10 OF INTEREST TO "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" Omiilltt kr I«8»n»>lon«» Haws ImlM "How would you like to get out of the city over Saturday and Sunday?-" Bald Warren, coming home early to find Helen almost exhausted with the heat. "Oh, Warren! can you get away early to-morrow.?" Helen queried. Warren had been staying late every Saturday afternoon for extra business, and Helen had steadfastly refused to leave the city when he could not Join her week-ends at least. "Sure I can. I'm going to take it off, no matter what conies up. I hate like the dickens to have you here in this terrible heat when you might Just as well be away somewhere," he added, kissing her more tenderly than Usual. "I like to be here if It helps you any," Helen rejoined, catching his hand and holding it against her race Tor a second. "Well, what's the plan?" *he said gaily. "You look as if you had something up your sleeve." "I have and you'll be' crazy about It. In fact, I told Tom we'd come, I was so sure you'd like the idea." "Well, out with it, tell me every thing I suppose I am in for it," Helen rejoined anxious to be agreeable, but glad of any relief from the city. She and Warren had motored out of town Ipearly every week-end. but their lit tle jaunts had been expensive and Warren had grumbled several times at the prices. "Well. Tom dropped in this morning and said that he and Babbie were making up a small house party for the week-end. He told me we simply had to accept so I proceeded to do so on the spot. Babbie said she wouldn't take no for an answer." "I'm so glad you accepted dear, nothing will please me better. Who is to be there?" "Carp, of course, and the Garnetts ar® going out from Hempstead, and Jack Parmalee and Benedict, you re member him, don't you know you liked him so much the afternoon you met him at Frances Knowles? And, oh, yes, Lola Wilcox is to be there." Warren Is Insistent If Warren ha dexploded a bomb shell he could not have rousd Helen more. So Lola Wilcox was to be there, and Warren had already accepted, so that it would be impossible for her to draw back now. Helen was fur ious. She hardly knew how to contain herself for a moment, but she managed to maintain a silence that could almost be felt. Warren whirled the paper he had opened nonchalantly. Helen wonder ed if he were as unconcerned as he seemed to be, and then, as he looked up and smiled, he asked: "How do you like the crowd?" "I like everyone but Miss Wilcox," she retorted. "Why, what's the matter with her?" Warren returned. "Nothing, nothing at all; I simply don't like her - 1 believe I shall cail Babble up and tell her I won't bo there. I shouldn't have a good time, so what's the use of going?" "You were crazy enough about go ing until I mentioned Miss Wilcox and then you refuse to go," Warren said, flushing angrily. "You have the most foolish grudge against that woman and she has never done a thing against you 432 Market St. will open Saturday, Sept. 9th, with a full line of fresh meats, smoked meats and sausages.

In fact, she goes out of her way to say pleasant things about you." "Indeed," Helen said, with ominous calm. ":When do you see her so often that she has an opportunity to say nice things about me?" "Why I see her occasionally," War ren returned, "at lunch and sometimes in the street. Pads and Fancies is published right near us. The trouble is you are jealous of her." When a man tells a woman that she is Jealous of another, ?♦! it strikes home, feminine psychology demands direct denial. It is fatal for a woman to confess Jealousy, no matter how jealous she may be. "I don't see what reason you have to say that. Warren." "Well, I don't see any other reason for it, unless it's because she's witty and bright and attractive." "Does that mean that I ana none of those things." "Don't be an idiot," said Warren im patiently, "you know what I mean. She writes cleverly and she always has a dozen or so men hanging about her. no wonder she knows how to handle them." Warrent had said enough to reduce Helen to passionate tears, but she pluckily held her ground, and strug gled for self-control. "And what is more." Warren con tinued, "you'll either go down to the Bells with to-morrow, or else I shall go alone." Helen was on the point of telling him that that was what he would have to do when the bell suddenly rang, and before she could tell Mary not to ad mit anyone, a laughing, girlish voice asked for Helen and the next minute Frances was in the room. "Frances," said Helen, rising im petuously, "when did you get back, dear? I've missed you so. Oh, you look so well, and I think you're plump er than you were." The Girls Confer "It's good to see you," Frances re turned, keeping an arm about Helen and shaking hands with Warren. "I got in this morning and I Just had to rush up here this afternoon to find out if you are going to the Bells ana to tell you that if you're not, you've got to reconsider and come. I know you're invited. Helen, you look thin, come on in. your room while I take off my hat and we can have a chat together. I know Mr. Curtis won't mind." And Frances, whose keen eyes had seen that something was wrong car ried Heyen off to her own room, where the two women looked at each other a few minutes before the tears rose to Helen's eyes. You'll think I'm crazy," Helen said sadly, "but Warren and I were just discussing going to the Bells when you came in. I refused to go when I heard that Lola Wilcox was going." Frances was thinking rapidly. I have a plan," she said finally, "but you must be willing to play the game, an don tbe cross when I tell you what it is." Helen looked up interestedly, and Frances began to eagerly outline her plan of action. (Another Instalment in this inter esting series will appear here soon.)

A Vwp rnu bxrrisburg telegraph Silver Sandals A Detective Story of Mys tery, Love and Adventure. By Clinton H. Stagg Copyright, W. J. Watt & Co., International News Service. A hunted look came to* the eyes of the manager as he opened the door of his office. The half dozen of the news paper men hurried toward them; the loungers stared; the buzz of conversa tion came to their ears. Carl turned the reporters away with a snapped oath, and led his companions to a side entrance of the hotel. A nod to a doorman protected their rear, and they walked down the court beside the hotel where Carl fitted a key in the lock of a door and entered. When he had closed it behind them he breathed a great sigh of relief. "Worse than leephes," commented Colton. "Damn' sight!" choked the nerve racked manager. "This way!" They were in a small diningroom, and Colton stumblea over a chair. "I beg your pardon," the district attorney said contritely, and with one hand on the blind man's arm he led him to the small elevator in the corner cleverly shielded by a screen. The elevator door slid closed behind them, and the car ascended noiselessly. Even before it stopped they could hear the sounds of the two men in side the private suite, and when Carl sprang open the door, he shouted a wrathful exclamation. The rooms had been literally torn to pieces. Furni ture had been pulled out, drawers overturned, and the carpet had been | ripped from the floor. Captain Mc- Mann, red-faced, in his shirt-sleeves, with perspiration beading his red face, stood in the center of the room. The square-Jawed detective crawled from under a bed, swearing softly. Thornley Colton stepped from the ; elevator. His thin cane located an overturned chair, and he stopped an inch or so from the overturned table. "Thorough, at least," he observed, and his delicate nostrils quivered as he sniffed the close air of the tight-shut rooms. His finely chiseled lips wore the faintest of smiles as h'e realized the lengths the captain had gone when the blind man had telephoned his boast that he "would find something." "Nothing here!" The captain spoke as though he would stake his life, reputation, and honor on it. "Never has been anything here!" he growled. "No?" The short negative was al most a drawl. The problemist offered his clgaret case all around, and took one of the rolls. "Lucky you've got that habit of not smoking while on iduty, captain," he said. "As soon as I light this cigaret the clinging smell ' of Egyptian incense in the rooms will | be destroyed." I "What's that?" The captain sniffed the air with loud nasal gulps. "Your sense of smell is not so keen as mine, captain." The match touch- Jed the cigarette end. "You are handi capped with keen eyes." "Where'd the incense come from?" demanded Carl, with the snappishness the presence of the police always seemed to arouse. "The man who was killed. There was just a faint trace of it that I detected when I touched him at the table. It was much stronger in the house of the clairvoyant. You smell ed it there, attorney?" The official nodded. "That estab lishes the fact that he was here." Incense ain't as rare as all that," declared the captain. "Lots of people burn it in their houses." "True," nodded the blind man. "I said the clinging smell of incense. Any one who has burned it knows that the odor does not hold. It is only in the j aromatic smoke, and will not stay on j clothes nor a room more than a few j minutes. This is an incense odor; something that no common perfume has." "You are trying to prove that the man lived here before he was murdjer ed?" The captain was sarcastic. "No. He merely came here to be murdered." The blind man turned to the square-jawed detective. "Will you set that table upright?" he asked. His voice was sharp, the hectic flush was again on his cheeks. The detective Jumped to obey without even think ing to look for orders from his cap tain. "Thank you." Colton rested the slim stick against a chair. Slowly his finger tips moved over the polished top of the table. A forearm's length from the edge they lightly brushed the wood. An inch they moved slow ly, two inches. He had examined a foot, slowly, painstakingly. The watching men became nervous as the minutes passed with no sound, no movement but the slowly sliding fing ers. Suddenly the expression on the blind man's face changed. The fingers rested, then moved so slowly that the eyes could hardly see them move. He looked up. "One thing you missed, captain," he said. MrMann's movement was a signal for the others. They crowded around the table, staring down where his fing ers h*>d stopped. But there was noth ing, absolutely nothing, but the un manned polish of the top. "Keen eyes are not of much use there, are they?" "Nothing there, that's why!" snap ped the captain. "A whole story, written out in Eng lish words!" Colton's fingers moved again. "If you have a very powerful glass you'll see the slight, almost in visible, indentations made by a heavy stylus that wrote a sentence. Here are the words, they may be of use: "No human hand can unlock it. Prom out the dead dynasties.' There the writing stopped. "Bunk!" growled the captain again. "Bunk!" he repeated. "To any one who doesn't know the capabilities of the blind, yes. But I can read Braille letters through a dozen thick handkerchiefs. Get a microscope, and you'll see the rough indentations." "But what's it mean? There ain't i nothin' to unlock!" "Seems to me there's quite a bit to unlock," declared the blind man. "I should say so!" gasped Carl, staring down at the table, with eyes narrowed in a vain effort to see what the blind man had said was there. "Where's the bathroom?" Colton picked up his cane. "Over there." There was no sar casm in the voice of the police cap tain now. Ho couldn't keep it there nor on his face, though every ounce of his will power strove to hold the mask. He felt, subconsciously, that the blind man would keep his boast; he knew that the senses of the man he was trying to beat would find some thing that his eyes, trained by years of experience, had missed. Already they had found one thing. Were there others? "Lucid—to a blind man," remarked Colton. Then Carl took his arm to lead him to the bathroom door. The captain moved to where he could see every thing the blind man did. Ap parently he had not even noticed the presence of the district attorney, who should have had no connection with the case until the police had finished. The problemist's feet felt the tiled floor, and he shook his arms free from the guiding hand. At the white porcelain tub he dropped to bis knees, Children Gry For 15 yiolADnchn J NOT NARCOTIC. gorlc, Drops and Soothing Syrups. It Is pleasant.

He straightened up, his hand held high above his head. The finger and thumb apparently grasped some thing; but they could see nothing from where they stood. "Another clew your sharp eyes fail ed to find," announced the blind man quietly. The district attorney was the first to move. The police captain had to jump to get ahead of him. "A hair," Colton eald. "A single hair." They could see it now, glinting in the light from the one small window. It was long, of fineiy spun gold. "The girl who sat at the next table!" The exclamation came from the mouth of the captain, and he bit his lips because he had been surpris ed into open admission. "Right!" Colton dropped It care lessly in the tub. "In the shadow it was utterly impossible to see the hair, but my fingers, so sensitive that they could have located unerringly that same hair through several sheets of note paper, found it instantly. That's one of the feats of the blind that the average person doesn't be lieve until he sees it." "But what does It mean?" gasped Carl. "Was the girl here?" "The evidence seems to indicate that." Colton rose and carefully bushed his knees. "Trying to tell us the old man lived in this suite and that the girl visited him without the hotel people getting wise?" asked the police captain. "As I said before, the old man came here merely to be murdered.'" The blind man stood facing them, one hand in his trouser pocket, the fingers of the other twirling the thin cane. "Nice, quiet little time, clubbing an old man half to death, and then cut ting his wrists to finish it," observed the police captain shortly. "You mean the marks on the body." "Plain enough, I guess," growled McMann. "To a person with imagination, yes. That's your only fault, captain; the one thins that keeps you in a rut. You haven't imagination, any more than Doctor Brown had when he ex amined the body. The slashed wrists caused death, and, of course, there was no need of an autopsy, which would have proved that the man was drugged to unconsciousness before the wrists were slashed. There could be no sound because the murdered man took the drug unsuspiciously, and it acted at once." "But the blood! Where is the blood ?" Colton's cane tapped the edge of the tub lightly. "A porcelain tub," he said. "That mark under the left arm, which your lack of imagination told you had been caused by the heavy club, was made when the body was jammed tightly against the round edge of this tub, as one hand on the shoulder held it in position and the other gripped the wrist to hold it over the drain. A simple turning of the hot-water tap, and there wasn't a bit of evidence. Simple, isn't it? with a little imagination and without the handicap of eyes." McMann swung around on the square-jawed detective. "Dust some of that finger-print powder on the taps, Tom!" he ordered. Tom. with the tip of his finger cov ered with a handkerchief, gingerly touched the hot-water tap, to raise it. A paper packet yielded some fine white powder that dusted the polished tap, then was blown off. Every one but the blind man stepped forward to stare; he merely stood back with his hands behind him. !!S Jt a s '*>n!" grutued the detective. "Forgot that Brown testified the murderer wore gloves so that he could beat Bertillon, didn't you?" sug gested Colton quietly. "Then the murdered man did, too " asserted the captain. "We haven't been asleep. We dusted that finger print powder round before." uii yes! Eyes a^aln! " Protested the blind man wearily.

Naturally, the murtisred man wore gloves. Do you suppose that detail would be overlooked, after months of preparation ?" "Theory!" snapped the captain. "All theory!" "But you'll concede It pretty well borne out by the fact Don't turn off that hot water!" The sharp words caused the detective to straighten up suddenly. Colton lowered the cane that had told him of the movement. From his pocket he took a handkerchief. ' He bent over swiftly, rubbed the cloth over the metal cross pieces in the tub outlet, and pulled his hand quickly from under the warm stream of water. "See that! "See that!" he jerked, holding out the handkerchief. ■ "See the exidence of blood there! That proves it!" On the handkerchief was just the faintest tinue of red. "Great God!" The exclamation burst from Manager Carl. "Are you blind ?" the captain de manded explosively. "This proves it!" Colton dropped the handkerchief into the tub and turned the tap. "If I wasn't blind T wouldn't have found that. But I know that every pian who commits a crime works to destroy the evidence that eyes will see. The murderer in this case turned off the tap the minute the last sign of blood disappeared from the tub, and considered himself per fectly safe. But he didn't know that the sections of that drain guard that are in every bathtub would hold a few of the coagulated corpuscles which would soften again when the hot water ran. Eyes would never have seen them, because they would never think to look for them. A glass wouldn't have shown them because of their position. Perfectly safe, ex cept for a blind man!" His stick held before him, he walk ed from the bathroom. Mechanically the others followed. In the center of the littered room the problemist stop ped. His head turned toward the door of the elevator as though his ears had caught some sudden suspicious sound. A tense expression came to his facei then faded. "I think I've found all I came for," | he said quietly. (To Be Continued.) HOW OLD ARE YOU BY YOUR HAIR?
