Her father, who had been her constant com panion all winter, had not the least sug gestion to offer In the way of its solu tion. So far as he knew—and he be lieved himself to have been in perfect accord with his daughter—she had injured no one. She had just lived the even, happy and useful life of a younger wom an of means, who sees duties beyond , those of her own household ami imme diate surroundings. If, in the fulfillment of those duties, she had encountered any obstacle to content, he did not know it; ■ nor could he mention a friend of hers- , he would even say lovers, since that was . what he meant who to his knowledge could be accused of harboring any such passion of revenge as was manifested in this secret and diabolical attack. They were all gentlemen, and respected her as heartily as they appeared to ad mire her. To no living being, man or woman, could he point as possessing any , motive for such a deed. She had been the victim of some mistake, his lovely : nd ever kinAJy disposed daughter, and while the loss was irreparable, he would never make it unendurable by thinking "i herw ise Such was the father's way of looking at the matter, and L own that it made opr duty a trifle hard.

Before the Police. Mr Slater was there, according to his promise, and after introducing us, brief ly stated that we had some evidence to give regarding the terrible occurrence w hich had just taken place in the house. George bowed, and the chief spokes man—l am sure he was a police-officer of some kind— asked him to tell what it was. George drew himself up —George is not one ol your tall men. but he makes a very good appearance at times. Then he seemed suddenly to collapse. The sight of their expectation made him feel bow flat and childish his story would sound. 1. who had shared his adventure, un derstood his embarrassment, but the others were evidently at a loss to do so. for they glanced askance at each other as he hesitated, and only looked back when 1 ventured to say: “M s the peculiarity of the occurrence which affects my husband. The thing we saw may mean nothing ” ' Det us hear what it was and we w-ill judge ” George's Story. i hen my busband spoke up. and re lated our littie experience. If it did not create a sensation, it was because these men were well accustomed to surprises of all kinds. “Washed his hands—-a gentleman -out there in the snow just after the alarm was raised here?” repeated one. “And you saw him come out of this house?" put in another. “Yes, sir: ue noticed him particularly.” “(’an you describe him?" It was* Mr. Slater who put this ques tion. He had less control over himself, ard considerable eagerness could be heard in his voice. “He was a very tine-looking man: un usually tall and unusually striking both in his dress and appearance. What I could see of his face was bare of beard, and verj expressive. He walked with the swing of an athlete, and only looked mean and small when he was stooping and dabbling in the snow." “His clothes. Describe his clothes." There was an odd sound jn Mr. Slater s voice. “He wore a silk hat and there was fur on his overcoat. 1 think the fur was black." Mr. Slater stepped back, then moved forward again with a determined air. "I know the man," said he. The Man. “You know the man?" “1 do: or rather. I know a man who answers to this description.

To Be Continued in Next issue Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites A Pretty Girl's Tricks of Beauty By DOROTHY JARDON. lAM too bashful to make any real claim to great beauty, and while I am very much flattered to be put in this series, I am afraid that 1 have no secrets of beauty, and no magic formulas, or creams, to enhance my looks, but, like every girl in her right mind, I want to jfok as pretty as pos sible. and there are lots of little ways and tricks which make one appear more attractive than one really is. This may be deceitful, but. anyhow, it s feminine, and 1 know that every other girl will sympathize with me in the desire to "pretty up.” and perhaps some of them will profit by my sugges tions. When I am dressing to go out I al ways remember that the front view of myself which 1 get in the mirror is the best, because I have taken the most pains with that, but that there is also a back view, a view of yellowish neck and straggling hair, of a collar that might be cleaner, or a veil that is torn, and when I think of all the belts that don't connect, my hand instinctively goes to my own waist line. A great many people talk against paint and powder, and I suppose every body agrees that young girls should not use make-up of any kind. Os course, when you are on the stage you get rather hardened to that sort of thing, though, in general, actresses are thank ful to clean the paint off their face, and 1 don't think they use as much paint on the street as do the people who never saw the footlights except fiam the two-dollar side. My strong objection to using powder on the street is that one never gets it on right. An Ugly Sight. Going to rehearsal this morning. I counted the number of faces that were badly powdered, with perfectly evident traces of badly applied make-up. There were 45 in two blocks When a woman gets to a certain age 1 suppose she may do as she likes, but girls wouldn't use heavy whitemast on their faces if they knew how much old er they looked, and how drawn and dry the skin appears under the coating of powder. If one is going to use powder, however, there should be a ! law making every woman put on her j powder by a very strong light, and ! be sure and powder the back of the neck and behind the ears quite as re ligiously as the nose and chin. The only way you can be sure the back of your neck is quite the same color as the front of it is by using al cohol on it after you have bathed in the morning. Keeping the neck clean is a trick which even very clean per sons sometimes forget. Now that we are wearing one-piece dresses, we don't see so many gaping belt lines and safety pins. But not every girl has caught the trick of wearing her clothes as if they were comfortable, and I think that is a nec essary factor in the art of looking pret. ty. They tell me at the Long Branch Horse siiow that the display of clothes was perfectlj' gorgeous, but that mor of the boxes were empty because tiie girls couldn't sit down. Now, I can't imagine that these beautifully dressed people looked comfortable or serene, and 1 think that frocks which make one physically uncomfortable detract immensely from one's looks, no matter how pretty they may be. Lots of girls have the trick of fuss ing con-tantly with their hair or run ning their fingers over their faces, fum bling their chins or generally feeling to see if the collar or dress is ail right.

Queer Habits. 1 know one girl who rubs her finger up and down her nose whenever she is perplexed or thinking seriously about something. She doesn't know how queer it looks, but I have seen her do it on all kinds of occasions, and often it is quite a ludicrous perform ance; besides that, she draws attention to her nose, which is already long enough. Another girl pinches her nostrils. I don't know whether she thinks that is conducive to serious thought, but it certainly looks odd and makes her nose red. When 1 was a little girl 1 went to school with a girl who winked. She did it as a trick, and occasionally made us envious by looking cross-eyed. We all tried to do as she did. and I became addicted to winking to such an extent that severe punishment was inflicted upon me to make me stop, fortunate ly, I never did accomplish the feat of looking cross-eyed, but to this day I'll pick up any folish little mannerism, and after I've been to see one of our pet star actresses it takes me weeks be fore I can cure myself of the habit of smoothing up my back hair, which is one of het tricks of manner Like all girls on tile stage. 1 have found that two things which ruin one's looks the most are lack of sleep and poor or badly selected food.

He begins to associate the change of the seasons with a change of under wear, and loses his enthusiasm. In looking backward, he begins to realize that he has wasted a terribly big pile of money in having a little bit of a good time. He begins to feel a deep gratitude to ward those who know him, and still like him. The number of times the hero in the novel saves the heroine doesn’t count for as much to him as the size of the type the story is printed in. He would rather gossip about wick edness than engage in it. When he was young and didn’t know ts he would hatch out a peacock or a goose, he had ambition to hatch out a peacock, and make a showing in the world. But now he is older, and real izes that he has hatched out a good deal of a goose; he is less ambitious and more charitable. He becomes a philosopher, and It Is in philosophy that he finds his sola ( happiness.
