Woman's Suggestion to Mayor of New
York Is to Have Them All Ap-
propriately Tattooed.

Among the helpful letters daily re-
ceived by Mayor Mitchell came one the
other day signed Mime. Mercury" the
New York Sun states. She wrote that
since all other forms of punishment
had failed she would suggest that each
criminal be tattooed with a suitable
mark across his forehead or on the
cheeks.
"A pickpocket," she said, should
have long fingered red hand grasp
ing a purse tattooed on the cheek. A
Black Handler should have a black
heart pierced with a red dagger, a
gunman should be marked with a
red hand grasping gun, grafters
with hand grasping the long green,
thugs marked with blue hand grasp
ing blackjack, burglars marked with
doorlock and pick.

CHAPTER Xvi.-continued.


The weeks slipped by. He was with
her almost daily. Other people came
to her house, some for rather protract-
ed visits, others in quest of pillage at
the nightly bridge table, but he was
seldom missing. There were times
when be thought he detected ten
dency to waver, but each cunning at
tempt on his part to encourage the
impulse invariably brought certain
hooking light into her eyes and he
veered off in defeat. Something kept
telling him, however, that the hour
was bound to come when she would
falter in her resolution; when frank
ness would meet frankness, and the
the veil be lifted
There were no letters from Hetty,
no word of any description. If Sara
knew anything of the girls movements
she did not take Booth into her conf
dence
Leslie Wrandall went abroad in Au-
gust, ostensibly to attend the aviation
meets in France and England. His
mother and sister sailed in September
but not before the entire colony of
which they were a part had begun to
discuss Sara and Booth with relish
that was obviously distasteful to the
Wrandalls.
Where there is smoke there is fire,
said all the gossips, and forthwith pro-
ceeded to carry faggots.
A week or so before sailing, Mrs.
Redmond Wrandall had Booth in for
dinner. / think she said en- famille.
At any rate, Sara was not asked,
which is proof enough that she was
bent on making it family affair.
After dinner, Booth sat in the
screened upper balcony with Vivian.
He liked her. She was keen-witted,
plain-spoken young woman, with few
false ideals and no subtlety. She was
less snobbish than arrogant. OF all
the Wrandalls, she was the least self
conferred. Leslie never quite under

that she thoroughly understood him.

She turned upon Booth with mock

his face, and was angry with himself.
He went to the telephone. Almost
her first words were these:

about me, Brandon?"
He actually gasped. Good heavens,

after. a long silence between them,
they've been setting my cap for you
for long, long time" She blew a
thin stream of cigarette smoke toward
the moon.
He started. It was a bolt from a
clear sky. The deuce!"

ual tone, mothers had her heart set

Please don't look so uneasy. I'm not

her candor.

"Marvelous!" he interrupted loudly.

go on, please"
"And all that sort of thing" she
said sweepingly, and he could almost
see the inclusive gesture with her free
hand. He laughed but still marveled
at the shrewdness of her perceptions.
"I'll come over this afternoon and
show you wherein you are wrong" he
began, but she interrupted him with
laugh.
Il am starting for the city before
noon, by motor, to be gone at least a
fortnight"
what! This is the first I've heard
of it,
Again she laughed. ITO be perfect
ly frank with you, hadn't heard of
it myself until just now. 1 think

"Hot Springs?"
Virginia" she added explicitly.
II say, Sara, what does all this
mean? YOU.
"And If you should follow me
there, Vivian's estimate of us will not
be SO far out of the way as we'd
like to make it."
True to her word, she was gone
when he drove over later on in the
day. Somehow, he experienced a
queer feeling of relief. Not that he
was oppressed by the rather vivacious
opinions of Vivian and her ilk, but
because something told him that Sara
was wavering in her determination to
withhold the secret from him and fed
for perfectly obvious reasons.
He had two commissions among the
rich summer colonists. One, full
length portrait of young Beardsley in
shooting toys, was nearly finished. The
other was to be half-length of Mrs.
Ravenscroft, who wanted one just like
Hetty Castleton's, except for the eyes,
which she admitted would have to be
different. Nothing was said Of the
seventeen years difference in their
ages. Vivian had put off posing until
Lent.
The Wrandalls departed for Scot
land, and other friends of his began
to desert the country for the city. The
fortnight passed and another week
besides. Mrs. Ravenscroft decided to
go to Europe when the picture was
half-finished.
"You can finish it when come back
in December, Mr.. Booth" she said.
"I'll have several new gowns to choose
from, too"
II shall be busy all winter. Mrs. Ra-
venscroft," he said coldly.
How annoying" she said calmly,
and that was the end Of 1t all. She
had made the unpleasant discovery
that it wasn't going to be in the least
like Hetty Castleton's, so why bother
about it?
Booth waited until Sara came out
to superintend the closing of her house
for the winter. He called at South
look on the day of her arrival. He
was struck at once by the curious
change in her appearance and manner
There was something bleak and DESC
late in the wildly brilliant face: the
tired, wistful, harassed look Of one
who has begun to quail and yet fights
on.
will you go out with me tomorrow,
Brandon, for an all-day trip in the
carr" she asked, as they stood to-
gether before the open fireplace on
this late November afternoon. Her
eyes were moody, her voice rather
lifeless.

Certainly" he said, watching her
closely. Was the break about to come ?
II will stop for you at nine." After
short pause, she looked up and said:
II suppose you would like to know
where I am taking YOU"
1T doesn't matter, Sara"
II want you to go with me to Bur-
toms inn."
"Burton's inn."
"That is the place where my hus-
band was killed." she said, quite
steadily.
He started. ooh! But-do you
think it best, Sara, to open old wounds
by"
II have thought it all out, Brandon.
I want to go there-just once. / want
to go into that room again."
