An “ideal husband” is merely one who fs all the things a girl fancied men might be before she found out that they weren't, When a plain woman remarks reproachfulty “I never used a grain ot} make-up in my life’ the smile on the face of a pretty woman makes “the | smile on the face of the tiger” fade into a mere smirk, To go right on loving a man who continually insists on telling you the honest truth about yourself is the condensed milk of human kindness. A genuine optimist is one whose hopes and lips always turn up at the edges. If you want a man to love you forever don’t ask him to love you for more than a week. There is something in the masculine make-up that Don’t marry » man with a variegated “past” in the hope that remorse makes him hate to deal his heart out at wholesale, but he will cheerfully will insure him a spotless future.

FORD, the American multi-millionatre, had been a dig figure in English finance that year. He divided bis time between his London office and Meudon Hall, the enormous country place he bad rented, motoring back and forth. Late on the afternoon of Dec. 18 Ford left his oMces and came to Mevson Hall for a tew days He brought two of bis clerks along with him \t0.belp in (he transacting of some business connected with a mighty financial aeal, But soon after he ed the Hall he sent them hack to town. He dined ai eight that night and went to bed at eleven. At twelve an important telegram arrived. His secretary, Harbord, knew the militonaire would not want to wait until morning before receiving and answering it So he took the message to Ford's vedroom. The room was empty. Nor was Ford anywhere in the house, The closest search was made, Harbord enlisting the aid of Jackson, tt > missing man's valet and of al) the other hastily awakened servants. When Harbord led the hunt to the grounds a clue was struck. A light snow had fallen, And through the anow the tracks of Ford's big shoes were plainiy visible, The tracks led to the Park wall, then ceased Canned ADryptly, The man had apparently climbed the wail anit { Syearious dropped down into the road beyond. But thourh there ed themeclves | exp were many footprints in the snowy road, none had " Footprints. made by the big shoes whose tracks had ended so aoe son toriously at the wall. Harbord knew that his employer wan at the turning point of a tre- mendous business enterprise, and that under auch conditions he was not likely to stray voluntarily from home. So he sent for the police, Inspector Poace and his assistant, Phillips, were assigned to the case. Peace made many fmquiries, examined the premises, outside and in, and , then, with Phillips, went unnoticed to a small room off @ main corridor and mounted guard there. They watched until late at night. At last they heard stealthy steps in the corridor, They peeped out. No one was in sight. Then Peace pointed to the corridor floor, He had strewn white powder along the flooring just before he began his vigil. Footprints were faintly visible in this. Peace and bis assistant followed the marks, They led straight to a window twenty feet above ground, then ceased as abruptly as had those at the Park wall, The two policemen stood beside the window in the dark- ness and waited. Presently a glow of light appeared. A panel in the corridor wal) sid back. Jackson, Ford's valet. emerged through the opening. He was carry- ing a candle. Peace sprang upon him, overpowered and bound him. After which the policemen crawled through the secret panel. On its far side was a stairway. They descended thirty steps and found themselves in a hidden room, whéeh, like the pane! and staircase, was a relic of olden days, In the room lay Silas J, Ford, bound and gagged. The captive was re- leased and brought to his senses, Then the truth came out. Jackson was in the employ of one of Ford's chief business rivala, a man interésted in blocking the deal on which the American was working. This rival knew of the secret room at Meudon Hall, and so did Jackson. The valet had told Ford about the room just as the mifiionaire was ; preparing to go to bed on the night of Dec, 18. Ford had ordered Jackson Guanwnnnnnand to show him the room. Jackson had done so, As he The Secret and Ford reached the secret chamber the valet strack his employer senacless from behind, and then tied and Room. gagged him, After which he donned Ford's big boote, connemronmom? walked to the Park wall, changed the shoes for his own and came back to the Hall by another royte. But for Pence's cleverness the American millionaire must have re- mained a helpless prisoner in the secret room unt) his rival aucceeded in wrecking the big deal, .
