invite either Edith or Leila to share my
room. But I wouldn't ask that Rita
Brown. I'd sooner have trained leop-
ard in my room.
A thermometer test Of my feelings at
this moment would have seen them de-
scending swiftly below the zero mark.
For I, too. would have preferred the
company of trained leopard or any
other menagerie habitant TO that of Rita
Brown, but I saw, alas too clearly, the
fate to which, all unconsciously, the gifts
Of Major Grantland and my father had
condemned me.
Mother Graham Guesses.
To be crowded into a drawing room
with Rita Brown and the Fairfax girls
would be bad enough, but at least there
I would have Leilas ompany-Leila,

alone with Rita Brown for the journey!
In Major Grantland's phrase re-
turned with crushing irony to my mind
it was "unthinkable.'
But / knew that common decency
would compel me to ask the girl to share
nv dressing room, especially as Mother
Graham had insisted upon taking Junior
with her. I could not travel in state
alone while the little bride-to-be was SO
crowded. [ knew subtly, too, that little

Its a pity she didn't think Of that

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alka1i, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use IS Mulsihed CO..
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and Al
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor-
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft.

"How very kind of him. I replied,

many and varied parts, and
his nefarious schemes had taken
him often to the city which, being
the hub Of the ever-speeding Wheel
of Pleasure, offers a happy hunting
ground to those who live by their
wits-and by the lack OF them in

late Vivian Renton to take up his
quarters anywhere but within a
hundred yards Of the Place de
POpera, and his friends would, had
they known, have expressed sur
prise that he had this time chosen
an unpretentious resting place in
the Quarter. The Cafe du Dome
was situated at the junction Of the
Boulevard Raspail with the Mont.
parnasse, and Vivian found 1t both
comfortable and secluded, and emf
nently suited to the game he had
on hand. For it was a deep game
and one which, for the present, he
intended to play single handed. II
was hardly likely that he would
meet any of his acquaintances at
the Cafe du Dome.
It is somewhat awkward when
one is engaged in changing ones
outward appearance to run against
even the best OF friends. II calls
for explanations-and Vivian did
not wish to explain his presence in
Paris, nor the reason that he had
altered the fashion and color OF his
hair, nor why he had decided that
a pointed beard and waxed nous
taches suited him better than
clean-shaved chin and lip.
And now 1t would have to be
very intimate friend indeed who
would see in the little dapper
Frenchman who, under the name of
VI. Baptiste Dartin, passed a placid
existence at the Cafe du Dome, the
erstwhile Vivian Renton.
The metamorphosis from the
Saxon to the Gaul had been as
gradual as II had been thorough.
During the time that he had been
in Paris-and It was now mid.
January-he had not been heard 20
utter single word of English and
he had never been seen reading an
English paper. II would perhaps
be useful, he told himself. in the
future to feign an ignorance Of his
native tongue.
True, he walked each morning to
the little kiosk opposite the Care
Montparnasse and purchased the
Paris edition Of the Daily Mail. but
this was quickly hidden in the folds
Of lie Matin and read only in the
privacy OF his apartment, or per.
haps some secluded seat in the
Luxembourg Gardens.
He devoured with avidity the de-
tails OF the affair at Regents Park
and he noted with satisfaction how
his connection with the crime was
not even hinted at. After all, he
did not see how II could be other.

party at the solicitors house-and
Eddie Haverton was hardly the
one, voluntarily. to place himself
In the searchlight OF publicity. His
career was quite notorious enough
without the aid Of the sensational
press.
II was another case in which the
police we're entirely at fault. Lon.
don had been searched for the par.
ties who had been playing cards
with the deceased man. But no
one knew OF his acquaintance with
Eddie and Vivian and there was
no shadow OF a clue.
The Washington times., 1920-07-11

He thought sometimes Of the
scrap of paper he had placed under
the chair and which he did not re-
member having picked up again.
But the few words which were on
1t had no connection with the case
and certainly did not bear his
name. A few notes he had taken
on a game of cards-that was all.
which could hardly be identified
with him. He cursed himself,
nevertheless, for his carelessness,
and hoped that this faint clue had
escaped detection. There was no
mention Of At in the papers, and
Vivian told himself that had 1t been
found it would have been photo
graphed and published in the hopes
Of Identification.
The man in Paris had noticed the
accounts getting less and more
meagre, until now. for a fortnight,
with the exception Of an interview
with the. sweeps aged mother they
had entirely ceased, and Vivian be-
gan to look into the task he had
set himself
The preliminaries, as 1t we're,
being now satisfactorily arranged
and his identity sunk in that OF
Baptiste Dartin, he gave himself
up, with the thorougfmess which
showed in all his doings. to the
matter in hand-which was no less
than to pierce the more-than-a-
century-old secret Of the wealth Of
the Dartignys.
He read greedily every line OF
writing he could procure from the
archives relating to the history and
records OF the time OF terror which
swept France in the seventeen
nineties. His room at the. hotel
was a library of books dealing with
the period, and in Wallon's records
he came across what he sought
the mention OF the death Of Gas
pard de Dartigny. There were
others OF the family mentioned by
WALTON who had gone to the guilo-
tine in those fateful years OF '93
and~'94-Gaston in June, Pierre in
August. Sophie in) the same month
and Marguerite in the following

Revolution had fallen heavily on
the lords OF Chauville. Vivian
traced the origin and the history
OF the famous family and its many
branches, and he put beyond all
doubt that these red years had. ITO
- all intents and PURPOSES, wiped
them out root and bough.
But he decided to pay a visit OF
inspection to the district OF Chau-
Vile. He would study also the
archives in the adjacent town OF
Blois, giving out as an excuse that
he was writing a history OF the
Revolution and was studying the
subject on the spot. II was neces,
sary that he should make himself
acquainted with the lie OF the land
round the chateau which he In.

home.
Still, Vivian told himself that It.
