4 i The Manicure “1 Should Worry” ^ •* a! By NELL BRINKLEY Copyright, 1013, by International New. Service. By WILLIAM F. KIRK (j |SEE In thn papers that the I i : Wales got a call- down from King George for In dorsing a note and getting stung for $”,f,00." raid the Head Barber. ■‘That's nothing," said the Manicure Lady, "Lots of Princes has got stung for indorsing notes, and they wasn t all Princes of royal blood, either. I seen that same piece In the paper, but It was quite a while ago. Gee, George, I'll bet he felt awful when the King of England bawled him out. A King's anger must be terrible to behold. That's what the historical novels tells, anyhow." “I don't see how a King can be any madder at his son for monkeying with indorsed notes than any dad is with his boy,” said the Head Barber. “A man can only get about so mad with out getting apoplexy. A King can't call you down no harder than Poddy the Pig. There is only so many words in the English language, and a rough neck can say them as loud and as often as a King.” No King Madder. "Yes, there is a good deal in that,” agreed the Manicure Lady. You re member when I lost my purse last week, George. I "as just as mad as a human being could be when 1 seen I had lost it. No Kmg could have been madder. 1 could have bit the bead off anybody that said I mis placed it, until I tound it and knew I had been careless. Oh. well, what is money, anyhow 7 Why should the King of England be sore at his son? Tin kid’s grandfather was the same sort of a sport. He was more than a King, George, that Edward man. He was a regular guy. He knew more about the value of money than peo ple thinks he did. He knew so much about the value of money that he knew it didn’t have no great value ai ail. He had friends that was rich and friends that was poor, and he vfould .“tick to a friend that was poor just as surely as lie would walk away from a pest that was rich. "Wilfred says that he would have did the same as the young Prince ot Wales did, only it wouldn't do the poor kid no good to Indorse n $2,500 note. It makes on awful difference whose name is on the back of a piece of paper, George. It ain't the color of the Ink or the penmanship or the pen it was wrote with. But 1 didn’t have the heart to tell Wilfred that he would never be able to indorse a note, and J guess he don’t care much for what little money he ever made, ex cept to be happy with it. He wrote a poem yesterday and sent it to a mag azine, and this is the copy of it: “ */ (h> not cart for boundless wealth (h anything it brings to tne, Just so long an I hare nig good health l nd every songbird sings to me. 'J he richest brewer in the land Is only rich m gold and silver, And I. icho hare friends on every hand Their love all gold I would not kill for: People Made Happier. "Wilfred said that he knew 'silver' and kill for’ was a hum rhyme, but he explained to me that there wasn't no real rhyme for ‘silver,’ and I sup pose the magazine editor will let It g«. at that. Anyhow, them sentiments of his is about the same as mine, I don't know how much money Edward the Seventh had when he died, and I don’t care, but there Is a lot of peo ple in the world that was made hap pier when he was here, and he will be talked about as a regular man just as long as he is talked about as a good King. I am afraid Ills son ain’t much like him, with all his court doings and pomp, but I am glad tc know his grandson Is a human being ' "Here, too,” said the Head Barber *‘I wish somebody would indorse a note for me.

T HE great need of every home, ac cording to the princess in it, is some means w hereby the earn ing capacity of father could be dou ble!. Daysey Mayme Appleton Is a prin cess, and, like all princesses, she lets her subjects do the worrying. If things cost more, then father should earn more, and after carefully dust ing a place’on the carpet where usr mother could have her daily fit on returning from market and finding- further advances in prices, she felt that she had done her full duty. All her life she had had to curl ono hair to make it do the work of two, and the experience had made her an economist. She felt the other day that she owed herself some great joy, and realized that the securing of It must not prove a drain on her pocket. So she put on her split skirt with out a curtain underneath, proving that she applied economic principles in the smallest detail of her attire, and left the house. Her destination wa* away down town, and it was plain from the ox- terior of tie little one-story building * she entered that her errand was neither for ribbons nor chocolates. Passing into an anteroom, she was detained for five minutes till an at tendant gave word that she would be received. Dark red curtains hung between the doors connecting the rooms, and at the sound of a silvery- tinkling bell Daysey Mayme parted the curtains and entered. . Twenty minutes later she emerged, * her cheeks pink with excitement, and her eyes glowing with happiness "There is nothing in this talk of the high cost of everything!” she said, exultingly, at dinner that night. "I went downtown this afternoon and bought three lovers, two hus bands. five beautiful children, a Jour ney across the water, another across the land, two dark complected friends, four rivals, one enemy, who will try to injure me, but who will be van quished, and a noble millionaire, who will die soon and leave me his vast estates—all for Ten Cents!” She had her fortune told! 7CY beaux are many!

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS By ANNA KATHARINE J^REEN One of the Greatest Mystery Stories Ever Written (Copyright, 1913. by Anna Katharine Green.) TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. "I see; I see; and you have failed also to follow the trail of the doctor’s wan derings*" "He left none; the only man w’ho can tell 'us anything ubout his movements at that time persists in denying all knowledge of them." "Is there a Mr. Monroe, of Seventy- second street?" "Yes, and he did receive a prescrip tion that night by the hand of Dr. Moles worth’s colored driver. But it was not as important a one as the doctor would make out. He would not have suffered If he had not received it till the next day." "Then you wish the inquest to be held immediately?" "Aa soon as your convenience will permit.” "Well, well, we will have the in- quest.” Then, as Mr. Grvre rose to go, j llow ubout that spot of paint, Gryce? No clew in that, either?" Mr. Gryce sat down again. "There ought to be," he acknowledged. "There is a mark on.the lining of the phaeton, nut it ia very slight, while that on her dress is very distinct, showing that the paint came off from h*r dress upon the phaeton. She had consequently been leaning against a freshly painted sur face somewhere, and as the paint was of a pecuUar shade, l thought I should be able to trace It. But" he shook his head—"like all the rest it proved a blind trail." He was going for the second time when the Coroner stopped him. "Have you thought that If Dr Moles worth’s story is true and he lifted the dying girl from a stoop into his phae ton he would naturally have a smudge of paint on his sleeve?" "Don’t humiliate me! It is there!" | The Inquest. The next day the Inquest was held, and the proceedings were voluminously published Witnesses from all quar ters were examined and the matter was relentlessly sifted But no more was elicited from the various parties on oath than they had been willing to vol unteer at the solicitations of the detec tive: nor. though the utmost discretion was disp!a>ed in the examination of the doctor, could hie testimony be shaken or iu* assertion* disproved. Some of his answers merit record ing To the question as to when and where he became engaged to Miss Far ley. he replied, with great dignity, but with no apparent reserve: "Miss Farley never paid she would marry me until the morning of the day she died. Then I received a letter from her saying that she would marry me that day at the C Hotel. I had re ceived manifestations of affection from her before, but never any promise." "You had professed attachment for her, then, some time previous to this event ?” "I first offered myself to her beside her mother's deathbed." There was feeling in his voice and there whs reserve, and the result upon the tninds of those present was some thing like awe. No one blamed the Coroner for the respect with which he next inquired whether the letter re ceived from Miss Farley was still in Dr. Molesworth’s possession. "It is not." was the reply. "I inva riably destroyed every line I received from her. It is a custom of mine to preserve no letters." "Then you were but following out your usual habit when you burned the note which Miss Farley left behind her at th* hotel?" "If I may say so, yes." "You have no objection to telling us what the note contained.” "None whatever if I could. But It was a string of unmeaning phrdses of which only one sentence was clear.” "And that was?" “ ‘I want my friends about me; It Isn’t respectable.’ Yet she wrp the one who proposed the marriage," volun teered the doctor, "and at the inter view we had in the afternoon no de mur was made by her. either as re garded the wedding itself or the man ner In which I proposed to have it con ducted." "Will you give us the details of that interview?" "As nearly as I can. sir. It was such a one as you would expect from a deli cate-minded woman who had taken a very important step and was not quite sure how it would be received by her lover. At first she seemed only anx ious to It am how 1 felt ubout the mat ter. and when l could not truthful*) say she had chosen a very auspicious time for ctir nuptials sjie burst into tears and then become ** feverish and incoherent I saw she was not well, and at once began to comfort her. She thereupon grew calmer and listened with attention while I told her of the arrangements which had suggested themselves to me, not making, as 1 have said, any objection to them either then or at any time before I left.” "And what was the manner of your parting?" "It was affectionate on my part, but I am free to say there was some con straint on hers. With all my efforts to the contrary I had wounded her suscep tibilities, sharpened as they were by in cipient illness, and she was too much of a woman not to show it. But I never expected more than a little unpleasant ness and was as much shocked as any body when 1 returned and found her gone." "One more question in this connection, Dr. Molesworth. The clerk testifies that the hour you set for your wedding w'as nine, yet you came back with the cler gyman as early as a quarter after eight. How was that? "I was anxious, sir. The more I thought of it the more 1 was convinced that Miss Farley was on the point of a serious illness. 1 went early on her ac count. All Satisfactory. This was all very satisfactory, too sat isfactory for Mr. Gryce. Telegraphing by a gesture to the Coroner that he had a suggestion to make, he sent him a line or two written on the back of a reporters notebook, which upon reading the Coroner remarked to the witness: "You were alone with Miss Farley in room 153 of the C Hotel when this Interview occurred of which you speak "Most certainly, sir." "A room containing an alcove shut off by curtains?" "I believe there were curtains there, but I did not look to see what they shut ofT." "How then do you know that you tw’o were alone?" $6 WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH AUG. 23 Round trip, six days. Special trams, sleepers and coaches leave 6pm Make reservations early. SEABOARD. It was but a lightning's flash, that look of irrepressible shock and dismay which crossed Dr. Molesworth’s face at this Intimation. But the Coroner saw it as Mr. Gryce had seen It on a former Important occasion, and he felt as the detective had felt then, that It out weighed all the witness' words and his most plausible explanations. "I took it for granted we were,’’ he w r as saying the next moment in his most even tones. "If you have a witness to the contrary, let her be produced; she may assist me in remembering Just what did pass between Miss Farley and my self." It was a bold stroke and it succeeded. They had no witness and he soon saw it, and the color which had slightly left his lips came back and his bear ing became almost disdainful. The Coroner, who w r as still following Mr. Gryce’s suggestions, regarded him with unabated respect. "You say her," he smiled. "Why not him?" "Because no man would stoop to lis ten." "Dr. Molesworth, during your ac quaintance with Miss Farley have you ever had reason to suppose she was re ceiving addresses from smy other gen tleman than yourself?" It was an unexpected attack and the doctor paused a moment before reply ing. Then he answered distinctly: "No." This closed the proceedings of the lay and Dr. Molesworth’s testimony. Clear, precise, and plausible had been all his replies, and had it not been for a nameless something, hard to describe, he would have gained credit from the offi cers foho conducted his examination, as well as from the public who listened to It.
