Truth The mystery by which oW Sam Stat ham sometimes passed beywd that whiteenameled door was inexplicable Whenever ho left the library to ascend the stairs Chart Rolf stole quietly out behind him and listenedA Sometimes ha distinctly heard the key In the lock at others It sounded as though the closed door yielded to Ws teach and swurig aside for him to pass beyond 3 t closed always with a thud as thaugh flit had been placed upon it to prevent any clang While Charlie watched the great finan- ciers every movement Max was unceas- ing in his inquiries regarding Marion Advertisements had been published in the personal columns of varjoui news papers and the private inquiry agents whose aid he had sought had been unre mitting in their vigilance The whole affair from beginning to end now showed the existence of some power- ful hand which had directed and ren- dered the mystery beyond solution The strange reappearance of Joan Adam and Leonard Lyle had been followed quickly by the extraordinary flight of Dr Petro vitch and Maud The latter had only an hour before she had disappeared into space made some remarkable confession- to Marion a eonfeaefon which might might not Samuel Statham from an ignominious death But the girl had preserved the secret of the confession confided to hex friend and preferring shams and mis- judgment the in tenj had disappeared whither no one knew The two men brother and lever who had now united their forces to solve the problem and at same time ascertain for what the secret of the house in Park latye really was were at their wits ends Their inquiries and their efforts always led them into a culdesac At every turn they seemed foiled and baffled And was it surprising when it was considered the power of Samuel Statham and jhe means at his command for the preservation of a secret Charlie felt that he was being watched hourly by one or other of those spies who sometimes gave such valuable informa- tion to the head of the firm Some of these secret agents of Statham he knew by sight but there were others unseen and unknown Even though Max and his friend were able to enter unheard and secrets them selves before the place was looked up by old Levi yet there was that white door barring their passage to the mystery Many times they discussed the possibilities and each time hesitated Charlie was sorely puzxled regarding the key of the iron door Sometimes it was undoubtedly used not At last one evening after both men had dined at the St James of which Max was a member they resolved upon a bold move Charlie suggested it and the other was at once ready and eager So after Max had been round to his rooms to put otua suit of darjc tweeds be went to Charlies chambers where the various implements were produced and laid upon the table It was then nearly 10 oclock Rolfe having sent Green to the other end of Jermyn street vt of the way drew out the whisky decanter from the tantalus stand poured out two pegs with soda and drank Success to the elucidation of old Stat hams secret Then carefully stowing the various articles in their pockets they sUpped down into the street and were out or sight before the inquisitive Green had re- turned Arrived In Park lane after a hasty walk they strolled slowly along by the park railings past the house All was in darkness save the hall where the elec- tric lamp showed above the fanlight Old Sam was probably in his smoking his last cigar for the shutters were that night closed as they sometimes were The shutters of the basement were also closed behind their Iron bus while at the upstairs windows all the blinds were carefully drawn Indeed the exterior of the house nothing unusual It was the as any other mansion in Park lane Yet there were many who on going up and down the thoroughfare afoot or on the motor buses jerked their thumbs at it aad whispered The house had earned a reputation for mystery Sam Statham was mystery in himself and of his house many weird things were alleged Thrice the pair passed and repassed At the corner of Deanery street stood a constable and while lie remained there it was injudicious to attempt an entry with a latchkey So they strolled back In the direction of the fountain conversing In undertones glanced at his watch and found that It wanted a quarter to U At last they crossed the road and pasted the door All seemed quiet At that moment the only object in sight was a receding motor bus showing Its red taillight Not- a soul was on the pavement- All clear cried Charlie scarce above a whisper as he slipped up the two or three steps followed by his companion That moment wed an exciting one Next second however the key was in the latch and without a sound the wards of the lock were lifted In another moment the pair stood within the brightlylit hall and the door was closed noiselessly behind them Standing there within a few yards of the door of the library where from the smell of tobacco smoke It was evident that old Sun was taking his ease they were in imminent risk of discovery Be- sides Levi had a habit of moving with out sQund in his old felt slippers and might any moment appear up the aaira from the lower regions Instinctively Charlie glanced upstairs toward the locked door But the next second he motioned his companion to fol low and stole on tiptoe over the thick Turkey carpets past the millionaires door and on into a kind of small consrv atory which lay behind the hall and was in darkness Though leading train the room behind the library it was a fairly good spot place of hiding yet so vigilant was old Levi that the chancos were he would come in there poking abeut ere he retired rest The two men stood together behind a bank of what had onoe bOa greenhouse plants but all of them bed died by neg lect and want of water long ago The range of pots and dried staflcs still re mained forming an effeotusl barrier be hind which they could conceal themselves Through the long Preach window of the room adjoining the light shone Charlie slowly creeping forward peered within Then he whispered to his friend and both men bent to see what was transpir ing The scene was unusual- A full view of the library could be ob tained from where they stood in the In th joom two of the big chairs had bean pulled up with a small coffee table between them on one side was old Sam lazily one ot his big cigars on the other was Levi lying baok his logs Stretched out smok ing with perfect equanimity and equality metal- lic sato herby the them lves some rma semi t and dark- ness crib I t o be- yond I pre- sented e a a- Max I as- a t wh lie ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ with his muter Upon the table was decanter of whisky and two glasses and judging from the amused countenances of both men Sam had ben relating to Levi something which struek the other as Humorous It was curious to say the least that Levi the humble even cringing servant should place himself upon an equality with his master That he was devoted to old Sam Charlie knew well tit this friendship he had never suspected There was a bidden reason for it all without- a doubt The two Intruders watched with breath neither daring to make a soun They saw Levi his cigar stuck in the side Of his mouth lean back and thrust his hands deep into his trousers pockets uttering some words which they could not catch Hh manner had Qbangtd and so had Sams Prom gay the pair had suddenly grown grave Upon the millionaires bpow was a dark shadow such as Charlie who knew him Intimate- ly In all his moods had seldom seen there Levi was speaking quickly his attitude changed as though giving serious ad- vice to which his master listened rith knit brows and deep attention Then with a suddenness that caused the two watchers to start the electric bell at the hall door sounded In an instant Levi tossed his cigar into the whipped off his glass from the table and in a single instant became the grave family servant again as with a quick gesture of his hand be left the room to answer the summons at the door In a few moments he returned closing the door quickly after him so that who- ever was in the hall could not overhear what was said Approaching hjs master he made some announcement In a whisper whereat the millionaIre clenched his flat and struck violently in the air Levi urged calm- ness that was evident from his manner Then Sam with a resigned air shrug- ged his shoulders paced the room in quick agitation and turned upon his serv- ant with his eyes flashing with anger Again Levi placed his thin hand on the ski mans arm which calmed him into almost instant submission Then the gravefaced oW servant went out and an instant later ushered in a woman all in woman whom in an Instant both Max and Charlie recognized They both stood watching breathless rooted to the spot The mystery as they afterward was Oven greeter than they had ever anticipated- It was beyond human credence TO BB CONTINUED TOMORHOW FASHIONS DECREES

¬ ¬ FROM WOMANS POINT OF VIEW There never was a time when furnish ing a Home from cellar to garret could be done mOre quickly economically and atttetieally than at the preent time The rts and crafts products lovely and restful to body and slept and the In- stallment system of payments obtains nearly everywhere I do not usually ad- vocate a burden of debt but I have been learning a few things from families which have bougtt homes and put forth their efforts to pay them from men who have begun business careers on borrowed capital apd from home lovers who have rented furnishings with the privilege of paying for them by the luionth Instances of foreclosures on mort- gages of all kinds are continually crop- ping up but they are only a email per- centage of the men and women ac- cumulate property on the installment plan They are generally the kind who do not save for the weekly or monthly payments before satisfying their other tastes Sometimes sickness or misfortune upsets the most carefully laid plans and about everything is swept away but these acci- dents are Incidental to any business There are hosts of people who would not save money but will economize in every way to pay an obligation like an Insur- ance premium or a debt It is an un- disputed fact that If we waited till we had the money with which to meet our desires we would never know them save In day dreams Purchasing perishable property on In- stallments Is not wise It seems like throwing away money to pay it out for things which have ceased to exist I know of working girls why buy clothing in that manner and are never out of debt Before the winter garments really belong to them they are planning for fresh ones to match the new season If sickness overtakes them Or It they of work they have debts to worry over They can save no money for a vacation and must meet tile demands of Christmas with fresh delfts I happen to know something of the methods employed by a house maid who Has to divide her wages with hor widow- ed mother On her meager share she manages to look very nice at all times for her mother doss her sewing and not only repairs her garments but makes them in the first place The girl is care ful and that means great deal ned when chance she has no situation there is a home to shelter her for the mother makes one for two young chil- dren There are three others to help it brother and sister both mar- ried and another sister who has lived in one family for ten years Naturally there is no money to squan dart so the workers are careful about qx peneee But the home has been pur- chased on weekly payments and is new secured to the mother I had an oppor- tunity to view another acquisition of de votees of the installment plan The fur- nishings of an extremely artistic flat were bought from a department store which was glad o make satisfactory terms of settlement There were no sur- plus pieces but quite enough for com- fort ant beauty and every article pos- sessed good wearing qualities A home would not have been possible under cash payments pair came Trom humble surroundings and had nothing to start with but health youth courage and steady employment for the man That was a creditable capital 1 must admit but not the equivalent of hard the couple wanted a home in which to beglh the new life Credit has Its virUses BeiTi BADBRK REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR GIRL Br HBLBN ROWLAND- A man always considers himself mighty clever when he can glide through the shallows of lovemak- ing without foundering on the rooks of matrimony The Rise which the average man bestows upon his wife is no more Inspiring then a pat on the head Choosing a husband is like pick- ing out the combination on a lot- tery ticket your first guess Is apt to be as good as your last Because a man has more money than brains it is no sign hes wealthy- A girl who has a brother has a great advantage over one who hasnt she gets a working knowl edge of men without having to go through the matrimonial inquisition in order to acquire it There Is nothing so easy for a man as forgetting ho scarcely takes time to throw a shovelful of dirt on the grave of a love before he is off new one TO a man love is only a side dish to a woman its the whole feast It Is easy for a man to love his neighbor as himself when his neighbor Is a rich and pretty BURIAL OP CROWN JEWELS ScottIsh Treasure tlm Was Hidden Beneath Pulpit of Parish Church From the Westmiaeter Gazette The curious story of the search among tombstones for the stolen regalia revealed in the minutes of evidence heard by the viceregal commission on the loss of the Dublin Castle jewels recalls the Interest Ing foot that tho Scottish orown jewels which mysteriously disappeared at the time jf the Cromwelllan Invasion wore burled for safety There were located In Dunottap Castle which was besieged by Cromwell and on tho eve of surrender Lady Ogilvie wife of the commander of the beleagurcd force managed to elude the besiegers and get the jewels out or the castle They ware burled beneath the pulpit In the parish church and the place whre they were hidden was never revealed till the Restoration Ogflvie was reworded with a baronetcy and Keith who misled the Cromwellians by stating that they wore in the possession of the exiled Charles II was made an earl The mysterious disappearance of the Dublin state jewels has had one curio j parallel Some years ago a casket jewels of the value of 13000 dis- appeared under circumstances of the greatest mystery from the house of the Duchess of Lslnetar In Dominic street Dublin In spite of the most thorough investigation no trace of the thieves could be discovered although rumor suggested that more than one person could throw light on the robbery The jewels were ultimately returned to their noble owner but to this we be- lieve the mystery of their disappearance remains unsolved At Greolpya Homestead the Boston Transcript Efforts to save the Horace Greeiey

OHAFEEE XLVI

To Learn tlie TruthThe mystery by which oW Sam Stat

ham sometimes passed beywd thatwhiteenameled door was inexplicable

Whenever ho left the library to ascendthe stairs Chart Rolf stole quietly outbehind him and listenedA Sometimes hadistinctly heard the key In the lock atothers It sounded as though the closeddoor yielded to Ws teach and swurigaside for him to pass beyond 3 t closedalways with a thud as thaugh flit hadbeen placed upon it to prevent any

clangWhile Charlie watched the great finan-

ciers every movement Max was unceas-ing in his inquiries regarding MarionAdvertisements had been published inthe personal columns of varjoui newspapers and the private inquiry agentswhose aid he had sought had been unremitting in their vigilance

The whole affair from beginning to endnow showed the existence of some power-ful hand which had directed and ren-dered the mystery beyond solution Thestrange reappearance of Joan Adam andLeonard Lyle had been followed quicklyby the extraordinary flight of Dr Petrovitch and Maud The latter had only anhour before she had disappeared intospace made some remarkable confession-to Marion a eonfeaefon which mightmight not Samuel Statham from anignominious death

But the girl had preserved the secretof the confession confided to hexfriend and preferring shams and mis-judgment the in tenj had disappearedwhither no one knew

The two men brother and lever whohad now united their forces to solve theproblem and at same time ascertainfor what the secret of thehouse in Park latye really was were attheir wits ends Their inquiries and theirefforts always led them into a culdesacAt every turn they seemed foiled andbaffled And was it surprising when itwas considered the power of SamuelStatham and jhe means at his commandfor the preservation of a secret

Charlie felt that he was being watchedhourly by one or other of those spies whosometimes gave such valuable informa-tion to the head of the firm Some ofthese secret agents of Statham he knewby sight but there were others unseenand unknown

Even though Max and his friend wereable to enter unheard and secrets themselves before the place was looked up byold Levi yet there was that white doorbarring their passage to the mystery

Many times they discussed thepossibilities and each time hesitatedCharlie was sorely puzxled regarding thekey of the iron door Sometimes it wasundoubtedly used not

At last one evening after both men haddined at the St James of which Maxwas a member they resolved upon a boldmove Charlie suggested it and the otherwas at once ready and eager

So after Max had been round to hisrooms to put otua suit of darjc tweedsbe went to Charlies chambers where thevarious implements were produced andlaid upon the table It was then nearly10 oclock

Rolfe having sent Green to the otherend of Jermyn street vt of the waydrew out the whisky decanter from thetantalus stand poured out two pegswith soda and drank

Success to the elucidation of old Stathams secret

Then carefully stowing the variousarticles in their pockets they sUppeddown into the street and were out orsight before the inquisitive Green had re-turned

Arrived In Park lane after a hastywalk they strolled slowly along by thepark railings past the house All was indarkness save the hall where the elec-tric lamp showed above the fanlight OldSam was probably in his smokinghis last cigar for the shutters were thatnight closed as they sometimes wereThe shutters of the basement were alsoclosed behind their Iron bus while atthe upstairs windows all the blinds werecarefully drawn

Indeed the exterior of the housenothing unusual It was the

as any other mansion in Park lane Yetthere were many who on going up anddown the thoroughfare afoot or on themotor buses jerked their thumbs at itaad whispered The house had earneda reputation for mystery Sam Stathamwas mystery in himself and of hishouse many weird things were alleged

Thrice the pair passed and repassedAt the corner of Deanery street stood aconstable and while lie remained thereit was injudicious to attempt an entrywith a latchkey So they strolled back Inthe direction of the fountain conversingIn undertones

glanced at his watch and foundthat It wanted a quarter to U At lastthey crossed the road and pasted thedoor All seemed quiet At that momentthe only object in sight was a recedingmotor bus showing Its red taillight Not-a soul was on the pavement-

All clear cried Charlie scarce abovea whisper as he slipped up the two orthree steps followed by his companion

That moment wed an exciting one Nextsecond however the key was in thelatch and without a sound the wards ofthe lock were lifted

In another moment the pair stoodwithin the brightlylit hall and the doorwas closed noiselessly behind them

Standing there within a few yards ofthe door of the library where from thesmell of tobacco smoke It was evidentthat old Sun was taking his ease theywere in imminent risk of discovery Be-sides Levi had a habit of moving without sQund in his old felt slippers andmight any moment appear up the aairafrom the lower regions

Instinctively Charlie glanced upstairstoward the locked door But the nextsecond he motioned his companion to follow and stole on tiptoe over the thickTurkey carpets past the millionairesdoor and on into a kind of small consrvatory which lay behind the hall and wasin darkness

Though leading train the room behindthe library it was a fairly good spot

place of hiding yet so vigilant was oldLevi that the chancos were he wouldcome in there poking abeut ere he retiredrest

The two men stood together behind abank of what had onoe bOa greenhouseplants but all of them bed died by neglect and want of water long ago Therange of pots and dried staflcs still remained forming an effeotusl barrier behind which they could conceal themselvesThrough the long Preach window of theroom adjoining the light shoneCharlie slowly creeping forward peeredwithin

Then he whispered to his friend andboth men bent to see what was transpiringThe scene was unusual-A full view of the library could be obtained from where they stood in the

with his muter Upon the table wasdecanter of whisky and two glasses andjudging from the amused countenances ofboth men Sam had ben relating to Levisomething which struek the other asHumorous

It was curious to say the least thatLevi the humble even cringing servantshould place himself upon an equalitywith his master That he was devotedto old Sam Charlie knew well tit thisfriendship he had never suspected Therewas a bidden reason for it all without-a doubt

The two Intruders watched withbreath neither daring to make a soun

They saw Levi his cigar stuck in theside Of his mouth lean back and thrusthis hands deep into his trousers pocketsuttering some words which they couldnot catch Hh manner had Qbangtdand so had Sams Prom gay the pairhad suddenly grown grave Upon themillionaires bpow was a dark shadowsuch as Charlie who knew him Intimate-ly In all his moods had seldom seenthere

Levi was speaking quickly his attitudechanged as though giving serious ad-vice to which his master listened rithknit brows and deep attention Thenwith a suddenness that caused the twowatchers to start the electric bell at thehall door sounded

In an instant Levi tossed his cigar intothe whipped off his glass from thetable and in a single instant became thegrave family servant again as with aquick gesture of his hand be left theroom to answer the summons at the door

In a few moments he returned closingthe door quickly after him so that who-ever was in the hall could not overhearwhat was said

Approaching hjs master he made someannouncement In a whisper whereat themillionaIre clenched his flat and struckviolently in the air Levi urged calm-ness that was evident from his manner

Then Sam with a resigned air shrug-ged his shoulders paced the room inquick agitation and turned upon his serv-ant with his eyes flashing with anger

Again Levi placed his thin hand on theski mans arm which calmed him intoalmost instant submission

Then the gravefaced oW servant wentout and an instant later ushered in awoman all in woman whom in anInstant both Max and Charlie recognized

They both stood watching breathlessrooted to the spot

The mystery as they afterwardwas Oven greeter than they had

ever anticipated-It was beyond human credence

FROM WOMANSPOINT OF VIEW

There never was a time when furnishing a Home from cellar to garret couldbe done mOre quickly economically andatttetieally than at the preent timeThe rts and crafts products lovelyand restful to body and slept and the In-

stallment system of payments obtainsnearly everywhere I do not usually ad-

vocate a burden of debt but I havebeen learning a few things from familieswhich have bougtt homes and put forththeir efforts to pay them frommen who have begun business careerson borrowed capital apd from home loverswho have rented furnishings with theprivilege of paying for them by the

luionth

Instances of foreclosures on mort-gages of all kinds are continually crop-

ping up but they are only a email per-centage of the men and women ac-

cumulate property on the installment planThey are generally the kind who do notsave for the weekly or monthly paymentsbefore satisfying their other tastesSometimes sickness or misfortune upsetsthe most carefully laid plans and abouteverything is swept away but these acci-dents are Incidental to any businessThere are hosts of people who would notsave money but will economize in everyway to pay an obligation like an Insur-ance premium or a debt It is an un-disputed fact that If we waited till wehad the money with which to meet ourdesires we would never know them saveIn day dreams

Purchasing perishable property on In-

stallments Is not wise It seems likethrowing away money to pay it out forthings which have ceased to exist Iknow of working girls why buy clothingin that manner and are never out ofdebt Before the winter garments reallybelong to them they are planning forfresh ones to match the new season Ifsickness overtakes them Or It they

of work they have debts to worryover They can save no money for avacation and must meet tile demands ofChristmas with fresh delfts

I happen to know something of themethods employed by a house maid whoHas to divide her wages with hor widow-ed mother On her meager share shemanages to look very nice at all timesfor her mother doss her sewing and notonly repairs her garments but makesthem in the first place The girl is careful and that means great deal nedwhen chance she has no situationthere is a home to shelter her for themother makes one for two young chil-dren There are three others to help

it brother and sister both mar-ried and another sister who has lived inone family for ten years

Naturally there is no money to squandart so the workers are careful about qxpeneee But the home has been pur-chased on weekly payments and is newsecured to the mother I had an oppor-tunity to view another acquisition of devotees of the installment plan The fur-nishings of an extremely artistic flatwere bought from a department storewhich was glad o make satisfactoryterms of settlement There were no sur-plus pieces but quite enough for com-

fort ant beauty and every article pos-sessed good wearing qualities A homewould not have been possible under cashpayments pair came Trom humblesurroundings and had nothing to startwith but health youth courage andsteady employment for the man Thatwas a creditable capital 1 must admitbut not the equivalent of hardthe couple wanted a home in which tobeglh the new life Credit has Its virUses

REFLECTIONS OFA BACHELOR GIRL

Br HBLBN ROWLAND-

A man always considers himselfmighty clever when he can glidethrough the shallows of lovemak-ing without foundering on the rooksof matrimony

The Rise which the average manbestows upon his wife is no moreInspiring then a pat on the head

Choosing a husband is like pick-ing out the combination on a lot-tery ticket your first guess Is aptto be as good as your last

Because a man has more moneythan brains it is no sign heswealthy-

A girl who has a brother has agreat advantage over one whohasnt she gets a working knowledge of men without having to gothrough the matrimonial inquisitionin order to acquire it

There Is nothing so easy for aman as forgetting ho scarcelytakes time to throw a shovelful ofdirt on the grave of a lovebefore he is off new one

TO a man love is only a sidedish to a woman its the wholefeast

It Is easy for a man to love hisneighbor as himself when hisneighbor Is a rich and pretty

BURIAL OP CROWN JEWELS

ScottIsh Treasure tlm Was HiddenBeneath Pulpit of Parish Church

From the Westmiaeter GazetteThe curious story of the search among

tombstones for the stolen regalia revealedin the minutes of evidence heard by theviceregal commission on the loss of theDublin Castle jewels recalls the InterestIng foot that tho Scottish orown jewelswhich mysteriously disappeared at thetime jf the Cromwelllan Invasion woreburled for safety There were located InDunottap Castle which was besieged byCromwell and on tho eve of surrenderLady Ogilvie wife of the commander ofthe beleagurcd force managed to eludethe besiegers and get the jewels out orthe castle

They ware burled beneath the pulpit Inthe parish church and the place whrethey were hidden was never revealed tillthe Restoration Ogflvie was rewordedwith a baronetcy and Keith who misledthe Cromwellians by stating that theywore in the possession of the exiledCharles II was made an earl

The mysterious disappearance of theDublin state jewels has had one curio jparallel Some years ago a casket

jewels of the value of 13000 dis-appeared under circumstances of thegreatest mystery from the house of theDuchess of Lslnetar In Dominic streetDublin In spite of the most thoroughinvestigation no trace of the thieves couldbe discovered although rumor suggestedthat more than one person could throwlight on the robbery

The jewels were ultimately returned totheir noble owner but to this we be-lieve the mystery of their disappearanceremains unsolved

Presidents served seventeen years anaverage of three and a half years or almost a full term each Harrison survivedhis inauguration only thirtyone daysseed Lincoln his second inaugurationfortytwo days so that Tyler and Johnton each practically served a full turinArthur and Roosevelt served three yearsand half and Fillmore two

Based upon past experience there Isone chance against four that a Presidentwill not serve his full term
