Fontainebleau Forest. A party of hol-
iday-makers had been picnicking in
the neighborhood of Barbizon and had
gone for a ramble, when, passing
through some bushes, two of them
stumbled over a sack. They cut the
rope with which it was tied, and be-
held the headless body of woman.
/ Immediately went to Barbizon to
inspect the CHASTITY find. The head
was absent, the arms and legs were
mangled beyond recognition, and ac-
cording to the medical evidence the
crime must have been committed a
couple of days before. The skirt still
chung to the body. 1t was of silky
material called, think, foulard, of a
dark blue color with little white dots
printed all over 1t.
NV first thought, of course, was of
Nine. Servois, and | begged Nine,
Meiser and Josephine to assist me
in my Investigations. The condition
of the body rendered Identification
almost impossible, but Nine. MesieT
at once recognized the dress as hav-
ing belonged 10 neF lClSHu, WHSl0upoh
Josephine shook her head and de,
clared the white spots on her mis-
tress' gown were bigger.

SAID Nine. Mesier.
'I swear it is mott" exclaimed
Josephine.
Where did she buy the material, or
who made the dress?'' asked.
Unfortunately neither of them
knew. Nine. Servois had the year
before made tour through Germany
and had bought the costume there.
The body was transferred to Paris
and exposed in the morgue, where
upon matters became still more com
plicated, for a farmer from Lisieux
recognized the dress as that of his sis
ter. who had run away from her home
a month ago: and a corn merchant In
the Rue Vieille-du-Temple was equally
positive that it had belonged to his

Fashionable coIora.

This is the time of year when col.
ors change just as do hats and gowns.
Court blue is one of the latest. 1t is
. cross between electric and gen.
darme.
Taupe has shed It's brown tinge and
has acquired a tint like elephant
gray.
One of the prettiest blues is blue
Wig. a deep and yet bright shade.
Shrimp is the favored pink.
A glorious red which looks extreme
ly well with white, is called rouge
venetian
Chalk white is en- vogue.
Amaranth is a claret shade.
Verdigris is one Of the smartest
greens.
Mimosa is yellow that verges on
orange.

FASHIONS SPRING WILL BRING
From Present Outlook There Are TO
Be Many Changes From the
Prevailing Styles.

The spring mild of 1913 is to be
straight front, straight back, h1pleSs
and curveless, If fashionably attlred'
she will look like a straight hne'
with an obliquo line at the tops, SAID
oblique line being her hat, according
to the latest bulletins sent out by the
suit and cloak makers conventions
in Chicago.
Skirts are to be perfectly straight,
looking like an envelope Jackets are
to be the same. Narrow skirts will
prevail, hence they will be slashed
so that the wearer may move with
some degree of safety. The slash
may be in the back, front or side.
The slash will extend to a point just
below the knee and will be skilfully
concealed by pleats.
For plump, rotund women, who can
not wear the positively straight lines.
the fashion-makers have taken les
son from the unspeakable Turk. For
plump women there will be skirts OF
the voluminous, sheet-like robe of the
desert roamer drawn tightly about
the ankles and full at the top. Orien-
tai colors also will be drawn upon
heavily in the new styles.
Returning to the slender woman,
Jackets will be cut on the same
| straight lines as the skirts. The cut
away pattern will prevail, and this
calls for some decoration to fill in
the front. For this purpose there will
be a waistcoat, exactly like mans
vest. to finish the open coat. The
spring coats will be striking of stripes
and checks, the one finding the most
favor among designers being the "rah-
rah" 40 inches long, made OK cream
goods with a tan stripe.

divorced wife. How, in view of these
to trace the murderer? l instructed
my chief assistant to follow up the
vague clues supplied by the farmer
and the corn merchant, and imposed
upon myself the task of discovering
whether there was connecting link
betwee Nine. Servois' disappearance
and the finding of the body.
The coincidence of Auguste having
been seen at Nogent-sur-Marne, the
day Nine. Servois called there on her
friend, had caused me to have his
lodgings watched night and day. But,
thus far, he had not turned up there
nor at his favorite haunt, where Claire
was still waiting for him every night.
l next saw Nine. Servois' lawyer, who
was very anxious about his client.
Young Edouard," he said, has al
ready been to see me several times.
He knows that in the event of his
aunt's death he will inherit large
share Of her property and his
thoughts seem to run more on the
money than on the fate that may
have befallen her. NJ Goron, do you
really think that the body found is
that of Nine. Servois?''
I'm the face of all these contradic-
tions,' l replied, Il cannot give an
opinion. Since the day Nine. Mesier
rightly or wrongly recognized the re-
mains as those of the missing woman
l have had nothing but supposition to
guide me-"
At Nine. Servois' bankers, I learned
that she kept her securities at home
in an iron safe, and regularly with
drew the greater part of the sums
collected for her Neither they nor
the lawyers had the faintest idea how
much money she had in her posses
sion, as she never volunteered any
statement; but they thought the
amount must be considerable.
/ was growing impatient Thus far
no fact that could in any way assist
my search had been brought to light
Certain deductions led me to suppose
that Nine. Servois might have been
murdered, while at other moments |
was inclined to agree with Josephine
that the body found in the Fontaine-
bleau Forest was not that of her mis-
tress. But, in that case, what had be-
come of her?

through this mist it was reported to

Remedies for Colds.

Baked lemons and fiaxseed lemon
AIDE are old reliable remedies for colds.
The Juice Of a lemon beaten together
with the white of an egg and little
sugar or honey is favorite remedy
for singers and public speakers when
threatened with hoarseness. And for
certain varieties of headache physi-
clans often recommend the juice of a
whole lemon squeezed into cup OF
strong black coffee, while every one
knows or should know, that for
the bad taste" in the mouth in the
morning nothing is so satisfactory
as a lemon, cut in half and sucked as
one would suck an orange.

Severe styles are now the designs
of the fashionable Partisan dress de-

latest creation known as the Monks

It is of white broadcloth with tiny
white crochet buttons down the front

sage and skirt are made in one and
is attached by belt of the same ma

PADDING Cord.

In making Irish crochet, the padding
should be of linen thread. Some work
ers use cotton thread for padding,
which is cheaper, but it does not give
the proper crispness to the work; aft
or it is washed certain limpness is
noticeable. Irish crochet work, well
made over padding of linen thread,
never needs to be stiffened with
starch.

Yell Defiance
at Blood Disorders
A Remedy That Has Shown a Most
Remarkable Purifying
Effect,

The word medicine IS one Of the
most abused in our language. There
are certain medicinal properties just
as necessary to health as the food we
eat Take, for example, the we'll
known tonic medicine S. s. S. This
famous blood purifier contains medic
inal cOmpOnents just as vital and
essential to healthy blood as the ele-
ments OF wheat, roast beef, the fats
and the sugars that make up our daily
ration.
As a matter Of fact. there is one
ingredient in s. S. S. which serves the
active purpose Of stimulating each
cellular part Of the body to the healthy
and judiciOus selection Of its own
essential nutriment That is why It
regenerates the blood supply; why it
has such a tremendous influence in
overcoming eczema, rashs pimpIes, and
all skin Affections.
And in regenerating the tissues
s. s. S. has a rapid and positive anti
dOtal effect upon all those irritating
influences that cause rheumatism, sore
throat, weak eyes. falling hair, loss OF
weight, thin pale cheeks, and that
WEAKNESS Of muscle and nerve that is
generally experienced as spring fever.

cisco Admits Passing Too Severe
Eentence

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-superior
Judge William P. Lawler, who SEN
tenced Alexander Hagen to eighteen
years in the penitentiary seven years
ago for robbery, now is trying to get
him out
The sentence was made severe, the
Judge admits, mostly because in addi-
tion to the theft OF $40 for which it
was imposed, evidence was offered TO
show that Hagen, an c1-convict, had
stolen a whole kit of carpenter's tools
from a poor policeman who was trying
to put him on his feet.
Within the last month il became
known to prison workers that the tools
never were stolen.
Hagen, after serving three years of
his sentence, escaped by sliding down
cable over the American river, but
was recaptured and tried TO commit SUI
eide by hanging himself in his cell.
Twice he saw the policeman who lent
him the tools, but, supposing that this
part Of the testimony had been
Hframed" by his enemies In the police
department, he said nothing about it.
and the would-be good Samaritan, not
having heard any Of tho evidence at
the trial, remained ignorant,
