A second time he read the item in th Around Town column which stated that Otto Graber, president of the Graber-Vael Detective Agency, was leaving today for Ewing, Pennsylvania, on a two-week hunting trip. "Sportsman," the columnist described him, "and aviation enthusiast. Mr. Graber pilots his owm monoplane." Dan squinted thoughtfully at the north wall as if to peer through it into the office of his superior. So Otto was going away . . . hunting? Very convenient, he reflected, and very wise of Otto. The president's secretary paused in the doorway. "Mr. Graber wants you. There's a Mrs. Mc-( Donald with him. Probably expects you to frame her husband NERVOUS? Do you feel so "erv<?Ui?ty^J1e?wapt0 ^"^"d H______ ror threePgeL™i.iu,,3 Lydia6]*:. Pinkham^s Vegetable Compound.

He twisted around with a grin but the girl was gone into the quarters of the other partner, taciturn Horace Vael. Colwell squinted a last time at the newspaper piece about Graber, lifted his feet from the desk, and rose. He hesitated a moment, conscious of a sense ox expectancy that speeded his pulse. A good deal depended on the next few minutes. Dan had waited for this day through months of sordid divorce build-ups and jewel guarding assignments at the lavish balls of the Four Hundred. But this was not to be another dreary evidence hunt for the Court of Domestic Relations--nor any other court in the County Building. Door Marked "Private" Colwell went down the brief corridor and knocked on the door that bore Otto Graber's name and the warning He twisted the kiiob a"nd entered. "You want me, Chief?" Graber's stocky, Teutonic form was hunched well back in his chair, bTs powerful, pudgy hands laced over his stomach. He unclasped his fingers to scratch in his blond stubble of hair as he swung to Dan. ' 'Right." With sudden remembrance of courtesy Otto hoisted himself out of the chair. He gestured to his visitor, and following the movement Colwell saw a young woman in a trim dark suit with a flaring white bow at her throat, a fox scarf draped carelessly over narrow shoulders, a saucy little monkey hat. "Mrs. McDonald, Mr. Colwell. Wife of Arthur McDonald, the lawyer, Dan." He bowed and smiled. She was a stunning woman of twenty-five or so, a woman he would turn to watch if he passed her on the street. Her complexion was creamy, her mouth small and red and luscious as those Bing cherries that come in spring from California. Under a fringe of dark hair Colwell found wide brown eyes that were steady and warm, interesting eyes that held his until with a slight sensation of giddiness, he broke the spell. She turned to Graber who had quickly sat down again. "Yotfre sure this man is the very best obtainable?" "Sit"down, Dan. Ain't you the best private operative in town?" "Certainly." He drew up a chair and lowered his solid five foot eleven frame noiselessly as a cat. Graber laughed: it sounded a little forced. He flung a hand in the direction of two suitcases strapped and ready on the floor, with a stiff leather gun case lying across them. "See that item about me in the paper? I'm off to Pennsylvania, huntin'. So you're to report to Mrs. McDonald here direct--phone. I know the case and it's real special. She'll tell you as much as she wants. Now go ahead, Mrs. McDonald. Cohvell's your man." Story About Her Husband Dan reached to the open humidor on his employer's desk and ignoring Graber's quick scowl, selected a perfecto. He pulled wrapper off and passed the back and forth under his nostrife inhaling its pungent odor. Fifty cent cigars were beyond the mai-est pay of a private agency sleuth. Mrs. McDonald sat on the edfce of the chair, small hands clutching her gloves, her face very serious and worried. "I--just can't bring myself to repeat all the story, Mr. Colwell," she said in l| rich contralto. "It's about my husband, you see. He's--Arthur has ^ DICK TRACY FANS?

"Oh, your husband is well known," hjjfc nodded. "Well, many of his cases There are such rough, greedy x in the world, aren't there-?"-stunning ySung' woman went embarrassedly. "I--this is no divorce case, you know. My husband and I are very happy. But he's in danger. Someone wants to kill him. He doesn't know it--at lean I don't think so." She sank back; with an appealing look at Graber. "I just can't talk about it. Mustj I?" she begged. Dan knew the woman was acting, though she accomplished it with charm that would make a man ashamed to push her for more details. She was that steady type of personality who could speak straight out easily enough, if she cared to. But Graber came to the rescue as she desired. "Don't bother, Mrs. McDonald. Don't excite yourself. Colwell here asks no questions, just does what he's told." "You wish me to' shadow your husband, is that it?" "Yes Would you? And--protect him? Learn who is after him and, of course, keep the rascal from doing harm? And maybe turn him over to the police?" "Pardon me," Otto Graber interposed quickly, "you don't want that, I'm sure. I mean, not right off. This is darned unusual, see?" he explained to Dan, and twisted the black cigar from one corner of his wide mouth to the other. Graber leaned. "She's stirred up," he said in a low voice.

Here are the four most important steps in this precarious undertaking: 1. --Always turn the fowl on its side before carving. 2. --Begin by cutting into the drum of the leg with a few clean strokes of the knife and then pull it back from the body. 3. --In slicing the meat from the leg, carve toward the body of the bird. 4. --In carving the breast, cut toward the plate with clean, slow-strokes of the knife.

Autumn Ushers In Three New Modes Up-Brushed Hair, Daring Use of Color and Unusual Shoes NEW YORK.--Three new developments stand out conspicuously in city shops after two weeks of kaleidoscopic fashion shows. They are the up-brushed coiffure, the daring use of color, and the new shoes.

Shorter skirts have a lot to do with the concentration on shoes, too. The longer the expanse of stockinged leg put 011 view, the more noticeable the shoes are. On New Lines The spool heel, the quarter-inch platform sole on street and evening shoes, the two-inch clog sole on evening shoes, were seen in the retail shoes departments of the stores. The spool heel and the platform sole, particularly, are bound to be worn by so many women this fall that before long the eye will accept them easily. These two innovations make for refinement in shoe design. The days when heavy looking street shoes were in vogue seem to be over. Shoes made oh svelte, clinging lines, their gracefulness heightened by cutouts in the vamp and by high heels, are favored. Sometimes the focal point of the shoe's design is at the back, above the heel. Smeller-Outer An elderly Negro of Knoxville, Tennessee, walks about the streets and sniffs the air to detect leaking gas. Gas company pays him for each leak he discovers. If your boiled ct. :.u 1 begins to curdle remove frocr the fire and beat with a rotary beater. Quite a smooth texture will result.

A discoloured aluminum saucepan can be Improved by boiling up some water with a piece of lemon in it. Can you stand the strong odor caused by the boiling of cabbage? If you can't, you can counter the odor to some extent, by placing a small muslin bag filled with white bread in the pot. Dirty tennis balls will come up beautifully clean if you rub them hard with a circular motion on the rough doormat. This is a grand method of making them clean and far better than wettinK them, ass it doesn't' harm the rubber cr impair their bounce. Cottage Cheese You Make It With Sour Milk To make cottage cheese from sour milk: Put the milk into a basin, cover it, and leave until the curd is solid. Put a large piece of cheesecloth in another basin, so that it forms a sort of lining, leaving plenty to hang over at the rim. Pour the curds and whey into this; gather up the edges of the cheesecloth, so as to enclose the curds and whey; tie with string as close as possible to the solid mass, and hang on a tan in the sink and leave to drip for twenty-four hours. Then turn out of the cloth into a basin, add a very little salt, and beat well. After this, put the of < chee cloth or fine linen, roll it l sausage shape, turn in the en is of the cloth, and place between two plates, with a weight on ton. These easily-made little cheeses are really good food, and are delicious with crackers, brown bread and butter, and green salad^ or raw grated carrots.
