Mr. Gryce had respect for thia outburst.

"Some of these letters were da’ed last
summer, some this fall. The one you are
most anxious to hear about only a month i
back." he added, with unconquerable de- j
votion to what he considered his duty. »
Mr Gryce would like to have carried
his Inquiries further, but desisted. His
heart was full of compass.on for this
childless old man. doomed to have his
choicest memories disturbed by cruel
doubts which possibly would never be
removed to his own complete satisfaction.
But when he was gone, and Sweetwa- •
ter had returned. Mr. Gryce made It his ;
flrst duty to rommuniea’p to his superiors
the hitherto unsuspetced fact of a secret
romance In Miss Challoner’h seemingly
calm and well guarded life. She had loved
and been loved by one of whom her fam
ily knew nothing And the two had quar
reled. as certain letters lately found could
l»e made to show.
The Letters.
Before h table strewn with papers, in
the room we have already mentioned as
given over to the use of the police, sat
Dr Heath in a mood too thoughtful to
noUce the entrance of Mr Gryce and
Sweetwater from the dining room where i
they had been having dinner.
However as the former’s tread was]
[somewhat lumbering, the coroners atten- ;
tion was caught before they had quite
'Tossed the room, and Sweetwater, wit
his quick eye, noted how his arm and .
hand immediately fell so as to cover jjp a
portion of the papers lying nearest to him.
Well, Gryce, this is a dark case/' he
[observed, as at his bidding the two de- *
tect.vo? too., their :ua:s.
Mr Gryce nodded, so did Sweetv.atoj.
“The darkest that has ever come to my
knowledge." pursued the coroner.
Mr. Gryce again nodded; but not* so. j
. Sweetwater. For some reason this Him-,
pie expression of opinion seemed to have 1
given him a mental start.
She was not shot. She was not struck
I by any other hand: yet she lies dead from
| a mortal wound In the breast. Though
|th<-re is no tangible proof of her having
, Inflicted this wound upon herself, the jury
I will have no alternative. I fear, than to
i pronounce the cr.se one of suicide."
"I m sort’ that I’ve been able to do so
little, ’ remarked Mr. Gryce.
The coroner darted him a quick look. •
Aou are not satisfied? You have some i
[different Idea?" he asked.
lhe detective frowned at his hands
I crossed over the top of his cane, then'
shaking his head, replied:
"'rhe verdict you mention is the only
natural one, of course. I see that you
have been talking with Miss Chailoner’s
former maid?"
B’S. ami she has settled an Important
point foi us 'lT.ere was a possibility,
of course, that the paper cutter which
you brought to my notice had never gone
with her into the mezzanine That she.
or some other person, had dropped it In
passing through the lobby. But this girl
assures me that her mistress did not en
ter the lobby that night. That she ac- i
companied her down in the elevator, and ‘
sau her stop off at the mezzanine. She ;
•an also swear that the cutter wa« in a i
book she tarried the hook we found lying !
on the desk. The girl remembers dis- j
tinctly seeing its peculiarly chased handle I
projecting from its pages Could any- I
thing be more satisfactory if 1 was going
to say. if the young lady had been of the
Impulsive type and the provocation great
er But Miss Chailoner’s nature w r as
calm, and were it not for these letters’’
here his arm shifted a little shotjjd
not bo so sure of my jury’s future verdict.
Ix)ve‘ he went on. after a moment of si
lent consideration of a letter he had
chosen from those before him "disturbs
the most equable natures. When, it en
ters as a factor, we can expect any thing
as you knot* And Miss Challoner evi
dently was much attached to her corre
spondent. and naturally felt the reproach
conveyed in these lines."
And Dr Heath read:
"Dear Miss Challoner: «mly a man of
small spirit could endure what I en
dured from y ou the other day Ijove such
as mine would be respectable in a dod
hoper. apd I think that even you will
acknowledge that I stand somewhat high
er than that Though I was silent un
der your disapprobation, you shall yet
have your answer It will not lack point
because of its necessary delay."
’ A threat’"
'fhe wot ds sprang from Sweetwater,
and were evidently involuntary Dr.
Heath paid no notice, but Mr Gryce, in
shifting his hands on his cane top. gave
them a sidelon.'s look which was not with
out a hint of fresh Interest In a ease con
cerning which he had believed himself to
have said his last word
"It Is the only letter of them all which
conveys anything like a reproach." pro
ceeded the coronet "The test are ardent
enough and, I must acknowledge that, so
far as 1 have allowed myself to look into
them, sufficiently respectful. Her sur
prise must consequently have been great
at receiving these lines, and her resent
ment equally so If the two met after
wards But 1 have not shown you the
signature To lhe p<x»r father it con
vey rd nothing some facts have been kept
from him but to us— ’’ Here he whirled
the letter about so that Sweetwater, at
least, could see the name, "It conveys
a hope that we may yet understand Miss
< ’halloner."
’Brotberson’ ’ exclaimed the young de
i tective In loud surprise. "Brotherson!

"The man who left this building just
before or simultaneously with the alarm
paused by Sliss Chailoner’s fall. It clears
.away some of the clouds befogging us
! She probably caught sight of him in the
lobby. and in the passion of the moment
forgot her usual instincts and drove the
1 sharp-pointed weapon Into her heart."
"Brotherson*" The word came softly
now and with a thoughtful intonation.

r I ■* ll rakp one kind of material and make some things en
tirely different out of it seems to be the great ambition
of the modern fashion artist. "Never be what you is,
just seem what you ain’t,” to paraphrase a popular song.
This muff which looks so furry is not of fur, but braid; and
the braid which is so silky and fine isn’t silk; it’s made of
woodpulp. There. I hope that’s complicated enough for you.
it shows how very hard our fashion artists do try to please.
Silk braid is going to be tremendously popular this season.
And you know you can make anything out of silk braid. Even
false hair. Many women are wearing switches of this siik hair,
wh:. h is ever so much more hygienic than ordinary false hair
and can not be told from the real article.
The muff, as you see. is very elaborate, with long streamers
and fringe of silk. The fact that the braid is made of wood
pulp and fiber makes it less expensive than the real kind and
will aid to popularize it.
The last of the summer races have taken place at Long
champs; so the fashions for early fall are definitely settled.
T'-ry include the draped and slightly wide skirt, short jackets
of contrasting color, usually lighter than the skirt material.
The latest jacket is a kind of sack coat which Is vei-y smart
and can be worn with the short pleated skirts. These skirts
retain their narrow lines, despite the pleats, as the latter are
sewn dor. n to look very flat.
The general one-sided effect that was a feature of last sea
son s fashions and which was very much overdone is being
carefully eliminated by the best Paris dressmakers, and lace
land other trimming are arranged in a more natural manner,
j The liehu and the cape effect, however, will be carried over into
1 n> xt season and the cape in all kinds of arrangements will be
| most popular.
Nothing seems to be able to stop the vogue of black and
' v.hite; and, indeed, most women find it both becoming and
economical.' It will continue next fall, and already the first
autumn hats are appearing in black or white. The white ones
are of ’plush, with lower crow ns and large flat brims. Then
l there are helmet shaped toques with the plume very much to
i one side and bonnet shaped toques in the Directoire style.
I These are to be worn with very simple models in velveteen.
. One of the smartest of these new - frocks is of golden brown vel
' veteen bordered with black satin. The foundation is the simple
■ frocks we have seen all summer. A plain, rather short-waisted
| dress is buttoned down the front. The back breadth of the
j velvet Is draped a't the hem of the gown and the band of
; black satin goes over the shoulder to the foot of the gown in
! front and then around the back. There is the flat, wide collar
of la.ee over the shoulders and the so-called Robespierre collar
’ besides.
The girl who loves ruffles would be suited with the new
{ fashion, for flounces and ruffles of lace or heavy material are
sure to be a. feature of the autumn fashions. The dark taffeta
! dresses which were so much worn in the early spring days are
i disappearing from view, while poplins and satins are being
made up for smart afternoon dresses.
Pur has already made its appearance and Is used to trim
1 chiffon dresses. Tt is sure to be very popular for fall, espe
' dally skunk and ermine. A callot dress of white satin is one
of the handsomest new models; the skirt is made very full and
i over it is a short tunic of white chiffon, edged with ermine.
Most of the waists are tight fitting, and all the silk dresses
I have long, tight sleeves. Many of the waist belts are deep and
i folded to the figure with a sash and long ends behind.
Among amusing fashions that were seen at the races was a
i hat in prune taffeta, corded into the shape of a melon with a
1 plain taffeta border; curling from this border upward and
| backward from the right side was a wonderful golden paradise
j plume.
Shoes are quite fantastic, most of them being In the same
shade as the dress and made of satin, but the fad for white
shoes with dark dresses will go well in the autumn, and prob
ably we will see this piebald effect In the winter, too.
Advice to the

1 Ry BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
HE DOESN’T LOVE YOU.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen and have a great
many’ gentlemen friends, but I love
one very much, and he seems to
care for me.
We meet quite often a't different
parties, where he pays a lot of at
-1 tention to me and always takes
me home, but he never asks if he
can cal! for me. My girl friends
asked him quite a few times to
bring me. but he either says he has
another engagement or stays home
without an excuse.
. ANXIOUS.
i If he cared for you he would look for
an opportunity to be with you. in
stead of that he seems to shun it.
It Is a good rule for a girl to ob
i serve to refuse to let a man escort her
home if he didn’t have enougn gal
lantry to escort her there. Don’t let
him take you home next time.
YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am 23 and in love with a young
man of 19. We were engaged to be
married, but this young man is
making only S3O a week, and told
I me to wait, that in the course of
four or five years he would be mak
ing S6O or S7O a week. There is
another young man of 26 who Is
making sl2 a week. I love both of
these young men dearly and do
y ou think it is proper for me to wait
for the young man five years, or
marrv the voting man who is now
making sl2? UNDECIDED.
Don't become engaged to either, for
the reason that you don't really love
either one well enough to marry him.
If y’ou did. there would be no room in
your heart for doubt or argument.
CERTAINLY NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am 32. but do not think I look
over 24. 1 have been keeping com
pany w ith a young lady 18 years of
age for the past year.
1 am at present earning sll a
week, with a bright future.
I am desperately In love with this
girl. She is a Swede and I am
Irish. Do you think this difference
in nationality would mar our hap

If y ou really love each other it makes
no difference what country was your
birthplace or hers. Go ahead and win.
A Swedish girl usually has so much
energy and vim that she makes a fine
wife, especially for an easy -going Irish
man.
THERE COULD BE NO OBJECTION.,
, Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have a bachelor friend living
in the mountains who wants me to
write to him. He is very lonely, he

76 candles and a good-sized cake of
soap. His phosphate contents would
make 8.064 boxes of matches. There
Is enough hydrogen in him in com

< THEN women with high hair and
\/l/ high voices get up to talk about
the Prisoner of the Home they
invariably represent that prisoner as a
woman.
They make of her kitchen dress a
convict’s garb, and mold her biscuit
cutter and dishpan into manacles, and
of the chopping bowl make a big ball
which they chain to her feet.
There may be homes in w hich such
conditions exist, but there are as many
more in w hich the husband is the pris
oner. and his fetters are made of what
his wife calls "love.”
If she doesn’t love him. he can do as
he pleases. If she loves him, when he
takes off his har he hears, "Where have
you been?” and when he puts it on he
hears. "Where are you going.’’
These two questions Mrs. Lysander
John Appleton always asks her hus
band. They’ are followed by objections,
reproaches, more questions, suspicion,
jealousy, sometimes detective work, and
tears.
Lysander John put on his hat.
“Where,” asked his wife, "are you
going?”
He wanted a breath of air. he said,
and was told to stick his head out of
the window. He believed he would go
to the corner and buy a cigar. There
were c igars in his den. He believed he
would ask the druggist for a corn cure.
There were corn remedies in the house.
He sighed, and subsided, but it was
only temporary. He must use diplo

she like a box of candy? She smiled in
