watching had tired them; they even
ceased to see clearly. Her brain had
become somnOlent. She was tired of
hearing these people talk. From the
moment that Jim Baker had stated that
the murdered man was his own son,
Louisa had known that he had spoken
the truth. Instinct was guiding her
toward the truth. showing her tn
truth. wherever possible. She listened
at first deeply interested-to the
scrappy evidence which told of Paul
Bakers early life. but the family from
Chaplain Junction road had marvel
lously little to relate. They no more
understood their adventurous spirited
son than they would nave been capable
of aiding and abetting the fraud which
he cOncocted.

II saw this" he said, .'in the Daily

The coroner took the paper from the
witness and laid 1t down on the table,
glancing at it casually. There had
been innumerable portraits of the muir
dered man published both in the morn
ing and h evening papers of yester-
day.

Baker. Il was at my work, you I'M

II take my oath, sir. Ask lis mother
there. She knows 'er own son. She'll
tell you just what vaccination marks e
ad on is arm, and abou the seal on

are hat sharp"
Jim Baker-feeling no doubt hat his
ordeal was nearly over-was losing his
nervousnessness, or perhaps 1t took a
new form, that Of jocularity. The COR
oner thought it best to check his efforts
at humor in the bud.
THAT will DEL" he said CURLY.
And the Chaplain b%ricklayer at once
retired within his shell of humble self
depreciation. He answered a few more
questions that the coroner put to him,
but clearly his own circle of vision was
SO circumscribed that, willing as he
undoubtedly was, he could throw no
light whatever on the unknown events
which led up to h extraordinary fraud
practised on the Earl of Radcliffe and
which eliminated in the mysterious
murder in the taxicab.
The father of the strangely enigmat-
ic personality, who indeed had taken
many a secret with him to the grave,
was far too Indifferent, too fatalistic,
to put forth any theory as to his sons
motives, or the inducements and temp
tations which a first given birth to
the astoundingly clever deception.
Wearied and impatient at last
the coroner CAV up his questionings.
He turned to the jury with h accus-
toned formula:
Would any of you gentlemen like to
ask this witness any Qu~estiOns?"
The foreman Of the jury wanted to
know if the witnesses son had any
birthmarks on him, Or other palpable
means of identification.
Yes, SIR" replied Jim Baker, "but is
mother'l tell you better'n me-she
knows ~best-about the vaccination
marks and ALL"
The foreman then asked the coro-
ner whether the jury would be allowed
to identify the marks. On being as
sured by the coroner that after ad-
jolrnment This very day every means
would be taken to c~orroborate Jim
Bakers statement, the jury seemed
satisfied.
And the coroner called the next
witness.

CHAPTER Xxx.
AND WHEN ONE WENT
HOME.

Though the IS getting late,
no one among the crowd thought Of
leaving the urt. Even the desire for
tea, SO peculiarly insistent at a certain
hour Of the day in the whole of the
British race, was smothered beneath
the wave of intense excitement which
swept right over every one.
Although the next witnesses-who
each in their turn came forward to the
foot of the table-swore to tell the
truth and faced the coroner with more
or lwess assurance, they could but re-
peat the assertions of the head of the
family; nevertheless the public seemed
ready to listen with untiring patience
to tho story which went to prove that
the man whom everybody believed to
be the heir OF one Of the Oldest TITLES
n richest rent-rolls in England was
the son of a Clapham bricklayer, a
master Of audacity and of fraud.
The mother-a worthy and simple
soul-was the first to explain that

something OF a gentleman. He had
done very we'll at school n ne5ei.

1t appeared too that the wastrel had

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO
NOT CARE.
For the first time in the whole course
of her life, Louisa Harris felt that con-
vention must be fiouted and social du-
ties could not be fulfilled.
When the coroner. rising from his
seat, gave the signal for general ex-
odus, she had felt her fathers firm
hand grasping her arm, and leading her
out Of the fog ridden, stuffy room into
the cold. gray passages outside.
The herd Of cackling geese were
crowding round her. Heavens above,
how they cackled and gossiped! II
seemed as II the very f1oodgates of a
noisy. bubbling stream had been torn
asunder, and a whirlpool of chattering
Convention, grim and untractable
tried to pull the string to make eli
puppets dance. But for once Louisa
Harris rebelled. She closed her ears
70 insinuating calls from her friends
responding with a mere curt nod to the
most gushing "Oh. Miss Harris! how
are your" which greeted her from ev-
cry side.
She turned her back resolutely or
convention. The slave for once re-
bel.ed against the taskmaster; the pup
pet refused to dance to the aver weary
ing monotonous tune
She had lost sight OF Luke the moment
the court rose. She supposed that his
solicitor. Mr.. Dobson. knowing the
ropes, had led him away from the reach
OF cackling geese by leading him
through some other more private way.
But she was far too dazed. too numb
either to wonder or to be disappointed
at this. She felt as IL she had pitched
head foremost down a long fight OF
stairs. n had only just had SUFFICIENT
strength to pick herself up ana not s.
let other people see quite how severely
she had been bruised.
Mentally, morally, even physically.
she felt bruised from head to foot.
Colonel Harris contrived to steer her
through the crowd; at the gate outside
even the smok laden atmosphere
seemed pure and in~vigorating in COM
p%arison with that stuffy pen. wherein
the herd OF cackling geese had found
its happy hunting ground. Louisa drew

with an equal effort at cheerfulness.

Where are you Off to, dear?" she
asked.
'Ill just go and have a talk to Torn"
he replied.
It'll come with you. I can wait in
the cab. I don't suppose that you'll be
long,"
He tried to protest. but obviously
n had made up her mind. Perhaps
she did not like the idea Of going back
to the hotel alone. So he hailed a pass
Ing cab and told the man to drive to
Scotland Yard.
He had deliberately-and despite
former prejudices-
selected a taxicab. He wanted to zee
Tom as soon as was possible.

PLAIN LINES MOST POPULAR
With None or Very Little
Trimming.

While the coarser linens are used,
those made of the finer twisted thread
are liked quite as we'll. Very little
trimming is needed. The lace collar
and cuffs or the lingerie frill at neck
and wrists suffice, though, of course,
buttons and buttonholes, lace and en-
broidery may figure as trimmings.
Oddly of cut is, however, the only
thing necessary for those who wish
something different. It is surely diff
ferent enough to have the back of the
coat and skirt cut across on the bias
or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such
manipulations offer no difficulties to
the laundress. These suits may be
made coat and skirt fashion or in the
coat and dress effect. Both styles
have their good points, many consid-
ering the former the most economical,
since a fresh blouse may be donned
as often as the wearer pleases. And
sleeves and necks do have way Of
becoming soiled before it is necessary
to send the entire dress to the laun-
dry.
Many dresses are being made, too,
in linen and kindred weaves. The Sc
verify of these all-in-one gowns is be-
ginning to disappear. While the puffs
seen on taffetas are not available there
are pipings, inlayings and bands in
contrasting fabrics.
Fancy linens and linens with open
work borders are effectively utilized,
though one who is at all clever at de-
signing will be able to achieve very
fine suits with the plain sorts. It's
the design, cut and finish that counts,
also the accessories. One girl, for ex-
ample, is to look smart in her white
linens this summer; the only color
she is to add is sapphire or coral, as
the spirit may move her. Whether she
chooses the blue or the odd pink
shade she will wear it in the shape of
silk stockings, ribbon watch fob and
necktie, and no other color will ap-
pear except she chooses to carry a
| parasol in the color she is wearing.

PRETTY JACKET FOR SUMMER
New Idea That Is Cool and May Be
Made Decidedly Attractive
Garment.

The most easily made combing
jacket which has been seen in many
q moon is the summery-looking affair
made of crepe de chine and consisting
of yard.long strip of the material
which is so very wide that when once
it is doubled the halves are deep
enough to cover a woman of ordinary
size from shoulders to hips.
Having determined which side of
the follower fabric is to be the front
Of the garment, split it straight up
ward twothirds Of the way to the fold
and from there slant both sides to
form deep V. That will leave, when
cut out, raw edge of several inches
length at the top of the back of the
Ijacket-to-be, and in order to make this
At against the nape of the neck, It
must be shirred onto the band of mar
row ribbon to which is hemmed the
sides of the fronts v as we'll as its
two split edges. The sleeves are
merely combinations Of the folds of
material that fall from the tops Of the
shoulders, and these cover only the
outer sides of the arm to the elbow.
Beneath the arms, the edges are tied
together with narrow ribbons, having
first been hemmed on to staying bands.
At the lower edge of the back and
fronts, however, there need be no
staying ribbon or other finishing, as
the doubled over material forms a
selvage edging.

Wired Feathers for Hats.

AS the hats are all trimmed very
high wired feathers arranged to sew
on hats may be purchased, and flow
ers also in pompon effects. One of
these feather tower effects costs $3.50;
others are near the one dollar margin;
the price varies according to the quail
ity and kind of feathers. Aigrettes are
are still in evidence, though more in
white than black. In buying white
ostrich feathers of the less expensive
grade it is we'll to run ones hand
gently down the length of the quill,
pressing back the feather to see that
it has been properly dyed, as these
are apt to show the blown of the nat
ural feather in the outdoor light and
the breeze.
