The {flickering light fell on a figure that was bound and gagged. It was a wom- an. With one bound, Jerry leaped the intervening space. It was Jean, "Jean darling." Relief, dismay and © profound thankfulness were express- ed in Jerry's voice, as he removed the handkerchief and unfastened the bond around her wrists. "Oh, Jerry, I knew you'd come. Let us leave here-as quickly as we can. She trie to rise but sank back with a groan. Jerry eyed her speculatively Would she be able to negotiate those steep slimy steps steps down to the cave. After a moment's thought, he propounded unwillingly: "Look here Jean, we can't go this way; the door's locked. I'll 'have to go back the way I came and get help." ' But the girl's hands clung to him frantically and her eyes widened with terror. "No, no Jerry, don't go please." "But dear, I must get you out of here," he explained. God knew he was reluctant to leave her, but she would catch her death, if she had much more of that cold. As it was, she was shiv- ering like a poplar leaf and must be starved.

Yet if he left her and she vanished again in his absence--? Goving over to the trap door, he opened it and gazed into the abyss, trying to gauge the possibili- ties of a descent. It seemed pretty hopeless, he thought, listening to the booming of the sea' which echoed hol- lowly below. . Seeing him sanding with his head halfway through the.door and fear- ing that she was going to be left, Jean struggled to her feet, but her head felt peculiar and her knees as if they did not belong to her, so that it was with a lurching unsteady step, that she crossed the floor and stag- gered against the young man, wao caught her as she fell, "You see, my dear, you can't,' he said, helping her back on to the straw "I could in a minute I think," she insisted. "It's the drug they gave me. It makes me feel so giddy" "You poor darling," sympathised the young man, whilst silently cursing whatever it was that was responsible for the outrage. What * with being starved and drugged and frozen, no wonder she was ira bad way poor ckild. But what the devil was he to do? She was clinging to him convul- sively like a frightened child, and cex- tainly he - had no desire to leave her again. If anything happened to her now he would never forgive himself. Whilet rubbing his cheek soothingly against her head he thought madly of some way out. The question was of course, what was happening behind that door? ' Was Perichon there? Or were de Laurier and his confederates still in occupation? Then, whilst stan- ding at the door, an idea began to form. It meant taking a risk, of course but either way there woulu be that. : "Listen, Jeannie. We'll go through that door". y "How," she asked. "This way." Stooping he dre\v his revolver from hig pocket. "I'll shoot off the lock." "0" She seemed rather awed, as if her, "Now listen darling. We don't know who's on the other side of that door, so we must be ready. D'you see? I want you to put your right arm a- round, my neck and I'll hold on about your waist. This way--" Helping her up, Grant encircled her firmly with volver in his right hand. "Now can you manage?' ~~ - She nodded: "Yes." "Good. Now--" They moved to the door.and plac- ing the muzzle of the revolver against the lock, Grant fired. The noise seemed appalling, rever- berating stridently against the stone walls, and seeming to fill the small space with an ear-splitting sound, so that the grl started violently and shrank against the young man's shoulder. But ha clutched her firmly and flinging his weight against the door, gave it a mighty push. At first the wood held; then so suddenly did it give that they almost fell into the man who was standing there in the shadow: with his revolver levelled at their heads. Chapter XXVI--Great Developments It was de Laurier who faced them; no longer the suave Baron of the Ho- tel de Paris, but a snarling desparate man. The cellar wherein they found themselves was large and complete- ly dark, excepting for a hurricane lamp, which stood upon the table, By its light the Frenchman's face was strangely illumnated, dark contrast- ing shadows lending it an almist dia- bolical expression, | 'To Assure & Healthy Scalp use SOAP and CobsE soar Soap 25¢.

"Baron," sha said, hoping for a moment to dis- tract his attention from Grant. She did not succeed however. With: out withdraw'ng his eyes from the Scotsman, whose arms were now a- bove his head, he ordered: ' "Stand aside." When Jean did: not move he rapped: "Did you hear me?

But---------- He watched de Laurier closely for an opening, "Get away from that door!" snap- ped the Frenchman." Of course! His back was to the door, not the wall; a very different thing. Grant smiled and went to lower his hands. "Keep them up! Now move." "Can't be dune," Grant retorted. coolly, leaning back against the door With a snarl de Laurier took a step forward--a step fich owing to prompt action from Jean, proved his undoing. As he moved she suddenly flung her self down and grased him about the knees so that he tripped and -lurch- ed against the wall, In a moment he had regained his balance, but Grant was upon hm. They closed and, lock- ed in each other's grasp, swayed and lurched about the cellar, Jean shrank back against the wall and watched chem from terror-filled eyes. Her breath came in sobbing gasps and her knees trembled beneath her as she followed the struggle. De Laurier was desperate, fighting he knew for his life, and his face with the streaks of light and the deep sha- dows his bare teeth as he drew his lips back into a snarl and in the fight for breath, #as nat pretty to see. "Jerry! Jerry! O, God help him," the girl breathed, shuddering back a- gainst the wall and hiding her eyes, But she heard the stamp of their feet the gasping and panting and the groans and shuffle as one strove to unlock the other's grip. Unable to keep from- looking, she turned and saw Grant's fi ~e, twisted and glisten- ing with perspiration; his Lair stood on end and his collar was ripped from his neck. He stood by the table with the lamp shining full upon his face. Then they closed again and Jean saw something gleaming in de Laurier's hand. Her heart stood still. Pulling herself to her feet, she stumbled for- ward. "Jerry be car~i.!!

Almost any woman may be inter- esting, perhaps even beautiful, if she'll figure out her type and then play up to it, according to Leone Sousa, recently chosen the most beautiful girl-in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1934, "Type," said the tall brunette with flashing black eyes and hair that is as smooth and shiny as: polished ebony, "ig the password to beauty and personality, The angelic-faced girl with ' straight brown hair should | realize that she is the Madonna type and, no matter how much she longs to be dashing, should 'arrange her makeup and hair to suit, applies to the Spanish type of beauty. And to the wan, willowy miss. Even girls with pugnoses and freckles may. be attractive if they'll only admit to being in the 'cute' category and carry out that line of thought when they de- cide on a ¢oiffure, a lipstick, a new frock. 2 "When 1 came-to New York six years ago," Miss Sousa said, "I look- ed exactly like hundreds of other as- pirants to the stage. 1 couldn't even get a job modelling clothes, to say nothing of one in the theatre. So I decided to make the most of my statuesque appearance, bought a'stick of orchid grease paint to make me look pale and interesting, pinned * a large bun on the back of my bobbed 'head and tucked my short locks up under it. Almost immediately 1 be- came a type and was flcoded with offers from commercial. photograph- ers. Later, 1 was able to get on the stage, and now I've won a beauty prize." Miss Sousa believes that exercise is important. to one who wishes to be: healthy and beautiful. She, her- self, takes long walks in the park, rides, swims and plays tennis. Hair is another important consider: ation with her. She uses a hair brush just 'as the average person uses: a- comb. Instead of setting aside fifteen minutes for a brushing:ritual, she does it while she is putting on makeup, when: removing it---any time:at all, Miss Sousa: washes her face: with soap and water, twice a. day, and uses a- cleansing: cream: afterward: her nails are perfectly manicured and she useg cosmetics sparingly though she thoroughly approves of them for all 'women. "The trouble with most girls," she said, "is that they use too mich makeup and often the wrong shades, at that." SE A CRISP SALAD Salad should never stand for a long time after preparing it.

There is an even stronger argument for hav- ing women in the consulates, for all over the world women who- are in - trouble or difficulty have to go to their consul. Dame Edith has been much impress- ed by some of the women she met dur- ing#a brief visit to China, where she believes women are destined to play '& great part. They are clever, full of life and energy, divorced altogether from the ambitions of the various war lords and eager to help their country, "I am not urging. this with the idea of getting: womemr into every- thing," she said, "but I believe that the whole efficiency of the diplomatic and consular services would be raised if women were admitted.
