A curious crowd of neighbors invade the mysterious home ot Judge Ostrander, county Judge and eccentric recluse, fol­ lowing a veiled woman who has gained entrance through the gates of the high double barriers surrounding the place.

Miss Weeks explains to him what has occurred during his eeiiure. He secretly discovers the Whereabouts of the veiled woman. Leav­ ing his guarded house at night, he goes through Dark Hollow to the Claymore Inn to visit her. CHAPTER HI--Continued. Meanwhile Judge Ostrander was looking about him for Mrs. Yardley. The quiet figure of a squat little body blocked up a certain doorway. "I am looking for Mrs. Yardley," he Ventured. The little figure turned; he was con­ scious of two very piercing eyes being raised to his, and heard In shaking ac­ cents, which yet were not the accents of weakness, the surprised ejacula­ tion: "Judge Ostrander!" Next minute they were together In a small room, with the door shut be­ hind them. The energy and decision of this mite of a woman were surpris­ ing. "I was going--to you--in the morn­ ing--" she panted in her excitement "To apologize," she respectfully fin­ ished. "Then," said he, "it was your child Who visited my house today?" She nodded. Her large head was somewhat disproportioned to her short and stocky body. But her glance and manner were not nnpleasing. There was a moment of silence which she hastened to break. "Peggy is very young; it was not her fault. She Is so young she doesn't know where she went She was found loitering around the bridge--a dan­ gerous place' tor a child, but we've "been very busy all day--and she was found there and taken along by--by the other person. I hope that you •will excuse it, sir." What he had to say came with a.de­ cided abruptness. "Who is the woman, Mrs. Yardley? That's what I have come to learn, and not to complain of your child." The answer struck him very strange­ ly, though he saw nothing to lead him to distrust her candor. "I dont know, Judge Ostrander. She calls herself Averill, but that doesn't make me sure of her. You wonder that I should keep a lodger about whom I, have any doubts, but there are times when Mr. Yardley uses his own judgment, and this Is one of the times. The woman pays well and 'promptly," she added in a lower tone. "Her status? Is she maid, wife or •widow?" "Oh, she says she Is a widow, and I see every reason to believe her." • slight grimness in her manner, the smallest possible edge to her roice, led the judge to remark: "Pretty?" "Not like a girl, sir. She's old 'enough to show fade; but I don't be­ lieve that a man would mind that She lhas a look--a way, that even women feel. You may judge, sir, if we, old i stagers at the bnsiness, have been Iwiliing to take her in and keep her, 'at any price--a woman who won't show her face except to me, and who will not leave her room without her veil and then only for walks in places 'where no one else wants to go--she i must hare some queer sort of charm 'to overcome all scruples. But she's gone too far today. She shall leave the inn tomorrow. I promise you that, sir, whatever Samuel says. But 'sit down; sit down; you look tired, judge. Is there anything you would like? Shall I call Samuel?" "No. I'm not not much used to walk- 'lng. Besides, I have had a great loss today. My man, Bela--" Then with h!» former abruptness; "Have you no idea who this Mrs. Averill is, or why *he broke into my house?" "There's but one explanation, sir. I've been thinking about it ever since I got wind of where she took my Peggy. The woman is not responsible. 8he has some sort of mania. Why else should she go into a strange gate Just because she saw it open?" "You speak of her as a stranger. Are you quite sure that she is a stranger to Shelby? You have not been so very many years here, and her constant wearing of a veil Indoors and out is very suspicious." "So I'm beginning to think. And FIRST WOMAN TO GET STATUE OODD.A\EAP <^> CXDMPAMi/ there Is something else, Judge, which makes me suspect yon may be quite correcf about her not being an entire stranger here. She knows thk house too well." The judge started. The strength of his self-control had relaxed a bit and he showed in the look he cast about him what it had cost him to enter these doors. "It is not the same, of course," con­ tinued Mrs. Yardley, affected in a pe­ culiar way by the glimpse she had caught of the other's emotion, unnatu­ ral and incomprehensible as it ap­ peared to her. "The place has been greatly changed, but there is a cer­ tain portion of the old house left which only a person who knew it as It originally was would be apt to find; and yesterday, on going into one of these remote rooms I came upon her sitting in one of the windows locking out How ehe got there or why she went I cannot tell you. She didn't choose to tell me, and I didn't ask. But I've not felt real easy about her since." "Excuse me, Mrs. Yardley, It may be a matter of no moment, but do you mind telling me where this room is?" "It's on the top floor, sir; and It looks out over the ravine. Perhaps she was spying out the path to your house." The judge's face hardened. He felt bafflbd and greatly disturbed; but he spoke kindly enough when he again addressed Mrs. Yardley: "I am as ignorant as yon of this woman's personality and of her rea­ sons for intruding into my presence this morning.' But there is something so peculiar about this presumptuous attempt of hers at an interview that I feel impelled to inquire into it more fully, even if I have to approach the only source of information capable of giving me what I want--that is, her­ self. Mrs. Yardley, will you procure" me an immediate interview with this woman? I am sure that you can be relied upon to do this and to do it with caution. You have the counte­ nance of a woman unusually discreet/' The subtle flattery did its work. She was not blind to the fact that he "Have You No Idea Who This Mr*. Averill Is?" had introduced It for that very pur­ pose, but it was not in her nature to withstand any appeal from so exalted a source, however made. Lifting her eyes fearlessly to his, she responded earnestly: "I am proud to serve you. I will see what I can do. Will you wait here?" Judge Ostrander had just time to brace himself to meet the unknown when the door fell back and the wom­ an of the morning appeared In the opening. CHAPTER IV. Unveiled. On the instant he recognized that no common Interview lay before him. She was still the mysterious stranger, and she etill wore her veil--a fact all the more impressive that it was no longer the accompaniment of a hat, but flung freely over her bare head. He frowned & Monument Was Erected Fifty Years Ago to a Brave Colonial Dame. Admiring friends of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson are planning a memorial. Somebody suggests that this take the form of * statue--"the first statue of a woman to be reared in thiB coun­ try." Only a few weeks after Nordlca's death. It was said that a statue should be erected to the memory of that sweet singer. On that occasion it was also said that it would be the first statue to a woman in America. But 217 years ago another Ameri­ can woman did something which not only deserved a statue, but got It Haven't you ever heard of Hannah Dustin?

She was destitute From a captive white boy she learned how to kill a human being with a single stroke of a tomahawk. So one night she and the lad slew ten sleeping Indians, scalped them, and fled back through the wilderness to their home. Hannah Dustin carried the ten scalps to the governor of Massachu­ setts, and she received $250 for them.

"This is very good of you. Judge Ostrander," she remarked, la a voice both cultured and pleasant. "I could hardly have hoped tor this honor. Such consideration shown to a stranger ar­ gues a spirit of unusual kindliness. Or perhaps I am mistaken in my sup­ position. Perhaps I am no stranger to you? Perhaps you know my namef "Averill? No." She paused, showing her disappoint­ ment quite openly. Then drawing up a chair she leaned heavily on its back, saying in low, monotonous tones from which the former eager thrill had de­ parted: "I see that the Intended marriage of your son has made very little Impres­ sion upon you." Aghast for the moment, this was such a different topic from the on* he expected the judge regarded her In silence before remarking: "I have known nothing of it My son's concerns are no longer mine. If you have broken into my course of life for no other purpose than to dis­ cuss the affairs of Oliver Ostrander, I must beg of you to excuse me. i have nothing to eay in his connection to you or to anyone." "Is the breach between you so deep as that? I entreat--but no, you arc a Just man; I will rely upon your sense of right If your son's happiness fails to appeal to you, let that of a young and Innocent girl, lovely as few are lovely, either in body or mind." "Yourself, madam?" No, my daughter! Oliver Ostrander has done us that honor, sir. He had every wish and had made every prepa­ ration to marry my child, when-- Shall I go on?" "You may." It was shortly said, but a burden seemed to fall from her shoulders at its utterance. Her whole graceful form relaxed swiftly into its natural curves, and an atmosphere of charm from this moment enveloped her, which justified the description of Mrs. Yardley, even without a sight of the features she still kept hidden. "I am a widow, sir." Thus ehe be­ gan with studied simplicity. "With my one child I have been living In De­ troit these many years--ever since my husband's death, in fact We ar$ not unliked there, nor have we lacked re­ spect When some six months ago your son, who stands high in every one's regard, as befits his phrentage and hie varied talents, met my daugh­ ter and fell seriously in love with her, no one, so far as I know, criticized his taste or found fault with his choice. I thought my child safe. And she was safe, to all appearance, up to the very morning of her marriage--the marriage of which you say you had received no intimation though Oliver seems a very dutiful son." "Madam!"--The hoarseness of his tone poselbly increased its peremptory character--"T really must ask yon to lay aside your veil." It was a rebuke and she felt It to be so; but though she blushed from behind her veil, she did not remove it. "Pardon me," she begged, and very humbly, "but I cannot yet Let me reveal my secret first. Judge Ostran­ der, the name under which I had lived In Detroit was not my real one. I had let him court and all but marry my daughter, without warning him in any way of what this deception on my part covered. But others--one other, I have reason now to believe--had de­ tected my Identity under the altered circumstances of my new life, and surprised him with the news at that late hour. We are--Judge Ostrander, you know who we are. ' This is not the first time you and I have seen each other face to face." And, lifting up a hand, trembling with emotion, she put aside her veil. You recognize me?" "Too well." The tone was deep with meaning, but there was no accusation In It; nor was there any note of relief. It was more as if some hope deeply, and perhaps unconsciously cherished, had suffered a sudden and complete extinction. "Put back your velL" Trembling, she complied, murmul^- lng as she fumbled with its folds: "Disgrace to an Ostrander! I know that I was mad to risk it for a mo­ ment. Forgive me for the attempt, and listen to my errand. Oliver wae willing to marry my child, even after he knew the shame it would entail. But Reuther would not accept the sacrifice. Judge Ostrander, I am not worthy of such a child, but such she is. If John--" "We will not speak his name," broke in Judge Ostrander, assuming a per­ emptory bearing quite unlike his for­ mer one of dignified reserve. "I should like to hear, instead, your explanation of how my son became inveigled into an engagement of which you, if no one else, knew the preposterous na­ ture." "Judge Ostrander, you do right to blame me. I should never have given my consent, never. But I thought our past so completely hidden--our iden­ tity so entirely lost under the accepted name of Averill." "You thought!" He towered over her In his anger. He looked and acted CURE FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE as In the old days, when witnesses cowered under his eye and voice. "Say that you knew, madjun; that you planned this unholy trap for my son.*' "Judge Ostrander, I did not plan their meeting, nor did I at first en­ courage hie addresses. Not till I saw the extent of their mutual attachment did I yield to the event and accept the consequences. But I was wrong, wholly wrong to allow him to visit her a second time; but now that the mischief is done--" Judge Ostrander was not listening. "I have a question to put you," said he, when he realised that she had ceased speaking. "Oliver was never a fool. When he was told who your daughter was what did he say of the coincidence which made him the lover of the woman against whose father hie father had uttered sentence of death? Didn't he marvel and call it extraordi­ nary--the work of the devllf* "Possibly; but if he did It was not In any conversation he had with me." "And your daughter?

"You are at liberty to. I have list­ ened to much and can well listen to a little more." "Judge, she Is of a very*affecticnate nature, and her appreciation of your son's virtues is very great.

Average Woman «f MMdle Age Will Find It Hard to Wear the Coming / Style*--One of the New •: Picture Hats.- , Although the outline of the moment cannot be said to be "early Victorian," because of the generous dimensions of the waist, it is yet true that from the waist down the newest outline recall* the quaint fashions which were in vo­ gue when the great Queen Victoria was a young girl. There is the same very short, and very full skirt and--more often than not--the same shapeless coatee which opeiu in front over a little lace or tulle chemisette. It may be said at once that the gowns of the immediate future will be exceedingly attractive when worn by Just the right girl or woman,, but It Is hard to see how they can be made possible for the average woman of thirty-five or forty. Of course, it Is true that our dress­ makers are clever at arranging and al­ tering existing styles to suit individual forms, but at the same time the fact remains that a very short, full skirt can never look really well on a stout figure.

The important point is that the trim­ ming should be quite small, but uneom- *1 Can Well Listen to a Little Mors.* a very vague one. It Is only to be expected that she should wonder how you could live so long without a visit from Oliver." His lips took a strange twist There was self-contempt in It, and some other very peculiar and contradictory' emotion. But when this semblance of a smile had passed it was no longer Oliver's father she saw before her, but the county's judge. Even his tone partook of the change as he dryly re­ marked : "What you have told me concerning your daughter and my son is very in­ teresting. But it was not for the simple purpose of informing me that this untoward engagement was at an end that you came to Shelby. You have another purpose. What is It? I can remain with you just five min­ utes longer." Five minutes! It only takes one to kill a hope, but five are far too few for the reconstruction of one. But she gave no sign of her secret doubts, as she plunged at once into her sub­ ject. "I will be brief," said she; "as brief as any mother can be who is pleading for her ^daughter's life as well as hap­ piness. Reuther has no real ailment but her constitution is abnormally weak, and she will die of thiB grief if some miracle does not save her.

Watch out for velvet ribbons. They are to be used very freely this spring and summer for dress trimmings. Also be on the lookout for taffeta ribbons in narrow styles not over an Inch and one-half wide with corded edges and rather thin texture. These will be broadly used and espe­ cially smart in the new colorings. In the millinery field, the vogue for ribbon trimmings will follow that which now exists for vegetable trim­ mings.

The new spring dresses represent change In silhouette, crlspness of ma­ terials and novelty in designs. As the season advances the skirts are growing wider and wider, having already reached the three-and-one-half-yard width. The normal and the high waist line are both seen. Coat dresses include military effects, bolero Jackets and various Dutch, Rus­ sian and peasant effecta, suggesting the coat in the bodice of the dress.
