TODAY S INSTALLMENT. ••You will pardon me if 1 press this mat t(,r | have been given to understand that, notwithstanding your break with Miss Chailoner, you have kept up your visits to the Clermont, and were even on thf spot at the time of her death.” ••On the spot?” —, ■ln the hotel. I mean.” ■There you are right; I was in the ho tel ' At the time of her death?” ■ Very near the time. 1 remember hearing some disturbance in the lobby behind me, just as I was passing out at the Broadway entrance.” ••You did—and did not return?" ■ Why should I return? I am not a man of much curiosity. There was no rea son why 1 should connect a sudden alarm In the lobby of the Clermont with any cause of special interest to myself.” This was so true and the look which accompanied the words was so frank that the coroner hesitated a moment before he said: • Certainly not. unless—well, to be di rect. unless you bad just seen Miss Chal loner and knew her state of mind and w hat was likely to follow your abrupt departure." I had no interview with Miss Chal loner." “But you saw her? Saw her that even- Inc and just before the accident?” Sweetwater's papers rattled; it was the on ;y sound to be heard in that moment of silence. Then— • What do you mean by those words?" Inquired Mr. Brotherson. with studied composure. "1 have said that I had no interview with Miss Chailoner. Why do you ask me then if 1 saw her?” ■ Because 1 believe that you did. Krom a distance possibly, but yet directly and with no possibility of mistake.” ■•|>o you put that as a question?” "I do. Did you see her figure or face that night?” ”1 did." Nothing—not even the rattling of Sweetwater's papers—disturbed the si lence which followed this admission. • From where?” Dr. Heath asked at last. From a point far enough away to make any communication between us im possible. I do not think you will re quire me to recall the exact spot." “If it were one which made it possi ble for her to see you as clearly as you could see her, I think it would be very advisable for you to say so." "It was —such —a spot.” Then I think I can locate It for you, or de you prefer to locate it yourself?” "I will locate It myself, t had hoped not to be called upon to mention what 1 can not but consider a most unfortu nate coincidence. As a gentleman, you will understand my reticence and also why it is a matter of regret to me that with an acumen worthy of your position you should have discovered a fact which, while it can not explain Miss Challoner's death, will drag our little affair before the public. and possibly give it a prominence in some minds which I am sure does not belong io It. I met Miss Challoner’s eye for one instant from the top of the little staircase running up to the mezzanine. I had yielded thus far to an impulse I had frequently combated, to seek by another Interview to retrieve the bad effect which must have been made upon her by my angiy note. I knew' that she frequently wrote letters in the mezzanine at this hour, and got as far as the top of the staircase in my effort to join her. But 1 got no farther. When I saw her on her feet with her face turned my way, I re membered the scorn with which she had received my former heartfelt proposals, and. without taking another step for ward, 1 turned away from her and fled down the steps and so out of the build ing by the main entrance. She saw me, for her hand flew up with a startled ges ture but I can not think that my pres ence on the same floor with her could have caused her to strike the blow which 'errnfnated her life. Why' should I? No “oman sacrifices her life out of mere re vret for the disdain she has shown a man “he has taken no pains to understand.” His tone and his attitude seemed to Invite the concurrence of Dr. Heath In tbte statement. But the richness of the one and the grace of the other showed r he handsome speaker off to such advan tage that the coroner was rather in dined to consider how a woman, even of A Shampoo for Blondes tarriaprating Tfeeoeh Afcaspoo 1 ot TZ.* *»**•*« roMp* Hwm l» universally MfAmr or MoreMor-A rfr , MMB.

Ph ?p? 4945 Miss Challoner's fine taste and careful breeoing. might see in such a situation much for regret, if not for active despair and the suicidal act. He gave no evi dence of this thought, however, but fol lowed up the one admission made by Mr. Brotherson which he and others must naturally' view as of the first importance. You saw Miss Chailoner lift her hand, you say. W hlch hand, and what was in it? Anything?" "She lifted her right hand, but it would be impossible for me to tell you whether there was anything in it or ryt. 1 simply saw the movement before I turned away. It looked like one of alarm to me. I felt that she had some reason for this. She could not know that it was in repentance I came rather than in fulfilment of tny threat.” A sigh from- the adjoining room. Mr. Brotherson rose, as he heard it. and in doing so met the clear eye of Sweetwater fixed upon his own. Its language was. no doubt, peculiar and it seemed to fasci nate him for a moment, for he started as if to approach the detective, but for sook this intention almost immediately, and addressing the coroner, gravely re marked : “Her death following so quickly upon this abortive attempt of mine at an inter view startled me by its coincidence as much as it does you. If in the weakness of her woman’s nature, it was more than this if the scorn she had previously shown me was a cloak she instinctively assumed to hide what she was not ready to disclose, my remorse wil be as great as any one here could wish. But the proof of all this will have to be very con vincing before my present convictions will yield to it. Some other and more poignant source will have to be found for that instant's Impulsive act than is sup plied by this story of my unfortunate at tachment." Dr. Heath was convinced, but he was willing to concede something to the secret demand made upon him by Sweetwater, who was bundling up his papers with much clatter. Looking up with a smile which had ele ments in it he was hardly' conscious of perhaps himself, he asked in an off-hand way: "Then why did you take such pains to wash your hands of the affair the moment you had left the hotel?” "I do not understand.” ' "You passed around the corner into street, did you not?" "Very likely. I could go that way as well as another.” "And you stopped at the first lamp post ?’ ’ "Oh, 1 see. Someone saw that childish action of mine.” “What did you mean by it?” "Just what you have suggested. 1 did go through the pantomime of washing my’ hands of an affair I considered definitely ended. I had resisted "epresslble impulse to see and talk with ..Uss Chal loryer again, and was pleased with my' firmness. Unaware of the tragic blow which had just fallen, 1 was full of self congratulations at my escape from the charm which had lured me back to this hotel again and again in spite of my bet ter judgment, and 1 wished to symbolize my' relief by an act of which 1 was, in another moment, ashamed. Strange that there should have been a witness to it. I Here he stole al look at Sweetwater.) Stranger still, that circumstances by the most extraordinary of coincidences, should have given so unforeseen a point to it.” "You are right. Mr. Brotherson. The whole occurrence is startling and most strange But life is made up of the un expected, as none know better than we physicians, whether our practice be of a public or private character.” As Mr. Brotherson left the room, the curiousity to which he had yielded once before, led him to cast a glance of pene trating inquiry behind him full at Sweet water. and if either felt ambarrassment, it was not the hunted but the hunter. But the feeling did not last. "I've simply met the strongest man I’ve ever encountered,” was Sweetwater's encouraging comment to himself. "Ail the more glory if I can find a joint in his armour or a hidden passage to his cold, secretive heart.” Alike In Essentials. "Mr. Gryce, I am either a fool or the luckiest fellow going You must decide which.” The aged detective, thus addressed, laid down his evening paper and endeavored to make out the dim form he could just faintly discern standing between him and the library door. "Sweetwater, is that you?" "No one else. Sweetwater, the fool, or Sweetwater, much too wise for his own good. I don't know which. Perhaps you can find out and tell me.” A grunt from the region of the library table, then the sarcastic remark; "I’m just In the mood to settle that question. This last failure to my account ought to make me an excellent judge of another's folly. I’ve meddled with the old business for the last time. Sweetwa ter. You'll have to go it alone from now on. The department has no more work for Ebenezer Gryce, or rather Ebenezer Gryce will make no more fool attempts to please them. Strange that a man don't know when his time has come to quit.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Beauty Secrets of Foot light Favorites Hoiv to Adapt Vegetarianism to Your Needs By MARIE BAXTTER. ONLY once in my life did I make an attempt at "beauty culture”— beyond the ordinary care that every vain girl bestows upon herself. Don't challenge that adjective—every girl is vain, or ought to be. It's vanity that makes the feminine world go round, until love comes upon the scene. I was spending the summer in one of those delightful places w here the high ei thought cults abound and almost every person belongs to a different kind of a religion and dotes upon a special sort of "ism." I was the youngest per son at the resort and naturally was made much of by the older people, who expected me to become devotee of their espeoial fads. The Vegetarian Cult. - One beautiful old lady made a great impression upon me and finally won me over to her "ism" by telling me that it would make me a raving beauty and give me a long life. She was a vegetarian and I became one, too. but in the country; In the pure, invigorating air. bread and milk, vegetables and fruit formed my diet, and I never was so well in my 'ife. My complexion was perfect. I say that truthfully and without exaggeration. IMy eyes were bright and the white part of the eye clear and a little blue ish. like that of a healthy child. "Vegetarianism" wa.-> my answer to those who asked how I had accom plished this change in my appearance, and I preached the gospel of a meat less diet with as much enthusiasm as any of the others. 1 returned to tow n in September and began rehearsing. ' My new fad rather upset the house hold. for there were so many things I would not eat —no soup, no meat or fish, no dish with meat sauce, and often i I felt hungry after eating what I could of the family dinner. My rosy cheeks soon vanished and purple shadows came under my eyes. My voice also seemed to lose resonance. I had a good deal of dancing to do in the new play, and at rehearsals I grew tired before the others. One day. seeing me stumble over a new Seep, the stage manager snarled at me and I broke into tears. He was a kind-hearted man. They often are despite their manner. "What's the matter, little girl?” he asked. "Oh. my feet are like lead, and the Do You Know— The best laid plans of the most up to-date postoffices "gang aft agley.” but the record in tardy delivery of a missive belongs to the Turkish post office. The time taken was 73 years, the distance being from Mount Athos to Corfu. In July, 1834, the archiman drite of a convent wrote to a lady in the island announcing the departure of a begging mission.

The magnificent fabric cost J 1.000,000, and is guarded in the maharajah's treasure room. Flats in which the birth of a baby frees the tenant from the payment of rent for the quarter following are the latest experiment in workmen's hous ing in Paris, where the difficult' of lodging workmen with large families stands in close relation to the vital question of the depopulation of France.

Despondent Women Os course a woman will naturally see the dark side of everything when tortured by some form of female dis ease from which she can not find re lief.
