Sometimes panels of contrasting col

panel effects are steadily growing in

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Mysterious Signal.


So Locke, as well as Forbes, had
traced us to Alterhoffen Was their
arrival here, so soon after ourselves,
merely a coincidence? Or could they
have travelled together? Locke had
certainly given me to understand that
he had never seen Sir Mortimer or his
mother and sister. Nor had 1 reason
to suppose that he knew the kings
messenger-at least two days ago.
If 1t we're true that he had met hone
OF these people previous to my leaving
Lucerne, IL IL were true that he did
not know them even now-what could
have brought Locke hither?
One of three things might have hap
pened:
Locke may have been keeping a Wig
liant watch on the movements of the
Countess Sarahoff.
Captain Forbes might have traced
us here yesterday and have Joined
forces with Locke.
Or Locke may have been watching
me. rather than Madame de WARMER
and have posted after me, rather than
after herself and her companion.
1t required little imagination to rea
son out the affair.
Two days ago he had seen me con
versing on apparently intimate terms
with the Countess Sarahoff. a motto

Eyelet work is much liked this spring
as it has been among the previous

really smart lingerie gowns combine

The Startling Message.

She had looked up, only TO be blind
ed by the dancing flame. She held her
hands before her eyes. The flame per-
sistently annoyed her. She moved
from her seat. 1t pursued her.
Again she looked up; and even from
this height ! could see that she was
frowning in her anger and annoyance.
She seated herself at another bench.
But she could not shake off her tor
mentor. 1t no longer beat on her face
and person; it moved steady toward
her, then travelled along the path of
the promenade; trespassed into the
garden of cottage; shot by the cot

long advertisement in French pro-
claiming the exalted merits of a Swiss

Then she had lost interest in its move

anxiously the chateau opposite.
Patiently and persistently the little
beam of light repeated its antics.
Again it moved, swiftly this time, to
the signboard. And now she turned in
her seat and watched it until it again
paused at the letter 1.

When, therefore, Captain Forbes had

had told of the Imprisonment in this

He had flashed his message success
fully. Helena understood. She looked
upward toward the chateau, nodded
excitedly. and again eagerly watched
the signboard. She was not to be dis
appointed. The message was not quite
complete. These two words were
added:

Parasols 10 Match Costume.

This year one of the unwritten laws
of fashion is that a special parasol in
colors to match the dress and hat
must be designed for each toilette,
and that the old idea of becoming
possessed of a white or red sunshade
which is destined to do duty on every
occasion is no longer permissible
where the well-dressed woman is con-
cerned. A compromise has. however,
been made TO economy in the case of
the cretonne parasol, which accords
admirably with any of the new gowns
of lowered muslin or chiffon, and
which is lightly yelled with drawn
white or ivory net to give a softness
and illusion to the scheme. In some
instances the cretonne parasol can
hardly be distinguished from brocade,
especially when it is worked over in
thick floss silk and finished all around
with frill of lace.
