CHAPTER II.

En- Voyage.
The great liner Anne of Austria lay
IN her slip at the dock, her giant
pulses just throbbing now and then.
Everywhere men and women were
hurryins to and fro in the customary
orderly confusion Of the last few mo-
ments before the departure of an
ocean steamer.
Calmly Kitty Gray passed on her
way to the boats office and asked for
her mail and her keys.
AS she turned, she almost stumbled
against q man who had just hurried
( aboard-a dark manS thickset, foreign
in appearance. She had the strange
conviction that she had seen him be-

Then she turned to settle herself
down in her quarters. So far as she
knew, she had not an acquaintance
on the boat.
Now, oddly enough, she recalled the
face OF the stranger, the dark-visaged
foreigner whom she had met at the
ships office. Surely it must have been
the same man who had handed her
her package when She dropped it in
the little antique shop! Why should
he be On board this boat? Why should
he recognize her, remember her--for
he had! Trust woman to know that
he had-he did. Yes. he had known
her. Again a cold feeling OF appre-
hension clutched ut Kitty Gray's stout
little heart.
She rose and tried to fling off her
depression by means of visit to the
dining saloon. But for some reason
she felt she would be more comfort
Here she lay down upon the single
berth. which was directly beneath the
portfolio.
She woke-she knew not when nor
why--wOko with her eyes staring,
passing in her instant from sleep to
waking.
A face was looking in upon her! A
man had been looking at her, or try
ing to look at her, as she lay asleep.

some nessage--she could not tell
what. Swiftly she caught the chamois
bag from her bosom, and. emptying its

cOCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

Il you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain 1nulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely grease1ess), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in>
jure the hair.
Simply moistcn your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.
