Straps on Shoes.

Straps have become almost univer-
sal on the new shoe designs as they
once were in the family woodshed.
The arrangement Of these adjuncts
to the shoe for fai are extremely
varied and some O. not buckle or
fasten at all but are stitched tight at
either end, a rubber inset underneath
giving the necessary snugness.
Tongues. which 'carping critics aver
are a necessary adjunct Of any
feminine shoe, are given additional
prominence and are heavily orna-
mented. Some models are extremely
large and pointed and have appliqued
strips Of contrasting color outlining
the shape. A wide range Of variety
in color and material is given by
shoes Of velvet. brocade and fur.

of the second and third toes, which
sometimes causes sudden severe pain.
Any pressure on the ends of the toes

Answer.-We have discovered just
one kind of readymade footwear
which incorporates the essential prin-
ciples of foot hygiene. namely, an in

ing for the car. As II was he was
only Z second or two In front Of the
other and the last vision he had
through a break In the trees. before
they were spinning smoothly down the
deserted road, was an open window In
Laldley Towers from which dense
volumes of vapor poured steadily out.
OF the house party behind, waiting for
the light to burn low In the brazier,
he could see no sign through the
opaque wall Of green fog.
II took FIVE minutes, so he gathered
afterward from member Of the house
party, before the light had burned SUI
nciently low for the duchess to con.
slider 1t safe to touch the pearls.
In various stages of asphyxlatIon
the assembled guests had peered at
the box. while the cynical comments
Of the men were rightly treated by the
ladies with the contempt they de-
served. Was the necklace not there,
wrapped In its gold and silver tissue,
where few minutes before there had
been nothing?
Some trick Of that beastly light"
remarked the duke peevishly. For
heavens sake throw the dam thing
ont Of the window"
Don't be a fool, John" retorted
his spouse. IF you could do this sort
Of thing, the house Of lords might

When two minutes Inter they stared
horrorstruck at row Of ordinary
marbles laboriously unwrapped from
4 piece Of gold and silver tissue, the
dukes pungent agreement with his
wife's sentiment passed uncontra-
dicted. In fact, 1t Is to be understood
that over the scene which followed II

complete turning Of the tables had for
the moment destroyed his nerve; now.
at Drummond's words, he recovered
himself. There was no mercy on the
soldiers face, and In his Utmost heart
Lexington knew that the end had come.
For strong and wiry though be was,
he was no match for the other.
Relentlessly he felt himself being
forced toward the deadly liquid be had
prepared for Drummond, and as the
irony Of the thing struck him, the
sweat broke out ON his forehead and
he cursed aloud. At last he backed In
to the edge Of the bath and his strug-
giles redoubled. But still there was no
mercy on the soldiers face, and he
felt himself being forced farther and
farther over the liquid until he was
only held from falling into 1t by Drum
monds grip on his throat.
Then, just before the grip relaxed
and he went under, the soldier spoke
once:
Henry Lexington" he said, "the
retribution is just"
Drummond sprang back, and the
liquid closed over the wretched mans
head. But only for second. With
dreadful cry Lexington leaped out,
and even Drummond felt momentary
qualm Of pity. For the criminals
clothes were already burnt through to
the skin, and his face-or what was
left Of twas q shining copper color.
Mad with agony, he dashed to the door,
and flung 1t open. The four men out
side. aghast at the spectacle, recoiled
and let him through. And the kindly
mercy which darlington had never
shown to any one In his life was
given to him at the last.

stairs, and as Drummond got to the
door the end came. Some one must
have put In gear the machinery which
worked on the fifth step. or perhaps 1t
was automatic. For suddenly heavy
steel weight revolving on an arm
whizzed out from the wall and struck
Lexington behind the neck. Without
4 sound he fell forward, and the
weight. unchecked. changed suddenly
home. And thus did the invention Of
which he was proudest break the in
ventor's own neck. Truly, the retribu-
ton was Just.

marked the American, coming into the
hall at that moment, and lighting
cigar.

Drummond. "And the girl" hs added
as an afterthought.

In Which the Last Round Takes Place.
ONE,


It was during the next hour or two
that the full value of Mr.. Jerome X.
Green as an acquisition to the party
became apparent. Certain other prep
arations In honor Of Peterson's arrival
were duly carried out, and then arose
the question Of the safe In which the
all.important ledger was kept.
There 1t Is" sid Drummond, point
ing to heavy steel door flush with the
wall. on the opposite side Of the room

ill-gotten treasure. "And 1t doesn't

that one by pressing any buttons In

It's sure plumb easy. I've been get

From his pocket he produced some
ordinary yellow soap, and the others
glanced at him curiously.
'Tll just give you a little demonstra.
tion," he continued. "of how our swell
craftsmen over the water open safes
when the owners have been 80 tactless
as to remove the keys"
Dexterously he proceeded to seal up
every crack In the safe door with the
soap, leaving small gap at the top
unsealed. Then round that gap he
built what was to all intents and pur-
poses q soap dam.

The group faded away, and the
American laughed.

Hugh politely from the neighborhood
Of the door.

rather than area, and each district ap-

A varying number Of sub-distrlcts In
