The DESTROYING ANGEL
BY Louis Joseph 4~uaAu

"Ies, madam" The maid rose and
moved briskly out of sight.
Her mistress. casting aside a scarf
of embroidered Chinese brocade, stood
for a moment in deep thought, her
head bowed, the knuckle of a slender
fOrefnger tapping her chin-charm-
ingly posed. Whitaker abruptly un-
derstOOd why it was he lOitered, peep
ing-she was absolutely beautiful,
creature both exquisite and superb. a
matchless portrait for the galleries of
his memory.
Something's movement or perhaps
a slight sound-had drawn his atten-
ton from the woman. He saw the
other man standing boldly in full
moonlight, all his attention concentrat-
ed on the brilliant picture framed by
the window. He was unquestionably
without knowledge of the nearness of
the other-Of Whitaker in the shad-
Ows. And though his back was to the
moon and his face further shadowed
by peaked cap, Whitaker was abso-
lutely sure of the mamie was GER
ta1nly DrummOnd.
Without pause for thought. he sprang
toward him, in a guarded voice utter
ing his name-"Drummond! !" But the
fellow proved too alert and quick for
him. Whitaker's hands closed on NO III
ing more substantial than thin air; at
the same time he received blow upon
his bruised shoulder smart and fOrcible
enough to stagger him and evoke an in
! voluntary grunt Of pain. And before
he could regain his balance the. fellow
was thrashi1g nOisily away through
the woodland underbrush.
Forthwith he struck off and blum
deret senselessly through the forest
n1isled by its elusive phantasmagoria
until, realizing at length he did but
duplicate an earlier folly, he gave up
the chase in disgust and slowly made
his way back to the bungalow.

What is the connection be-
tween Whitaker, Drummond and
the mysterious girl? Is more

Whitaker dead?

HOW HISTORY IS DISTORTED
Curious Liberties Taken by Scholars
With Events in Other Countries, as
Matter of "PoIicy."

Curious liberties have been taken
by the scholars of one country with
the history of another, the distortion
being, of course, due in many instances
to policy" A striking example is
found in a Russian textbook edited
by great Russian scholar, novaislzi:
Louis XVI was a good and peace
full king. After long and famous
reign, in which he was most happy
in his choice of minister of finance, he
died quietly in Paris, beloved by all his
people. His death was caused by
hemorrhage.
1.-THE successor of Louis XVI was his
son, Louis XVII. During his reign
the brave, royal army, commanded by
Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte, captured
the largest part of the European con-
tinent for the French crown. But the
faithless Napoleon showed tendencies
toward misusing his power, and was
suspected of harboring dishonest de-
signs against the legitimate ruler.
With the help of his majesty the en-
perOr and autocrat of all the Russians,
his plans were frustrated, and he was
deprived of all his possessions, hon.
ors and rights to a pension. He was
then exiled to the island of st. Helena,
where he died."

Fish Couldn't SubmerQe.

Sitting on his porch the other morn
ing, ]. w. Stewart noticed a good
sized catfish floating downstream, a
Statesville IN. c. correspondent of
the New York Sun writes. The fish
was very much alive and was in much
commotion, apparently trying to go
under water and for some reason
unable to.
Mr.. Stewart was interested and he
got his boat, went out on the river and
captured the fish. He put it in a tub
of water and found that it wouldn't
sink. This led to further examination
and Mr.. Stewart says he found the
fish had swallowed a large quantity
of wheat-having access to the wheat
as a result of the recent f1oods-the
wheat grains had swelled so the fish
couldn't digest them and altogether
that gorge of wheat had put that fish
in a bad fix. He not only could moi
go under the water, but he was doubt
less suffering much misery" on his in
sides.
In all his long experience on the
river Mr.. Stewart says he had never
come across a case like that.

sheeted rain and great ragged wastes
of mist.
And the second day was like unto
the first. The third day broke full of
the spirit of the second; but toward
noon the rain ceased. In the evening,
weary of the sedulous attentions of
cloud of famished mosquitoes, Whita-
ker sat in darkness. not tired enough
to go TO bed, too tired to bestir himself
and seek distraction from tormenting
train of thought.
A pool of limpid moonlight lay like
milk upon the floor beneath window
and held his dreaming gaze while MEM
Ory marshaled for his delectation a
pageant of wasted years, infinitely des-
olate and dreary in his vision.
How long he sat unstirring, preoccu-
pied with fruitless inquiry. he did not
guess. But later he reckOned it could
not have been long after ten o'clock
when he was disturbed. The sound of
a football, hushed and stealthy on the
veranda, reused him with start, and
almost at the same instant he became
aware of a shadow that troubled the
pool of moonlight, the foreshortened
shadow of mans head and shoulders.
He sat up, tense, rigid with surprise
and wonder, and stared at the silhou-
cited body at pause just outside the
window. The fellow was STOPPING to
peer in. Had Drummond hunted him
down to this isolate hiding place? On
the thought he leaped up, in two
strides slammed out through the door.
II sayP' he cried loudly. But he
cried, apparently, to empty air. The
man was gone-vanished as strangely
and as quietly as he had appeared.
| Pausing and glaring round the clear
ing'in complete bewilderment, he de-
tected or else fancied a slight move
ment in the shadows on the edge of the
encompassing woodland. Instantly
needless of the risk he ran if the man
were indeed DrummOnd and if Drum
mond were indeed guilty of the assault
now four nights old, Whitaker broke
for the spot. 1t proved to be the en-
trance to one of the woodland paths
and aturally-whether or no his imag
inatiOn were in fault-there was no
body waiting there to be caught.
But If anyone had been there, he haC
unquestiOnably fled along the trail

covered half the distance, he emerged
abruptly into the clearing of the Fiske
place.
Here he pulled up, for the first time
alive to the intrinsic idfocy of his con-
duct, and diverted besides by the dis
covery that his impression of the early
evening that the cottage was tenanted,
had been well founded.
The ground floor windows shone with
dim but warm illumination. He could
see distinctly part of living room
rather charmingly furnished in sum-
merry way. At it's farther end a dark
haired woman in a plain black dress
with a short apron and lace cap sat
reading by evidently a
maid. Her mistress-judging by ap-
| pearances-was outside on the lawn
below the veranda, strolling to and fro
in company with a somewhat short and
heavy man who wore an automobile
duster and visored cap. By contrast.
her Whitehead figure, invested with
the illusion of moonlight, seemed un-
usually tall. Her hair was fair. shin

she bent her head, attentive to her
companion. And Whitaker thought to
discern an unusual quality In her
movements. quality of charm and q

by what sounded like pleasant mega

Diet for the Lean.
DR.. Louis Henry Levy, in Pictorial
Review says:
Though the lean individual may be
the more agile and vigorous, leanness
is also associated with those of
nervous temperament. It is not al
ways a desirable condition, since II
prematurely ages the face by the early
appearance of wrinkles. 1t is also the
accompaniment of chronically diseased
stomachs, resulting from a disturbed
digestion and poor absorption of the
digested foods.
''The foods which are best adapte6
for the lean are those that have been
denied to the obese person-the
starches, sugars, and fats, but sufi
cient care must be exercised to pre-
vent disturbing an entirely good stem-
ach. Let the lean one eat well of the
rich foods and sever relations with
fhe sour and spicy ones. Above all,
let her cultivate a sunny, restful dis
position, with a nervous system under
steady control, for these are the trade
marks of the robust and plump per

underbodice of satin.. The fullness in
the sleeves is gathered into a band of
velvet about the wrist, to which en-
broidery is applied. This forms a soft
frill about the hands. The embroidery
appears again across the crepe bodice,
and it is the touch of distinction which
places this gown in the front rank of
things fashionable. 1t is done with
neavy silk thread in long stitches, and
is like the gown in color.
A frock of this kind, worn with a
fur neckpiece and smart velvet hat,
is equal to the requirements of any
afternoon function. 1t may be made
OF blue velvet and worn over a gray
underskirt. In the costume pictured
the shoes are black with gray tops.
There are bags for everything, but
principally there is the fancy bag of
silk Or velvet for shopping. Besides

mother made him a paper hat, to which

have a belt, with a sword.
