First Owners of Furs,

Women who expect to buy furs this
winter show a lively interest in t4e
Zoo animals" said Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper. 'They want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs were made over for them.
THE recent warnings against imita-
tion furs have made them particular
ly curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur Of live
lynx with cat or a rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent Investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind Of an animal caracul grows on,
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection so often
that they have become as blase as a
New York show girl"

stood between us.
You must remember, Mr.. Blakeley,
that you are forcing this story from

ant, but important. You were going

turning to Sullivan, although you al
ready had a wife living?"

in a bad way for money. If / could

"Oh, very WELL" he said with as
sumed Indifference.

Richey's grasp and crossed the room.

asked eagerly.

Harrington about five years ago. She
was a good girl, and thought a lot
OF her. But her father opposed the
marriage-he'd never liked me, and he
refused to make any sort of settle

Il had thought, of course, that there
would be money, and 1t was a bad day
when | found out I'd made a mistake.
My sister vas wild with disappoint-
ment. We were pretty hard up, my
sister and l."
| was watching Alison. Her hands
were tightly clasped in her lap, and
she was staring out of the window at
the cheerless roof below. She had
set her lips a little, but that was all.
You understand, of course, that I'm
not defending myself" went on the
sullen voice. The day came when
old Harrington put US both u of the
house at the point of a revolver, and
| threatened-I suppose you know
that, tool threatened to kill him.
MY sister and l had hard times
after that. We lived on the contin-
ent for a while. l was at Monte Car
10 and she was in Italy. She met a
young lady there, the granddaughter
of a steel manufacturer and an heir
ess, and she sent Tor me. When | got
to Rome the girl was gone. Last WIN
ter | was all in-social secretary TO

with a new title, but W. had a row
and | came home. l went out to the
Heaton boys ranch in Wyoming, and
met Bronson there. He lent me mon.
ely. and I've been doing his dirty work
ever since"
Sullivan got up then and walked
slowly forward and back as he talked,
his eyes on the faded pattern OF the
office rug.
IF you want to live in hell" he
said savagely, put yourself in anoth-
er mans power. Bronson got into
trouble, forging John Gilmore's name
to those notes, and In some way he
learned that a man was bringing the
papers back to Washington on the
Filler. He ever learned the number OF
his berth, and the night before the
wreck. just as l was boarding the
train, | got a telegram"
Hotchkiss stepped forward once
more Importantly.
which read, l think: Man with
papers in lower ten, car seven. Get
them"
Sullivan looked at the little man
with sulky blue yes.
1T was something like that, any
how. But 1t was a nasty business,
and It made matters worse that he
didn't care hat a telegram which
must pass through a half dozen hands
