Nothing in the eager but painstaking inventor showed a distracted mind or a heavily-burdened soul. In deed, he was so calm in all his ways, so precise and so selfcontained, that Sweet water often wondered what had become of the firery agitator and eloquent propa gandist of new and startling doctrines Then, he thought he understood the riddle The model was reaching its com pletion. and Brntherson’s extreme interest In it and the confidence h** had in its puc cese swallowed up all lesser emotions Were the invention to prove a failure but then* was small hope of this.

This was not usual with him Nor did he often indulge himself in playing on the piano as he did tonight, beginning with a few heavenly strains and ending with a bang that made the keyboard jump, Certainly something was amiss In the quarter where peace had hitherto reigned undisturbed Had th<* depths begun to heave, or were phys ical < a uses alone responsible for these unwonted ebullitions of feeling? The question was immaterial Either would form an excellent preparation for the coup planned by Sweetwater; and when, after another hour of uncertainty, perfect silence greeted him from his neighbors room, hope had soared again "p exultant wing, far above all former discouragements Mr. Brotherson’s bed was in a remote corner from the loophole made by Sweet* wyter; but in the stillness now pervading the whole building, the latter could hear his even breathing very distinctly. He was in a deep sleep. The young detective's moment had come. Taking from his breast a small box, he l'la< erl it on a shelf close against the par tition. An instant of quiet listening, then io touched a spring in the side of the box and laid his ear. in haste, to his loophole. A strain of well known music broke softly from the box and sent its vibra tions through the wall.

ONE of the gills in the dressing room stood before the mirror fix ing her hair, and exclaimed, in an irritated voice: "My hair Is nervous.’' "You mean it makes you nervous,’’ returned one of the other girls. “Or perhaps," she added, with a very af fected drawl "you've just shampooed it and can’t do anything with it." "No; 1 mean what I say,” said the first foodight favorite, and she gav< her hair such a yank with the curling iron that I thought she would pull it all out. "'lt's nervous and won't be have. I don't know what gets into it. but it seems to me that hair has got a disposition of its own, and. generally, a very bad disposition." I think she was about right, though I didn’t tell her so, because when you are dressing for a performance and are in a hurry, you haven't time to agree with people, but I have thought about it since, and I believe that hair is very tempera mental. I'm sure that the only temperament lots of actresses have is in their hair, just is it is their only beauty. Many a day you won’t be able to do anything with such tresses as nature has adorned you with, and that is why the hair dressers continue to survive, and why thc» human hair store is so ' widely advertised. But generally, i when your hair won't stay put. or re : main in curl, or look nice, it s because I it’s either too clean or not clean enough. Brushing and Tonic. I know 'an artist —she used to be a great singer—and she is now about 60 years old. and she hasn't washed her hair for 16 years. Oh. 1 can see you shiver with disgust! But I will wager that her scalp and hair are in better condition than the girl who has a week ly shampoo. This woman ha« her hair brushed for half an hour every evening and twice a week the scalp Is stimulat ed with a quinine tonic. A small sau cer full of«tonie Is used and applied Io the scalp by a brush about tlie size of a tooth brush, but before this is rubbed in tlie entire head Is cleansed with alcohol. The hair Is parted and tlie alcohol is rubbed on to the scalp and into the roots of the hair with a soft flannel cloth. It is a very simple process, and excellent to make the hair grow. Os course, my elderly friend never misses this treatment, and as is very sys tematic and methodical, I suppose she hasn’t skipped once in years. Her hair. Is very long and thick; it is now almost white, but it Is In such good condition and so plentiful that it represents more youth and vigor than that of an ordinary girl of 20. It can be easily arranged and the natural wave is not taken out of it by hot curling irons. It does not get nervous or gfow wiry and stiff, for hair that is well taken care of and frequently brushed doesn't do tills. The Use of (ML Once in two weeks my friend’s long hair is cleansed with a dry shampoo made of corn starch This is brushed into tlie hair and then brushed out again, but it is not allowed to touch the scalp. In cold weather where the quinine tonic Is a little too drying, oil Is spray ed onto the hair; an atomizer Is used for this and part perfume and part sweet oil are mixed together.

Most people’s hair is half dead— , that’s why it is so hard to arrange. There is no use keeping any of this dead hair, and as it is generally the i ends that are in this condition they can be clipped off. or or should be : singed off This isn’t very hard to do, • but you will have to get some one I else to do it for you. If the hair is split at the end, and ’ won’t curl or lie smooth, it is time to 1 singe it. First brush it very carefully, part it in the middle and divide each ‘ side of the hair in sections. Take one section of the hair, twist it tightly, and when it is almost as firm as a piece i of rope brush it up with the hand, rub t bing from the end to the roots. This i will make the rough ends bristle Get i a lighted taper and have some one who I has a steady hand and some common sense singe these ends off quickly. Re t member not to burn them; simply singe ‘ them. , ’ If you prefer to clip the hair, twist the strands in the same way. rough up the ends and then clip them. Hair that has been bleached or dyed ’ needs to be clipped and clipped once a ’ month anyhow to restore it. t Suiting the Face. i The girl who can wear her hair per fectly plain is certainly lucky, for there “ is nothing prettier: but when the hair is worn this way it must be in good I condition. It must lie flat and smooth, t and must not be the kind that blows - away or becomes mttssy looking.

Very few girls, however, can stand wearing their hair parted in the middle and combed straight down over the side, covering the ears. This makes the forehead an inverted "V;” if the chin is long and looks like a "V” anyhow, you get an elongated, peeked-loowing face. When the features are heavy, it is certainly foolish to wear a lot of hair around the face, and it’s much better to have a few very light curls over the forehead, and to leave most of it bare. If you belong to the roly-poly type, wear your hair up high, and don’t wear rats or pads. Unfortunately, people can not see themselves as others see them, or the girl with the big nose would never think of wearing a psyche knot right In the middle of the back of her head, which makes her look like a pitcher with two handles. if you are wearing any false hair at all. be sure to keep it clean. The rea son that false hair Is so easily detected is that people neglect to wash their artificial tresses, when they are cleans ing the real ones. The good quality of false hair, pro vided it hasn’t been dyed or bleached, can be washed in lukewarm water without harming it. But the hair dresser tells me it is really better al ways to use gasoline for cleaning false hair and curls, and never dry your hair over the steam, neither your false locks nor your own. Steam heat takes all the life out of the hair, and makes it impossible to arrange. These steam dried locks are the ones that get nervous, and make you so. handles are of fine workmanship, and generally of gold or silver.
