Wade Is ar­ rested. Mrs. LeGrange, who, while plying her tra<te as a trance medium, had aided Police Inspector Martin McGee several times, examines the house where Han- • ska vu killed and finds on the fire es­ cape outside Hanska's window a red shoe ^button, which she conceals. Mrs. Le- Grange pretends to go into a trance in Miss Esfrilla's room and communes with spirits. Rosalie finds evidence to show that Eatrilla's real name Is Perez and that th>\v formerly lived in Port of Spain. In succeeding seances Rosalie leads Miss Rstrilla to believe she is talkihg with the «p!r1t of John Hanska.

She says a that Juan, dressed in her clothes, entered Hknska's room to search for the jewels, that Hanska awoke and rushed at the in­ truder who picked up a knife from the table to threaten Hanska. She declares Hanska. in his rage, was suddenly strick­ en with apoplexy and fell upon the knife, which pierced his heart.

He suddenly realizes that he loves Rosalie. He asks her to marry him and she accepts. CHAPTER XX. fc£V.' Taking Stock. ^'How'e this head-line for that stock- 'fng Job?" asked Tommy North, sud­ denly looking up from his writing, •"Mountain Climbers Wear Our Hose And Come Back Without a Hole'?" "Pretty good," replied Betsy-Barbara from her corner by the typewriter. "Now get the rest of it." She resumed iMr furious little stabs at the keys. The sudden conclusion of the Han- «ka case left Betsy-Barbara afloat. She could not go back to Arden if she would, and she would not if she could. It was her whim to remain in New Yerk; but the select young ladies' seminaries of the metropolis hesitated to employ a young woman who had fig­ ured so consistently on the front pages of yellow newspapers. Between trips in search of employment, Betsy-Bar- toara continued to typewrite the corre­ spondence of the Thomas W. North Agency. Tommy, indeed, had offered lier regular employment as his clerk. She spurned that ofTer, holding it to l>e mere (p-atitude. When she had learned the trade, she said, she might accept a position as typist, and not minute before. Tommy, unruffled by her business­ like reminder, continued to view Betsy- Barbara. Presently the pencil dropped from his hand. He turned in hiB Swivel chair and called: "Betsy-Bar- Imra!" in a tone wholly inappropriate to office hours. Being a woman, she caught it. 4*Tommy North," she saijl, without looking up from the keys, "read me that motto over your desk!" ""Business Thoughts ih Business ; : Hours,'" read Tommy, obediently. "Well, what does that meant" asked, Iffft tHetsy-Barbara. ' t "But what I meant to talk about ' . ^ow," replied Tommy in a wheedling P?/• *one, "ts a matter of business.

"Well," replied Betsy-Barbara, "a tract of a preacher might have done that--anything which Nset you on the right way at the right time. And you „ wouldn't think of offering a partner- 0fi,<diip to a tract or a prcacher." ' "Betsy-Barbara!" called Tommy again. And on that name, uttered all too gently for the address of a stem employer to an inexpert stenographer, lie rose and crossed to her side. Some­ how she did not protest--altytiugh she continued to look down on the keys. Sler fingers stopped. Tommy gulped; and his first words, BSfS • !P j m:- H B* &T-:, £y?:s • * t to fw settled on the stool at her side, were far from his original intention-- and further still from strict business. "Betsy-Barbara--why did jou play around with that poor devil of an Es- trllla?" "If I wanted to be impertinent, I'd ask how that concerns you," replied Betsy-Barbara, saucily. "Well--be­ cause I liked him, I suppose." "Do you remember," Tommy pur­ sued, "the last time I got drunk--the last time I ever will?" 'The shoe-buckle night? Yes. do get swell attention in a lobster pal­ ace." Inspector McGee, In his dinner coat and his diamonds, eat In the preferred corner farthest from the music. Rosa­ lie, reigning opposite in two thousand dollars' worth of diamonds, eight hun­ dred dollars' worth of clothes, three hundred dollars' worth of massage, and a hundred dollars' worth of hair- dressing and hat, followed with smiling eyes a wave of agitation which ran from waiter to waiter until it broke at j the door, in a spray of Italian-Swiss You never knew why, of course!" French gestures, against the head wait- said Tommy. "Do you romember some one coming into the front hall and going right out again? That was L You were sitting--I saw you look­ ing at him--I thought--" "You didn't think right," responded Betsy-Barbara. She paused while th£ truth in her struggled againBt woman's instinct to use strategy in that branch of human activity which is woman's chief business. The truth won. "That's funny. You saw me when I was nearer--well, liking him--than I ever was before or after. He was a dear. You couldn't help being amused and flattered by him--but nothing else." "Why didn't you like him, really-- what held you back?" Betsy-Barbara pulled over the car­ riage for another line--not with a jerk this time, but slowly and softly. At the same languid pace, she resumed striking the keys. "Do you call this business?" she asked--but very weakly. Tommy North laid a band upon hers, stilling the keys under her fingers. "Betsy-Barbara, thie is business. I was talking partnership. I didn't m£an that kind. You know--oh, blazes I meant--why did I brace up and go to work, anyhow? It was because-- you--I love you--there, that's out!" Betsy-Barbara, her hand still help­ less between the keys and his greater hand, raised her face. If she had shone before with elfin light, she shone now with the light of many angels. The eheen and glitter of her hair, the fire of her eyes, the sparkle of her little teeth behind her parted lips--all the glory which makes stars A. J>* i fi "Betsy Barbara!' and systems and beasts and the gen­ erations of men--illuminated and transformed Betsy-Barbara. An in­ stant so, and that light faded. The elfin light shone again. And-- "Tommy North," she said, "are yon proposing to me right in business hours? (Jet back to your seat! Your answer will be transmitted to yoa in business form." There was hope and, yet wonder* ment in Tommy's face M he obeyed. Betsy-Barbara tweaked the sheets from the roller, inserted a new page, and began to type very fast--for her. She finished. She was suffused with color as she drew out the page and laid it on Tommy's desk. He turned to read; and Betsy-Barbara's h^nd brushed his cheek ever so lightly, "mR ThomasWNorth; "dear sir; "Your pro positiin Is accept? ed and 1 trust that the ensnig partner­ ship will be long atiu prosperous "yurs sincerelly "EllzabethLane."

Caressing cheek and neck, the rope was looped down to the corsage, where it wandered about in a most capricious way, enhancing the folds and frills of the frock across the bust. The woman who wore her pearls in this way had also another long loop rope about her neck. This hung to her knees. 'Needless to say this vogue for lav­ ish use of pearl rope could be indulged in by only a few women if the real article were used in their make-up. But imitation pearls come now so per­ fect, not only in color and sheen but also in weight, that often a most ex­ pert gem appraising eye would be de­ ceived by them. "No gem is so generally becoming as the pearl. It betautifies a beautiful woman and does not mock at the luck of beauty in a plain woman, as other stones do. It treats a poor complexion with such kindness that somehow the complexion brightens to a near ap­ proach to beauty by its exquisite touch.

It was frightful, terrific, the head waiter re­ plied. Some one must suffer. Inspec­ tor McGee might never come again. Some morning after hours the bar would be raided. Mache! Accidente! When McGee had condescended to accept apologies, he resumed to Rosa­ lie: "I dont even have to pay for my New Year's eve table reservations. That's what it is--being a cop!" Rosalie dropped her pink right hand on her pinker left one, and fell to playing with a new diamond solitaire that dimmed for size and luster all her other jewels. Her dimples threw back an answering flash. "Enjoy it while you can, Marty," she said. "It won't be long." Even yet, Inspector McGee reflected, Rosalie Le Grange had surprises for him. He did not realize, for he was no seer of the future, that she would be giving him just such surprises all his life long. "What's new with jrou this time?" he inquired, smiling indulgently. Nothin' with me," replied Rosalie, "only I'm breakin' the news to you. Inspector is as high up as a policeman can get. Your days on the force are numbered, Martin McGee. An' I haven't made up my mind yet," she added, dimpling now not on the dia­ monds, but on him, "whether, to make you Democratic boss of the state sen­ ate, or just leader of Tammany hall!" • * • • • * • That day was raw November, with, a wet sticky suggestion of rain in the air. From the colonial piazza where Constance stood, waiting, the grounds rolled away cold and naked to the great double gate. A cluster of bare elms hid the farther reaches of the walk from her view. He who was com­ ing would approach unobserved until he was almost upon her. In the whirl and perturbation of her spirit, she found herself thankful for that What­ ever happened, it would come sndden- ly- Rosalie Le Grange and every one else most vitally concerned in the Wade-Hanska case had considered it best that she, the. too-romantic heroine of these events, should be in hiding when Lawrence Wade came out of the Tombs, a free man. One must con­ sider the newspapers--always the newspapers, with their photographers, their special writers, their insistence on the "human interest" features of the celebrated case. So even before Captain McGee flashed to the head­ quarters reporters that Margarita Pe­ rez, detained in the criminal ward at JBellevue hospital, was the solvent of the Hanska case, Rosalie removed her secretly to this friendly country place near Arden. Days followed in which the reporters tracked Lawrence Wade at all hours in order to discover him in the act of meeting Constance. In that period, he scarcely dared write, lest the address on an envelope might be­ tray her whereabouts. Now, In the general march of events, the Interest in the Hanska caBe had become dull. And today, in this very hour, he was coming--with what message on his lips ? In the distance sounded the whistle of a locomotive; a column of white ijuioke rose above the bare trees. She glanced at the watch on her wrist. This was his train. In five minutes he Would emerge to view from behind that clump of treee. In five minutes, she would know. Was it honor with him--or was it something else? How far he would go for honor's sate, she knew best of all. It was like him to refuse the consola­ tion of her love at a time when a ten­ der from him might mean only shame for her. But did he love her still? Sup­ pose that she had become to him only the Incarnate symbol of his trouble? Suppose that the thought of her, now, only renewed those meditation# on shameful death which must have haunted his nights in prison? Such loses none of lts simplicity of tone if pearls are worn with it.

They may be worn at the most formal occasion and add to the festiveness of attire." things, she knieir, Hafl happened---must happen. A step.crackled on the dried leaves about the turn of the path. Prom about one of the bare brown trunks appeared a man's figure. And at the sight, a very calm of Indifference settled over the spirit of Constance. So the de­ votee who has anticipated the sacra­ ment through nights and days of rap­ tures finds herself, as the priest ap­ proaches, without a ripple of emotion; so the coward, who has shivered through eternitieB'of agony at the thought of the ax, finds himself in­ capable of thought or feeling or action in the presence of the headsman. She simply leaned against the pillar, her soul as blank as her eyes. His step quickened as he perceived her, but he said no word. Now he had come so close that he might almost touch her; and she, still leaning against the iilllar, moved neither hand nor tongue nor eye. • He stood elose be­ side her on the piazza and-- ' V- 1 "Forever!!" he said. 6 Constance swayed forward Into tils outstretched waiting arms.

Newport, as all the world knows, is getting more and more overrun with the nouveaux riches. The nouveaux riches are buying up the finest es­ tates, and the old and exclusive New* port families are retiring to more iso­ lated resorts. Alfred G. Vanderbllt, at one of his dinners at his luxurious Newport farm, said of a nouveaux riche who was assuming an extraordinary dis­ dain for all things common and plebeian: "This chap's way of turning up his nose reminds me of a groom of mine who used to say: " 'Keep yer eye on what a man turns up his nose at, and ye'Q' know what he's been raised on.'"

By carefully counting the number of vibrations to a*minute one c*n tell accurately what the tempera­ ture is. The hotter the evening the more rapidly they play their sharp little Instruments and, as the days shorten and the nights become cooler, their waves of sound have greater dis* tances between them until when a frost is threatened only now and then, one more enterprising than the rest keeps up a forlorn hope of sound. Why they are moved to join nature's great orchestra is a problem no one can answer. It would seem to be hard work to rub their wings together so assiduously; it must be wearing on the corrugated little veins. Prob­ ably they can't help it; "it is their nature to." They are children of the'darkness; nothing 1b heard of them In the day­ time, but they make up for their si­ lence by their obstreperous tumult when the mercury climbs into the nineties. Much Qood In Laughter. "Laugh and grow fat,' is the popu­ lar maxim which is often quoted to pessimists, and some interesting re­ marks on the value of laughter were made by Dr. W. McDougall\at one of the recent meetings of the British as­ sociation. The doctor defined laugh­ ter as Nature's protection against the sympathetic processes. "We often laugh," he said, "at the ihlnor misfor­ tunes of other people, In order not to be driven to tears by them. Our nat­ ural inclination in face of calamities befalling other people Is to feel de­ pressed. In order that this depres­ sion may not prove too overwhelming in its effects Nature sets up a demand that we shall laugh instead.

SICK HORSE GOES TO DOCTOR ' :-- . 1 Breaks Out of Its Stable lit Great Haste, to Get Metjifli! v ^ Treatment. Mascoutah, 111.--Here is a striking instance or horse sense vouched for by Dr. R. C. Lew, a veterinary sur­ geon, and F. KisBel, a farmer, both of Mascoutah, '111. Kissel's home is three-quarters of a mile from Dr. Lew's. After the horse had done a hard day's work Kissel put it in the stable at night and locked the door. At 3 a. m. the next morning Dr. Lew heard a noise in his yard. He went out and found Kissel's hores ap­ parently in great pain. He diagnosed the animal's ailment as colic and gave him prompt treatment. If the horse had not gone to the one place where it could be treated It would have died before morning. Dr. Lew said. After saving the horse's life Dr. Lew re­ called that it had been taken to hit home, suffering with colic, about 1 month ago. The following morning Kissel found that the horse had kicked the door of the stable and knocked down a fence in its haste to get to the horse doctor. Dr. Lew and Kissel believe the horse remembered its former visit to the horse doctor and knew that was the place to go when it had colic. _ Important to Mothers $1 . .v Examine carefully every bottle of '• CASTORLA, a safe and sure remedy for f t-. .r Infants and children, and seo that it Bears the Signature of 1 ^rf ~ / In Use For Over 30 Years C&iiidren Cry for Fletcher's Castoria Had It the Night Before.

Examination then disclosed that the appendix was on the left side and unaffected, that the heart was on the right side, the right lung where the left should be and vice versa, and liver, kidneys and other organs just opposite where they be­ longed. But she carried out her prin­ cipal tasks with the right hand, it was noted, and hence the question: "la she right-handed or left-handed?"

"A friend advised me to try Grape- Nuts food, praising it highly and as a last resort, I tried it I am thankfti to say that Grape-Nuts not only re> lieved me of my but built me up and strengthened my digestive or gans so that I can now eat anything I desire.
