TAHITI VETERANS
 RETURN FROM WAR Age Old Dances Are Revived As Part of the Great
 Welcoming Festival
By Associated Press


 Papeete, Tahiti, July 15-Age old Polynesian customs and arts of song and dance, half forgotten by the na- tives in their swing toward European customs, were revived during thre great festival which during the past few weeks welcomed home Tahitian vete- rans of the great war.
 Maran, formerly queen, came from semi-retirement and gave pictures que feast of royal proportion in the old kings palace
 The otea .or dancing company, pre- senting evolutions not unlike the Hawaiian hula-hula, was seen again and the himene, said by musical ex- perts to be unique in all the world, was sung. In the himene, lately abandoned Tor hymns and European songs taught by missionaries, short phrases of great are woven together in four or five parts without dissonance.

London Society's Doings
 At the Goodluood Races
By LADY MARY

London, August 16.-The end of the London ':peace" season is with us, and
 Everybody who is anybody has been at Goodwood races, which took place for the first time in four years.
 Once more, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon entertained a big party at Goodwood house for this historic meet ing, and the fact that the Prince of Wales was the special guest of honor made the occasion specially noteworthy. The late King Edward when he was Prince of Wales and also after his suc- cession to the throne, was always the star" guest at this annual sporting fesp tivity, and some of the most famous gatherings in the history of modern so- ciety have taken place in this beaut- ful country house.
 As you probably know, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon has been 'wid- over for many years, and his youngest daughter from the time she was just out of the school room, always acted as his hostess. Now she also wears coro- net of strawberry leaves and as the Duchess of Northumberland entertained her fathers guests for the race week. It is, by the way, rather amusing for the amateur historian to recall the fact that the Duke of Richmond and Gordon and his son-in-law, the Duke sof North umberland are both descendants of that very sportive monarch, Charles II. To be sure, they are not to be reckoned among the legitimate offshoots of that king and courier, but MiUress Nell Gwynne and, I think, my Lady Castle maine were the favorites upon whom King Charle bestowed these patents of nobility.
 At any rate, at Goodwood house the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, and his daughter the Duchess of Northumber- land, were host and hostess to the sheir apparent and the goodly company of ladies and gentlemen. Another famous house near to Goodwood is West Dean Park, where Mrs. Brinton (once upon a time Mrs. Willie James, years ago used to entertain the late King Edward and Queen Alexandra. West Dean Park is

How to Beautify a
 Summer Soiled Face

It's really a simple matter to renovate a face soiled by sun, winds dirt. Ordi- nary mercolized wax, used like cold cream will transform the worst old complexion into one of snowy whiteness and velvety softness. It literally peels off the outer veil of surface skin, but gently, gradually there's no discomfort. The wornout skin comes off, not in patches, but evenly, in tiny particles, leaving evidence of the treatment, The younger, healthier under-skin forming the new complexion, is of cap tivating lovelness. One ounce of mercolized wax. to be had at any drug store. is enough to remove any tanned, reddened. pimpled, Afreckled blotchy skin. Apply before itiring, washing it off mornings

table. my pistol raised. aiming at his
heart. and felt my own heart beat
steadily and the will to kill rise domi-
nant above every hesitation.
Leroux spun round. He saw me,
and he smiled his sour smile. He did
not finch. although he must have seen
that my hand was as steady as q rock.

asked mockingly. "You have come

ger six times.
And each time heard nothing but
the click Of the hammer.
Then, with his bulls below. Simon
was upon me, dashing his fists into my
face and bearing me down. My puny
struggles were as ineffective as though
had been fighting ten men. He had
me on the floor and was kneeling on
my chest, and In trice the other ruff
fans had come dashing along the hall.
JacQueline was beating with her
little fists upon Leroux's broad back.
but he did not even feel the blows.
I heard old Charles Duchaines piping
cries Of fear. and then somebody held
me by the throat and I was swimming
In black water.
Bring a rope, Raoul !" 1 heard ST.
mon call.
Half conscious, i knew that ] was
being tied. felt the rope tighten
upon my wrists and limbs; presently
I opened my aching eyes to find my

over me. perfectly calm.

think you would have sense enough to
examine your pistol and reload before

He picked up q scrap Of newspaper
from the table and held 1t before my
eyes, deliberately turning up the Oil
lamp wick that might read 1t. I rec.
ognized II at once. It was the clipping
from the newspaper, descriptive Of the

He shook the paper before my eyes
and then he struck me across the face

yelled. and JacQueline screamed In
fear.
II did," I answered after q moment.
Charlevoix county herald., 1919-07-04

And suddenly knew what It was.
1t was the knife with which Louis
d'Epernay had been killed
j could just get my finger and
thumb round the point of the blade.
The ropes scored deeply into my
wrists as / worked at 1t. but / felt
the lining give. and presently I had
worked the blade through and had the
knife out by the handle.
But 1t was made for thrusting more
than cutting, and had to pick the
ropes to pieces strand by strand.
Jacqueline had been imperceptibly
edging away from her father and Lee
roux; she was now standing immedi-
ately beneath the rusty swords. And
outside the door / still perceived La
croix. motionless.
1t flashed across my mind that he
understood the girls desperate ruse,
and that he was waiting for the issue.
/ picked furiously at the ropes which
bound my hands, and long strand un-
coiled and whipped back on my wrist.
LerOux seized Jacqueline by the
wrists and dragged her across the floor
to me.
"LOok at him." he yelled. "Look
into his face. Will you marry me If
l let him go free?"
"No" answered Jacqueline
II swear to you that he shall be
thrown from the top Of the cataract
unless you give your consent within
five minutes"
"Neverw she answered firmly.
II will denounce your father"
"YOu can't brighten me with such
stuff. I am not weak old mani"
'YOu will think differently after
Charles Duchaine has been hanged in
Quebec jail" he sneered.
His words received q wholly unex-
pected answer. The dotard leaped
forward. stopped down and picked up
the heavy roulette wheel.
He raised II alOft and staggered
wildly toward Leroux.

spy! He has come to betray me to the

What followed was the work of a
moment l saw Jacqueline pull down
both broadswords from the wall. She
flung one down beside me just as I
was staggering to my feet.
LerOux shook off the old man at
last. He turned on me. l swung the
sword aloft and brought 1t down upon
his skull.
