the age of IA years? (3) How should
a girl comb her hair at the age Of
II years7 a. How old should you b.
10 go to the dances7 Your truly,
MISS P. H. & P. F.
Homedale, Idaho.
~ No, indeed, you should have no
thought of boys at IA, but have your
entire mind on your studies and school
work. (3) How absurd! OF course not;
how could you? (S) A style I think
very becoming and simple is to comb
1t back from the face in any manner
which Is becoming to your particular
features; bring it together at the back,
braid = few inches ana fasten with .
barette, leaving tho curled ends free
A girl of fourteen should not dress her
hair in any extreme style. such as ear
puffs or "roughed" in enormous pufts at
the side of the head. Always the sim
pie. girlish styles are in better taste

 Much demanded attention and Rrendon was soon hevotins himself ta Months passed. the hody of Michael Pendean had not been recovered, and the little world or Scotland Yard pigeon-holed the mystery. while the larger world forgot all about il.
 Meantime, with sense of secret relief, Mark Brendon prepared to face what had sprung out of these in- eidents, while permitting the events themselves to pass from his present interests. There remained Jenny Pendean and his mind was deeply prcoecIpiied with her.
 Indeed. apart from the daily toll of work. she filled it to the exclusion of every other personal consideration. He longed unspeakably to see her again. for though he had corre- sponded during the progress of his inquiries and kept her closely in- formed of everything that he was doing, the excuse for these communi- cations no longer existed. She had acknowledged every letter, but her replies were brief and she had given him no information concerning her self, or her future intentions. though he had asked her 10 do so. One item of information only had she couchsofed and he learned that she was finishing The bungalow to her ing a possible customer to take over Ter lease, She wrote:
 "I cannot see Dartmoor again, for 1t means my happiest as well as my most unhappy hours. I shall never be so happy again and, hope, never suffer so unspeakably as I have dur ing the recent past"
 He turned over this sentence many times and considered the weight of every word. He concluded from 1t that Jenny Pendean, while aware that her greatest joys were gone for ever, yet looked forward to time when her present desolation might give place to a truer tranquility and con- tent.
 The fact that this should be so, however ,astonished Brendon. He judged her words were perhaps ill l chosen and that she implied swift CT return to peace than in reality would occur He had guessed that , year at least instead of merely these four months, must pass before her terrible sorrow could begin to dim. Indeed he felt sure of it and con- cluded that he was reading an imph- cation into this pregnant sentence that she had never intended 1t to carry. He longed to see her and was just planning how to do so, when chance offered an opportunity.

 Suspicion, however. seemed to dir minish as he aseended great heights west Of ihe river esiuaryi and when within the space of two hours he had reached a place fFam which Grows Nest" could be seen, Pelehed between the cliff heights and a gray, wintry sea, nothing hut the anticipated vision of the woman held his mind,

In fact Mr, Reed didn't much approve Of the match He described man who might very easily slip oyer the hor- der line between reason and unrea. fon.

 What shall you do next?" asked Halfyard.
 Get back to Plymouth again and make close inquiries among the onion boats.

These will probably be back again with another load in week or two. One ought 10 be able to check them"

 There isn't admitted Mark. Its all been routine work and devil of lot of time wasted in my opinion. Be- tween ourselves, I'm rather ashamed of myself, Halfyard. I've missed something-the thing that most mat tered. There's sign-post sticking up somewhere that I never saw
 The inspector nodded.
 Tt happens so sometimes-cruel vexing-and then people laugh at us and ask haw we earn our money Now and again, as you say, there's a danger signal to a case so clear as the nose on mans face, and yet, owing to following some other clue, or sticking to a theory that we feel can and must be the only right one, we miss the real, vital point till we go and bark our shins on it. And then, perhaps, it's too late and we look silly
 Brendon admitted the truth of this experience.
 There can only be two possible situations" he said. "either this was a motiveless murder-and lack of mo- tive means insanity: or else there was a deep reason for it and Redmayne killed Pendean, after plotting far in advance to do so and get clear him. self.

PHYSICIAN HAS NEW
 METHOD 0F
 REDUCING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

High blood pressure is one thing that every insurance company looks for in it's examination. When it Is present you cannot hope to be passed. The company will refuse to insure you. You are a bad risk. Yet many people have high blood pressure and do not realize it.
 If you have frequent headaches dizzy spells, sour stomach, ringing in ears palpitation of the heart, you may have high blood pressure, IL is in itself symptom that usually indi- cates that your system is clogged with poisonous wastes. Before relief can be had these posons must be eliminated.
 A well-known physician who has given years Of study to the subject of bleod pressure discovered a new for mula that reduces blood pressue in a natural way by acting upon the cause. This new preparation has been so remarkably successful in thou sands of clinical cases, even those of years standing, that it was decided to dispense it through local druggists under the name of Bi-a-lin with guarantee to return the purchase price to any rare case that was not wonderfully benefited by the very first bottle.
 Bi-a-lin easily and quickly drives out the poisons and lowers Blood Pressure in Natures own way.
 It is mild. pleasant and harmless in it's action and brings within a few days q wonderful new feeling of vigor and power.
 Bi-a-lin can be had in convenient tablet form from all good druggists.
