Oh you r~ed-blooded male. oh. man,
It's sad these days to know
You're not out battling for the right
Nor giving blow for blow.
Nor out to fight the honest fight
'Gainst greed and labor's foe.
Instead you're in a beauty shop,
You're noble head laid low,
To have each eyebrow plucked and
shaped
Into a perfect bow.
NEW YORK-Ever since hus-
bands and fathers and brothers best
beaus began wearing those dinky
little feathers in their fedoras we
feared the worst ard now that the
Barber Supply Dealers Association
of America has spoken right out at
its annual convention at Chicago the
worst is verified.
Here's the awful truth as handed
out by the tonsorial supply dealers
and they don't care who knows it.
Men have become far better Gus
toners thar the women for. highly
scented soaps, perfumes. toilet
waters and ACE creams!
But that is not the half Of it. I'M
ogene. These erstwhile ave- men,
red-blooded he-men and dominant
males are simply overlooking from
the barber shops into the beauty
salons to have their eyebrows
plucked.
just Like F1appers
Those few struggling hairs
%sprouting haphazard between the
eyes that make the eyebrows a con-
tinuous performance across the
forehead are no longer to be toler-
ated by the fastidious male.
Tweezers and depilatories have
been pressed into service and mas
culine eyebrows are plucked and
coaxed unto an attenuated and
clear-cut arches as r any pains
taking flappers.
Loud was the masculine chorus
of protest when the female invaded
the sanctity of the male barber
shop to have her feminine locks
story when lovely woman frds ev-
cry booth at her favorite bairdress-
ers cluttered up with husky males
having permanent waves n their
eyebrows shaped.
Indeed the arrival of a gentleman
client for a permanent wave has be-
come such an everyday occurrence
in the best hairdressing salons that
the feminine attendants nave long
ceased to be either thrilled or
amused by them.
Even the conservative OF the
male contingent succumb TO their
weakness for strong perfumes and
scent by such a generous applica-
ton OF odorous pomades and bril-
liantines that they fairly reek and
their abject devotion 70 scented
massage cream. tissue cream and
toilet water would make wen a pro-
fessional beauty weaken.
Though by their brilliantire alone
we have scented for some time
these barbarous masculine failings
as just revealed by the barber sup
ply dealers convention. it is really
almost more than a weak woman
a stand to learn on top Of this
that the latest fashion hint from
Paris for lie monsieur, trec-chic" is

coyly from the breast pocket Of the
coat.

Light Fingers few after the mag
ic automobile as fast as he could
go. This time he was pretty sure
Of getting Il for Twelve Toes, his
master.
Everything else had failed the
rain, the fog, the stone wall, and the
lasso.
But this time Light Fingers was
sure of himself. He put his hand
into his pocket to make sure that
the little pill Twelve Toes had given
him was still there.
1t was a magic pill and had pecu-
liar power. 1t had the power OF max
ing anything it touched turn back
ward.
I know what you are asking right
this minute, my dears. You are say
ing, Then why didn't Light Fingers
have to fly backward instead of
going after the Twins?"
This is why. The little pill wasn't
touching him at all. 1t was in a
bottle-a little glass pill bottle away
down in his pocket.
The bad little fairy was going over
and over the words Of his master.
Fly after the magic automobile"
Twelve Toes had told him, "and
when you get near enough, unscrew
the top on the gasoline tank and
drop in the magic pill. Instantly the
gasoline will be bewitched. and the
automobile will start to run back
ward over the road"

CHAPTER 10.
BANDITS

Begin Here Today
Business cares have spoiled an ex-
cursion about Naples for
JACK DURYEA and his bride,
EDNA. and
COUSINS, European for
Jacks employers. Jack secretly
is investigating Cousins activities
with a view to discovering sus-
pected double-dealing.
Go on With the Story
They were returning from Pom
peii to Naples in the big green car.
Tired as he vas with the long days
excursion and conscious of the sup
pressed antagonism between himself
and Edna, Jack noticed how slowly
the machine was going.
Suddenly, in the darkest part of
q gloomy, dirty street, no wider than
an alley. several figures leaped from
the shadows to the running board.
"Soldi. signor. soldi!" cried a
raucous voice.
Jack knew the beggar formula.
but this was no beggar's tone. OBJ
viousiy the man was the leader of a
company Of marauders and this his
impatient threat. Edna shrank

taking a revolver along. Cousins
snarled something in Italian.
From the grouped figures burst
an answering snarl. The leader
leaned forward and actually
snatched at the string of jearls
about Edna's throat. Jack thrust
her back and planted a hard fist
neatly in the attackers face. The
man went down., but
At nee five or six others leapt to
the car. Edna screamed and hid her
face. Jack strove to protect her and
attack the ruffians at the same time.
Cousins was whacking about to
right and left. Things looked des-
perate. Then suddenly the CLEAN of
an appraised knife followed by
shrieking oath.
The knife was knocked to the
street by an effective blow from
Cousins stout cane.
The manager had risen and was
now plying his heavy stick fear
lessly about the attacking party. The
chauffeur clapped on a burst of
speed and Jacks hard fists knocked
off the two who chung fast to the
running board.
When the machine gained the well
lit Via Roma, Cousins turned to the
Duryea's.
"Neapolitan bandits - dangerous
dogs!" he muttered.
Edna, trembling with shock, stam-
mered her thanks to Cousins for his
courageous conduct. Jack said
nothing.
Distressed at his conspicuous
SILENCE. Edna nudged him, but he
still remained stern and silent.
Spent and miserable, she, too,
lapsed into silence, but when they
at last reached their room in the
hotel, she broke out in r~eproaches.
Really. Jack-after the splendid
way Monsieur Cousins behaved"
Jack wheeled.
"Listen! That a took a round
about way to the hotel. The chauf-
