A man stood upon the threshold: a man of medium height, with sandy hair and mustache slightly tinged with gray. His face was alert 'and -keenly Intelligent His eyes shrewd, .1 but kindly, the brows sloping downward .toward the nose, with the peculiar look of concentration of one given-to

quick decisions and instant, fearless .-.ction. - ' - - - His eyes traveled quickly from the 'oung girl's face to Ramon Hamilton, s the latter advanced with outtretched hand. "Mr. Blaine, it was fortunate -that e found you at liberty and able to BBlst us in a matter which is of vital japortance to us both. This is Miss Anita Lawton, daughter of the late ' Pennington Lawton, who desires your i id on a most urgent matter. "Miss Lawton." Mr. Blaine bowed jver her hand. When they were seated she said, , hyly: "I understand from Ramon vir. Hamiltonthat you were at one ' ime of great service to my father. : I trust that you will be able to help me now, for I feel that I am in the meshes of a conspiracy. You know that my father died suddenly, almost i week ago." "Yes, of course. His death was a Treat loss to the whole country, Miss LAwton." "Something occurred a few hours before his death, of Which even the coroner is unaware, Mr. Blaine. I told Mr. Hamilton what 1 knew, but he advised me to say nothing of it, unless further developments ensued." "And they 'have ensued?" the detective asked quietly. "Yes." Anita then detailed to Mr. Blaine the incident of her father's nocturnal visitor. As she told him the conversation she had overheard, it seemed to her that the eyes of the detective narrowed slightly, but no other change of expression betrayed the fact that the Incident might have held a significance in his mind. "The voice was entirely strange to you?" he asked. "Yes; I have never heard it before, "out It made such an impression upon me that I think I would recognize it "instantly whenever or wherever I might happen' to hear it. "You caught no glimpse of the man through the half-opened door?" "No, I was not far enough downstairs to see into the room." t "And when you fled, after hearing 3S 66 rip Iwo ' Suspicion gathered in the man's eyes. "If I let you go now, you'll really come back?" he aBked sharply. "I'm at least a good enough sport to keep my word!" Caryl retorted indignantly. "All right, then," agreed Somerdyke. "I'll be waiting here when you return, and I'll promise you we'll be back in time for your dinner if gasoline and tires hold out. They ought to, for I had the car overhauled only last week." He pressed her hand warmly as she said goodbye, and she hurried away down the street. Out of sight around the corner she took a car to Twentysecond street, then walked so fast that she reached her lodgings quite out of breath. Putting several additional pins in her hat to secure it tightly, f,h& took from Julia's dresser a long blue veil which was one of her sister's few bits of finery. She stood still for a moment in the middle of the room, her finger on her ipuckered lips, her brow wrinkled in thought. What message should she leave her sister? It would never do to tell her the plain truth. Julia was -such a fuss about things and insisted on regarding her younger sister as still a mere child. With an abrupt determination Caryl ((went to the shabby little table that stood near the window and. with a etub of a pencil, dashed off a hurried Bote. ) "Julia, darling. she wrote. "Mr. Delaine is giving a tea at his studio Ithis afternoon and has asked me to stay and meet some of his guests and ihelp with the tea things. Do not 'worry if I am a little late in getting .home. I shall be well chaperoned and Mr. Delaine is sure you won't mind. I hop you won't be angry. Your loving little sister. Caryl." She laid the note on the bureau where Julia would be sure to see it, and hurried downstairs, f Ten minutes more than the time that Caryl had alloted to herself had passed when she rejoined Somerdyke. Don't Dye Your Carpets and Rugs Dyeing , carpets and rugs is an expensive and often unsatisfactory operation, for it is impossible to dye them lighter in color. Instead of dyeing, it is better to restore the original colors to carpets and rugs with plain olsonlte. There Is no hard work to this. You simply brush the olsonite over the surface of the carpet, then wipe off, and your carpet will look like new. In addition to restoring the colors, olsonite renews the natural oil of the fibres and raises the nap. It actually lengthens the life of carpets and rugs. It should be remembered that beating carpets and rugs, or scrubbing with soap and water, "breaks" them and shortens their life. Olsonite can be purchased at any drug store. It comes in air-tight conalners. enough to do two ordinary 00 ma for fifty, cents. Adv.

These eyes, she noted, as she came closer, were shut, and she paused embarrassedly,

Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life

With' drowsy Interest Helen watched the colored porter make up their section. Deftly he shook out the first sheets, incased the pillows, and hung the sheltering green curtains. "Want the suitcase in the berth, m:'em?" "No, just that small satchel, and I'd like a paper bag for my hat." For Helen a night on a sleeper seemed always a luxury, and now with a thrill of expectancy she crept, into the lower berth. The curtains closed, she drew down the window shades and raised the brass flap that concealed the light by her pillow. It was a new car, with the added conveniences of a coat hanger and an extra rack that folded out from the gleaming headboard. Anxious to get settled while Warren was in the smoker, Helen quickly slipped Into her-dark blue traveling robe, and with her satchel hurried down the now darkened aisle to the dressingroom. The car was full. Every berth was made up, and the curtains bulged with bags and suitcases. Pushing through the door in the vestibule, she was confronted by a heavy perfume and the cold stare of a haughty blonde, who was seated before the mirror, rolling her copperish HIS SUCCESS.

I would have told no one, except Ramon, but for the fact that this afternoon my minister Informed me that my father, Instead of being the multi-millionaire we had all supposed him, had in reality ' died a bankrupt."

Her bag stood on the only other chair, and her comb, brush and hairpins littered the one shelf under the mirror. Helen waited awkwardly for. her to move her bag or clear a space on the shelf, but with insolent unconcern she went on rolling up her hair. With an indignant flush, deliberately Helen lifted the elaborately fitted bag to the floor, and replaced it with her own. At least she had a right to one chair. The woman glared at her in the mirror, but Helen turned to the washbasin. It was half full of soapy water, and a tuft of reddish combings smeared the wet ledge. With a shrug of revulsion and disdain, Helen left the basin untouched ar.d washed her hands under the ice water faucet. Her face, when traveling, she always washed -"-Ith cold cream. The mirrored door reflected the heavily jeweled hands that were now adjusting a lace boudoir cap over the kid curlers. A soiled but expensive pink satin corset, and a lace-frilled petticoat hung over the back of the chair. Even the high-heeled slippers with their rhinestone buckles were absurdly inappropriate for traveling. "Oh, I beg your pardon," faltered Helen, as a heavy lurch of the train swayed her against the woman's chair. The only response was a lofty silence, as now, her night toilet complete, she brushed her things into her bag, buttoned the embroidered Japanese robe over her lace nightgown and flounced out. With a sigh of relief Helen sank Today's Beauty Hint It is not necessary to shampoo.quite so frequently if your hair is properly cleansed each time. by use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers may be prepared very cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox, obtained from your druggist, in a cup of hot water. This rubbed into the scalp creates a thick lather, soothing and cooling In its action, as well as beneficial to scalp and hair. After rinsing the scalp is fresh and clean, while " the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright lustre and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy. Adv.

Bennie Dog had the toothache all one night," and in the morning his mother said: "You better go to the barn and ask Mr. Horse or Mr. Donkey if they cannot help you." So Bennie Dog trotted off to Mr. Man's barnyard and told Mr. Horse that his tooth had ached all night and he wanted it cured. "You will have to have it taken out," said Mr. Horse, "and that is a very painful operation, I can tell you. lor I remember that my father had a toothache once and a man came and took it out with a pair of tongs." "Oh! it won't hurt very much," said Mr. Donkey, who was standing near and had his ears pricked up to catch anything that was being said. "I know all about drawing. teeth, Bennie Dog. and if you would like to have me I will take that tooth out in a jiffy and you will never have the toothache again. Bennie Dog thought a minute, and then he said: "Why, it does not ache a bit now. I guess I will wait until it begins to ache before I have you take it out, Mr. Donkey. Thank you so much." Bennie Dog ran out of the barn and down the road, but just before he reached the house, the tooth gave a terrible jump. It felt like a leap to Bennie Dog; and then it began to ache again. Oh! how it did ache. Bennie Dog felt very brav then: he didn't care what happenad so that he was rid of that tooth, so he turned right around and ran as fast as he could for the barn. "Oh! Mr. Donkey, I'll have you take this tooth out," he said, holding his paws over the place that ached. Bennie Dog jumped on one foot and then on the other while Mr. Donkey was getting ready, so he didn't see what Mr. Donkey was to draw the tooth with until he was right in front of him. Bennie Dog gave one look at the long tongs Mr. Donkey had, and then he knew he didn't have a toothache at all, and before Mr. Donkey realized what had happened Bennie Dog was running down the road with his tail between his legs faster than he had ever run before in all his life. The tooth did not ache at all that day, but in the night it began again, and the next morning Bennie Dog had a very fat-looking face on one side. He sat on the steps of his bouse feeling very unhappy and trying to make up his mind to go back to Mr. Donkey, but every time he thought he would go that dreadful pair of tongs gave him a fright. "Hello. Bennie Dog!" said Tommie Cat, '!what is the matter with your face? Have you got the mumps?" "No; I have a toothache," said Bennie Dog, very sad. "Why don't you have it out?" asked Tommie Cat. "I did go to Mr. Donkey." said Bennie Dog, "but it didn't ache when he was ready to take it out, so I came home." "Oh! that Is always the way with a tooth that aches, it always stops when you get ready to have it drawn out, I but I know a better way than that, . and you can do it yourself, too." i "What Is it? Does it hurt?" asked i Bennie Dog. "Oh! no; it does not hurt much.", sr.id Tommie Cat. "You get a stone' and tie a string to it, and then tie the other end of the string to your tooth I and drop the stone!" I "What happens then?" asked Ben-i nie Dog, thinking that sounded easy. I "Why, your tooth comes out when!

Newspaper Syndicate, New York, you drop the stone." said Tommie Cat. After Tommie Cat had gone Bennie Dog began to think that would not be very hard or hurt very much Just;to drop the stone and out would come the tooth, so he got a stone and tied a string around it and then tied it to his aching tooth. Tommie Cat did not tell him the string must be short, and Bennie Dog had the string so long that when he dropped the 6tone it did not take the tooth out. "I guess I did not do that right." said Bennie Dog trying it again, but it did not take out the tooth that time, either. Bennie Dog picked up the stone with the string still tied to his tooth, and went up the steps to go into the house

to ask his mother if she knew how a tooth could be taken out bydropping a stone. Just as Bennie Dog reached the top step he stumbled and dropped the stone and it rolled off the step. "Oh!v said Bennie Dog as something jerked and hurt. He jumped up and looked at the stone lying on the ground, and there was something tiny and white on the other end of the string. Bennie Dog ran down the steps and looked at it, and then he felt for the tooth that had ached, and it was gone. Tomorrow's story "Why Caterpillars Become Butterflies."
