TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
Could it be? Was It he who was dream
n(lW, or was the event of the night a
mere farce of his own imagining? Mr.
Brotherson was whistling in his room,
rail’ and with ever Increasing verve, and

William Tell which had seemed to work
t ich magic in the night. As Sweetwater

Bounding from those lips of brass, he
dragged forth the music box he held hid

the floor stamped upon It.
■•The man is too strong for me," he
crle d "His heart Is granite; he meets
mv every move. What am I to do now?"
The Danger Moment.
For a day Sweetwater acknowledged
himself to be mentally crushed, dislllu
.inn’ed and defeated. Then his spirits re
gained their poise. It would take a heavy
weight indeed to keep them down per
manently.
His opinion was not changed In re
gard to his neighbor's secret giillt. A
demeanor of this sort suggested bravado
rather than bravery to the ever-suspiclous
detective But he saw. very plainly by
this time, that he would have to employ
more subtle methods yet ere his band
would touch the goal which so tantallz-
Inglv eluded him.
His work at the bench suffered that
wee k; he made two mistakes. But by
Saturday night he had satisfied himself
that he had reached the point where he
would be justified in making use of Miss
Challoner's letters. So he telephoned his
wishes to New York, and awaited the
premised developments with an anxiety

much greater were his chances of fail

her part with all the skill of artist and

them? He did not think so. 'Women
possess a marvelous adaptability for this
kind of work, and this one was French,
which made the case still more hopeful.
But Brotherson! In what spirit would
he meet the proposed advances? Would
he even admit the girl, and, if he did,
would the Interview bear any such fruit
as Sweetwater hoped for? The man who
could mock the terrors of the night by
a careless repetition of a strain instinct
with the most sacred memories, was not

But no other hope remained, and Sweet -

Arty Drudge Dries Miss Pretty
girl’s Tears.
Arty Drudge— “ Why, what’s the matter, dear? What
are you crying about?”
Afiss Prettygirl—“Oh, my beautiful new waist is ruined
and it just makes me sick. That clumsy Will John
son upset a plate of refreshments on it last night at
the party, and spoiled all my fun.”
Arty Drudge— “ And his, too, I’ll warrant. But dry your
eyes, dear. It was all an accident, no doubt, but you
feel so badly that you have to blame someone. Now
if you had only known of Fels-Naptha you could-have
passed it off as a joke, enjoyed yourself and spared
Will an uncomfortable time.”
■
There’s a right way and a wrong way
to do everything.
And there is a new way and an old
way to do almost everything.
The new way to wash clothes is the
1 els-Naptha way —in cool or lukewarm
water, no boiling, either in winter or sum
mer, and little rubbing.
And the Fels-Naptha is the right way
as well —saves time, saves the back, saves
hiel, and the wash comes out cleaner,
sweeter, whiter.
It is up to you to choose between the
new and the old, the right and the wrong
way of doing your washing.
Simple directions for washing and
other household cleaning are printed on
the inside of the red and green wrapper.
Brotherson s being at home. Nothing
would have lured Sweetwater out for a
moment, though he had no reason to ex
pect that the affair he was anticipating
would come off till early evening
But it did. i.are in the afternoon he
heard the expected steps go by his door—
a womans step But they were not
alone A man's accompanied them
What man? Sweetwater hastened to
satisfy himself ott this point by laying
his ear to the partition
Instantly the whole conversation be
came audible.
An errand? Oh. yes. I have an errand!"
explained the evidently unwelcome in
truder, In her broken English. "This is
my brother Pierre. My name is Celeste
Ledru. 1 understand English ver well.
I have worked much in families. But he
understands nothing He is all French.
He accompanies me for—for the- what
you call it? les convenances. He knows
nothing of the beesiness."
Sweetwater in the darkness of his clos
et laughed in his gleeful appreciation.
"Great"' was his comment. "Just great'
She has thought of everything -or Mr.
Grjce has.”
Meanwhile, the girl was proceeding with
increased volubility.
What is this beesiness. monsieur? I
have something to sell—-so you Americans
speak. Something you will want much
ver' sacred, ver' precious. A souvenir
from the tomb, monsieur Wllu you give
ten—no, that is too leetle—fifteen dollars
for it? it is worth—Oh, more, much
more to the true lover Pierre, tu es
bete. Tlena-tu droit sue ta chaise. M.
Brotherson est un monsieur comme II
faut."
this adjuration, uttered in sharp repri
mand and with but little of the French
grace, may’ or may not have been under
stood by the unsympathetic man they
were meant to impress. But the name
which accompanied them—his own name,
never heard but once before in this
house, undoubtedly caused the silence
whiclt almost reached the point of em
barrassment. before he broke it witlt tlie
harsh remark:
"Your French may be good, but it does
not go with me Yet it is more intelligi
ble than your English. What do you
want here? What have you in that bag
you wish to open; and what do you mean
by the sentimenial trash with which vou
offer it?”
"Alt. monsieur has not memory of
me.' came in the sweetest tones of a
really seductive voice. "Yon astonish
me. monsieur. 1 thought vou knew -
everybody else does—Oh. tout le monde,
monsieur, that I was Miss Challoner's
maid—near her when other people were
not—near her the very day she died. "
A pause; then an angry exclamation
from some one. Sweetwater thought
from tiie brother, who may have misin
terpreted some look or gesture on Broth
ersei - part. Brotherson himself would
n, • '.. ont )o show surprise In anv such
noisy way.

New Dances to Succeed the Turkey Trot
THERE is a difference between the
dances of last year and those
which will be popular this com
ing season.
Last year to dance well you had only
to imitate some one else.
This year, to be a successful dancer
in the drawing room as on the stage,
you must have imagination and origi
nality.
As far as the stage goes, the turkey
trot and similar dances are a thing of
the past, and nothing is so completely
dead as a thing that is passed in tne
theatrical world.
The dances which we do could be
transported to the drawing room with
out any difficulty at all. There is noth
ing suggestive about them, and. except
in a few cases, the acrobatic features
could be eliminated without detracting
from the dance.
My first dance, and I speak as the
elder sister, being fifteen minutes older
than Rose. Is a dance of flirtation and
coquetry; almost any good dancer could
arrange it by simplifying it a little and
make a very pretty drawing room dance
of it.
It is danced to waltz time and thb

two partners, while keeping in perfect
rhythm, do not clasp hands until the
very end of the dance.
Now, when two amateurs start out to
do a dance of this sort, they ought to
think up a good little story, or a series
of incidents which they could drama
tize while dancing.
The story must be cut up in different
sections or incidents and each incident
must be fitted to a certain number of
bars of music. We are using the beau
tiful Strauss waltzes and other Strauss
numbers, which can be had at any mu
sic store, and are in most of the albums
of dance music.

Advice to the

YOUR MOTHER IS UNREASONABLE
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man 24 years old.
and am engaged to a young lady of
sixteen. We were to have been
married in May and she had all her
wedding trousseau ready. Iler par
ents are willing, but my mother ob
jects strenuously. 1 can not tell
why she dislikes it so much, as the
girl is of a good family and very
pretty, with a real good education.
My mother suffers Intensely with
her heart and 1 fear if I marry so
much against her wishes, it will kii!
her. E. K.
if your mother had objections to the
girl, it would be your duty to consider
them, but I gather her objections are
based on the fear of losing you. This
maternal selfishness is deplorable, and
not uncommon. If reasoning and pa
tience and coaxing fail to win her over,
marry without her consent. You owe ii
to the girl.
THE MAN WAS RIGHT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young girl seventeen years
old and love a boy two years my
senior. I see him every day, but
have not yet received an introduc
tion. The manner in which he act
ed, it seemed as if he cared for me
also, but at a ball I saw him. but
he did not come over to ask me to
dance with him. I do not know
what this means, because I dearly
love him. HEARTBROKEN.
It means the man respects you so
much he deems an introduction neces
sary before asking you to dance wftii
him.
Don't expect or accept any attentions
f om him till you have been introduced.
By THE DOLLY SISTERS.
cians alone, your coquetry dance begins,
the man and girl ente.ring from differ
ent sides of the stage.
I am going to outline a simplifieo
version of our dance, which could be
followed out by two ordinary good
dancers.
The main thing to remember is that
yon must be absolutely certain of your
incidents and the action that is to go
with them and exactly how long each
one is going to take.
Musical introduction.
Entrance to waltz step from opposite
side of the room, eight bars.
Meeting in the center of stage or
room with cutt'sy on the part of the
girl, salutation on the part of the ma.i.
eight bars.
Waltzing promenade side by side,
both looking at each other, the girl
coquetting with the man, and he flitting
with her
He endeavors to catch her and she
leads him on. always managing to es
cape before he comes up to her. This
could be made very pretty in a drawing
room or ball room, by waltzing around
different objects at the sides of the
room, such as chairs, pedestals, etc.
The way It is done depends entirely
upon the amount of space arid dramatic
talent, as well as the grace and ability
of the dancers. Gestures and facial ex
pression must suggest a violent flirta
tion.
The chase becomes wilder and wild
er. the dancers waltzing and turning,
with arms extended and swaying.
The man catches up with the girl,
puts his arm around her and tries to
kiss her; site bends back and puts her
hand before her face.
She escapes again, and the same
thing is repeated. This time, after the
unsuccessful kiss, they waltz together
for eight bars; she, however, does not
hold him as in the ordinary waltz, but

The end of the dance can be either a
fast waltz together, or the girl once
more escaping from the man, and
waltzing quickly away from him.
A very pretty step is one called
"skating.” which must be done to two
four time instead of to the waltz meas
ure; a long glissade or skating step is
taken with the right foot, both part
ners facing in the same direction.
There is a momentary balance with
the left foot up, a slight hop with the
right up, and the two-step is resumed,
with the next glissade on the left foot.

Daysey Mayme never stands in line.
Stepping ahead of all the women pres
ent. she said in the loud and lofty tones
of those to whom the high cost of liv
ing means nothing:
“Send me up two cheap little eteaks.
Oh, about $3 each, if you have them. I
guefcs that kind will do.”
The butcher's eyes glistened at such
an order, and the other women who
had been grumbling because soup bones
had advanced from nine cents to eleven
cents, stared in amaze.
Having made the desired impression.
Daysey Mayme followed the butcher to
the back of the store, presumably to
see what he was going to cut off.
When they were out of earshot of the
others she said in a whisper: "I have
changed my mind about the steak.
Please send up five cents worth of
liver.”
Then, with her nose held so high she
had to stand on tip-toe to powder it,
she walked out.
