TODAY's INSTALLMENT.

81 think Mr.. Kayton is planning to
leave town this evening, but you might
be able to see him before he goes" he
said.
Leave town!--for how long," demand
ed Bruce.
Seeing MIR. kayton.
II can't say" replied the manager. eff
you will excuse me moment l will
see if l can get Mr.. Kayton on the phone"
The young man fidgeted in the ante
room for three or four minutes until the
manager returned to him, smiling benev
olently
'Mr. Kayton does not leave for an
hour" he said, land he will be pleased TO
have you call at his hotel at once"
Bruce got the address and FASTENED out.
Twenty minutes later he was indicted
into the presence of the detective, whose
remarkable successes had made two hemi-
spheres ring with his name. He was
credited with second sight and seventh
sense and all sorts of things. He told re
porters that there was nothing in his
career but hard work, common sense and
remembering that two and two always
make four and never four and half or
three and three-quarters
After they had shaken hands Bruce
gazed at the great crime expert curl
ously. He saw a man of possibly forty
years, who looked younger. He was
shaved with scrupulous care, his hair was
brushed until each hair seemed to ht
into its exact spot, his clothes fitted him
perfectly and he looked as if he had been
gro6ned for hours His eyes were either
brown or black, but they glowed, or
smouldered or sparkled so constantly that
no one could tell. His nose was well
formed but not prominent, and the same
was true of the line Of jaw and chin The
mouth was at once strong and sensitive.
The expression was one of placid repose,
as if it had been cultivated to conceal the
whir of The volcanic mind behind IL, just
as his subdued manner but imperfeCtly
concealed the tireless energy of the man.
~ am sorry I can give you only a few
minutes" he said, in a soft, pleasant
voice without waiting for Bruce to state
the nature of his errand. you want to
consult me about that terrible affair of
your father Did you want me to look
into it?"
Yes" Bruce blurted out. The detecr
tive nodded.
II see," he said, VERY well have
carte blanche as to expense?"
mo Guarantees"
Certainly" replied Bruce instantly,
IF you can throw any light on this awful
thing you can spend all the money you
please"
Mr.. Kaytons lips twitched very slight
". There is never any difficulty under
those circumstances, Mr.. Argyle" he
said. 1.-THE trouble is in getting people
to pay expenses when they can't see re-
suits. l furnish no guarantees"
Bruce gazed directly at him for a mo-
ment, and then said slowly: I'm asking
you to take this case, Mr. Kayton, l was
fully prepared to pay all of the expenses
Of the investigation and pay you what
ever fee you consider reasonable"
Gwen talk about the fee when / de-
liver the goods" replied the detective
quietly. 81 am sorry to dismiss you, but

that is half of the game. No one ever
was a mascot or could bring people
good luck who didn't absolutely be-
lieve In his or her certain powers to
get the better of misfortune and ad-
verse circumstances.
Red hair is very interesting: at
least, it is to me-" Miss Davies went on,
because it is so changeable. The COL
or Of the hair seems to change with the
degree of vitality Yes, probably the
luck changes, too. so to keep luck one
ought to keep ones hair as red as pos
sible."
II am old the 'hennaspray' Is the lat
est thing in shampoo" interrupted.
But that is the false red that can
have nothing to do with luck, as it has
very little to do with beauty. Artifi-
cially colored hair never looks right
no matter how cleverly it is done There
are other ways of bringing back the

"a

natural red CLEAN to the hair" insisted
the beautiful young actress.
RED hair grows dark because 1t
lacks sunshine and ventilation. People
with red hair should wear hats as little
as possible, especially when they notice
that the hair is beginning to darken.
It's a pity that we can't go around
with our hair braided down our backs,
in the house at all events, for hair needs
all the ventilation and airing it can get,
especially since we have begun tOswear
those tight-fitting hats and keep them
on all day. This is what ruins the color
Of the hair. and the only thing that will
bring back the color is sunshine and
air, and last, but not least, a careful
diet.
81 don't know what doctors say on
this subject" continued Miss Davies
but ! am perfectly certain that the
condition Of the hair is affected by the
condition Of the stomach, and that
people lose their hair or see it grow
| dark and ugly because they eat not
wisely nor well.
II go about as much as I can in the
open air without any hat at all. OF
course, an open air life makes one feel
healthy and vigorous and whenever
can enjoy country life, l find that my
hair grows a brighter and prettier red.
and that have no trouble in handling
it. You know" explained the 1918
beauty hair that won't stay put is
siclly hair; that means that the per
son herself is in bad physical condition.
MY advice to the red-headed girl
who wants to keep her luck is to avoid
heavy millinery and II she is wearing
one of those lose-fitting fur caps, in
sist on having ventilation holes in it.
Men always have these little ventila-
tors, and they don't need them half as
much as we do. Then redhead washes
her hair at least once In two weeks

Finley, the old butler of the Argyle
household, glowered upon young Topp, the
cockney footman. Bruce Argyle had
given orders that the library should be
opened and made ready for the reception
of Mr.. Kayton, and Topp was Directing

Finley eyed him in scorn. Jaw, ye're
worse than the fwimmin. What's to hurt
We? Come on in wit ye!"
He strobe bravely into the gloomy
apartment and in the dim light stumbled
over a chair. Topp suppressed a yell,
and both stood shivering
What's that" demanded the footman
in quavering voice.
IT'S a chair" responded the butler,
striving in vain to speak unconcernedly.
"Sit down on it"
Topp shook his head and shivered again
as he gazed about the darkened, massive

The missus insists that Moses turn
over to her the house, lot and his in,
surance papers, after which the latch
string will again hang from the front
door. Several days ago, according to
Schneider's story. he visited his own
yard in order to fix wagon. His wife
