General Decline Arretted.
The notorious General Decline, perhaps
better known to many of our
readers by his aliases, "T. B.," Phthisis,"
and "The Con," who at one time
or another has boldly claimed membership
in nearly every family, has
been arrested at Pittsburgh. Pa.;
Denver, Col.; Boston, Mass.: Boise,
Idaho; Hamilton, On": Richmond, Va.;
Oswego, N. V., and New Orleans, La.:
not to mention eight hundred and i
forty-three other places throughout I
the country. In fact, this old offend- i
er may be arrested at any place
where his depredations against rich |
and poor subject him to the surveil- <
lance of the health authorities.
Suspicion was long ago directed j
against the culprit, but although he ,
was temporarily "detained." exami- ,
nation was waived against the advice ,
of medical counsel. Not until a ,
"nervous breakdown" persuaded his
unenlightened host to slip away to
some distant city where a fashionable
practitioner handed out a pleasing
diagnosis of "neuro-circulatory
asthenia, with a fine of 1340. did the i
host begin to cough up anything to |
speak of. This "neuro-clrculatory
asthenia" was, of course, none other
than the old reliable neurasthenia? ,
itself a twentieth century way of say- \
ing nervous prostration?with the human
circulation grafted in. to cover
every conceivable contingency. Had
the charge been just neurasthenia a i
fine of $200 would have sufficed, and i
back in 1892 probably $48.50 would {
have been collected for nervous pros- |
tration. I
While out on probation, so to speak. .
the luckless host visited Denver, i
where shortly after his arrival he
spat some blood and was committed ,
to a sanitorium on the charge of ob- ,
talning treatment under false pre- ,
tenses. This charge was sustained by
the sanitorium authorities and the .
previous charge of neuro-circulatory ,
asthenia dismissed for lack of funds. ,
The criminal was now sentenced to ,
complete rest in bed for an indeter- ,
minate period, not less than si*
months. He served twenty months at
the. san and by good behavior was
paroled. Close friends declare that at
one time the fortunate man was indicted
by Minnesota specialists for exophthalmic
goitre, but he absconded
and the operation was quashed.
When interviewed by our correspondent
at his hotel here, where he
is staying pending the final disposal
of his case. T. B. Issued the following
statement:
My case should be a warning to
all young people to live hygienic lives
and. when that course has broken
down their health, to listen to their
doctor's advice. I made a false start
when I tried "nervous breakdown"?
if I knew then what I know now X
would have realized that some shrewd
medical man sooner or later would
rule that diagnosis out. "Xervous
breakdown" Is as obsolete as a "heavy
cold" or "wreak lungs" or "a little catarrhal
trouble." all of which alibis

QUESTIONS AND ANSWEHS.
Badly Advised.
I have been told that while babies
ire teething they must have wool or
lannel shirts and a belly-band, no
matter how hot the weather Is. (B. S.)
Answer?In very hot weather a
>aby should have nothlnr but a cotton
liaper on. through the heat of midday.
It is cruel to swathe an Infant in
heavy clothes or woolen garments
when the weather is torrid. Of course,
ill babies are teething from the age
>f a few months to the age of eightsen
or twenty-live years.
Lists at Hand.
It is a convenient thing to carry
ibout with you in your handbag certain
measurements that may prove
very useful when you are shopping.
They may all be condensed on a
small card and can surely not be a
burden to you.
For instance, at this time of the
year when many of the department
stores have special sales of table and
bed linen, it is a -good plan -to have
the dimensions of your beds and dining
table. Often you see veritable
bargains in bedspreads and sheets,
but hesitate to buy them because you
ire not sure that they will fit your
beds.
Often you can find odd tablecloths
or remnants of table linen that you
rould make use of If you but knew
exactly the sixe of your table.
The dimensions of your rooms are
also something that you might carry
about with you. A little floor plan
sf your house giving the important
dimensions might be put on the back
of the card containing your other list.
It may be that you will find a rug
that just suits a certain location, but
you are not sure of this without definite
knowledge of dimensions. You
may see a table, lounge or other
piece of furniture, but you hesitate
to buy it because you are not sure
that it will fit into a given space.
Other lists that are a convenience
to carry about with you are the sixes
of stockings, gloves, shoes, collars,
etc... of various members of your
family, and your own. too. If you are
one of those persons who find it a
bore to have to keep such details in
mind.
Plum Pie.
Cover some plums with water and
boil until, very soft, then rub them
through a sieve and add one pound
of sugar to every pound of fruit.
Bake with two crusts or with a bottom
crust and strips across the top.

and thus helping in our education Is
the moving picture, and no town appears
In the movies as much as Washington.
If you just stop to think you
will see Washington on the screen
nearly every time you see the movie
weekly. Now If you divide the rest
of the world over the entire feature
you will not see the same town very
often. Here there are always photoggraptiers
at the White House. There
are all kinds of machines and cameras.
The boys have cameras that cost hundreds
of dollars and work so fast they
can even photograph Gen. Dawes, the
hurry-up man, whether he is walking
or not. Of course, the movie men can
always get him, but so can the "still"
men, too.
Out at the Columbia Country Club,:
where the American open golf cham- .
pionship was held, was one of the biggest
collection of cameras 1 ever hope
to see. It Is certainly a mystery to me
how they can get such a wide stretch
of country through that little hole.
Right after the boys had filmed .lim
Barnes, the Pelham Pansy, as I call
him, I took a look In one of those little
holes where all the action must go,
but the man had covered It up so the
light would not get in. But I knew
that right Inside of that little box was
Jim, the champion, making all his
swings just as I had seen him do a
few minutes before.
Also right In there was President
Harding presenting the cup to Jim
and telling him what a good golfer he
was. It makes no difference how much
a man turns and waves his arms when
making a speech, the photographers
get him Just the same. There are two
handles on the movies. One you use
to follow the man around with and
the other keeps the lllm moving at a
certain rate which the photographer
must decide upon when he figures out
the light conditions, lie always has
to remember that In the theater the
flints are run at a certain speed. If >
he does not remember that he will j
come out with a "funny picture" such i
as you have seen when the people are J
moving either too fast or two slow, so
you laugh. That would never do when
the President was being photographed
or a champion golfer was making a tine
awing, would it?
Thousands of feet of movie film are
rushed out of Washington every week,
and almost every place in the country

Now I guess I'll have to go fishing. I
have an idea it will take a lot of fish
to satisfy . that fellow's appetite. 1
don't know of anything to feed him
but flsh and frogs."
So once more Farmer Brown's Boy
went whistling across the Green
Meadows. He found his flsh rod where
he had left it when he went over to
the swamp to find out what Sammy
Jay had been making such a fuss
about. Then he went on to the Smiling
Pool and began to flsh. But instead
of trying to catch big flsh he now
fished only for little onea. For the first
time In his life he wasn't interested
in big flsh. He wanted little ones and
plenty of them. So he put on a verysmall
hook and fished for minnows
and little perch. You see he wasn't
fishing for himself, but for that young
Heron back in the barn.
When he had caught a dozen he
Wound up his line and started for

room where the Heron was the longlegged
bird stared at him with suspicion
and as he stepped forward
drew back his neck as If to strike.
Farmer Brown's Boy spoke softly.
Then he tossed one of the little flsh
down in front of the Heron. For a
long time the Heron refused to touch
it. Farmer Brown's Boy was patient.
Finally hunger was too much for the
young Heron: he picked up the little
flsh and swallowed it head first at one
gulp. Then he blinked at Farmer
Brown's Boy and the latter tossed
another flsh to him. There was not
so long to wait this time. The third
little flsh was picked up almost as
soon as it touched the floor.

at them, cither. If Farmer Brown'i
Boy cave them to him tails first he
always turned them so that they went
down his long throat heads first. And
he always swallowed a fish at one
gulp. It tickled Farmer Brown's Boy.
"You don't get any pleasure out of
eating." said he.
But apparently the young Heron
thought otherwise, for he was always
ready to gulp down another. Ten fish
a day It took to keep him satisfied, so
that Farmer Brown's Boy bad to go
fishing every evening after work. But
he didn't mind. He and the young
Heron were becoming friends. The
big bird would allow him to handle
him as he pleased. He never offered
to strike with that great bill of his.
He would even take the hand of
Farmer Brown's Boy in that great
bill and gently shake It. There was
no longer fear or wtldness in his eyes
when Farmer Brown's Boy entered,
but instead a strange look of pleasure.
Day by day the poor hurt foot
healed and at last It was well. The
bandages were removed for good and
the young Heron walked as well as
ever. Once more Farmer Brown's Boy
gathered him up In his arms, but this

"Have you been on every night this
week?" McOarty interrupted.
"Y-yes. sir!"
"Is there any other public telephone
booth in the neighborhood?"
"None any place that keeps open all
night." The clerk seemed to be gathering
his dazed faculties.
"Do you have many calls from here
between midnight and early morning?"
The clerk ahook hla head.
"Not unless somebody's sick."
"Did anybody come in here and use
that phone last night?"
t'Certalnly; a lot of people early In
the evening, but after midnight!" He
paused and his eyes widened.
"No one came in here to phone after
that until?until half-past 4 in the
morning."
"Who was that?" McCarty asked
sharply. "Some one from the neighborhood
that you know?"
"It was Mr. Hlldrel'h! I was surprised,
for he looked very bad
and 1 thought that he must be
sick and have come in for
some medicine, but he said that he
only wanted to use the phone. He went
in the booth and closed the door and

business matter and traveling all night
to get back; that his train should have
been in at midnight, but was delayed
and he had to phone to his partner at
the earliest possible moment. It did
strike me as funny that he hadn't telephoned
from the station if it was as
important as all that, but I didn't say
so. I was kind of sleepy, and It wasn't
any business of mine. He hurried off I
home and I settled down for a nap in j
my chair behind the cash register." I
"Did you see him again before he |
came in tonight?" ;
"No." The clerk hesitated. "I don't
know what you've got against the Hild- I
reths and I'd hate to get them into I
any trouble, for they've been good cus- j
tomers here and pleasant to deal with. |
I'd never believe a word against Mrs. |
Hlldreih, anyway."
"You said that she didn't come in j
here often." McCarty eyed him quizzically.
"When did you see her last?"
There was a pause and then the clerk I
replied with evident reluctance:
"Ear.ly this morning."
"How early?"
"I suppose I'd better tell you: you
fellows would And out. somehow; It
was Just before a, less than half an hour
after her husband left. 1 told you I'd
settled down for a nap; well. 1 was
roused by the bell that rings whenever
the door is opened and looked up to see
Mrs. HUdreth come in. She's always
as neat as wax. but this morning she
looked as though she had Just thrown
on her clothes every which way. and
she seemed excited, too, about something.
She asked in that soft foreign
voice of hers if she could use the telephone.
and it must have been an out-oftown
call this time, for she was in the
booth nearly twenty minutes and I
heard money rattle in the slot two or
three times. She thanked me when she
came out, but didn't try to explain about
the call the way her husband had about
his." He paused and added: "I'll tell
you one thing I think, sir; whatever it
was that happened to make ner nus- i
band look more dead than alive it certainly
put new life Into her: She walked
out of the store as though she was
treading on air:"
McCarty frowned thoughtfully. He
had found confirmation of his suspicions
rrom a totally unexpected quarter and
one of the minor mysteries of the case
was cleared up. but It led him no nearer
to the truth; rather by Its very nature
it raised complexities which he had not
hitherto considered.
"We may want you." he said at last.
"What Is your name?"
"Willis Udell, and you'll find me here
or in the flat over the shop any time
you want me!" the clerk declared. "I've
done nothing to be afraid of you fellows
for. nor said a word 1 can't stick to, but
T hope you are mistaken about the
Hlldreths.
He shook his head lugubriously after
them as they left the shop and when
the door had closed behind them Dennis,
too. drew a deep breath.
''Well, that settles the two phone
calls, anyway." he commented. "The

But when they presented themselves

i told the whole story of the night's
' vicissitudes, sparing himself not at
all in the recital for permitting the
woman known as "Mrs. Hildreth" to
: escape, but the inspector did not
I censure him. Instead he listened i
thoughtfully until the end and then
brought his hand down resoundlng

"That is about the last link we

reliable men connected with the bu- I
rcau. We'll wait a bit to see If the I
woman tries to communicate with J
Hill and then gather him in." j
"On a charge of murder, sir?" Mc- j
Carty's tone was respectfully inquir- |
ing. but there was a skeptical quality j
in It that made the inspector raise I
his eyebrows. j
"Of course! We've got the motive [
now. 1 thought before that it might
have had something to do with black- .
mail, but it's revenge. He's Infatu- |
ated with the girl and whether she's
guilty or not she is facing a long |
term in prison, for the evidence j
against her together with the fact I
that she jumped her bail would make |
any jury in the country convict her
without leaving the box. Remember,
it was Creveling's testimony before .
the magistrate which was most dam- |
aging to her, proving it to have been
virtually impossible for any one |
else to have taken the jewels. I sup- |
pose site and Hill both held it against I
Creveling and we can't tell the de- I
tails yet of what happened last night,
but they must have had a violent
quarrel for the man to have shot his ,
employer." j
"Wait one second, sir." McCarty in- i
tcrposed quietly. "I didn't start work- I
ing on this case tonight when I first j
telephoned to you, but from the tnin- I
ute you took me on, and there's a j
lot you haven't heard yet. Some of ]
it would seem to point to Hill being
guilty, but there's more that he ,
couldn't have had a hand in. and
'tis beyond reason that all those society
folk would put themselves out
to shield him."
"Shield him?'" repeated the ininspector,
with a frown. "What do
you mean? What society folk. Mac?"
"The whole kit and boodle of them!"
McCarty waved his hand expressively.
"All the Crevelings' friends except the
O'Rourkes! They're every one lying
or trying to hide something and hold
out on us, or I'm a Dutchman! But
there's one thing: Hill was in the
house long before he showed himself
at the door of the breakfast room,
and when you and me were going
through the rooms upstairs and you
laughed at me, sir, for seeing and
hearing things. I was! If I'm not
mistaken, 'twas Hill I heard down in
Crevellng's room when we were up
in the servants' quarters and Hill's
shadow I saw on the stairs."
He told in detail of his second and
solitary search of the rooms upstairs
and the discovery that the desks in
Crevellng's room and that of the
housekeeper had been tampered with
since their first examination, and Inspector
Druet nodded emphatically.
"That only makes it more certain,
Mac. We won't have much trouble in
sending Hill to the chair!"
"Maybe not. sir," McCarty acquiesced,
nonoommlttally.
"Did you find that pair of gloves on
him that I asked you to look for when
you got him down here?"
"They were taken from his coat
pocket at the station house and that's
another strong bit of evidence against
him, for they are stained and reeking
with oil?oil from the pistol that killed
Creveling!"
"Perhaps the same kind of oil that
was used to clean the gun if it was
Crevellng's own. sir, and the can left
lying around handy." McCarty suggested.
"The oil might have been used
on those desk locks. Anyway, what
has the girl Ilsa and the jewels to do
with a playing card?"
He produced the bloodstained nine
of diamonds and laid it before his
chief.
"Where the devil did you get this,
Mae?"
"Under theedge of the strip of cover
on the table right beside where the
body was lying, sir." McCarty explained
the circumstances and added:
"If Hill fired that shot, whatever
would he be doing with that lone
card, and why would George Alexander
be in league with htm? Didn't you
see the looks that passed between

away for a quiet word together? The
old man wants to keep something
dark, and 'tia not to save Hill from
punishment for murdering his own
partner and meal ticket!"
"So. It was to prevent notoriety, if
anything," the inspector remarked.
"You must have noticed how ready he
was to accept the suicide theory which
he had first rejected, when he saw
to what lengths his niece was prepared
to go to learn the truth. If he
'doesn't actually know of any scandal
in Creveling's immediate past he must
suspect it. and rather than have it
unearthed, as it was bound to be if
we hadn't so promptly discovered the
identity of the murderer, he preferred
to let sleeping dogs lie."
| "So do the rest of them, it seems!
Wait. sir. till you hear."
McCarty gave the gist of his interviews
with Douglas Waverly. Mrs.
Kip. Miss Frost, the Fords and Nicholas
Cutter, but when he had concluded
the inspector shook his head.
"Whatever reasons they may have
for holding out on you as you suspect,
Mac. It Isn't because of a guilty
knowledge of the murder. By your
own showing the Fords. Cutter and
Waverlys have established alibis
which no possible circumstantial evidence
could shake, and you haven't a
. thing to connect Mrs. Kip with the
affair. You can take what that exchaperone
of hers said about her with
a grain of salt: the old woman was
mad enough at being sent packing to
have sworn Mrs. Kip's life away. I'll
waver, and at that she could tell
nothing incriminating. You'll find
that Mrs. Kip's little mystery, whatever
it may be, is her own affair."
