rather, retributive fate, working by sim
ple means? some papers he had found
among his dead daughter’s possessions,
relics of the days when, in the heyday
of her beauty, before the fatal seizure,
she had acted as Paul Saxe's decoy in the
I big Beauty Parlor he had run in the Rue
Ide la Paix—had put him on the scent of
| what the Beauty Parlor had really cov-
I ered, and the details of a dead and gone
■ scandal had given him the first hint of
the part Saxe had played In hounding
the young Princess Karazoff to the des
perate remedy of taking her own life.
'l'he Prince a tall, spare man. who
looked about fifty—received him in his li
brary. a large and very plainly furnished
toom in which there were more books
than Jex had ever seen in his life He
had experienced no nervousness during
his wait, hut now he was conscious of a
sensation far from ease as he met the
Russian’s eyes, which were very blue and
very clear, and curiously suggestive of a
frosty night.
“You have stated that you have infor
mation of a valuable kind, connected with
a subject in which I am interested, to
give me. the Prince said, referring to
papers on the table before him. “You
mean that you have information to sell, 1
suppose?"
He spoke English correctly, but with a
certain difficulty and harshness, and
there was a contempt in bls intonation
that Jex disliked exceedingly.
“Your supposition is incorrect." he re
torted. militantly. "My motive in offer
ing this information to you is purely
altruistic. A transgressor, highly placed
and powerful, requires a chastiser more
powerful, more highly placed ’’
The Prince made an impatient sound
and an almost dismissing gesture of his
hand. But Jex was not intimidated: he
continued imperturbably.
Jex’g Story.
“Your Highness has heard a beginning
like this before; it wearies him, doubt
less. If he will have patience he will ese
hnw differently this story ends. This wolf
in sheep s clothing against whom I claim
\ our aid. this financier in city circles a
very contemptible person, no doubt; yet
this Mr. Paul Saxe has injured you.
wronged you most foully, robbed you of
i honor, of happiness, of your very place in
the world ”
Jex s soft voice, with its almost wom
anish note of delicacy, had grown impas
sioned. The Russian, leaning forward, his
elbows on the table, glanced up with cold
eyes.
“Let us get to the point—if there is
one to your story." he said.
“A very subtle point." Jex rose and
leaned across so suddenly that the Rus- ;
sian drew back sharply- and spoke a few’t
sentences in a low voice. Ah he spoke I
the Russian’s face paled and contracted,
then grew set like a mask of hate.
“Your proof?" he demanded, in ve
hement voice. “Your proof?"
Samuel Jex reached for the hat he had
let slip to the floor His throat was a
little dry the story he had been telling
was a long one; he had a strange feel
ing. as of a man who had been living for
uncounted time another life, very alien
from his own 'l'he eyes of the prince,
fixed intently on his own. were no longer
the eyes of a stranger; there was some ;
thing fiercely intimate in their gaze Out- '
wardly the Russian was composed, but 1
Ids thin brown hands trembled.
"I shall telephone to your police 'l'ha
is, 1 suppose, what you wish me to <lo?“
he said, and there was a gleam like sun
light on ice in his frosty eyes. "You sat
he knows nothing suspects nothing'.'"
"Absolutely nothing." Jex answered
My son-in-law imagined all proofs had
been destroyed that nothing remained to

Blackmailing was Paul Saxe s profession
He was inordinately successful and made
enormous num«; the rich of three coun
tries streamed incr-santly through the
doors- of the Beauty Parloi. and their at »
crets were open books to the spies hr had
gathered about him. I can put the police
in possession of a boxful of his letters.
The princess was not the only— *’
Jex paused suddenly, silenced by the
terrible look on the Russian's face.
It was one’ thing, apparently, to tell a
story, another to comment on it, Jex
thought. The intimacy which had been
established between this man and him
self while he told of the Beauty Parlor
in Paris was gone. The man who had
listened to the story of how Paul Saxe,
the unscrupulous man of ideas, using the
bait of his wife’s beauty, her wonderful
hair and perfect complexion, had opened
this big Beauty Parlor in Paris, and, by
the aid of qudeks and nostrums. the
masseuse, the sand-diviner and the palm
ist. the maker of cosmetics, the corsetlere
and the wig- maker, and the minor hosts
who prey on the weaknesses of vain wom
en, had contrived a plan by which he
could rook his pigeons In two ways—first,
by the ostensible objects for which the
Beauty Parlor existed, and, secondly, by
trading on the indiscretions, the sins, and
the lesser follies of the people who fre
quented it was gone, and in his place
was His Highness Prince Sergius Kara
zoff. a very different man.
For the Beauty Parlor had caused a
furor in Paris For a time it had had
the vogue nf a smart dub, and the modish
women of the two worlds of Paris had
used it as* a meeting place for their ac
quaintances- and for their lovers and its
astute proprietor had not been slow to
avail himself of the opportunities thus
afforded him of becoming possessed of the
undesirable secrets of many wealthy and

foolish women. It was with one of these
women that Samuel Jex's story had been
concerned —the charmingly pretty, foolish
and idle girl Prince Karazoff had married
and left to her own devices.
A terrible story. She had been so easy
a victim to Saxe's ingenious perversion
of what, at the worst, was only an in
discreet flirtation with a compatriot; but
he had contrived to throw such a glamour
of evil and suspicion about it that the
young wife, terrified of her severe and
elderly husband, had, for so long as her
resources permitted, paid the exorbitant
sums of hush money’ the man demanded,
and. when they failed, had taken her own
life rather than face the exposure he
threatened.
'l'he suicide of the Princess Karazoff
and a host of other less startling scandals
had brought Deschanel, as Saxe called
himself, and his Beauty Parlor into un
enviable notoriety He had closed the
place and decamped before inquiry could
he made, and for years since the prince
had been seeking to unravel the secret
motive of that tragedy. Now. at Jex’s
words, everything stood revealed. Paul
Saxe, the financier, the big power in Lon
don city circles, and Eugene Deschanel,
the suave proprietor of the Beauty Par
lor. were one. The man whom English
match-making mothers quarreled over In
their eagerness to honor was the man who
had made his fortune by a stupendous
scheme of blackmail that had ruined the
happiness of numberless women!
'l'he silence in the great room was
broken by the sharp fall of coal from the
grate to the hearth. With an effort the
prince roused himself from the reverie
into which he had fallen, and lifted the
receiver of the telephone that stood on
the table beside him.
"To telephone to your pollce--that Is
the first thing to do," he said to Jex.
And as Jex listened, he smiled. His
head reeled; the Intoxication of gratified
revenge mounted to his senses like wine
Jex Makes a Mistake.
At the Toby .lug Paul Saxe had speed
ily wearied of the companionship of the
gray cat. He had treated its overtures
at first with a species of friendly con
tempt; then he had attempted familiari
ties that had resulted In an angry red
weal down one of Mr. Saxe's slim brown
hands, and he had retorted with a kick
that would, if It had reached its mark,
have very seriously disabled the com
placent Leah. As it was, she had re
treated with discretion, and on the top
of a big and exceedingly dusty walnut
bureau was engaged in mysteries of the
toilet that did not, however, deter her
from keeping vigilant and lambent gaze
on him it was that gaze, perhaps, as
much as anything else that drove Saxe
out Into the shop, where he spent a little
time in ransacking the slock in a listless
sort of way.
He felt an odd reluctance to go awav
without seeing Jex. There was something
so queer in that peremptory command for
his presence—in this empty and unguard
ed shop where he had been received by
the supercilious cat.

taken in her kitchen dress.
It looked sb much like her that her
husband "was pleased. He felt that he

in doubt of his acquaintance on pre

His satisfaction put a new ambition
into Mrs. Appleton's head.
She appeared at a newspaper office a
few weeks later with a large photo
graph of herself, the like of which was
never seen in a newspaper office be
fore.
< >n her head she wore a dusting cap.
Tucked under one arm she carried a
broom, and a scrubbing brush, and a
duster lay like the flowers a girl grad
uate receives—at her feet.
Both hands were engaged In mixing
dough, and there was a smudge of flour
on her nose.
Under the picture she had written:
"Mrs. Lysander John Appleton En
gaged in the Noble Work of Helping
Her Husband."
The picture was refused
