Millinery Styles, Dear Mrs, Dorr: ALLON walked ewiftly down the H avenue, with the excited words of Mr. Clair ringing in his ear. Lady Panwin had asked what motive her brother could have to murder the mflionaire—always presuming that he was guilty, which was not yet wholly proven—and the man himself had re- plied to the question, unknowingly. Ang Percy asked It now of himself: Would Mr. Clatr assassinate his best friend to obtain two thousand a year? It was impossible to obtain an answer. The young man now saw very plainly the reason for Lady Panwin's fears. If, as she insisted, there was insanity in the family, inherited through the Geor- ian great-grandfather, tt might be that the same had shown Itself in the present head.
