Mad kv.
"Now, how id tuuket dhl Smith
gel that rupo ladder up there In the
rtrst place?"
Lillian stood beneath Katla'a win-
dow. gaslng upward, a* Tom Chf -
W>r's flashllxbt trawled up and down
;he aid® of the house.
••Jlist stand still a minute, Mrs.
Graham. Will you take this flash-
light* I hove another."
Tom Chester spoke quietly, bu:
with something in his voice which
made me guess that ho had noma
theory oi* the answer to Lillian's
question. And as he pressed the
flashlight Into my hand-a bit of
thoughtfulness which strongly up-
pealed to mo—the light from another
gleamed from his hand nnd traveled
with him around the oorner of tho
house.
'"That's a good boy," Lillian whta
pered approvingly. "Has ideas and
initiative, qualities whoaa fairy own
ors are often absent at christenings.
Wonder what he's up to now."
Her question was quickly answered
by young Mr. Chostor's reappear
anoo. He was breathlug a bit heav-
ily, aa If ejccited and hurried, but his
voice was cool, even casual.
"I think I've found his trick, Mrs
Underwood," ho said. "There's a big
horse chestnut around here at the
side, and I'm sure I can reach th«
end of the veranda from one of th"
branches. And once there it's com
paratlvely easy, though allppery, to
get to the part of the roof where
this Is fastened. I'll Just sktn up
that way now."
A Test!
"Pardon me. dear child, but you'll
do nothing of the kind," Lillian Inter-
rupted decidedly. "Ill have no
broken necks or even collar bones
upon ray conscience. There's a long
ladder in the barn which they use
for picking apples. Here's the key
to the padlock of the barn. You can't
fail to see it when you once get ln-
aide the door."
"All right. I'll have it back here
in a jiffy.'' As he took the key and
hurried toward the barn I heard a
low chuckle from Lillian.
"Poor lad!" she said with humor-
ous yet tender commiseration. "He's
so disappointed not to be able to
swing spectacularly from treo to
roof, risking life and limb while fair
ladies look breathlessly on. But he's
game enough to accept the mora
prosaic method, cheerfully nnd with-
out delay, for which I'll give him n
long credit mark."
A light broke upon me nnd made
me secretly chagrined because of my
own lack of insight. She had been
testing Tom ( heater, for she had
known herself how Smith reached
the roof, but had wished to observe
tlu- reaction of the youth to her an-
noyed inquiry.
"Why do you suppose Smith didn't
use the ladder in the barn?" 1 asked
idly, and bethought myself of the j
idiocy of the question too late.

One good piece of news. Tho
j hou*e votes $5u0,000 to prosecuto
thieving profiteers of the war period.
Attorney General Daugberty has
promised to go after those gentle-
men. He knows how to do it, and it
is safe to say that some profiteers
will have a chance to expluin ho r
they got it, what they did with it,
and possibly to give some of it back.
The supreme court declares un-
! constitutional the child labor lawr,
intended to protect children from
i their exploiters. Supreme court
judges are learned and honest. But
—Uy 11 ALTER ill) ti A ti did the men that wrote the Consti- .
tution intend to make it impossible
for congress to protect children from
hardship?
Interesting, by way of contrast,
the supreme court yesterday de-
clared the 80-cent gas rate confisca-
tory. therefore unconstitutional. This
will puzzle some that do not under-
stand technicalities. The highest
court decides that congress hasn't
the power to protect children whose
lives are confiscated in industry, an"!
that the state of New York hasn't
power to limit the gas rate to 80
cents. To prevent confiscation of
children's health is unconstitutional.
To confiscate gas company profits
is unconstitutional.
Supreme court, division number 3.
The great court condemned a law
that would check gambling in grain!
futures, calculated to increase the
cost of bread.
In France they put you in jail for
such gambling. Here the supreme
court decides that you mustn't inter-
fere with it. Supreme court judg-
ments are all sincere. And ihey make
you know that this is, since the czar's
death, the most conservative country
I in the world.
Last night at College Point, Long
Island, was opened the first light-

Tens of thousands of years ago
the first bonfire was lighted on the

That also was great progress.
We go ahead slowly, thanks to

"I fancy." she went on. "it was
only by the sheerest accident that
you saw him at all. 1 believe that
he kept himself concealed by grasp-
ing the side of the window, hiding
his body that way, and leaving him-
self free to look in on us. But no-
body could stand that position long,
holding himself and the ladder
against the widow with one hand, so
he was frequently obliged to shift
to the other side of the window and
use the other hand. It was on one
of those Bhifts when he was swing-
ing free, that, you happened to look
toward the window and catch sight
of him. Is it clear now?"
"Please don't rub it in." I said. "I
ought to have—"
"No, you oughtn't" she retorted
briskly. "Don't be an idiot jU8t be-
cause you know how. Remember,
you haven't been up against the in-
genuity o? Mr. Smith's type as often
as I have. It's an old story to me. 1
have a catalogue of the original
fifty-seven varieties and then some.
But here comes our friend with the
ladder. Be ready to lend a hand to
help balance It. We don't want it
to make any noise."
The next few minutes wer9 busy
r#nes. With Lillian and me on cither
side of the big ladder, Tom Chester
raised It cautiously, sot it firmly
against the house, ran tip It lightly
and gracefully, reached the roof,
dropped to his knees, and began to!
play the flashlight upon the shingles
beneath him.
"Stand clear to catch this." be said
softly, then he laid the flashlight
down near him. began to fumble at!
• point just above the outline of the
rope ladder.
The next moment the contrivance
came hurling toward us. to be caught
in our willing hands. We began to
roll it up, while Tom Chester let his
flashlight play over the portion of
the roof around him. evidently
searching for some trace Smith
might have left of his presence there.
At last he gave a supprssed little ex-
clamation. nnd the next minute he
had descended the wooden ladder
again.
' When I get this ladder put away."
he said. "I think I have something
to show you which will interest you."

Saturday, May 20, is the day on
which Babe Ruth gets into action
again. He will find that a rival in !
the roster of four-base sluggers is
going to keep him "stepping" for
the home run record oi the year, that
is, provided Ken Williams doesn't
fizzle. If Williams should continue
at his present rate, at least fifty-five
four-base clouts will be marked up
on the records beside his name. It I
isn't likely that he will do it, but the j
chances are that with his start he j
will be ahead of Ruth when uniforms |
are laid aside.

Even if your garden is only a small

Thus, if you have some early po-

to give them a little protection with

One of the most important things
to attend to in the whole garden, j

of *he little seedlings of such plants
as lettuce, turnips, carrots, onions
and beetroot. You must not expect
one single thinning to be enough;
but every few days, as the plants
grow.larger, you must take out more
and more of all those little seedlings
which touch one another, until each
one lelt has amide room to grow to
its full size. If you do not do this
constantly and thoroughly, you will
have nothing but weak and straggly
plants, which will scarcely repay you
for the trouble of sowing the seed.
