Fitzgerald cast an idle glance at the

them, some of them playing cards and
some displaying talent on a pool table,
badly worn and beer-stained. There
was nothing distinctive about any of
them, excepting the little man who was
reading an evening paper. and the only
distinctive thing about him WA a pair
of bright eyes. Behind their gold

up to the door and pulled the ancienA

The broad door opened and an English
butler, having sc~rutinized his facoA
silently motioned him to be seated. Thet
young man in search of an adventure
selected the far end of the hall seat

The street was dim and more than
once he stumbled over a loose board In
the wooden walk. IL the admiral had
been the right kind of philanthropfst he
would have furnished stone. But. then,
IL was one thing to give a country town
something and another TO force the town
council into accepting 1t. The lamp
posts, also OF wood, stood Irregularly
apart, often less han 100 feet, and
sometimes more, lighting nothing but
their Immediate vicinity. Fitzgerald
could see the lamps plainly, but could
separate none of the objects round or
beneath. That is why he did not see
the face Of the man who passed him In
a hurry. He never forgot a face, IL 1t
were n mans; his only difficulty was
In placing II at once. Up to this time
one woman resembled another; femi-
nine faces made no particular impress
sion on his memory. He would have
remembered the face of the man who
had Just passed, for the very fact that
no had thought of Ii often. The man
had come into tho dim radiance OF the

blackness Of the night again, leaving

was not an unpleasant climb, only
dark. The millionaire's home seemed
to grow up out of a fine park. There
was a great iron fence enclosing the
grounds, and the lights on top of the
gates set the dull red trunks OF tho
pines a-glowing. There were no lights
shining In the windows OF the pretty
lodge. Still, the pedestrians gate was
ajar. He passed in, fully expecting to
be greeted by h growl of a dog. In
stead, he heard mysterious footsteps
on the gravel. He listened. Some one
was running.
Hello, there!" he called.
No answer. The sound ceased. The
runner had evidently taken to the 81
lent going of the turf. Fitzgerald came
to a stand. Should he go on or return
to the hotel? Whoever was running
had no right here. Fitzgerald rarely
carried arms. at least in civilized coun-
tries; a stout cane was the best
weapon for general purposes. HeS
swung this lightly.

about the fuzzy growth on your face, hut
It IS nothing to worry over. as II can be
quickly removed IL you will follow these
simple directions; Buy an ounce of dela~
ton from the druggist and mix a little
with water to make a stiff paste. Spread
thickly IN the hairy surface and let re-
main two or three minutes, then scrape
off paste and wash the skin carefully.
This removes the hairs without injuring
the skin, and while delatone is a trine, ex-.
pensiVe, it does the work and Is not as
costly nor as troublesome as the electric
needle. -
Patience: Gray switches are quite ex-
pensive, and before buying one l would
advise a tratment for the hair and scalp
which. / am sure, will soon restore your
hair to its natural color and healthy CON-
dition. A splendid recipe to use Is the fol-
lowing: Buy an ounce of quinzoin from ths
druggist and dissolve In half-pint alcohol,
then add one-half pint water, and shake
well. MaSsaging the scalp gently with this
inexpensive tonic promotes a healthy
growth, overcomes that dry, harsh condi-
ton Of the scalp, and restores the hair
to its natural color and softness. 1t would
also be well to use the canthrox shampoo
