"We will do what wp can But you must
understand that the matter is not a simple
one. That, in fact, it contains mysteries
which demand police investigation. We
do not dare to trifle with any of the facts.
The inspector, and. If not he. the coroner,
will have to be told about these letters
and will probably ask to see them."
"They are the letters of a gentleman."
"With one exception."
"Yes. that is understood." Then In a
sudden heat and with an almost sublime
trust in his daughter notwithstanding the
duplicity he had Just discovered: "Nothing

Mr. Gryce had reaped forth s outburst.
Making no attempt to a..w< r it. he sug
gested, w ith some he-.’at on. that Miss
Challoner had been seen writing a letter
previous to taking those fatal reps from
the desk which ended so tragi* :«11\ Was

Mr. Gryce recalled the incongruities,
the inconsistencies and even the surprising
contradictions which had often marked
the conduct of men and women, in his
lengthy experience with the strange, the
sudden, and the tragic things of life, and
slightly shook his head. Ile pitied Mr
Challoner. and admired even more his t

But when, the topic exhausted. Mr

"Some of these letters were dated last
summer, some this fall The one you are
most anxious to hear about only a month
back." he added, with unconquerable de
votion to what he considered his duty. |
Mr. Gryce would like to have carried
his inquiries further, but desisted. His (
heart was full of compassion for this i
childless old man. doomed to have his
choicest memories disturbed by cruel
doubts which possibly would never be i
removed to his own complete satisfaction. I
But when he was and Sweetwa
ter had returned. Mr. Gryce made It his i
first duty 10 communicate to his superiors
the hitherto unsuspetced fact of a secret
romance 1n Miss Chailoner's 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
be made to show.
The Letters.
Before a 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
notjee the entrance of Mr Gryce and |
Sweetwater from the dining room where j
they had been having dinner.
However as the former’s tread was I
.somewhat lumbering, the coroners atten
tion whs caught before they had quite
I crossed the room, and Sweeiwater. with |
j his quick eye, noted how his arm and ,
| hand Immediate!' fell so as to cover up a !
I portion of the papers lying nearest to him. j
"Woll, Gryce, this is a dark case," he i
observed, as at Ids bidding the two de- I
terGves took their seats
Mi Gryce nodded, so did Sweetwater.
Ike darkest that has ever come to my i
knowledge.” pursiuui t>i<* coroner
Mr. Gryce again nodded; but not so, j
Sweetwatet Eor some reason this sim
ple expression of opinion seenjed to have .
id ven him a menial start.
She was not shot. She was not struck j
b.\ an> other hand; yet she Iles dead from
a mortal wound In the breast. Though |
'lore is no tangible proof of her having
inflicted this wound upon herself, the jury
will have rm alternative, 1 fear, than to

"I’m sorr\ that I’ve been able to do so
little," remarked Mr Gryce
The coroner darted him a quirk look.
‘\ ou are not satisfied? You have some I
different idea?" hr asked.
The detective frowned at his hands
crossed over the top of his cane, then i
shaking his head, replied:
’ The verdict you mention is the only I
natural one. of course. I see that you (
have been talking with Miss Clialloner’s I
former maid?"

point for us There a possibility, j
of course, that the paper cutter which (
you brought to my notice had never gone

or some other person, had dropped it In
passing through the lobby. Hut this girl |
assures me that her mistress did not en- I
ter the lobby that night. That she ac- I
rompanied her flown in the elevator, and
saw her step off at the mezzanine. She
can also swear that the cutter was in a
book she carried the book we found lying
on the desk The girl remembers dis
tinctly seeing its peculiarly chased handle
projecting from its pages (’ould any
thing be more satisfactory if I was going
to say. if the young lady had been of the
impulsive type and the prov<»catlon great
er. But Miss Ghalloner s nature was
calm, and were it not for these letters"
here his arm shifted a little "I should
not be so sure of my jury’s future verdict.
Love” he went on, after a moment of si
lent consideration of a letter lie had
<'hosen from those before him “disturbs
the most equable natures When it en- 1
tors as a factor, we can expect anything
as you know. 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: Only a man of
small spirit could endure what I en
dured from you the other day l<ove such
as mine would be respectable in a clod
hoper, and 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!”
The words sprang from Sweetwater,
and wore evidently involuntary Dr.
Heath paid no notice, but Mr. Gryce. In
shifting his bands on bis cane top. gave
them a sidelong 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 coroner. “The rest are ardent
enough and. 1 must acknowledge that, so
far as I have allowed myself to look into

the letter about so that Sweetwater, at

I? 1 O take 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, 1 hope that's complicated enough for you.
It shov. s 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 silk hair,
which 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 Eong
champs; so the fashions for early fall are definitely settled.
I hey 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 very smart
and can be worn with the short pleated skirts. These skirts
retain their narrow lines, despite the pleats, as the latter are
sewn down 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 mariner.
I The fichu and the cape effect, however, will be carried over into
■ next season and the cape in all kinds of arrangements will be
I most popular.
Nothing seems to be able to stop the vogue of black and
white: 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 crowns and large flat brims. Then
there are helmet shaped toques with the plume very much to
j one side and bonnet shaped toques in the Directoire style,
j These are to be worn with very simple models in velveteen.
I One of the smartest of these new frocks Is of golden brown vel-
I vOeen bordered with black satin. The foundation Is the simple
I 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 at the hem of the gown and the band of
! black satin goes over the shoulder to the foot of the gown in
I front and then around the back. There Is the flat, wide collar
i of lace over the shoulders and the so-called Robespierre collar
i hpshlpj*.
; Titc girl who loves ruffles would be siiited with the new
l fashion, for flounces and ruffles of lace or heavy material are
sure to be a feature of the autumn fashions. The dark taffeta
i dresses which were so much worn in the early spring days are
I disappearing from view, while poplins and satins are being
I made up for smart afternoon dresses.
Eur has already made Its appearance and is used to trim
| chiffon dresses. It is sure to be very popular for fall, espe
i daily skunk and ermine. A eallot dress of white satin Is one
i of the handsomest new models; the skirt is made very full and
| over it is a short tunic of white chiffon, edged with ermine.
i Most of the waists are tight fitting, and all the silk dresses
| 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
j olain taffeta border; curling from this border upward and
; backward from the right side was a wonderful golden paradise
! plume.
Shoes are quite fantastic, most of them being tn 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
Lovelorn
1 By 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 at 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 call 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 enough gal-
• lantry to escort her there. Don't let
him take you home next time,
YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I 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 watt, 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
marry the young 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 you did. there would be no room in
your heart for doubt or argument.
CERTAINLY NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I 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.
I 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
piness? WILLIAM CHEENERS.
If you really love each other it makes
no difference vfhat 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:
I have a bachelor friend living
in the mountains who wants me to
write to him. He is very lonely, he
says. He is forty; lam twenty. 1
would like to correspond, but don't
want to if it means to encourage
him, for I could never feel toward
him in that way.

THE HOUSEHOLD PRISONER.
1 T THEN women with high hair and
Vy/ high voices get up to talk about
the Prisoner of the Home they
invariably represent that prisoner as u
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 ntay be homes in which such
conditions exist, but there are as many
more in which 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 hat 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 cigars 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
macy.
The florist at the corner has some
Amtgiean Beauties. Would she like a
bunch? She sniffed in scorn. Would
she like a box of candy? She smiled in
contempt.
