(Continued) "Tried to catch the spirit kettle when the—table tilted and the blazing alcohol ran up my sleeve!*’ He groaned in spite of himself and, seizing a serviette, he wrapped it about his injured arm. "Don’t putter about with that stuff like an ass!” “Very good, sir.” When this was accomplished Miles sought Scottie and found the latter chuckling to himself. “What's the joke? Did you see Miss Hawks armed for conquest?” “I did not!” Scottie still smiled broadly. "I'm thinking of the march the young people have stolen on their families. Dick brought the girl back as he promised but she’s not Miss Patricia’ any more; they bundled old Higgs on the running board and made for the minister’s house before they left Freedale and it is young Mrs. Kemp who has come home.” “I’m glad of it,” Miles said after a pause. “There comes Roger Drake up the drive from the gate,” he continued. “He’s a sick man and no mistake!” The scientist was walking more steadily than when he had left the house but slowly, and he paused every few steps to rest. “Excuse me, sir, but may I help you?” Miles asked as he hurried forward. “I saw you coming and I thought that you might perhaps feel a little weak still.” Miles became aware of the extreme inward agitation of the man. Roger leaned his weight heavily upon the younger man, who could feel the thin fingers closing about his elbow like hands of steel. The scientist summoned his remaining strength to negotiate the steps of the veranda and Hobart Drake himself opened the front door. “What is this?” he exclaimed as he hastened to support his brother on the other side. “Hobart!” With unexpected vigor the weak man thrust them aside with a sweeping gesture of his long arms and stood erect. “Hobart, T have found out who it is? I know —I know the —the nemesis—!” His voice had thickened oddly and the last word ended in a choking cry as he wavered and then suddenly pitched forward on his face. Miss Drake's startled exclamation from the staircase was lost in Hobart’s sharp command: “Don’t try to lift him. William: turn him over—great heavens! He has had a stroke!” The body turned rigidly beneath their hands and Roger Drake lay staring widely up at the ceiling, the left side of his face twisted into a hideously grotesque mask, the arm crooked and leg drawn up in a manner there could be no mistaking. Miss Drake swept down to kneel beside him, but Andrew brushed her roughly aside and descended in reckless leaps. "Is it paralysis. Hobart? Shall T 'phone the doctor? Can he speak?” His ruddy face had paled and his voice was grave and shaken. "The doctor, by all means, as quickly as you .can get him here!” Hobart responded. For an hour all was excitement while the stricken man was carried to his room and placed in bed. Carter admitted the physiican and the detective was able to catch snatches of his phrases. ” —in these cases, nothing—Possibly in a day or so, possibly in ten, unless, of course, another stroke—only absolute quiet and—look in again tonight.” Hobart had established himself as nurse and although Miss Drake demurred. she was for once overruled and only permitted to take his place while her brother descended to snatch a hasty bite in the dining room. Miles hovered about in the hall just outside the sick room, beset with the question which haunted his mind. While he pondered. Miss Drake appeared suddenly in the doorway and seeing him, beckoned . “William, I must go downstairs for a moment. Will you come in and sit beside Mr. Roger?” Secretly thanking his lucky stars that he had been at hand. Miles entered and seated himself beside the still form outstretched upon the bed. The instant Miss Drake’s footsteps had died away the detective bent forward: “Mr. Roger!” He spoke in a low, compelling tone. “I am here to help you. If you realize what I am saying close your right eye!” A wave of exultation swept over him. The eve-lid quivered and slowly, flutteringly. It closed! “Good!—Now, sir, I can’t take your message to your brother for you, the tWng you were about to tell him when you were overcome, but do you want to see him? Can he guess the name you were trying to speak?” Miles waited but the eye stared unhlinkingly, although a spreading moisture had come into it and the pupil seemed to enlarge and darken with the effort at expression. “Is there something you think I can do?” The eye closed, more quickly this time. “Do you want anything? Is it in this room?” The lid remained open but the eye itself moved toward the right as though striving to see through the blank wall beside which the bed had been placed. Beyond the wall was the locked door behind which lay the relics of the past in the impotent guardianship of the woman centuries dead. “You mean your storeroom, don’t you, sir? —You know that your belongings in here have been searched? —Do you know also that the lock of your storeroom has been tampered with?” Miles drew a deep breath for at each question the eye had winked rapidly and an eager glint had shot across its dulled expanse. “The room has been ransacked, sir. Did you know that?” The eye widened and into it came a look of such utter despair that Miles obeyed a sudden impulse. “I found anew key in the lock and the door swinging open. The only thing that hasn’t been touched is that long box that looks like a mummy case. It’s safe still. I can fix that

door so it can't be opened again by any one. Shall I do it, sir?” The eye winked spasmodically and rested on his arm for an instant while a single tear welled forth and rolled down the waxen cheek. CHAPTER XVI The next day was a busy one. As daybreak Miles presented himself at Miss Drake’s door with one side of his face convincingly swollen by means of an improvised cotton plumper which he had inserted inside his cheek. “It’s my tooth, ma'am,” he explained. “I just can’t stand it any longer and; the milkman will give me a lift to the station if you can spare me to run to town and see my dentist.” Permission was granted and he was soon rattling townward in the early train. On arrival he went straight to headuarters and then journeyed uptown to an actors’ agency, whose proprietor was an old acquaintance. “You ain’t givin' me much to go on. Owen,” he complained when the visitor's errand had been explained. “A firil-figgered blonde, you say, and youngish. Calls herself 'Maisie?’ I’ll do what I can for you." It was not a great distance from the theatrical district to the dignified Archaeological Museum where Miles

‘IN THESE CASES, NOTHING —’

found Professor Nigel Lorton. Spread before him on his desk was the spurious papyrus taken from the wrappings of the Peruvian mummy and which the detective had entrusted to Zorn to deliver on the previous day. “My dear Sergeant,” he began at last while the other waited expectactly. "This document is, as you assumed in your note, an imitation intexture and symbol of the ancient Egyptian, and whether it be a hoax or not, I confess that it is the most remarkable record it has yet been my privilege to examine.” “You found it easy to translate, sir?" Miles asked. "Fairly so. although the terms used were unfamiliar to me. I have made a transliteration for you also, and with your knowledge of the subject of which it treats you w.ll be able to determine if it is the hallucination of a disordered mind or the revelation of a brilliant if abnormal one.” It was well toward noon when the conference ended and Miles left the building with a feeling of exultation not unmixed with awe at the very enormity of the secret so fortuities usly disclosed. The theatrical producer had exerted himself to some purpose in the brief period allotted to him in which to locate the motion picture artist. Miss Maizie Gray, it happened, was pitying second leads with the Luxor Company. and would be delighted to meet the press representative, Mr. Owen Miles, at the Admiral for luncheon. Maizie was prompt to keep the appointment, but her professional smile changed to one of good-natured derision when she recognized her host. “ ’Clio!” she exclaimed, with the utmost sangfroid, as she burieil her nose in his fragrant offering. “I might ’a’ knowed there was ado somewhere. I wasn’t on that you were In the gyme when I spoke to you in the road the other day, but I knew you were following Mr. Enslee Gray'e and his nobs, Mr. Andrew Drake. Wot's the lay?” . “I can't tell you that, but Drake’s going to double-cross you,” Miles had lowered his voice confidentially. “I have proof that he means to doublecross me. too, and that’s why I've come to join forces with you if we can reach an agreement. Suppose we give our order and then we can talk in peace.” That detail attended to the detective went on: “There's a lot you’ll have to take for granted, but you must use your own judgment about trusting me. If you show up with your little story before the right minute you’ll queer the whole thing and we won’t any of us get our bit, but it is only right that you should be on the spot to appear when I tip you off, and we two can rake in all the swag for ourselves.” "Sounds fair enough,” Maizie admitted slowly. “You've come out honest, and strike me pink if I don’t think you’re on the square with me.” The arrival of their lunch put a temporary halt to further discussion of the subject, but later over the sweets Miss Mazie Gray showed herself to be a person of quick decision.

The Raggedies Raggedy Ann. Raggedy Andy, the Fuzzywump’s Puppy dog, Goldlelocks and the three Bears walked through the pleasant woods, picking flowers and enjoying the singing of the birds as they flew from tree to tree. “Bang! Bang!” "It's a hunter with a gun!" chied Daddy Bear, his face wearing the first scowl Raggedy Ann had seen it wear. “Some mean person js spoiling some wood creature's happiness, I’ll bet a nickel.” Daddy Bear picked up a nice large stick and crept through the tall ferns toward the sound of the "Bang! Bang!” The birds, which had been singing happily a moment before, were now silent, or were flying about uttering sharp cries of “Watch out! Watch out!" Daddy Bear had been gone only a moment when “Bang! Bang!” went the gun again. "Oh. dear!” cried Mamma Bear, “I must see if he hurt Daddy Bear,” and she ran (through the ferns, followed by Raggedy Ann, ltaggedy Andy, the Fuzzywump, the Puppydog, Goldlelocks and the Baby Bear. When they all came out upon the other side they saw a man running as fast as he could run, and right be hind him ran Daddy Bear with hlB stick. "I’ll teach you to shoot the pretty little birds and woodland crea | tores,” cried Daddy Bear, his hair standing right up straight upon his head. The man had dropped his Bang gun and ran around the clearings, scarcely looking behind him. And as he did not see anyone, except Daddy Bear, the man ran right by ; Mamma Bear. And just as he passed ! her Mamma Bear gave the man a | cuff upon the ear which sent him tumbling over and over upon the ground. The Daddy Bear stood over the man and said, “Are you ever going to shoot that Bang gun in* the woods again?” And the man said, ’No, sir. Good Mister, kind mister Bear. I shall never shoot amythlng again.’ “All right,” Daddy Bear said. “If you promise truly, I shall not hit you with my stick.” “I honestly promise,’’ the man said. “Then,” said Daddy Bear, “come with us and we will give you some of our luach.” And as they again eat down and ate the lovely things Mamma Bear had packed in the basket, the birds began singing: again and the little woodland creatures came out of their hiding places and laughed and chatted igain. ’ There! You see,” said Daddy Bear, how happy all the pretty little crea lures are living here together in the wonderful woods?” “Indeed I do,” the man said, “and I want to thank you, Mister Bear, for teaching me a lesson.” —Copyright, 1922, by Johnny Grueile.

SUMMED TOURISTS FIQOHLQNQi Hotels and Clubs Are Hard Pressed to Care for Visitors. LONDON, July 31.—The flood tide of the summer tourist travel appears to have reached London with the transatlantic steamships still bringing in thousands of newscomers. while the earlier invasion is returning from the continent prepartory to the homeward trip. Hotels have been hard pressed to accommodate the unexpected influx of travelers and the Brighter London Society, which is now a hardworking reality and has accomplished no little results, and other similar civic bodies have been requested to help out during the emergency. The society has established a central information bureau where* accommodations in first-class hotels and boarding houses are listed as fast as they are available. Many Americans thus obtained accommodations in London clubs, honorary membership cards for the Constitutional, National, Liberal and Sandown Turf Clubs and for the Royal Automobile Club being extended through the Brighter London Society. These are bargain days in London's big department stores, where the energy and judgment displayed by American women are the cause of much comment by London newspaper writers. The Americans have complained of no price extorition operating against them. Edward A. Filene, the Boston merchant, stopping at the. Savoy Hotel, after a study of London’s 6tores, said: “Any American entering your big department stores here must feel perfectly at home. Articles are displayed the same way and the prioe tag Is on them. It is foolish to Imagine that they would attempt to raise their prices for strangers. The efficiency and courtesy of employee are in striking evidence, and they are the result of the same careful selection and training system as prevails in the leading stores of the United States."

THE latest and most important development in the careful cleaning* of wearing: apparel, draperies and rug*s is the “continuous flow” system of cleansing*. We are proud to announce that ‘we are the first in Indianapolis to install this valuable improvement and make it a part of our exclusive GREGGORIZING process.

This new system permits a constant circulation of our cleansing fluid — freshly filtered fluid is constantly pouring in as the dirt-laden fluid flows out during the cleansing process. Thus the dissolved dirt can not work back into the fabric. GREGGORIZING makes the fabric not only clean on the surface but makes it clean clear through—more sanitary than when it came new from the mills. This is but one of the many refinements that add to the superiority of

COSMETICIANS TU HAVEGAMPAIGN, Will Wage War Against the ‘Painted Lady’ as Year’s Work. By United Netce CHICAGO, July 31—Too many American women are daubing rouge on their faces with the carefree and reck* less abandon of a journeyman painter slapping a coat of red paint on a bam. This prevailing tendency and the fact that there really is a tremendous difference in the technique in these two important departments of “art” causes the greatest beauty doctors of the country, lingering here Sunday after a most momentous convention of the American Society of Cosmeticians, to utter whole-souled moans of despair and to vow unanimously this thing must not go on. “Painting the face,’’ for lack of a better expression, is an art —nay, it is one of the most eloquent of life’s works, and the beauty specialists are en route back to every corner of the country to spread the noble propaganda. Substitution of "tinting” for both daubing and dyeing is the society’s objective for the year, delegates declared. “We are going to conduct a campaign of education," declared Mrs. May G. Bott, president. “The painted lady is a thing of the past arid theg tinted lady is the thing from now on.”^ To be considered really beautiful these days, Mrs. Bott declared, the woman of fashion must possess that “out-of-doors tint” in her complexion. The multitude must be given the impression her hair has been kissed by the sun and the wind and perhaps the dewdrops. But if the lady hasn't time to sit on the beach, accumulate a delicate tan and plan her evening dresses and bathing suits so they will fit the tan. she can secure a “just as good” substitute in a set of little boxes and bottles on sale at her favorite beauty shop.
