IN MEMORY OF JOHN WILSON
Aged 30.

The stone was quite new. Around
it were only wooden crosses and the
simple memorials of the poor.
The grave on which the record of
John Wilson's death stood was a com.
paratively new one, but already the
stone had sunk little. 1t had been
placed in position too soon.
While May, lost in thought, stood
gazing through her tears at the last
resting place of the man who had used
her. so cruelty, and whose fate had
been such an unhappy one, she became
.ware that some one was standing
near her.
She turned and saw middle-aged
man who looked like a superior arti.
san observing her curi0usly.
She was startled and her face
flushed.

man, "but did you know John Wilson q

CHAPTER XVII.
In the Cemetery.

1t was bright Sunday morning, and
the little Midland town at which May
Wilson had alighted the previous even
ing was sleepy and silent. 1t was nine
o'clock when May came from the hotel
in which she had stayed for the night
and proceeded on foot in the direction
of the cemetery in which Hank had
told her that her husband was buried
and that stone had recently been
put over his grave by the faithful
friends in whose house he died.
She had inquired the way at the no.
tel, and the directions given her had
been explicit. She thought she would
walk, as it was not very far.
Inspector Millett had gone to anoth.
er hotel for reasons of his own, but he
was early astir. He had dressed him
self as well-to-do artisan in his Sun
day clothes, and from the corner OF
the street kept watch upon the door Of
the hotel.
AS soon as he saw May Wilson leave
he followed her at respectful dis
lance.
May Wilson entered the cemetery
and looked about for some one to di
rect her to the portion of it of which
she was in search. But it was Sunday
morning. and there was no one about
TO whom she could appear.
So she went back to the gates, and
at a little lodge discovered the gate
keeper, who was sitting comfortably il
an arm chair reading weekly paper
She asked him to direct her to the
part Of the cemetery she wanted, ant
a few minutes later she discovered hel
husbands grave.
1t was with white face ana we
checks that she gazed at the head

FALSE HAIR FOR MEN,.
Patches Adjusted So That Bald Spots
Cannot Be Detected.

Patches Adjusted So That Bald Spots
Cannot Be Detected.
There are more bald headed young
men in the higher circles, said a sup.
plier of hirsute deficiencies the other
day than people would think. But
that is because very little of it is re-
vealed to the curious glance. Most
young men grow bald Immediately
above the forehead, which leaves a
triangular space, or on the center of
the head. The first place is very ca.
silly concealed by patch which looks
as natural as the real thing.
These patches are readily adjusted
and may be brushed in any style
They are rather expensive though
that is, If man desires something
which will completely battle the at
tempts of the suspicious at detection
and they cost from ELS to ESQ., ac-
cording to size and finish. could
name twenty young men who sport
these patches and whose hair is uni
versalfy admired by the fair sex.
Concerning that particular spot on
the top of the head where the hair
is especially feeting, any number of
men whose ages range between twen-
ty-five and forty are so decorated
They do not cost SO much as the frs:
named patches, but are just as easily
adjusted and present the same im-
penetrable finish.
There are not SO many complete
wigs sold as there were twenty years
ago; in fact, 1t is hard to get wig
which does not, tgive itself away
and this is worse than thin hair or
badness.
The color mostly In vogue concern
ing wigs is dark brown, for most men
have that color of hair. Black haired
and etremely light haired men seldom
become bald at an early age. When
they do 1t is generally on the center
of the head. ST p

Il thought you must be-" replied the
man, without answering her question
because nobody else would look SO
long at poor Jacks grave"
"Yod knew him?" exclaimed May.
Eyes; come most Sunday mornings
to have look at his grave"
Was it at your place he died?" said
May. Were you the friend, then, who
took him in and sheltered him in his
last illness?"
Inspector Millett had gathered sufi
cient from Mays display of gratitude
to understand exactly what Hank must
have told her.
1T was at my place he died, poor
chap he said, quietly. Il did what
could for him, for we were old pals be
fore he got into trouble-but it was nc
good. Two of his pals in London came
down here to see him just before the
end. Which of 'em told you?"
May was completely taken off her
guard. Hank had told her that it was
in the house of pal" John Wilson
had died, and she believed that this
was the 'pal'' who was talking to her
HE didn't tell me his name" she
said, "but he was broad-shouldered
man with beard"
"A brown beard turning bit gray!'
exclaimed the stranger. 'Ah, that was
one of the chaps as came from London
to see poor Jack. He stopped for the
finish. OF course, it was him as told
you where we'd buried jack"
yes. he told me-but only the 9TH
er day, or l should have come sooner"
May asked for particulars of her hus-
bands last illness, but the man was
not inclined to be communicative.
Some one came along the pathway and
he raised his hat and moved away,
leaving May by her husbands tomb.

Outside the gates Of the cemetery
Inspector Millett gave q little low
whistle, partly. of establishment, partly
of satisfaction.

expensive man in London! He's been
in communication with May Wilson all
the time. What does it mean? What
does this grave mean?" shall go into
the matter with the cemetery people? ?

Hank told the officer that he sup.
posed he was keeping the house un-
der observation. and the officer ac-
knowledged that he was. To deny it
would have been foolish.
Hank said that he had failed to
find any trace of Wilson. and was
waiting to see the young wife and tell
her so.
Then his manner became more con.
fdential. and he told the Scotland
Yard man that he believed Miss Will
son had herself received information
from another source MY belief is"
said Mr.. Hank. that Wilson is dead,
and his wife knows it"
When the detective.inspector in
charge of the case at the Yard receiv.
ed the telephone message he was
r.ore mystifed than ever.
She's employing Hank, is she?" he
said; zone of the most expensive in
curry agents in London-snd Hank
can't tell her anything. If she is ig
norant of her husbands fate she cant
be engaged to Mr. Allister. But the
people at The Winery, who are in her
confidence, say she is. Shall 1 go and
see Hank? No. I'll let them all run
loose for a bit-one or other of them

of the Pandora theater, was announc-
ed Harold Buckingham saw the an

The baronet acceded to the request
and listened to Harold's remon-
strances with an air of calm indiffer-
efce that bordered on insolence.
"Tou have wife-a wife living.
exclaimed the young man, Indignantly.
IF you persist in attempting to carry
out the crime you contemplate, in mar
rying this other woman, warn you
that l shall use every means in my
power to prevent you.''
What means can you use?" replied
Sir Mark. calmly. You do not, 1 pre-
sumo, propose to go to the police and
explain that your elder brother is an

Sir Mark Brettingham uttered the

youth.
Harold Brettingham felt the ground
slipping away from him. He saw the
danger Of warning Claire Barton. The
girl was not likely to accept such a
Estatement without proof, and what
proof could he give her?

"1'll give you 20 guesses and will

"Oh, you'll never guess. 1t was the
number of houses with carriageways

II never saw SO many in any city
in this country. Some of the houses
hadn't more than ten feet of lawn be-
tween them and the sidewalk. That
made no difference. The drive took
shallow dip into the yard, grazed
the front steps and went out on the
other side.
II developed sort of mania for
counting the houses with drive
ways. l found them in the most un.
expected places.
Some 25-foot front houses in a
solid block would, have almost the en-
tire scrap of front yard bitten out by
the; curve of the driveway. Where
the houses were on lots which occu-
pied narrow spaces between. two
streets the driveway would run
straight through the house; go I'm on
one street and come out on the other.
Somehow nothing ever gave me- a
more vivid impression of the impor-.
lance Of Washington functions than
these driveways did. What If they
did slash right through the sidewalks?
The carriages to be accommodated
would carry oflcialdom, and 1T had
the right of way there.
