 AS soon as was outside jumped into cab and drove to the princi- pal photographers in Brussels.

From here 1 drove straight to police headquarters and had a talk with the chief. An hour later that photographer was ready to tell me the innermost secrets of his soul.

 "Of course not. The picture was a fake, made from a genuine one of Alice and a lady, perhaps her mother. This photographer had plotted out the lady and printed in the widow with out changing the pose. It's simple trick in photography"

 Coquenil had certainly chosen the busiest end of Paris for his meeting with Papa Tignol.
 Their rendezvous was at noon, but two hours earlier yiga0l tCcl1 the train at the St. Lazare station. And with him came Caesar-such changed un- recognizable Caesar. Poor dog, His beautiful, glossy coat of brown and white had been clipped to ridiculous shortness, and he crouched at the old mans feet in evident humiliation
 'lt was a shame, old fellow" said Tignol consolingly. but we had to obey orders. eh? Never mind. it will grow out again.
 Leaving the train at Auteuil. they walked down the Rue la Fontaine to tavern near the Rue Mozart, where the old man left Caesar in charge of the proprietor, friend of his. It was now a quarter to II. and Tignol spent the next hour riding back and forth on the circular railway between Auteuil and various other stations. He did this because COQuenil had charged him to be sure he was not followed. Finally. after an amusing adventure. he met Coquenil. who had disguised himself so cleverly as to deceive even Papa Tignol himself. Going to room in the Rue Poussin, Coquenil changed his disguise very materially. while Iii gnol gave him the latest news from his mother, who sent word that she was praying for his safety. Tignol later went out and procured the dog Caesar. The men then walked in the Bois toward Passy. and Coquenil re- counted important discoveries he had made in Brussels regarding Groener, the woodcarver.

reward, so don't accept what you don't
want, thinking it impossible to find
something that will exactly suit you.
Hangings are hard to find and, when
found, the colors are apt to soon take
on decidedly yellow cast, which is
very distressing. On this account 1t
seems better to use white or cream
and introduce your color in other ways.
With green for a color scheme per-
haps the prettiest furniture is the
birdseye maple, which is not quite as
popular as it was a few years ago,
but is just as. pretty. This is, of
course, always veneered and so must
have good care or the veneer viii
crack and curl With reasonable care
it will last practically lifetime. u
course, the cream or white enamel
furniture is good with green. In any
case, the introduction of a little pink
will add greatly to the dainty effect
The choice of pictures for the bed
room Is another important matter
Here is the place to use the framed
photographs of your friends, and these
should have light, delicate frames. The
gilt ones are good, or narrow band
of black or plain oak. Some of the
frames enameled in gray or cream are
also most attractive. Religious pic
lures are also appropriate. Copies Of
the best of the old masters may be
obtained at a reasonable price now
and show a familiarity with best in
art.
The way many girls litter up their
bedrooms with fish nets, dance pro-
grams, poor posters and post cards is
neither edifying nor artistic. These
things have value as souvenirs, but
had better be put away in boxes than
kept out as dust and germ catchers
Simplicity should be the keynote of
the bedroom. The old saying, SO oft
repeated and so seldom followed, to
"have little and that of the best"
should be followed here If nowhere
else, and the result will be cheerful,
dainty, restful room In which to spend
the many hours you sleep and the
hours when you are i'll and need cheer
and comfort most.
