the sapphire lights sparkling in her
eyes and experienced sensation that

of the woman of the crossroads, and,
as before he caught the almost i'm

from the blazing logs fell upon her
shining hair; 1t glistened like gold.
She wore n simple evening gown of

Long before they came to the turn
pike, Barnes had reduced his hundred
and one suppositions to the following
concrete conclusion: Green Fancy
was no longer in the hands Of its orig
inal owner for the good and sufficient
reason that Mr.. Curtis was dead. The
real master of the house was the man
known as Loeb. Through ODOwd he
had leased the property from the Wild

lished himself there. surrounded by
trustworthy henchmen, for the purpose
of carrying out some dark and sinister
project.

great deal of time up here with her
brother"
"First time she was ever here, so
far as l know" said Peter, and Barnes
promptly took up his weaving once
more.
With one exception, he decided, the
entire company at Green Fancy was
involved in the conspiracy. The ex-
ception was Miss Cameron. 1t was
quite clear to him that she had been
mislcd or betrayed into her present
position; that a trap had been set for
her and she had walked into it blind
ly, trustingly. This would seem to es-
tablish, beyond question: that her cap
ture and detention was vital to the in
terests of the plotters; otherwise she
would not have been lured to Green
Fancy under the impression thnt she
was to find herself among friends and
supporters. Supporters That word
started new train of thought. He
could hardly wait for the story that
was to fall from her lips. =

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
One Test or More!

A girl aged % has what is call
ed infammatory rheumatism. The
doctor first thought her tOnsils
were the cause. She had them re-
moved, without relief to the joints.
Would you advise a change of doc
tors? Would outdoor air be harm
full for such a case?
Answered. Give the doctor
chance. Don't be q one-test rheu-
matte. There are various other
tests yet; for instance. she hash
had her teeth X-rayed, nor her
nasal accessory sinuses explored
for the focus. The doctor knows
his business. Stick to him. open
air is certainly advisable for all
other infections; it couldn't do any
harm.

CHARITY and the News.

Legitimate news items are brought to every
newspaper almost daily, which, if printed,
would cause one OF more entirely innocent
persons great mental suffering Deciding where
the character of the news justihes imposing
the sufering-drawing the line between the
right OF the public to know and the right OF
the individual to his peace Of minds one of
the trying features of newspaper work. Here
is pathetic story told in a San Francisco dis
patch which illustrates the point:
In 1896 he was sentenced to twenty
years in San Quentin for robbery. In
1908 he was released. Several days ago
he was found dead in a room here, and
no one knew who he was, so his body
was taken to the mOrgue.
Detective Sergeant Adolph Juel of the
police identification bureau took the dead
mans finger prints and found his record
at San Quentin.
81 don't think will mention his
name" said Juel when he learned who
the dead man was 81 think it would be
Christian to let him and his past rest"
The public had right to know the name
and all about the case, but, the other hand
would it be any the worse off If the facts never
came out? Charity dictates the answer to such
questions as these quite often in newspaper
offices-and sometimes in police departments.

had spoken of her aunt, Mrs. Wal

invited Arthur to call at her home
