 When he spoke it was with gentle gravity.
 T want word with you. Mrs. Gael"
 You know them The woman who had been called "Gerda" placed both thin hands to her breast and bowed her head.
 I do not know how you discover ed the truth. but it doesn't matter now; the purpose for my presence here has been taken out of my hands,"
 '"The family have all retired ?" Oden drew her toward the library. "Sit down here, please; I shall not de- tain you long. Mrs Gael, I think know your motive for rnasquerading here, but I should like to hear it confirmed by your own lips. It was in order that you might be revenged in some way upon Farley Drew. was it not?''
 Again she bowed her head.
 DO ou know all that this man has done to me For my own folly and unfaithfulness to my husband. blame no one but myself; and have makes life worth living. He had promised me that if I were divorced he would make me his wife, and I be- lieved him; later he refused to keep that promise. and he was my only refuge, my one hope of even a partial rehabilitation in the estimation of my world" She lifted her tragic eyes and rested them upon the detectives face. 1T admit that I was desperate, that I pleaded with him, followed him, lost all sense of pride in my terror of a future without him; ead-he had made other plans in which I would have no part. I was menace to those plans, a menace to his whole future career; and he conspired with a crooked phsician to railroad me to 1! an insane asylum. I was never an attendant in one as told you, Ser geant Odell, but an inmate-I, who was as absolutely sane as you see mo now!''

TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENT.

Today I want to talk particularly to the woman over 35 and to those women under 35 who are working just little bit harder than they should.
 There is a little peried in the day when these women begin to "give out"
 It is a. little o'clock tired feeling: it is the in-between part of the day, when the bulk of the work is done and when the world in general re- laxes and turns it's mind to pleasure. It is just at that period that every woman looks her age or little mora than her age.
 The English people get over this trying period by relaxing and having tea And we as a nation are coming more and more to follow this excel way of resting and refreshing your self and getting past that one most trying hour of the day.
 If you can so arrange it, have your daily hot bath at this time, for noth- ing is more refreshing or more re- laxing than this. Then if possible, change into another dress. a thing in itself refreshing: or. better yet, be fore you dress lie fiat on your back for as many minutes as yon can the face with cold cream, then get into your tub of hot water. bathe and | at the end of the bath wash the face | with hot water. Follow this with an | ice rub.
 This quick Urea tment and even a | 1o-minute rest will make the skin | look fresh and will rub out many ot
 those little lines which come from so much older. The bath. the mas
 sage and the rest need only take . half hour altogether, but it will Tiff years from your face.

CHAPTER CLXXXvIII.


 Hardly had I persuaded Valerie Cosby to keep the blue robe she ! thought so gorgeous when a second intruder burst into my apartment. { came in declaring that she couldn't help it-they had phoned Monsieur from the office and he was going back to town, and. he'd be right up she was not to blame. All this in French-voluble, excited. "You understand French, of course?' asked Valerie, turning to up her eyes a tthe corners and mar rowed them to living, black-lashed slits. Then to the maid:
 Ut is very good. Helene. that Mon have been very lonely this evening. But surely you did not come down and leave Rammi?''
 The last sentence was said so cold | 1y, so accusinsly, that the maid turn ed and dashed out, excusing herself l all over again very volubly as be- fore

 She was all -eagerness. as she had been over the robe, but soon she lapsed into her tone of thick, creamy indolence.
 i "I must go. Poor old Lane is all ways so cross if I'm not all dressed up when he comes. So I'll have to hurry out of these rags I travelled in, and make myself fine for him. He's such an old dear, isn't he?"

 Odel1 drew his pistol and a pocket electric flash, and motioning Miller to one side of the kitchen door, took up his position at the other. The light in the side window had been suddenly extinguished; and now above the clamor from the front of the house Odell caught the sound of stumbling footsteps within, and once a woman's frightened, convulsive sob.
 The kitchen door swung inward, and a mans figure appeared SUD- porting that of woman who clung to him desperately. As he stepped down from the rickety porch pierc- ing shaft of light glared into his face, and Odelrs voice commanded:
 Up with your hands, Farley Drew!'
 You" Drew emitted a. string of oaths; but he thrust the girl roughly from him and retreated Q. step or two. slowly elevatiing his hands in the air. His debonair insouciance was gone, and in the glare of the electric torch his face showed a dis torted mask of evil passions.
 You thought Miller and I were safely under guard at that boathouse. didn't you" Odell paused to blow blast upon his whistle. 'It didn't oc- cur to you that it might be burned to the waterline; that Pete was dead ana Tony at headquarters telling all he knows-Oh, would you!''
 For with the realization of what this intelligence meant Drew had suddenly lowered his hands and rusn ed for his antagonist. Cissie Cha1- mers was struggling like a little wild cat in Miller'S embrace; but Smith came dashing around the corner of the house just as with a mighty crashing of the undergrowth thelr chauffeur bounded with a Joyous whoop into the fray.
 Drew fought with the strength and ferocity of despair; but ne would have been no match for Odel alone, and the struggle was a short lived one. Handcuffed and with snarling curses, he was dragged to where the two cars waited in the roadway.
 Miller, you can drive that road Ster, can't yorI?'' Odell asked. Smith can stand on the running board and zee that your passenger behaves him. sslf; for I'm going to give you two the job of taking Drew to headquar- ters. I'll escort Miss Chalmers home"
 Cissie gave a sharp cry of despair as the roadster gided off, then drew herself up and. disdairing Odells hand, stepped into the tonneau ot He got in beside her, and the chauf- fenr took his place behind the wheel When he received the address he emitted a low whistle.
 Great caesar! The murder house! he exclaimed. Say, did that guy
 "Oh, it is a lie!-A lie!'' The in dignant cry was wrung from Cissie but she instantly recovered hersel and uttered no further word until tht Meade house was reached.
 There Odell detained her with firm hand upon her arm until he hae settled with the obIging chauffeur then he accompanied her up the step and rang the bell.
 The door was opened almost imme diately, but not by Peters. Gerd stood there, and her eyes sought Cis sie's face with a look of stern ques tioning; but the girl wrenched he arm from OdelPs grasp and with sob rushed past the maid and up tn stairs.
 Odell closed the front door behin him and faced Gerda beneath tn brilliant hall light. The woman rais ed her eyes steadily to meet his, br

XXXVII SYNOPSIS

Two deaths and two serious acci- dents in the home of Richard Isorne bring Barry OdeH, a detective, into the case, and suspicion rests on Lorne. During OdelPs absence Cissie, Lorne's stepdaughter, leaves ants follow her to a house on the outskirts Of the city where they believe she has gone to meet Far ley Drew.
 "If Drew is in there he evidently doesn't anticipate a flank attack ' rear getaway in case of trouble. Re- member that little roadster in front of the open lot?"
 Sure; but what's his game with the girl? If he knows we've got Sims his only chance is to get clean away; and he wouldn't want to be hAmperd with a petticoat."
 He knows that no third degree in the world will make Sims talk; and rdmember he still thinks Miller and I are up in that boathouse guarded by Tony and Pete. In his estimation all we've got on him is that attempt to blackmaiF Gene; and he. will be safe from prosecution if he marries into the family, don't you see?'' Odell ex- plained hurriedly; adding as Miller reappGared around the corner, Well? !? Did you hear anything ?S
 It's an elopement,' Miller declar- cd. There's a. fellow and girl in there, but no one else. I don't think. They're arguing, him for a. justice of the peace and her for a minister; but it looks like he's winning out"
 All right; we'll waste no more time." Odell observed grimly. Smith, go round to- the front door; have your gun handy. knocH and stamp as loud as you can, and demand ad- mittance in the name of the law. They won't bother you; but stay there until I whistle; then come back and lend a hand"
 Smith disappeared in his turn around the corner of the house; and in another moment the silence was broken by the tramp and scuffle as of many feet, a resounding chatter
