I abandoned it, “In any case,”” 1 reminded him, “she is in touch with Greyes, and he knows too much.” “Wonderful capacity for existence, that man,* Mr. Younghusband re- marked suavely.

He has imagi- nation.” 1 nodded. 1 was tracing figures upon the blotting-paper, debating with myself different methods of deal- ing with Norman Greyes. “Every channel which might lead to the firm of Younghusband, Nichol- son and Younghusband,” the lawyer continued meditatively, “‘seems, so far as human ingenuity could arranz?_h. permanently blocked, but a man with imagination who is not afraid to work on guesswork jis always to be feared.” “Tt will not be my fault,” T prom- ised, as 1 took my leave, “if you have any cause to fear Norman Greyes after the next month or so.” That night, in the language of those forgotten war communiques, everything happened according to plan. At a quarter to nine Metzger, who was writing alone in his sitting- room, heard soft knocking at the door which communicated with the adjoining suite. He rose promptly, locked the outside door of his own rooms, and softly withdrew the bolt of the door to the next suite. He stood there with an inviting smile upon his ugly face. Madam de Miguel laid a cautioning finger upon her somewhat overpainted lips as she stole over the threshold. “There is one hour that my husband will be away,” she whispered, gliding past him. “You may kiss me.” (Continued in Our Next Tssue) The ORIGINAL Malted Milk B for All Ages 19" Avoid Imitations—Substitates city, Besides making an effort to improve the homes and surroundings, the mu- nicipal authoritios have established dining rooms where breakfast is serv?® ed for 10 sen (five cents) and dinner and supper for 16 sen each, Technical schools also are being started where boys will be given free instruction in carpentry and other trade: TO RELIEVE POOR New York Doctor Advises Tokio Offi- clals on Subject Toklo, Mai 21.—Upon the adviee of Dr, C, A, Beard of New York who I8 here making .suggestions for im- proving Tokio, a' great step forward has been taken in ameliorating the living conditions of the poor of the Enjoy This Now Combat that film on teeth ’ Watch the new beauty come Go ask for this free test.
