I devoured its con ents—the exclamation 1 made on read ing It waking George. :e writing was in Mr. Slater's hand, and the words were: I must reguest, at the instance of .tier Heath and such of the-police as listened to your adventure, that >u make no further mention of what ou saw in the street under our win dows last night. The doctors find no bullet in the wound. This clears Mr. Brotherson.” Sweet Little Miss Clarke. When we took our seats at the break fast table it was with the feeling of being no longer looked upon as connetted in any way with this case. Yet our interest in it was. if anything, increased, and when I saw George casting furtive glances at a certain table behind me, I leaned over and asked him the reason, being sure that the people whose faces I saw reflected In the mirror directly before us had some thing to do with the great matter then • ngrossing us. His answer conveyed the somewhat ex iing Information that the four persons seated in my rear were the same four who had been reading at'the round table in the mezzanine at the time of Miss Challoner’s death. Instantly they absorbed all my atten tion, though I dared not give them a di rect look and continued to observe them only in the glass. "Is it one family?” I asked. Yes, and a very respectable one. Transients, of course, but very well known in Denver. The lady is not the mother of the boys, but their aunt. The noys belong to the gentleman, who is a widower.” r ■'l w// ? /A Jk Mht v Anty Drudge’s Vision. Anty Drudge had finished her weekly wash before noon and she sat in her comfortable rocking chair and dozed. And in a dream, she saw an u happy woman hound with fetters, her right arm chained to a washboiler, her left arm to a washboard. And the sun was setting and it was growing dark. And she dreamed that she touched the shackles on each wrist of the woman with a bar of Fels-Naptha soap. And they fell off, and the woman arose glad and free — free from washday drudgery for evermore. And Anty Drudge, arousing from her slumber, knew that what she dreamed was true. The greatest emancipation proclama tion since Lincoln’s is printed on the back oh the red and green Fels-Naptha soap wrapper. It is the directions for using Fels-Naptha in washing clothes. It is also a different way of washing. It has freed millions of women from wash day drudgery for all time to come —from slavery to the old back-breaking, health wrecking methods which used to be thought necessary. Are you still a slave to these old-fash ioned methods, drudging away every wash day, wasting your time and your work and wearing out clothes before their time? Then stop. Use Fels-Naptha. Wash your clothes in the new and easy way in cool or lukewarm water, summer or winter, with out boiling or hard rubbing. Easy directions on the back of the Fels-Naptha wrapper. "Thetr word ought to be good.” George nodded. The boys look wide-awake enough if the father does not. As for the aunt. . e is sweetness Itself. Do they still in sist that Miss Chailoner was the only person In the room with them at this time?” They did last night. I don’t know how they will meet this statement of the doc tor's.” "George!” He leaned nearer. "Have you ever thought that she might have been a suicide? That she stabbed herself?” No. for in that case a weapon would have been found ” And are you sure that none was?” Positive. Such a fact could not have been kept quiet. If a weapon had been picked up there would be no mystery, and no necessity for further police investiga tion ” "And the detectives are still here?” “I just saw one.” "George!” Again his head came nearer. "Have they searched the lobby? 1 be lieve she had a weapon.” "Laura!” "I know it sounds foolish, but the al ternative is so improbable. A family like that can not be leagued together in a con spiracy to hide the truth concerning a matter so serious. To be sure, they may al! be short-sighted, or so littje given to observation that they didn't see what passed before their eyes. The boys look wide-awake enough, but who can tell? I would sooner believe that—” I stopped short so suddenly that George looked startled. My attention had been caught by something new I saw in the mirror upon which my attention was fixed. A man was looking in from the corridor behind, at the four persons we were just discussing. He was watching them intently, and I thought I knew his face. "VY hat kind of a looking person was the man who took you outside last night?” 1 inquired of George, with my eyes still on this furtive watcher. "A fellow to make you laugh A per fect character, Laura; hideously homely but agreeable enough. I took quite a fancy to him. Why?" "I gm looking at him now." "Very likely He’s deep in this affair. Just an everyday detective, but ambi tious, I suppose, and quite alive to the importance of being thorough.” "He is watching those people. No. he isn't How quickly he disappeared!” "Yes, he’s mercurial in all his move ments. Laura, we must get out of this.

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites Hotv to Have Beautiful Hands and Nails By EVELYN RORNER. SOMEBODY has said that the hand is the second face, and I believe If one has pretty hands one has a good right to be proud of them, for there are more pretty faces than pretty hands in the world, and It's much easier to beautify the face than to make the hand graceful and charm ing. A woman's hand has so much to do. I mean, of course, the average woman, who has to care for her house, to look after her children, and who has her hand in a hundred and one different things during the day So it is no wonder that there are so few classic ally beautiful hands in the world. The hand that rocks the cradle may still be white and soft, but when it shreds the codfish, blacks the stove, does the family mending and washes clothes besides, you can forgive it for looking worn at an early age. However, even housework no longer has terrors for the woman who wants to keep her hands pretty, and who knows how, for a cure has been found for almost all the troubles that beset a busy pair of hands. When a woman’s hands get very red for no apparent reason, she is usually wearing some tight band around her body, either a corset that is too snug or tight garters. Even tight shoes will make the hands red; and. of course, long immersion in cold or hot water will do the same thing Then again, when the hands grow red anC none of these causes are found, the person may have rheumatism or gou', for it is one of the first signs of these troubles; and, of course, the cure has Io be found at the doctor’s office. Preventing Dirty Nails. If one has any dirty work to do like polishing shoes, for instance, or the kitchen stove, and one can not save one’s fingers from getting dirty, a little grease or lard, rubbed around the finger nails, will keep the dirt from getting in them. After the hands have been thorough ly washed, they should be dried with powdered starch, and sometimes it. is a good thing to use oatmeal boiled and strained, instead of using soap. Oat-, meal makes the hands nice and soft, and so will almond meal or bran. For the woman who has much house work to do, there are various kinds of gloves to protect the hands while do ing it, and if she objects to the odors which may linger on the skin, she can remove the unpleasant odor by rubbing them with powdered mustard or by putting mustard in the water in which she washes her hands. I have found that the best whitener for ordinary purposes is plain lemon juice and the oil in lemon peel. This softens the skin and makes it delight ful to the touch. When your hands are very rough and you want to get them soft tn a very short time, take a little sweet cream, cold cream, buttermilk or butter, wash your hands thoroughly in warm water, then rub in any one of these creams you may have, while the hands are still wet. Rub until there is nothing left to absorb; then wash off quickly in warm water, just enough to do away' with the sticky feeling which is so un pleasant. People whose hands chap very easily ought to do this every' time they wash their hands, using an inex pensive cold cream and a pure soap. I have heard lots of women complain that the use of grease in any form on the hand and forearm would make the hair grow’. Well, there is a simple remedy' for that. It consists of a five cent piece of pumice bought at the drug store, and rubbed on the arm in this way; Light Rubbing. If your pumice stone is soft and fairly smooth, as it sometimes is, you wont need anything- else but a little light rubbing over the hairy surface. But if the pumice stone is coarse and rough, wet it a little with soapy water, and then rub it briskly and lightly in a circular manner over the skin on which the hair is grooving. You will soon wear off the hair, and if you rub lightly you won’t irritate the skin, t If you do, apply a little glycerine or cold cream. Most people can use glycerine on their hands and arms, though they can not use it on their face, and it is a good thing to have on one's wash stand, for its constant use will keep the hands very nice and soft. Probably the main reason why the skin of so many hands is so coarse and ugly is because people don't take time enough to dry their hands prop erly, but hurry over them as best they may. The little white spots on the nails are due to poor circulation, and the ridges on the nails come from excess uric acid in tire blood. The white spots occasionally come from bruises or bumps, and then they soon disappear, but when they are the Do You Know— Fish have no eyelids They do not require them, as their eyes are con stantly washed by the water in which they swim.

If you want to get your hands very white, here Is a paste which isn’t diffi cult to make, and which keeps them in good condition.
