"A rope!" he demanded, without
paying any attention to us and diving
into corners of the loom. "Good heav
ens. Isn't there a rope in this con
founded house!"
He turned and rushed out, without
any explanation, and left ub staring at
the door.
"Bother the rope!" I found myself
forced to look Inte two earnest eyes
"Kit, were you very angry when I
kissed you that night on the roof?"
"Very," I maintained stoutly.
"Then prepare yourself for another
attack of rage!" he said. And Betty
opened the door.
She had on a fetching pale blue
dressing gown, and one braid of her
yellow hair was pulled carelessly over
her shoulder. When she saw me on
my knees beside the bed (oh, yes, 1
forgot to say that, quite unconscious-
ly, I had slid into that position) she
stopped short, just Inside the door,
and put her hand to her throat. She
stood for quite a perceptible time
looking at us. and I tried to rise. But
Tom shamelessly put his arm around
my shoulders and held me beside him.
"1—1 beg your pardon for coming
In," she said nervously. "But—they
want you downstairs, Kit. At least, I
thought you would want to go, but—
perhaps "
Just then from the lower part of the
house came a pandemonium of noises
rest of us were not crawling out
he is called | rear window while he held them at
ro'tund and look- <joor, they came In, three of them
and two reporters, and Jim led them
to the butler s pantry.
Here we found Anne, very white
and shaky, with the pantry table and
two chairs pi leu against the door of
the kitchen slide, and clutching the
chamois skin bag that held her Jewels.
She bad a bottle of Burgundy open
beside her, and was pouring herself a
glass wlti shaking hands when we
appeared She was furious at Jim.
"1 very nearly fainted." she said
hysterically. "1 might hate been mur-
dered, and no one would have cared.
1 wish they would stop thst chopping.
I'm so nervous 1 could scream."
Jim took the Burgundy from her
with one hand and pointed the police
to the barricaded door with the other
"That is the door to the dumb-wait
er shaft," he ssid. "The lower one is
fastened on the inside, in some man
ner. The noises commenced about
eleven o'clock, while Mr. Brown was
on guard There were scraping sounds
first, and later the sound of a falling
body. He roused Mr. Heed and my-
self, but when we examined the shaft
everything was quiet, and dark. We
tried lowering a candle on a string,
but—It was extinguished from below."
The reporters were busily removing
the table and chairs from the door.
"If you have a rope handy," one of
them said, "I will go down the shaft."
"The cage appears to be stuck, half-
way between the floors," Jim said.
"They are cutting hrough the door in
the kitchen below."
They opened the door then and cau-
tiously peered down, but there was
nothing to be sees. 1 touched Jim
gingerly on the arm.
"Is It—Is It Flannlgan," I asked,
"shut In there?"
"No—yeB—I don't know," he re-
turned absently. "Hun along and don't
bother. Kit. He may take to shoot-
ing any minute."
Anne and 1 went out then and shut

Then he retired, quite pleased with
himself.
One would have thought we had ex
haunted our capacity for emotion, but
Jim said a Joyful emotiou was so new
that we hardly kuew how to receive
It.
Then we all sat down and had some
champagne, snd while they were wait-
ing for the police wagon, they gave
some to poor McGuirk. He was still
quite shaken from his experience
when the dumb-waiter stuck. The
wine cheered him a little, and he told
his story, In a voice that was creaky
from disuse, while Tom held my hand
under the table.
He had had a dreadful week, he
said, he spent his days in a closet in
one of the maids' rooms—the one
where we had put Jim. It was Jim
waking out of a nap and declaring
that the closet door had moved by
Itself and that something had crawl-
ed under his bed and out of the door,
that had roused the suspicions of the
men in the house—and he slept at
night on the coal in the cellar. He
was actually tearful when he rubbed
his hand over his scrubby chin, and
said he hadn't had a shave for a week.
He took somebody's razor, he said,
but he couldn't get hold of a portable
mirror, and every time he lathered up
and stood In front of the glass in
the dining room sideboard, some one
came and he had had to run and hide.
We were all rather sorry for him,
but if we had made him uncomfort-
able, think of what he#.ad done to us.
And for him to tell, as he did later
in court, that If that was high so
clety he would rather be a burglar,
and that we Btarved him. and that the
women had to dress each other be-
cause they had no lady's maids, and
that the whole lot of us were In love

licious.

The second floor was empty. A ta-

BtairB, and a broken flower vase was
weltering in Its own ooze. Part way
down Betty stepped on something
sharp, that proved to bo the Jap

Here everything was in the utmost
confusion Aunt Sellna had fainted,
and was sitting in a hall chair with
her head rolled over sidewlse and the
poker from the library fireplace
across her knees. No one was paying
any attention to her. And Jim was
holding the front door open, while
three of the guards hesitated in the
vestibule. The noises continued from
the back of the house, and as 1 stood
on the lowest stair Bella came out
from the dining room, with her face
streaked with soot, and carrying a
kettle of hot water.
"Jim," she called wildly. "While
Max and Dal are below, you can pour
this down from the top. It's boiling.*'

"Carry out your own murderous de

started back with It, "Bella, for Heav

were wondering what they would do
should another arrest be made, when

McGuirk started, then shuddered

To tell you the curious story of how the mind

of food.
If he has been properly educated (the major-

machinery of digestion.
To start you thinking on this interesting
subject, I will try to lay out the plan in a general
way and you can then follow Into more minute

They were first put under chloroform or some other

When quite hungry some un-appetliing food was
placed before them and, although hunger forced them
to eat, lt was shown by analysis of the contents of tho
stomach that little if any of the digestive Juices were
found.
Then, in contrast, some raw meat was put where they
couldn't reach lt at once, and a little time allowed for
the minds of the dogs to "anticipate" and create an ap-
petite. When the food was finally given them, they de-
voured it ravenously and with every evidence of sat-
isfaction. The food was passed out into a dish through
the opening before it reached the stomach. It was
found to be mixed with "Ptyalir." the alkaline juice of
the mouth, which is important for the first step in di-
gestion. Then an analysis was made of the contents of
the stomach, into which no food had entered. It was
shown that the digestiv
freely, exactly as if tin
fluids of stomach were flowing
desirable food had entered.
This proved that it was not the presence of food
which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow
was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action
of the mind, from "anticipation."
One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over
an hour believing he was getting it into his stomach,
whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle went
out through the opening and yt all this time tin- di
gestive jui'fs Mowed to the stomach, prepared to
quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders of
the mind.
Do you pick up the lesson?
Unappetizing food, that which fails to create mental
anticipation, does not cause the necessary digestive
Juices to flow, whereas, foixl that Is pleasing to He
sight, and hence to the mind, will cause the complicated
machinery of the body to prepare In a wonderful way
for its digestion.
How natural, then, to reason that one should sit ('own
to a meal in a peaceful, happy state of mind and start
off the breakfast. Bay with some ripe delicious .truit,
then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, thin
bits of corn like Post Toastles. add a sprinkle of sugar
and some good yellow cream and the attractive, appetiz-
ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the
condition of mind which causes the digestive Juices
nature has hidden In mouth and stomach, to come forth
and do their work.
These digestive Juices can be driven back by a mind
oppressed with worry, hate, anger or dislike of the d>s-
agreeable appearance of food placed before one.
Solid facts that are worthy the attention of anyone
who esteems prime health and human happiness as a
valuable asset In the game of life.
