Again footst "le entrance , Markham- Money is scarce yet she has pretty clothes "You always look as if you had just stepped out of a fashion sheet. Yet money is none too plentiful with you. How do ycj do it?" the neighbors were always asking Mrs. Burnette. One day fehe told them. "My secret of pretty clothes is simple. When my dresses, blouses and underthings become faded with much washing, I renew their color beauty by a simple rinsing in Diamond Tints. These wonderful tints ire made by the makers of Diamond Dyes which you know are the best dyes made for dark colors. Diamond Tints are for light shades. They need no boiling and they last through repeated launderings. All you need to do is to rinse your things in Diamond Tints. You can get such lovely shades by using them. So you see," said Mrs. Burnette, "pretty clothes are as easy for you to have as for me."

Doing Good by Stealth Residents of and visitors to New York lave recently been granted a unique privilege. The Acto-s' Dinner Club has now opened its hospitable 3 not only to actors, prosperous and reedy alike, but also to the great i from which audiences spring. The charm of tat restaurant is the fact that amid pleasant surroundings, t*. the accompaniment of an excellent r.iner, the casual visitor may hobnob ?nth r>tage and screen celebrities. But the club has still another reason for its existence. It helps the un-!irployed actor ' y the simple method )f not charging the jobless actor for his dinner; of charging the actor who afford it fifty cents, while employed stage people and visitors pay $1. Er~ch guest receives exactly the same sort of ticket, ,o no one knows who has not paid for his dinner. The club grev, out of a suggestion made by one of t> group who were discussing the economic situation and its effect on the theatro. The actors agreed that there should be som? place where unemployed actors could be supplied with food as guests. The club has now served 75,000 meals, of which 45,000 have been given free, during its twenty-five weeks of existence, and has had to move to larger quarters. The venture is now considered one of tha most successful in the field. Says the executive director of the club: 'The actor has n. ^er appealed to anyone outsida his profession xor aid. He has always been the first, without being asked, to offer his services to others in any tim > of difficulty or disaster. In his present economic situation his fellow professional.? have volunteered their aid to him. If your brother lost his job and found himself in straits, you wouldn't hesitate to invite him to dinner as often as h desired to come, would you? That' what we are doing."

When the cook had left us Vance 'Something tells me, Markham, th Ada could have no better protector this house than that motherly German. And yet," he added, "there'll be of this grim carnage until we have the murderer safely gyved." His face darkened: his mouth was as cruel as Pietro de' Medici's. "This hellish busi-isn't ended. The final picture is only just emerging. And it's damnable -worse than any of the horrors ->f }ps or Dore." Markham nodded with dismal depression. 'Yes, there appears to be an inevitability about these tragedies that's beyond mere hu.nan power to combat.' He got up wearily ana addressed him-to Heath. "There's nothing more .n do here at present, Sergeant. Carry on, and phone me at the office before 5." e were about to take our departure whan Captain Jerym arrived. He a quiet, heavy set man, with gray, scraggly moustache and small, deep-set eyes. One might easily have istaken him for a shrewd, efficient merchant. After a brief handshaking ceremony Heath piloted him upstairs. ~ ance had alreadj donned his ulster, but now he removed it. "I think I'll tarry a bit and hear what the captain has to say regarding those footprints. Y' know, Markh; IV; been evolving a rather fantastic theory about 'em; and I want to test it." Markham looked at him with questioning curiosity. Then he glanced at his watch. "I'll wait with you," he said. Ten minutes later Dr. Doremus c; me down and paused long enough «n his way out to tell us that RexJiM been shot with a .32 revolver heurat a distanee of about a foot from the forehead, the bullet having entered directly from the front and embedded itself, in all probability, in the mid- A quarter of an hour after Doremus had gone Heath re-entered the drawing room. He expressed uneasy surprise at seeing us still there. "Mr. Vance wanted to hear Jerym's report," Markham explained. "The Captain'll be through any minute now." The Sergeant sank into a cl.air. "He's checking Snitkin's measurements. He couldn't make much of the tracks on the carpet though." "And fingerprints?" asked Markham. "Nothing yet." "And there won't be," added Vance. "There wouldn't be footprints if they weren't deliberately intended for Heath shot him a sharp look, but before he could speak Captain Jerym and Snitkin came downstairs. "What's the verdict, Cap?" asked the sergeant. "Those footprints on the balcony steps," said Jerym, "were made with goloshes of the same size i .gs as the pattern turned over to me by Snitkin a fortnight or so ago. As for the prints in the room, I'm not so sure. They appear to be the same, however, and the dirt on them is sooty, like the dirt on the snow outside the French doors. I've several photographs of them; and I'll know de'inite ly when I get my enlargements under the microscope." Vance rose and sauntered to the archway. "May I have your permission to upstairs a moment, Sergeant?" Heath looked mystified. His instinct was to ask a reason for this unexpected request, but all he said was Go ahead." Something in Vance's man air of satisfaction combined suppressed eagerness--told me that he had verified his theory. He was gone less than five minute: When he returned he carried a pair of goloshes similar to those that had been found in Chester's closet, handed them to Captain Jerym. "You'll probably find that these made the tracks." Both Jerym and Snitkin examined them carefully, comparing the measurements and fitting the rough patterns to the soles. Finally, the Captain took one of them to the window, and affixing a jeweler's glass to his eye, studied the riser of the heel. "I think you're right," he agr "There's a worn place here which responds to an indentation on the I made." Heath had sprung to his feet stood eyeing Vance. "Where did you find 'em?" he demanded. "Tucked away in the rear of tha little linen closet at the head of the The sergeant's excitement got the better of him. He swung about to Markham, fairly pluttering with consternation. "Those two guys from the Bureau that went over this house looking for the gun told me there wasn't a pair of goloshes in the place; and I specially told 'em to keep their eyes pealed for goloshes. And now Mr. Vance finds 'em in the linen closet off the ma;n hall upstairs!" "But, Sergeant," said Vance mildly, "the goloshes weren't there when your sleuths were looking for the revolver. On both former occasion the Johnny who wore 'em had plenty of time to put 'em away safely. But today, d'ye see, he had no chance to sequester them; so he left 'em in the linen-closet for the time being." "Oh, that's it, is it?" Heath growled vaguely. "Well, what's the rest of the story, Mr. Vance?" "That's all there is to date. If I knew the rest I'd know* who fired the shots. But I might remind you that neither of your sergeants de v"~" any suspicious person leave hi Markham was on his feet. "That means that the murderer is house this minute." "At any rate," returned Vance lazily, "I think we are justified in assuming t'.iat the murderer was here when we arrived." "But nobody's left the place but Voi Blon," blurted Heath. Vance nodded. "Oh, it's wholly possible the murderer is still in the house Sergeant." CHAPTER XXIII. (Tues., Nov. 30, 2 p.m.) Markham and Vance and I had a ; te lunch at the Stuyvesant Club. During the meal the subject of the murder was avoided as if by tacit agreement; but when we sat smoking over our coffee Markham settled back in his chair and surveyed Vance "Now," he said, "I want to hear how you came to find those goloshes in :n closet " quite willing to unburden my soul," smiled Vance. "It was all so ashed simple. I never put any stock in the burglar theory, ar.d so was able to approach the problem with a virgin mind, as it were." He lit a fresh cigarette and poured himself another cup of coffee. "Perpend, Markham. On the night that Julia and Ada were shot a double set of footprints was found. It had stopped snowing at about 11 o'clock, and the tracks had been made between that hour and midnight, when the Sergeant arrived on the scene. On the night of Chester's murder there was another set of footprints similar to the others; and they too had been made shortly after the weather had cleared. "Here, then were tracks in the snow, approaching and retreating from the front door, preceding each crime; and both sets had been made after the snow had stopped falling when they would be distinctly visible and determinable. This was not a particularly striking coincidence, but it was sufficiently arresting to create a slight strain on my cortex cerebri. And the strain increased perceptibly this morning when Snitkin reported his discovery of fresh footprints on the balcony steps; for once again the same meteorological conditions had accompanied our culprit's passion for 'eaving poors. "I was therefore driven to the irresistible inference as you learned Sol-ons put it, that the murderer, so careful and calculating about everything else, had deliberately made all these footprints for our special edification. In each instance, d' ye see, he had chosen the only hour of the day when Lis tracks would not be obliterated by ORANGE PEKOE BLEND "SALAM TEA " "Fresh from the Gardens" falling snow or confused with other tracks. . . . Are you there?" "Go ahead," said Markham. "I'm listening." "To proceed, then. Another coincidence attached to these three sets of footprints. It was impossible, because of the dry, flaky nature of the snow, to determine whether the fir't set had originated in the house and returned there, or had first approached the house from the street and then retreated. "Again, on the night of Chester's demise, when the snow was damp and susceptible to clear impressions the same doubt arose. The tracks to and from the house were on opposite sides of the front walk; not a single footstep overlapped! Accidental? Per-1 aps. But not wholly reasonable. A person walking to and from a door along a Comparatively narrow pathway would almost certainly have doubled on some of his tracks. And even if he had failed to superimposa any of his footpri.ts, the parallel spoors would have been close together. "But these two lines of prints were far apart; each clung to the extreme edge of the walk, as if the person who made them was positively afraid of overlapping. Now, consider the footprints made this morning. There was a single line of them entering the house, but none coming out. We conceded that tha murderer had made his escape via the front door and down the neatly swept walk; but this, after all, was only an assumption." (To be continued.)
