Only few are aware Of the fact
that indirectly the capture of Andre

to her quick decision.
During the operations of the Ameri-

Washington staff, was a frequent Wis

man at Peekskill One day Lieutenant
Webb left a valise containing an
amount of, gold and one of his uni

not to give it to anyone without a

With the advent of the very large
hat the necessity for increasing the
bulk of hair beneath it has automatic
ally suggested puffs and little ringlets.
That the Stuart coffure is almost uni

practice is sufficient to achieve skill
even by an amateur. The hairdressers
say that no fashion CT dressing the
hair is so healthful for tresses as

CHAPTER v.

Colonel Destint. of the Legion.
A thin-voiced chime from some
tower in Sidi-bel-Abbes announced the
hour-four O'Clock
Colonel Destinn looked up. From
where he sat he could see the barrack-
yard. and, beyond, the great stretch OF
ocher plain rolling to the horizon. A
little to the right an Arab mosque lift
ed its white minarets against the sky,
which hung oppressively over the pant
ing, hfeless country.
In the narrow, meanly furnished
room the atmosphere was sitting.
Colonel Destinn's guest drew back into
the thin patch of shadow. Colonel
Destinn himself smiled, and the thin
lips under the iron-gray mustache be-
came indescribably ruthless.

quite valuable, in fact. But I do not

Stephen Lowe glanced up. His de-

ment. He looked old, and physical ex-
haustion had stamped out the last
trace Of beauty from his thin features.
"Why not?' he asked.

Colonel Destinn brushed a speck OF
dust from his dolman His slate gray
eyes flashed. He rose, and Lowe had
no choice but to rise also.

The officer did not answer, appeared
even to have forgotten his guests ex-
istence. Stephen Lowe went out, clos
ing the door softly behind him.
Someone tapped at Colonel Destinn's
door.

Those who specialize in certain lines
Of apparel have demonstrated that the
most utilitarian of garments may be
made with an eye to beauty This is
demonstrated in the overall-aprons,
which answer the purpose of house
dresses in summertime, and in the
new breakfast suits which have an at

These useful garments are turned
out by manufacturers and retailed
