She crossed her legs gracefully, exposing only the conventional amount of her pale colored silk stockings, and smoked thoughtfully, with an entire absence of self-consciousness or embarrassment. It was not long before Tuttle reappeared and told her that Detective Jspson of the police force would arrive in a few moments, and he thought there was no reason why she should not take possession of her brother's rooms that night.

At the'Hotel Majusaca, where they had all been guests, an inquiry is begun, after a doctor, perfunctorily examining him on the beach, pronounces him dead. Folsom's companions had been Roger Neville, Mrs. Helen Barnaby and Car-melita Valdon. It is established that Folsom, just before his death, had been standing ner.t to Ned Barron, who was one of a party including his wife, Madeline; Angelica Fair and her fiar.-i, Robin Sears, and his father, Croydon Sears. It is decided t» telegraph Folsom's tister, Anaiitasia, i:i New York. Then the star'ling.announcement is made that Folsom had been murdered in the ocean--stabbed to death. Ross, the dead man's valet, is questioned, as are Barron and his wife, but no light is shed on the mystery. Police take command of the situation until the arrival of Anastasia. They barn that Folsom and Neville had been business associates. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER X. "I'll find out," said Tuttle, hastily disappearing, for he dreaded further talk with the explosive personage who had invaded his quiet domain. And then Miss Folsom remembered ! her brother's man. He would be of ; help, surely. j "Where's Ross?" she demanded, rising suddenly and pouncing on a clerk at the desk. "Ma'am?" he responded, startled by her peremptory manner. "Ross--the valet of Mr. Garrett Folsom. Where is he? Get him at "Yes--yes, ma'am. I'll--I'll see about it--" "Don't see about it! Get him! Now --immediately!" But assistance expected quarter. Tubby, passing, heard the demand, and his quick mind leaped to the conclusion that hero was the sister of the dead man, and therefore a possible chance for services on his part that might bring welcome emolument. The Folsoms were rich, and the lady ther, vith banni rible >anied by a maid and fol lowed by a string of porters carrying her hand luggage, she strode up to the desk r.nd demanded the manager.

A, close, small hat of black Bengaline covered almost entirely her bobbed hair, which escaped in front in little curls of mingled black and •gray. Altogether, as to manner and garb, Miss Folsom was correct, but her face ■was of the type that has long had the reputation of interfering with the motive power of a timepiece. It was large and long. The high cheek bone was prominent, the nose, though undeniably aristocratic, was large and aquiline. The eyes were gray and glinting and darted about in angry impatience. And the mouth, a snapping, thin-lipped affair, prom- evidently ised unpleasant consequence to those "You, Miss Folsom?" he inq who incurred the lady's disapproval, with' his seraphic smile.

She was tall, heavy, and of manc'-'.ng presence. She would have bc?n ungainly, save lhat she possessed a certain air of sophisication and good breeding that was accentuated by her clothes.

"But, Miss Folsom," Tuttle implored, "pleats realize I can't do this thing in a minute. I will confer with the police, over the telephone, and if possible I will give you your brother's rooms to-night. But it will take a few minutes, at least. Will you be good enough to step in a reception room, until I can get the connection?" "No, I'll stay tflre. Get aboot it at once, Paxtori, you sit there." She indicated a nearby divan and the maid sat down. "Pile the bags there, and clear out," , Miss Folsom further ordered the laden porters, and then made a care-1 less gesture which, Paxton interpreted as an order to fee them as they ~"snt away. Looking about the gay scene in the great reception hall, the women in evening dress, the flowers and lights, Folsom gavo a sniff of bored disdain and held out her hand to the naid. Evidently used to silent orders Paxton opened a bag, and drew forth cigaret case, and as Miss Folsom took one and tapped it on the back of her hand the maid provided a lighted match. Calmed a little by the first whin's of nicotine, Miss Folsom sat down to 1 But Tubby was gone even before she finished speaking. And he returned in a very short time with the man in question. "Oh, Ross," and in her stress of em&'.ion, Miss Folsom grasped his hand. Isn't it awful! What shall we do?" "Awful, yes, ma'am," Ross agreed, keeping his poise and proper attitude, What do I care?" she cried, angrily. "Did I ever notice people, "But they notice you, ma'am, and it's not so good. I make no doubt you can go into one of the offices of the management--" "Of course I can! I can go where I like! But I prefer to stay here, r thought I'd see Mr. Neville before this--oh, there he is, now!" And even as she spoke, Roger Neville approached, holding out his hand in greeting. (To be continued.) HOW TELEPHOTO-GRAPHS ARE SENT I-- In taking the telephoto the persons about to be photographed are first required to discard their clothes and don c< the telephoto corporation. These tumes are of black fly netting. The subjects are then given a c< shellac and rolled in cracker dust, cornflakes and confetti. They are then placed in a group behind a lattice fence. The telephoto is now ready to be snapped. The telephoto camera is like an ordinary graflex, except that in place of a lens a tea strainer and disk of blue glass are used. Inside the camera we find an atomizer, an ejeetric battery, a wire spring and a strip of flannel undershirt. When the photographer presses the bulb an electric current releases the spring, which the strip of undershirt am atomizer to spray the immediate foreground with India ink. An assistant breaks a bag of flour over the head of each person being photographed, and through the exal haze the picture is taken. II-- The plates are then rushed to the power house and developed solution of sulphuric acid, vitriol and clam chowder. Prints are swiftly made at on© of the chain blacksmith shops maintained all over Europe for such emergencies. These prints porous plaster and sent to kgraph office by violet ray. III-- The superintendent at the telegraph office cute the print into small pieces and assigns four operators task of putting them' together again and making them right. Ultimately the operators shout, fe giive up!" and scatter the pieces over the floor. Then they opt up by the janitor, shuffled, placed in a package marked "Wrong Address" and sent to the telephone office, where the pieces of photograph bearing feet and arms are placed on one wire, those bearing legs and abdomens on another and those bearing chests and heads cn a third. In this way the pieces are phoned to the Azores, from which point they hop off to the United States. Arriving in an American newspaper office the pieces are assembled by intoxicated proofreaders and retouched by a kalsomlner with a touch of St. Vitus dance. IV-- After this there is nothing more to be done but to make copper plates and print them on Page One, the Ink for this occasion having been first mixed with motor oil, snuff and caviar. (NOTE--Eventually, of course, it will be possible for a telephotograph to come from Europe to America without stopping at the Azores. Large floating landing stations are to be established by the Government along the route traversed by telephoto-graphs, it is understood.--Ed.) A CHIC NEW FROCK.

Such harmonious accordance with the elements was an underlying necessity of her being. So with the secondary details of her construction. Every curve of speed and angle of strength, every spar, every stay, every rope, which made up the intricate tracery of her fabric aloft, had to be fashioned with one sole end in view --faithfulness to its function and to. the calls certain to be made upon it.

"A thing of beauty," the poet has said, "is a Joy forever." If it be so-- and who can doubt it?--there is little likelihood that sailing ships will soon be forgotten.

But in their g they have suffered an apotheosis, like that which befell the ;ed courses of Perseus. Passing from the oceans of the world, they have not passed beyond the ken of those who'set beauty above utility, nor is it in the waters of Lethe that their has set. A fairer fate has met them. On the happy seas of memory, by coasts of old renown, and flushed with the rainbow hues of the imagina-i, they rest secure--a thing of beauty inalienably, and a Joy for all time. In this excelling grace and fairness that was theirs, hero and not elsewhere, lies the fascination of clipper ships. Otho' criteria may condemn them, but this never. From an economic standpoint they have become obsolete In consequence of the superior efficiency of the steam-drivsn vessel. But from an aesthetic point of view the position is far otherwise. Who would be so hardly as to maintain that a steamer is more* beautiful, more a swaying vision of puro loveli-A-bs, than a white-winged Sou'-Spain-or, a-tiptoo on the blue rim of the world, with spray-bows bejewelling her track, and the winds of heaven a-frolic fn her sails? . . .
