Tt hart a sinister look, anrt Georg#*, who
is brave enough under all ordinal*} cir
cumfitancep, was glad that his companion
wore a badge and carried a whistle lie
was also relieved when he caught sight
of the burly form of a policeman in the
shadow of one of the doorways. Yet the
houses he saw before him wore not so
very different frAm those they had al
ready passed His uneasiness could not
have sprung from them They had even
an air of positive respectability. a« though
Inhabited by industrious workmen Then,
what was it which made the close com
panionship of a member <>f the police so
uncommonly welcome? Was it a certain
aspect of solitariness which clung to the
block, nr was it the sudden appearance
here and there of strangely gliding figures,
which no sooner loomed up against the
snowy perspective, than they disappeared
%ga'n In some unseen doorway - .’
“There’s a meeting on tonight, of the
Associated Brotherhood of the Awl, the
Plane and the Trowel 'Whatever that
•meansi. and it is the speaker we want to
see, the man who is to address them
promptly at 10 o'clock Do you object to
meetings ?”
“Is this a secret one?”
“It wasn’t advertised
“Are we carpenters or masons that we
can count on admittance 0 ”
“I am a carpenter. Don’t you -think
you can be a mason for the occasion?”
“I doubt it, but—”
“Hush! 1 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 thft speaker
pass out this way’.’’’ ho inquired of the
Shadowy figure still lingering in 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, but it was
not 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 back? 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 co very well. Trust me”
George laughed He was growing ex
cited. hut not altogether agreeably so. He
says that he has seen moments of more
pleasant anticipation. Evidently, my
good husband is not cut out for detective
work
Where they went under this officer’s
guidance, he can not tell The tortuous
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, or 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,
and 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 destina
tion. Yet even here they encountered
»ome impediment which prohitilted a close
approach. A wall or shed cut off their
view of the buildings lower story; and
though somewhat startled at being left
unceremonious!> 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 nf
them ventured further forward in their
possibly hazardous undertaking Yet the
experience 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.
“The approach Is not all that can be
desired.” remarked the detective as they
entered what appeared to be a Inw shed.
“The broken hoard has been put back and
securely nailed in place, and If I am not
very much piistaken there is a fellow sta
tioned in the yard who will want the
pass-word too Looks shady to me. 11l

get back.’
“Rut we’ What are we going to do if
we can not get In front or rear?”
“We're going tn wait right here in the
hopes of catching a glimpse of our man
as he cornea out.” returned the detective,
drawing George towards a low window
overlooking the yard he had described as i
sentinelled. “He will have to pass 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
would give us away. J can't do that
“Perhaps it swings on hinges, ’ sug
gested George “It looks like that sort of
a w indow
“If it should well’ it does Were in

, had been told to look for the man he was
expected to identify. All was dark there |
al present, but he < ould hear from time j
to time some sounds of restless move-
• ment, as the guard posted inside shifted
( in his narrow quarters or struck his be
numbed feet softly together.
But what came to them from above '
was m«>re interesting than anything to
be heard «»r seen below A man’s voice,

Genrge and Sweetwater might have heard '

speaker intent only on the impression he
was endeavoring to make upon his audi- |
once That he had not mistaken his
power in this direction was evinced by
the applause which rose from time to

But this uproar would be speed ii} si
lenced, and the mellow’ voice ring nut
again, dear and commanding What
couki the subject he 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 tn be enlightened. A
shuttfw was thrown back in one of those
upper windows, and the window hurriedly
raised, during which words took the place
of sounds, and they heard enough to whet
their appetite for more. Hut only that
The shutter was speedily restored tn place
and the window’ again closed. A wise
precaution, nr so thought George, if they |
wished to keep their doubtful proceed
ings secret
A tirade against the rich and a loud
<all to battle could be gleaned from the
few sentences they had heard. But its
virulence and pointed attack was not
that of the second-rate demagogue or
business agent, but of a man whose In
tellect and culture rang in every tone,
and informed each sentence.
Sweetwater, in whom satisfaction was
fast taking the place If impatience and
regret, pushed the window’ to before ask
ing George this question:
"Did you hear the voice of the man
w».o«e action attracted your attention out
side t he (’lermont ?”
“No.”
“Did you note just now the large
shado.v dancing on the ceiling above the
speaker’s head?”
“Yes, but I could judge nothing from
that.”
’’Well, he’s a rum one. 1 shan’t open
this window again till he gives signs of
reaching the emi of his speech. It's too
(old.”
But 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 f.eorge’s attention to the
walk running under the window beneath
which they crouched. Some one was
stealing down upon the house nt their
left, from the alley beyond. A big man.
whose shoulder brushed the window as
he went by. George felt his hand seized
again anil pressed as this happened, and
before he had recovered from this excite
ment. experienced another quick pressure
an«l still another, as one, two. three
additional figures went slipping by. Then
his hand was suddenly dropped, for a
ciy had shot up from the door where the
sentinel stood guard, followed by a loud
slaYn. and the mdse 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 tieorge 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 bp heard InsCead the scramble of
hurrying feet and the noise of overturn
ing benches Then a w indow flew up and
a voice called down:
"Who’s that? What do you want down
there?”
i 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 the} j
don’t wait, I • must make the matter
sure."
Ami with a bound he vaulted through
tin window, whistling in a peculiar way
George, thus left quite alone, had the i
pleasure of seeing his sole protector mix
with the boys, as he called them, and
ultimately crowd in with them through
the door which had finally’ been opened
for their admittance Then came a wait,
then the quiet reappearance of the
detective alone and in no very amiable J
mood
"Well” Inquired George, somewhat
breathlessly “Do you want me? They I
don't seem to be coming out.”

MISS AMY WEBB.
(A Ziegfeld beauty in the “Winsome Widow” Do.)
By AMY WEBB.
UtHEN I was a little girl it wor
f tied me greatly because my
eyebrows and eyelashes were
so 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 get 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 1
had read somewhere that that would
make them grow.
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 Ihe altar of early vanity*.
What is the use of remembering past
scoldings! I got a very good one, which
I 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 make the hair grow. Some
times the salve got into my eyes 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 ami eyelashes quite
invaluable to good looks.
A Great Help.
As clipping them proved perfectly
useless, in my ease, I doubt if it is of
any use at ail. 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 I often wonder why it Is
that girls who want to be pretty don't
pay more attention to this verj impor
tant feature
In the first place, there are the eye
brows. which look dirty and untidy,
because there are tiny particles of dan
iruff in them. I think this can be all
removed if the eyebrows are scrubbed

Another thing that 1 find most un
pleasant to look at are the wild-look

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

v£ry 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
bil.
The 1< ng. straight, archless, 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 your eyebrows look as if they
were very far away from your eyes the
eye will look larger and the face mor.e
refined.
When the eyelhrows 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. I
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 harm 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 whinh is supposed to be such
a natural beauty. More, of them have
eyebrows that are made with a pencil,
and look it. It is really not necessarj’
to color the eyebrows artificially, unless
they are absolutely white, or flax blonde
—then they can sometimes be l 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.
1 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.
i For myself, I cultivate my eyebrows
■ with a tiny little brush dipped in glyc
i 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
i tidy, or my shoes not polished, for I
believe that the eyebrow has so much
i to do with making the face pleasing
i and attractive, and- especially in mak
t ing one look tidy and well dressed.

{{TSi’RE 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, 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 w r as enter
tained myself night before last up at a
home in Harlem, and ever.v minute I
was there, looking at my up-state 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
all 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. Tt 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
T>ady. "But, as I was saying, Wilfred
