As,in the obesity course, we shall start the developing course with the caslest exercises for beginners to limber up the unused muscles and accustom them to their new work without undue strain or fatigue. The Mlustratign to-day shows a simple mat exercise for developing and limbering up the lower trunk Muscles and those of the hips and thighs. Several of the thin contes tants need these lower body exercises badly, as their measurements will show, and they must bear in mind that increased physical activity is es- | sential to stimulate the blood supply| to the underfed muscles, increase the clreulation and create normal appe tite.

(Continued,) The Hallucination. EB were on our way uptown again to the gddress which Kennedy had secured from Mrs, MeNeill, and in a few moments we found our- selves at the ornate entrance to the large apartment building in which the Douglasses lived, Their apartment overlooked the park, and was richly furnished. We were ushered into a sort of brary, which was evidently the workshop of Sidney Douglass, a rising lawyer. Marian Douglass herself was @ charming woman of perhaps twenty- five, In @ closely clinging, tasteful house gown, Her large masses of dark hair and deep hagel eyes would have her a dashing woman anywhere. There was mugh of senti- ment in her face, though it was by no means lacking in inte! and under- a could see a restless, unfettered will, And yet it did not take long to fathom the fact that something was wrong, Her man- ner Was } Pyous, and there Was @ | pallor on her cheek that did not be- jong there. mad her glances one baths aust be indulged {n by thin women, but a tepld, nightly bath, about which I shall write later, should be taken. ‘These cleanse the skin and allow It to brea d also rest the nerves and induc f At least nine hours’ taken at night, and afternoon naps should be indulged in as often as convenient A short daily walk, but not to the point of fatigue or perspiration, with deep breathing practice, should be taken by the thin woman and she must hold the head and chest high and nake deep breathing a habit every hour of the day, Sleep in a cold room covered with light weight warm bed clothing.

Breakfast: Baked apple with cream, Kennedy put his questions artfully jand advoitly, so as to bring out as |imuch as possible without seeming to | inquire directly, | "Mrs. Douglass," he began deferen- | tlally,"We are from the psychology {department of the university, We |have heard a great deal about Prof, Alterego, and understand that youare | one of his students, We have an ap- | pointment with him to-night for a sitting which is being made by an- |other student.

A servant entered and excused her- self, One sharp glance that she shot in our direction was quite enough to convince us of the fact that the In- trusion had not been accidental, Both Kennedy and I agreed afterward that it looked very much as If Mra, Doug- lass's manner suddenly changed, If we had been not exactly welcome vis- tors before, It now appeared that she wished very much to end tho Intet- view before it had really begun. Kennedy wae not to be put off without one more question, however. “What is your own personal opinion of the phenomena?” he asked easily, “Are you convinced that at last a real psychical sctentist has appeared? “Oh, I could scarcely give an opin- fon—a scientific opinion,” she laughed nervously, “You'll help to vouch for us?” asked Kennedy, rising to go. “Oh, yea—as far as I can.” She had evidently intended to say more, but stopped as if an unseen hand had closed over her lips. “Not a happy homo exactly,” re- marked Kennedy, when he had gained the street, out of earshot of the ele- vator boy, she CHAPTER IV, The Still Hunt. bs HEN you are hunting for N a needle in a hay W it 1s a sctentifie pI Ho carry a magnet,” re- marked Kennedy as we haited at th roer, “The particular haystack just now seems to be Wall Street, and the magnet I am going to uae is « Wall Street Investigator of whom you have perhaps heard, He ig not a detective, but is well known on the Street The ollice to which Kennedy led no was on Broad Street, in the heart of the financial district. It was a curt- ous place-a sort of financial rogues’ gallery. Mr. George Daly, whose name was on the door, welcomed us cordially, Kennedy had evidently known bin for sume lime, bad beiped him, and been helped. While he was outlining What he wished to find out, I ocoupied my attention with the of- fice. It will be news to many people, no doybt, that there ts no one within the Craig Kennedy at His Best—Begin it To-Day radiug of half a mile of the Stock Exchange whom Daly, the investi- ®ator, does not know or cannot learn about at short notice. From the de- tection of men and boys who make it their business to defraud downtown brokers through such petty sehemes us the sale of ill gotten stock transfer stamps to the foiling of internitional plots involving millions of dollars, this investigator is nearly alwpys called upon to take @ part. “You see, Daly,” Kennedy was ox- plaining, “there is some one down here Who is running a shop where within the past year or so extensive invests ments have been «ade—and tnyart+ ably lost. Perhaps it is a plain bucket shop, perhaps it 1s a supposedly reputable broker, But through the hopper of this establishment have run the fortunes of Lotta Cameron—you recall reading of the case in the papers yesterday?—and Pennington Tyler, whom of course you nave heard of on account of his erratic doings and his sudden decline. Now the for- tune of Mrs. Marian Douglass ts believe, going to swell the stream, No one knows how many others have gone into it, but these are what I am most interested in Just at present, “More than that, among the cus tomers of this piace I should expect to find a long history of suicide, in- sanity and death, perhaps stretching back for some time. Now, | know that this is @ rather hazy commis- sion, but do you think of any place That would fit in with such # desorip~ ton?" Daly pondered the case for a few moments, half turning in bia chau and gazing out of the window, Once he asked Kennedy a question which I did not hear. At last he walked over to his files of information, @ veritable web for the snaring of fake financiers, This one room of Daly's office con tained his desk and two long steel fil- ing cabinets. There were 76,060 names represented in these cabinets, avery ajngie item in the place belng catalogued and numbered, and each single reference being 4 history, Both Daly and the cabinets had about them fa distinct atmosphere of secrets well kept, There were mining dela by the hundreds, in which the promoters were fotled in securing funds from banks solely on what Daly knew of You HAVE NEVER. ereh R NEW TORE CONE IN York Kraning (or 'S Good F RTEN YEARS Yer PLACE > [etait BS THAT'S AURIGHT.| ULLSEND YouR OLD MAT HOME.

Scores of cases there were where men had been forced to aban- don swindling schemes because hoe was on their trail, His web stretched its threads after all manher of auda- clous schemers, Daly pulled out a drawer and ae- lected an envelope, read the contents carefully, and, still holding it in his hand, walked over to a number of swinging plates of photographs, acores of them on one plate, and all looking suspiciously Nke Bertillon prints. jot on the trail of Jay Gordon,” remarked Daly, swinging one pla after another rapidly until he came to tho right one, At last he found what ho wanted, “There's his pleture, ‘Try him. 1 imagine bis case about fills the bill as you make ft out, If you don’t learn anything yourself about him, come back, and perhaps I can give you another clew.

It was that of an athletic, thickset man, rather hand- some, with close-cropped hair and a thick bull neck. “I should like very much to have a copy of this," said Kennedy. “Certainly, I'll bave one made im- mediately. Daly was still ecrutinizing the reo- ord of Jay Gordon which bad been contained in the envelope. “What !s this thing you have out- Mned, Keunedy?" he asked, “A sort of Russian League of Death, or a sutcide club? Of course, there is noth- ing of it here, I got the clue from your ot Pennington Tylor and # couple of things that are not generally known about him.

[ think if I were you I'd Just slip over quietly to his office and take a look at it, It's only acroms the street.” Kennedy glanced quickly at the reo- ords which had been filed under Jay Gordon's name, “By the way,” asked Kennedy cas- ually, fingering the pages, “do ppen to know a lawyer named Sid- y Douglass?” “Yes; but of course I have nothing on him. He's @ rising young fellow, 1 belleve, a hard worker, ambitious, and in with good people-—very con- servative,” “So 1 have understood,” said Kon- nedy, folding up the reports and hand- ing them back. “We may need to call on you again, Daly, Thank you very much, and I needn't say that any time [ean return the favor you know me well enough not to hesitate to ask, Let us visit this place, Walter, merely to get a line on tt." Jay Gordon's office was a typical brokerage establishment, For tho customers there were throe rooms, of which the principal one wus a “board room,” as lt is called, where several rows of chairs were placed in front of & board before which a couple of boys Were at work, One sat at a slock ticker and read off the changing quo tations, while the other, from a belt about his waist, pu cards bearing numbers and fractions, wh he placed in little comparunents on the board In response to the figures called forth trom the ticker. The board was nearly all Greek to me: mes of stocks wore abbreviated, and the Initiated could get anything ou of It. only Hack of this room was a smaller « room, in which, on shelves and a long table, were books and manuals of all sorts regarding finuncial matters, malning papers, market letters, all plausible and alluring, The third room open to the public was reserved for ladies, among wh Gordon & Co, had many patrons Gordon's own private office, which was at the aide of these three roems, communieated both with the custom- ers’ room and that reserved for Indies.
