So determined are we to hue closely to the lines of our set policy of “an entirely new stock of hats every month,” we are willing to accept the enormous loss this sacrifice entails. Costs of shapes, costs of materials, costs of trimmings, costs of trimming—have all been forgotten in this great selling event. Our only thought is to “Clear Out for August Hats.” So great were last week’s values that many women bought several hats—many were mailed to friends, many hats were ordered by mail, and it was a source of the greatest satisfaction to be able to fill these orders with hats that corresponded in every detail with the models ordered.

An interval elapsed, then: “Could you put me thru to Chief Inspector Kerry?” “Chief Inspector duty.” “Oh, dear! sighed Mollie, “what a pity, Can you tell me where I Kerry i» off } | could find him?" Mollie wrote the following address in a dainty scented notebook which whe carried in her handbag: CHIEF INSPECTOR KERRY, 67 Spenser Road, Brixton. The appearance of the motor brougham, upholstered in cream. created some slight sensation in Spenrer ré@., 8. BE. A neat maid, evidently Scotch, ad- mitted the dazzling visitor to num ber 67, and Spenser rd. waited and wondered. Kerry, who had been at work un til close upon dawn, was sleeping, but Mra, Kerry received Mollie in a formal little drawing room. “Did ye with to see Chief In spector Kerry, parteecularly?” asked Mary, watching her visitor with calm, observant eyes. “Oh, most particularly! cried Mollie. “Of course I don't know what you must think of me for calling at such a preposterous hour, but there are some things that simply can’t walt.” “Aye.” murmured Mrs. Kerry. “Twill be yon Bond st, affair?” “Oh, yes, it is, Mrs. Kerry.” “My husband is resting the now. He was hard at work a’ the night doubt ye'll be wishin’ tae see hi privately?” “Oh, if you please. to disturb him.” Mary Kerry stood up. “If yell excuse me for a moment Il! awaken him,” she eaid. “Our household is sma’‘.” Mary Kerry withdrew, leaving Mollie alone. In less than ten min- utes the door opened an? Kerry came in. But his spotiersly neat attire would have survived inspec. tion by the most lynxeyerl martinet in the Brigade of Guards. “Very good of you to offer infor. mation, miss,” he said. “I'm willing to admit that I can do with it” He opened a bureau and took out a writing block and a fountain pen. Then he turned and stared hard at Mollie. “Might I ask you from whorf you heard that I wanted this infor- mation?” “Well—it's in the papers, isn't ier “It im, certainly. But it occurred to me that some one might have told you as well.” “Actaally, some one did: Miss Mar- garct Halley.” “Good! rapped Kerry. “Now we're coming to it She told you to come to me? “Oh, no? cried Moltie— didn't. She told me to tell her so that she could tell some one connected with the Home Office.” ch?" said Kerry; “eh? He bent forward, staring fiercely. “Please tell jme exactly what Miss Halley wanted to know.” “She wanted me to tell her where Mrs. Sin lived,” Mollie replied. Kerry experienced a quickening lof the pulse. In the faflure of the Cc. I. D, to trace the abode of the notorious Mrs. Sin he had suspect ed doubledealing. He counted it unbelievable that a figure so con. *spicuous in certain circles could evade official quest, even for 48 hours. K division's explanation, too, that there were no less than 80 jChinamen resident in and about Limehouse, whose names either be. |gan or ended with Sin, he looked upon as @ paltry evasion. That very morning he had awakened from a species of nightmare where in "719" had effected the arrest of Kazmah and Mrs, Sin and had rescued Mrs. Irvin from the clutches of the former. Now—here was hope. “719" would seem to be as hopelessly in the dark as everybody else. “You refused?” he rapped. “Of course I did, Inspector,” said Mollie, with a timid, tender glance. “I thought you were the proper per- son to tell.” ‘Then you know?" asked Kerry, unable to conceal his eagerness. “Yes.” sighed Mollie. “Unfor- tunately—I know. . Oh, Inspector, how can I explain it to you?” “Don't trouble, miss. Just give address and I'll ask no ques tions!” His keenness was fectious. Mollie replied excitedly: “Oh, inspector, I know you will think me simply an appalling per- son when I tell you, but I have been to Mrs, Sin'’s house—The House of a Hundred Raptures she calls it—" “Yes, yes! But—the address?” “However can I tell you the address, inspector? I haven't the very haziest idea of the name vf the horrible street! One drives along dreadful roads where there are stalls and Jews for quite an interminable time, and then over a sort of canal, and then round to the right all among ships and horrid Chinamen. Then, there Is a doorway in a lit- tle court, and Mrs, Sin’s hushand sits inside a smelly room with a positively ferocious raven, who shrieks about legs and policemen! Oh! can I ever forget it?” “One moment, miss, one mogent,” said Kerry, keeping an tron control vpon himself, “What is the name of Mrs, Sin's husband?” “Oh, let me think! TI can always remember it by recalling the croak of the raven.” She raised one hand to her brow, posing reflectively, and began to murmur: “sin Sin Ah * * ¢ * Sin Sin—oh! Sin Wal” “Good! rapped Kerry, and made a note on the block. “Sin Sin Wa, and he has a pet raven, you say, who talks?" “Who positively talks like some cried Mollie, “He IT am 80 sorry thrilling, n- *° Sin Sin Jar T have it!
