of what at the worst, was only an in

he had contrived to throw such a glamour
of evil and suspicion about II that the
young wife, terrified of her severe and
elderly husband. had, for so long as her
resources permitted, paid the exorbitant
sums of hush money the man demanded,
and, when they failed, had taken her own
life rather than face the exposure he
threatened.
The suicide of the Princess Karazoff
and host of other less startling scandals
had brought Deschanel, as SAKE called
himself, and his Beauty Paror into un-
enviable notoriety. He had closed the
place and decamped before inquiry could
be made, and for years since the prince
had been seeking to unravel the secret
motive of that tragedy. Now at Jex' S

listened to the story of how Paul SAKE,

this big Beauty Parlor in Paris, and, by
the aid of quacks and nostrums, the

given to the plenipotentiaTies by their
respective countries.
Oman Miami Pasha, chief envoy
of Turkey, entered a formal protest
to the presence in the peace confer

withdraw from the conference if Pre-

remained. but the other Balkan dele,

TO sit in the conference at least until
they could obtain fresh instructions
from C0nsfantinople.
The Greek representatives refused
to sign the protocol when invited to do
