The two thin lines oi me roan went almost due west from the hotel to the Junction, side by side with the serrated line that marked the railroad. Once beyond the hotel, flying at 1000 feet, he picked them out below, tho faint glow of th moon flashing on the steel rails, and shimmering on the surface of the macadam. He list ened intently for the sound of a throb- ning motor ror he felt certain that Du bosque would press his machine to tho limit and cut out the ilrac nf the muffler. On a gradual rise, he followed the dim wisps of reflected moonlight that marked his path below. Soon he was conscious of a faint pulsing in tho air; it grew louder and more definite as he flew and. in another fete minute it had become the unmistakable thunder of a speeding motor car. and the two gleaming cones or light far ahead showed the headlights he was pursu ing. He gae a grunt of satisfaction. Du bosque was racing at a pace that would keep his entire attention fixed upon the perils of the road ahead of him. He was not likely to look upward. Within another mile, the auto plunged among a long stretch of trees that hid it from view though Sayville could still see the gleam of its lights flashing among the branches. He put the last ounce of speed into his own machine and hurtled forward and down, ward at well up to 200 miles an hour. A hundred feet from the earth, he levelled out and slowed the aeroplane. Ho had passed the automobile while it was still among the trees. Ahead of him, the road ran along the top of a filled-in bank, clear of 'obstructions on both sides. He rose, circled back and, pulling the lever that lowered his land ing wheels from the sides of the boat shaped body, cut off his motor. It was a precai'ous landing. The slightest diversion from an absolutely straight line would have carried him crashing to destruction over one side or the other of the steep bank but long experience In getting down In all kinds of exhibition fields had steeled his hand to a Bkill that was the envy of other aviators, and he came to -rest in the darkness almost in the middle of the road. Far away, he saw the auto lights sh mmerlng among the strees, two gu-at, ghostly arms searching in and out among the trunks, weaving eerily In the grotesque shadows. The thunder of the motor grew louder until It swept around al curve and out of the woods and headed for him. He waited until the speeding machine was almost upon him. Then, with a turn of the switch, that sent his own powerful search light beams straight at the car, he leaped from his seat and crouched low at the side of the road, his automatic pistol ready for instant ac tion. The shtlek of the brake bands cut into the silence of the night as Du bosque stopped the car with a sudden lurch, not five feet from the obstruction in his road. In the rays of tho aero plane's searchlight, his face looked ghastly and White, with the terror of the sudden surprise written plainly in his staring eyes. "Hands up. Dubosque," Sayville or dered sharply. "I've got you covered." At the sound of a human voice, the Frenchman swung about, his fright giving way to malevolent rage as he faced a tangible opponent. With a snarled curse, he reached for his' hip pocket and, at the movement, Sayville fired. The Frenchman whirled and clapped his hand to his left shoulder with a cry of pain. "Sit down," Sayville ordered. "Keep your hands up as you have them. If you attempt to lower them, I'll shoot again." He reached into DuDosque's pocket and took out the revolver, dropping it into his own coat pocket and taking out his electric flash light. In its white rays, he saw the long roll of heavy paper on the floor of the car. "Good!" he exclaimed. "That's what I'm after. Now climb out," "What would you do, monsieur?" the Frenchman asked. "Do? I? Nothing. The doing will all be done when I get you back to the station." "The station? But I do not under- SCHOOL IHi ALW05T ftRPEToAU iESRL Itand. I am even now on my way to the Uation." Sayville snorted In disgust. "Don't crv that fcflrt of bluff with me." he said. "I'm going to take you back to our station where you killed one of our fofficers, and stole those plans. Back your machine out of the road and then climb down." For a long minute,' the Frenchman's eyes searched his. Sayville waited, for he sensed what was coming. "Monsieur," said Dubosque slowly, "there Is In this adventure an oppor tunity which, perhaps, you do not fully realize. I have been in the service In my country and I have known many men In tho service here. It is hard, is It not? One works for many yearB mon Dieu. how one slaves and sacri fices onself! And. in the end. what Is there left? Nothing. Am I right, mon sieur?" He paused, but Sayvlllo made no ans wer. Dubosque continued: "A youth of hard work and small pleasures an old age of poverty and unhappiness is that a reward for such things as you are doing? Poverty that it It! Tho unloveliness! The bit terness of it: But in this adventure, monsieur I will be frank there is suf ficient for both of us. And there is in it nothing for which you should re proach yourself. Your hands will not be soiled as mine are with the life blood of a fellow man. Your liberty will be in no jeopardy as mine is from a trail that cannot be entirely hidden. Y'ou need eimplv return to your sta tion and renort that you could not find ; me. And. in the end. a ruler who knows through clever diplomats that the ease and tho luxuries which we all covet, shall bo at your beck and call as long as you shall live. There shall be no more slavery and pelfsafrifice for you, monsieur. There shall be no sardonic facef poverty to grin at you as you grow older. How do you say it In your most expressive language do you get me? is it not monsieur?" Sayville nodded grimly. (To be Continued Tomorrow.) The Daily Novelette A Man's World.

ANSWE8 Y By SEHWNS IV SPECIAL DaiVJERY! wvvv" IS DAYS & Bedtime Story For tory "Uncle wiggily and the Butcher." By HOWARD, B. GARIS. IT was still raining In Woodland, where the animal folk lived. All around tho hollow stump bungalow, whcie Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the mui-krat lady, kept house for Uncle WivBllY Longears, the rabbit gentle man, there were puddles of water; little lakes and rivers, too. "I think It Is getting colder," said Uncle Wigglly, as he came in from havinz been up to the Orange Moun tain, to get a dozen of lemons so Nurse Jan could bake a cherry pie, ' "If it gets colder, perhaps It will stop raining." Miss Fuxzy Wuzzy remarked, "and goodness knows we have had enough of water." Yes, a little snow for a change would look nice," spoke the bunny uncie, looking out of the window at the rain drops still splashing down. "Was it raining on the- Orange Mountain." Nurse Jare wanted to know. "Ves, just as hard as It Is down here in the valley. But the water runs off the sides of the mountain, so there are not sc many puddles to step in, as I stepped in one the other day, and got my foot caught in a treo root, when the butcher in his rub-a-dub-dub tub cut me loose." That was quite an advonture," said Nuist Jane. "You haven't seen tho oth'-r friends of Mother Goose the baker and the candlestick maker have you?" "No," Uncle Wiggliy answered. "But I understand that ine butcher's two friends, the baker and the candlestick maker, are having a race with him, each one In a tub. They may sail along any day now. I guess I'll go out and loo!- for them." ' What: In all this rain?" cried Nurse Jane, in surprise. "You'll catch cold in your rheumatism, I'm sure." 'Oh, no, I'll wrap up well in my rub be coat, and put on my rubber boats as 1 did before," said the bunny uncle, maU'-r.g his nose twinkle like a gold too'h in the war doll. Olf started the old rabbit gentleman, cartying a big umbrella so that too many rain drops would not get on his tall silk hat He walked along through the woods, from the trees of whim the rain drops dripped. There were many puddles, but Uncle Wiggily kept as much out of them as he could. "It IB getting quit some colder," he said to himself, as he put one paw in his pocket to warm It warm his paw, I mean not his pocket, for that was warm already. "I wouldn't be sur prised to see it snow." And In a little while a few flakes of snow did begin to fall, dodging their wav in between the rain drops and sort cf playing tag with one another. "How pretty the flakes look," said I'ncV Wiggily coming to a stop to watcn them. "I think I'll sit down n mlnvte and look at them." He found a fallen log which, being under a Chi:stmas tree, was not as wet as It might otherwise havo been, and down Uncle Wigglly sat on that. Jure snow flakes fell, and they looked so pretty that Uncle Wigglly stacd longer than ho meant to, sitting on the log. It kept on getting colder and colder, and finally the bunny uncle saio: "Veil, I mustn't sit here any longer. I'll get up and go buck to my nlct warm cozy hollow stump bungalow. Yes, I'll get up and" But Uncla WTlgglly did not get up. He ouldn't! He had frozen fast to the log, which had some water on it The cold had made the water freeze and Uncle Wigglly was held as fast theie as If he had sat down in sticky fly paper even moro tightly, I be lieve "Oil. dear!" he cried. "This is quite too bad! In fact it is terrible. What shall I do!" He tried to get up. but he could not, and be did not want to take off his rub ber coat, and so free himseir, for fear he m'gbt catch cold without his coat 'Oh, dear! I don't know what to do: cried Uncle Wigglly. "Help! Help: Wll. no one help me to get looser" Ti en through the woods he sudden ly heard a rub-a-dub-dub drumming sounu. Hal I wonder If that can be my frlcr.d. the butcher?" thought the bun ny uncle. But when he looked he saw a baker coming along, dressed in a spot less white apron and cap. The baker had a loaf of bread In Jits hand, and wltl. a large spoon he was pushing himself along in his tub through the puddles of water, which had not yet frozen over. And the baker was sing ing. 'TSub-a-dub-dub, three mon in a tub; The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker; But I am the one with the hot baked potato." Then the baker, seeing Uncle Wiggily I, MW. Idr ( irriV.HK. tke Little Ones sitting on the log, called to the bunny uncle as he stopped his tub boat: "Would you like to buy a loaf of breao?" asked the baker. "Well, yes, I might, for I heard Nurre Jane say we needed some," an swe'ed the bunny uncle. "Then please come and get It," said the baker. "For I am riding a race with tho butcher and the candlestick maKer, and I don't want to stop my boat tub. They might get In ahead of me You see, we are doing a little dif ferei t from what it says In the Mother Goose Book," went on tho baker, shak ing some rain drops off his white cap. "We each have a tub to ourselves." ' I see." said Uncle Wiggily. "I heont nhont it tn iact x met ine butcher sailing along in his tub the oth-( cr day." "Ch did you? Then I must hurry." I cried the baker, "or he will win the race. Come and get your loaf of bread and I'll paddle along." "I can't come and get It," said Tuncle Wiggily. "1 am sorry, but I really car''. "Why not?" asked the baker. Because I am frozen fast to this log." said the bunny uncle, "and I really can't get up. much as I would like to. I was calling for help, and, whn you came alone. I hoped " Ha! Say no more!" cried the baker. "Of course I'll help you. Never mind abost the race. I'll get you loose!" "Hew?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "I'll show you!" cred the baker. Ho stopped his tub. which had started off, put on bis rubbers, and stepped out into a little puddle. In his hands he earned the hot loaf of bread, and the hot baked potato. Putting these down on the log beside Uncle Wiggily, the heat of them soon melted the ice and the rabbit gentleman was unfrozen and cou'd get up and go on his way. "Oh, thank you!" he called to the baker. "Thank you!" "You are welcome was the answer, "and take the bread and potato with you," and with that the baker jumped liacu In his tub and went on sailing, hipirg to catch up to the butcher. So Uncle Wiggily went to his hollow stump bungalow, and all was well. And ir the soft boiled egg doesn't go sliding on the ice and fall down so It breaks all tc pieces. I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the candlestick maker. Copyright 1316, by McCluro Newspaper Syndicate.

Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which Is very Injurious, as It dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.

Y'ou can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten tlfe hair with water and rub it In, about a teaspoonful Is all that Is required.
