The clerk, considerably relieved,
took his departure in some haste, and
she was left with the morning papers,
each of which she scanned rapidly.
The details, of course, were meager.
There was double-leaded account of
her visit to the inn and her extraor-
binary return to the city Her chief
interest, however, did not rest in
these particulars, but in the specu1a-
tions Of the authorities as to the iden-
tity OF the mysterious woman and
her whereabouts There was the like
lihood that she s-as not the only one
who had encountered the girl on the
highway or in the neighborhood Of the
inn. SO far as she could CLEAN from
the reports, however, no one had seen
the girl, nor was there the slightest
hint offered as to her identity. The
papers of the previous afternoon had
published lurid accounts of the muir
der, with all of the knows details, the
name OF the victim at that time still
being mystery. She remembered
reading the story with nc little inter-
est. The only new feature In the case,
therefore, was the Identification of
Challis Wrandall by his beautiful
wife," and the sensational manner in
which 1t had been brought about.
With considerable interest she noted
the hour that these dispatches had
been received from special corre-
spondents," and wondered where the
shrewd, lynx-eyed reporters mapped
while she was at the inn: All of the
dispatches were timed three O'Clock
and each paper characterized its issue
as an Extra" with Challis Wrandall's
name in huge type across as many
columns as the dignity of the sheet
permitted.
Not word of the grill Absolute
mystery!
Mrs. Wrandall returned to her post
beside the bed OF the sleeper in the
adjoining room. Deliberately she
placed the newspaper on chair near
the girls pillow, and then raised the
window shades to let in the hard gray
light of early morn.
1t was not her present intention to
arouse the wan stranger. who slept as
one dead. So gentle was her breath
ing that the watcher stared in some
fear at the fair, smooth breast that
seemed scarcely to rise and fall. For
long time she stood beside the bed,
looking down at the face of the sleep

]. Her blurred eyes turned once more
for look at the girl, who sat there,
just as she had been sitting for miles,
her white face standing out with al
most unnatural clearness, and as rigid
as that of sphinx.
The girl spoke. DO they hang WON

Mrs. Wrandall started. I'm some OF

other, almost without a movement OF

There was a long silence between
them, broken finally by the girl.

incredulously.

The other broke in eagerly. Il
don't believe any one knows that T.

arranged it very-carefully Oh, what
beast he was." The bitterness of
that wall caused the woman beside her
to cry out as If hurt by a sharp, al
most unbearable pain. For an instant
she seemed about to lose control Of
herself. The car swerved and came
dangerously near leaving the road.
A full minute passed before she
could trust herself to speak. Then
it was with deep hoarseness in her
voice

The girls manner changed so abso-
lutely that there could be but one in

The EASIEST WAY
To END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp


There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing rich, do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for nothing destroys the
hair so quickly. 1t not only starves the
hair and makes it fall out, but it makes
it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle
and lifeless, and everybody notices it.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four ounces
is all you will need. This simple rem
ely has never been known to fail.
