the cushions,
When she got to the pder Grace
took up an inconspicuous position
among the crowd which had already
begun to gather to see their friends
Oh, and waited for the woman with
the satchel to appear. She hoped that
Hartmann would be with her. Then
II was her intention to at once notify
Captain Bonnet OF the Richelieu and
have them both placed under arrest
before the, vessel left the dock.
The woman was a long time in put
ting in an appearance. Grace began
TO fear that her deductions had been
at FAULT. Or possibly the woman had
stopped on the way to meet her com.
psnion.
At last Grace saw he- coming down
the pier, her baggage carried by a
porter. She was alone.
Grace was greatly disappointed.
Yet the woman had Hartmann's bag.
gage. 1t seemed certain that the lat.
ter must appear, even though at the
last moment.
And then a sudden resolution caus-
Cd Grace to send for telegraph blank
and scribble the hasty message to
Richard. She dared not leave her
post even for moment. Hartmann
might appear at any time. He might
even now, she reasoned, be already on
board. She prayed that Richard
might get her message in time to join
her, for she had made up her mind
to sail with the steamer rather than
lose track of the two she had 80 per.
sistently followed all night.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Wireless from M. Lefevre.


About four o'clock the same after
noon Mr.. Germaine, the managing di-
rector of the Transatlantic Line, was
sitting at his desk enjoying a late
afternoon cigar.
He had just finished signing his
mail when clerk came in and laid
on the desk before him two envelopes.
which, from their external appe.
arance, evidently contained wireless
messages. -.... 81
He took up the first and read It,
then removed his glasses in dazed
sort of way, wiped them carefully
with his handkerchief, and put them
on again. Then he read the message.
1t was dated that day, and had been
sent from the steamship Richelieu
half an hour earlier. 1t said:
Man claiming to be Purser George
Vernon now on board Richelieu. Be-
lieve him to be an impostor. Am
handling case as you requested.
-... (Signed) ETIENNE LEFEVRE.
The managing director sat back in
his chair somewhat helplessly. Yer.
non not dead, after all! M. Lefevre on
board the vessel, bound for France
1t seemed incredible. He again polish
ed his glasses. then blew his nose
violently. After that, as he could
think of nothing else to do, he pro
ceeded to read the second telegram.
1t also was from the steamship and
read:
Purser George Vernon found or
board to-day. Is weak from long con
hnement, but otherwise well. Tells
strange story of assault and robbery
by unknown men. Case being investi.
gated by M. Lefevre, the prefect ol
police, who is now on board. r

Mr.. Germaine laid the two tele
grams carefully on top Of each othel
and pressed a button at the side O.
his desk.
"Is Mr.. Barnes in his Officer" HI
asked the boy who appeared in re
sponse to his summons. "If SO, ask
him to come here at once"
The boy withdrew. A few moments
later Mr.. Barnes came into the Office
The managing director glanced UP,
then spoke.

pier this morning when the Richelieu
sailed?' e
The detective seemed surprised by
the question. Certainly, sir" he said

wealth, with the result that the home
consumption OF silk fabrics has IN
creased. Freight space and equipment
Is at a premium throughout the
world and labor has been travelling on
an upward plane since the war began,
so that higher prices are IN force all
along the line; also the production OF
silks IN France has greatly diminished.
Despite such conditions one finds
many exquisite models in silk and the
soft, clingy satins classed as silks. An
effective one-piece costume In Peking

noon wear. The lower part OF the
frock Is laid in plaits back and front

Plaits appear quite as often as
gathers upon fashionable skirts, how
4 ever simple may be the waists with
which they are worn, or to which they
are attached to give the frock a one
piece effect. Serge. which Is in as
strong demand as ever, owes It's on

that Il lends itself 10 development in

WHAT COLLEGE GIRLS DO.

The Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupations, which
finds positions for college graduates, finds that
very large part of them have literary tastes strongly
developed and want positions editors This does not
probably that they desire and such humdrum work
as that of local editors newspapers. Prob
ably their ambition into the magazine and book
publishing line.
1t is fine and honorable position for an educated
woman to edit literary publications. Unfortunately it is
limited field The bureau of occupations appears to be
more successful in finding positions for
taries and in chemical biological and industrial lines.
1t always pity when young person makes mis-
take in the choice of at the outset and finds that
she has set her heart impossible dream For that
too many young people should not be encouraged
to seek literary 1t is terribly crowded field
and only the headliners get generous treatment
If young simply must write the best thing for
them is to 60 direct into newspaper work. matter if
at the start they have to take humble position If they
show gift they will get promotion Ability is recognized
in the newspaper world about quickly anywhere.
Then if person really gifted the chances for becoming
a successful writer are increased
There of course certain number of every desir.
able positions to be had in editorial work in high grade
weekly and monthly publications, also readers of
script for publishing houses College very largely
fill these places But person might apply dozen times
every publication and publishing business of this class
and not find any vacancy 1t is thorny path and girl
must usually spend years in contributing to magazines
and weekes before securing the reputation that would
give her the necessary standing.
