A lorge share of your beauty de- pends upon physical well beinz. For instance, a wrong diet or un- derweight can have a harmful 2f- fect upon your skin, giving it a dry texture. So in dieting or cor- recting your weight, keep watch upon your skin. It can serve as an excellent barometer. If it seems too dry, examine your diet to see if it might not be at fault. 3 MEMBERS ARE HONORED FRIDAY Martha Soctety Pays Re- spects—Mrs. Van Atta Gives Recitation There was a large attendance at the social meeting of the Martha Society last Friday afternoon from 2t05 o'clock in the church parlors of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church.

People in villages have terribly sharp eyes and a superhuman fac- alty for putting two and two to- gether even when they don't really exist. As for Patsy Ann, she had got over being peeved and was affection- ate, clinging and conversational to the last degree. She sat up till eleven o’clock talking about Robert. This was the main theme, but it proved to be prolific in side shoots, such as, would it be tactful to in- sist upon mew curtains and chair- covers in the drawing-room — the existing ones having been installed by Robert's mother at a period when maroon plush was considered the last word in elegance. Before falling asleep Patsy had decided on names for two children, a boy and a girl, to be called re- spectively Robert "Lancelot and Patsy Elaine. In spite of the fact that she and Robert were darl, both these children were to have ¢ curls and eyes of forget-m In her dreams they hovered, er g Caroline passed through the vil fage and up the drive to Hale Place |} n the pitch dark. There was no mdon tonight; a thick haze covered the | whole sky, and the air was heavy with damp. If she had not known every step of the way, she might bave lost herself a'dozen times. She came round the houvse and felt her way through the yard to the back door. She did mot mind dark loneliness of the dr! she came near the house, its silence and fts emptinéss came to meet her. «She felt cold and rather fright- ened. She turned the handle'of the back door and pushed it open. The dark- ness of the passdge lay before her | ike the darkness of a cave. She stood on the threshold and called into the darkness softly. “Jim—" There wasn't any answer. What was she going to do if he didn't answer? He might be somewhere deep in the old house—he might be asleep—he might have gone away. No, he wouldn’t have gone away. because he had promised. She called again, and heard the silence smother his name. The real- ly dreadful thought that she might have to wander through the dark house looking for him tugned her perfectly cold. There were cock- roaches. There were probably mice. There might easily be spiders. It was a grim business. A furry thing might run across one’s foot. One might tread on something that squelched. HE called once more, and no one answered her. She was a most perfect fool not tb have brought a torch. There was nothing for it but to go on. She felt her way to the kitchen, set down thé basket she was carry- ing, and went on until her out- stretched 'hands touched the green baize door that shut off thé ser- vants’ wing. On the other side of {in my life, The torch stabbed again. She made out the black outline of & man’'s hand and arm, and a vague something that was head and shoul ders. Then lLe was gone through the baize door, and with a rush of air and a swishing sound Jim had slid the banisters, jumped clear, and was after him. It all rather took her breath away. Spiders, cockroaches and mice she had been prepared for, but mot a game of devil-in-the- dark. She sat down on the stairs and waited for Jim to come back. She had to wait for what_seemed like a long time. The silence settled round her. The darkness was like a thick impenetrable curtain. The air of the house was cold and dead. Caroline couldn’t make up her mind which would be worst, to hear some terrifying sound, or to go on hearing nofhing. After a little she began to think she would rather hear something — anything. The silence seemed to be stopping her ears, and the black dark pressing ogainst her eyeballs. Then after a long time she heard Jim coming back—footsteps in the passage and the swing of the baize door. Then he was crossing the hall, walking quickly and firmly like & man who knows his way. He was 2ctually passing her before she stood up and said, “Jim—" His startled “Caroline!” came from less than a yard away. Then his hand touched her face, and she gave an odd little cry. It was like a game of devil-in-the-dark. ROLINE! Where did you ng from?” caught him by the arm, hold- m tight. y didn't you wait for me? It's the horridest thing I've ever done coming into an empty, chy house like this.” “It wasn’t empty, tle grimly. “That made it worse.” Her voice ached tragic depths. “I eort of rung myself up to bear spiders and cockroaches and things, but I t bargain for people plinging n the stairs at me in the dark.” “Were you there?” “I was here—and he mearly knocked me down,”®ieclared Caro- line quite untruthfully. Jim spoke quickly. “You didn’t see him when he put the torch on?” “Only his hand, Jim—who was it?” “1 wieh I knew. Look here, come npstairs—we needn’t talk in the dark—I've found some candles.” “I've brought you some — and things to eat. The basKet's in the kitchen.” They brought it, and came back through the hall and up the stairs. Jim put his arm round her at the top and guided hef along the right- hand corridor; then to the left, two steps down, a little way along, and three steps up. A door stood open. Jim let go ol Catoline, stfuck a match, and lighted'a candle in a tall white candlestick. The MNght fell yellow and soft upon & queér room panelled with bak. It had five tall, narrow windows and a deep alcove which contained an old four-post bed with a heavy valdnce of blue damask. The wifidows were shut- tered and had ¢turtains of thé same damask ‘as the bed hangings. The fireplate ‘was ‘ofi the r[gn: of the dcor. 1t had a dedp brick hearth. On the shelf above it stood the candle. Jim shut the door. “Come and sit down. T¥é locked the back do6r; o we shan’t have any more visitors.” Theré wére no ¢hairs fn the room. They éat side by sidé on the bed and lookéd at oné another. d Jim a lit- it, she stood listening and scarchiug the darkness. She was in the hall; with the stair- case going up on her right, and be- yond it a door leading into the draw- ing-room. On this side two doors, one into the dining-room and the other irito the library, Both of these, doors were locked on the outside. Shé crossed thé hall and tried the drawing-room door. Thut too was locked. She had her foot on the bottom step of the stairs, when suddenly away above her in the darkness a door binged. There was the mo- mentary ftash of a torch, just a sharp stab of light, ana then the sound of someont running. Caroline shrank back against the newel.

He was silent. She was get- ting frightened, when he said, “I'm afraid that doesn’t prove anything. A crook might have very good reasons for not giving away a specimen of his handwriting.

Her landlady was terribly chatty and all that, but as she never 86t eéyes on Nesta's young man it wasn’'t much good.” Jim sat Yeaning forward on the bed, his elbows on his knees and rather a blank look on his face. It was as if he had put up his shutters and behind them were setting out Caroline’s puzzle pieces. They fitted into the bits that Nesta had given him and the bits which he himself had been able to produce. Up to the time of his landing his memory was perfectly clear. There was a six weeks' gap. The pleces fitted into the gap. He had landed on the first of July. He might have married. Nesta Williams on the twenty-fifth. 1t between the first and the twenty-fifth he had fun off the rafls and conceived the crasy {dea of rob- bing Elmer Van Berg; he would prob- ably have taken stéps to cover his tracks. Why, even if crazy, he should have married Nesta Willlams was beyond him. He reckoned it as a form of suicidal mania and left it at that. “I've got heaps more to tell you, Jim,” said Caroline. She began to pour out the atory of her interview with Mrs. Rodgers. “I @ldn’t know that I was going to follow- her, but when she got out of the train, some- thing just yanked me out of my seat and pushed me on to the platform, and the next thing I knew, we were climbing Meade Hill practically hand in hand, and I was imploring her to tell mo all.” | “what did she tell you?
