What would be the gain II 1t all
tered my usual appearance?"
True. true! Wen get around that
somewhow. Difficulties only add zest
to the artists work"
After studying little longer he
said: "Since your purpose Is to
escape observation, would suggest
making you as Insignificant as pos
sible. Say business man In small
way; industrious but not very
bright; Of very ordinary tasto both

MY idea exactly!" said Jack
"But I must impress upon you that
my work here with false hair and
pigments is only the beginning. To
be successful our character must be
constructed from the inside out. Be-
fore you leave here I will write out
see it, which will ask you to study
at your leisure. particularly
recommend that you repeat it to
yourself just before falling asleep at
night. It is the surest way Of i'm
pressing 1t on your subconscious-
ness"
"Fine!" said Jack, more and more
taken with the philosophic wig,
maker.
Evers began to lay out the i'm
plements of his trade. While he
worked he talked uninterruptedly.
II assure you ones subconscious-
ness is all-important. Most people.
unknown to themselves, play an as
sumed part thruouti their lives, a
part that has been suggested to the
subconsciousness In early life by
something they admire In other peo-
pie or In books. When some great
disturbance brings the real self to
light people are amazed at what they
discover in Observation-Disclosures

MAKE It simple, please" said Jack.
Something that !, can put off and
on myself at need"
"The best art is always simple"
said Mr.. Evers. First a wash for
the entire face and neck It 10 very
thin and contains no grease to betray
you in the sunlight. It's purpose is
merely to dim the youthful slow OF
health that distinguishes you. See!
You look fifteen years older already!
A slightly darker tone under eyes
gives you sedentary. slightly bilious
look. Next heavy eyebrows. which
with round spectacles will give you
an owlish expression. Also q stiff.
closely cropped mustache. You put
on eyebrows and mustache with loose
hair and glue which will furnish
you. Comb them out and clip them
to the desired length after they are
stuck on. The ready-m made articles
never look natural. You may depend
upon the glue. It Is my own inven-
ton. No amount Of heat nor per-
spiration, nor soap and water can
affect 1t, but 1t melts at touch of
alcohol. Lastly. ;pomade your hair
literally, and slick 1t down hard.
See. 1t makes your hair look thin,
and alters the whole shape OF your
head. There you are!"
Wonderful said Jack, gazing at
his strangely altered aspect.
"Oh, we've only just begun!" said
Mr.. Evers. Next comes the question
of clothes. Its Importance cannot be
exaggerated. Taste in clothes is of
slow growth. The clothes ia youth
tell you nothing, but mature mans
attire betrays him unerringly. Let
me seeI This requires study. We
shall probably not hit it exactly at
the first trial. should say first a
derby hat Of very conservative shape,
slightly old-fashioned, and a suit
stifly cut, of good material but ugly
pattern of cloth. Shirt and necktie
are very significant. They should
be Of common design and coloring,
such as might be picked up at a
SALE, have all such things here.
The suit may not nt you perfectly,
but it will take you as far as a cloth.
ing store where you can buy an
other"
In due course Jack was ready to
brave the sunshine In his new guise.
The charge was steep, but he could
not deny that the work was worth it.
He left his other clothes with Mr..
Evers since he would have to return
to the shop to change. The wig
maker stood off and examined him
with satisfaction. Mrs. Evers was
called on to admire her husbands
work.
What name would you suggest for
my new rcharacter?" asked Jack.
smiling.
MIR. Evers took the matter with en-
tire seriousness. Let me see-you
look to me as IL your name might
be- His face cleared-'I have ~
your name Is certainly Mr.. Pitman."
Mr., Pitman 1t shall bel"
Mr.. Fred Pitman," added Eyers.
AS Jack left the shop it was a few
minutes before twelve, that is to saw.
just about the time he had desiene ed
to try out his new character for tho
first. He made his way up to Fortv-
second street, and took up his staA
tlon before the building that housed
the offices Of the Eureka Protective
Association.
Here he walked SLOWLY I'm and
down well lost in the crowd hurrvine
east and west. He found his dis
guise effective in that the passers-
by no longer noticed him. Only
when people stopped looking at him
did Jack become aware that in his
proper person he attracted friendly
glances wherever he went. That
started curious speculation in his
mind: How do people know whether
they want to look at you or not, II
they don't look at you first to see
what you are ltke?"
1t was half-past twelve before the
man he was waiting for appeared.
Mr.. Dave Anderson turned east on
Forty-second street at a brisk pace.
