I laughed and helped him out:
"Ile never would atccept orders front

likely that title old American law book
must have been the property of an

the plate would have been designed

"Especially" added the captain "as
the design is pictorial La was nat-

royalist sympathies and aristocratic
clientele he almost always made be
raldic designs for bookplates-ghat is
designs showing the family pool of

common would have led him to make
a pictorial plate If he ever did"
"May I have a look at it now?"
asked Mr Case as Mr Roberts closed
the hook to drink his nonsensical tea
"Rather an Imaginative picture isn't

She avidly swooped up everything
In sight yes thanks to her Industry

seemed contagion& Tim teapot was
now drained and Captain Ashland
moved that the session should adjourn

CHAPTER VII
Night Watch
"Tell me shell you be able to sell
the book and the bookplate separately
tor live hundred an't ten dollars to-
getherr demanded Nancy
I had to wait one whole second be-
fore deciding what to say and it too
her far less than that to Minger he
self to the large oak chair jus va
cated by the captain and a thick J)II
of papers to my desk "Please look
at My work and tell we if it is right
so I can go on" ahe requested "And
what about the five hundred and ten
dollars?"
"If you want to get on at all you
will have to occupy yourself with what
concern!' you" I said
"Wail a minutei There's more
about the book Just now Wilkey
nearly died after rd said I'd do what
she told me r
"You haven't mentioned that occa
Won"
"And hour ago she 'piked me to help
you though II would be an ordeal
especially since I woe inexperienced
I said I was here to learn besides all
my letters were finished though the
other girls weren't Then she asked
me very sweetly to Inquire of Mr
(use who was aiwuye so nice whether
there had been any (diet yet for that
old law hook she had sent down to
You by me on Monday afternoon She
(old het cousin Magistrate Juddes
would give a hundred dollars for It if
that would be enough"
'"And you have not asked Mr Case'
Nancy its vulgar to wink"
"And I am really most refined as
enybody can see: When have I had
a chimes to ask Mt rase anything?
I had tonly time to slop in the stock
room and look at their telephone di
rectory while I was telling Dennis to
go up and say I found my typewrite
wouldbe required after all and
there really is a Magistrate Juoidest
And now IF no USI4 asking Mr‘ ease:

worse hole than ever Perhaps If you
have it right by you flti might have
a chine to make somehody buy It

I felt touched
'"Naney dear" I promised "I'm go-
ing to wilte the most alluring posditle
indvertisement of thet colittne and
also of the boukplate No Judiles
sholl ley his tnerauding fingers upon
it until the world is apprised lit ell

Odd Mixture Made of Business and Religion
In uptown New York there is a
tiegre church in which attending serv-
ices Is an all-day alT4ir on Sundays
The ctwgregation spends from eight
to ten hours in the house of prayer
and meals and social circles interlard
sermons and Bible classes
Perhaps the moat practical feature
lit the weekly gathering has to do
with business &leathers of the flock
are invited to pass along their special
wants to the pastor and he in turn
priwialms them from the pulpit
Thus if one has a piano or a prim
set for sale it may be described aP
alluringly as desired the price moo
'toned and the name and address of
th "brother" or "sister" broadchst
if one wants a lob or a boarder the
details are set forth in the same man-
ner Recently a case of theft WaP
handled as follows:
"Mail dear brothers an alstern
nanda Rose Abernathy has icst her
beautiful pearl brooch—at least she
likes 10 think It were lostnbut she
know the devil often end things for
folks what aloft lost—so It any of you
have found it hi Ouch eventuality
discreetly viewing Naticy's back
"Kld's doing better elt?"
a great worker" I compro-
Vsed I looked at Peter's downcast face
and a thought that had occurred to
me over the steaming kettle reverted
I felt convinced that be as carrying
some heavy secret burden relating to
Julia Grosvenor I had neve forgot-
ten'that state of frantic alarm which
had seized him on the threshold of
Me Case's office last Monday though
ever since his manner had been so
calm as to be almost ijniiauirnl par-
ticUlarly when ne and I had been
talking to Mr Alloy it I could have
only told him of my visit to Julia Of
her recognition of him in the shop
her relief on hearing that he had de
flied all understanding of her excia
!Afton I But knowing that that visit
was confidential I merely said:
"Buck up Peter! it's up tt yo to
come hack from itaynes—whatever It
Is—with your shield or on it Others
can be relied on to keep the home
tires burning"
Peter looked grateful but sold noth-
ing for at that instant Nancy swung
round and saw hint Ile nut men'e
first question to woman
"When are you going home?" he In-
qui'ed sternly
"At six o'clock" said Nancy sweet-
ly viewing him with calm appraisal
"Constance come and have dinner
with us"
"No thank you—thank you both
very kindly" I repeated as Peter
urged the invitation on me brightly

USE 'BUCKLES IN NOVEL WAY
EXOTIC PRINTS NOW POPULAR
i
'A
ARVELOUS what one little
111 buckle and a self-fabric loop
or two can accomplish In the way
of imparting the coveted style
touch There's the charming spring
coat in the picture for Instance
Can fancy conjure a model of more
convincing chic? And when the
k desire of possession which sweeps
'over one at first glance Is analyzed
It will be found directly traceable
to the fact of the unusual she fas-
tening achieved by one tricky
buckle plus a novel fabric loop Of
course the fancy seaming which
swirls around the hemline and
front opening in semi-circling rows
to meet the buckle and stitched
loop has considerable to do with
the SW -Mess of this cola Then
too the tan velours cloth 'of which It
Is made is of exquisite texture and
quality-kind fabric always counts for
much when It comes to patrician
mode Even the boutonniere Is of the
cloth of the coat
That which is true of this model In
regard to arresting detail applies to
coats in general this spring It is the
thousandand-one intriguing Ideas"
Involved In their styling which Is cap
turing feminine fancy -
No doubt the fact that so many
coats are without fur made it impera-
tive that stylists resort to a strategic
fabric manipulation as an avenue of
new appeal As a result there is an
Interesting array of scarfs and capes
appearing on the latest coats Multi

CHARMING SPRING COAT
In black red and yellow The blouse
is white—a very startling contrast to
the bizarre print Which of course
Is just as the mode would have it—
flamboyant debonair beguiling No
tic too It you please that the skirt
Is plaited all-the-way-round—anothet
of fashions edicts for modern styling
The plaited skirt herewith and the
hemstitched silken square about the
shoulders leads to a word of suggew
tion to home dressmakers To take
the silk print to the Waiter is a maw
ter stroke of genius This is because
machine plaiting has a way of over
coming that bugaboo—"homemade
look While about it why not order a
square of matching silk to be hem
stitched?
Any resourceful woman who would
achieve a costume of distinction
would do well to buy a separate mono
tone blouse either white black itsvY
or some pastel shade if not gray or

beige Supplement this investment
with the purchase of a few yards of
bright silk print Having had suf

Is a very easy matter to attach it to a

straps Add the Inevitable kerchief
square and there you have It--a spring
costume de luxe which will not be

nue One tould go even further in
the path of economy and Individuatity
by buying several separate blouses if

Insuring diversified costumes
And have you beard the latest as to
what some Ingenious women are doing
in regard to the spring ensemble?

The surplus silk Is purposed to line

and so it didn't know anything about

"It didn't even know of him by rep-

flowers talking of their family his-
tories and what happened in the au-
tumn "ALA what do yea suppose that
lithe flower said?"
"What?" asked thePersian lilac and
the white lilac
"It asked the first spring flower if
Jack Frost would come around and
touch us and It said what a pity it
would be to see the three Iliac bushes
frost bitten"
"Well that was a joke" said the
Persian lilac and the white lilac for
they thought the end of the story had
been reached
"The very idea" said the Persian
lilac "of our ever being bitten or
nipped by Jack Frost"
"That's why I thought it was such
a joke This poor flower grown from
a bulb knew nothing about us at all
And then—what made it even fun-
nier—" "Oh there's more to comet" ex-
claimed the Persian lilac
"I'm 'listening" said the white
lilac
"It asked the first spring floWer If
the lilacs were ever nipped by Jack
Frost In the au-
tumn too for it
thought we were
so beautiful and It
would be such u

were frost bitten?

"To think it lilt

the Persian lilac
"Ah for us" said "m"
the purple lilac 'They Have Only
"we only want the 0 Season"
spring the spring
of soft breezes and warm sunshine—
with everything coming out flowers
leaies shrubs and the children gath-
ering our big branches and saying
how fragrant and beautiful we are"
"Yes" said the white lilac "the
spring is our time"
And the Persian lilac agreed Just
then eome children came out of the
house near the Iliac trees and one of
them said:
"It seems a pity we only have lilacs
In the spring but perhaps it makes us
love them and appreciate them all the
more because they only have one sea
son—the spring"
Attraction and Repulsion
Get a taucer of water a lump of
sugar a small piece of soap and a
number of hits of matches or tooth-
picks and you are ready for an in-
teresting experiment First place
some of the bits of wood In the water
In the saucer so they will float we
will call 'them boys Now drop the
piece of soap In the water among the
"boys" and see how they will run
away from it Boys don't like soap
you understand
Now take a fresh saucer of water
and drop some neiv match-bits into It
and call them girls Next drop the
piece of augur into the water and see
how the girls will run to It because
It is sweet
Perhaps you would like to know why
the little bits of wood behave so dif-
ferently In the two cases Without
