The detective received this information with , inscrutable calm. r Only, by a thoughtful pursing of his lips did he give indication that the news had any visible effect upon him. Anita continued, giving him all the details of the minister's visit, and the magnanimous promise of her father's three associates to stand in loco parentis toward her. It was only when sne told of summoning her lover, and the accident

which befelL him on his way to her. that that peculiar gleam returned again to the eyes of Mr. Blaine, and they glanced narrowly at the young man opposite him. "As I told Ramon, I cannot help but feel that It Is not true. My father could not have become a pauper, much less could he, the soul of honor, have been guilty of anything derogatory to his good name. Until a few days prior to his death, he had been In his usual excellent spirits, and surely had there been any financial difficulties in Ma path he would have retrenched, -in some measure.. He made no effort to do so. however, and In the last few weeks ha given even more generously than to the various philanthropic projects in which he was so interested. Does that look like he was on the verge of bankruptcy?

Helen and Warren ; Their Married Life

By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married Life," Author of "The Journal of a .Neglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc

Whatever her antagonism to the; woman, she must take it to her she could not leave it there. Helen knew her section, the last on their side, for she had noticed her before the berths were made up. Stumbling over a protruding bag, and brushing by a bent-over, undershirted man, who was taking off his shoes, Helen made her way back down the aisle. To her dismay. Warren was sitting hunched up between the parted curtains of their section. "Not in yet?" angrily. "I. stayed out there an hour to give you " "I know, dear, but a horrid woman took up all the dressing-room. I had to wait till she got out." "Wait till she got out? How much room do you need? Did you want to fox trot or get ready for bed?

. "No," quiveringly, almost in tears at his brutal remark. "I couldn't lift

up the suitcase." Warren dragged out the suitcase, got his pajamas, took off his coat and shoes and climbed into the upper berth. Closing down the light, Helen raised the shade of the open window. -A wire screen kept out the cinders, but the cool night air blew in with fresh chillness. "Looks like the devil looks like the " The very rumble of the train seemed to re-echo the words. Her hair was always a sensitive point. It was silky fine, but hopelessly straight. Even as a child she had anguished 'over It. often wishing it coarse as a horse's mane if only it

it before breakfast, and she had to arrange it under her morning cap as best she could. Now he had said it looked "like the devil." Sitting up, she stared in the narrow mirror between the windows. By the

pale moonlight she saw a slender, oval face, and dark eyes luminous with tears. But her hair oh, how she HATED her hair! (More Tomorrow.)

Once upon a time the news traveled

through : Fairyland that the ', oldest daughter of the Queen was tq be married. On the morning-glory telephones the news ran along till every creature knew about it. Even the squirrels chattered about it in the

trees and the flowers whispered to each other the latest bit of gossip. People would have said that they were nodding in the wind, but that is not true. They were talking about the

beautiful wedding veil which the fairy Princess would wear on her bridal

night.

Every one seemed bright, gay and

happy except a tiny brown caterpillar, who crept around on the w arm sid of

a stone. He watched the brteht bees

humming in the sun. the blossoms swinging in their beauty and everything except himself seemed lovely. In

a tiny pool he caught sight of his own ugly,, furry face and the sight made him sad. Why was all the world beautiful except himself? Everyone else was invited to the wedding except this tiny caterpillar, but he did not complain. He was glad to see other folks happy and tried to think if he were patient that maybe some day things, would get better. So he lay in the sun and no one noticed him at all. Presently the moon came out and down the woodland path came the queen with he princess. But the bride -was i ars. The wedding veii had been lo and there was no place to get another. In an hour the guests would assemble, the fireflies would gleam on every bush, the groom would

come riding on his- humming-bird

steed, but the marriage could not go on without the veil no fairy could be wedded unless a cobweb veil crowned her head. On the fairy queen's shoulders there gleamed a gorgeous shawl of many colors whose tints shone purple, gold

have wings, instead of creeping along on the earth wings bright as the shawl on your shoulders."

Outside the strains of the wedding t

march began to sound, but the queen did not r hurry. Tears stood in her eyes. . -: . "Oh, how glad I am that I can make you what you wish?" she exclaimed, as she waved her tiny wand over the caterpillar. Then the little brown, furry thing vanished and upward there floated on the air a beautiful creature, wafting himself lightly about on wings flashing in purple, .gold and crimson.

Two Sisters

-.By-Virginia Terhune Van de Water

"No. I was not snoring, and was, really wide awake with my eyes tight ' shut. Ten minutes ago I looked at my watch and found that you were due here. Then, to forget the desolation of the street when you are not in it, I closed my eyes that I might not be smitten by the sight." Caryl laughed with enjoyment of his merriment. She felt suddenly happy and elated. Her joy made her face more animated -and prettier than usual. With Julia's pale blue veil ' knotted under her chin she looked like a child. "Whew! but you've got stunning

blue eyes!" Somerdyke exclalnmed, as

he razed at her. "They just maicn

the color of your veil. Did you take them to the store with you so as to be

onrA tn eet that exact shade?" he

teased.

HIS PART. "Tou say you never worked in a restaurant before, still you juggle iishes quite cleverly." "That's easy I used to be a faro lealer." ...

"Don't be so silly!" Caryl command

ed, pleased nevertheless.

"All right. I won't. Hop into the

car now and we'll get off!"

Taking her elbows into his strong

hands he almost lifted the girl from

the ground to the front seat, and, after manipulating a mysterious lever or two. seated himself beside her.

"Please observe that this machine has a new self-starter." he said, and the girl replied. "Oh, yes. I see," although she had no idea what a selfstarter was. At first she was absorbed in trying to appreciate that she was actually automobiling in New York

with a rich young man, and she leaned back with the air of luxurious nonchalance she had seen wealthy women assume as they were driven along

Fifth Avenue. For a while the man

was so intent upon making his way safely through the crowded thoroughfares that he did not talk, and this suited nis companion just now. for she wanted time and quiet in which to appreciate the good luclc that was, as she phrased lt to herself, "coming her way." Meanwhile Julia was going through

her usual routine of work in Baird's department store. For hour after hour she stood behind the counter, trying to prevent her thoughts from straying. Yet, endeavor as she might to confine her reflections to the various kinds of laces and their prices per yard, the vision of Kelley Delaine as he had stood here yesterday would thrust itself upon her. She tried to be angry with him'; in fact, at times she would succeed in being indignant when- she remembered

what Caryl had told her about him. He had actually, Julia mused, had the audacity to come in here and ask her Caryl's sister to go to luncheon with him, when all the while in the bottom of his heart he knew he had

invited Caryl herself to accompany

him

both? If so, that was all right. Yet,

if that was the case, why had he not told each girl of hi6 plan? Perhaps he had intended to surprise them both. This possibility brought with it a little comfort. (More Tomorrow.)

and crimson in the moonlight. But that would not do at all. So the bride wept and the queen worried till she had to be laid in a lily-cup in a dead faint. Now the little caterpillar heard all

the trouble and was so sorry for the j dear, little bride. Suddenly an idea j came into his ugly head. Far down In a dark, damp, dirty hole was a beautiful cobweb spun by a spider whose threads were of silk. It was as thin as the mist of moonlight and ;

When your rugs are dull and grey and have lost their first beauty and brightness of color, it will do little good to beat them or to wash them with soap and water. Either of these operations leaves the rugs in a broken and crumpled condition and is much harder on them than a year of ordiary vear. Going over your rugs ju6t once with olsonite while they lay on the floor restore the colors, preserve the fibres and raise the nap. Olsonite is easy to use; just brush over the rug and wipe off that is all . They will look like new rugs.

Zemo for Dandruff

You do not want a slow treatment when hair is falling and the dandruff germ is killing the hair roots. Delay means no hair. Get, at any drug store, a bottle of zexao for 25c or $1.00 for extra large size. Use as directed, for it does the work quickly. It kills the dandruff germ, nourishes the hair roots and immediately stops itching scalp. It is sure and safe, is not greasy, is easy to use and will not stain. Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as they contain alkali. The best thing to use is zemo, for it is pure and also inexpensive. Zemo. Cleveland.
