The Quest of

CnAPTER XI. (Continued.) Tyoga hesitated. Then. Alright," she said shortly, and led the way down the hatchway to the laboratory where Betty had regained consciousness that first remembered morning. Since then Betty had never been there. She had a doll-baby suite of rooms well forward, hardly tenable for ona so tall and athletic as Betty. "While most of her time, even in stormy weather, was spent on deck, still many of her meal3 were served in the tiny sitting room, all gay with blue and gold blue the color of Betty's eyes, and geld like the un in June weather. Betty stumbled along the unfamiliar passageway. Tyoga knocked twice at a bolted door and after a little wait the portal swung Inward and Tyoga thrust Betty within. She wanted to see you," she announced, brusquely. "I've got to get dinner. Le Malheureux bowed low. Tm glad of your company," he said. "I have a lonely life, and such an interruption Is a pleasant one." -Well, If you appreciate ray coming so much, show your appreciation," suggested Betty, "do tell me why I am here, and who you are?' I will do neither," aiAwered T-e Malheureux. "Do not ask me. I dislike to be compelled to be so discourteous as to refuse you, but I must. Tou have been very ill. but health is returning to you. and when you return home you will think of this Journey only as a pleasant dream. You have had no cause to complain of your treatment here, save you?" "No,- faltered Betty. "Only I'm accustomed to knowing why and wherefore, that's alL" "That's all you say," said Le Malheureux. "Don't you know that "Why's and 'wherefore's are the sum total of existence? Don't ask ma about them. Ask me anything else!" "Then I shall promulgate a 'who,'" chanced Betty, desperately. "Tell me. do you know who murdered Cerisse "Wayne?" She was unprepared for the reply, yet intuitively knew that it was what she had anticipated. "Yes. assented Le Malheureux. "What is more," he continued, watching a swift question form on Betty's lips, "I saw the deed whan it was done!" Betty shrunk from him with eyes dilated, mouth agape. "Then you " she began. -I did not." promptly retorted Le Malheureux. "I did not kill her. I would have saved her if I could. But It was Impossible. The tragedy was Inevitable, it was foreordained and it tad to happen. Nobody can ever Clinch with Destiny. The first few days you were aboard this boat you tried it. my dear Miss Lancey. The result? You nearly had a second attack of fever and nervous prostration. When you resigned yourself to events as they course, you commenced to feel better, as you must admit. To dismiss the unattainable, and to welcome what may come, is the right doctrine of living. Why do you worry with what yo i cannot affect?" "I don't dare to think." said Betty. "But since you. whoever you are. have hauled me off in this high-handed fashion. I consider there's some largess coming to me. If you knew who mur dered Cerisse Wayne, why don't you tell me? That Is. unless you're In duty bound to protect the murderer! Come, tell me, do." "What benefit would that be to you questioned Le Malheureux. "You forget I'm a newspaper worntnu." argued Betty, "and I draw salary for gathering the news and turning 'A In to my city editor." "Some distance from your city editor now, aren't you?" suggested Le Mai heureux. "Well, couldn't I send my paper a wireless?" flashed Letty. "You've an Instrument there!" "Ho, hoi laughed Le Malheureux. "So that's why you wanted to come into my laboratory, is it? You heard the clicking, recognized it, and thought If you dared enough you might com munlcate with your friends. A great Idea, that! And I must confess you are a plucky girl. Miss Betty, but I warn you, if you tamper with these Instruments In here, you'll tamper with eternity, and I'd advise you to let these apparatuses alone." "Bah! I'm not afraid," sneered Bet tjr. "Xelther has any troublemaker ever been afraid of the trouble she started till It's too late to stop It You're a woman, and of course you'll do as you please, but" he shrugged himself again "you'd better be warned." "I'll promise not to meddle If you'll tell me one thing." persisted Betty. "You should have been a corpora tlon lobbyist." responded Le Malheur eux: still I shall be generous! But what Is itr "Who did kill Cerisse Wayne?" "A man who loved her," replied Le Malheureux, laconically. "Come here and see what I have done to this gef anlum leaf. It Is magnified and remag nined. Look how its eyes have re sponded to the influence of these con vergent rays a new ray I have dis covered myself. I have found the eyes of plants and their souls! Some day I hall uncover the human soul itself, not only the physically corporate, but those that ride, as Omar says, "naked en the air of heaven " Eetty looked Irfto the globe he held out before her. Within she saw pulpy preen substance, throwing out dozens of the most minute of antennae inese wruneu and fluttered most weirdly. "Oh. I can't stand this." she declar ed, "nor the air in here. Tyoga! Tyo ga! come and take me upstairs." When the old npgress had led her tack to her shady seat on deck Bettv Lancey "sat and scanned the offing for r sail, and wondered how she could get word to Larry Morris where she was and how in the world she could send the news she had to the '"Inquirer" of fice. Somehow her hunger for Larry was far worse than her desire to satisfy the newspaper appetite of dellverin; her portion of the solution to th Wayne murder mystery. Betty, self reliant Itetty, weakened by the first se vere Illness she had ever known; Bet ty, stripped of the practical routine adjuncts of the dally life to which she was accustomed; Betty, who had open ly flouted at poetry and romanticism thi3 same Betty plunged into a fire of mystery, murder and death, convalesc Ing from a malignant attack of brain fever, was beginning to discover that a woman Is a weakling after all, and that when she needs a strong arm to lean on. she wants it sadly. And in the mist and mirage of the life from which he had so suddenly been taken away It was Larry Morris, his face, his fig

F. WEST ft heart and soul reached out for vainly. If she could have found an empty bottle anywhere she would have chanced that old pastime of the mariner and last refuge of the shipwrecked a note In a bottle. But bottles there were none, nor anything else feasible, and Betty plunged into despair. With returning health, however, came a renewed interest in life. She had good food, the weather was fine, and Betty a splendid sailor. She possessed the exuberance of youth and all of a newspaper woman's curiosity for the vhat is to happen next. Le Malheu reux, though extremely repulsive, was also decidedly Interesting, and their conversations and intimacy grew with the voyage. Le Malheuriux was well read, cour teous, a polfshcd gentleman. gracous. and a delighful companion when he so chose. But le never saw her for more than an hour a day, and was reticent about himself and his people. Betty gathered that he had long lived in Af rica, though he had been educated In England, France and Germany. By education he was a physician, by for tune independent, and by occupation a research worker in the extensive fields of electro-therapy. But there were three things he never did he never removed or shifted any of his somber drapings, his hands were always gloved, and the thick veil of full green was never lifted from his face. CHAPTER XII. At the close of a long, hot day, the enchanted yacht sighted land a blur of gray and green to the left As the night deepened this verged Into a splash of tropic green, washed with a spendthrift moon. Betty begged to be allowed to stop on deck to watch this dawning beauty, and Tyca., muffled In a long white cloak, stood beside her. As they approached the harbor. Betty saw It was the Jettylng mouth of a river, the banls lined with mosshung palms. springing from a matted growth of reeda, entwined vines, rushes and lush grass. Straight up the river they went in the moonlight. through a current so slow that the stream appeared stagnant No sign of habitation met the eye, and the Jungles to either side were still as death save for the occasional roar of a Hon. or snarl of soiree angered panther. The river verged into a lake, black and forbidding, wlthm bleak beaches of yellow sand, and from there they rushed. Into another river roofed with en tangled tree through which filtered a blood-red sunrise. All day they fol lowed this river, pimpled at Intervals with lakes, small or large, and clear or muddled. The white heron and the storn watched them unheeding. A crocodile or two sidled after them, and at Intervals some huge snake, untwin ing from a long hanging bough, would stretch its slimy length across the snowy deck. Twice they passed a herd of elephants coming down to drink, and often sent an affrighted lioness hurry ing back from the water's edge to her mewing kittens. The purple lotus spread Itself despairingly over some of the slimiest pools as If to patch up black hldeodsness with perfect bloom. All this tropical splendor finally wearied even Betty's rapt eyes, and she clung gratefully to Tyoga's arm as the negress ss.ld: "We are at our Journey's end." Ani with it had come the night The ya:ht had swung through an archway, and shot into a roofed pas sage, water dripping from the stones and moss above them, and a raven cawed as they stopped at a stubby wharf, from which led up a dizzy flight of dimly lighted granite steps. The stairs ended in a vaulted corrllor hung with a few antique brass amps. Placed at intervals along the sides were low stone couches covered with leopard skins. To one of these Tyoga motioned Bet ty, and then pursing her thick black Hps she emitted a peculiar whistle. In stantly there darted forward from one of the dusk-hung niches .a comely young negro girl, her glistening body, satiny as ebony, nude save for a kilt of striped silk, and a short tunic of gauze. She bowed low before Tyoga, who addressed to her a few half audible remarks in a strange dialect. The girl nodded her head in the affirmative, stealing occasional surreptitious glances at Betty, and then taking up one of the smoking brass lamps she led the way toward the end of the long halt Here more steps, two flights of them, of time-harried stone, mossgrown in the corners, greeted them. There were more corridors and more stairs In a dizzying never-ending se quence, till them came upon a hall longer, lighter and lower than the rest. A hundred archways with tapestry hangings opened upon this hallway and In the center arch the slave girl towed low again and, pushing aside the draperies, stood apart for them to enter. The room was furnished In skins. ivory, ebony and gold. The couch of ebony had no springs, but to Betty's later surprise the down cushions and skins plied upon It made it the softest bed she had ever rested upon. There were stone stools, chairs of oddly twist ed tropic woods, and a great mirror of ebony, ivory and gold, studded with hundreds of precious stones. Swing ing from the celling was an ornate lamp of filigree and' Jewels, and thl3 burned low and dull. "You will be glad to rest I know, said Tyoga. "Meta there will bring you a glass of warn milk, and then you must rest. Rest the sweetest you have ever done, my lady. To night I shall not be with you; I have other duties; but Meta will sleep here on a iwllet by your side. Good-night. Be unafraid." She stooped low and kissed Hetty's hand, and Betty could have sworn a tear fell upon It Tyosa spoke truly. Meta brought the mi'k as deliciously warm and fra grant as If roses had been steeped within Its limpid depths. The cool Unen garment the slave wrapped around Betty rested her fevered skin, and the pillows were magic wings that tore her away to Forgetfulness Land. Sleep came, just sleep, no dreams, and the sun was topping the heavens when Mue-eyed Betty awakened. Tyoga was not yet returned, but Meta, faith ful and silent, stood by the couch gen :ly waving a huge palm branch. "A modern Cleopatra; but where is my Antony?" smiled Betty to herself, sniggling comfortably back Into her nt.-. She stretched her feet luxurl ouj.y back and forth under the silken coverlids, then roused to full conscious ness with a start. . "A sorry newspaper woman, I," she scolded, mentally; "here am I with a whole live mystery between my thumb and forefinger and doing never a thing to solve it! Ah. Betty, Betty!" She rose hurriedly, in pantomime beseeching Meta to hasten with her garments. For the shoes Betty had

Directory Hotel the night of her Hifated visit to the Ilarcourt apartments Tyoga had substituted a quaint pair of high-heeled slippers, as unlike Betty's usual substantial footgear as a rose 13 like a radish. And In place of her strictly tailored waist Betty was now wearing soft draperies of varicolored silk. What had become of her clothe? she didn't know, and Tyoga had successfully resisted all importuning that might tell Betty the why and wherefore of her present incarnation. (To be continued.)

PERFECT ARTIST'S MODEL. Miss Amelia Hone, Whose Artlstle Pose Circle the Globe. To be able to see a picture of a statue of oneself in almost any city of the United States or Europe would be an unusual experience for any one. Yet should Miss Amelia Rose visit any large city, from the imperial gardens In Pekin, China, to Canton. Ohio, she is always able to find a representation of herself. For Miss Rose, a pretty, dark-haired Russian girl, has been a model for probably all of the greatest painters, sculptors and photographers of tho present day, and stands a3 one of the four women picked as having a perfect form, tho Buffalo News says. Maude Odell, Annette Kellerman and Ray Beveridge are three women who are known the country over as models of physical perfection. Miss Rose, however, has been declared by such experts as Mucha and Carl Blenner to be "the perfect model." She is much smaller than either of the other women, but Is said to be much more delicately molded, with each portion of her body In perfect proportion. The story of Mis3 Rose reads like a bit of strange fiction. Coming to America from Russia, a wee, pale-faced girl, she first eecured a position in a department store at $3 a week. There she studied English. She was noticed one day by an artist and soon became a famous model. Her poses in painting and sculpture circle the globe. One of the most noted is Hubert Vos' "Water Nymph." which s owned by the empress of China and 3 the only bit of sculpture by a for eigner in the royal gardens. Henry Mosler ha3 done many ideal heads for her, especially his "Mermaid" of last year. Haskell Coffin's" "Poster Girls" and his "Bohemian Girl" are all well known. Miss Rose has been posed by Louis More, for Charles Dana Gibson, Howard Chandler Christy. Harrison Fi3her and Frank and J. C. Lyendecker. Carl Blenner termed her "The Perfect Model." Sarony, Burr Mcin tosh, Matzene, Marceau and other great photographers have all sought her. BreaklaK the Fast In Rtu4ian, The Arabs say Ramadan; the Per sians and Turk3 say Ramazan. They all observe throughout the month a species of fast that has no precise counterpart in the west. So long a3 the sun Is In the sky food or drink of any kind may not pass the true be liever's Hps.

Watchmen will patrol the streets with drums to warn him that his moments of grace are num bered, and cannon once more announce their end. ' Nothing Is more characteristic of late afternoons in Ramazan than the preparations for the evening meal which preoccupy all Moslems, partic ularly those who work with their hand3. As the sun nears tho horizon fires are lighted, tables are spread. bread is broken, water Is poured out, cigarettes are rolled, and hands are lifted halfway to the mouth in expec tation of the signal that gives liberty to eat. This breaking of the daytime fast is called lftar and is an Institu tion in Itself. To be invited to iftar i3 a particular mark of friendship. Scribner's Magazine. Shot Ills Own Hen. Two neighbors kept hens and Quarreled because they scratched each other's potato rows up. One sold hi3 hens unknown to the other, who made a large run and fastened his hens up. saying: "Now, the first hen I see In my garden I shall shoot." Next day he saw a hen scratching as usual, so he got the gun and shot it and then threw it over his neigh bor's fence, saying: "Take your hen!" The hen was picked up, taken In and cooked. The following days the same thing happened. Still the neighbor took them up and said nothing till the sev enth came over and hit him on the head. Then he picked It up and threw It back at his neighbor, saying: "Eat your own old hens! We are tired of eating them and prefer a lit tle pheasant. I sold my hens over a month since!" Pearson's Weekly. Wbr He Cried. The sympathetic neighbor asked, "Is your little brother ill thi3 morning. Johnnie. I heard him crying In the most heartrending manner.'

Hyperbole Is the source of much fun. If not of much wit. A young cadet, says a writer in Harper's Weekly, was complaining of the tight fit of his uniform.

Thouftlit on Domestic Koonomy. There are many households in which the mistress of the establishment doesn't know her business, writes the Country Contributor. Thi3 is a deplorable state of affairs. What right has a woman to marry and take on the responsibility of housekeeping when she doesn't know the first thing about it? What man would dare attempt life at such hazards? With such avwife a man is truly "up against it" when hard times come. If the woman has been wholly dependent on the cook and the best that the market affords for food for her husband and family, where are they to land when prices rise a3 they have risen and retrenchment in household expenses is necjsary? There aro many women who hold this ignorance and 'Incapacity of theirs as a distinction they imagine that it marks them something above the common herd. Out upon such nonsense! What man at the head of a large manufacturing or business concern can succeed unless he knows the minutest detail of the business? Why is it that the man "who began as an office boy" so often ends as a millionaire? Sim ply because he knows his business from the ground up. If the details of a business, then, are not above the close study and consideration of a financier, why should the minutiae of the day's work be be neath the notice of the mistress of any sort of house? Why should not the flour bin and the grease can be under her Inspection? " And why should she not be able to take the place of any servant in the house if necessity presents itself? To my mind, nothing is more interesting than the preparation of food and the study of domestic problems. Our supper in the kitchen redemonstrated to our minds the fact that we have too much house. No body need3 a parlor, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen, at least nobody in moderate circumstances. The family life 13 much alike among rich and poor and we are nestling, close l'vlng creatures by nature. A small room with a genial fire draws the family like a magnet, a little circle, needing only love and congeniality to bring happiness. Can we not take a. lesson from this regarding the actual essentials of existence? Belts appear everywhere and on ev erything that has a waistline. Anyone . possessing a sun-plaited. knlfe-plalted or accordion-plaited skirt may rejoice, for these skirts will be all the rage again. Gold and silver, colored and jeweled slippers are high in fashion's favor. ret many of the most careful dressers cling to the blacks. A singli polnsetta or a huge rose, more often than not artificial, is pinned on milady's muff. It gives a pleasing touch of color. To have more than three buttons on the spring suit is taboo. And what Is more, the three must be diagonally arranged to be quite au fait. The guimpe of plain sheer tulle or net Is more frequently used than that of tucks. The y6ke is extremely shal low, and flesh tint is the usual color. Drapery is still a commanding fea ture. It is quite the thing to wear sometrng loose, that may be called a wrap, though it is more an evolution of the scarf. Tan footwear Is promised the great est vogue that it has ever had, and it will, of course, come in some startling new shades, all the way from cbam pagne to ochre. White cotton crepe will be used quite is much this spring and summer as Last year. Some waists of this material are now seen, rich with elaborate designs embroidered in colors. The Russian coat is trying to the average figure, and the wise woman will have her general utility coat se vere and conventional with the materials and some little details to stamp it this season s suit. Old-Tims Core. Of all the homely cures which are still to be discovered in old manu script books of the past one of the simplest Is that of a sliced onion. dipped In salt, and rubbed well over the skin. Another famous remedy con sisted of white mustard, made into a thick, croamy mixture with water and spread over swollen toes at night Linen rags were then ordered to be wound around, so that no air could cause a chill. If the heat did not prove too great for forbearance, the sufferer was ordered to leave iiie mus tard to dry on, and to remove all trices of it in the morning by means of a soft handkerchief dipped In rain water. Of homemade ointments, one of the least difficult to irake is that of a mixture of half an ounce of white wax. an ounce of beef marrow and two ounces of hog's lard melted over the fire, and then strained through a piece of linen. According to a centuryold recipe, which dates from the time when every housekeeper's garden waa her medicine chest as well, herbs and leaves, compounded with care, had an almost miraculous effect on painful chilblains, aKhough, like all the foregoing recipes, it va3 only prescribed to be used when the skin was 'not broken. The mixture consisted cf a handful each of common mallow. marshmallow, ground ivy and perlwinkle leaves, boiled with a penny worth of alum and six breakfast cupfuls of water. Boiling was continued until the liquid had reduced to a quart, when it was strained off and stirred into six-pennyworth of camphorated spirits. Wlutt C.lrU Are Called.

WEDDING

For a fashionable wedding the bride's gown of heavy white satin ha3 been fashioned after tbe model in the illustration. It is cut en princesse, and the square yoke of dotted net is draped on each side with the princess lace in fichu fashion. The lace veil reaching to the knees is prettily arranged on top of head with orange blossoms. The bridesmaid's costume is primrose satin, also of princess cut, with cleverly draped tunic arranged as shown in design. The bodice in this gown is made from self-tone tucked chiffon cloth, with round yoke of white Irish lace. A large black velvet hat, with crown band of gold embroidery and huge pink rose on left side make3 a charming finishing touch.

Don't Marry the Man Who thinks he 13 irresistible to the fair sex. Who is courtesy and smiles to strangers, but keeps dullness for home consumption. Who counts it wrong in a woman to do that which a man may do with immunity. Who has no higher ambition than to become rich, sinking honor and manhood to attain it. Who thinks his cigars and wines a necessity, but looks upon household expenses as a luxury. Who 13 mean. Better have a poor husland, who, if he cannot give you much, gives cheerfully. Who is afraid to say "no when tempted to do wrong, and "yes" when he should do what is right. Who runs with the crowd; dares not assert hi3 own manhood, and would commit a wrong rather than take the initiative and be singular. Who thinks a woman should have no Interests outside her home, but should be a domestic slave, tied down to never-ending drudgery. Who has no sympathy with your aspirations; who cannot enter into the spirit of your work, .and looks upon your best efforts as a waste of time. Who boasts of his capacity for spirits; of how much he can drink without showing the effect. Get away from him; he is more of a hogshead than a man. The I'ntrimnied Hat. The prevailing fashion for having an entirely plain hat on the head is interesting and artistic, but one should not adopt the fashion without knowing its dangers. They are these: vThat un-f less me nai nas exquibiie lines, wmcn means perfection of cut and shape, it looks ungainly. One must pay as much for the shape of the brim In a hat of this kind as for the trimming. Too few women realize this. Raglan Meeiea Ag-ala. It i3 said that the Raglan shoulder line and a modified kimono sleeve will return to favor. It is true that they wer satisfactory and more becoming than the tight sleeves set in small anmholes, which are still in vogue. The same Idea Is noticeable in many of the new and beautiful ball gown3, where broad bands of embroidery extend over the shoulder line. To Thread the Machine Needle. If, for any reason, either poor eyesight or lack of light at machine, one hs difficulty in threading the machine n.idle, try holding a piece of white cloth or. paper on the opposite side of the needle eye, which will then be so prominent that threading will be easy.

For a child's sake if not for those around him, do not let him whine. The fault finding attitude toward life is all too easy, and It makes for sure unhappiness. The whine of the young becomes the chip oa the shoulder of

The child who Is taught to take life as it is without complaints, better yet, to .make the best of it or to laugh at its discomforts.
