Yes, he was there. She could distinguish the rustle of papers and the sliding scrape of a heavy volume drawn forward for ref- erence. She opened the door with a quick movement and entered, it behind her and standing still near it.

I never drank champagne before, either.” ““Come sit by the fire,” said Hilary, drawing her with him. I won't taik of anything with you till you're quite warm again.” He settled her in a low chair and drew up another beside it. “Now, my little Moenad,” he said, smiling, “we can discuss the details of your supposed frenzy, if you in- sist.” There it was again!

Her eyes were again on his, and she did not let him finish. “1 have such a dreadfu teeling of having done and said odious things,” she muttered. “It's like the feeling that comes from a bad dream that one can't remember in detail. Did I"—she put her hand on the arm of his chair, leaning toward him—"did I say anything rude to you—hateful?” Hilary took refuge in a half-truth. “You said one thing that I was very glad you had made up your mind to say. It was about O'Shea, Don't you remember?”’ Celia's look of frustrated memory became quite piteous. **No," she whispered. confused “What was “You told me that he loves you and wants you to—to be free, to, er— marry him,” answered Hilary, finding it rather difficult to repeat her plain language. Cella turned scarlet. He hadn't dreamed she could blush like that. He bent forward and mended the fire time to subside. “Was that all that I said about she faltered as he sat back, his own face now glowing from the furi- blazing fire. “Not quite,” he answered. “You sald another thing even more impor- tant. You told me that you were not sure whether you loved him or not.” Celia's look fiickered to him, timid yet determined. “Was that all?” “AlL" said Hilary firmly. Then he smiled. “I think that was quite enough to | give a perplexed guardian food for thought,” he observed. His next words were quite grave. ‘“Tell me, Celia, was It only a mood of yours last night or do you really feel uncertain as to whether you love O'Shea?" It was Celia's turn to move rest- lessly. She locked her fingers to- gether, unlocked them, then clasped them about her girdle with nervous tightness. “I—I don't know." she said at last. “Excuse me, my. dear,” returned Hilary with some sharpness, “but that is nonsense. Either one loves a per- son or one doesn't. Either one is in Iove or out of it. A man can't be a little dead—he's either dead or alive. That's the way with love—the love between lovers, T mean."

Preparing this mixture, tK:uxh, at home is mussy and troublesome. For only 75 cems you can buy at any drug store the ready-to- use preparation, im- proved by the addi- ather ingredients called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound.” You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully ~darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is a sign of old age, and as we g, Gald - - tion of | northeast, all desire a youthful and attractive 1nearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. For a change THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. POISON NOT FOUND IN BODY OF WOMAN Analysis Strengthens Opinion Mrs. Scarlett's Death Was Result of Natural Causes. A chemical analysis of the contents of the stomach of Mrs. Josephine Scarlett, 61 years old, 4426 Ord street who dled at Emer Hospital last Sunday, failed to show the presence of poison, according to a report of the District chemis mitted to Inspector Henrv G. chief of detectives, and Dr. J. sey Nevitt, District coroncr yeste day. An autopsy performed shortly after death, when relatives expressed the fear Mrs. Scarlett micht have been poisoned, disclosed five perforations of the intestines. Much impetus was given to the investigation by the fact that a son- ; in-law of Mrs. Scarlett, Robert D. Flynn, living with his wife and two children at the same address, died suddenly on January 14, after hav- ing been afflicted with lead poisoning for some time. Relatives of the brother at the time felt that the true cause of death was not lead polsoning, it said, but they kept any susp they might have had to themselves. Failure to find poison in the stomach of the dead woman, it is stated, verified the suggestion made by Coroner Nevitt at the time the investigation was ordered, which was to the effect that death had re- sulted from natural causes. HELD FOR JOY-RIDING. High School Student Charged With Taking Attache’s Auto, Enoch Howard Totten, 16 years old, 1707 M street, a student at Business High School, was arrested at midnight Friday and charged with joy-riding in an automoblle belonging to Alfredo Lozan, attache of the Colombian lega- tion. The capture was effected after a long chase. Another youth in the car with Totten escaped as it was brought to a halt. Lozan parked his car near Twenty- first and R streets about 9 o'clock last night, and two hours later discovered it had been taken. He told the police the first two numbers of the license plate were 58, ond shortly after re- ceiving the report Officers C. S. Creel and J. G. Middlethon of the fourteenth precinct sighted what they believed to be the car.
