Which means that | the lines of her face conformed to esthetic conventions and were rounded out by good sense and good health. She stood at the window of the living room watching for her mother with aged 16, at her side, and | Gladys, aged 10, perched on the win- | dow seat. When the familiar soft toot | of the horn announced the coming of | the car the little group broke up to| rush to the doorway and distribute suitable hugs all 'round. i “I've got her,” said dad quietly, “and | she says she isn't tired with the jour- ney.

She saw two wide windows, fashioned, and open to { breezes. She saw a dark-wood bed- stead, with dainty, silken covers of fuchsia tints, “to go with your lovely white hair,” Ada whispered; a wall- paper that seemed to have stolen the beauties of wistaria and pale roses from the garden. A frail Venetian vase on the toilet table held a cluster of prim little roses. and Granny's toilet silver was already placed there, as her clothes already had found a home in the glass-doored closet. “That other door leads to your bath- room, dearest,” whispered Ada. Granny was overcome. “You're 100 good to me, you dears,” she said. Ada forced her on the chaise and hrew a pink silk shawl over her feet. “Do you remember things, mother?” she said. “Many things, dear, but I don't know what you mean.” ‘Well, I suppose I shall have to make it a fairy tale, as I do when I talk to Gladys. Once upon & time there was a widow, whose husband was killed by a falling tree. This wid- ow had three daughters and a son. The son was 11 years old. The daugh- ters only a little older. Well, this wid- ow had no money, and she had not been educated to teach or do the things that girls then did to earn money. So lattice- she dug in the garden until her fingers | were soiled and her nails broken to give her family food. When came she clerked in the village store. Then when Summer came again she took boarders, cooking and washing for them. But her littie girls were always beautifully dressed and they and the brother attended school regulacly. They | their | not understand then what mother was doing for them, of course. But. they loved her. “Then, when they were old enough the girls went to college. How this wonderful little widow managed it I don’t know. The boy went later, too. Afterward the girls married. Very happily. And then the harvest of love their mother had sown began to grow ripe. When the sons had worked for some years (I mean, of course, the three daughters’ husbands) they prom- ised themselves a treat. They would share their darling mother among them. Wasn't it natural that they should want to make e beautiful for her after she had made hfe, beautiful liv- ing, that is, possible for (h Wasn't it, dea Ada whispered. “You're all dears.

PARIS (#).—The physiognomy of Paris has completely changed since the war and the grand boulevards have been so altered as to be practically un- recognizable. From the Opera to the Madeleine not more than three or four buildings exist which stood there in 1914. New hotels, business houses and office erected. Two or three of the old and renowned cafes have disappeared to make room for | commercial structures. Before the war one could enter any of the little concert cafes and get a glass of coffee for 50 centimes with a couple of songs thrown in. Now coffee costs 5 francs and there is no singing. ‘To some that is the most momentous change. STEAMSHIPS. Vacafion Tour cAaY ALL EXPENSES FROM NEW YORK ANY sTON | usT ON o BAYS *125ve.

(Continned From Yesterday's Star.) TWENTY-SIXTH INSTALLMENT. ‘WAS aching to rush for the office, through the glass doors of which I could see Bretzgel, the manager of the hotel, standing with an auto- . matic in his hand, but it seemed {to me that the situation here was too dangerous to leave. One of the clerks had just been shot through the shoulder, and three or four of the marauders were perilously near. I took the place of the wounded man, but action of any sort was difficult, as only {a few yards behind the raiders was & screming phalanx of guests, struggling to escape. All the time the marauders were creeping closer, and one of them, half-feinting at the next desk. made a sudden leap forward at mine. He slipped, however, upon the smooth sur- face, and I sent him smashing to the fioor. The man who had been preparing to take his place thought better of it and took shelter behind a pillar, from which he fired a wicked, but ineffective, shot at_me. There was & moment's lull. T crept to the office door. Mr Bretzgel. on guard. with half a dozen of the staff, drew the bolts and let me in. “You had word from Mr. Hews that I was coming?" I said to Bretzgel. Bretzgel nodded. “Where did all this riffraff come from?” he gasped. “And where are the police?” “Joseph's gang from the East End I told him briefly. “The police . after them. 300 strong. They'll be here any minute. What about the safe?" 1 was let into the secrets of the room.

They're plan- ning to make off by the embankment. nd it's my belief that they're edging hat way already. Your feliows at the desks are holding their own. and you'll have the place full of police soon. I'm for the restaurant.” They let me out of the office, and T crept into the hall and made a run for the front stairs. A large number of guests were being driven from the em- bankment entrance, and some of them were making some show of resistance. One man in particular was fighting | furiously to cover the retreat of a small | group of women. Two of the raiders he shot_deliberately. 1 shonted encoursgement and started across the room. The man who had been fighting so gallantly swung round toward me. His face and shirt-front were blood stained, his collar and tie were hanging loose. The eutomatie in his hand was smoking. He was standing & little away from the others, gasping for breath. 1 recognized him—recognized him with the greatest thrill of surprise I had ever felt. The man who was fighting the railders so gallantly was Mr. X! The fighting had surged to another part of the room before I had recovered sufficiently from my surprise to embark upon any definite course of.action. little affair closer at hand, during the course of which I recelved a nasty scratch on the cheek, occupied my at- tention for several minutes. When I was free to look around again. I saw the fighting. and on the outskirts, also presenting & bold front, was Mr. Leo- pold. I watched them for several moments. Suddenly I understood the whole business. Mr. X. was going from table to table, wherever the women were Wear- ing the most wonderful jewelry, and his men followed his lead. When he used his gun, as often as not the man at whom ke had fired went rolling to the . in less than a minute, he was up . I watched Leopold. He was playing the same game—always seeming to be encouraging the de- fenders, always seeming to be facing the marauders. I began to move now slowly towards the section of the room where he was engaged. A minor fracas detained me a few moments, and then I braced my- self for what seemed to me might be the adventure of the evening. I siipped fresh cartridges into my gun and faced Mr. X. He had grown more audacious, for half the lamps seemed to have been overturned, and pandemonium reigned everywhere. I saw him point to a table where & woman and two elderly men were seated. I even heard him whisper in the ear of one of the raiders: “Down the front of her dress— glinters, Make sure of them.” Then he flung himself into the fray with spparent fury. The woman, shrieking, fell back in her chair. The man who had attacked her held her for a moment by the throat. while he rip- ped open her dress and drew out a handful of magnificent diamonds. Her twn escorts were powerless; the one who had attempted resistance had been knocked down by another raider who had been waiting to convey the jewels t0 his bag. Mr. X. plunged heroically in. fired his gun _at short range, and the man with the diamonds in his hand reeled over and lay for a moment quite still, while the companion snatched at the gems and darted off with them, tHe woman's shrieks ring- ing out. I went up to the ralder who lay on the ground and kicked him. He opened his eyes in surprise, and I swung around to find myself face to face with Mr. X. “Well met, my young friend,” he mocked. “And now?” ’ “And now this,” I answered, and let fiy for his face, only to find myself slmost overbalanced, as he slipped nimbly on one side with all agility of a lightweight prize fighter. He laughed derisively. = up Trip All expense tours of varying duration THOS. COOK & SON Washi s Lonp & Trest Co. . a cripple | that Mr. X. was still in the thick of | 35 © By E.

We might have settled this matter between us, once and for all” The thought of Rachel’s pathetic face, of Beatrice still in his poter, maddened me, and this time T made no mistake. I struck his wrist such a blow that the gun he had been holding fell to the | ficor. I snatched it up, and, while he hesitating. I slipped the cartridges into_my pocket. “We'll see tomorrow.” I threatened, “what the hero of tonight was playing {at. I have a gun too, Joseph, and my cartridges bite.” “And I have another.” he countered, his hand going to his hip like lightning. “Shall we call it quits?” | "He was panting a little now. his weapon half-drawn, barely a foot or two between us. All around. the scream- ing of women, the smashing of glass, the whole ugly work of the marauders still continued. It seemed to me to matter nothing that I looked into the dark muzzle of Joseph's gun. I had him covered, and my finger itching for its work. “Tell me where Beatrice Essiter is." 1 demanded, “or I'll blow the brains out of vour head, even if I have to die with you.' “"He made no reply. but there crept intn his face that hideous. damnable smile. Then rage swept me into in- sanity, I threw my own gun to the ground, sprang at him. snatched his automatic, and sent it clattering across the floor. My fingers clutched his throat. Although his strength amazed me. and even his convuisive efforts to free himself were the movements of a practiced wrestler, I had him, and he knew it. Then, in that breathless mo- ment, 1 heard another sound—the sound for which T had been listening eagerly a few minutes before, but which now infuriated me. A man came dash- ing into the restaurant | “cops! Ten vans full of them.” h> shouted, and over he went, shot by a pursuer. I looked up for a_moment, and I paid. I felt a hot breath upon my neck, ‘and Leopold hit me with the butt of his revolver.

He snatched up his gun. With my left hand I sent Leopold head over heels, stooped for 8 moment and once more faced Joseph. Again it was a life for a life between us two, but again I was denfed. We were sur- rounded by plain-clothes police. Above the tumult we could hear the sharp detonation of bombs, and little puffs of green smoke came floating down. Then my enemy amazed me once more He flung himself into a chair with a great shout of relief, produced a hand- kerchief and began to mop his face “The police at last!" he cried. “It all right, Leopold. all right, Major. These rascals won't have & dog’s chance now.” 1 stared at . taken aback. The room was alreadv almost empty of the marauders, except for thos= who were being handcuffed and led away. The main body of the police had rushed on to the entrance hall. Two or three. nurses had arrived, followed by men carrying stretchers, and a great many guests who were more frightened than hurt were sitting up once more at their tables, and more were trooping from the_place. xdr X, ;\r'lth'u :\?m of apology. poured himself out a glass of ine Trom the bottle upon the table | by his side. “I hope vou have lost nothing, Lad | Robinson?” he said. | "“My necklace,” she sobbed. “Th | have my necklace.
