tcontinued From Yesterday,

The Old man did not wait Tor u second
bidding. he stepped forward quickly
and took down the picture.
"'Tonnere de Dieu!' he cried. tits
truei There are two holes"
sure enough, against the white wall
stood out not ono but two black holes
about an Inch in diameter n some-
thing less than three inches apart.
Around the left hole, which was close
to the sideboard, We're black dots
s%prinkled over the painted woodwork
like grains of pepper,
Powder marks!" muttered Coquenil,
examining the hole. HE fired at close
range as Martinez looked into this room
from the other side. Poor chap, That's
how he was shot In the eye.p And pro-
ducing a magnifying glass, the detec-
tive made n long and careful examine
ton OF the holes while Papa Tignol
watched him with unqualified disgust.
Asses! Idiotsi That's what we
are" muttered the old man. For half
al hour we were IN that room, Gibeiin
and ], and we never found those holes"
"They were covered by the sofa hang
ings."
II know. we shook those hangings.
we pressed against them, we did every
thing but look behind them. See here,
did you look behind them2'
"No, but I saw something on the floor
that gave me an idea"
"Ahi what was that7'
"Some yellowish dust. l picked up a
little of 1t, There He unfolded q pa
per and showed q few grains Of coarse
brownish powder. 'sYou see there are
only board partitions between these
rooms. the boards are about an inch
thick, so q sharp augcr would make the
holes quickly. But there would be dust
and chips"
"Of COURSE
well, this Is some Of the dust. The
woman probably threw the chips out of
the window"
THE woman"
CoquepIi nodded, "She helped Marti-
neg while he bored the holes \
Tignol listened in Management. You
think Martinez bored those holes? The
inan who was murdcfed2v'
"Dndoubtedly, The spirais from the
auger blade inside the holes show
plainly that the boring was done from

ever TO himself? Did he honestly be-
lieve all the plausible things he had
said to Pougeot and the others about
this crime? Was 1t really the wonder,
fui affair he had made out? After all
what had he acted on? A girls
dream and an ddd coincidence. Was
that enough? Was that enough TO
make a man alter his whole life and
face extraordinary danger? Was II
enough?
Extraordinary danger! Why lid this
sense OF imminent peril haunt him n
fascinate him? What was there in
this crime that made IL different from
many other crimes on which he had
been engaged? Those holes through
the wall? Well, yes, be had never
seen anything quite like that,
and the billiard players motive
in boring the holes and the woman's
role ard the intricacy and ingenuity Of
the murderer's plan-all these offered
an extraordinary problem. And IT GER

ing from several cases that have come
under my observation it is foolish for
a girl to marry a man whose mother
in any way objects. You are wasting
the best years of your life. Simply tell
him that while you will still remain
friendly with him that it is better to
terminate the engagement.

To Restore Color to Silk.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have a dark blue silk with white
stripes In it. The bottom Of the skirt
was wet, and 1t took out the color.
Can anything be done to restore the
colors? WAITING,
1t is doubtful il anything can be done
with the silk now so far as the color Is
concerned. You might try ammonia
water. slightly diluted. But rain water
is muddy and dirty, and there Is little
possibility Of making the skirt like new
unless you take some Of the silk and
stitch folds over the hem to represent
wide tucks. This will hide the defect
and make the skirt look fresh and
smart. The first tuck can be wider
than the two above II,
