EDITOR once more, ana he ceased to re-
member the tive In their far corner.
Possibly nm hour had gone by when
Standish passed on some errand of his
work In the ncighborhood of the big
Engiishman and the little lIindoo lad.
Recalling the nature of their task, he
remarked that the man had n bulky
pile of completed sheets before him and
that his hand was still travelling rap
idly over the paper without any inter.
ruption OF his smoking. But Standish
was attracted by the little Hlndoo. He
sat in the attitude which Indian art
has familiariZcd among the western
nations by the Images of the countless
! gods OF the peninsula. The lads eyes
were rivctcd on II ball of glass or crys-
tai which he held in the palms of his
two hands, the fingers being intcrlnccd
In his lap. In II soft monotone he was
speaking rapidly to his companion In
u liquid speech which the editor could
not identify, but which he thought was
probably some one of the many Hindoo
tongues. AS he passed by them Stand
ish found his glance caught by the gilt
ter of the toy which the boy held, and
In the moment of passing he seemed to
see n picture In the glitter, n picture M
of something happening somewhere. 1t

whether imported or made by domcs-
tic talent, are all extensive as to train
and in a number of cases show elbow
sleeves and rather open throated bod
ices.
BrOcadcd satin, once typical of we'd
ding splendor, is entirely suppressed
ed by plain duchess satin and by
ivory white crepe de chine, II now,
as ever, lace seems the most important
garniture. The prcttiest and most pop
ular modern lace is Louis Quinzc,
which is more stable than blond, but
possesses much of its fairylike frasil-
ity of charm.
1t Is an interesting and commcndablc
feature in bridal fashions that the
strict mode OF the hour al be quite
dispensed with in the designing of a
marriage dress. and the object of every
bride and her dressmaker is to work
out some scheme of cut and drapery
hat will he highly becoming, no mat
ter what the prevailing regulations
may be. For this reason, save in n
large general way, 1t Is futile to lay
down n cut and dried rule for a we'd
ding costume. 1t may be a scant skirt
ed, short wasted relapse into the mode
of 1912, a fiat throated. pouched body
with bolero jackets Of lace OF an eel
skirt and high cut body with choker
collar. Nobody will ever rise up to say
tina the dress is not fashionable, pro-
vided it becomes its wearer, for that is
the first and last duty of a wedding
gown.
An imported marriage robe Is one
delicate froth to the knees of small silk
muslin LOUNGES. and the remainder of
the costume is in very heavy white
crepe de chine embroidered in clusters
of small lilies.
There is coming in a strong feeling
against leaving the white gown and
misty veil to serve in the great cere-
mony without the aid of jewels, and
unless all signs fail there is good rea-
son to believe that the bridal jewels at
the forthcoming marriages will be one
of the most interesting features Of the
tableau. Curiously enough, however,
the jewels are being used at the eX-
pense of the traditional orange bios
sons that have drifted almost out Of
sight. These, when worn at all, APP

Of it was the simple word news" The
boy said that the mar outside was
two-that is, there were himself land
n kid, n sort of circus coon" The sug-
gcstion as TO news secured an entrance
for Mr.. Wills Mayhem and the certain
~ of at least n moments hearing.
News Is what a paper tratiics In, and
no chance to secure IL, no matter how
unpromising, may be neglected. The
man was seen to be of that type of the
British subject for which there is but
one adjective-well fed. The easily
recognizable signs of his origin were
sufficiently pronounced to be unmistak-
able, yet not great enough to attract to
hin uncomfortable comment in II
crowd. In his companion, n boy in
breeches, Standish saw n sight less
usual In n newspaper local room. The
boy mt the door had spoken of him as
n 'sort of circus coon," but he was
clearly not II negro. The hair showed
that, and its evidence was confirmed
by the regularity of the features and
the transparent depth of the dark
brown complexion. A little spot paint
ed between the eyebrows showed the
lad to be a uindoo.
Wills Mayhem explained to Standish
that he had the full story of a murder
which had just been done in n resi-
dence street up town and that rs he
wanted n place he would write ii up to
show what he could do.
But all that sort of thing" replied
Standish, lis supplied us by regular
channels of information. The police
will report the facts in the case, and
then, after making our own inyestiga-
tions, we shall give 1t the space which
1T may deserve"
''This n is different" rejoined the
E~nglishman. without this story Of
mine you will never learn of the tragic
allure of the death, for the body when
found will display no signs other than
those which attend a sudden but nat
ural DEATH"
"Such a thing is most improbable"
said Standish, turning as about 10 fin
ish the interview. Il do not think that
we need consider such a case"
STILL" said Wills Mayhem, iii will
do no harm to try. Just let me sit down
here n write up the story, and then
you can see what ii amounts to. You
can form from il your own Judgment.
No other paper will know anything
about it, and over here you seem 10 at
tach considerable importance TO that
sort of thing"
The Englishman went to a desk in a
distant corner of the Dor and sa,
down TO write, the little Hindoo squat
ting with legs crossed on n chair AT his
side. Standish watched them take theiI
places and noticed that at the same
time that this man with the story OF
murder, and an exclusive murder a
that, drew a bunch of copy paper be
fore him he began to get out pipe and
pouch al one who prepares to DO

The serious consequences to which Scrofula sure'l leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital inn
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect n cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr.. ii. T.. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga, writes: "a
