(Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) It was in a third rate city of Austra- lia that I had found myself after wast- ing three years and a small inheri- tance prospecting, speculating and trading. I had studied medicine and when I found myself with only a few hundreds of my former thousands left, 1 bought out an obscure pharmacy in Balleran. One chill October evening I sat in my little office back of the store apart. ment when I heard the front door open sharply and close as abruptly. A velled woman, young I could guess from the Tare grace of her movements, brushed hastily past the counter. “Listen and act quick,” she directed. “There is your fee.” 1 stared hard. My strange client had placed a hundred dollar bill on the table. “I wish you to procure and bring to me in a saucer or some hollow dish,” went on the young woman, “some corrosive fluid that will—will remove a blemish from the skin.” “There are a number of such acids,” I maid. “Bring me the strongest, the surest,” she said, and I arose, went out into the pharmacy and returned with a saucer one-half“filled with the dead- lest abrasive chemical I had in my stock. “It I place a finger in that, it will do—what?” “If briefly,” I answered, “it will re- move the outer cuticle.” “Leaving no discolorations?” “None.” “And the pain?™ “Is inconsequential.” 1 started forward, for just then, com- : pressing her lips sturdily, she placed the tips of her fingers first of one hand and then of the other flat deep into the acid. She held them up be- fore her for inspection. The strange act accomplished, her hands, which had been delicately white before, were white still, but my professional eye traced the unnatural smoothness on thumb and fingers where the corrod- ing fluid had removed the heavy outer cuticle, as where one would peel a plum or a pear. There was an expression of satis- faction, of puzzling triumph in the face of my handsome client. She drew a pair of gloves from the pocket of her dress. She fixed her eyes steadily upon me, “l can trust .you to forget this circumstance,” she spoke. “Yes, I see the gentleman in your face. There is further to do. Fill a bottle with some harmless liquid and follow me to the door. When it is open warn me to be very cautious in using it. The fee will be doubled if you help me to act out my part successfully.” Blindly, I know not why, I followed 1 went to the door I voiced the warning she had directed. Distinctly I was aware that she meant the words for the hearing of two men lurking in the 1 “Save Te n Dollars” By having your Fall Clothes made to your Measure by us INDIVIDUAL Suits or Overcoats No More A, No Less Soft Hats and Derbies Large variety of Shapes and Shad- ings, Trimmed with Contrast Bands — the Season’s latest Conceptions $5 Styles $3 Quality ENGLISH WOOLEN MILLS Hatters and Tailors * Futch & Gentry Bldg, LAKELAND, FLA %4 R.

She fell, or rather pretended to fall flat upon the pavement. The bottle cracked to splinters. Wringing her hands as she regained her feet, she ran towards me crying distractedly. “Oh, my hands! my hands!—I have ! burned all the flesh off my fingers!” I read her purpose. I made a great ado of escorting her back into the pharmacy, of examining her hands, of treating them with curatives. Then she went away for the second time. At the end of two weeks there came to me a letter enclosing a second one hundred dollar bill, . It was pinned to a sheet of paper bearing the words: “As a gentleman and a true friend al- ways—silence.” I hesitated about using the money, but bad business necessitated it. A ' ‘ perpetrated, Had accidentally upset | a bottle of ink and left the impress of her hands on a mantel. She had seen in that room the step- son of her mistress, but knew he was, innocent. Her evidence might have convicted him. Her mistress gave) her a large sum of money and bade | her fly. The two lurkers I had seen had fol- lowed her across the ocean to verify | the photograph of the finger marks. ! I had helped her to baffle them. MADE A “HEROIC” RESCUE Owner of “Cute” Little Poodle Saves Canine by a Quick Jerk ' of Chain. A large woman, trailing a little white poodle dog at the end of a long chain, crossed Pennsylvania street at business rival took away half of my , Washington street in ome of the trade. Then I had a fire—uninsured. 1 Tushes at noon time. A large dog, went from bad to worse and the sher- | cOming from the opposite direction, it sold out my few poor property ef-, fects. I wandered away from the city along . a country road. I must have fainted | from illness and hunger in its center. | Then I was conscious of being lifted into an automobile. When I came back to myself again I occupied a bed in a cozily furnished room. Outside there was bird 80Dg. | The clear sweet scented air suggested some sumptuous garden. Then my client of that eventful evening in the past entered the room. She it was who had found me in the road and I was her uest at a beautiful villa many leagues from city proximity. She was nurse, sister, friend—ah, within my heart of hearts far more than that before that delightful week ended! ‘ stopped on the car tracks to pay his compliments to the little poodle. The poodle stopped also, but his mistress walked serenmely on. A motorman, who had been patiently walting for the crowds to pass, refused to delay his car longer while the two dogs stood on the rightof-way wagging thefr tails in their friendly greetings. Several women who saw the car bearing down on the “cute” little poo- dle, let out shrieks. that attracted the attention of the owner. She real ised the danger her poodle was eon- fronting, but she did not lose her head. With one mighty sweep of her hand, she tightened up on the chain and swung her poodle into the air and out of the path of the oncoming car. And the women who shrieked when they thought the poodle was go- ing to be killed, let the expression of She had been companion to & wealthy | horror on thelr faces turn into smiles woman in a far distant country. |of admiration for the woman Wwho In that household a terrible murder didn't lose her head and who made 8 had been committed.
