Whatever the nature of the communi-
to indicate that Maitland had decided
to spend the night elsewhere: for the
study light had burned for some ten
minutes. during which the %janitor could
occasionally be seen moving mys-
teriously about, and something later,
bearing n suitcase. he had left the
house and shufiied rapidly eastward to
Madison avenue.
So she felt convinced that she had all
the small hours before her, secure from
interruption. And this time, she told
herself, she purposed making assurance
doubly sure.
But first to guard against discovery
from the street.
Turning back through the hall she
dispensed with the hand-lamp, enter
ing the darkened study. Here all win
dows had been closed and the outer
shades drawn-O'Hagan's last act be-
fore leaving with the suitcase; addi-
tionai proof that Maitland was % eX-
pected back that night. For the tenn
perature was high, the air in the closed
room sitting.
Crossing to the windows, the girl
drew down the dark green inner shades
and closed the folding wooden shutters
over them, And was conscious of q
~deepened sense of security.
Next, going to the telephone. she re-
moved the receiver from the hook and
let il hang at the fun length of the
cord. In the dead silence the small
voice of central was clearly articu-
late: What number? Hello, what
number?"-followed by the grumbling
of the armature as the operator tried
fruitlessly to ring the disconnected bell.

Standing, hands resting lightly on

Especially does it do 50 in women,

Women very rarely possess this mag

1t is largely good breeding and culti-

Girls who study beauty books and

The Care of Goldfish.

Dear Miss Don
Please tell me why Il is tina I can
never keep goldfish, although I feed
them carefully and change the water
Ia the globes often. ] cannot under
stand 1t, and will wait anxiously for
your reply. ANXIOUS.
Perhaps you do not change the water
in the globe often enough. Unless it is
kept fresh the fish inside will die-they
will be drowned. It ma seem funny
to talk about fish being drowned, but
that is what actually happens. Fish
cannot live without breathing oxygen.
any more than you can and when the
oxygen in the water is exhausted they
die of suffocation. The smaller the
globe and the greater the number OF
fish in it the oftener you will have to
change the water.
