It was possible tor him to be aware of any per jeon at the door or on the stain r In the haJl without relaxing his watch on Niccolo. ; As Stefano understood Ferria,a plan In respect to Nathalie, all '"errls waut;d of her was to havo tier sell hinv The Firs. If she re fused to sell, Ferris, beaten, could .do nothing but g o away. He could (not understand at all why Niccolo had been placed on guard over him. He asked him finally, speak In? in Italian ae before: "Niccolo," he said, "why are-we adjourning here indoors on so ' pleasant a day?" Niccolo shrugged his shoulders. "Niccolo." eaid Stefano, "ob serve that each of my hands is still in a pocket. Holding what you do not know. Now let us im agine that you were a candle. The man's face became miser able. "Signor," he implored, "I will tell you a little. The signora above must not be permitted to go from here ,and have negotiations with the banker Signor Found. That la !a.s much as has teen confided to tas." Stefano made him no answer for just then the part of one eye of his which was not on Niccolo saw a feminine hand on the ban later rail and he knew that Nath alie was creeping downstairs. He knew that Niccolo would turn if he heard her turn cer , taialy when be beard her start the motor car outside me ooor; ror Stefano was sure that she would try to gain it and speed away. While she was still on the stairs he calculated the distance between ihim and Niccolo and considered the probable weight of the chair on which he cat. As Nathalie ran down the last of the staircase Niccolo started and turned his head to look out in the hall. Stefano sprung from the chair he was on and threw it The chair hit Niccolo and he went over. Instantly Stefano was on him, stunned him with a cham pagne bottle, and took, his pistol. He ran outside and, when he heard another car start from the tables, waited until it was at the gate and turning the way Nathalie had gone. Then he fired two shots each at the two rear tires. Both tire3 blew out, but the car con tinued on its course with Its rear wheels flat. He could tee, though, as he watched it driven away, that it could never catch up with Nath alie's. Then it stopped a few hun dred yards down the road and a second car came out of a grove of evergreens and the men who iwere in the first car all sprang & W BIK1 SLEUTH I PACIFIES W Thm Chair JIU Niccolo and Hm Wemt Over. Instantly Stefm Wat Upon Hun. out and swarmed Into the second. When that car had gone Stefano ran to the car that had been aban doned and drove on flat tires to the first telephone available where he called up Monty Delaine and then Mrs. Pemberton Swayne. Nathalie gave her car all the eras it would take and , still stay on the road when she heard the re volver shots behind her. 'It was a car designed for speed and she was a fine driver. It gave her a sense of triumph that she was ahead and that the road was clear. As she knew the country well she began to plan the journey to her aunt's by by-roads instead of main roads when she became conduced that the motor behind her bad stopped. She slowed sufficiently to be able to glance back once, and saw that those who were in pursuit of her were leaving the ear they had started In and crowding into a fresh one. Then she sent her car ahead as .fast as she dared drive it. She began to be aware that the motor behind her had power too and was holding the distance be tween them, even If it was not gaining. And it came to her that she had no driver's license and that if she continued at her pres ent speed along any main highway she would surely be halted or ov ertaken by a policeman. The road she was on led straight to a main thoroughfare, so at the next turn she swerved into a second coun try road. .(To be continued tomorrow.) The Rev. C. C. J. Carpenter, on time captain of the Princeton wrestling team, will be Instructor of a boxing class at Savannah. Ga., where he is rector of an Episcopal church. SPOKANE Wash. CAP) "Two Guns" Hart, picturesque chief of Indian reservation police, ones again has proved that he per performs as the hero of any good thriller should. On Uncle Sam's payroll the name appears as Richard J. Hart, special federal officer, but the Indians on three reservations on the three reservations that know him as the representative of -The Great White Father," long ago named him "Two Guns," thanks to his ambldextrlty with a six-shooters. ! "Two Guns completed his last typical lob of "always getting his man" when he brought in Charles Cherrapln, Spokane Indian want ed for the murder of his wife, aft-; er several days of tracking the fugitive through heavy timber. - Cherrapln was heavily armed but gave himself up as soon as he learned it was Hart who was on his trail. Hart has had a hand In the capture of more than 20 murd erers While covering 12 different reservations. In the last year he has brought in three Indian kilt era. He has been cowboy, soldier and police officer. A "beat" of more than 28 square miles, with supervision over more than 800 Indians, is Hart's domain. He travels afoot, in a car, horseback, on straw shoes and skils. In summer he has tracked men by the imprints they made in soft pine needles of the forests, and in winter he has fol lowed them through the snow. Under him are three Indian police. His work Is different from that of Tegular officers or detectives, for the criminals he captures are Outdoor men, and there are few informers to aid him. 'The Indian who kills a man Is different from the white." Hart says, "for he will not talk about it, and he has no regrets. He usu ally feels that he was justified, and forgets it. He rarely has guilty conscience. That makes It harder to pin anything on him. 1 w Home-Making Helps f By ELEANOR ROSS ' Getting the Most Out of m Vacuum Cleaner.

Of an the buyers of vacuum cleaner attach meats pere are very few who used the aftacnments any where near as araeh as they used the vacuum cleaner as it stood for rags. Too much trouble unscrewing- one set of things from the vacuum cleaner to screw In another, and However, there is a new type of cleanser that ensures its use for aB purposes. Ordinarily it is fitted with a short handle, so that its regular use is encouraged for every kind of household dusting not merely one. Pick It up to brush clothes, er up holstery, or wicker furniture or mat tresses or draperies. If yon want to sweep rugs, tbea if merely a mat ter of err hanging the short aaaaie for long one. That Is a staple, quick process, hardly any more trouble than attaching a plus- ta socket. . Incidentally (but rather Important) these hew-hand vacuum cleaners cost half as much as the other style even lees. And as they make tt convenient to do aS the dusting by the vacuum method, they are a first, rate Investment er en for the new housekeeper with a limited budget for mechanical eonvenienrre. "Most crimes among Indians are caused by liquor. Up here they use little dope, but lots of liquor -when they can get It They can't buy It on the reservation, out get most of It In Spokane." FEOERaL WORKERS SOFIA. Bulgala (AP) Bul garia is suffering from a surplus of government employees. She must get rid of 10,000 of them not only for reasons of economy but because she has promised the League of Nations to do so in re turn for the help of that institu tion in procuring a stabilisation loan. In 1911 there were 49,000 civil ervants in Bulgaria among a: pop ulation of 4,400,000. Now, with 8,760,000 people within her boun daries, she has 84,000 functionar ies, besides a large number who are not on the regular lists of the civil service. These figures exclude too the officers and men In the army. HI opposed r CHURCH GRETNA GREEN, Scotland (AP) Threat of a curb on the matrimonial enthusiasm 'of visit ors to the peaceful little village has been renewed, this time by the United Church of Scotland. The freedom of weddings which has marked the town just across the English-Scottish border has been called "scandalous" by Dr. John White, the first Moderator of the recently united church, and he plans to ask Parliament for legislation to put a stop to the practice. "We shall approach the gov ernment soon with a suggestion that the Scottish marriage law be amended to conform with the stricter provisions of the Eng lish law," he said. "In seeking to find- a practical remedy for the scandal of the marriages of the Gretna Green type, care must be taken that any proposed legislation shall not In r WORD HUNT (Trademark) la the English language there are NINETEEN WORDS each havtofj just tlx letters) that begin with the letters H K A flf w ..O T A r X? iw"n unuy, or neia arm' f f".' ww a v u m ly.

It is well this is so, because the lack of high grade cows' milk there would create a great social pro Diem u this were not the prac tice. North America's mothers are glad to make all the sacrifices needed to rive their babies the advantage of breast-feeding. There is no doubt it Is an advantage a tremendous advantage particularly during the Summer months. There are always dangers of germ or bacte rial growth in the milk we buy. Unless it is properly kept it will speedily spoil. Low tempera tare is essential to its safety. There is no worry in this matter if the mother is able to nurse her baby. Her milk will be pure and rich and sweet, Unf ortunately, mother's health may not per mit her to do what she is eager to do.
