YOUR BEAUTY
A NEW SERIES OF PRACTICAL VALUE

ishIng process, which viii give
your nails the fine dull polish
which perfects and protects their
cleanliness. The following for
mula you win find satisfactory:
Pulverized starch. .......A ounce
Powdered bofic acid. .....A ounce
Talcum powder .........A ounce
Tincture OF carrnine. 10 drops
Rub this powder on your buffer
and apply it to your nails evenly
and gently.
The process I have just de-
scribed will occupy about half an
hour Of your leisure during some
evening at home, or on a restful
holiday morning. Plan to give
your nails this systematic clean
ing at least twice a week.
Each day, however, after your
bath, be sure to complete your
toilet by smoothing back the cuti-
Gle with your orange stick wrap
ped in cotton, which should be
always near at hand, and then
apply your file and buffer for a
few finishing touches.

Mr.. Barn Owl. "I'm going to

for that would be very wrong
but how to defend himself when
attacked. VIII you let me do
that?"
OF course, Mamma Owl consent

Boy Owl and several young owls
in the ,neighborhood gathered at
old Mr.. Barn Owls house.
I'm the first place, keep your
eyes open and don't let him slip

Owl. "You have it all over Mr..

rings around them 80. the feath-

air wildly. much to the atnuse-
ment Of the little owl boys.
''Of course, laugh" he said,
getting on his feet again. *'.I

seen me do and most likely youth
scare Mr.. Night Hawk away"
The little boys thought It great
sport, and lay On their backs,
kicking the air with their sharp
claws, The next evening when
Mr.. Rarn Owl went calling he
saw Little Boy Owl on his back,
fighting Mr.. Night Hawk. who,
taken unawares. soon flew away.
Little Boy Owl was too much
for him. and you may believe it
or not, Mr.. Barn Owl was very
proud of his pupil.

preston on him. He no longer
thought so vehemently Of killing
his adversary. This desire re-
treated into the background.
Mar did It occur to him that he
himself might be killed. His one
preoccupation was to calculate
the time properly and obey In
structions, without bothering
about aiming. He must fire be-.
fore the terrible three, 30 that
he should not be given that hor-
rible, mysterious name that made
his hair stand on end.
The colonel stepped forward with
the two loaded pistols. He gave
one to the prince. The other he
put in the lieutenant's right hand,
and instructed him how to stand
with his arm bent, holding the
weapon I1igh-so as to present only
the narrow side Of his body to his
adversary. Once more he dwelt on
his warning. Martinez must be
careful not to make q mistake!
Remember: OneI Two! Three!
He himself stood midway between
the adversaries, withdrawing only,
a few PAGES from the line Of fire.
At last the colonel took off his
hat soIemnly. and with . gesture
of profound sadness. He was
frightened at the motionless and
rigid figure Of his prince, with MS.
pistol raised. He had never seen
him 30 ugly. His face was an
earthen color: there was asquint
in his eyes, and his cheekbones
protruded. His features had been
changed in q moment. as though
the savagery OF his remote ances-
tors, awakened within, had risen to
his face.
"Ready?'. said the colonel final
". ''Firel One"
A shot rang out. Martinez, who
was thinking only Of the terrible
three, had fired. But his shot
went wild. and he saw the prince
standing unharmed before him,
much taller than he had ever SEEM
ed before. He could see the black
hole of Michaeps weapon, and above
that hole an eye which, with . look
OF cold ferocity. was choosing
point on the lieutenant'ss body to
which to send the obedient bullet.
And with unconscious, arrogance

~ NE evening as old Mr.. Barn
Owl was about to start on
~ his evening walk-or rather
flight-he spied a great crowd Of
winged creatures under q street

'"That looks like a fight as sure
as I'm alive" unused old Mr.. Barn
Owl. "But whom are they pick

He tip.toed to the end Of the
branch on which he had been sit
ting enjoying the evening, and
glanced down just in time to see
a poor little boy owl struggling
with a night hawk.
"Who, who. who" he cried at
the top of his voice. 'Who, who.
who do you think you are?". But
Mr.. Night.Hawk paid no atten-
ton and made another dash at
Little Boy Owl.
