THE GEORGIAN'S MAGAZINE PAGE “Initials Only” * By Anna Katherine Green I A Thrilling Mystery Story of Modern Tinies (Copyright. 1911. Street & Smith ) (Copyright, 1911, by Dodd, Mead & Co.) TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. 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 have something to tell the chief when I 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.

But what came to them from above ' was m«>re interesting than anything to be heard «»r seen below A man’s voice, raise*! to a wonderful pitch by the pas sion of oratory, had burst the* barriers of : the dosed hall in that towering third 1 story and was carrying Its tale to other j ears than those within Had it been .' summer and the windows open, both • Genrge and Sweetwater might have heard ' every word; 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- | once 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 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?

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 Nadine Face Powder Green Boxes Only.)

Another thing that 1 find most un pleasant to look at are the wild-look ing eyebrows which one sees e.ven 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 once a day witlr a tiny brush dipped in olive oil or cocoanut oil.

X“. ‘" d ‘ h “ 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. © © The Manicure Lady ® § Ry William F.

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 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 was there, too, and he had the , his life.
