Had 1t not been for the handker- ehief I would have sald that it was plearly a case for the Soclety for PPsychical Research and have washed hands of it. But though to be sure fllmy enough object, the handker- ef, with the initials “B.

No doubt the simple nation was that the fever which ad possessed my body for many weary ks still dominated my brain. | Wedrying at length of the problem, I ed the delicate bit of cambric and ¢e beneath my pillow and again re- ed myself to sleep. A year later I was in California, os- ibly on a vacation, but also with a wiew of absorbing color for a novel of ploneer days which I was planning to write. 1 was at dinner one evening in San Francisco with my friend Maxfleld, a pewspaper man, when I caught sight of familiar face at one of the restaurant les. ‘“That’s sigular!” I exclaimed pres- “What's singular?” queried Maxfleld. you have reference to the falr ature at whom you are gazing so tently, I may say that while she is inly single, I do not know that | fs\Mooked upon as singular.” “The fact is,” I returned, “that for moment I imagined that I had met @ young woman somewhere before, t I am probably mistaken.” “You've seen her portrait in some of the literary papers, perhaps,” suggest- | ed Maxfleld. “That’s Enid B.

What I'd Wke to know is whether or not you have the honor of Miss Merryweath- s acquaintance; if so, I want you present me.” { “Nothing easier, old man,” he re- jpiied promptly. , There are some persons one meets #0 whom an introduction seems almost muperfluous.

But one evening Enid said: “Do you know that I worried about you a great deal when you were ill last winter?” “Foolish girl!” I replied. never met me.” “And yet I seem always to have known you,” she murmured. “Enid,” I said presently, “there is something queer 1 want to tell you in connection with that illness of mine. It seems utterly unreasonable, but there are some things beyond our un- derstanding. “I had been dwelling for weeks in & strange, fantastic world, when one night I awoke calm and rational, and I gaw. beniling oyer me ong who seem- ed the very embodiment of my heart’s destre. 1 clased:my’eyés @ lq"?fl .second, doubting the reality 6f what I saw, and ‘when I opened them again the lovely vision had faded, “I can’t explain it, but it was you who came to me that night; and, more wonderful still, here is the proof!” 1 took from over my heart the handker chief which I had found resting lightly on the counterpane after the disappearance of my mysterious visl tor. “You had She took the handkerchief and ex- amined ft. “Yes, it 18 mine,” she sald presently. And then she added: “As a writer of romances you would perhaps prefer the story left as it is, but I feel bound to tell you just how this handkerchief came into your hands. “I don’t know,” she continued, “how or why you came to occupy so much of my thoughts, when I knew you only through your books, but nevertheless such was the case. “When last winter it was reported that your life was despaired of, I could not rest. Some of my friends guessed my secret and rallied me accordingly. I gave out that I intended visiting Los Angeles for a few weeks, but instead of doing so I went on by the southern route to New York. “I knew that the physician who con- ducted the sanitarium in which you brook had been an old friend of my and upon arriving in New told him that you were a very dear friend, but that for personal reasons I did not want you to know of my | presence in New York. There was no fear of that, however, as for a long time you knew no one. “At length one evening when I had called to incuire about you and had been admitted to your bedside as us- ual, you looked at me with rational eyes. To avoid discovery 1 fled from the room, and this handkerchief I sup- pose was dropped in my confusion. “Now, then,” she concluded, “does not that destroy all your pretty and mysterious romance?” But I think the answer I gave her nds who for a time had been 8epa~ | conyinced her that it did mot.

If the skin of the throat is loose and baggy, dip. the ‘tips of your fingers in alcohol, massage from the throat up- ward toward the chin, and then from the throat downward toward the chest. Do this two and a half min. utes, and the remaining two and s balf massage with a pure skin food along the same lines. You will findj|' that alcohol is absorbed rapidly, and that if the skin food is applied quick- 1y after, it, too, will sink quickly in.' When finished give the throat a few dashes of cold water and pat dry. (1 NPV, 4t you wish the best results do not put off starting this massage until you are badly in need of the treatment, for then five minutes will hardly suffice. Start right in now and make a five-minute massage a part of your daily tollet. Keep it up and in time you cannot help but notice a de- cided change in your gkin. Five min. utes may not seem worth while, but it will surely help to retain the beauty, you do possess, besides keeping in abeyance the many troublesome blem- tshes which affect the skin. b Wash Silk Petticoats. Wash sllk petticoats are a useful addition to any wardrobe, be it limited or not. They are made of somewhat heavy silk. Silk and cotton so-called tub silk, is almost as durable as heavy all-silk material and i{s more durable for petticoats, at least, than cheap all silk. The petticoats are made in striped pattern with scant bias flounces at the bottom. They can be worn with any light street costumes One of violet and white in narrow] stripes covld be worn with tan, green or violet outside skirts; one of tan and white would find many uees, and more decided colors would be useful to Yellow Invaders and Negroes- WIIt{’ Throw Dice for Spolls In: 1914, Sald Seer.
