Month by month, there seem to
arise dozens of cases of distress, which
are chronicled by the lied Cross,
listed as relieved, and by the vast
majority of people promptly forgot
ten. Relief for the Greek people
around Saloniki, for instance, for
which the lied Cross has just given
$165,000, is dismissed without fur
ther thought. Yet it calls for ship
ments every month of 320 tons of
foodstuffs, beside other material.
This is also true of Switzerland, of
Serbia to whom a gift of ?50,000
more has just been given even of
England. The. stream of supplies to
Great Britain is growing larger every
day as more American soldiers go
into camp, and to the need for can
teens is added hospital houses oil
stoves, a. thousand footballs, choco
late, flour in a word for all the
thousand and one things that consti
tute Red Cross work.
During the Austrian offensive lusl
summer, four sections of Vied Cross
ambulances were behind the Italian
lines, manned by veteran drivers from
France and by newcomers from
America. Many times, after bombs
and tear-jras shells had forced the
medical corps to abandon outposts,
the ambulances continued to carry the
wounded Seventeen emergency can
teens sprang up behind the lines.
Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate and hot
food were supplied, the supply sta
tions sometimes serving 3,000 men.

ice rendered was expressed gruffly,

Recently a woman well known- '):
America., who has devoted all her
time to relief work since the war be
gan, was visiting a "hospital. The
commanding officer had sent a mili
tary car for her. She entered the
car just, as an ambulance filled with
wounded passed by. As she noticed
the thin, pale faces, tears came into
her eyes. The soldier-chauffeu asked
if she was ill.
"No',, she said, "these are tears of
gratitude and pride."
"Madame," replied the boy simply,
"if T thought lhat my being a soldier

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
How Madge Cleverly Managed to
Iietray the Hiding Place of the
False Rice Paper. !
"Grace Draper's brains must be
getting addled or else she is absorbing i
some of the Teutonic cocksureness. I
and imagines ours are," L,illian said ;
ruminatively while 1 struggled to pre- j
serve my poise under the startling an- j
nouncement thai Airs. Allis was act- I
ually in the house, engaged as a maid. J
"Of course, the woman is exceptional- '.
ly well disguised, I'll have to slip it J
to her for that, her wig is perfect, and
whoever made her up is a cracker- I
jack. If I hadn't been expecting them ;
to bite when 1 inserted the advertise- j
ment she might have fooled me for a j
little while. But as it is, I recognized ;
her the minute I set eyes on her."
She paused, glanced at me shrewdly, j
then went on rapidly: j
"You don't need to have a minute's !
uneasiness, Madge. You're not going j
to set eyes on her nor she on you."
"I don't want to be shielded," I pro
tested. "I must have my share in this
work and danger as well as the rest."
"You must be shielded all I can
manage," lallian returned, looking at
me significantly. "I won't be so
cruel as to shut you out of the final
round-up, and I shall need you there.
But for the next few days you'll obey
my requests, won't you?"
"Of course," I answered cheerfully.
"Well, then," with a flash of ap
proval in her eyes, "you're not to stir
from the second floor except when
you're personally conducted to your
father's next door. This Allis fiend is
the one uncertain factor in this busi
ness. Of course, she is working under
Grace Draper's directions; they want
someone inside the house at night, for
they know Kato sleeps next door.
And while I am sure that Draper has
sent Alljs here primarily to put you
permanently out of the way, yet she
has no doubt instructed her to Avait
until the last minute to do it, so not
to interfere with the plans for getting
that paper. But Allis is too full of
dope and hatred for you to risk letting
her addled brain become inflamed by
the sight of you. And, of course, she's
not going to be out of sight of either
your mother-in-law or me for one
minute.
Keeping Mrs. Allis Busy.
"I explained to her, very seriously
and plausibly," she went on, "that
there aie invalids in the house, and
that the elder Mrs. Graham and I
prepared the meals ourselves. I put
her to work cleaning and dusting, and
your mother-in-law will keep her busy
when I'm not there. And, of course,
we're going to give her and Kato
plenty of time for conferences. But
she'll not be allowed upstairs, and
don't you come down.
"You'll have plenty to do, for
Mother Graham is going to take care
of Katie, leaving Agatha free to snoop
to her heart's content. I want you to
divide your time between your
mother-in-law's room, where the
Chinese vase is, and your own, and
watch the Asiatic and Agatha. Of
course, don't let them actually get the j
paper, but if they don't find out where i
it is before night give them a hunch !
without letting them know you're j
doing it. And now, look out for your- j
self. I'm overdue downstairs to break j
in the new maid."
She flashed me a merry, confident j
smile as she went out of the room, !
and I envied her sureness. With her i
to plan a thing was to accomplish it. '
And the task she had outlined fqr me j
to betray the hiding place we had so
carefully guarded in a manner that '
would appear plausible, was one I j
infinitely dreaded doubted my ability j
to perform.
It was Agatha on whose knowledge
of the house I counted, who gave me
the opportunity I wished. Agatha,
whom Lillian had given full oppor
tunity for slv watchfulness because
we both had seen that Kato had in
tuitively realized Agatha's peculiar
genius and was himself following her.
The house in which we live was
built originally for a physician, and ;
my mother-in-law occupies the bed-
room which was his. From an alcove 1
adjoining it a spiral stairway leads to j
the library below- in the physician's ;
time, his office with a little hallway i
and outside door. It is a room which j
neither Dicky nor I would have liked,
but my mother-in-law chose it, per- j
versely enough, for she never dares to
climb up or down the twisting, narrow i
stairway.
The doors to the stairway at the j
top and bottom are always kept j
locked, and since the Chinese vase was i
removed to my mother-in-law's room
I have always kept the keys. The first j
step in my little plot was carelessly j
dropping the keys when I was sure !
Agatha was watching me. The next, j
after satisfying mj-self that she had ;
them and warning Lillian of this
fact so that she could keep Mrs. Allis j
away from the library below was to
go into my mother-in-law's room with j
an apparently perturbed manner, j
locking the door ostentatiously behind i
me.
I'Yoling the Asiatic. j
There are heavy curtains between j
my mother-in-law's bedroom and the ;
alcove, and I hadn't been in the room j
longevery minute of which I spent .
standing: before the table upon which i
Btood. the Chinese vase until ray :
sharpened ears heard the slightest !
perceptible rustle, which I would
never have heard unless I'd been
watching for it, and I knew that ;
Couain Agatha'H sharp eyes were
peerinff throucrh the curtains, i
I hoard no weoond ruHtle, but I was j
psychically sure that the Bilont Asiatic
had eomo noietaleasly in behind her,

tion had concealed himself in the folds

sent to the Pennsylvania State Col
lege for their education. They were
members of the party of sixty-two
French girls who recently came to
the United States as part of the edu-
of the curtain at the other side of
her.
With trembling fingers I took down
the Chinese vase, removed the single
blossom it contained, 'poured out the
water, ostentatiously unlocked a small
box on the dresser and took from it
the curiously shaped magnet, drew
forth the metal pencil case from the
depths of the vase, and front it un
rolled the rice paper Allen Drake had
laughingly prepared.
I appeared to peruse it carefully,
then with an audible "Thank heaven
it's all right!" I reversed the process
1 had just gone through, and with a
soliloquized "I think I'll take this
into my own room," I unlocked the
door and went to my room.
Lillian appeared a moment or two
later with the news that Agatha, fol
lowed surreptitiously by Kato. had as
cended the staircase, and that they
had come down in reverse order, the
quick, noiseless Asiatic having been
successful in following Agatha without
her knowing it.
"There's only one thing left for us
to do to settle Agatha's hash so she
can't meddle," she said. "The rest is
in the lap of the gods."
HOUSEHOLD NOTES
Matches can be naraffined for auto
and camping use by dipping the sul
phur ends into melted paraffin.
A good school lunch consists of
egg salad sandwiches and oranges.
Bacon and lettuce sandwiches with
an apple is another combination.
Old corks are good to make a low
lire burn up, and pine needles to
those who live in the country make
one of the best of kindlings.
Small portions of meat can be
made to serve the family a second
time by adding mushrooms, which al
ways add interest and flavor to any
meat.

Pour 2 V'i ounces of Pinex in a pint
bottle; then All it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari
fied molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired.
Thus you make a full pint- a family
supply but costing no more than a
small bottle of ready-made cough syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at any
price. It goes right to the spot and
gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly
heals the inflamed membranes that line
the throat and air passages, stops the
annoying throat tickle, loosens 'the
phlegm, and soon your cough stops en
tirely. Splendid for bronchitis, croup,
whooping cough and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated cora-
found of Norway pine extract, famous
or its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2 ounces of Pinex" with
dircotions and don't accept anything
else Guaranteed to give absolute satis
