HOW I LOST SO POUNDS In 2 Months Without Diets, Exercise, Rollers or Massage. New French Method Explained by Mme. Elaine of New York. "I did not hare to go through strenuous exercises nor rub myself with absurd creams, which generally put on flesh instead of taking it off. 1 did not wear weakening garments, nor torture myself with diets. 1 was fortunate enough while ia Europe to hud out the secrets with which millionaires, French actresaes and beautiful women of Paris keep their figures slender. Not only did 1 easily and gradually lose SO pounds, but the reduction was lasting as I have never gained a pound since stopping-the treatment. I feel and look years younger, and my health has greatly improved with this wonderful discovery. No matter how fat you are, you may do just as I did and easily lose a few pounds every week without any danger, aitr.ply go to any good drug store, get a package of SAN-GRI-NA tablets (insist on these, as nothing like it has ever been offered before to the oublic) take it as per directions and watch your weight go down. You can eat all you want while you take SAN-GRI-NA. AS IT IS GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS; it is the formula of a French physician, and is sold with a money-back guarantee.” SAN-GRI-NA is now sold at any of Haag's.

John Ainsley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook—preying upon other thieves. At Monte Cai lo he learns that some clever thief has stolen a pearl necklace from the Barnnne and Eseterelle. Ainsley overhears a man posing as a Russian prince offer the use- of h* hotel apartment to a young Englishman and his American bride. who have lost all their money at roulette. Later the prince brings hotel attendants to the apartment, claiming that the young Englishman has stolen his 9 keys. The prince offers to Iree the ” Englishman if he is allowed to take the young bride on a motor trip. This brings on a fight. Later the prince dismisses the charge. Ainsley wonders what is the nature of the prince's game. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY For I had no more desire to face a court, even in the role of witness, than, I suspected, the prince had to stand beforg a judge as complainant. And if I offered testimony in support of young Beresford, such a plot was so flagrant, so vicious, that not even the Monegasques, willing to wjnk their eyes at almeet any offense, if scandal could be thus averted, could ignore this. The French, for all that is written about their morals,- have a respect for wifehood. They would insist that the prince' be brought to trial for conspiracy, and I would have to testify in court. So, while I had no intention of permitting Beresford to be deported, under circumstances that wo.uld forever stain his name, I waited. There might be only one way of skinning this particular polecat, but I suspected that there might be another. And so, two hours later, when all the hotel save, probably, young B<.-ssford, slept, I the prin ;e’s rooms. Like the cat which walks alone, I walked silently. Also my move* ments were picked the lock without difficulty, and passed through the door. I found myself in a living room, at the far side of which was an open door, through which I heard snores. I tiptoed to it, peered through and entered the bedroom. A night-light wrs burning, and by its rays I could distinguish the screen behind which, I had heard the prince tell Beresford,

was a trunk. Now, that trunk had unquestionably contained a cash box. But if it had contained anything else of value, would the prince have rashly handed the Englishman his keys? If. for instance, the trunk had contained evidence which would indicate that its owner possessed unprincely habits, would the prince have given up the keys? This action of mine was based on the theory, none too logically acquired, that the prince was a criminal. Unless I should find proof in support of my theory, my nocturnal visit would be not merely dangerous but useless. And it was silly to look for evidence in the trunk. If the Prince was what I thought him to be, proof In support of my belief would be found only upon his person. And it is a difficult thing to search a sleeping man without awakening him. Nevertheless I did it. And having done so, I raggedly clipped from his great black beard a tuft of his precious whiskers. Then I returned to my room, j Tljijpe minutes later I had broken two chairs, overturned a dressingtable, and smashed a pane of glass in the window. Also, 1 had shouted at the t)op of my lungs, and had aroused the valet de chambre who slept in a cubbyhole the end of the corridor. He had aroused the night clerks, and to these latter and to the porters who (accompanied them, I poured forth my tale of nocturnal crime: “I was awakened by the sound of footsteps. I saw a huge figure by the side of my bed. I attacked him. We fought. - Behold, messieurs,/the, condition of my room,” I gesticulated wildly, Indicating the damage which I had just committed. "But it is outrageous, monsieur,” cried one of the clerks. “That such a thing should happen in the Hotel de Paris is almost incredible. Was anything taken from Monsieur?” “I doubt it,” I replied, "but I will see.” I felt in the pocket of my dinner jacket. “My purse,” I cried, “with fifteen mille notes, a thousandfranc plaque, and an express check for a thousand dollars.”

"Could Monsieur Identify the I thief.” I looked at the clerk who put the question. I opened my hand. Upon my palm lay a tuft of black whiskers. "I tore these from his face in our struggle.” I declared. "Ah!” they cried in unison. P glanced down upon the floor. Something caught my eye. “Look!” I cried. | A porter picked up the golden obI ject. It was a pencil, richly chased. I J bent over and from the floor picked up a visiting card, torn and I crushed. Dramatically I smoothed ; it, and read the name, ” ’Prince Meerkovst.’ ” “MONSIEUR STATES IT IS HE WHO HAS BEEN ROBBED.” “The thief’s name,” I exclaimed. “Prince cried one of the clerks. The others echoed his name. The second clerk assumed an air of great shrewdness. “That is why, a thief himself, he was so lenient lo the Englishman,” he said, “Ah, the canaille! We shall go to him!” * • • We did, opening up his door with a pass-key. He sat up in bed, amazed at the intrusion, and at first disdainful of our charges. But when I found underneath his pillow, where I had planted It a quarter of an hour earlier, my purse, his scornful disdain gave way to sudden fear. And When he clerk bade him look in the mirror and note the gap in bis bristling whiskers? and also asked him to observe the hirsute trophy which I was supposed to have torn from his face, fear begah

]to give way to panic. And the gold j pencil with the broken links which I fitted to nts watch-chain, and his 1 visiting card, were final proofs ! calculated, he was well aware, to convince any court in the world, i For a moment he must have beI lieved that he had been walking in | his sleep, but suddenly his hands | felt at his waist, where, I had reason I to know, he wore a money-belt. “I am Innocent,” he cried. ‘‘l am j the victim of a plot. It is I who i have been robbed!” He was standing beside his bed, i pajama-clad. I shouldered my way In front of the others, and stared him In the eye. “Monsieur states that it is he who has been robbed," I said softly. “May I ask Monsieur of what?" His mouth opened, but words did not come from it for a moment. For nearly half a minute, wide-mouthed, he stared at me. And if he had looked venomously \at Beresford earlier tonight, his regard of the young Englishman had been friendly as compared with the glance he gave me. Then he replied: “Os nothing, monsieur. “Wc shall take him at once to the jail," cried the clerk. ’Two robberies fit the same night in this horel! But this thief shall not go free!” “Wait,” I told them, raising my hand in protest. I turned to the Prince. "One forgives a repentant sinner,’’ I told him. I spoke in English. “You are a thief caught practically in the act. Nothing can save your name. But you can save your skin. If you will state to these gentlemen the tiuth about Monsieur Beresford’s entrance into your room, I, who have recovered the property which you stole from me, will forget the matter.” \ He stared at me. “So? Some day, monsieur, we shall meet a^ain.” “But not at Monte Carlo,” I told him. I looked at my watch. “It is now 4 o’clock. At 4:30 the de luxe from Rome stops here en route to Paris. If you take that train, after having confessed your vile plot, the matter is ended.” “Monsieur is a great detective,” he sneered. “ ‘Set a thief to catch a thief—' ” “I am waiting for your answer,” I interrupted him sternly. And there could only be one answer. He accepted. He withdrew his chajjge against Beresford, packed his things and .took the train de luxe. • • • I left an order to be called at 7. I wished to take no chances of missing the Beresfords. True, the young man was cleared of the charge of crime, but In his humiliation at be-

Ing unable to pay his bill, he might slip quietly away. And at eight I knocked upon his door. The management had already apologized for last night's contretemps, but it was a harassed-looking youth that admitted ijm to the apartment. “I am an older man than you,” I told him, "and wish the privilege of age.” His wife laughed. “You’re not a day over 30.” she said. I frowned at her. “Nevertheless, that Is old enough for my purpose, which Is to extract from you youngsters a promise that you will never gamble again. In return for that promise I make you a present of ten thousand francs. Some day, you will see some unfortunate whom a few hundre;! dollars will save from misery. Give him the few hundred, and consider paid, your debt to me." He w*as proud; but she—bless her heart!—had common sense. She bade him take the money, then looked at me. “We can’t thank you. You’ve cleared Jack's reputation, and you are enabling us to return to England. I think, Mr. Ainsley, that you are the finest man we know.” And I think that words of* hers w*ere a source of more gratification to me than even the sight of the pearl neckless of the Baronne d’Esterelle.

And it was also why, when I asked him of what he had been robbed, ha had replied, “Os nothing.” Even rage against me could not! blind him to fact that if he accused me of stealing the necklace from him, he would convict himself of having stolen It from the Baronne.
