't^T which ' been falling for _. c nr tnree hour... nad ceased, and ever .nd again a watery gleam of sunshine weaned from the rest clouds; but the de luge had done Its work, and the park, as Bettv walked across it. had a dreary, autumnal look, for the rain had brought ~‘p s , irl -scorched leaves down in scores. It'was a week since the day of Jack R'mington's arrest, and the magisterial inquiry was to take place on the morrow, netty was walking across the park to «ee her sister, Edith Barrington, Who was now installed in her own house at Prince’s Gate The Barringtons' departure from the Croft had been extraordinarily unexpect ed Four days ago the American who bad been renting their house for six inonths had been called back suddenly t' America owing to some convulsion in the" packing world, of which he was a magnate; and Anthony Barrington had insisted upon canceling the remainder of the agreement and taking possession of his ow n house again. “Since there is no question of our re turning to Auteuil, at least let us get into a dwelling of our own." he had said, brusquely, in answer to Betty's remon strance "I am sorry. Betty, but I con fess I don't care for being your father's guest.' 1 No question of returning to Auteuil. Why? That was the question the sisters had asked each other; that Betty was asking herself now. Why had Anthony Barrington suddenly decided to bring little Phil back-to Lon don at the fag-end of an abnormal Au gust? Barrington, who was almost old womanish in his care for his little son. Like Edith, Betty was beginning to dread that under his silence, under hts smiling acquiescence, something was concealed: that Anthony Barrington, astute and In clined to suspicion as he was, was blind to tie signs of the tragedy that neither she nor her sister had been able wholly to c.nceal, simply because he chose to be blint. Ir her anxiety for Edith, Betty found a cerain help in bearing her own misery. For Edith's sake she had to crush down sone of her own grief and fear—Edith, who was suffering so terribly, neves were strained to their utmost stetch of endurance. It was a week now siice Edmond Levasseur had escaped, aid from the papers it would appear that h: had not only escaped, but that he had dsappeared. The police had not lost the rent—there never had been one. What was to be the end of it? How bng could Edith endure? Suddenly, as Betty walked, she became iware that a foot kept step with hers. She glanced sideways and saw that slight ly behind her, in unpleasant proximity, was a. man of the most pronounced park loafer type. He smiled insinuatingly at her. and, with a sensation of mingled fear and disgust, she quickened her steps. So did the man. ' Miss Lumsden?" He raised his hat. “You do not remember me, I am afraid." Betty, whose step had quickened al most to a run, hesitated and looked more closely at her gccoster. The Accused Man. He was a tall man, well built, except that one shoulder curved very slightly; a red beard, trimly naval, concealed the lower .part of his face, and the hair he had uncovered in raising his hat was red der still—waving and luxuriant. Certain ly she did not knew him. “Oh, yes, Indeed, you know me very well." the man said, anticipating the de nial that was rising to her lips. “It is merely a lapse of memory on your part— we have not met for some years. May we walk on? I have particular and ur gent reasons for not wishing tn attract undue attention to myself." A little fear caught at Betty's heart. “I do not know you; please do not mo lest me any further." she said sharply. There was something almost challeng ing in her tone, and the man's face changed. i.a.WW! m■! I* Ui a IHIMIHI ■■ I Jf WIIRI—J'L NWHIUIM—MWLWMMMI——II—MM—M.

No, I do not think I need ask you to do that. I trust to your honor. My name Is Edmond Levasseur." “Edmond Levasseur!" Betty stopped short, staring at ths man with a frozen horror. “Move on,” he said beneath his breath. “For heaven's sake, don’t stand there, staring at me. Don’t you know there's a price on my head?” Mechanically she obeyed, and he pilot ed her along an unfrequented path under the dripping trees. The distance before them stretched gray and desolate. For the moment for Betty Lumsden this was not London; instead, before her stretch ed the desolate sand flats of Whttecross, the little Kentish village where Edith's short-lived romance with this man had begun and ended. Face to Face. “We are free from eavesdroppers here.", he said, and paused. They faced each other—a man and a maid engaged in the eternal quest, an onlooker com ing upon them in this secluded spot'might have labeled them. “A surprise meeting for you. Why, how you’ve grown, little girl, and pretty, too—though a trifle peak ed at present." He smiled odiously. Betty recovered her self-possession with an effort. "Mhat do you want?" she demanded, indignantly, ignoring his offensive famil iarity. "Are you mad? To speak to me of all peopl?—have you no shame—no—" The man gave a short laugh. “I have nothing in the world but the clothes in which I stand upright. That, I think, quite comprehensively answers your question. And. to be further ex plicit, I am here because 1 am home less, hunted and penniless. A humiliat ing thing to have to confess, my dear Miss Betty—or Betty, was it. in the. old days?” The girl quivered. “You are Insolent." she said. “Is this a time to be Insolent —when it lies in my power to give you over tn the first constable we meet”' Levasseur made a gesture of his hands, and it occurred to the girl that .they were curiously out of character, those beautiful, olive skinned hands. They would have betrayed htm. as not being the park loafer he purported to be, to any shrewd observer. “Not so fast, my dear girl; think of Edith," he said, "and Edith apart, you are too just, Miss Betty, I feel sure, to deliver up an innocent man falsely ac cused." Insolent Words. “An innocent man!" "Most innocent," he repeated, with mocking emphasis. "Y’ou women are so apt to jump to conclusions, and label a man guilty because his particular code of ethics or the color of his hair dis pleases you. Now the evidence against your friend. Mr. Rimington, is, In my opinion, conclusive —yet I’ll warrant you displav a sublime faith In him. Ah, you are grand, you women." Betty flushed furiously. "You will not find that attitude serve you," she said. "Naturally. I am very anxious to .avoid anj’ scandal regarding my sister, hut there is a limit to my pa tience. I do not intend to denounce you"— "What generosity!” he interrupted. "Yet is it altogether charitable to leave me at large? On reflection, how it would have contributed to the gayety of nations, the pretty and diverting story I should disclose in the witness box. 'Pon my word. I feel it's wrong, on moral grounds, to have drawn back. Imagine the im measurable good a little pride-letting would do your estimable brother-in-law." "The collector of chair-tolls Is very near us." Betty said, quietly. "Ah. I am unforgivable," the man said, half mockingly. “Yet, believe me. I am not such a rascal as you think. My af frontery, as you call it. is but the mask of despair. Imagine the life I have lived since the day 1 forsook the hospitality of His most gracious Majesty It is not pleasant to feel every man your enemy— to be afraid to sleep lest you betray your self in your dreams, to fear to eat lest seme peculiarity of face or movement dis close your identity. A hundred times I have been tempted to go back. After all. what's the rope? I have had a merry life: I'll warrant it would have a merry close, short shift, and a long, long sleep."

There never was a better time to live in than the present century, and as for us women, we ought all to be mighty glad that we were born in the days of athletics and the suffrage agitation even if we have to take hobble skirts and some other follies along with our blessings. The everyday woman of olden times was not as good looking as the aver age woman of today, nor was she as healthy or as well formed. We have a better chance from baby hood than queens of olden days, who were born in the purple, but who lacked the knowledge that modern sci ence is instilling into the average nurse and mother. The child of today has the right to be born healthy and under happy cir cumstances, and now, with the science of eugenics, it will soon be a sin to bring a badly formed child into the world, provided, of course, science and knowledge could .have prevented that misfortune. Science is teaching us to prevent and cure most deformities which the women of olden times cov ered up with pad:-, hoop skirts, bustles and balloon sleeves. The dressmakers of great-grand mother’s time never expected their customers to have symmetrical fig ures. I knew one who is of the third generation of dressmakers, and who learned al! the tradition of her grand mother. She told me that even the most celebrated beauties of 40 or 50 years ago depended on their dress makers for the symmetry of their fig ures, and not oh athletics and exercise as they do now. "My mother wouldn’t believe tha,t when I tell a customer she has one hip larger than the other, the woman will go and exercise until she cures that defect," said this young dress designer. “In the old days she would just say to the dressmaker. ’Go pad the other hip.’ ” To cling to physical defects which you can cure is merely a sign of lazi ness. and it is not fashionable to be lazy, so the mothers of tomorrow, who are learning a thing or two from their dressmakers about their irregular fig ures, are. turning to people like me for instructions to remedy these defects. Lots of girls, have one hip higher than the other, and usually the shoulder of that side is a trifle lower than it ought to be. This may not be percep tible when one is young, but the fault 'becomes more and more prominent with the years, and if not corrected one lands in old age a little old woman with a distinctly irregular build. Both .these defects, the high shoulder and the large hip. may come during school days when the little girl bal ances too many or too heavy school books under one arm, and lets them rest on her slim hipbone. This be comes a. habit and the child gets more and more one-sided, especially if she always tarries her books under her right arm as you will notice most chil dren do 1 hope some day some wise person will make school books that are dur able as well as very lig.ht. Or per hap; we will borrow the good German fashion of carrying the school books in a little satchel strapped around the shoulders and hanging at the back This has no bad effect, provided the books are not too heavy.

A low-, flat heel, a well arched shoe, with suitable length and width, is necessary for < omfort. So much depends on the shoe that I want you to impress this on your own mind and get sensible shoe-gear before you try tn correct your daughter’s bad habits of standing, which have contrib uted to make the one hip larger than the other, or to make one shoulder sag. Occasionally these defects arise from a spinal difficulty and a physician should bo consulted, the spinal column being carefully’ examined. For the rest, the girl or woman who has this uneven figure must think about it con stantly. and with conscious effort she must elevate the shoulder that ’is too low and pull down the shoulder that is too high. If the left shoulder Is the lower one. stand entirely with the weight on the left foot, hold the chest out. bring the left arm up close to the head and the right arm out at the side level with the shoulder. Take a deep breath, press the right arm backward and stretch up energetically on the other side. Now swing the arm that is up backward and forward, making very small circles. Put all the strength into this exercise that you can; exhale and relax and then repeat until you are tired. Now raise the shoulder that Is too low. depressing ttjf other one. Move the shoulder that is raised around as much as possible. In sort of a rotary movement, going forward first and then backward. Exercise one shoulder at a time, trying to elevate the shoul der which needs lifting, and depress the shoulder that Is too high. On the street or wherever you are, remember to lift the low shoulde- ; feel as if you had a vetw heavy weight in the other hand, a weight which was dragging that shoulder down.

At last he went too far. Turning to an old infantry officer, he said: "How is it that your bugle call ‘Ad vance’ is so very short, while the 'Re treat' is just the reverse?” "Because, sir,” replied the old vet eran. “when an American soldier goes into action it only needs a little note from a bugle to make him advance anywhere; but it needs a whole brass band to make him retire.” It was the first night of a new' play. “I say,” remarked the author to the manager, “that scene shifter over there Is a most peculiar-looking fellow.” “Y’es; he's an Eskimo." said the.man ager. “An Eskimo?
