"Have gome papers here," Eaid my friend, Sherlock Holmes, as -we sat one winter's night, on either side of the fire, '"which I really think. Watson, that it would be worth your while to glance over. These are the documents in the extraordinary case of the Gloria Scott, and this is the message which ftruck Justice of the Peace Trevor dead with horror when he read it. . He had picked from a drawer a little tarnished cylinder, and undoing the tape, he handed me a short note scrawled' upon a a half-sheet of slategray paper. "The supply of game for London is

going steadily up," it ran. "Headkeeper Hudson, we believe, has been now told to receive all orders for flypaper and for preservation of your hen-pheasant's life." As I glanced up from reading this

enigmatical message, I saw Holmes chuckling at the expression upon my face. "You look a little bewildered," said he. "I cannot see how such a message as this could inspire horror. It seems to me to be rather grotesque than otherwise." "Veiy likely. Yet the fact remains that the reader, who was a fine, robust old man was knocked clean down by it as it it had been the butt end of a pistol." "You arouse my curiosity,' said I. "But why did you say just now that there were very particular reasons why I should study this case?"

"Because it was the first in which I

was ever engaged." I had often endeavored to elicit from

my companion what had first turned his mind in the direction of criminal research, but bad never caught him

before in a communicative humor. Now he sat forward in his arm-chair and spread out the documents upon his knees. Then he lit bis pipe and sat for some time smoking and turning them over. " - "You never heard me talk of Victor Trevor?" he asked. "He was the only friend I made during the two years I was at college. I was never a very sociable fellow, Watson, always rather fond of moping in my rooms and working out my own little methods of thought, 60 that I never mixed much with the men of my year. Bar fencing and boxing I had few athletic tastes, and then my line of study was quite distinct from that of the other fellows, so that we had no points of contact at all. Trevor was the only man I knew, and that only through the accident of his bull terrier freezing on to my ankle

one morning as I went down to chapel. "It was a prosaic way of forming a friendship, but it was effective. I was laid by the heels for 10 days, and Trevor used to come in to inquire after me. At first it was only a minute's chat, but 60on his visits lengthened, and before the end of the term we were close friends. He was a hearty, full-blooded fellow, full of spirits and energy, the very opposite to me in most respects, but we had some subjects in common, and it was a bond of union when I found that he was as friendless as I. Finally, he invited me down to his father's place at Donnithorpe, in Norfolk, and I accepted his hospitality for a month of the long vacation. . "Old Trevor was evidently a man of some wealth and consideration, a J. P., and a landed proprietor. Donnl-

thorpe is a little hamlet just to the north of Langmere, in the country of the Broads. The house was an oldfashioned, wide-spread, oak-beamed

brick building, with a fine lime-lined

avenue leading up to it. There was

excellent wild-duck shooting in the

fens, remarkably good fishing, a small

but select library, taken over, as I un

derstood, from a former occupant, and

a tolerable cook, so that he would be a fastidious man who could not put in

a pleasant month there.

"Trevor senior was a widower, and

my friend his only son. "There had been a daughter.

heard, but she had died of diphtheria

while on a visit to Birmingham. The

father interested me extremely. He was a man of little culture, but with a considerable amount of rude

strength, both physically and ments ally. He knew hardly any books, but

he had travelled far, had seen much

of the world, and bad remembered all that he had learned. In person he

was a thick-set, burly man with

bhock of frizzled hair, a brown, weath

er-beaten face, and blue eyes which

were keen to the verge of fierceness

Yet he bad a reputation for kindness

and charity on the leniency of his

sentences from the bench.

"One evening, shortly after my ar

rival, we were sitting over a glass of

COMPLETE

port after dinner, when young Trevor

began to talk about those habits of observation and inference which I had already formed into a system, although I had not yet appreciated the part which they were to play in my life. The old man evidently thought that his son was exaggerating in his description of one or two trivial feats which I had performed. "'Come, now Mr. Holmes.' said he, laughing good-humoredly. 'I'm an excellent subject, it you can deduce anything from me.' " 'I fear there Is not very much,' I

'answered; 'I might suggest that you

have gone about in fear of some personal attack within the last 12-month.' "The laugh faded from hla lips, and he stared at me in great surprise. " 'Well, that's true enough, said he.

Tfou know. Victor," turning to his son,

since then, though I have no idea how i you know it.' ! ".'You have a very handsome stick,' I answered. 'By the inscription I observed that you had not had it more than a year. But you have taken some pains to bore the head of it and pour melted lead into the hole so as to make it a formidable weapon. I argued that you would not take such precautions unless you had some danger to fear.' " 'Anything else?' he asked, smiling. "'You have boxed a good deal in your youth.' "'Right again. How did you know It? Is my nose knocked a little out of the straight?" " 'No," said I. 'It Is your ears. They

have the peculiar flattening and thickening which marks the boxing man." " 'Anything else?' " 'You have done a good deal of digging by your callosities." "'Made all my money at the gold fields.' ......

"You have been In New Zealand.'

'"Right again.' " 'You have visited Japan.'

" 'Quite true. " 'And you have been most intimately associated with some one whose initials were J. A., and whom you afterwards were eager to entirely forget "Mr. Trevor stood slowly up, fixed his large blue eyes upon me with a strange wild stare, and then pitched forward, with his face among the nutshells which strewed the cloth, in a dead faint.

however, that the other powers are

in no mood at this time to consider such a proposal. The governments of these nations do not share the view expressed by Dr. Edwards that "if ever there should come a time when-a nation could disarm without danger, it is now." Conditions Acute. They point to the fact that conditions in eastern Europe and in many

parts of Asia continue In an acute stage, and this situation is generally diagnosed as the result of racial hatreds stirred up by the unsatisfactory division of territories and the tracing of new lines in old boundry disputes set forth in the peace pact of Paris. The European powers are vitally effected by the disturbances in eastern Europe and in Asia Minor, and in the face of them they have no thought of complete disarmament. They are interested only in a limitation of armaments to a point where the burden of Japan Reluctant. taxation can be made less burdensome to their peoples. Japan will come to the Washington

She has been disturbed by - the reluctance shown by Great Britain to renew the treaty of alliance between the two countries, and she is far from satisfied that America's policy in the Pacific presents no threat to the island

' Cleopatra washed her . ; face this way She knew that thorough cleanliness was the surest means to beauty and she did this thorough cleansing with palm and olive oils. " Whatever the embellishments of her elaborate toilet, however much she called upon cosmetics to increase her beauty thorough cleansing was the ceremony never neglected, as the ruins of her sumptuous bath are mute testimony.

Foretell a younj man' s future by his palm, but read a girl's fortune in her face. A skin which is fresh, smooth and alluring with the radiance of health, predicts a happy future, because this is the greatest of all womanly charms. If you are not satisfied with your complexion if it is lifeless and sallow and disfigured with little blemishes begin at once to remedy these defects. Every girl can have a beautiful, attractive skin if she will only learn to give it proper care. Begin by waking your skin up If your skin is sluggish and inactive (through a constant application of cold creams and lotions, powder and rouge), begin to stimulate the thousands of tiny skin cells and glands which make up the surface of the skin and secrete oil and perspiration. These secretions quickly clog the pores, coarsening and enlarging them. Dirt accumulates and makes blackheads and other blemishes. Thorough cleansing once a day prevents this condition and keeps the complexion fresh and smooth. Cold cream is beneficial when applied to a clean skin, and rouge and powder are harmless beautifiers. But start fresh every day on a clean foundation. Keep your skin active and it will be clear, fresh, youthful and attractive. ' Of course you must use mild soap Soap, to be thorough, need not be harsh; this - is a mistaken idea. The mildest facial soap made is the most thorough of all cleansers, as you will . know after you once try Palmolive. Its mildness and thoroughness are both due to the same cause to the scientific blending of

palm and olive oils, the natural cleansers discovered in ancient Egypt. The combination produces a lotion-like lather, mild, profuse and creamy, which does its work without the slightest trace of irritation. If your skin is very oily, Palmolive, makes it feel delightfully soft and smooth. Rinse thoroughly and use a little cold cream. If your skin is very dry rub in some cold cream before you begin washing. This supplies the lack of natural oil and keeps it smooth. A 10-cent soap The luxury of Palmolive is a gift of modern science which ancient beauties never enjoyed. Their luxurious oils are blended in a wonderful combination which produces the finest facial soap the world has ever known. Science, while perfecting quality, has also reduced the price, with the help of millions of users who keep the Palmolive factories working night and day. The great demand also allows economy in the purchase of the costly ingredients in vast volume. Result, the practical 10-cent price which puts Palmolive within the reach of all. Palmolive is enough Why use other soaps for bathing when Palmolive costs no more and is the most delightful luxury? You can afford to enjoy it for every toilet purpose.
