“The Gates of Silence”
By Meta Stmmtns, Author of "Hushed Up"
TODAYS INSTALLMENT. ;
The Red House. t
Just for a moment, as she looked at 1
him in the clear candlelight of the Croft
drawing room, the man who spoke to her
In such kindly accents, with so. dcferen-’ t
tial a sympathy, had loomed up before*
Betty’?? eyes in a terrible guise. An en-» :
emy -a man who had trapped her father , (
and destroyed him a man who wished
to make capital of her distressaa nd her
need, that he might destroy her. too. She 1
hardly knew haw she had got rid of him —: ’
how she had performed that hardest of
all tasks, the parrying of offers of help. ,
but what she had known with perfect
clearness was that she must seek a sa4i<- ■
tuary where he would not dare to intrude
she must find a protector for herself.
Before Saxe had left the house Bet
ty’s thoughts had fled to the widowed 1
mistress of the Red House —to .lack Rini
ingtons aunt There had never been
much intimacy between them. Like Rim
ington himself, she had always felt tha.tr
this was a woman whose real life wias
interior and remote from the world in
which she moved, as a child, she “had
often wondered at Toby Rimington’s te
merity in playing his boyish jokes upon
her. yet she had never taken them/amiss
she was kindly. She was a good/wom
an, if a reserved one.* it was not/possi
ble that she could refuse to help her in
her present distress.
The gates nf the Red House stood open.
That was a fact that ought to have sur
prised Betty, had her thoughts not been
flying like scattered sheep before the wolf
of fear. There were deep ruts on the
gravel of the drive, as though some heavy
vehicle had recently passed up or down.
Hetty, as she reached the front door, saw
that it stood open and realized with a
startled dismay that the old stone hall
was dismantled ami empty, save for the
debris of straw and paper that a removal
leaves behind It.
"Mrs. Rimington!” With a little gasp
ing cry of relief. Betty sprang forward
and accosted the figure of the mistress of
the house, who. in bonnet and cloak, w'ith
heavy veil covering her face, was crossing
through to one of the rooms. “I—T had
no idea you were going away.”
“Why, Betty!” Mrs. Rimington turned,
putting back her veil. .There was sur
prise in -her eyes as she looked at the girl
who stood on the threshold, for Betty, in
her panic, had seized a lace scarf and
wound it about her head; but otherwise
she was in the. thin house dress she had
been wearing when Saxe called. The
evening was sharply chill, but until that
moment she had not been conscious of it.
“My dear child, 1 hope nothing has hap
pened. You look terribly upset.”
"Everything has happened,” Betty
cried, with a great tearless sob "And
now you are going away, Mrs. Rimington.
<»h. I don’t know what I shall do! 1”
She broke down completely, hiding her
face on the elder woman’s shoulder, blurt
ing out the story of her father’s death,
blurting out something, too. of the fears
that had driven her there tonight.
"T hoped—l prayed—that perhaps you
would take me in—give me shelter,” Betty
whispered. “For—for Jack’s sake.”
She could feel a quiver run through Mrs
Rimington’s slight form.
A Noble Act.
“My dear child, you know how gladly 1
would have helped you. but I am going
away. Didn’t you know that? lam leav
ing Weybourne forever.” There was a
perceptible hesitation in her voice, and
she continued, almost hardly: ”1 am
going into the country. No, Betty, why

house near—pear Bilmouth. I w’ant to be
near Jack. It has come to me that it is
my duty."
"You are going down to Bilmouth tn |
be near lack?” Betty Lumsden repeated
in a startled voice. “Oh. Mrs. Rimington,
how grand, how noble of you!"
There was a hushed note in her voice,
and she looked at the woman before her
with eyes full of reverence, as a child
might look at some suddenly vouchsafed
vision of an angel.
"Don’t speak like that: 1 detest effusive
ness and emotion.’’ the widow said harsh
ly. "There is nothing in the least splen

accused man. and as such his imprison

have no monej to spend in trying to es
tablish his innocence, and 1 am certain
that it would be money uselessly spent if
i 1 had. But 1 have my life that I can
give to his service the hours of the long
days to spend in prayer for him. It will
save him from losing all hope to know
tha' somewhere, very near, within sight
and sound o fhis prison—there is one
faithful heart that believes and watches."
Betty made a sudden impulsive move
ment of her hands.
"But it is splendid.” she said. Mos’
splendid. Mrs Rimington I would give ,
all that I have to do what you are doing
—for the joy of such service.”
Deborah Rimington laughed.
"For the joy of living in a three-roomed
cottage on a desolate moor, my dear
Betty?" she said. "Os living on practical
ly prison fare, of rising and seeking rest
at prison hours? 1 doubt—l greatly doubt
-that even your love for Jack would
stand that test."
"Try me!" cried Betty. She moved for
ward. her hands clasped in entreaty
“Give me the chance. If you have any
pity for one who is desolate and op
pressed and full of fears, give me the
chance. Let me come with you as your
servant. I ask for nothing better I ask
for no charity, for no wages; let me come
just as your servant—for house room and
food.”
Deborah Rimington’s eyes glowed sud
denly beneath the veil, drawn low on her
brow, that all but shrouded them.
“I’ll give you the trial,” she said, grimly.
"But don’t cry out if you are hurt. You’ve
lived as a princess. Betty Lumsden; you
will have to learn- to live as a herdsman’s
daughter at my cottage on the moor.”
The girl gave a short laugh that was
threaded with tears.
“Ah, you don’t know me." she cried.
“It is much for a woman to do for the
man she loves? It has been done before
by brave women by mothers —by
wives”—
"But never as I will do it.” said De
borah Rimington.
There was a gale raging out at sea:
the noise of its great guns came echo-
Ing over the desolate stretches of open
moorland; the sparse-growing trees bent
before its violence as it rushed inland;
the barren fruit trees and stunted shrubs
in the garden surrounding the thatched,
single-storied cottage were bowed al
most flat as it whirled and eddied about
the building, snarling and howling
Like an Evil Spirit.
“It is like an evil spirit, howling and
threatening, demanding admittance.” Ret
ry Lumsden whispered to herself. She
put her hands to her ears to try and
shut outt he sound. She was weary of
it. For the two weeks she had been at
the cottage on the moor she had heard
no other sound but this—save the far
off clang of the prison bell. But it was
not to be shut out—it seemed to have
found an entrance to her very brain
To her life’s end Betty Lumsden dreaded
and hated the complaining, blustering
voice of he wind.
Only two weeks now since Mrs Riming
ton and she had reached this isolated
cottage which Mrs. Rimington had bought
within sight and sound of Bilmouth jail
—weeks that seemed like years to the
girl. The slow, dragging length of the
days bit into her consciousness ail the
more clearly the realization of what those
days “that are like a year” must be to
the man she loved. Betty Lumsden wa,s
not a coward; she had counted the cost
before she threw’ in her 10l with Deborah
Rimington. - Yet already she was begin
ning to realize that it would take all
her fortitude to keep up and not to faint
with heart-weariness. Mrs. Rimington
had taken her offer absolutely by the let
ter. her position in the cottage was one
of subordination. She had her own tiny
bed room and the kitchen as her king
dom; Mrs. Rimington used the remain
ing room as her own, coming out only for
the meals shared in the kitchen, and
speaking little. She had always been a
silent woman, and Betty had neevr found
her silence oppressive until now

MISS DIANA OSTE.
(One of the Ziegfeld beauties in "The Winsome Widow" Company.)
By DIANA OSTE.
QUITE a lot of people have asked
me what I do to keep my halt
looking so well, and to make it
glow so long.
Now. 1 can't say that I had anything
to do in making it grow long. My hair
always was healthy and strong, and
it's only since I've been on the stage
that 1 realize that you have to care for
your hair if you want to keep it in
good condition.
The heat of the dressing rooms, the
paint and powder, and the quantity of
cold cream one uses, all have their
effect on the scalp, and they are not
good for the hair any more than is
dust or other substances which clog, the
pores of the scalp. ’
The hair of the modern girl really
does not get enough ventilation, and I
believe that is one reason why there
are so few fihe heads of halt, such as
we are told women used to have in
I generations past.
In the first place, sunshine is an ab
. Solute necessity for the hair, especially
if it is light or has golden or reddish
glints in it. You can notice right awgy
the difference in the color of the hair
of a blonde if after a period of long
confinement in the house she spends
1 a whole day in the sunshine without a
, hat on.
Whenever I get the chance I venti
■ late my hail, taking out all the hair
pins and letting it down, running my
hands through it, so that the air gets
to the roots. If 1 have the good for
’ tune to be in the country. I don't wear
a hat at all. but go about with my
hair hanging, letting the wind and sun.
. shine act as beauty agents.
The Open Air.
One day in the open air will lighten
the hair up wonderfully, and the
blonde who can stay out of doors will
never need the aid of the peroxide
■ bottle. But. of course, to lighten up
the hair in this natural way, you must
Jet it down and brush and comb it fre
' quently, so that the light and the air
will get-4o all parts of it.
Bathing in salt water and then dry
ing the hair in the strong sun will also
1 lighten it considerably, but you must
be sure and not try it too often, or
the hair will become brittle and break
. off.
So many people have brittle hair that
it's no wonder people who sell bril
llantine make fortunes at 11.
I have my own special way of oiling
my hair, and though 1 don't do it very
I often, 1 do it very thoroughly, as you
will see. Whenever I have a vacation,
especially if that vacation occurs in
■ summertime, I get read) a couple of
little caps. and. taking a bottle of good
cocoanut oil, 1 go away to the coun
try or some place where my friends
To Develop the Bust
I
To Beauty Editor:
BI am so ashamed
cf my thin bust
that I want to ask
you if there is any
harmless wax to
develop it. My hips
and the rest of my
body are right for
the present styles,
and 1 do not want
them any larger,
but my bust is so
flat that I would
try anything that

The only thing I
knt w of that will develop the bust with
out increasing the size of the hips, or
without putting «»n flesh where not need

Kelly (’oinpany, especially for small and
undeveloped breasts. It is the discovery
of a woman physician whose practice was

in cases of arrested development of the

without anyone knowing ’hat the treat

Many mothers have told me that after
the haby had been weaned the breasts be
came flabby and shrunken, but the use of
Dr. Kelly’s prescription made them full
and firm. Do not use pads <»r bust forms
as they never look natural and have a
bad effect upon the general health. Neith

without startling the neighborhood. 1
sit out in the open air and take the cap
off. and ventilate the hair and scalp. At
night 1 wear a little cap of oilskin to
protect the pillow, and 1 leave this oil
on for at least a week and sometimes
two. Then when I am ready to come
away I shampoo my hair thoroughly
with hot soap suds made from soap
bark, and dry it in the sun. For months
it keeps a beautiful gloss, due to the
thorough oiling it received, and 1 never
have to do a thing to it.
I find that if I worry much, or am
ill or dispirited, my it al

sun so long that she sunburned her
scalp. It was very painful, and besides
it faded her hair. When you air your

call iu don't sit in the broiling sun un

thin, the skin is likely to be badly

One of the worst things for the hail
is the small modern, hat. No ventila
tion gets in. and after this fashion
changes. I know the hair dressers will
reap their reward, for almost every one
will need false hair.
1 have always found that when the
hair falls out too much it is dtie to two
things—-indigestion or not enouglt
shampoo. I have never failed to reme
dy the trouble immediately by trying
both cures. Os course, it's awfully hard
to shampoo long hair one's self, but
when there is no hair dresser handy I
can do mine quite well by braiding it in
two braids and washing one braid at a
1 time.
Careful Brushing.
Often it is very difficult to keep one's
hair in good order and the scalp clean
. especially "on the road." At such times.
I make up for it by brushing my hail
■ about twice as'much as I would ordi-
■ narily do and by keeping my brushes
very clean. I always have two hair
brushes one wire one for brushing out
tangles and the other a bristle brush
for polishing and oiling the hair. The
reason why most brushing is virtually
useless is because the brushes are not
kept clean enough, and one is just
i brushing the dust in again.
When you are brushing your hair to
clean it, rub the scalp over with a clean
towel or a piece of linen. If the hair
is very dusty, dip the linen in bay rum
and rub the scalp thoroughly. You can
use a soTt tooth blush, if you prefer.
This will keep the scalp in good con
dition even if you have to let it go
several weeks without shampooing the
, hair, and it's a good way to do when
you are ill anil not able to have your
head washed.
