"You can trust us to look after that, MT. Holmes," said Lestrade, as the whole party moved toward the door. Anything further to say?"
 "Only to ask what charge you in tend to prefer?'
 'fWhat charge, sir2 Why, of course the attempted murder of MT. Sherlock HoInes.'
 'cNot so, Lestrade. 1 do not propose to appear in the matter at all. To you, and to you only, belongs the credit Of the remarkable arrest which you have effected Yes, Lestrade, I congratulate youl With your usual happy mixture of cunning and audacity, you have got him."
 "Got him! Got whom MT. Holmes ?"

But one could not look upon his cruel blue eyes, with their dropping, cynical lids or upon the fierce, aggressive nose and the threat ching. deep-Iined brow, without read ing Natures plainest danger signals. He took no heed of any of us, but his eyes were fixed upon Holmes face with an expression in which hatred and amazement were equally blended.

also, it will bleach all stains on the skin.
 When the cuticle is softened, as it will be after a few moments immer- sion. the next thing to do is to shape the cuticle. You can scrape the dead skin from the nails by using a-cuicle knife or the point on your file. or you can use a cuticle cream or even powdered punlice, but I do not par tic,llar1y recourne end either powdered pu1nice or the various cuticle acids because they are so very drying. If the fingers are soaked long enough and if a little cream is rubbed around them, you will have no trouble in re- moving all dead skin.
 When the nail has been sCraped clean, the uneven places around the edge should be clipped off with good pair of manicure scissors. I do not particularly advise cutting the cuticle, but in some cases it is neces- sary and it is particularly necessary on each side of the nail. A little cream should be Left on the nail until the manicure is finished and you are ready to 10 the polishing.
 The most important part of the manicure is in keeping the cuticle at each side of the nail looking smooth

THE MANICURE.

THE MANICURE.
 Several chats have appeared re- gently giving suggestions as to how to avoid manicuring the nails - that is, suggestions for keeping the nails in such good condition that a thor ough> manicure is necessary only once every two weeks or so. But when you do manicure the nails, if you will make a, very thorough job of it, you will find that you will not have to repeat your work very soon.
 . The very first thing to do is to shape the nails with the file
 The best file is long and flexible. When the nails are shaped to a point or an oval, whichever is most be- coming to your hand, the next step is to soak the finger tips in >water to soften the cuticle. The water should be warm, with a little castillo soap in it. and if it has a little lemon juice

There was the chatter of running feet upon the pavement, and two policemen in uniform, With one pIain-cIothes detective, rushed through the front entrance and into the room.

A HEALTH TALK.

The animal with his covering of hair has it all over the human being. His hair protects his body and doez not let heat or cold suddenly affect the skin. Modern man does not even know how to bathe for he lets the weight of water soak the dirt into the pores rather than take it out
 That was why the Romans made heat-bathing a legal requirement. and furnished the places for bathing Had this law remained there would be much less sickness today The gov ernment even now is considering plans for public health stimulation.
 Those who would have perfect health and would drive out the present plans and s1uggishness will try one Turkish Bath. The Atlas is the place in Bridgeport
