IN THE NAME O F THE LAW By DOROTHY DOUGLAS (OvUrrtcM, INI. k, AsoMMd b u r n Viwk.l Ruth Dexter stepped from the train at the Grand Central She breathed a sigh of relief aa her feet actually touched the sidewalks of the great metropolis. It was the first trip she bed taken by herself and the tedious Journey from Chicago had left her nerves shattered. Bewilderment mingled with her re lie f when she found herself one of the hustling thousands straggling about the station. " I arrest you In the name of the la w !” Ruth Dexter’s suitcase dropped from startled Ungers and the large plain clothes man who bad addressed fcta command to her picked It up. "Olve me my suitcase or 1 will call that officer!” The girl from the west spoke above the wild thumping of her heart. "That won't do any good Tou had better come quietly with me. I have a warrant h e re ” The man tapped bis pocket. Ruth Dexter cast a frightened glance about A small but Intensely Interested crowd had drawn near. "Take me wherever you are going— out of th is!” she cried quickly. The man. who should have been on the trail of Teddy the Terror Instead of run-away females, grinned. Ruth's submission to his wonderful power bad put him In a good humor; he could afford a little patronage. " I’d have got you on account of your likeness to the picture, but say. that suitcase was a dead give-away. A fter thia. Miss Deane, when you want to run sway from home don't flaunt your Initials and address." Ruth Dexter had been led Into a taxicab. The orders given by the de tective. who took his place at her aide, made a cold chill run down her spine. The word police station al most stopped her blood In Its course. Then gradually she felt her strength returning There wag a mistake— th at was all. She sat perfectly still. ft Was the First Trip She Had Taken by Herself. gathering her forces for the coming ordeal, and a slow smile played about the corners of her mouth. There was at least a hint of the unusual about her entrance Into New York. "May I see— my picture?” she asked presently. "I am wondering If the fam ily used one of my good ones.” "Sure. But I may say It's not a wery flattering one." The man cast a roughly admiring glance at his cap tive. "Thank you," she said as he banded her the photograph of a girl. Certainly It was not her own like ness, but the resemblance was strong enough to have caused even a more brilliant detective to have trailed In Ruth Dexter's footsteps. "I'll tell you,” the man went on facetiously, "they don't slip by us very often.” "I judge not—from my own ex perience.” The girl from the west smiled out of the cab window. "Oh, 1 do want to get out and see those shops!” she cried eagerly. , " I guess this Is all you’ll see of gbem. Your people will want you Bhlpped right back home.” "M y people would—If I were the iglrl you are looking for but— I'm not." The taxi stopped. "You can tell th at to the matron,” said the man as be lead her Into the police station. Ruth sat down In a more or lees turbulent state of mind, to wait for the next move. She bad decided that silence was the best policy. She -would not speak until some of the ■missing girl’s relatives came and could attest to her honesty. She would enjoy seeing the expression of tie r captor's face when he was told th a t she was not the runaway Ruby 'Deane. He was quite overcome with bis own Importance; It would do him and the detective force In general some good— this barbarous arrest. Ruth was beginning to become In dignant again when her attention ’ »as arrested by the entrance of a big, ^broad-shouldered man who looked as i t he had stepped from the ranks of th e west. H e wae In a hurry. An Impatient lo o k crossed his w hen Ruth's c a p to r touched Ids arm. "I've got her.” the man said trtura phantly, "got her Just as she was stepping from the train " Blank amassment spread over Cecil Deane's face. ”1 came In to tell you to stop th< search. My slater wired from Nlag ara Falla. She had eloped— that's all.” Ruth D exter w as m ore than sa tis fled with the effect of this bit ol newt on the man who had arrested her. One of her rare smiles curled the corners of her Ups and lingered In her eyes. Cecil Deane felt that something wonderful was happening In the of flee. He looked about and met the full fore« of Ruth Dexter'e eyes. "Don't tell me," he said going quickly over to her, "that you have been subject to to horrible an In dignity?" "I have,” Ruth looked up. Deane turned to the detective. "Great Scotti man. couldn't you see that my alster had mud-colored hair —not red gold—and that her chin, has no dimple and that her eyes------ " Ruth arose quickly, her cheeks warm and red. “I think the mistake was quite easily possible. The picture------ ” "Utterly Impossible,” put In Deane "My sister Ruby It tweet and lovable and all that but she le not------ “ He floundered. "It simply means." put In Ruth hurriedly, "that I am not your alater —or In fact, any member of your family ' 8he held Deane's eyes a moment "So If 1 may be permitted," she turned to the man who bad ar- rested her. "I w ill go out and send a telegram home. They might think something had happened to me." She cast such a wholly charming glance at both men, that they were forced to forget the situation and laugh with her. "I w ill take you to the nearest of fice If you will let me," Cecil Deane picked up the aultcaae with R. D on It, and together they made their exit from the house of Injustice. "You are evidently a stranger here," Deane remarked when he noted her helplessness as to directions. "Yes. I have come on from Chi cago to study and get a little atmos phere for my work. I don't know a single person In this great btg city.” She said It with such an air of wist fulness that Deane's heart thumped In sympathy. “And to think that they treated you so abominably the very moment you arrived." “I don't feel that I am being treat ed abominably." Ruth said with a little upward glance. "But I wouldn't for the world let my brother know about this or be would come straight to New York and take me home." "No. We w ill not let him know." Deane rejoined promptly. "W ill you let me atone In a small way and take you for a cup of tea? I know a place that I am sure w ill please your fancy and make you forget that you have been arrested and taken for a strange man's sister." "I don't want to forget—right away." said Ruth, shyly. "But I would be very grateful for a cup of tea. The last thing my brother said to me when he put me on the train was to get a cup of tea as soon as I reached New York Calvin knew I wouldn't feel at home until I had sipped some tea." "Is Calvin Dexter your brother," Cecil Deane stopped short and waited for her answer. "He and I went to school together. You know I am from Chicago, too.” Ruth smiled at the verification of her first estimate of him. "Yes, he Is my brother." “Old Calvin once said to me that he knew the only girl in the world who could put up with me.” said Deane, laughing boyishly. "Are you as bad as all that?" Ruth questioned. "W ell, I Just had a way of wanting a girl all to myself------ And I am going to w rite and tell Calvin that I have taken his sister under my wing." he finished. " I ’m going to teach her New York and other things!" "Calvin,” she said, "w ill be very happy.” Drugs In the Tropics. Quinine stands first on the list of drugs for the tropics, epsom salts next, then come calomel, castor oil, tincture of Iron, or liquor of perchlor- Ide of Bon, opium and brandy. A large majority of the drugs most used are those well known to the doctors of two generations ago. One medical missionary has worked out the quantities of the twelve drugs that would be necessary for the treat ment of 20,000 patients in a year. He estimates that the approximate cost would be $325. His list Includes 30 pounds of quinine. 300 pounds of ep som salts and 200 gross of a tonic pill. On some rivers of the Malay states are dispensary boats that reach distant points, where quinine and oth er necessary medicines are distribut ed by the government to the malaria- stricken natives, who would be with out remedies except for this chari table measure of relief.—Consular Re port from Singapore.

RULES FOR SEA TRAVELERS HOW TO MAKE JELLY STAND MANY WAYS OF MAKING SALAD On Navigation Courtesy and Proper Poise In Qualm«. the "Do not Interfere with the captain In the performance of his duties, or offer suggestions In navigation baaed up. a your own experience In running s catboat on l-ake Mohonk,” John Ken drick Bangs taya In Harper's Weekly. There are few captains now In the transatlantic service who have not eroased the ocean several times, and *e know of none who has acquired hie knowledge of the sea In a correspond ence school. "If the lady with golden hair seated In the steamer chair next to yours inadvertently puts her head on your houider and groans, do not rudely re move It, but whistle a soft lullaby aa If you did not notice tbe act.

Have you ever counted up the num ber of steps which you have made In the course of one day— In going to business. In walking from one room to another at home, and so on, throughout the course of tbe day? If you will take the trouble to do so, you will be surprised to find wbat a distance you have covered without realising It. Multiply tbos distance by 365 and you will find that It will not require many years before you have made up the 25.000 miles which le equal to the circuit of the globe. Most people would certainly be sur prised If they were Informed that during the course of their lives they have walked a distance as great as the length of the equator. Yet, how ever sedentary we may be. however little Inclined to gain the reputation of a globe-trotter or of an Alpine climber, most of us have, unknown to ourselves, covered a distance equal to tbe full circuit of the earth, or a climb to the highest mountain peaks In the world. More than that, we have accomplished a task still more colossal. Without having had occasion to explore the unknown rer -ns be neath the crust of the earth, we have descended as far as the depths of the most unfathomable abysses, even as far as the very center of the earth.— Strand Magazine. Century Old Churches. An Interesting fact, and to many people a surprising one, Is that of the 6 000 Congregational (orthodox) churches now existing In the United States 763, or more than 12Vi per cent., were organized a century or more ago and have since continued their activities In company with the American board. All of them are lo cated In New England, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Connecticut 60 per cent, of the present 332 Congregational churches are at least 100 years old, as are more than one-half of those In New Hampshire, nearly one-half In Ver mont and -about 40 per cent. In Mass achusetts. Only that a considerable number of churches that were Con gregational then are Unitarian now, the proportion would be somewhat larger. Higher Criticism Wanted. "There are two things my three- year-old wants to know,” said the young mother. "He says his little prayer every night without the slight est Idea, of course, of what It all means, and he Is always asking me, 'Where Is I-ay Me's house and what Is God Bless's other name?' If any body can tell me I'll be much obliged.’ Old Houses. Old houses have a far larger com mercial value than their owners al ways remember.

One cup raw whole rice, one plot milk, one pint water, one ?up dark molasses, one teaspoon- ful salt, one-third nutmeg In mixing use half a pint milk with molasses, etc. Put In oven to bake In a deep, earthen pot. After It has been In moderate oven about one-half to three-quarters ot an hour, or when the rice begins to swell, stir from the bot tom thoroughly, then add balance of milk, only stirring slightly from the top the tame as you would Indian pudding. Thia makes the whey. Bake two hours. Best to mix early In the morning, leavlug out the ntllk aa that allows the rice to swell, before bak (ng. but you are not obliged to do this Try thia and report. Bake Just the same as your Indian pudding Do not allow it to be too solid when done. Add more milk It necessary. Expe rlence w ill teach you when It Is baked right. It Is fine. Keep the Preserves. All Jarred fruit should be kept In a dry, cool and dark place—a cloeet built In the cellar Is excellent. It should be provided with lock and key. Tomatoes should he wrapped In news paper In addition. If Jars sre to do duty a second sea son they must be carefully opened. Prying at the lid with a knife, wrench Ing or desperate twisting Injures the ltd and chips the glass edge of jar. Use a Jar opener that acta like a lev er, and If that fails to work easily Immerse the Jar In boiling water for a minute, and It will open quickly. As soon aa a Jar la opened wash It carefully In s«ap and water, rinse well and put on the lid loosely. Have a safe shelf to keep empty Jara on Instead of pitching them In a heap In a cor ner; It saves much work when they must be used again. Tomato Preserves. Select good, solid, ripe tomatoes, peel and slice. To every pound of tomato use a good half-pound of sugar Let your tomato boll for a half-hour or more; then add youY sugar; wash and slice two lemons, add to above It depends wholly on the amount of tomatoes, the amount of spices you use, and you must Judge the latter to suit your taite. Use a little ginger, plenty of stick cinnamon, some ground cinnamon, and very, very lltlte ground cloves. Too many spices will make your preserves dark. It depends on the tomatoes the length of time to boll. Home tomatoes are more watery than others. Boll and test the same as any other preserves. The above recipe Is for either ripe red tomatoes are the little yellow ones. Whole Wheat Bread. The most palatable bread Is made of mixed flour.
