What matters the color or
shape Of the eye if it is "full
of gentle salutations and soft
responses. Numbered among
the facial features, the eyes take
first place, because they convey
charming thoughts and tender
emotions. Human sparklers are
considered most beautiful, from
q physical standpoint, when they
are neither too round or too
long. The distance between
them should be the length of
the eye. Their loveliness is ac-
centuated when the eyebrows
are perfectly arched and lashes
are long, curly and lifted.

EIGHTH INsTALLMENT.

JOHNSON remained lost in thought
as he and Engleden went back
TO Barowsburgh by the noon
~ train. Engleden let him alone
He himself was cudgeling his
brains in the effort to solve this last
problem Had the murder of Millwaters
sprung out of the murder of Col. Engle-
den? They had left Madison with the
Harrington Observation-Disclosures two
men had formed a theory and were
sticking to it.
The theory was that, when Millwaters
left the Saloon-bar of the Station Hotel
the previous evening, he had recognized
some man who had just gone out and
had followed him into the street. There
had arisen a difficulty. According to the
two barmaids, the saloon-bar had been
unusually full of customers that eve
ming, and about 10 o'clock, when there
were two or three trains almost due to
leave the adjacent station, several men
had gone out about the same time. No
one had seen Millwaters in converse
ton with any other customer; he ap-
peared to have sat In corner alone.
But the Harrington police, by IL o'clock
that morning, had unearthed a man, a
frequenter Of the saloon-bar, who had
been able to give some definite infor-
nation.
He said that he had remarked Mill
waters as stranger and had wondered
who he was. He had been there all the
time MillwaterS was in tie bar. Mill
waters had come in carrying an over
coat, hat and an umbrella. He had
placed these articles in a chair near
him.
At 10 o'clock group of three or four
men-none of whom was known to the
1nformant-went out by the side door
into the street. Millwaters suddenly
snatched up his hat and went after
them, leaving the overcoat and the UNI
brena behind. The informant thought,
of course, that Millwaters was coming
back When at 1890 he hadn't re-
turned, he drew the attention of one
of the barnaids to the articles in the
chair. The barmaid said it didn't mat
ter-the gentleman was staying at the
hotel-he'd been in the bar before din
ner for five minutes. The local police
were now endeavoring to trace the
members Of the small group of Gus
toners followed by Millwaters.
johnson, however, as his first words
proved when he came out of his reverie,
had not been concerning himself with
the Millwaters affair. As the local train
drew up at Barowsburgh he glanced at
Engleden.
Here once more" he remarked. land

business. I've formed two definite con-
illusions"
"Well7" inquired Engleden.
1.-THE first Is that the E5 note changed
BY a soldier at Harrington is undoubt-
edly one that belonged to Col. Engle-
denl" replied johnson.
That" remarked Engleden sarcas-
tically, sis very profound thought of
yours, Johnson! The f5 note certainly
belonged to Col Engleden!"
The second" continued johnson, 'is
that the soldier who changed the g.
note Is not Col. Engleden's murderer
and knows nothing about the murder.
Stop, thought I'll qualify that I mean
he didn't know who murdered Col.
Engleden.'

dead on the outskirts Of the town. The
murderer got clean away"
ANY clue to him?"
cat present, none"
"You think this arises out Of the
previous crime?
1T seems to me so. Yes!-that's my
conclusion. 1t must have done"
There's a fact not to be overlooked
though" interrupted johnson. Mill
waters, who, according to his own ac-
count has lately practiced as private
inquiry agency. told us last night that
he was killing two birds with one stone
by coming to Harrington. In other
words, he'd another job there. He
didn't tell us what it was. But the
murder may have risen out of that.
Shoreham nodded-and glanced at
the table, already laid for lunch.
May I lunch with you?" he said
There's a great deal to discuss
Il was just going to ask you" inter
rupted Engleden. We've had all our
meals here, in private, for that reason
Where is, indeed. no end OF things 70
discuss-and, up to now, we haven't got
much further"
IF you would give me sort of re-
sumo of the whole story" suggested
Shoreham. Il might be able to offer one
or two plans of campaign. For example
you're of opinion that COL Engleden,
when he came to this town, recognized
somebody who had been under his
charge at Southmoor, and that he had
reason to know that somebody to be,
say, a bad lot, or an undesirable lot
or something of that sort?"
well, something rather more def
mite than that" replied Engleden.
From certain discoveries we've made,
johnson and believe that, when he got
here, Col. Engleden recognized one, or
perhaps both, of the men who made a
sensational escape from SouJhmoor dur
ing the time he was governor there"
you mean Smelling and Hardle? ]
remember that. Most sensational affair,
as you say. But what reason have you
for thinking this?"
The end of that story did not come
until well after lunch was over. Even

time are still there. Johnson Advances
The theory that the colonel may hare

Well. are there any solicitors names?"
Several-in various cited cases." said
Johnson. But they convey nothing"
All the same" remarked Engleden,
ever since heard that my uncle had
been in that court I've had a convic-
ton that it was while he was there that
ne made some recognition Of some man
or men. AS far as We can ascertain, it
was the only public place he visited
He must have seen somebody therel"
It's always been a marvel to me-"
Shoreham said meditatively, "a positive
marvel, that that chap Smelling was
never recapturedl I know, of course
that he had wealthy and influential
friends behind him-must have had,
or they couldn't have managed what
they did-but still, descriptions of him
were circulated all over. broadcast. And
Smelling was good to identify-anybody
could have identified him from one
thing only. Smelling on his right wrist
carried the most peculiar birthmark
I've ever seen; mark-hulloi"
He stopped short staring at Ensle-
den. Engleden had suddenly leapt to
his feet. His lips were parted; his eyes
glittered 1t was plain to those watch
ing him that he had remembered some
thing.

Bible and Finger Prints.

Quoting from the Book Of Job, chap
ter 81, verse Z, Detective Sergt Garrett
of Scotland Yard declared at q recent
inquest at Portsmouth, England, that
the Bible showed the infallibility of
identification by finger prints. The
verse reads, He sealeth up the hand
Of every man; that all men may know
His work" The inquest was on q man
who was found dead under some bushes
and was identified by finger prints as
George Yates Of Battersea. Garrett said
that since 1901 Scotland Yard had
identified more than SOC, 900 persons
who otherwise would never have been
traced.

VERDTs aREouIEM" rs GIVEN.


M. y. Church last night.
The composition was the famous Re
quiem," composed by Giuseppe Verdi in
honor of Alessandro Manzoni. 1t is
beautiful work, impressive, churchly,
yet with the powerful dramatic quality
that one would expect from the pen of
the master of Italian opera writers. 1t
invites subtle, mysterious setting and
costuming with artistic lighting, such
as the Germans have developed to make
it perfect. The presentation last night
in simple choral concert form was one
of the finest things that Washington
has produced in the musical field in the
last few years. John Marville, director
of this choir deserves a double portion
of appreciation for his courage and
initiative in working out so well pre-
pared a production of so dignifled and
difficult a work. 1t was obvious that
the people of Washington did appreciate
just these qualities for, in addition to
the congregation of theh church, the
musicians generally Of Washington ap-
peared in very representative numbers.
It has been the privilege of the writer
of this review to see the actual original
manuscript of this Requiem" in the
Verdi exhibit in the museum, that Is
connected with La Scala Opera House
in Milan, italy. It was therefore,
doubly interesting to hear what Is the
first presentation Of this work here for
what is reported to be more than q
ment for the choir Of 80 voices, and
the soloistS, was given by the organ,
admirably played by Edith B. Athey,
and an orchestra of IS pieces. There
is rich beauty in the orcheStration,
always complimenting the work Of the
