THE REAL BEAUTY CULTURE.

\ SS1h es~.~- 4.
The other day a woman killed
herself because shs had lost her
good lookss She had been noted
beauty; but III health, and grief
over the death of her child, and the
approach of middle age had robbed
her of her pulchritude, and she had
ended her life because II was un-
cndurable TO her when she was de-
spoiled of her physical charms.
A pitiful and paltry tragedy, this
Yet perhaps there is no more bitter
ordeal than the one the beauty en-
dures who sees her good looks fade.
She knows the agony of gazing
into her mirror, and watching the
gold of her hair turn to silver, the
roses die out of her cheeks. the
light fade from her eyes, the gray
ness and the wrinkles creep into
her skin. the slenderness of her
fern change into scrawniness or
fat.
1t is as IL one watched oneself
slowly dying: for to the woman the
charms are dissolving that gave
zest to her life. No more will she
be a queen In her little world, no
more will she see a tribute of ad-
mIration in every eye. No more Will
she be courted. and fiattered. and
sought after. Perhaps she will even
no longer be able to hold the love
she has won by her beauty, for with
her good looks gone. her wand OF
enchantment is broken.
The pretty woman's beauty is
generally all the stock she has on
her shelves, and when it is gone.
all is gone. She is bankrupt That
is why women hang on so franti-
Cally to the last vestige of their
good looks, why they dye their hair.
and paint their cheeks, and try to
camouflage their lost charms. That
Is why they spend fortunes on salves
and unguents, and fall victims to
any chariatan who pretends that hc
can restore their youth and beauty.
Such a miracle is, alas. impossible.
No mortal hand can ward off the
ravages of sickneSs. or anxiety, or
stay the passage Of the years thai
take their inevitable toll Of a wom-
ans looks Age and the fading of
her physical Charm are bound TO
come to every woman. and then her
beauty depends upon the kind OF
soul she has.
1t is strange that women do not
think OF TINS Oftener, and reallZ'
that If they spent half as much time
and effort. and money, in cultivat-
inG an inward beauty. as they do in
vainly trying TO keep their outward
beauty, they would have no reason
to fear age. for they would achiev.
an imperishable charm.

The only enjoyment L get out of it

which wits are trump, and in which
there is a plenty of excitement.
Il loathe contact with the crimi-
nal, but IL l am to play the game

Now during the war it was diE-
ferent. A great many of the men
| with whom We crossed wits, in fact,
the majority of those it was my for
tune to fight, were men with a sin
cere belief in the rectitude of their
own cause. None of them, of course,
despised the generous pay of the
haiser's secret service, but from
their viewpoint they were justified
In what we chose to call their
crimes. The spy, you know, is al
ways a criminal in the eyes of his
enemy
THE war service also gave
pleasant little variation every now
and then from the routine of fol-
lowing trails. A fellow often had
the opportunity of blazing them
himself. He didn't have to wait for
the crime TO be committed. He
could take the offensive, blast the
plans of the prospective perpetrator
and land him behind the bars, or
play him along as the fisherman
plays a game fish.
There was, for instance, that
time when 1 had the chance to break

Margaret had certain documents

searched her rooms. But that could

that the government was on her

wanting them to know that. If the

Impression that they had been sto-

John ThrOpman, murdered In
his private office, was found
dead by his brother, Charles.
Testimony of Miss Grcaves,
Johns stenOgrapher, Indicated
that Charles had fred the fatal
shot. Charles claimed he did
not enter the Office until after
the 3 o'clock whistle blew.
The policeman arrived In the
room mt sos. On Thropman's
desk was a full length cigarette,
with smoke curling from the.
last bit of ash. "Niiss Greayes,

John Thropman,, was Harvey
Hunts decision. Why did he

IL your deductions are similar
to Hunts. given below;
.- No. So.
TN THE case of by Whose Hand?'
Harvey Hunt saw at once that
the principal hope of establishing
the innocence of Charles Thropman
lay in the element of time.
Charles had claimed that when he
entered his brothers office he had
found him dead. and Immediately
had given the alarm. To substan-
tate this required some proof that
John Thropman really was dead
when his brother Charles arrived.
Harvey Hunt had established the
fact that Charles had not even en-
tered the building until just after
the o'clock whistles blew. The
cigarette proved the prior death of
John, because it could not have
burned for its entire length, lying
there on the unsigned mail, in less
than ten minutes at the most con-
estimate. This would es-
the moment of death, figur-
ing from the time Riley saw the
last wisp of smoke at 5:O6. as at
least four minutes before 5.
1t followed logically from Miss
Greaves' own admission that IL John
Thropman had had no visitors be-
fore his brother, she herself was
the only person who had the op-
Nof committing the crime.
Her confession revealed the mo-
tive. Instead of refusing to give
her up, as she had stated, John
Thropman had gotten tired of her
and allowed himself to be persuaded
by his family. This was what he
had brutally told her the evening
before. She had secured his revolt

would call at 5. had timed the shoot
