There ts no secret process to atiain them and no magic fountain of youth |s essential to keep the complexion pink and smooth. Pure, moving blood, made so through Intelligent eating and some forms of dally exercises and deep breathing, will clear the sallowness and un- healthy pallor from any face, regard- leas of age. Diminished elasticity of the arter- lea, slowing down of the circulation and heart action and lower digestive power all come with advanced age, Answers to Health and Beauty Questions. ,SUGGESTIVE DIET FOR RED C@RPUSCLES—MRS. H. Na All Waolesome foods, in right quantity, will enrich the blood. Exercises to help the digestive organs, copious ter drinking and tres alr breathe ing are also essential. SWEATING FEET-—MAUDE R: Poor circulation, anaemia, Jeather ghoes, too much standing, &c, may cause this. Bathe the feet in hot salt water and then cold water, rub with aloohol and then dust with talcum, wey eoda, equal parts, Wear dit ferent shoes and stockings each day aad air the feot whenever possible.

This clase| | of women so | to follow | and it t# therefore necessary for) women past middie life to encourage better blood ciroulation through dally practice of some mild exercises. | Less foods of all kinds ab eaten by elderly wowen, and the sup-| ply of food or fuel for the body should never exceed the demand the! system makes for {t. When too much | food is eaten the oversupply clogs| the system and the capacity for ac- “on is greatly diminished. Of course the entire organiem late in life is gradually slowed down, and, as the demands of the bodily func-| tfons become diminished more atten- tion must be paid to cleansing and restful neutral baths, fresh air, sun-| shine, proper foods, sensible clothing and environment. | Women past middle life should do| nothing to excess, and all strenuous and violent exercises and competi- tive games must be avoided. Simple stretching exercises bring all of the ‘runk muscles thto play without strain, and deep breathing and short walks in the fresh air are also bene- ficial and not fatiguing. Light outdoor work, such as dig- ging in the garden or simple stretch- ing with light, elastic exerciser, are valuable practices for elderly women, and they must make {t point to re- duce the amount of flesh foods and meat. and increase the supply of Sreens, vegetables, fruits, salads, &c., of low food value. —___.

COLD BATH AFTER EXERCI8- ING—MRS. JOHN R.: If you can stand the shock of the cold shower, a minute of it will st{mulate you and be beneficial, All persone cannot take cold baths, and for this reason one's age, physical condition, &o., should determine whether the cold bath will be beneficial or injurious, PERSPIRING HANDS -~NELLID : Ni es frequently cause: thom Over with aloohel Ingent and keep the hands dry, temporarily, Of course, internal treatment bet- cond ter ition Ip the ing eure ‘for this and other last- ry3 NLY by the merest chance I was not blown to atoms.” Morgan Hasleton, multimillionaire banker and promoter of scores of the largest enterprises in America, surveyed the wreck of a corner of his country home at Rockcrest, on the Hudson. His face was still blanched from the shook and his hands shook, although the explosion had ocourred several hours before. Kennedy and I had been hnstily summoned from New York, and had arrived at Rockcrest in one of the highest powered of the Hasleton motor cars, only to find the place al- ready prepared almos, as if it were in @ state of siege. The Hazleton estate stretched along the river and back over the beauti- fully wooded low rolling hills for some three thausand acres. Armed men were now patroliing it, and some private detectives from a near-by town were stationed at various points, Powerful dogs, mostly Great Danes, but including two or three blood- hounds, were kept in leash, I recall, 86 our car rolled up the wide, wind- ing driveway to the house, the apec- tacle of @ burly watchman pacing doge tugging at a leather thong, while the man glanced sharply into the bushes on either side of the road as be went. Ahead of him we came across two men with rifles who thrashed through the underbrush to avoid the possibil. ity of an ambush, ’ “It my den bed pot been bomb- proof,” Mr. Hazleton continued, “the whole house would have been de- molished.” “Bomb-proof?” queried Kennedy, looking up quickly at the novelty ot EE ese wt “Yes. m8 me age ge (ng i i i me r.

L have thought out some of my greatest un- dertaxings hero, at that bour.” He bad stopped at & hewvy door In thé siae of the stone corridor, As ho swung it open, instead of toe den, we saw & concrete terrace. “But to-night,” ho continued, “tor the tirat time in years, I suppose, after I had etarted down the steps from the library, | paused, opened this door, and looked out on the ter- race, 1 can't say that it was due to any premonition, But whatever it was that made me do it, 1 looked out. The moonlight on the river be- low there througa the clearing in the trees seemed go very attractive that I turned and a eee out, The min- utes prolonged themselves into half 4n hour, perhaps. “Just as I was about to go down the steps again, the earth seemed to rock under mo, 1 clutched at the balustrade, but a power, @ super- human po’ seemed to dash me down to the ground, The last I re- call was ¢ orash of shatterin; 1 about, as if a thousaat had broken at once—and ‘@ moving--the cries of servanta—and I staggered to my feet to_find—this.” He turned and went slowly down the rest of the fight of steps. “You had not been in the den at @ll then?’ asked Kennedy ae we fol- lowed. “No, and I know there could have been no one there at the time No one could get in, except myself, Any~ thing that I want Is left for me in @n ante-chamber which we are com- Ing to. That was really where the ex] ied took place.” No one was in the ante-room?’ asked Kennedy, | likely—hardly necessary,” he replied, “Why? stopping. “I shall put all that, everything, at your disposal,” he said. “I have al- ready questioned the servants, Ho far the only thing I have learned is that during the afternoon a package containing @ book was delivered here it waa pted b my map Armand, and had been ‘ett down here on a table by the door of the den,” “Accepted? Accepted from whom?” “Armand tells me it was left by & woman, @ young woman in red.’ Mr, Hazleton was evidently eager to get torough with his part in the story and turn Kennedy loose witb carte blanche to Investigate. he continued through the unuerground cee in the big house which ed under the open courtyard, down @ Aignt of steps, and under the rim of the terrace in front of the hous for for @ short distance to a point where we descended three steps. At the head of these three steps was & great eteel and iron door, studded with hervy bolts and bouring a com~- bil nm lock of a charactor ordinar- ily found only on a safe in a bankivg inatitution. When tbis door was opened we de- ecended the slaps, proceeded a little further in the samo direction away from the aide of the house, and then turned at rigot angi¢s facing toward the back of tne house, but well to one side of it, and underneath the open courtyard, I may say that | am in- debted to Kennedy for the details. He always made a practice of count- 8 or paces when entering @ Place, and often it stood bim stead, A few more ai fair-sized vaul room, It was such a wreck as I have rarely seen. The terrific force of the explosion seemed to have literally torn asunder steel beams as if toey had been paper, shattered concrete as if it had veen dust, and splintered the furniture beyond identification. In the wall was another steel door which led to the den itself, either @ purely precautionary refuge to be used In emergency, or ao retreat where Hazleton could work or study undisturbed. The door had been twisted off ita hinges, and through it we could catch @ giimpse of the den itself, 4 topsy-turvy chaos of overturned and broken furniture, scattered books and papers, a wreck second only to the complete ruin in thé ante-room. A light step behind caused me t& start with an excl: It Only one of the servants, but the a!

"That’ at I have sent r Kennedy to find out,” CHAPTER I. ORGAN HAZLETON, funier, was of an entirely different type from his father. He was tall, epare, and polfshed, with the alr of one who approached the struggle for existence with quite @ different attitude from that which the older man had ingrained in bis nature, Yet there was sométhing most Ikable about Morgan. There was a sincerity about hin that was quite refreshing im the second gener- ation of great wealth, which #o often divides ta time between sport and etandal, I already knew that as bead worker of the new Extension Settle- ment on the east side of New York he was deeply immersed in tho study ot many of the problems of society of which his father had taken ad- vantage in building up his colossal fortune; Indeed, had shaped in doing “.

I never saw a man who acted so quickly and knew how two act, too, to equal the gov- ernor, Armand tells me they hadn't more than piel him up before he was orderti them about, telling them just wi to deo—thinking of everything from stopping a panto among the servants to quieting tho Stock Exchange in the morning.

He bad been here lung enough to have most of his delusions about America rudely shattered, Just ao- other one of those who come here to make @ fortune and then find that they don’t even know our language— let alone the language of success.

"The only variety of book agent who would appeal to you," remarked Kennedy, not ungractously. Armand smiled. 1t waa evident that whatever he thought of the profes: sion he did not dislike tho sex “Can you recall just bow looked?” pursued Craig. "Ah," he exclaimet, sho “ghe was & jady—such @ beautiful manner, and a figure which the gown—it wag A wart red—abowed with euch atyle"—— “Yea, yes," interrupted Kennedy. “But her face, Can you remember her face?” Armand threw up his hands, “She wore @ heavy veil, monsieur, also of ed.
