proceeded with the- utmost cau tion. Any Jdnd of a slip-up. end our goose would be conked. And there was a million In that stone 'If we played our cards right. And I thought we had a pretty good hand. There was an elderly lady from California who went in for short skirts and mental heal ing whom I cultivated. I figured she was our meat. And I wa3 right, too. I got her all excited about the idea of having the big gest diamond in the world, with all its history, and she was just eating out of my hand. Well, one night she agrees to come up to Sewell's apartment with an expert Jeweler who was to be trusted, and we would show her the stone. I told this to Sew ell and he told it to this Russian fellow. So the three of us wait for her, and she comes with this Jeweler. They sit down in this room here. Then Sewell and the Russian go into the corridor to bring the stone. I go with them. First the Russian begins twirling the knob, then Sewell takes it up. The door of the safe opens. Sewell puts his hand into It. Then I see him look kind of funny. Next thing I know the Russian is groping there, too. "It's gone!" Sewell says finally. little babies must have the closest is bad enough for all us huskies, the frail infant. You must take the best of care degrees, the germs or bacteria of the trouble. Have an examination and follow your doctor's advice. P. M. D. Q. What should a girl aged 20. S ft. 2 inches tall, weight A. She should weigh about 12 pounds. F. M. B.

Yon took it!" Well, they exchanged compli ments right there until the air was blue. Meanwhile the old lady with the short skirts was waiting with her Jeweler. I looked into the safe myself, but there wasn't a trace of anything. So I go back to the old ladj; and apologize. Somehow I manage to get rid of her, although she looks at me, as If I'm playing some sort of a game with her. Then I come back to Sewell and the Russian. They're still at it. "The safe was opened by some one who knew the combination," the agent says. "So one else knew but the two of us. And we only knew half. You must have found out the other half in some way. You took the stone." But Sewell maintains he doesn't know a thing about it and finally I manage to separate them and the Russian goes off in a huff to his apartment and Sewell comes back with me. I was pretty angry, myself. "Listen," I says, "I don't like the look of things. You can count me out of this." "Very well," says Sewell. Now Sewell owed me some meney, and I suggested he settle up. So later on he paid me the money, and I wrote out a receipt the receipt you bad. Except that I signed my name to it, and that name was rubbed off. How or by whom I can't imagine. Then I said good night and left him. Well, the next day Sewell shows up at my apartment He looks real worried. The Russian, hej says, has disappeared.

(AP) Unreatrtcted immigration of Filipinos to California was brought to the attention of Gov ernor C. C. Toung council again today at a "serious menace" to the states' health, labor and social status. The Filipino aa a carrier of the spinal meningitis germ presents to California a serious menace Dr. Walter. M. Dickie, director of the state department of public health told the governor. He said he be lieved that the next congress would realize the necessity of taking some action restricting the influx of inhabitants from the islands. Dr. Dickie declared that there Is no doubt there are carriers of epidemic meningitis from the Phil lipine islands and that in several counties hundreds of Filipinos have been quarantined during the past few months in the effort to stamp out the disease. He said that warm weather tended to re duce the number of cases.

To their surprise they found their companion standing on the rail road tracks Bear a locomotive. "All aboard!" shouted Knarf, when he saw them. "Take your seats. The train Is going to start in two minutes." They gazed at him in astonish ment. "Where's this train going to?" they asked. "It's going to to- Knarf paused in doubt. "Why, it's go ing to the end and then back again. That's where it's going to." "Thafs too far," said Hanid. "We have to be back in tme for dinner," added Yam. "Besides, we have no " began Flor. " have no tickets," broke in MiJ. who was Flor's twin. "So you see," they all said to gether, "we can't possibly zo." Knarf wasn't the least put out. "Very well," he said, "if you can't go. you can't go. Bnt it Isn't far to the end, and you will be back in time for dinner, and you don't need tickets. It's a pity you can't possibly go. All aboard! All aboard!" And he started towards the train. "Oh. in that case we'll go,'' they cried. "All right," said the running shadow-boy, "take your places in the parlor cars." As it turned out there were places only for MiJ, Flor and Ha nid. "There's no room for me!" ex claimed Yam. Knarf nodd?d. "There's plenty of room for you in the freight car." At first Yam was. anything but cgreeable. She wasn't at all pleas ed to sit in a freight car. But he promised her that she would have the whole car to hersslf and could run up and down, and lean out of the side door as she liked. At last she gave In. Then Knarf climbed up. into the locomotive. "What are you doing there?" cried the others. "Why, I'm the engineer!" But I 7 i liyaiiiiEssaL jH3 iff? POslT TELL Mfc VOU Wsl rt W VA !

Now we're passing throuph the forest of chairlegs " "Louder!" called Yam from the freight car. "I can't hear a word you said." "Chairlegs! Chairlegs! Now we are coming into the valley of Rug-and-Carpet " "Of what?" cried Yam. "Of Rug-and-Carpet, with the j mountains of Wallpaper on eith er side." At that moment Yam gave an exclamation of alarm. The cause was plain at once. The freight car had detached itself from the rest of the train. "Help! Help!" cried Yam.- as she found herself getting farther and farther away from the others. "Don't worry," Knarf reassured her. "We'll be back for you in a minute." Just as he said this the train turned a long curve. The shadows saw through the window that the freight car was now a short dist ance in front of them. "Sdow up!" they s houted to THE ONMKIER. OF -TVMS FH-AS-t I TT2V TO MAKE THIMO EMTOAJBlE.

"I'm posi tively savage before I hare my coffee and not very human tor an hour afterward, for that mat ter." Why. do people glory in their bad manners at breakfast? I know ever eo many charming persons who gloat over the fact that they are surly and morose the first thing in the morning and fit on ly to commune wtih a newspaper. Marjorie has a positive obsession on the sabjects and traces all the ills of mankind to premature as sociation in the day. "If only no body had to appear before noon," she sighed, "what a blissful place the world would be. Everybody would be thoroughly waked up and eager to be active and talk to somebody. It's this ghastly cus tom of having to get up before you are completely conscious, and being expected to behave cheer fully that's what makes me per verse and snappish." The best thing to do with that sort of person is to leave him or her- In isolation until amiability has set in. But unfortunately that isn't convenient in all households. Most of us have to begin the day early, and in our servantless households, certainly, it's essen tial that the family eat simultan eously. No use wasting nervous energy on a reformatorial pro gram! The cross-at-breakfast folk really enjoy themselves that way, Knarf. "Slow up at once!" Instead of slowing up, the train went as fast as ever. All at once it crashed right into the freight car and the whole train freight car included toppled off the tracks and turned upside down. As for MiJ, Flor, Hanid, Yam and Knarf, they merely rolled on the soft carpet. For they were riding on a toy train right in their own parlor, you see.

Not Incurable However, sometimes this breaks fast grouch is the result of ti4 customary breakfast, and then i1 is a curable case. I know t r er young woman who emerged froraj boarding school with a breakfast grouch although she had a sunny) disposition at other hours of t,, day. Years of poorly-made cofivj had done their worst. The v. vy thought of sitting down to tel. la so early brought subconscious memories of the distasteful smfi she had bten drinking for years, Breakfast brought to mind smell and taste of bad coffe---. than which nothing is more im pressing to a Iovir of good cofft. Fragrant, aromatic coffee i cheering actually as well as ) y mental suggestion. It Is a m!;j stimulant and should brace one up the first thing in the morning. But it should be served piping hot. If necessary, heat the cup- by fillins then .with hot water, then dryinf them quickly Just U fore serving the coffee. That hohi-i good for eggs too. If bacon ard eggs are served, then the plat shonld he heated. These foods g t cold very quickly, and then no matter how carefully they ha 4 been cooked, they turn soggy. Lukewarm coffee and lukewarm eggs would depress the spiritr rf the most assiduous Pollyanna! Toast requires specal treatment too, and in this matter the tar.e of Individuals must be consulted. Some like it thin and crack e r crisp, and they like it to. cool be fore spreading -the btter so thrt the butter Temalns 'hard.
