Tlio bag wag torn from the hmiilB of a girl who iifterwards explains to Adam that It coitalns the day's takings of her Xatbcr'a shop. At once he found himself in a tremor of excitement, though under the stress his caution was asserting itself for the first time. He thought rapidly. Suppose there had been more than one man. Of course there was only a single set of footmarks, but that only means that one man alone had entered recently from the outside. He had no concern about himself, but somehow he did not like the idea of his companion venturing with him. There was a chilly sort of menace about the bare silent place that seem- ed to forbid one to enter it light- heartedly. "You'd better go back," he â- whispered, "and see if you can find a policeman. Thero ought to be one about by this time. I'll slay here." She seemed reluctant. "You ought not to be left alone," she objected. Adam smiled secretly in the dark- ness. It sounded so as if she thought her presence gave additional pro- tection. It was not as if he wished for his own safety that she might continue there beside him. It was for her safety that he must make her go. He recollected some of his legal training to impress her. "It's house- breaking, you know," he said. "We ought to have the support of the law before going in for that." It sounded jiretentious, and it was of course inaccurate â€" it was burg- lary, if it was anything of that kind, FROM GIRL TO WOMAN QROWING girls are often sufferers from female irregu- larities, bcaring-dowii pains, catarrhal drains Dr. Pierce's Favor:i' Prescription is the wo- manly tonic to give your daughter at such times.

But it seemed to impress | her. j "Very well," she agreed obedient- ly. "Only you must promise that you won't go any further until there's' someone here. Promise!" "Right you are. There must be^ someone here big enough to knock ; a man down, before anyone goes in- ' side. It would be too easy for him to dodge past if he knows his way about inside." At that she went, picking her way through the littered debris by the light he shone for her from her torch. For himself he leaned against the wall prepared to wait. It was very still now that she had gone, and in the silence he could hear his own heart thudding. It surprised him to realise how worked up he was, and it recalled to him an oc- casion only a couple of nights before when he had found himself becom- ing inexplicable and abominably afraid â€" of nothing. This time there might be an excuse for, at any rate timidity, and he knew that he was not in the least afraid. Rather he was strung up like a boxer waiting in his corner for the sound of the gong. Only the previous night, lying awake thinking over a .strange, an extraordinary acce.iis of panic he had resolved to find a way of test- ing himself, of making sure that he wasn't becoming a victim of some disease of the nerves. Anil now the test had come and he was serenely unafraid. He cast his mind back to the in- cidents of the attack at Hnyne Street corner. Queer that there should have t>een no attempt to fling the bag into the waiting car. Was it merely in- tended that the car should be used for the as.'iault and to draw attention away from the real destination of the bag? If that was the case, it argued a great deal of preparation and intelligence, more intelligence than ho imagined wa.'i usual in con- nection with liag-snatching raids. FOOTSTEPS IN THK DARK For .some moments he had hardly moved a muscle, and he was rapidly getting very tired of waiting. He began to fidget, shifting from one foot to the other. He flicked on the torch and shone its light into the doorway again. He imagined that the footmarks weic .slowly drying and the idea seemo<l to encourage his impatience. Anything, ho thought, would be better than to continue to Best /oA-V bu and Baby Too stand impottintly there. His only f«ar was that there might b« something in the excuse he had offered to the girl a short while back, that the man inside miglht dodg« out past him, reaching the door by some round about way. It would be better to wait until someone strong and alert was able to keep guard while he hunted out the quarry. It never occurred to him that anyone but him- self would ultimately fulfil the in- ferior role, that the policeman when he arrived might wish to take charge of the situation. .Another dragging minute and he had forgotten his promise, had made up his mind. She had been gone quite a long time â€" tjuarter of an hour at least, he imagined. Actually it was nearer five minutes. He wasn't going to wait any longer. Holding the torch so as to shield as much as possible of its beam with his hand he tip-toed into the pass- age. On this right was an open door, through which he shone a tentative ray. It lit up, piecemeal, a low room, empty except for a couple of old counting-house desks and a high stool with rent leather seat, from which a wisp of horse-hair protruded. There was little else but a yellowing pre- war map of Europe hanging lopsided- ly on the wall, and over everything dust and cobwebs. He turned towards the foot of the stairs and, placing each foot as though he were literally treading on eggs, be began to climb. At a half- landing where the stairs turned sharply, there was a door. W'hen it opened his light showed him no more than the interior of an ancient store- cupboard. Satisfied that he was leav- ing no one in his rear, he went on. In front of him was the landing of the first floor. This posed a pro- blem. Was he to investigate this thoroughly before he proceeded high- er, or was he to make at once for the third floor which he reckoned was that on which they had seen the light? The man might be on any floor now. It would be easy to go blindly past his lurking place. On the other hand the more he explored the more risk there was of alarming his man. Up to now he had made very little noise indeed, but at any mo- ment, blundering about with his in- adequate light, he might stumble with a noise that would echo through the whole empty building. He paused irr£.^olute in the darkness, having switched off his torch while he thought. Then, as he stood silently there he heard the unmistakable sound of a light tread from above. He stiffened and crouched, pressing hard against the wall. Then very carefully he moved back into the corner nearest the stairhead. The footsteps sounded as if coming down. If that was so the man would have to pass. And as ho passed a pair of determined arms would easily pinion him. Caught in this way a little hunch-back chap would not be able to ' make miuli resistance. 1 The footsteps were slowly coming down, timidly it seemed. Of course, the fellow wa.s descend- ing without a light. On these worn, decrepit stairs, one would need to go warily in the darkness. No doubt he had waited until he thought the coast wa.s perfectly clear. Now he •was about to sneak off with his booty. As he was clearly alone the combat would be both swift and de- cisive. Judging from the sound of him ho had less than a flight of stairs still to go before he reached -Adam's landing. The descending footstep.s loached i the bottom of the flight, Adam held his breath â€" he could actually hear the other man breathing noisily. There came a sound of cautious movement as if he were feeling in advaneo with his foot. Then there was the scraping of a match and a little flicker of light from between cuiiped hand.<. The flicker dwindled and the match went out. .^dam held his breath though the efl'ort seemed to strain his lungs and ho wanted to gulp air noisily. The man fumbled again with his matchbox. Confound him! Did he already suspect a trap? (To Ue Continued.) ft SALADA Unvarying Quality TEA 1H Fresh from the Gardens Old-Time Conductors (Brockville Recorder.) One of the institutions that is in process of disappearance in this country with the abandonment of local and branch-line train service? because of the force of motor com- petition is the old-time passenger conductor who knew everybody, young or old, who travelled up and down the line, who was keenly in- terested in their every-day lives and who could share their sorrows as well as their triumphs. Before such train services were withdrawn, conductors remained up- on the same runs for decades. They looked after boys and girls when they began to attend high school, saw them depart for higher institutions of learning, welcomed them home at the conclusion of their studies, saw them develop into parents of other children after they had settled down in their native environment. They could address th^m all by their first names and many were the little shopping or other commissions ex- ecuted by them in their off-duty moments. Now that branch line passenger services have been cut and in some cases completely eliminatd, many of these familiar trainmen have gone to other runs or have retired upon superannuation. But some of them still remain. The C N.R. tells us of Conductor Arthur Boucher, who has run between Montreal and Island Pond for more than 20 years and who has watched his passengers grow from childhood to maturity. For years it has been his friendly practice to greet newly - married couples amongst his passengers with a neat speech of felicitation and good wishes. Great was his perturbation, however, on a recent run to discover seven newly-married couples each enjoying their first post-marital train trip and each waiting for the veteran conductor's felicitations To avoid re- peating himself seven times it was necessary to seat the seven couples as close together in a coach as pos- sible and address the felicitations en masse. In this little incident the conduc- tor of a local passenger train is seen at his best. Conductor Boucher is evidently of the type that has built up good-will on the part of the travelling public, something that the railway companies' prize very highly. He belongs to the class that used to be familiar on every branch line in the countryâ€" men who knew the people carried on the trains, were interested in their welfare and put themselves out to be of service to them.

To Get Style Views As Well As News London Woman Will Soon View Fashion's Latest Via Television London. â€" Many husbands may be relieved by news here that rush hours, bargain crowds, and "whirlwind" shopping expeditions may soon be abandoned In favor of an arm-chair, a telephone, and a radio at home. For the possibilities of shopping by television were recently demonstrat- ed to members ot the press here at a private exhibition of latest advanc- ed television methods. The receiving set showed a manuequin displaying hats and a man giving a few "poin- ters" on scarfs and furnishing ma- terials. Prices and details were com. municated by telephone. This demonstration has beeu merely one of many indications that it will not be long before the dream ot the "family" teliSvision set can be turned into a reality. Sir Harry Greer chairman of the Daird Televisiou Company, recently addressed his shareholders from a distance of 10 miles, by television, to show them that "almost unbelievable" advances had been made. Meanwhile the British Broadcast- ing Corpoiation Is said to be turning its thoughts toward producing tele- vision programs on a large scale. Recently it has tested several de- vices with a view, it is said, to con- tracting for supplies iu the near lu- ture. Color Is lent to these reports by the persistent rumors in the enter, tainment world that one of Britain's largo radio, gramophone, and disc machine combines Is prepared to put television sets on the market for no Sayi Many Churches Are 'Too Effeminate" Toronto â€" The trouble with many churches is that they are "to effemin- ate," Rev. Dr. A, W. Blackwood, pro- fessor of homiletics at Princeton Theological College, said in an inter- view. The professor declared "a church which is led by men appeals to wo- men, but if it is led by women it does not appeal to men. Many of our churches are too effeminate. There are too many hymns written by wo- men and too often there is not a single masculine voice in the choir." Dr. Blackwood likes deep voices. "Be sure," he said, "that the bass predominates."

"For instance, when you j are driving in Pails, and you wish the eocher to go faster?" I "Oh, I know enough French for that.
