A Certain Feminine Hobby
Tliire l type of young woman who
florles In tho number of scalps she can
oolleet, and" who follows thla pleasing
pursuit with an ardor that would bo
worthy of a better cause. No scientist
in the realm of roology has set forth
his (specimens with a keener enthusiasm
and triumphantly attached their Indl
Vtduat labels with a greater prldo than
Joes the scalp-collector add up her vic
tims and detail them In catalogue.
For tho scalp-collector, like all other
kclcntlflo collectors, loves to examine her
itpeclmens, to keep them on vlow. and to
parade them for the benefit of sight
seer. Other girls may cultivate hobbles
In tho way of sport, llterntiire, sclcnco,
And nil tho rest of It. But tho scalp

pcrlor to all such enthusiasts, for docs
not her hobby Include every other ono
under tho sun? Sport? What sport can
como up to the game of (lncsse, to the
wnr of wits, to tho truly diplomatic touch
he calls Into play every day of her giddy
little oxlitonce? And talk about science!
her hobby, she declaroi, has more genulno
science In It than nil tho 'Ologlea In the
world.
The scalp-collector Is almost ulways
endowed with a good mentality. Her pro
fession demands It Moreover sho has
an unlimited supply of that peculiar
Quality popularly known as "nerve.
Bho certainly needs It In tho exercise of
her Undoubted talents. Many a brilliant
woman would be a confirmed scalp
collector were It not for a lack of this so
called "nerve."
The scalp-collector has been sometimes
confused with the love-pirate. This la a
mistake. Tho scalp-collector comes out
and fights In the open, whero the love
plrato employs a shady sort of strategy
'that the former would avoid. Tho scalp
oollector may employ strategy for her
own ends, but sho acts moro "on tho
square" towards other women than does
the love-plrato. For the latter will ap
propriate any man upon whom her stray
ing fancy alights, bo he married or single,
yvhlle the scalp-collector will, generally
speaking, confine her wiles and her lures
to the singlo mart, True, sho regards
MARKET BASKET
NOT SO COSTLY THIS
WINTER AS LAST
Prices of Vegetables and
Other Food Products Kept
Within Reasonable
Bounds.
The open winter has proved a blessing
In many ways to tho breadwinner, but
possibly tho greatest benefit the mild
season has brought Is In tho prices of
food. Vegetables this year have been
considerably cheaper than for many
years; meats, too, are a trifle lower, while
butter and eggs havo failed to take their
usual winter aeroplane trip.
Retailers In tho Reading Terminal,
Ridge avenue and 2d and South streets
markets state that there Is an abundance
of food now, especially vegetables. And
tho best part about It Is that It can get
as "cold es snakes" now and food won't
go up to any great extent Thero Is a
largo quantity of food In storage and in
the hothouses, so that a heavy, lasting
cold spelt would not do much damage.
While the open season has been the
main factor In keeping the prices of food
down, retailers declare there Is a gen
eral feeling of "good times" throughout
the East, Crops havo been good, hens
hays been laying and, despite the epi
demic of hoof and mouth disease, cattle
have been "pretty good."
Butter, and eggs have been the most
noticeably low this jear, as compared to
last year. Last year these two neces
saries took a ride In a dirigible and were
almost out of sight until spring's advent,
dropping bombshells upon tho poor sick
people. But biddy has been laying well
this winter because she has had plenty of
warm weather to go out and feed. Hens
will not lay until they can run around
and find gravel, and, sad to say. they
are timid of going out when It Is cold.
Vegetables are more plentiful than they
have been for many moons. String beans
and peas have kept up the cold weather
traditions of the vegetable family, but
they are the only two that are up In
the air at present String beans are sell
leg at 75 cents a half peck, while peas
are going at Jl.M a half peck.
Carrots, turnips and potatoes are the
cheapest vegetables In the Philadelphia
markets. The latter ars selling at IS
cents a half peck, and lima beans aro
low, too. Onions and sweet potatoes are
"very reasonable," to use the language
of tho retailers.
Fruits hay surprised tn highest ex
pectations of the consumer, and market
men say they are cheaper this year
than could even ba expected. Apples that
sold for W.W last year at this time are.
as low as JI now. Oranges may be had
for J1.2S for a box of about 209. The
most select oranges are only $4 a box.
and strawberries are going fast at 45
and 5a cents a box. Hothouse grapes sit
on the throne of king high prices, and
they are selling at Its and ftKO a
pound.
Porls 1 lower than It was several weeks
see and much lower than It was tho
same time last year. All other lines of
meats are stationary. The varieties that
usually begin to scamper up the ladder
of prices at this time of the year hav
failed; to take the expected step. A com
plete price list of meats, compounded
from the prices charged by the three
markets, follows (the prices are per pound

every single man as her lawful prey. But
one cannot blame her for that. Tho mis
chief arises when another woman's man
I tho booty aimed at. Herein Is tho
sphere of tho love-plrato.
I knew a very attractive girl who qulto
confidently styled herself a scalp-collector.
Sho carried tho scheme out literally, too,
for she always wore a bracelet composed
entirely of gold or Jeweled hearts. These
were donated by tho various vlctlmi
whose nffectlons sho had appropriated,
nnd strung on a gold chain.- The vlctlmi
didn't appear to object, either, which
seemed a trifle curious They proudly
Inscribed their Initials, or names In full,
on tho llttlo hearts for all who ran to
read. At first I couldn't understand this
finuntlng of their Jilted affections, nnd
their consent thereupon. Hut Inter 1
discovered that each man fondly Imagined
that his individual heart v,ae a solo nml
cherished possession, to be worn. In truo
novel fashion, on a mender cord around
tho neck or over tho heart. It must havo
been a bit disconcerting for a fond lover
to find hi i heart, as well as himself, liter
ally "on tho string," and parndod among
a dozen others around the lady's slender
wrist.
A more general habit among the scalp
collectors Is the photograph mania. No
sportsman's shooting-lodge Is adorned
with more trophies of the chase than tho
boudoir of the avcrnge scalp-collector.
Photographs of Johnnies and Tommies
and Freddies, sent from all parts of tho
world nnd with a variety of Inky and
affectionate signatures, blossom on ovcry
wall, In every corner. On Investigation it
will be found that tho scalp-collector has
frequently dictated these self-samo com
plimentary expressions of devotion lipr
self. By the way, "Yours devotedly,"
'Tours eternally," Yours everlastingly"
are tame and fiat tokens of regard com
pared to somo of the flaring heart-throbs
I havo frequently seen inscribed upon tho
icalp-colcctor's photographic collection
The hobby of scalp-collection has been
too much criticised. If a oung woman
finds pleasure in the pastime, what mat
ters It to anbody else?
Tho modern man Is thoroughly well
equipped and competent to look out for
himself.

CHAPTEn XXI-(Contlnued)
"This has been given Into my charge,"
he said to himself, "and I am going to
betray my trust."
That was true enough. He was going
to betray his trust. Ho was going to
ruin the school, deal it a blow from
which it would perhaps take a century
to recover. The disappearance of Ouy
Wlmberley terrible for those who knew
and loved the boy would cast no more
than a passing shadow over the life of
the school. It was, so far as the world
knew, a thing that could not possibly
have been prevented. But let It once be
known that the headmaster of Harptree
was a felon and a criminal and nothing
could save the school from destruction.
All over the breadth and length of Eng
land It would be pointed at with scorn
and contempt. No parent would dare to
send a boy to It. Those that were there
already would be taken away and sent
elsewhere. It would be struck down by
a single blow from the high place to
which It had been raised. It would be
come a mere grammar school again, a
place where the tradespeople In Harp
tree would send their sons for a cheap
education. And there cwould be no one
to lift It up again.
He was going to betray his (rust. For
the sake of the woman whom he loved,
for the sake of the love she bora her
only son, he was going to send all this
flne edifice built by monks and priests
and laymen toppling down Into ruins.
He had resolved to sacrifice himself. It
was during the long night when he had
lain awake and had seen things more
clearly In the silence that he had real
ized that he was going to sacrifice the
school.
He waa roused from his reveries by
the sound of footsteps echoing In the
cloisters, A figure emerged from the
gloom and he saw that it was Vertlgan,
"dood morning, sir," said the science
master. "You aro up early."
"Yes-and you too, Vertlgan. Doing to
be a line day, I think."
"Y-es, sir, flne but cold. I suppose
thero Is no news about young Wlmber
ley." "None at all, Vertlgan I wish there
were. Oh, by the by, can you spare me
a few minutes tonight after dinner?"
"Yes, sir, any tlmo you wish when I'm
not In school."
"Tonight will do. Wo aro rearranging
the hoars for chemistry I want K du
ctus the nuw seh.me with you."
"Very wett, sir. Toalghfr-at T"
"Y, VeriJitui, that will tfe vry well

"Yes, sir," sold Vertlgan, '"I think that
new schemo will work ery well. It Is n
pity to cut Into the afternoons. And from
my point of view I'd rather give an hour
or two extra In tho week and get my aft
ernoons free "
"Very good, Vertlgan. Wo will start
next week. I will put up tho notices on
the board nnd give It out In Dig School
Now there Is another matter I wish to
talk to you about a private matter."

Bald, "I think I'll smoke. Give mo a
cigar no, you need not trouble. I'll help
micclf."
Ho took a cigar from n box on the ta
bic, lit it, and reseated himself in his
chair.
"I havo recently learnt, Vertlgan," said
John Erleigh after n pause, "that you aro
a friend of my sister's."
"Oh, well-hardly a friend, Erleigh We
know each other have known cactTother
for some little time "
"You are also a friend of a certain Mr.
Dick Merlet, a cousin of Lord Arthur's."
"I do know the man, but he Is not my
friend What are you driving at?"'
"I think, Vertlgan, you know what I
am driving nt."
For nearly a minute thero was silence.
Then Erleigh seated himself at his writ
ing table, took a cigar from tho box and
lit It.
"Whero Is young Wlmberley?" he said
abruptly.
"My dear Erleigh, how on earth do I
know?"
"You have an Idea, oh?"
"Not In tho least. Surely you don't
think I had anything to do with his dis
appearance." 'My slater thinks so."
"Then she's a fool, what Is the boy to
me?"
"Nothing; but your friend Dick Merlet
Is rather Interested In him."
Vertlgan laughed. "I suppose that Is
why I'm being Bhadowed," ho said. "Well,
It's got to stop, I tell you. It's got to
stop,"
"It la going to stop, my friend very
soon. Did I tell you that my sister came
to me with some story of your having
proposed to her, and that, by way of In
ducing her to accept your otter you told
her that you had me In your power and
that If she didn't marry you you'd hand
me over to the law."
That's true enough."
"On the contrary, It's a lie. My sister
threatened to betray you and Dick Merlet,

"and, you see, you would gain nothing

"Where Is Dick Merlet"
"I do not know. Gone under, I expect.
Tho last time I saw him ho was broke to

John Erleigh rested his chin on his

tlgan had suggested, lose everything nnd
gain nothing. '
"Fifty thousand pounds," ho said after
a long sllenco, "That Is tho amount that
the trustees of tho estate aro willing to

."It Is an enormous sum "
"And n free pardon to any one, not be

will turn King's evidence."
Vertlgan smiled.
"If I wero such a person ns you de

"Well, think It over, Vertlgan. Per

Vertlgan throw nway his cigar and lit
a cigarette.
"Will you give me a month's holiday?"
ho said.
"A month's holiday?"
"Yes. Then I'll see If I can find Dick
Merlet."
"You mean you are going to find the
boy?"
"I cannot promise that. But It's pos
sible." "It Is possible" Erleigh repeated slow
ly, "Then you you intend you admit
that you and Merlet have taken the boy?"
"I admit nothing, I have had no hand
In the kidnapping of the boy. But It Is

Some New Blouses
I hnvo Just made a. couple of very pretty
waists nt home, nnd feel delighted with
tho results. They were both mado from
tho samo pattern, too.Vnd yet both look
qulto different
Tho first waist Is In a dellcato shade
of sand-colored satin, It Is cut In kimono
stylo nnd has three-quarter length sleeves,
finished with a double frill of whlto laco
and n narrow black velvet ribbon.
A very pretty vest ot fine, plaltod
batlsto Is set tn, and tho collar Is a
doublo frill of upstanding lace, finished
with a llttlo circlet of narrow black velvet
ribbon. I havo tho French woman's
Btrong belief In tho "finishing touch"
which a llttlo black gives to any toilette,
and always try to carry this Idea out,
With this blouse I wear n wide, plaited
skirt In oi largo plaid check design. The
predominating color Is sand, and tho
stripes aro of brown. It Is lucky that I
hnppon to bo rather slim, as otherwise
I could not possibly wear a skirt of such

way up to the hlgh-walstcd band, nnd
thero Is a broad panot In tho front.
My other now waist Is In an oxqulslto
shndo of battlcshlp-gray chiffon, cut also
In tho kimono style, with sleeves coming
Just below tho elbow. A very pretty vest
Is set In nnd Is of gray pussy-willow
taffeta. This Is outlined In silver braid,
and tho neck Is cut In a deep V. I wear
a high upstanding frill with this waist
that almost smothers my chin and comes
right up to tho enrs. I cannot say with
any truthfulness that It Is comfortable,
but then pride feels no pain.
With this blouso of battleship gray 1
wear a very full black velvet Bklrt, tho
girdle fastening In front with a dainty
little bow. The small hat Is of black
satin, with a emal cabuchon of Bllver
brntd nt tho back, and from this long
ends hang down. It does look chic.

"Not yot, sir. Lord Arthur Is going on
to MonksIIver to tell her ladyship. They
wished me to como round here nnd tell
you, sir, I know how you must feel. It's
upset mo, and I hardly knew his joung
lordship."
John Erleigh sank Into a chair and
resting his nrms on the table bowed his
head between thorn. And ns ho thought
of tho sturdy, sunny-faced boy, so full of
tho promise of honorable and useful man
hood, as he realized this sudden blotting
out of tho young llfo, a low cry of pain
broko from his lips. And behind this
thought lay one oven more terrlblo, tho
thought of tho mother robbed of her only
son tho boy that Bho worshiped and
loved moro than anything elso In tho
world.
Tho Inspector quietly seated himself In
a chair and for a. mlnuto there was silence
In tho room. It was almost as though
prayers werobelng said for tho dead.
Then suddenly Erleigh sprang to his feet,
his eyes blazing In his white faco, and
ho struck the tablo with his hand.
"By Heaven," ho cried hoarsely, "thoy
shall swing for it. Vertlgan Is In -the
library. Arrest him; he shall swing for
this ho nnd the other foul brutol In
tho library quick or the devil will es
cape us," and ho strode toward the door.
But boforo ho had reached It Russell
was by his side and had caught him by
tho arm.
"Steady, sir, steady," he said. "Not
yet Walt until I have told you Tho
boy was not murdered, and Mr. Richard
Merlet Is dead they were both drowned.
They say that Mr. Merlet tried to savo
tho boy's life." ,
The words seemed to sober Erleigh like
a flood of cold water. Ho gasped for
breath.
"I you did not .tell me," ho stam
mered. "I was madwith rage I am
hardly myself. Let mo know what you
have to say say It quickly."
"Plcaso sit down, sir and If I may
suggest such a thing, Just a drop of
brandy to steady the nerves; a cruel busi
ness, sir but you must steady yourself,"
