STORY Janet Continues: At five minutes. to one, however, even this condition was amended.* A youth from the hall-porter's office put a package into my hand which had just been left by a messenger. 1 opened it and found' half a dozen fa- millar morocco cases. A portion of the jewelry, which I had never thought to see again, was in my hands. It was now clear to me that my husband had either already re- turned or was on the point of doing 80, and that my help was' needed. nevertheless three days went by with- out a sign or message from anybody, three days during which I lived after the fashion of a cat, curled- up in warmth and luxury, clinging to the feel of my clothes, reveling in the perfumes of my bath, eating good food and drinking wine with’slow but careful appreciation. 1 felt the life revive in me, the blood flow once more through my veins, During those three days nothing in this world would have driven me back to my poverty. T would have committed almost any crime rather than return to it. 0. On the fourth day I met Norman Greyes. I was leaving a hairdresser's in Curzon street when he rounded the corner of Clargo§ street, carrying a bag of golf-clubs and evidently look- ing for a taxicab, 1 was within a foot or twa of him before he recog- nized me, 1 was conscious of a keen and peculiar thrill of pleasure as I saw something flash into .his stern, impressive face. Enemies though we were, he was glad to see me. “Good morning, Sir Norman,” 1 said, holding out my hand. “Are there no more criminals left in the world; ‘that vou take holiday?" e smiled, and put his clubs through the open window of a taxi- cab which ‘had .just drawn up by the side of. the curb. 3 i K d‘ am tired of hunting criminals,” heficonfessed. “Besides, they are turning the tables. They are hunting me.” “Indeed?” 1 answered. “That scunds as though my husband were coming back.” “There are rumors of it,” he ad- mifted. “‘Ars you staving near here?” am living at the Albemarle Court,” T told him. “Why not have me watched? {f he does come back, T @m sure T am one of the first people he,would want to visit." “It is a wonderful idea.”” he agreed, wvith a peculiar gleam in his keen gray eyes. *T would rather bribe you, though, to give him up.” “How much?” I asked. treated me badly lately.” “Dine with me tonight,” he Sgested, “and we will discuss it.” “T ghall be charmed,” T assented boldly, YAt my rooms,"” “—Number Thirteen. o'clock ?"" ——————— A CHILDREN WHO ARE SICKLY | Mothers who' value the health of their chil. dren, should never be without MOTHER GRAY'’S SWEET PAWDERS FOR CHILDREN, for use when needed.

I asked. “‘Out of consideration for you,” he replied promptly., *‘You are probably more or less watched ,and your move- ments reported to the organization of which your husband is the chief, If you are seen dining alone with me in & public place, they may imagine that you have come over to the enemy.” “You are most thoughtful,” ¥ re- plied, with all the sarcasm in my tone which I could command, “I will come to your rooms, then," DI Y He nodded pleasantly, raised his cap and stepped Into the taxi-cab. 1 watched him a moment, hating him because he seemed the one person who had the power to ruffle me, He was dressed just as I like to see men dressed, in gray tweed, loose but well- fitting, He wore a soft collar, and the tie of a, famous cricket club.” His tweed cap’was set just at the right angle. He moved with the light ease of an athlete. I hated his shrewd, e s i “GOOD MORNING SIR NOR- MAN,” 1 SAID ,HOLDING OUT MY HAND. “ARE THERE NO MORE CRIMINALS LEFT?” kindly smile, the clearness of his bronzed complexion, the little humor- ous lines about his eyes. I went straight back to my rooms and wrote kim a few impressive lines. I wrote to say that I would dine with him at any restaurant he liked, but not lin Clarges street, and that he could call for me at eight o’clock. At half-past three that afternoon I received the invitation which I had been expecting, and at four o'clock I stepped out of a taxicab and entered the offices of a firm of solicitors sftuated in a quiet square near Lin- eoln’t Inn, An office boy rose up from behind a worm-eaten desk and invited me to seat myself on a hard wooden chair while he disappeared in gsearch of Mr. Younghusband, the principal partner in the firm. The office was decorated by rows of musty files, and a line of bills containing Jparticulars of property sales, the so- licitor in each case being the firm of Younghusband, Nicholson and Young- husband. After a few mirfutes’ delay, the boy summoned me and held open a door on the other side of the passage. “Mr. Younghusband will madain,” he announced. The door was closed behind me, and 1 shook hands with a tall, elderly man who rose to welcome me in gomewhat abstracted fashion. He was untidily but professionally dressed. He wore old-fashioned steel-rimmed spectacles, reposing at the present moment on his forehead. The shape of his collar and the fash- jon of his tie belonged to a bygone generation. There were rows of tin see you, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1923 Loxes extending to the celling, a Ii- brary of law-books, and his table was littered with papers. ) "*Mrs,~—~er—Morrison?”" he began, using the name by'which I had been known during the last few months, “That Is more or less my name,” 1 admitted, "I recelved a telephone message asking me to call this after- noon." [ “'Quite so, quite so,” he murmured a little vaguely,. *“Now let me see," he went on, looking among some pa- pers, “Your husband appears to have been a client of the firm for many years, but my memory-—oh, here we are," he broke bff, drawing a slip of paper toward him, “My in- structions, cabled from New York, were to hand you the sum of two hun- dred pounds, You recelved that amount, T believe?" “I recelved It and have spent the greater part of it,” I replied. rHlu expression became a little less benign, “Dear me!" he exclained, sounds rather extravagant." He scratched his upper lip thought- fully. “Your husband has, I gather, been engaged in operations in New York of a delicate nature. The world of finance has always its secrecies, He appears now, howaver, to have brought his operations to a close. You are aware, perhaps, that he has landed in England?" My heart gave a little jump, 1 could not tell whether the sensation I experienced had more in it of joy or of fear, “Is he safe?” I asked. “S8afe?”’ Mr. Younghusband repeat- ed a little vaguely. “Why not?" There was a moment's silence. 1 looked arqund at the shabby but im- posing coftents of the office, at the lawyer's mildly ‘puzzled expression. T drank in the whole atmosphere of the place, and T was dumb, Mr. Young- husband suddenly smiled, and tapped with his forefinger upon the ' table. He was like a man who has suddenly seen through a faulty phrase in some legal document. “I apprehend you,” he said. ‘For a moment T was not altogether able to ‘appreciate the significance of your question. New York is a curious place, and I understand—er—that the financial operations in which your husband has been ‘toncerned, although profitable, may have made him enemies. He traveled back to Eng- land, indeed, under an assumed name. Let me see—I have it somewhere,” he went on, fumbling once more among a mass of papers. “I had it in my hand only a few minutes ago. . : Here we are—Mr. Richard Peters. I am instructed to say, madam, that your husband would welcome a call from you.” #You have his address?” “Yes—his address,” he repeated. “Presisely! I have it here—Num- ber Eleven, Jackson street.” “Mayfair?” I inquired. “Mayfair,” he assented. “The ad- dress reminds me, madam,” he went on, “that you must be prepared to see your husband—er—not in the best of health. He is, in fact, in a nurs- ing home.” ‘Is he seriously il1?" I asked. “I believe not,” was the deliberate reply. “You will have an opportun- ity of judging for yourself within half an hour. I am to ask you to visit him as soon as you can find it con- venient.” I sat quite still. get these matters into my mind. The lawyer glanced at his watch and im- mediately struck the bell in front of “That him. “You will forgive me, madam,” he said, rising to his feet, “I have a meeting of the Law Society to at- tend. My compliments to your hus- band. Tell him to let me know if I can be of further service to him.” « e The boy was holding open the door. The lawyer, with a courteous cld-fashioned bow, evidently consider- ed the interview at an end. I went back to my taxicab, a little bewildered and drove at once to Jackson street. A nurse in starched linen frock and flowing cap consulted a little slate and led me to a bedroom in one of the upper stories. “Mr. Peters is getting on famously, madam,” she announced encour- agingly. “The doctor hopes to be able to let him out at the end of the DOINGS OF THE DUFFS GEE, THERE ARE A MILLION THINGS You CAN BLY AWELL, SAM, NOW THAT YU ARE.

Dentists the world over now advise it. Careful people of some 50 nations now employ it daily. Find-out what they know. That dingy film That viscous film you feel on teeth is their great enemy. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. Food stains, etc., discolor it, then it forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on film. That's why teeth lose luster.
