THE GEORGIAN'S MAGAZINE,' PAGE * ‘lnitials Only’ By Anna Katherine Green A Thrilling Mystery Story of Modern Times (Copyright. 1911, Street X- Smith.) (Copyright, 1911, by Dodd, Mead & Co.) TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. ‘’No; they’ve gnne th? other way. Tt W a red hot anarchist meeting, and no mistake. They have arrested one of the speakers, but the other escaped. How, we have not yet found out. but I think there’s away out somewhere by which he got the start nf us. He was the man I wanted you to see Rad luck, Mr. An derson, but I’m not at the end of my ■**®oiirces. If you’ll have patience with me and accompany me a little further, I promise you that I’ll only risk one more failure Will you be so good, sir?” The Incident of the Lifted Shade. The fellow had away with him hard to resist Cold as Georg? was and ex hausted by an excitement of a kind to which he was wholly unaccustomed, he found himself acceding to the detective's request, and after a quick lunch and a hug? cup of coffee in a restaurant which I wish I had time to describe, the two took a car which eventually brought them into one of the oldest quarters of the bor ough of Brooklyn. The sleet which had stung their faces In th? streets of New York had been left behind them somewhere on the bridge, but the chill was not gone from the air, and George felt greatly relieved when Sweetwater paused in the middle of a long block before a lofty tenement house of mean appearance, and signified that here they were to stop, and that from now on mum was to he their watchword Georg* was relieved ] say. but he was also more astonish* <l than ev*r What kind ofthaunts were these for the cultured gentleman who spent his evenings at the Clermont? It was easy enough in these days of extravagant sympathies to un derstand such a man addressing the un •asy spirits of lower New’ York he had been called an enthusiast, and an en thusiast is often a social agitator— but to trace him afterwards to a place like this was certainly a sur prise. A tenement such a tenement as this—meant home home for himself or for those he counted his friends, and such a supposition seemed inconceivable to my poor husband, with the memory of the gorgeous parlors of the Clermont In his mind Indeed, he hinted something of the kind to his affable but strangely re ticent companion, but all the answer he got was n peculiar smile whose humor ous twist he could barelx discern in the semi-darkness of the open doorway into which they had just plunged. “An adventure! certainly an adventure’’’ flashed through poor George's mind, as h? peered, in great curiosity down the long hall before him, into a dismal rear, open ing Into a still more dismal court. Tt was truly a novel experience for a business man whose philanthropy was carried on entirely by proxy—that is, by his wif?< Should he be expected to penetrate Into those dark, ill-smelling recesses, or would he be led up the Inng flights of naked Btairs, so feebly Illuminated that they gave the Impression of extending indefi nitely into dimmer and dimmer heights of decay and desolation? Sweetwater seemed to decide for the rear, for leaving George, he stepped down the hall into the court beyond, where George could see him casting Inquiring glances up at the walls above him. An other tenement, similar to the one whose rear end he was comtemplating, towered behind but he paid no attention to that. He was satisfied with the look he hud giv en and came quickly back, joining George at the foot of the staircase, up which he silently led the way It was a rude, none-to-well-cared-for building, but it seemed respectable enough and very quiet, considering the tnast> of people it accommodated. There were marks of poverty everywhere, but no HIGH COST OF LIVING Most Serious Problem of Today. Due Largely to Sickness. Read This Letter. CLIFTON MILLS. KY.—That the high cost of living is due largely to sickness, especially among the women folks, no one can doubt, but in the fol lowing letter from Mrs. Sylvania Woods. <’f this place, it is brought more forcibly home to us: “Before I began to take Cardui, the woman's tonic, my back and head would hurt so bad, day and night, I thought the pain would kill me I was unable to attend to any of my household du ties “I had only taken three bottles of Cardui when I began to feel like a new woman. Within a few months I gained 35 pounds and now I not only do al) my own housework and washing, but. most of the time, run a big water mill, while my husband runs the farm. “I wish every suffering woman would give Cardui a trial, for 1 am sure it would help them, as it has me." At an expanse of 33.00, for three bot tles of Cardui. Mrs. Woods regained her health and is now able to attend to the numerous duties which former ly she either had to hire done or neg lect, thus Increasing her cost of living Lady r. ader, are you suffering from any of the ailments so common to your sex ’ Wouldn't it be worth a few dol lars to uto feel well enough to look after your lally work?

It appeared to beone of caution, but when the two came together at the top of the staircase, Sweetwater spoke quite natur ally as he pointed out a door in their rear: "That’s the room. We'll keep a sharp watch and when any man, no matter what his dress or appearance comes up these stairs and turns that way, give him a sharp look. You understand?” "Yes; but—" "Oh, he hasn’t come yet, I took pains to find that out. You saw me go into the court and look up That was to see If his window was lighted. Well, it wasn't." George felt non-plussed. "But surely," said he, "the gentleman named Brotherson dosn’t live here." "The Inventor does." "Oh!” "And but I will explain later." The suppressed excitement contained In these words made George stare. Inded, he had been wondering for some time at the manner of the detective which show ed a curious mixture of several opposing emotions. Now, the fellow was actually In a tremble of hope or Impatience;—and, not content with listening, he peered every few minutes down the well of the stair case, and when he was not doing that, tramped from end to end of the narrow passage-way separating the had of the stairs from the door he had pointed out, like one to whom minutes were hours. All this time he seemed to forget George who certainly hArt as much reason as himself for finding the time long But when, after some half hour of this tedium and suspense, there rose from below the faint clatter of ascending footsteps, he re membered bis meek companion and becko. ning hhn to one side, began a studied conversation with him, showing him a note-book In ■which he had written such phrases as these: Don't look up till he is fairly In range with the light. There's nothing to fear; he dosn’t know either of us. If it is a face you have seen before; — if it is the one we are expecting to see, pull your necktie straight It's a little on one one side. ‘ These rather startling injunctions were read by George, with no very perceptible diminution of the uneasiness which it was only natural for him to feel at the oddity of his poison. But only the demand last made produced any impresion on him, The man they were waitink for was nd further up than the second floor, but In stinctively George's hand "had flown to his necktie, and he was only stopped from Its premature re-arrangement by a warn ing look from Sweetwater. "Not unless you know’ him," whisper ed the detective; and Immediately launch ed out Into an easy talk about some to tally different business which George neither understood, nor was expected to, I dare say Suddenly the steps below paused, and George heard Sweetwater draw in his breath in irrepressible dismay But they were Immediately resumed, and presently the head and shoulders of a workingman of uncommon proportions appeared in sight on the stairway. George cast hint a keen look, and his hand rose doubtfully to his neck and then fell back again. The approaching man was tall, very well-proportioned and easy of carriage; but the sac of it as could be seen between his cap and the high collar he. had pulled up about bls ears, conveyed no exact impression to George's mind, and he did not dare to give the signal Sweetwater expected from him Yet as the man went by with a dark and sidelong glance at them both, he felt his hand rise again, though he did not complete the action, much to his own disgust and to the evident disappointment of the watchful detective. "You're not sure?" he now heard, fiddly interpolated in the stream of half-whisp ered talk with which the other endeavored to carry-off the situation George shook his head. He could not rid himself of the old impresston he had formed of the man In the snow. "Mr. Dunn, a word with you,” suddenly spoke up Sweetwater, to the man who had just passed them. "That's your name, isn't it?” "Yes, that is my name." was the quiet response, in a voice which was at once rich and resonant; a voice which George knew the voice of the Impassioned speak e> he, had heard resounding through the sleet as he cowered within hearing In the shed behind the Avenue A tene ment. "Who are you who wish to speak to me at so late an hour?” He was returning to them from the door he had unlocked and left slightly ajar. "Well, we are— You know what," smiled the ready detective, advancing halfway to greet him. "We're not mem bers of the Associated Brotherhood, but possibly have hopes of being so. At all events, we should like to talk the matter over, if, as you say, it’s not too late." "I have nothing to do with the club—’’ "But you spoke before it." “Yes." "Then you can give us some sort of an idea how we are to apply for member ship.” Mr Dunn met the concentrated gaze of his two evidently unwelcome visitors with a frankness which dashed George's confidence in himself, but made little vis ible impression upon his daring compan ion "I should rather see you at another time, said lie. "But"—his hesitation was inappreciable save to the nicest ear— "if jou will allow me to be brief. I will tell you what 1 know—which is very lit tle." Sweetwater was greatly taken aback. All he had looked for. as he was careful to tell mj husband later, was a suffi ciently prolonged conversation to enable George to mark and study the workings the face he was not >et sure of Nor did the detective feel quite easi at the readiness ~f his reception, nor'anv too well pleaaed to accept the Invitation w hich this man now gave them to enter !il« ; room But he suffered no betrayal of his mls- I givings to escape, him, though he was ■ careful to intimate to George, as thev waited in the doorwav for the other to light up, that he should not be displeased at his refusal to accompany him further :n this adventure, and even advised him t- remain tn the hall till he received his summons to enter But Ge, rge had not come as far as tins t > la, k out now, and as soon as -tr -aw Sweetwater advance Int > the now «'"• elite interior he advanced too and lagan to look around hint The reoni like many others in these old fashioned tenements, had a jog mat Where tie <1 or waa, »o that on entering I the\ 1 ad to take several steps before the> I <llll.l get a full gllinp Its four walls’ I" '' n they did. b-'h showci surprise t ornf <rt. if riot elegance, confronted them, | win. li Imp, esstoi however, was Imine- ,ately lost in the evidences of w..rk. | | <1 ,al.

YOU wouldn’t think that this dis dainful young person with the falcon ’ perched on her wrist, in her courtly dress and high, gold-em broidered cap was the ancestress of our athletic girl of today. But she is. When the first woman made up her mind that she would stay at home no longer, but would ride to the hunt with the men folks, she created just as much of a sensation as the first woman avia tor-'-and, oh. dear, how they did talk about her! Os course, the athletic girl had ap peared in Pagan times, but during the early Christian era. and the following dark ages, it wasn't considered nice for a young lady to do anything at all but stand around in stained glass attitudes, and wait for a possible husband to re turn from the crusade. When she was too old (o be anj longer attractive, she was made to do every kind of work and quickly devel oped into an old hag, so that there were only very young girls and- very old ones, and neither of them stirred far from home. Then came the great innovation. I suppose some fine lady like this one with the spirit of a Columbus, and tha courage of a lion, decided that shi was bored to death with things as they were, and that she would stand no longer leaning out over the parapet of the castle, watching and waiting for something to happen, but that she would go out with the men and get the exercise, the excitement, the fresh air and the fun that they found in the chase. So She Did. And so she did No woman had ever [ done this before, not since the year one ! anyhow, and it was looked upon as a wicked and immoral thing, for if you think that people gossip nowadays, you ought to read the pleasant things they said about each other in the Middle I Ages so properly called dark No wom an who was pretty un less she locked herself up In a cloister, and the fact that every right-minded I»erson looks upon gossiping nowadays with disgust shows that the world is certainly growing better Well, the busy-bodies got together i when they saw this beautiful lady ; mounting her palfrey, which is medie val for a horse She didn't wear a divided skirt, but she did w ar a low necked dress Th< people of her time would have been shocked to death at the one, and even we, broad-minded as wv are, might object to thv other. 1 am sure if a woman rode down Fifth avenue in a low-necked riding habit she would be quickly and quietly led to the police station, and from thence to the psychopathic ward of some hos pital. The first athletic lady wore her hand somest clothes to go hunting in. In that she was entirely feminine, be cause her escort was composed of men. In those days women dressed to im press the other sex, while now they dress to be envied of their own. This great lady wore a magnificent surtout sort of robe of green velvet, bordered with ermine—for she was a person of high degree, and to wear ermine was her privilege and right. Her petticoat was a gorgeous thing of heavy silk embroidered in gold and precious stones —the real kind—were set among the golden Howers. She wore very elaborate slippers, too. They had points about an inch long and were made of kid or satin or velvet, embroidered so thickly with silk or golden threads that you had to guess at the material beneath. Hundreds of Them. Hundreds of these slippers are pre served in the Museum of Cluny in Paris and other places. The ladies of those times undoubtedly had small feet, but they were quite broad across the totes and were not the long, nar row, aristocratic foot which is the present ideal in that line. But the most wonderful thing about this first out-of-door girl was her headgear. Fancy going out into the woods with a cap on your head that was two feet high. And just think how your dignity would suffer If some low. bending branch of the tree sud denly knocked it off your head, dis playing the simplest coiffeur of today. Sleek, parted hair, the long braids twisted up tight in a kind of a cabu chon effect over each ear. However, the great lady's way was probably made clear for her, and there were no mishaps on the first hunt, for she went again, again other ladles of equal rank joining her, when they saw the effect of outdoor sport upon the lady's health and temper. Think what it must have meant to them to get out of doors, to get the splendid exercise of the chase, besides the excitement and interest of it all after being shut up most of the time. No wonder if, on their return, these first athletic girls started a new and still more daring innovation. They decided they wanted a bath, and they took one The Mi il< Xgi s were th* ages, and the woman who first took i cold bath fell under the displeasure and ban of all the neighbors who heard about it, for such a thing had never been done before. Undoubtedly it was the devil’s work, said these neighbors, to whom whispering servants brought the tales of secret and thorough ablutions in cold water. "Why should she want to wash? No body else does,” said the gossips. ‘Wa ter should be used to drink and to cook with; it is ungodly to cleanse one. self so often. She is no better than she should be.” Had to Suffer. And so the first athletic girl had to suffer from the malicious and envious remarks of her friends who watched her grow more beautiful day by day, and attributed it to a secret under standing which she had with the devil instead of to the cold baths In which she had begun to delight, and which she took daily until she was old in age, but never old in looks. Exercise and cleanliness have gone hand in hand ever since, for this out of-door girl handed down the secret of her perennial youth and beauty to her children. From anaemic, stckly-looking crea tures, the woman of the Middle Ages blossomed out in the Renaissance in a magnificent superbly vital creature, glowing with health which we see in the paintings of Titian. They did not know that they owed their looks and beauty to that daring spirit who first attempted out-of-door exercise, and then brought baths into fashion, but they did. And beauty Is to be bought nowadays at the same price—exercise, fresh air and plenty of water. INCREASING THE PLEASURES OF THE TABLE Do you have variety enough in the food you serve on your table?

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 29 years of age, and have been keeping company with a man two years my senior, for the last four years, whom I deeply love. I felt he was in love with me. so proposed to him, as he is a little backward. That was three weeks ago, and I have not heard from him since. What can I do? MABEL G. My dear, you can do nothing. You have frightened him away forever, and I am not sure it doesn’t serve you right. A man wants a woman so long as there is an element of uncertainty in the pursuit. As soon as he sees she is as crazy about him, he loses Interest. You have let this man see you are more anxious for him that he was for you. That was a fatal mistake. Pay no further attention to him. and if he comes back, which I doubt, regard your proposal as a joke. YOUR MOTHER WOULDN'T ASK IT. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been keeping company with a young man for two years. I do not love him, but know that he loves me. I have a ring from him. We have been angry twice already.
