Cool Dark Closet Best Fer Storage The best storage place for fabrics is not the traditional attic but a dark storage closet on a lower floor, according to results of a four-year test conducted by textile scientists of (lie United Btates Department of Agricul- ture. Most attics become very hot in the summer, and heat has been found to cause deteriora- tion of stored fabrics. Tests, Science Service reports, were made in both new and de- sized cotton sheets and degreased woollen samples stored at 102 degrees Fahrenheit, the average attic temperature, and at room temperature, Changes' in these fabrics: Were not enough to make them unserviceable, but they wero found to deteriorate moye in hot- storage. The fabrics ame weak and tender, and cottons and lin- ens yellowed, Linen stood up bet- ter than other fabrics under the tests, ~ Greater chemical deterioration was. caused when light reached the stored fabrics, light damaging linen more than high temperature, Shirt Research Prof, Paulene B.

General Ifoulkes flung open the door of the telephone cabi- net, his eyes wide and bright, his face flushed. "Sybil!" he called. Oh, there she was in the hall, Good God! In her white dress she looked like a marble figure, a corpse, "Sybil, he's alive!" Mhe General strode forward and touched her. "Sybil darling, he's alive," P "1 heard, Daddy. 1 heard," she whispered, And for the first time in the General's memory she suddenly burst into a flood of tears, shaken from head to foot by violent sobs. "There, there, my dear. He's alive." He's been seen. He's all right. Don't cry." ) The girl sprang to her feet and fled up the broad staircase. "Well, well," sighed the Gen- eral as he returned to the library. "Kittle cattle, women." And now what? . i * * By next moriiihg Sybil Ffoulkes was a different girl, A crushing weight of grief had fallen from her shoulders as if she had drop- ped a load of lead. Grief, mis- ery, aching despair had turned to joy, delirious happiness. He was alive. What else mat- tered? What if he had heen court-martialed and cashiered, dismissed from the army with ignominy, publicly proclaimed as unfit ever again to serve the State in any capacity whatso- ever. He was alive. And then one day that dawn- ed just like any ordinary day, there came a letter enclosing one essed to Colonel Marringfon- Spens and sent on for General Ffoulkes to read, a letter bear- ing an Indian stamp with the Peshawar postmark, and in it was fresh information, ISSUE No. 27--43 c Welcome Relief for SHARP, SEARING STOMACH PAINS Do you suffer distress after meals-- indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, sour stomach, gas, excessive acid?

St, --been a trooper in Napier's Horse _ European in India, Actually Major, Hazelrigg had seen Richard Wendover in a Pathan village beyond the North- weet Frontier, and although ho had been unable to communicate with him had had no shadow of doubt that it was yeally he, alive and well, Major Hazelrigg, himself in dis- guise, had had to go on his 'way to India, but his immediate job beings completed, he had spent his ensuing leave in trying to get to the bottom of the truth of the matter of Wendover's disgrace and degradation -- now that he knew for certain that Wendover was alive, He had found Wend- over living as a Pathan in the retinue of the Khan of Khairas- tan, whose son, Shere Khan, had nad had always followed the for- tunes of Captain Richard Wend- over, to whom he was devoted, * J ' J In the role of Inayatullah Hus- sein, Afghan horse-dealer, he had visited the house of Shere Khan, which .was near the Khan's fort of Khairabad, and had on his departure induced Richard Wend- over, alias Gul Mahommed, the Pathan soldier of fortune, to ride out "with him a short dis- tance and put him on his way. When they were alone he had suddenly addressed Wendover by name, told him who he hiwself was, and forced him to drop his pretense of being a genuine Pathan who understood no Eng- lish. Gradually Wendover had thaw- ed to his friend, had expressed his gratitude to Him for devoting a whole leave to ging into his case with a view to proving his innocence, but had added that in point of fact he really wasn't interested nowadays, He hadnt the slightest desire to go back to India, or to have anything more to do with the people who had so easily believed in his guilt. The Army had kick- ed him out, and out he would stay. + Besides, he loved his present way -of: life and far preferred it to that of "civilization," that of a As Hazelrigg said good-bye to Wendover he had begged him not to disappear from Khairabad, but to wait, just to wait a little longer, to which Wendover had with a sarcastic laugh replied only "Wait!" a * * * And again the brilliant hues of happiness and hope _ restored, . beautificd-the thoughts-and soul and life of Sybil Ifoulkes. He was alive, he was well, he was known to he living in Khair- astan, and she had a link with him in Major Hazelrigg. And now what was the best thing to do? Obviously she must go to India and to the town or other inhabitable place that was near- est to Khairastan, "Where is Khairastan, Daddy?" she, asked that night when she went for her usual session in the library before going to bed, "Northwest Irontier. I'm not absolutely certain as to whether It is on the Tochi River in Wazir- astan, or the: Kurram River farther north. I rather fancy it is that way, betwoen Safed Koh and Jalalabad.

I'm not certain who is Commissioner of Peshawar, or who is Governor of the Northwest Frontier Province at tho moment; but Archie Vere- Vaughan commands the Peshawar Brigade, He's an old friend of mine, Coming home next. year, as a matter of fact. 1 made a note to ask him to eome and shoot." i "Vere-Vaughan, Is there, a "No. He's a widower.

"Write like that with a view to his replying that he hopes you'll come and stay with him and his daughter, eh?" "Phat's the idea." "Yes, Archie Vere-Vaughan woull be delighted, I'm sure, And I've not the slightest doubt that his daughter would be very glad of a girl visitor.
