Instead of watching, as I ' had hitherto done, every movement in the i room opposite. I drew back against the i wall and hid my eyes, waiting feverishly I for George's return. He came, when ho did c<»mc. In some haste and with certain marks of in creased agitation. "Laura," said he, “Slater says that we may possibly be wanted and proposes that we stay here all night. I have tele phoned Adda and have made It all right at home Will you come to your room? This is no place for you." Nothing could have pleased me bet ter, to be near and yet not the direct ob server of proceedings In which we took so secret an Interest’ I showed my grat itude by following George immediately. But I could not go without casting an other glance at the tragic scene I was leaving A stir was perceptible there and I was Just in time to see its cause. A tall, angular gentleman was approaching from the direction of ti c musicians’ gal lery, and from the manner of all present, as well as from the .whispered comment of my husband, I recognized in him the special official for whom all had been w a it Ing. "Are you going to tell him?" whs my question to George as we made our way down to the lobby. “That depends First. I am going to see you settled In a room quite remote from this business." i "I shall not like that." "I know, my dear, but It is best." I could not gainsay this Nevertheless, after the first few min utes nf relief. 1 found It very lonesome upstairs. The pictures which crowded upon me of the various groups of ex cited and wildly gesticulating men and women through which we had passed on our way up. mingled themselves with the solemn horror of the scene in the writing room, with' its fleeting vision of youth and beauty lying pulseless In sudden death. 1 could not escape the one with out feeling the Immediate Impress of the other, and if by chance they both yielded for an instant to that earlier scene if a desolate street, with Its solitary lamp shining down on the crouched figure of a man washing his shaking hands in a drift of freshly fallen snow, they immedi ately rushed back with a force and clear ness all the greater for the momentary lapse. I was still struggling with these fan cies when the door opened and George came in There was news in his face as I rushed to meet him. “Toll me tell," I begged. He tried to smile at fny eagerness, but the attempt was ghastly. “I've been listening and looking." said he, "and this Is all I have learned. Miss Challoner died not from a stroke or from disease of any kind, but from a wound reaching the heart No one saw’ the attack, or even the approach or de parture of the person inflicting this wound. If she was killed by a pistol shot, it was at a distance, and almost over the heads of the persons sitting at the table we saw there. But the doc tors shake their heads at the word pls ! tol shot, though they refuse to explain I thc inselves or to express any opinion , until the wound has been probed.

That is all 4hat will be required We are strangers to the par- I ties concerned, and only speak from a sense of justice It may be that our j story will make no impression, and that Iwe si all be dismissed with but few j ’banks But that Is nothing to us If the woman has been murdered, he is the murdere r.

Many a girl inherits a tendency to flesh, just as she inherited brown and curly hair. If fat runs in your family it is hard to overcome it, and a con tinual fight has to be kept up against the increase in weight. Ordinarily the woman who is too fat enjoys good food, but some people who are fleshy eat very little; when they do eat. however, they always choose just those foods which make flesh. Then they like liquids, soda water, plenty of water w'ith meals, lee cream, and half watery foods. The amount of fluid one takes has much to do with increas ing the weight, and I suppose one thing every woman knows by now is that alcohol in any form promotes a false appetite and aids in storing up fat in the tissues of the body. The Apple Woman. I once knew a dear old apple woman who was exceedingly stout. You would have thought to look at her that she'd long passed tile age when her personal appearance was the slightest, consequence to her. But dear old Mary was still somewhat vain and her tub-like figure worried her. f knew that she got plenty of exercise, and a ked her what she ate and drank. "Nothing at all! Nothing at all!" she assured me. "1 don’t eat enough to keep a bird alive, and 1 never drink anything but tea." "And how much tea do you drink, Mary?" "Oh, sure, twenty-two, twenty-three cups a day." Well, there was the secret of Mary's fat. and she certainly never suspected that the teapot which simmered all day long on the stove had done so much to make her lose her slender shape. Almost every woman who is too fat has some sort of a little bad habit simmering in the background like Mary’s teapot. Something she never suspects has helped to make her fat, and it’s only after much cross-ques tioning that you can find out what it is.

First of all, there is a dumpy way of sit ting as when one falls to over the top of her stays and slumps in at the waist just as much as her steel armor will allow. Now’, if you want to keep your figure, you cannot afford to slump at all, but should cultivate a good straight backbone and hold your shoulders back naturally, not stiffly, but so that you are never sitting In a round-shouldered position. I have seen so many girls of eighteen or nineteen whose shoulders were round, and whose backs already looked old just because they do not sit up straight. When sitting at a desk or sew ing table, when you are reading or writing, place your chair sufficiently far from the table to allow you to sit well back In the chair, and then bend forward from the hips. This position is really more restful than the hollow chest and round-shouldered one, and it is just a matter of habit to get ac customed to it. There are all kinds of braces sold now’ which hold the shoulders back ■ and keep one from getting a broad and round-shouldered back. They are good for the fat woman, because they remind her to hold herself correctly, which will make her look taller and less dumpy. The same kind of a brace is made by the English army officers of ’ three handkerchiefs. Knot the ends of : two of the handkerchiefs together, slip i these over the arms and around the , shoulders. Now pass the third hand kerchief across the back and under the : two arm-circles, and have some one Up-to-Date Jokes A German gentleman at breakfast one morning said to the servant: "Did 1 come home very drunk last night, • Gretchen?” Her reply was: “Oh, I.or, sir, yes! 1 Why, you kissed the missis!” « chortles—Say, old boy, are you fond , of moving pictures? His Friend —Well, 1 should say so. Chortles—Then come round to our house next Tuesday and give us a hand. M e’re moving that day." Jones came downtown the other morning with a somewhat bruised and swollen forehead. His friend Briggs viewed the contusion with interest, and asked: "How did it happen, old man?" "Collided with the hat rack last night." said Jones, shortly. "Accidentally?" asked Briggs. "No. Briggs." replied Jones, sweetly. "I have every reason to suspect that it attacked me purposely." The barber's shop was well patron ized, when in walked a shabby stranger. "Good-morning, sir!" called the bar ber. doubtfully. "Good-morning!" replied the strang : er. "My good man, will you shave one | side of my face for a dime?” The barber winked at his waiting ! customers. "Certainly," he replied. • "Take a seat, please." Presently it was the shabby strang er’s turn to occupy the seat of honor. L Now. which side shall I shave?” asked ! the barber, as he waved the lathering I ■ brush in the air. I "The outside!" replied the shabby II stranger, meekly. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Form the habit of sloeping with your chin up and you yvill avoid the dreaded double or triple chin. knot this together, drawing tiie shoul ders back by pulling the handkerchiefs which bind •them. Another bad habit which the stout woman easily falls into Is that of go ing around with her head bent down s 6 that she soon has two or even three chins. Chin straps for reducing the chin are sohi everywhere nowadays, or one can make them of a piece of linen cut about three inches wide, with tapes at the end. The linen should pass un der the chin and tie over the head, and press the flabby part of the chin in. as well as holding the mouth shut while sleeping. The Way to Sleep. Young people often lose the pretty contour of the face because they sleep with their mouths open, while the wom an who is inclined to be fat if she will form the habit of sleeping with her head up, instead of bent very far down, or with such a chin strap to hold the mouth shut and the chin up will not acquire the dreaded double or triple chin. Another bad habit is for the fat woman to consider herself fat; the rpinute she says "I am too fat to run upstairs, too fat to walk much," that is just the time to begin work to de crease one’s flesh: to walk and run up and down stairs as much as possible, for indolence Invariably accompanies the fat woman, and that is the most difficult thing to overcome. Body massage, if one can obtain it. would help reduce the weight, and face massage will do much toward dispers ing the fatty tissue that disfigures the youthful face. But, alas! the fat woman does not care about strenuous exercise, and much prefers applying medicated soaps or trying to melt down fat at the Turkish bath, or by spasmodic hard work encased in rubber garments un der a sweater. Os course, the more you exercise the more you will perspire and the sooner you will melt down your fat. ■•Tie trouble Is that few women are willing to keep it up long enough to feel the good results. An excellent movement for reducing the waist and abdomen is the follow ing: Valuable Exercises. Die flat on the back, preferably on the hard floor; extend the legs stiffly, then raise first one leg. then the other, stiffening all the muscles and getting some action in the muscles of the waist, which with the fat woman are usually quite weak and flaccid. After repeating this exercise several times, bring both legs together to a position as nearly as possible at right angles with the body. The woman who will roll on a hard floor a hundred times night and morn ing will soon find her flesh melting away, but it isn’t a comfortable way of doing it. Skipping the rope, usually considered quite a childish game, will also reduce flesh, but if there is anything the mat ter with the heart, it is not advisable to try it. Riding, tennis playing, bicycling and especially swimming all will reduce weight. The woman who wants to get thin must never take naps in the daytime, and she should not sleep more than seven hours at night. This applies, of course, only to the fat woman of robust constitution. Dr. Arnold l.orrand advises abstain ing from meat entirely, in order to re duce flesh, or to eat very little, if any of it, while for the rest of the diet, almost every woman knows those starchy, sugary and fat-forming foods which she shouldn't eat, and which she generally adores. The ideal weight for women of vari ous heights Is about as follows: 5 feet 1 inch. weight 120 pounds. 5 feet 2 inches, weight 126 pounds. 5 feet 3 inches, weight 133 pounds. 5 feet 4 inches, weight 136 pounds. 5 feet 5 inches, weight 142 pounds. 5 feet 6 inches, weight 145 pounds. 5 feet 7 inches, weight 149 pounds. 5 feet 8 inches, weight 155 pounds. 5 feet 9 inches, weight 162 pounds. 5 feet 10 inches, weight 169 pounds. 5 feet 11 inches, weight 174 pounds. 6 feet. weight 178 pounds. 1 The Manicure Lady e e By William F. Kirk << T) ROTHER WILFRED and me | j and Sister Mayme was to a swell party the other night,” said the Manicure Lady. “It was gave by a artist that has just opened a new studio, the same as the studio that I was telling you about a few weeks ago. We had a grand time.” "I think you are wrong in going to studio parties,” said the Head Barber. “I have told you that before, and you know when I tell you anything I mean it.” ”1 can take care of myself without any bone-headed barber telling me where to get off." said the Manicure Lady, frigidly. “This artist was a per fect gent. The only thing I didn’t like about the party was one of hia lady guests. 1 think she must be one of them ladies that is all the time look ing for adventures. I think they call them adventuresses, or some name like that. She hadn’t no more than seen Wilfred when she started making eyes at him. because she had heard the poor kid telling that he was a poet, and I guess she thought that poets makes a lot of dough. Goodness knows they don’t, George; but as long as she thought so I suppose that ain’t neither here or there, but to get on with my story. “The mintue Wilfred noticed that this blond beauty was shining up to him he swelled up like one of them poisoned puppies that you read about in the story books. I guess in the next hour after he made the flash he must have recited about seventy of his worst young poems. Don’t you see. George? He was trying to make a hit with her and con her into giving him a little dough, but he was waiting for a good chance to approach her, and all the time she was playing the same sys tem. I had more than one good laugh before the two of them found out that there wasn’t a quarter between them, and probably wouldn’t be for some time to come. Wilfred was telling me on the way home that in the old days poets used to have patrons and patron esses. He said that any time a poet was on his uppers he would go and dig up some rich old guy or guyess and tell him the facts in the case are these;' I think it was a pretty good system at that, George.

Mrs. Old School, the washerwoman has seen the light at last and has adopted the Fels-Naptha way of washing.” Grocer's Boy— ‘‘She was forced to it, Anty Drudge. Mrs. Millionaire, her best customer, told her that if she didn’t use Fels-Naptha she’d take her washing away. Was tired, she said, of having her clothes come back all yellow and some with streaks of dirt still in them.” • - r ■" - A generation or so ago, if a woman had an errand she walked —she had to, there was no other way.

Do You Know— The title of the white house. Wash ington, was strangely bestowed. Soon after it was built it was proposed to call it The Palace, but this was op posed on democratic grounds. Congress then determined tha£ it should be called the executive mansion. It became known as the white house because, when rebuilt after the British soldiers had partly destroyed It, it tvas painted white to hide the traces of smoke and flame upon the walls. For some time in Vienna street sav ings banks have been in vogue with considerable success. These savings banks are an adaptation of the penny, in-the-slot machine. Any one passing wishing to deposit a small sum drops his money into the slot. Instead of re ceiving bonbons or chocolate in return, he gets a ticket for the coin deposited The tickets are later honored on pres entation at a government departmen’. Encouraged by the success of th.' Vienna experiment, the people of Pans are to introduce the same system into their streets. A lightship has just been placed in commission in Germany that is pro vided with a complete equipment of the most modern devices for aiding and warning mariners. In place of the old fashioned mast-beacons, the vessel car ries a single powerful electric light -t t on top of a hollow mast or shaf', through which the light can be rear ’ in stormy weather. The lightship has wireless telegraph and fog an<l subma rine signals. Diesel oil engines run a dynamo, and two large accumulator batteries store the electric current f. ■ emergency use. The new vessel is l.'o feet long and 25 feet wide. It will be stationed near the shallows at th' mouth of the River Elbe.
