uThe Love Pendulum" By MARION RUBINCAM
NEW COMPLICATIONS Chapter 41. I did not get up for breakfast next day until Win had "left for the office. Before, I always was up to say goodbye at least, and his farewell kiss always started the day happily for me. In retaliation. Win did not come in
at tea time though, as he had prom
ised. Colin came. Win came in time
to dress for dinner. We were dining j out that evening. j Sn more time passed. I continued ,
to play the game the way he wanted it played. I went everywhere, danced, played cards, stood endless hours at stupid receptions, gave parties at my place, ordered handsome gowns, motoredand now and then found time to see Mrs. Anderson. The layette had been completed, and the baby, a girl, was named Constance after me. She was an adorable child. I thought, blue-eyed and with the promise of golden hair. She was not a strong child and her mother, efficient and
clean as she was, did not know the best things to do for her. I began reading up on baby care, in odd moments when I was not eternally on the go, and at times when Win was not home. 1 called her "my baby" and Mrs. Anderson did not resent the suggestions and directions I made about her. Sometimes, bundled up in the arms of her sister, the baby went for a drive in my car; the clear air did her good. One day my aunt dropped in. She had spent most of the winter away and wanted me to go south with her, but I knew we could not afrord it, so 1 had refused. "I had a wireless from your father, he arrives tomorrow," she announced. "Tomorrow! I haven't heard from
him since ' "You eloped," Aunt Harriet finished ray sentence. "I haven't either, until a letter came this morning, an hour ahead of the wireless. It came on the boat ahead of the one he's on, a slow one. Your father waited to take the fastest ship trust him for that. He wired from the ship." "He did not write me". "He did not know where you were. It arrears he had started with a party
going to interior China. I'm sure he was bored to death. It's two months through Suez on the boat, and then two or three more in strange little boats drawn up the Chinese rivers. Men drag the boats along with ropes, he says, and they're usually full of missionaries the boats, I mean," for Win had started to laugh. "I'm sure I can't imagine what interest he has in interior China. Your father certainly was never intended for a missionary." But my father, it appeared, had taken a fancy to a young engineer who was commissioned by the Chinese government to build a great bridge over a river far inside the country. It had been an amazing trip from all he told us. of it. I met him at the dock, of course, scarcely expecting to recognize him it had been so long since I last saw him. But he looked not a day older. He was that sort, he would look a well preserved 40 until he was 80. "So you've married!" he greeted me. "Your aunt was not enthusiastic over the idea. She cabled me to come and
stop it as thoueh I could do anything!
from France. Besides I was aireaayj on my way to China when, the cable came, I got it months later. . Harriet, you look younger than ever." He kissed her too. "Much good you would have done if you'd been in New York," Aunt Harriet retorted, ignoring his compliment. "I always trust you implicitly! Why didn't you stop it?" Father almost always got the best of his sister. He was the only one that ever did. and she both hated and adored him for it.
"Stop it! I tried to, I hired a special train to get out to the ridiculous little town she insisted on living in. They eloped, a few hours before I got there."
"I'm glad to find that love is swifter than you, Harriet. I always thought you were the fastest thing in the
world when your mind wa3 made up. Lord, how mad you must have been!
I d have given my trip to China to
have seen your face when you arrived
and found the bira3 fled!"
"A man from that awful little town
"After all you took her to the awful little town, if I remember. I have a letter written when she was ill," his voice trailed off and he turned to look at me. We stared at each other, each one
seeking whatever change the years
had made. My father was very tall
eauiline nose on a lean face tanned by
the sun. He had brown hair and gray
eyes, he dressed to perfection and wore a queer emerald ring on his left hand. This brought out the slenderness of his rather white hands, and the delicacy of the finger tips and polished nails. He might have been the descendant of a long line of aristocrats; in fact, I think we did boast of some such thing in our family. "I rather like you as thin as you are," he observed. "Too much health is awfully bourgoise. I suppose I shall this new husband?"
"Tonight at dinner. I hope you'll
like him."
"My dear, I expect to dislike him enormously," he answered. "Harriet, your hat must be three weeks out of date. I brought over some things for
you both from Felice, one can always trust her taste. Her prices have gone up, she dresses royalty now, you know " In such fashion did my father's visit begin. Se he expected to hate Winthrop! Would he, I wondered? (Tomorrow A New Crisis.)
The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE ' Copyright, 1921, by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate,
Some three hours or so afterwards' we were all in the train together, bound from Reading to the little Berkshire village. There were Sherlock Holmes, the hydraulic engineer. Inspector Bradstreet, of Scotland Yard, a plain-clothes man, and myself. Bradstreet had spread an ordnance map of the county out upon the seat, and as busy with his compasses drawing a circle with Eyford for its centre. "There yau are," said he. "That circle is drawn at a radius of ten miles
from the village. The place we want
must be somewhere near that line. You said ten miles, I think, sir." "It was an hour's good drive."

"We have known tor some time that a clever gang was. at work," 6aid the inspector. "They have been turning out half-crowns by the thousand. We even traced them as far as Reading, but could get no farther, for they had covered their traces in a way that
showed that they were very old hands. But now, thanks to this lucky chance, I think that we have got them right enough." But the inspector was mistaken, for those criminals were not destined to fall into the hands of justice. As we rolled into Eyford Station we saw
. a gigantic . column of smoke wnicn
streamed up from behind a small clump of trees in the neighborhood, and hung like an immense ostrich feather over the landscape. "A house on fire?" asked Bradstreet, as the train steamed oft again on its way. "Yes. .sir!" said the station-master. "When did it break out?" "I hear that it was during the night, sir, but it has got worse, and the whole place is in a blaze." , "H'hoRA house is it?" "Dr. Becher's." ' i fll me." broke in the engineer, "is Dr. Becher a German, very thin, with a lona;, sharp noso?"
The station-master laughed heartily. "No,-sir. Dr. Becher is an cugiisum., and there isn't a man in the parish who has a better-lined waistcoat. Rut

you back all that way when you were j a patient, as I understand, who is a
sill of the second floor. About sunset, however, their effort were at last successful, and they subdued the flames, but not before the roof had fallen in, and the whole place been
reduced to such absolute ruin that, save some twisted cylinders and iron piping, not a trace remained of the machinery which had cost our unfortunate acquaintance so dearly. Large masses of nickel and of tin were discovered stored in an outhouse, but no coins were to be found, which may have explained the presence of those bulky boxes which
have been already referred to. How our hydraulic engineer had
been conveyed from the garden to
the spot where he recovered his senses might have remained forever a mystery were it not for the soft mould, which told us a very plain tale. He had evidently been carried down by two persons, one of whom had remarkably small feet and the other unusually large ones. On the whole, it was most probable that the silent Englishman, being less bold or less murderous than his companion, had as
sisted ths woman to bear the unconscious man out of the way of danger. ."Well," said our engineer ruefully, as we took our seats to return once more to London, "it has been a pretty business for me! I have lost my thumb and I have lost a fifty-guinea fee, and what have 1 gained?" "Experience." said Holmes, laughing. "Indirectly it may be of value, you know; you have only to put it into words to gain the reputation of
being excellent company for the re
mainder of your existence.

I, "is why they should have spared
you when they found you lyin
ing in the garden. Perhaps the villain was softened by the woman's entreaties." "I hardly think that likely. I never saw a more inexorable face in my life." "Oh, we shall soon clear up all that," said Bradstreet. "Well, I have drawn my circle, and I only wish I knew at what point upon it the folk

friend says that he did not notice the carriage go up any." "Come." cried the inspector, laughing; "it's a very pretty diversity of opinion. We have boxed the compass among us. Who do you give your casting vote to?" "You are all wrong." "But we canl all be." "Oh, yes, you can. This is my point'; he placed his finger in the centre of the circle. "This is where we shall find them." -"But the twelve mile drive?" gasped Hatherly.
"Six out and six back. Nothing

faint- buildina in front nf n5 ennntin? firp
at every' chink and window, while in the garden in front three fire-engines were vainly striving to keep the flames under. ' - "That's it!" cried Hatherly, in intense excitement. "There is the gravel-drive, and there are the rose-bushes where I lay. That second window is the one that I jumped from."
Well, at least," said Holmes, "you have had your revenge upon them. There can be no question that it was your oil lamp which, when it was crushed in the press, set fire to the wooden walls, though no doubt they were too excited in the chase after you to observe it at the time. Now keep your eyes open in this crowd for your friends of last night, though 1 very much fear that they are a good hundred miles off by now.' And Holmes's fears came to be realized, for from that day to this no word has ever been heard either of

German, or the morose Englishman. Early that morning a peasant had met a cart containing several people and

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of seventeen and will be a senior at high school next year. My father never would let me go with any boys and I have always had to refuse when they asked me to go somewhere. Now that I am seventeen I cannot see why it would be wrong. I went to a movie

shows that the hair is not in good
health, and hair must be healthy to have any natural gloss. The best way to make the hair glossy is to brush it, because the friction of the brush against the scalp is sufficiently stimulating to cause a healthy flow of oil through the hair. Of course the hair must be clean to be
I glossy, and it probably will be if it is i brushed enough, since the brush is cleansing.
And do not forget one little feature that I have talked about for a long time that of polishing the hair by putting a big piece of absorbent cotton
over the brush for the last 10 or 15 j I strokes. This absorbs much of the 1 1
extra oil on the surface of hair which is too oily, and it wipes off dust and dirt. It will make the hair look beautifully glossy and clean. There used to be great faith in the
