I've got to get it settled. I can rest afterward." "Will it do any harm to take a friend along when you go to see this man?" "Yes. I don't want him to think I'm afraid of him. You're not in this, Kirby. Esther is my little sister, not yours." "True enough." A sardonic, mirth- less smile touched his face. "But James , Cunningham is my uncle, not yours," "Your uncle?" She rose, staring at him with big, dilated eyes. "He's your uncle, the man who--who--" "Yes, an' I know him better than you do.

A man sat at a desk telephoning. He was smooth-shaven and rather heavy-set, a year or two beyond thirty, with thinning hair. on the top of his head. His eyes in re- pose were hard and chill. From the conversation his visitor gathered that he was a captain in the Red Cross drive that was on. As he hung up the receiver the man rose, brisk and smiling, hand out- stretched.

It was James who spoke. His face was grave. "That's a serious charge, Kirby," he said. "What is the name of the young woman?" "I'd rather not give it--except to Uncle James himself." "Better write it," suggested Jack with a reminiscent laugh. "He's a bit impetuous. I saw him throw a man down the stairs yesterday. Picked the fellow up at the foot of the flight. He certainly looked as though he'd like to murder our dear uncle." "What 1'd like to know is this," said Lane. "What sort of a reputation has Uncle James in this way Have you ever heard of his bein' in anything of this sort before?" "No, I haven't," said promptly. Jack shrugged. "I wouldn't pick nunky for exactly a moral man," he said flippantly. "His idea of livirg is to xs ab all the easy things he can." here can I see him most easily? At his office?" asked Kirby. "He drove down to Colorado Springs to-day on business. At least he told me he was going. Don't know whether he expects to get back 'o- night or not. He lives at the Paradox Apartments," Jack said. "Prob'ly I'd better see him there rather than at his office." "Hope you have a pleasant time with the old boy," Jack murmured. "Don't think I'd care to be a champion of dames where he's concerned. He's a damned cantankerous old brute. I'll say that for him." James arranged a place of meeting for luncheon next day. The young cattleman left. He knew from the fidgety manner of Jack that he had some important business he was anx- fous to talk over with his brother. James CHAPTER VI. LIGHTS OUT. It was five minutes to ten by his watch when Kirby entered the Para- dox Apartments. The bulletin board told him that his uncle's apartment was 12, He did not take the self- serve elevator, but the stairs. The hall on the second floor was dark. Since he did not know whether the rooms he wanted were on this floor or the next he knocked at a door. Kirby thought he heard the whis-| per of voices and he knocked again. He had to rap a third time before the door opened. "What is it? What do you want?" If ever Lane had seen stark, naked fear in a human face, it stared at him out of that of the woman in front of him. She wad a tall sagular woman of a forbid, 1 Sountenance, flat-breas: and on Adlon d.

He was thrusting into his coat pocket what looked to the man in the hall like a revolver. "Can you tell me where James Cun- neh ham's apartment is?" asked ir The woman "gasped. The hand on the doorknob was trembling violently. Something clicked in her throat when the dry lips tried to frame an answer. "Head o' the stairs--right hand," she managed to get out, then shut the door swiftly in the face of the man whose simple question had so shocked her. (To be continued.)

These slips should come from strong, healthy plants that are free from insects or diseases, Taking them at this time allows you to select the plants which have the prettiest flowers, and the slips will have a start that enables them to make good growth by early winter. The slips should be about three inches long and can be rooted in clean, moderately coarse sand, not over four inches deep, or in water. If placed in the window-garden as soon as rooted, they will be practically born in the conditions under which they will be expected to flower, With very lit- tle care they will make continuous growth, and having escaped the perils incident to lifting, can be expected to produce good results.

The dishes are stacked in the wire rack, boiling water is poured over them, The heat of the dishes will dry themselves and they will look bright and shining.

A high stool to sit on while work- ing, kept under the sink when not in use, helps in avoiding that tired feel- ing. Many steps are saved when the dish cupboard is at the left of the sink and drain board, so the dishes may be put away without walking back and forth. If this cupboard is also next to the dining-roem door, in the wall between the kitchen and the dining-room, the dishes can be most easily placed on the dining table. OUR ROCKER SWING. When we screened in our back ver- andah T wanted some inexpensive furnishings for it, so I went up to the attic to look around. There I found an old wooden rocker that would no longer rock. I brought it down and sawed off the legs, leaving only the seat and back. These I painted a light green, then I made some gay cretonne cushions and with a rope through each corner of the seat--up through the arms in front and fastened to the back with stout staples--swung it from the rafters of the verandah in e manner of a verandah hammock. For almost no outlay of money we had a good-looking, back-resting swing on our back verandah. A neighbor see- ing it made one like it to put under a tree on her lawn. simp fi mtmai-- Minard's Liniment Heals Cuts.
