aspect of solitariness which clung to the

here and there of strangely gp iing figures
which no sooner loomed up against th--

’’There’s a meeting on tonight, of the
Associated Brotherhood of the Aw], the
Plane and the Trowel (Whatever that
means), and it Is the speaker we want to
see; the man w’ho is to address them
promptly at 10 o'clock Do you object to

“Is this a secret one?”
“It wasn’t advertised
“Are we carpenters or masons that we
can count on admittance'*"
“I am a carpenter Don’t you think
you can be a mason for the occasion?”
“1 doubt it, but— *’
“Hush.' I must speak to this man.”
George stood hack, and a few words
passed between Sweetwater and a
shadowy figure which seemed to have
sprung up out of the sidewalk
“Balked at the outset,” were the en
couraging words with which the detective
rejoined George “It seems that a pass
word is necessary, and my friend has
been unable to get It Will the speaker
pass out this way?” he Inquired of the
shadowy figure still lingering tn their
rear
“He didn't go In by It; yet I believe
he’s safe enough inside.” was the mut
tered answer.
Sweetwater had no relish for disap
pointments of this character, hut it was
nnt long before he straightened up and
allowed himself to exchange a few more
words with this mysterious person. These
appeared to be of a more encouraging na
ture than the last, for It was not long
before the detective returned with re
newed alacrity to George, and, wheeling
him about, began to retrace his steps to
the corner
"Are we going hack? Are you going to
give up the job?” George asked.
“No. we re going to take him from the
rear There's a break in the fence Oh.
we ll do very well. Trust me.”
George laughed. He was growing ex
cited. but not altogether agreeably so. Ho

pleasant anticipation Evidently, my

guidance, he can not ♦ell The tortuou*
tangle of alleys through which he now
felt himself led was dark as the nether
regions to his unaccustomed eyes. There
was snow under his feet and now and'
then he brushed against some obtruding
object, nr stumbled against a low fence,
but beyond these slight miscalculations
on his own part, he was a mere au
tomaton in the hands of his eager guide,
end only became his own man again when
they suddenly stepped into an open yard
and he could discern plainly before him
the dark walls of a building pointed out
by Sweetwater as their probable dvstina
lion. Vet even here they encountered
some impediment which prohibited a close
approach. A wall or shed cut off their
view of the buildings lower story; and
though somewhat startled at being left
unceremoniously alone after just a whis
pered word of encouragement from the
ever-ready detective, George could quite
understand the necessity which that per
son must feel for a quiet reconnoitering
of the surroundings before the two of
them ventureci further forward In their
possibly hazardous undertaking. Vet the
expet ience was none too pleasing to
George, and he was very glad to hear
Sweetwater's whisper again at his ear.
and to feel himself rescued from the pool
of slush in which he had been left to
stand
“Th* approach Is not all that can be
desired.” remarked the detective as they
entered what appeared to be a low shed.
"The broken board has been put back and
securely nailed in place, and if 1 am not
very much mistaken there is a fellow sta
tioned !n the yard who will want the
pass-word too. Ix>oks shady to me. I*ll
have something to tell the chief when I
g*»t hack.”
"But we'. What are we going to do if
we ran not get in front or rear?”
"We re going to wait right here in the
hopes of catching a glimpse of our man
as he comes out.” returned the detective,
drawing George towards a low window
overlooking the yard lie had described as
sentinelled "He will have to pa.-- direct
ly under this window on his way to the
alley," Sweetwater went on to explain,
"and if 1 can only raise it but the noise

But w hat came to them from above
was m-.j-c interesting than anything to
be heard or seen below A man’s voice,
raised to a wonderful pitch by the pas
sion of oratory, had hurst the barriers of
the closed hall in that towering third
store and was <n- ylng its tale to other
ears than tho.» within. Had it been
summer and the windows open, both
George and Sweetwater might have heard
every w*»rd: for the tones were excep
tionally rich and penetrating, and the
speaker intent only on the impression he
was endeavoring to make upon his audi
ence That he had not mistaken his
power in this direction was evinced by
the applause which rose from time to
time from innumerable hands and feet
But this uproar would ho speedily si
lenced, and the mellow’ voice ring out
again, clear and commanding. What
could the subject be to rouse such en
thusiasm In the Associated Brotherhood
of the Awl. the Plane and the Trowel?
There was a moment when our listening
friends expected to be enlightened. A
shutter was thrown back in one of those
upper windows, and the window hurriedly
raised, during which words took the place
»>f sounds, and they heard enough to whet
their appetite for more But only that.
The shutter was speedily restored to place
and the window again closed. A wise
precaution, or so thought George, if they
wished to keep their doubtful proceed
ings secret
A tirade against the rich and a loud
call to battle could be gleaned from the
few sentences they had heard. But its
virulence and pointed attack was not :
that <if the second-rate demagogue or;
business agent, but of a man whose In
tellect and culture rang In every tone. 1
and informed each sentence.
Sweetwater, in whom satisfaction was !
fast taking the place if impatience and I
regret, pushed the window to before ask
ing George this question:
“Did you hear the voice of the man!
wi.oso action attracted your attention out |
side 1 1: t’lermont?”
“No.”
“Did you note just pow the large •
shadow dancing on the ceiling above the
speaker s head?”
“Yes. but I could judge nothing from
that.”
"Well, he’s a rum one. I shan’t open
this window » ! n till he gives signs of
reaching the . < f his speech. It’s too
cold.”
Rut almost immediately he gave a
start and. pressing George’s arm. ap
peared to listen, not to the speech, which
was no longer audible, but to something
much nearer a step or movement in the
adjoining yard. At least, so George in
terpreted the quick turn which this im
petuous detective made, and the pains he
took to direct George s attention to the
walk running under the window' beneath
which they crouched. Some one was
stealing down upon the house at their
left, from the alley beyond. A big man,
whose shoulder brushed the window as
he went by George felt his hand seized
again and pressed as this happened, and
before he had recovered from this excite
ment, experienced another quick pressure
and still another, as one, two, three
additional figures went .slipping by. Then
his hand was suddenly dropped, for a
cty had shot up from the door where the
sentinel stood guard, followed by a loud
slam, and the noise of a shooting bolt,
which, proclaiming as it did that the in
vaders were not friends, but enemies to
the cause which was being vaunted above,
so excited Sweetwater that he pulled the
window wide open and took a bold look
out George followed his example and
this was what they saw
Three men were standing flat against
the fence leading from the shed directly
to the porch. The fourth was crouch
ing within the latter, and in another mo
ment they heard his fist descend upon
the door inside In away to rouse the
echoes. Meantime, the voice in the au
dience hall above had ceased, and there
could be heard instead the scramble of
hurrying feet and the noise of overturn

ing benches. Then a window flew up ami
a voice called down:
"Who’s that? What do yon want down
there?”
But before an answer could be shouted
back, this man was drawn fiercely inside,
and the scramble was renewed, amid
which George heard Sweetwater’s whis
per at his ear:
"It's the police. The chief has got
ahead of me Was that the man were
after the one who shouted down?"
"No. Neither was he the speaker. The
voices are very different.”
"We want the speaker. If the boys
get him. we're all right: but if they
don’t wait, I must make the matter
sure ”
Ard with a bound he vaulted through
the window, whistling In a peculiar wax

MISS AMY WEBB.
(A Ziegfeld beauty in the "Winsome Widow” Co.)
By AMY WEBB.
UtIIEN I was a little girl it wor-
' ried me greatly because my
eyebrows and eyelashes were
iso very light and so faint that they
. were barely perceptible.
1 must have looked like an animated
question mark, for nothing makes the
face look so inquisitive, not to say fool
ish. as extremely light and faint eye
brows. and while it's all right in a child,
it becomes very distressing as one
gets older.
So one day, in real despair, I set to
work and clipped such meager eye
brows as I had and cut them off com
pletely. Then I got a little girl friend
to cut off my eyelashes, too, because. I
had read somewhere that that would
make them glow.
Nobody noticed that anything espe
cial had happened to my appearance
until it suddenly dawned upon the fam
ily at the supper table that I had lost
my already slender claims to good
looks, and that they had been sacri
ficed upon the altar of early vanity.
What is the use of remembering past
scoldings' I got a very good one, which
1 remember to this day. Also my
eyelashes did not come in for a long
time, and finally I had to be taken to a
doctor, and salve was applied every
night to mrulte the hair grow. Some
times the. salve got into my Ayes and
made them smart, and at all events the
performance made an indelible impres
sion on my memory, so I have come to
think nice eyebrows and eyelashes quite
invaluable to good looks.
A Great Help.
As clipping them proved perfectly
useless, in my case, I doubt if it is of
ary use at all, though 1 know it is fre
quently recommended. However, if the
eyebrows are too scant, a little vase
line will generally make them grow,
and so will hair tonic if you use it
regularly.
Many people would have beautiful
eyebrows if they only took a little care
of them, and 1 often wonder why it is
that girls who want to be pretty don't
pay more attention to this very impor
tant feature
In the first place, there are the eye
brows, which look dirty and untidy,
because there are tiny particles of dan
druff in them. I think this can be all
removed if the eyebrows are scrubbed

out every day, using the nail brush and

Another thing that I find most un
pleasant to look at. are the wild-look
ing eyebrows which one sees even on
young girls. These look as if they
need brushing and combing, sometimes
even braiding; they are so wild look
ing and coarse.
No one has to be inflicted with eye
brows like this. The coarse hairs can
be pulled out and the eyebrows trained
into better behavior by brushing them

very good for the eyebrows, and one
can give them a nice shape and make
them look neat and prettily arched
simply by using a brush and a little
oil.
The long, straight, narrow
and delicately pencilled eyebrow was
the old ideal, but the modern eyebrow,
at least the one which our modern art
ists like Christy, Gibson, James Mont
gomery Flagg and Hutt draw on their
pretty girls, is not the straight kind,
but the highly arched brow. If you can
make you eyebrows look as if they
were very far away from your eyes the
eye will look larger and the face more
refined.
When the eyebrows are very scant, it
is usually a sign of poor health, except
in red-haired persons. These scant
eyebrows can be strengthened by con
stant brushing, and they can be made
to look darker by combing them with
soapy water and letting the soap dry
on them.
A great many people have eyebrows
that meet over the bridge of the nose.
This is supposed to be the sign of a
jealous or melancholy disposition. I
suppose if you can’t change your dis
position it would be no ha: ni to take
away the guide post and pull out those
quite superfluous hairs.
Eyebrows can be trimmed into al
most any shape with a little ten-cent
pair of tweezers, and there is no reason
why one should allow them to grow
across the nose or to scatter, as they
sometimes do, right in the middle of
the arch.
Very few girls have the pencilled
eyebrow which is supposed to he such
a natural beauty. More of them have
eyebrows that are made with a pencil,
and look it. It is really not necessary
to color the eyebrows artificially, unless
they are absolutely white, or flax blonde
—then they can sometimes be dark
ened by brushing them with strong,
black tea. Let the tea get just as dark
as possible, have eyebrows clean and
free from grease, and brush the tea
over them.
Massaging the eyebrows, pinching
them and kneading the flesh beneath
with the forefingers and thumb will
often stimulate the growth and is an
other way of making the line shapely.
I think that many girls make a great
mistake when they pencil an otherwise
fine line of eyebrow, making it darker
and thicker. These thick lines not only
look artificial, but they take away from
the refinement of the face and make it
look coarse and heavy.
For myself, I cultivate my eyebrows
with a tiny little brush dipped in glyc
erine and rosewater, half and half. I
would no more think of going on the
street without brushing my eyebrows
than I would go out with my hair un
tidy, or my shoes not polished, for I
believe that the eyebrow has so much
to do with making the face pleasing
and attractive, and especially in mak
ing one look tidy and well dressed.

‘POETS HAS GOT TO LIVE SOME
HOW."
4 4 T SURE had a great time last night,
| George.” said the Manicure
Lady. "I didn’t know that any
body could have so good a time in this
here big selfish town. I was up to see
Mister and Mrs t Mcßeth and I didn’t
get home at all. It was raining when
the party broke up, and they wouldn’t
let me go home at all if I had wanted to
go, which I didn’t. There was a sweet
little girl there named Gibson, from
Detroit, and between Mister Mcßeth's
recitations and the rest of the conver
sation everything passed away lovely.
I guess if father had been there he
would have passed away as lovely as
everything.”
“Folks don’t have many good times
in New York,” said the Head Barber.
"There is too much of the downtown
stuff and too little of the old gathering
around-the-table stuff. I was enter
tained myself night before last up at a
home in Harlem, and every minute I
was there, looking at my up-statA host
and his wife. I was thinking how little
real friendship gets a chance to get out
among New York people in general
The town is too big, kiddo, and that’s
al! there is to it.”
"Wilfred was there, too. last night,"
said the Manicure Lady. “Poor brother
was in fine fetter.”
"In fine what?” asked the Head
Barber.
"In fine fetter,” replied the Manicure
Lady.
"You mean in fine fettle,” corrected
the Head Barber. “You ought to go to
a finishing school with some of the tip
money that you get."
“Never mind what I mean!” snapped
the Manicure Lady. “Some of these
days, George, you are going to prompt
me once too often, and you will be sor
ry. I know a barber once that spoke
out of his turn to a manicure girl and
got a orange stick through the lobe of
his ear. It made him look like one of
them Fiji Islanders. You know they
always have wooden pegs in their ears
or their nose.”
"When you try that on me be careful
that your judgment of distance is
good," said the Head Barber, “I don't
want to hit a lady."
“Well. I wouldn’t probably do noth
ing like that,” replied the Manicure
Lady. "But, as I was saying. Wilfred
| was there, too, and he had th- time n »
his life. There wasn’t no place for hi/
to stay all night, so he had to go

"If I had a home I wouldn’t entertap
