THE MAGAZINE PAGE “The Gates of Silence” STORY OF LOVE. MYS.TERY AND HATE. WITH A THRILLING POR TRAYAL OF LIFE BEHIND PRISON bXrS. TODAY'S INSTALLMENT. The Fugitive. The rain, which ' been falling for two or three hour... nad ceased, and ever and again a watery gleam of sunshine escaped from the rest clouds; but the de luge had done its work, and the park, as Betty walked across it. had a dreary. U.uiuual look, for the rain had brought the sun-scorched leaves down in scores. It was a week since the day of Jack Rimington's arrest, and the magisterial -nquiry was to take place on- the morrow. Betty ’was walking across the park to 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 had been renting their house for six months had been called back suddenly to 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 own 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." 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 his smiling acquiescence, something was concealed; that Anthony Barrington, astute and in clined to suspicion as he was, was blind to the signs of the tragedy that neither she nor her sister had been able wholly to conceal, simply because he chose to be blind. In her anxiety for Edith, Betty found a certain help in bearing her own misery. For Edith’s sake she had to crush down some of her own grief and fear—Edith, who was suffering so terribly, whose nerves were strained to their utmost stretch of endurance. It was a week now since Edmond Levasseur had escaped, and from the papers It would appear that he had not only escaped, but that he had disappeared. The police had not lost the scent—there never had been one. What was to be the end of it? How long could Edith endure? Suddenly, as Betty walked, she became aware 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 typo. 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 accoster. 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 know him. “Oh. yes. indeed, you know me very veil." 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 to 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. r "^—miiiiihbb— am —"■nu wpmaaaMMßwwwwwwwwwwt J Irainl IlliOltiS WWlfl® —rp 4 \*B4* • rc* mZ 1C? tiKjjS ■»« < JiSiStn °pißb ! .i I.'-?’- Spaghetti Night is Guest Night Y°U cannot show your friends more A generous hospitality than to invite them to join the family circle the night you serve FAUST BRAND SPAGHETTI It’s a delightful dish —and so full of whole some nourishment.

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 the 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.

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. “What do you want?" she demanded, indignantly, ignoring his offensive famil iarity.- “Are you mad? To speak to me of all people—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 I 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 powei* to give you ■ over to 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, these beautiful, olive skinned hands. They would have betrayed him, as not being the park loafer he purported to he, 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. "You 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. Rimingtcn, is, in my opinion, conclusive —jet I'll warrant you display- 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 any scandal regarding my sister, but 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 'eave me at large'’ <»n reflection, how it would have contributed to the gayety of nations, the pretty and diverting story I should disclose in the witness box. Ton 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 I forsook the hospitality of His most gracious Majesty.

The dressmakers of great-grand mother's time never expected their customers to have symmetrical fig ures. 1 knew one who is of the third generation of dressmakers, and who learned all 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 on athletics and exercise as they do now. "My mother wouldn’t believe that when I tell a customer she has one hip larger than the other, the woman will go and exercise until sh- cu es 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.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks By FRANCES L. GARSIDE THERE are some men with very high brows and with spectacles with very thick glasses who af firm that -the great menace of every city is gerais. They shake al! the words they know into a box, pour in a bottle of glue and make one word of all that stick to gether. This word describes the worst germs, and is so long it could be cut up and furnish enough alphabet blocks for every child in the land. They tell of germs in water of im mense size, so large if what they say is true the law should compel them to wear bathing suits. They put things on such a strict san itary basis that a man is no longer per mitted to enjoy the comfort of chewing the ends of his mustache unless he first has them boiled. They inaugurate a Ktss-Not crusade, that equips every lover with a lemon, for a kiss means simply a swap of 3,000,0f0 germs. They frighten every one but Daysey Mayme Appleton, who has found a greater menace. “Their ruffle-trimmed words, with long trains,” said Daysey Mayme, "cause consternation, I admit. But I find that in New York the people rec tognize a greater menace,, and that 'menace is The Burglar! “They meet directions for antiseptic measures with questions about burglar alarms, and know more ways for keep ing a burglar out than any burglar ever knew for getting in. "They possess beautiful solid silver tableware and costly jewelry, they wil! relate with pride, but they keep it in a safety vault. Every woman uses plated and imitation, and boasts.of the costly and elegant stuff she has in storage. "When a New York girl marries, a preparation for her weddlpg is to rent •'a vault in which to deposit all the 'silverware she expects to receive And ‘regularly, and so often, she visits this \ault and looks over her possessions as ‘solemnly as one gazes at a family tomb. "Satisfied that nothing has ocen dis 'turbed, she departs and uses plated 'ware with pride because ’she has solid •ware locked away. 1 "She wears brass jewelry with a 'superior air. ‘I am afraid of burglars,’ 'she says, ‘and keep my solid gold in a 'srfety vault.

I realize that when I am on the street at . night I sound like a milk wagon full of empty cans," continued Daysey Mayme, "but I pay no storage rent, and leave nothing behind for bur glars.
