The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have always declined to produce cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. Royal Baking Powder is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence: possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder.

Mrs. Mary Farr was the guest of ajuaap'i ay ilk (Veil I jlnS JiV i-1 Her Cry for Help AaMciata Literary Praia.) 1 iM A roock Harcii wind, which had twnettiow strayed over Into AbrU hurled a plec of paper squarely into George Herriok's lace. At the same moment hU car clanged just below ine corner, and ha started to sprint. But one cannot run when nls eyes ere effectually blindfolded.

So he clawed tae paaar away, crumpled it beenunlndedly, and thrust it into iva pocket. In the diversion of board--log the trolley and reading the morning papers he forgot all about It be reached the office. There he smoother It on his desk, and read, with growing excitement na inmgnatlon: don't dare leave the houae, for I feel he Is always lying in wait for tte. Last night I went to the front gate, for the first time In four weeks, and was enjoying the sweet spring air. I never saw or heard him till he leaped at me.

I screamed at the top of my voice. Mother came out and he ran away with a sort of snarl. I don't take a step outside the door It was part of a letter, In a feminine hand, on thick, creamv Daner. The ruffian wind had snatched it way even as it was being written, for the last few words were blotted, and there was a little splotch of Ink on Herrick's cheek where they had struck. Whatever business the real estate firm of Herrick Holman did that particular morning was transacted by the junior partner.

The senior member opened the mall and dlctatpd a few replies, but most of trie time he spent portnjr over that square of notopaper and the unconscious cry for help which It voiced "Here Is a girl," mused Herrlclc. at lunch, whither he had gone alone on purpofe to ponder on the mcspngc the wind had brought him, "who is being persecuted by an Infernal scoundrel First, how do I know it's a girl? Well, the note is In a woman's handwriting: and that's modern penmanship. They Began teaching that particular slant after I left the high school. She must be younger than considcrabls- and she was young when they taught It, or she wouldn't have learned so perfectly. I'm 26; she can't be more than IS or 20.

"She must be pretty or she wouldn't be persecuted. She is in great terror of liim why. she hasn't loft the house for four weeks! And she has no male protector, or she wouldn't be forced to stand such treatment. She speaks of her mother. Probably her father is dead, and sh has no brother." Here Herrick was interrupted by a fenicker from the waitress.

He had put salt In his coffee and sugar on Ills omlet. With rebuking dignity, he ordered another cup of coffee and took up his reflections again. "Her persecutor is not an ordinary, normal man. If he were1 a a re Jerted lover, say, and had any. pride, he wouldn't be prowling around so.

Perhaps It's a crajy man. No, he can'f be crazy. They would complain end have him locked up. It 'must be a foreigner whom she doesn know at all" why doesn't she report this affair tn the police?" He pondered on that during the Test cf th meal, and finally built up tn "She is refined and sensitive and hates notoriety In short, she'i, a lady. The police would peddle the story to the newspapers, and there would be snapshots of her and her mother and her home In every sheet in the city." Herrick by this time was quite as indignant against the newspapers as against the prowler.

Back desk, after locking the door to Insure uninterrupted thought, he took up the next phase. "The question Is. what am I going to do about It? Here Is a woman a girl In t'lstress, -In actual danger. Shall I turn this note over to the police? No. She doesn't mini me jHmce.

Ar ft result of hlr rieflslnn vnunc Mr. Herrick spent $3.80 in inserting the following in the "lost and found" column of every city paper: "Found 'Near the corner of and Fifty-fifth streets, a letter, Owner-can be assured cf its return and the fln-ner's help by writing G. this office." George put In the afternoon walking around the blocks adjoining the corner of and Fifty-fifth streets. It was a suburban neighborhood of pretty thoroughfares, shade trees, houses set In comfortable yards and neat wooden lences and gates.

The day was warm for April, and he perspired profusely. But he saw' no signs of impending tragedy and met no young woman who looked charming enough or mysterious enough to be the writer of the letter. The second day the answer for which he had been beating a path between the newspaper offices came. It was written on thick, creamy note-paper, in a hand identical with the fragrament of letter he had found. He devoured It eagerly.

It read. "If you have founfl a sheet of paper like this with writing like this, please return to 868 Fifty-fifth street." There was no signature. went home at 4 o'clock that afternoon, Ignoring the vulgarly facetious remark of his partner that the real estate firm of Herrick Holman now consists of "one working-man and one gent, and I know who the worklngman Is." George had an early and fragmentary and tasteless dinner. Then he spent two hours In oiling and loading his long nnufed revolver: putting on and taking off three suits of clothes, an'' nntvlng some 11 neckties. The.
