LADIES,
What Is
Your Time
Wcrth, In Dollars and Cents?
A gas range will save you at least three hours
kitchen work daily because you have no tires to
build, no coal or ashes to contend with, no kindling
to handle and you save all the .time usually .spent in
' waiting for the fire to catch-up and burn freely.
If you do three hours less work daily for 365
days it amounts to 1093 hours in the course of a
year, or on a wage scale of 25 cents per hour, a total
of . . ..
$273.75 WORTH OF YOUR TIME SAVED
ANNUALLY.
Now, a gas . range will not only lighten your
culinary duties but the actual saving in fuel bills is
well worth r consideration in every home where
household economy is appreciated.
. s '. If you cut your fuel Dill down only 50 cents per
week for 52 weeks you sav in the course of a year
the sum of $26.00 which is more than the actual cost
of having a gas range installed in your home, Think
it over then phone 69. Have our representative
call. Let us explain our divided payment plan, that
makes owning a gas range easy.

The liver on the stove was burning.
There was a amell ef scorching through
tha rooms and a sort of bluish base of
smoke, I hurried back and took It off.
By the time I bad cleaned the pan Mr.
Ilojcomb was bock again is his own
boat. He bad found it at tbe end of
the next street, where the flood ceased,
but to sign of Ladtey anywhere. He
bad not aeeu tbe police boat
"Perhaps ,tbat la juat as well, he
said philosophically. "We can't go to
tbe police with a wet slipper and a
blood stained rope and accuse a man of
murder. We have to have a body."
"He killed bar," I sold obatlnately.
"She told me yesterday be waa a fiend,
tie killed ber and threw the body In
tbe water.":..:- - .-
"Very likely, But be didn't throw It
here."
But In spite of that be went over all
the lower ball with, bis boat, feeding
very foot of tbe floor with an oar,
and finally, at tbe back end, lie looked
up at me as I atood on the stairs.
"There's something here," be said.
I went cold all over and had to clutch
the railing. But when Terry had come
and the two of them brought the thing
to the surface It waa only the dining
room rug, which I bad rolled up and
forgotten to carry Upstairs!
' At 1:30 Mr. Holcombe wrote a note
and sent It oft with Terry and, bor
rowing my boots, which bad been Mr.
Pitman's, investigated tbe dining room
and kitchen from a floating plank; the
doors were too narrow to admit the
boat But he found nothing more im-

at all depressed by bis failure. He
came back, drenched to the skin, about
S and asked permission to search the
Ladleya' bedroom.
"I nave a friend coming pretty soon.
Mrs. FItmsn," be said, "a young news
paper man named Howell He's a
nice boy, and If there la anything to
thla I'd like him to bare it for bis
paper. lie and I bave been having
some arguments about circumstantial
evidence, tool and I know he'd like to
work on this."
I gave him a pair of Mr. Pitman's
socks, for bis own were saturated nnd
while he was changing them the tele
phone rang. It waa the theater again,
asking for Jennie Brlce.
"lou are certain she is out ef tbe
city?" soms one asked, tbe same voice
as In the morning. '
Her husband Mya so."
"Ask; bin) to come to the phone."
He is net here.-
"When do you expect him bark?"
"I'm not sure be la coming back.'
"Look here," said tbe voice angrily,
can't 701 give me any satisfaction?
Or don't yea care UT
"I've told yott all I know."
"Tfou don't know where ahe Uf
"No, sir." '
"She didn't aay she was coming back
to rehearse for next week's piece?"
'Her bnsband said she went away
for a few days rest He went away
about noon and hasn't come back.
There all I know, except that tAey
owe mo three weeks' rent that I'd like
to get bold of
Tbe owner of tbe voice hong up the
receiver with a snap and left me pon
dering. It seemed to me that Mr. Lad-
ley bad been very reckless. Did be
expect any one to believe that Jennie
Brlce hnd gone for a vacation with
out notifying tbe theater? Especially
when ahe was to rehearse that week?
I thought It curious, to say tbe least
I went back and told Mr. Holcombe,
who pot It down in bis notebook, and
together we went to the Ladleya'
room.
The room waa in better order than
usual, a I have saM. The bed was
made which waa out of the ordinary,
for Jennie Brlce never made a bed but
made the way a man makes one, with
the blankets wrinkled and crooked be
neath and tbe white counterpane pulled
smoothly over the top, showing every
bump beneath. I showed Mr. Hol

"Where's the clock V said Mr. Hol
combe. stopping In front of the mantel,
with bis notebook In bis band.
The clock?"
I turned and' looked. My onyx clock
was gone from tbe mantel shelt
Perhaps it seems strange, but from
the moment I. missed that clock my
rage at Mr. Ladley Increased to a fury.
It was all I bad left of my former
gentility. When times were hard and
I got behind with the rent as happen
ed now and then, more than once I'd
been tempted te sell the clock or pawn
It But I had never done it Its tick
ing had kept mo company on many a
lonely night, and Its elegance had help
ed me to kecn my pnde add to retain
the respect of my neighbors. For In
the flood district onyx clocks sre not
plentiful Mrs. Brian, the saloon
keeper's wife, had oneTand I had an
otherthat Is, I bad had.
I stood staring at the mark In the
dust of tbe mantel shelf, which Mr.
Holcombe was measuring with a pock
et tape measure.
"You are sure yon dtdnttakeitaway
yourself, Mrs. Pitman?" be asked.
"Sure? Why, I could hardly lift it,"
I said.
Ho was looking carefully at the ob
long of dust where the clock had
atood. "The key is gone, too," be said,
busily making entries In bis notebook.
"What was tbe maker's name?"
"Why, I don't think I ever noticed!"
He turned to me angrily. "Why
didn't you notice?" he anapped. "Good
God, woman, do yon only use your
eyes to cry with? How can you wind
a clock time after time and not know
the maker's name? it proves my con
tention the average witness Is totally
unreliable."
"Not at all," I snapped. "I am ordi
narily both accurate and observing."
"indeed r he said, putting his bands
behind him. "Then perhaps yon can
tell me the color of the pencil I hare
been writing with."
Certainly. Red." Most peocHs are
red, and 1 thought this waa safe.
But he fivM bis right fannd out with

fallen, lay a towel covered with stains
as if some one bad wiped bloody bands
on It He held it up, bis face working
with excitement ' I could only cover
my eyes. -
"This looks better," bo said, and be
gan making a quick search of the
room, running from one piece of furni
ture to another, pulling oat bureau
drawers, drswing tbe bed oqt from tbe
wall and crawling along the baseboard
with a lighted match In bis band. He
gave a shout of triumph finally and re
appeared from behind the bed with the
broken end of my knife In bis band.
"Very clumsy," he said; "very clum
sy. Peter, the dog, could have dona
better." V ,
I had been examining the wall papei
about the wasbstamt Among tbe Ink
spots were one or two reddish ones
that made me shiver. And seeing a
scrap of note paper stuck between tbe
base board and the wall I dug it out
with a hairpin and threw It Into the
grate, to be burned later. It was by
the merest chance there was no fire
there. The next moment Mr. Hol
combe was on bis knees by the fire
place reaching for the scrap. V
"Never do that under such clrcum
stances," he snapped, fishing among
tbe ashes. "Ton might throw away
valuable Hello, Howell!"
I turned and saw a young man la
the doorway, smiling, his bat In his
hand. Even at that first glance I
liked Mr. Howell, and later, when ev
ery one was against him and many
curious things were developing, I stood
by him through everything and. .even
helped him to the thing he wanted
more than anything else in tha world.
But that, of course, was later. ,
"What's tbe trouble, Holcombe f be
ssked. "Hitting the trail again?"
"A very curious thing that I Just
happened on," said Mr. Holcombe.
"Mrs. Pitman, this Is Mr. Howell, of
whom I spoke. Sit down, Howell, and
let me read you something."
With tbe crumpled paper still on
opened in his band, Mr. Holcombe took
bis notebook and read aloud what be
had written. I bave It before me now:
'Dog meat, 12, boat hlre'-that's not
It Here. 'Yesterday, Sunday, March
4, Mrs. Pitman, landlady at 42 Union
street, heard two of her boarders quar
reling, a man and his wife. Man's

at the Liberty Stock company, where
she has been playing small Darts.' "
