I'-'* '? BORODAY, THE RU$8f&N, HAS AN UNC( BLE INTERVIEW WITH THE POLICE CHIEF* Synopsis--For years old Hi lary Kingston lived with his daughter, Elinor, in a beautiful home on a hill In the suburban village of Woffingham. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter very good looking and gentle. In reality Kingston -was head of an an archist band, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr, Ward, a young bache lor, began to take an uncommon Interest in Elinor. CHAPTER III--Continued. Ward had risen. He towered far above Elinor. Because of his heavy shoulders, he never looked his • full height Boroday, in the corridor, stole a moment from his anxieties to find the young clergyman every inch of a man, and to throw him the grudging admiration of defeated middle-age for yoftth and vibrant life*. "Then I shall not send for the rec tor?" "Please, no." ~ "Is there anything at aU tbat I can dor "Do thoi the police know about this?" * "Surely. I suppose you have been told what happened." "They will tell me nothing." There was a car coming up the hill. That would be it. Boroday eased his aching arm. He did not dare a sling, but the hand was thrust in the pocket of his coat. If only the hemorrhage - did not start again! He braced him self and watched. "It was a robbery, you know that?** said Ward, in the library. He picked his words? carefully. "As I- got the story, a taxlcab on its way to the bank was held up near the Record office. Your father had stepped to the curb to hail the taxif and--It happened then, a--a stray bullet from one of the bandits' gun$" Boroday, eyes on the car, heard the statement, and, with the chief coming up ther steps from the road to the gar den, took the time to repudiate it. . , "Pardon!" he said. "It was not a weapon in the hands of the bandits. It was the revolver ofthe bank messen ger" * ' Ward turned in surprise. Boroday's eyes were fixed on Elinor's, with reas surance In their depths. The assistant rector wsyp. not subtle, 'but be had a curious feeling of something behind all this. He was uncomfortable.. "I ' mst," he said earnestly, "that these various outrages will be at an end now. Surely the police--" "Possibly." The anarchist's gaze wandered to the garden, where even then the chief was making his way to ward the house. "Of course, these bandits are trained men of unusual intelligence. If the police were of in telligence to cope with them--" "Yes?" . - "They would not be on the force, at meager salaries and petty graft. They would be"--he shrugged his shoulders --"handits themselves, very possibly." i Ward left after that--left with an uncomfortable feeling of having got nowhere. He was convinced of one thing, death, which for him was an open gateway, was for this girl a closed and fastened door. And he knew something else. No other woman ever so profoundly impressed him ef' as this girl who without hope in her grief met it with a high head and courageous eyes. He felt a certain comfort in one thing. Elinor had made a concession, 1 and Hilary ^Kingston, lavish giver to the parish poor, was tp be buried from Saint Jude's. The chief met Mr. Ward on the ter race and took off his hat. Boroday, In the dim halli, felt a certain sense of content. Nothing could have been more auspicious, could have set his stage better for his little drama, than the presence of the young clergyman. The whole scene gained tone, decorum. The chiefs visit was short They had followed the bandits' car and lost It and finding himself in the neighbor hood-- "Be assured," he said to Elinor, In his best manner, "that, we'll not rest until this thing is cleared up. The community"--he cleared his throat-- "the community will not lose one of Its best citizens without a violent pro test." With the coroner he ^went up the stairs and into old Hilary's room., The chief glanced about while the hasty examination was being made. ' "Nice room," he said. "But a Jolly lot of good it does the old gentleman now I Nice little girl downstairs, too. I've seen that chap in the Aall some where." The coroner drew the sheet over old Hilary's peaceful face. "The preacher? They all look alike. It's the vest and the collar." "The other man, with the accent -• - Prrman. I take it or--Russian." Boroday, was waiting for than at the f«»ot of the -staircase.„ In t|>e H- i&r ' i :• •;* brary was a tray, with drinks and sandwiches. The shades had been lowered. The chief ate and drank. And as often as he raised his glass he looked at the Russian over it At last : "Haveu'jt we met somewhere. Mr. M "Boroday. I rather think not" "You remind me of someone--TU place you, or the persbn you resemble, pretty soon. I have a slow mind. It's like an Airedale dog; it's a long time getting started, but when it begins it hangs on like the devil." The drinks were cold, and the house cool. The prospect of starting out in tjie heat and dust did not allure the two men. Sitting there at his ease, the chief ran over the points of the out rage. "In several ways," he observed com fortably, the affair resembles one that happened In St Louis several years ago. There's the same quality of au dacity--and there are other things." Quite suddenly a light came into his eyes. "Ah!" he said, bending forward to ward Boroday. "I told you I'd get it ft was in St. Louis I saw you!" Their glances clashed, the chief's In tent the Russian's cool, amused. "The dog," said Boroday, "holds on well, but--to the wrong throat." "You have never been In St Louis?" "Never." CHAPTER 15^ •A3 r. Elinor lived alone alter the funeral. Henriette, who had now a chance to practice her favorite vice of thrift, was for sending away the other servants. "I can manage," she said. "For all you eat--" But Elinor protested. "I shall want to keep up the Satur day dinners. Let things stay as they are for a time." It had been old Hilary's custom to have such members of the band* as were available dine with him ofa Sat urday. , Henriette raised her hands. "Things are changed," she cried.. "You are alone here now. To have those four men--" "That is better than having one man, Henriette." " So Elinor had her way. The Satur day dinners were resumed early in September, Boroday coming with in finite caution from his cheap boarding house in the South side, Talbot and Lethbridge from the bachelor apart ment they rented! together. Walter Huff was late. "I had to be careful," he told Boro day, aside. "They've got wind of some thing, I don't know what. My room was searched today." f Boroday swore through his beard. "Then why did you come here?" he demanded. Young Huff laughed, glanced at Elinor, and back impudent ly at the Russian. ,a "You know why I came," he said, in high good hi|mor. "But I was careful. It's all right." Old Hilary's chair had been .placed by Elinor's order. She h&d J>orne up "You Rave Never Been in St Lou it?" well the last month, was rather more slender, certainly more appealing. The quality of wistfulness was more appar ent than ever around her mouth. Huff, sitting acress, hardly took his eyes from her. He was young, and women had had no place until now in his ac tive, unscrupulous life. But Elinor held him in the palm of her small hand. They missed old Hilary, his saturnine humor, his beetling gray brows. And Inaetion was telling on them. They were growing restive. Boroday, advis ing caution in view of what he knew, felt the disaffection among the younger men. ^ It was Lethbridge, who, waiting un til the servants had withdrawn, rose and glanced around the table. "It seems to me," he began, "that we have a lot to decide tonight. I've been thinking about it ever since--for some time. The first thing, of course, Is whether we are going to hang together or not" Talbot had rather a weird sense of humor. He suggested that the word "hang" be changed to "remain." "We've been doing well. We'll do all right again, too, as soon as this thing blows over. It was unlucky, but we've been pretty fortunate. Now we can do one of two things. For Elinor's sake, I suggest the first" "And that is--" Elinor's voice was unsteady. "Send Boroday to Paris toL dispose of your Jewels. Then get a. conservative lawyer to invest the money." "And after that?" , •'Forget you ever knew any of is." Huff, across the table from her, went white, but said nothing. "You said there was an alternative?^ Elinor was white, too. The room was profoundly still. "To keep on as we are at present with you, Elinor, acting in your fa ther's stead, receiving and transmitting messages,' and--keeping the vault in charge." Boroday was on his feet in a mo ment, protesting. He would take the jewels and send th«« abroad. It was risky, but it Could t>e done. But this outrageous arrangement that had been suggested--? " "What we are, w#*are by choice," he finished. "You have never had a choice, anu now it is given to you. For God'a sake, child, go away now, while yotf uiay." 4 _ 4 •. . . Elinor's reply, when It came, was unanswerable. . ; > •"Where could I go? I know in all the world only you fdur, and old Hen* rlette, and * governess of mine who has gone Into a convent in France. 1 shall stay here with you all." So it was settle^. That was an eventful evening, with Elinor, misty-eyed, moving into her fa ther's chair at the table, and the band swearing the simple oath of allegiance which held them together. And when they had moved from the dining room, Walter Huff, following Elinor out onto the terrace, told her he loved her. The starlight above, and .those near er stars that outlined the ^streets be low, threw a soft radiance over her. She was dressed In white; old Hilary had disliked mourning garments. Eli nor was looking down into the village. The great spire of Saint Jude's tow ered above the town. ..Htff, young and ardent thrilled to the girl's presence close beside him. "Yon are very aloof tonight" he said. She smiled up at him. "Not that purely. I was only think ing." • ' ; "Of what?" "Oh, of different things--of the peo ple down there in their houses--their lives, the things they believe; we think they are narrow, but I wonder, after all, If you and I, w^ho believe none of those things, are not the narrow ones." Huff was not subtle. Possibly he would not have understood, had not the Saint Jude's chimes rung Just then. "Symbols llkef that seefh to mean so much to them," said Elinor, and fell silent In the warm silence, Huff felt for and found her hand. "All this tlme.'jwhen I couldn't see you," he said unsteadily, 'Tve been thinking of you here alone, and in trouble. Sometimes I thought I couldn't stand it, that I'd have to come out and see you, if only for five minutes." "I have always been qiore or less lonely. Sometimes I think if I had been sent away to school, had known other girls, It would have been better. I heve never had any-- friends--except you, and the others." Hifff released her hand and faced her. "I don't want to be your friend, Eli nor. I ®want to ?>e much more." She was rather shocked at first She stood, looking, up at him, |her lips slightly parted. "I? You--you--want--** "I love you. .1 want you to marry me, dear/' There was no doubt of the'boy's sin cerity. It rang true. He stood w*th his arms,out, and after a moment rfhe Went into them. Except 'for the fatller who was gone, this was the first lo*e that had come into her Jife. She toefc it hungrily.

" ; HOW BEST TO 00 THt WORK Main Point Is to Put Fruit Quickly Into Temporary Storage*--Local' 'Clubs Aid federal Food Administration. This year's apple crop will be har vested in most sections with volunteer pickers, men and women, hoys and girls, who will be Intelligent and inter ested, but very likely quite unfamiliar with fruit picking. The crews are now being recruited all over the country by state councils of defense, chambers of commerce, women's organizations and other people anxious to help with the apple crop. Each grower should now get In touch with the chamber of commerce, or some other representative business or ganization in his nearest town, tell how many pickers he will need, when he will need them, for how long, and what arrangements he can make for housing or boarding them. When his crew of volunteer pickers reports for duty he must open a little school for a day or two, and give thetn practical Instruction In their new work. Many of them perhaps have never climbed Into an apple tree, and even those who have may 'not understand that apple picking Is a kind of work that requires as much delicacy as gath ering eggs. Let the grower tell his pickers how the skin of an apple, or any other kind of fruit or vegetable, is like the tin that protects canned goods. As the tin that incloses a can of tomatoes guards the sterilized contents from the air, and as even a slight pinhole In this tin would allow the air to enter and carry germs of decay, so the skin of an apple protects Its flesh, which is per fectly sterile, and the least cut, even a dent made by a finger nail, allows germs to enter and start decay. A cut so tiny that It cr.n only be detected under the microscope at picking time will, nevertheless, start a germ inva sion which will show up later when the apple Is packed and put into stor age. For this reason great care must be taken in picking fruit. The grower shpuld show their pickers how to grasp an apple and give it the skillful twist that separates Jt from the tree. He must caution them against dropping the apples carelessly in the boxes and baskets, and see that they have pick ing baskets and field boxes which are free from splinters and nails. This year's crop will have to be managed along somewhat different lines in many sections. With a crew of trained pickers and packers it is customary to grade and pack much of the fruit as fast as it comes from the trees. There will probably be a short age of packers, and many growers will have to devote all their efforts to pick ing the crop and getting it into tempo rary storage first, and then packing it later. More good apples are spoiled every "Jear by carelessness between the time they are picked and the time they are packed than in any other way. Fall nights are cool, but fall days are apt to be warm. Apples are left In the or chard ' several days and alternately cool and heat with the changes id tem perature until their quality deteri orates. . The proper way to care for apples is to put them into common storage as soon as they come from the tree. Almost any good tight building •will answer for the temporary storage needed between picking and packing. When fruit leaves the tree It con tains vegetable heat Just as an animal has animal heat, and as the carcass of an animal will spoil after killing un less It is properly cooled, so fruit will spoil unless cooled. With a tight shed, into which fruit can be carried direct from the orchard, the grower can use the cool nights of autumn to take the heat out of his fruit. Doors and win dows of the temporary storage shed should be opened at night to admit plentiful currents of cool air, and when the sun comes up and the out side air grows warm again this storage place should be closed to exclude the warm outer air as much as possible, and keep the fruit nicely cooled. If apples are handled in this simple and sensible way they will have prime keeping quality and the work of grad ing and packing can be postponed for Several weeks. There is a fairly l,arge apple crop throughout the country this year. It amounts to about two bushels for ev ery man, woman and child in the Unit ed States. From the consumers' stand point it is important to have as much of this fruit as possible go to market in first class condition, so that it may help us conserve wheat, meat, fats and other staple foods for our allies. From the producers' standpoint it is Just as important to harvest the crop in the best condition because the size of our apple crop this year Is such that only the best fruit will bring good prices. WHAT TO SELL TO CHINAMAN Celestials Will Not Buy Some Things Regarded as Necessities, Says ^771 Commercial Attkche. , An American commercial attache In China reminds the manufacturer at home that the Asiatic demand for Western articles is still somewhat primitive. For example, the Chinaman IS a liberal purchaser of American barb- wire. He likes the locks we make. Files from the United States sell well" and one American firm holds a monop oly on scoop shovels. But the razors made here have no attraction, for the Chinaman is contented with the clumsy instrument the local blacksmith ham mers Out of a file. Trying to sell him doorknobs and electrical bells Is to waste time and breath. Chinese ag riculture gets along with the farm im plements devised centuries ago and cannot even understand the mechan ism of American farm machinery. Nails, bolts and nuts haye a ready market, being simple, yet when. it comes to knives, the product of high skill and workmanship, China Is per fectly satisfied with the cheap stuff sent out from Europe. The commercial Invasion of the far East can be successful only If the character of the people of the East Is given careful consideration, sajs the Toledo Blade. The American mer chant does not try to sell section hands fountain pens. The American manu facturers will lose -money who seek an outlet in China for articles that sim ple people look upon as luxuries or toys. ff He Was Scotch Sure.
