She Is saved. In London, former Lieut. "Tommy" Beresford and M1M Prudence Cowley --"Tuppence"--discharged army nurse, form an organisation, "The Young Adventurers, Ltd."

Edward Whlttington. who offers her easy employment, but on giving har name as "Jane Finn." which she had heard- on the street, Whlttington disappears. In answer to an advertisement signed "Jane Finn" the two receive notes from "Mr. Carter' and "Julius P. Hershelmmer."

Tommy trails Boris. Whlttlngtons companion, to a house In Soho. He overhears details of a Bolshevik and labor plot to overturn the government.

"T«," said Tuppence aloud, nodding at the pert reflection In the glass, "you'll do." She then resumed her normal appearance. Dinner was a solitary meal. Tuppence was rather surprised at Tommy's non-return. Julius, too, was absent-- but that, to the girl's mind, was more easily explained. It was quite (Bin the cards that Julius P. Herahelmtber had left for Constantinople at a tboment'B notice If he fhncled that a due to his eousln't di. appearance was to be found there. The morning brought a .note from • Mr. Carter: fDear Miss Tuppence: • .. • "You have made a splefNWfl' start, •nd I congratulate you. I feel, though, that I should like to point out to you •fnce more the risks you are running, •specially tf you pursue the course Jfou indicate. Those people are absolutely desperate and incapable of either mercy or pity. I feel that you probably underestimate the danger, end therefore warn you again that I can promise you no protection. You have given us valuable Information, •nd If you choose to withdraw now no •ne could blame you. At any rate, think the matter over well before you decide. "If, in spite of my warnings, you make up your mind to go through With it, you will find everything arranged. You have lived for two years with Miss Dufferln, The Parsonage, Llanelly, and Mrs. Vandemeyer can apply to her for a reference. "May I be permitted a word or two of advice? I suggest that you should represent yourself to be what" you are, a former V. A. D., who has chosen domestic service as a profession There are many such at the present time. That explains away any incongruities of voice or manner which otherwise might awaken suspicion. "Whichever way yon decide, good luck to you. "Your sincere friend, "MR. CARTER." Tuppence's spirits rose mercorlally. Mr. Carter's warnings passed unheeded. ¥he -Voung lady had far too much confidence In herself to pay any heed to them. There was still no word or message from Tommy, but the morning post brought a somevrhat dirty postcard "with the words* "It's O. K." scrawled upon it I At ten-thirty Tuppence surveyed with pride a slightly battered tin - trunk containing her new possessions. It was artistically corded. She drove to Paddlngton, and left the box in . the cloak room. She -n repaired with a handbag to the fustneeses of the ladles' waiting-room. Ten minutes later a metamorphosed Tuppence walked demurely out of the station and entered a bus. > It was a few minutes past eleven when Tuppence again entered the hall of South Audley mansions. Albert was on the lookout, attending to his duties in a somewhat desultory fashion. He did not Immediately recognise Tuppence. When he did. his admiration was unbounded. "Blest If I'd have known youf1 That lig-out's top-hole." "Glad you like it, Albert," replied Tuppence modestly. "By the way, am I your cousin, or am I not?" . "Your voice, too." cried the delighted boy. "It's as English as anything! No, I said as a friend of mine knew a young gal. Annie wasn't best pleased. She's stopped on till today to oblige, she said, but really it*a 8G ; as to put you against the place. Are you going up now, Miss? Step inside If the lift No. 20 did you say?" And be winked. Tuppence quelled him with a stern - glance and stepped inside. As she rang the bell of No. 20 she ^ waa conscious of Albert's eyes slowly ^ descending beneath the level of the : ; floor. A anuut yotag fronua opened the , ' door. £ ' Tve come about the place," said Tuppence. -Ifs a rotten place," said the young woman without hesitation. "Regular old cat--always Interfering. Accused me of tampering with her letters. Mel The flap was half undone anyway. She's a wrong 'un, that's what she is. Swell clothes, but no class. Cook knows something about her--but she won't tell--scared to death of her. And suspicious! I can tell you--" But what more Annie could tell. Tuppence was never destined to learn, for at that moment a clear voice with a peculiarly steely ring to it Called: "Annte!" The smart young, woman Jumped as if she had been shot. "Yes, ma'am." "Who are you talking to?" "It's a young woman about the situation, ma'am." "Show her in thai. At ontse." "Yes, ma'am.** Tuppence was ushered into a room on the right of the long passage. A woman was standing by the fireplace. She was no longer in her first youth, and the beauty she undeniably possessed was hardened and coarsened. In her youth she must have been dazzling. Her pale gold hair, owing a slight assistance to art was colled low on her neck, her eyes, of a piercing electric blue, seemed to possess a faculty of boring Into the very soul of the person she was looking at Her exquisite figure was enhanced by a wonderful gown of Indigo charmeuse. And yet, despite her swaying grace, and the almost ethereal beauty of her face, you felt instinctively the presence of something hard and menacing, a kind of metallic strength that found expression in the tones of her voice and in that gimlet-like quality of her eyes. For the first time Tuppence ffit afraid. She had not feared Whlttington, but this woman was different. As If fascinated, she watched the long, cruel line of the red, curving mouth, and again she felt that sensation of panic pass over her. Her usual selfconfidence deserted her. Vaguely she Tuppence withdrew. The adventure had begun, but she felt less ela^d than she had done earlier in the horning. It crossed her mind that If the unknown Jane Finn had fallen Into the hands of Mrs. Vandemeyer, It W*A i'Kely JLQ have gone hardwith fortunate to have such a friend. seemed to be at variance ever some matter, and finally the latter sacclaimed bitterly: You are going about everywhere^ with Peel Edgerton. Not only Is he,' perhaps, the most celebrated king's counsel In England, but his special hobby |« criminology! It Is mad-, ness!" "I know that his eloquence "fias saved untold men from the gallows." said Mrs. Vandemeyer calmly. "What of It? 1 may need his assistance in that line myself some day. If so, how A Woman Was 8tanding by the Fire- - * • » pUc#* felt that deceiving tills woman would be very different to deceiving Whlttington. Here, Indeed, she might expect no mercy. Mrs. Vandemeyer motioned to a chair. "You can sit down. How did you hear I wanted a house-parlor maid?" "Through a friend who knows the lift boy here.* He thought the place, might suit me." Again that basilisk glance seemed to pierce her through. "You speak like an educated girl?" 1 Glibly enough, Tuppence ran through Iter linuulusry career on the lines NurwattHl by Mr. Carter. It niHMned to iter, as she did so, that the tenxton of Mrs. Vandemeyer's attitude relaxed. "I see," she remarked at length. "Is there anyone I can write to for a reference?" "I lived last with a Miss Dufferln, The Parsonage, Llanelly. I was with her two years." "And then you thought you would get more money by coming to London, I suppose? Well, it doesn't matter to me. I will give you whatever you want You can come In at once?" "Yes, ma'am. Today, if you like. My box Is at Paddlngton." "Go and fetch It in a taxi, then. It's an usy place. I am out a gdod deal. By the way, what's your name?" "Prudence Cooper, ma'am." "Very well, Prudenqft, Gotway and fetch your box." •.*, "Thank you, ma'am."1 ©HAPTEH^ ' •- 4 Enter Sir James Peel Edgerton,- Tuppence betrayed no awkwardness in lier new duties. The daughters of the archdeacon were well grounded In household tasks. Mrs. Vandemeyer's cook puzzled her. She evidently went In deadly terror of her mistress. The girl thought It probable that the other woman had some hold over her. For the rest she cooked like a chef, as Tuppence had an opportunity of judging that evening. Mrs. Vandemeyer was expecftng a guest to dinner, and Tuppence accordingly laW the beautifully polished table for two. She was a little exercised in her own mind as to this visitor. It was highly possible that it might prove to be Whlttington. Although she felt fairly confident that he would not recognize her, yet shfc would have been better pleased had the guest proved to be a total stranger. At a few minutes past eight the front door bell rang, and Tuppence went to answer it with some inward trepidation. She was relieved to see that the visitor was the second of the two men whom Tommy bad taken upon himself to follow. He gave his name as Count Stepanov. Tuppence announced him, and Mrs. Vandemeyer rose from her seat on a low divan with a quick murmur of pleasure. He bowed low" over her hand. Tuppence returned to th£ kitchen. "Count Stepanov, or some such," she remarked, and affecting a frank and unvarnished curiosity: "JVho's her "A Russian gentleman, I believe.** "Come here much?" "Once in a while. What d'you want to know for?" "Fancied he might be sweet^on the missus, that's all," explained the girl, adding with an appearance of sulkiness: "Hov* you do take one up!" "I'm not quite easy in my mind abbut the souffle," explained the other. "You know something," thought Tuppence. Whilst waiting at table. Tuppence listened closely to all that was said. She remembered that this was one of the men Tommy was shadowing when she had last seen him. Already, although she would hardly admit It, she was becoming uneasy about her partner. Where was he? Why had no word of any kind come from him? She had arranged before leaving the RItz to have all letters or messages sent on at once by special messenger to a small stationer's shop near at hand, where Albert was to call In frequently. True, It was only yesterday morning that she had parted from Tommy, and she told herself that any anxiety on his behalf would be absurd. Still, It was strange that he had sent no word of any kind. But listen as she might, the conversation presented no clu . Boris and Mrs. Vandemeyer talked on purely indifferent subjects. Tuppence brought in the coffee and liqueurs and unwillingly retired. She cleared away an'd washed up with a breathless speed acquired in hospital. Then she slipped quietly back to the boudoir door. The cook, more leisurely, was still busy in the kitchen, and. If she missed the other, #would only suppose her to be turning down the beds. Alas I The conversation inside was being carried on In too low a tone to permit hearing anything of-it She dared not reopen the door, however gently. Mrs. Vandemeyer was sitting almost facing It, and Tuppence respected her ml stress* lynx-eyed powers of" observation. Nevertheless, she felt she would give a good deal to overhear what was going on Possibly, If anything unforeseen had happeLed, she might get news of Tommy. For some moments she reflected desperately, thee her face brightened. She went quickly along the passage to Mrs. Vandemeyer's bedroom, which had long French windows leading onto a balcony that ran the length of the flat. Slipping quickly through the window. Tuppence crept noiselessly along till she reached the boudoir window. As she had thought, it stood-a "ttle ajar, and the voices within were plainly audible. „ Tuppence listened attentively, but there was no mention of anything that could be twisted to apply to Tommy.

"The price, at any rate, would have to be enormous," she said lightly. "It would be beyond the pow$r of pnyone but a millionaire to pay.* • * "Ah!" said the Russian: **l?dU sect I was right I" "My dear Boris, caA fotf BOt take a Joke?" "Was it a Joker "Of course. Let us not quarrel, Boris. Touch the bell. We will have some drinks." Tuppence beat a hasty retreat. She paused a moment to survey herself in Mrs. Vandemeyer's long glass, and be sure that nothing was amiss with her appearance. Then she answered the bell demurely. The conversation that site had over" beard, although interesting In that It proved beyond doubt the complicity of both Rita and Boris, threw very little light on the present preoccupations. The name of Jane Finn had , not even been mentioned. The following morning a few brief words with Albert Informed her that nothing was waiting for her at the stationer's. It seemed Incredible that Tommy, If all was well with him, should not send any word to her. A cold hand seemed to close round her heart . . . Supposing . . . She choked her fears down bravely. It was no good worrying. But she leapt at a chance offered her by Mrs. Van* demeyer. "What day do you usually go out. Prudence?" "Friday's my usual day, ma'am.** "And today is Friday! But I suppose you hardly wish to go out today, as you only came yesterday." "I was thinking of asking you if I might, ma'am." "It makes no difference to met as I shall not be dining at home." Tuppence felt a sensation of relief once she was out of the other's presence. Once again she r.dinltted to herself that she wss afraid, horribly afraid, of the beautiful woman with the cruel eyes. In the midst of a final desultory polishing of her silver. Tuppence was disturbed by the ringing of the front door bell, and went to answer It. This time tlie visitor was neither Whlttington nor Boris, but a man of striking appearance. Just a shade over average height he nevertheless conveyed the impression of a big man. His face, cleanshaven and exquisitely mobile, was stamped with an expression of power and force far beyond the ordinary. Magnetism seemed to radiate from him. Tuppence was undecided for the moment whether to put him down as an actor or a lawyer, but her doubts were soon solved as lie cave her his name: Sir James Peel Edgerton. Tuppence went back to her pantry thoughtfully. The great man had impressed her. She understood Boris' ugitr.tlon. Peel Edgertcn would not be an easy man to deceive. In about a quarter of an hour the bell rang, and Tuppence repaired to the hull to show the visitor out. He had given her a piercing glance before. Now, as she handed him his hat and stick, she was conscious of his eyes racing her through. As she opened the door and stood abide to let him pass out, he stopped In the doorway. "Not been doing this long, eh?" Tuppence raised her eyes, astonished. She read In his glance kindliness, and something else more difficult to fathom. - j He nodded al though MM had answered. ; "V. A. 1). and hard up, I suppose? Good place here?" "Very good, thank yon, sir.' "Ah, but there are plenty of good places nowadays. And a change does no harm sometimes." "Do you mean--?" began Tuppence^ •iaty iteSi But Sir James was already on the topmost stair. He looked back with his kindly, shrewd ginnce. "Just a hint" he said. "That's all.** Tuppence went back to the pantry more thoughtful tlian ever. Comfbrflslhe CKief AftrtctW; Graceful Shoulder Lines "t Kobody knows how It happened, but this season sleeves have refused to take any part In the cast-off garments designed for afternoon wear, declares a fashion writer in the Detroit News. Heretofore they have starred as a feature in most of the modish gowns and true as the old adage that "a man is known by the company he keeps," so the up-to-dateness of a gown was gauged by the sleeve it attached. Then, having been the one distinguishing note, with every whim for tbe unusual humored tc nth degree, sleeves suddenly, repudiated old associates and retired from the frock entirely. So the modern afternoon gown billows, clings or trails, as the case may be, but altogether .innocent of anything that could be construed as a sleeve, and accepts the abbreviation quite as a matter of course. No gown that lias been deserted by a pair of sleeves is going to display any chagrin over the matter, and there really isn't any reason to take it much to heart, for the long, graceful shoulder lines that supplant the erstwhile sleeve have a charm all their own. Add to this the comfort of a sleeveless gown on a torrid afternoon and Fashion can snap her fingers in the face of the sleeve and care not a Jot for Its retirement So the fact is established that for afternoon wear, gowns are without sleeves. Looking back on the models of the Dast year discovers a hint of what has come about in the shorter and shorter lengths, .the open shoulder seam, and other innovations that have paved the way for complete disappearance of what was once considered a very essential part of the afternoon frock. But while the sleeve has been eliminated, skirts have been elongated, so there Is no economy of material to be discovered in the new modes that confront femininity. Lovely and Graceful. Boldly stated, a gown for afternoon devoid of sleeves sounds rather shock Ing. But no matter how it sounds tc talk about It, to observe it Is to lose pvery scruple the vocal proclamation has conjured. Sleeveless gowns are lovely and graceful, and Ingratiating, appearing as casual, aB perfectly correct, as anything In the way of a frock could possibly be. Every kind of soft, clinging fabric Is used In the fashioning of these gowns. Voiles in Innumerable subtle tints, combined with delicate laces, are the very essence of summer at her happiest. Often a yoke of embroidered material edged with frills of filmy lace, follows the round neck line and drops Just a wee bit over the upper arm at the shoulder. Not so that it can be classed as a sleeve, oh, no! To call It a sleeve would be a fatal mistake and quite beyond the scope of the most healthy imagination. If there must be something on the arm In lieu of a sleeve, let it be bracelets, or a bracelet Either Is correct for the band may be a broad affair of platinum or sliver set with "precious stones, or there may be any number of very narrow silver and Jet bands loosely circling the arm. * Nor is the field of sleeveless gowns constricted to the afternoon function. They are seen on the street, and in nifty little frocks for sports wear. In fact, it Isn't half so much the occasion, as the arm, that regulates the wearing of the sleeveless gown, for the goQdlooking arm has a chance to show Id points of -beauty on nearty ail occasions-- while, naturally the arm less attractive Isn't so generally inclined to display. Chiffon Popular, Delightfully* graceful and coot-looking are the chiffon models over slips of silk, the chiffon overdress trimmed in self material with cascading bands down the side. One particularly beautiful gown of this kind In delicate yet vivid blue has for Its only trimming a beaded girdle at the low waistline, the beads of the same color combined with crystal and Iridescent hues, it was the one touch of brightness that 'finished the gown.

One New York debutante has popularized the fad of wearing an inchwide velvet band tightly about each wrist, fastened with a pink satin rose. She wears these with sleeveless froeks and the effect Is charming. Another fad is for corsages, worn directly in the front, made of cascades of flowers and colored ribfcpns, almost resembling the bridal show« bouquet.

Yellow is one of the most popular summer colors, and windows and shops are filled with wares of various yellow ^Shades. For sports wear them has been quite a run on mustard color, but this is a rather hurd shade to wear and the popular leaning Is to yellow In softer tones. However, if a woman can becomingly wear the rather brassy yellow known as mustard color, it is decidedly smart. When the hat only Is of yellow, a facing of black or white may aid In Its becomlngness; but yellow frocks and hats without a single touch of contrasting color are first favorites, whether for sports or dressy wear.
