How Tex Rickard Won Repu- tation for ‘“Squareness” '** “While He Sawed Wood for a Stake in the Klondike Dur- ing the Gold Rush of 1898. ‘As square as they make ‘em'— that was the reputation Tex Rickard dad up in the Klondike in '98," said Bred N.

Copprtaht, 1921, by the Press Publishing Co. (ine New York Evening World.) HBSE are the days when women would like to throw prudence to the winds and embark on a tour of indulgent shopping, to ac- quire for their very own a reasonable share of all the alluring things dis- played. It but a serious temptation, please remember that an overstock is about as distressing as a low stock, for to make a wise cholce of avery article of apparel when dressing is not so easy as it seems when there ‘s #0 much to choose from. On the ‘other hand, *to complete a smart, well gotten-up appearance is easy when the various articles have heen carefully acquired with an eye to the harmoniousness of their ensembie. ‘This initial consideration saves one much potential concern, and needless remark, the woman who accom- plishes a few such outfits is to ne envied, while she who indulges now in heiter-skelter buying will have « problem on her hands every time she starts to dress, and the result is not likely to present a ‘finished’ look. Lingerie is something every woman is interested in at this time, for fresh summer clothes demand fresh and dainty foundations.

Poor girl, her heart was indeed full, Now it happened that early on that same morning Hugh Henfrey stepped from a train which had brought him from Aix-la-Chapelle to the Gare du Nord in Brussels. He hod spent three weeks with the Rev. umas in Genoa, whence he had travelled to Milan and Bale, and on into Belgium by way of Germany. s Of Lisette he had failed to elicit any further facts concerning his father’s death, though it waa ap- parent that she knew something bestia it—something she dared not tell. Before Hugh teft, Revecca had given him £80 in English notes, way- ing that he acted at Il Passero's or- ders, for Hugh would no doubt. the money, and it would be most dan- serous for him to write td his bankers. * At first Henfrey protested, but os bis funds were nearly exhausted he had accepted the money. As he left the station in Brussels on that bright spring morning he crossed the busy Place, and then, set out for the Central Post Office in the Place de la Monnate. He had not gone far along the busy boulevisd when he was startled to hear his name uttered from behind, and, turning, encountered a short, thick-set little man, wearing a brown overcoat. The man, noticing the effect. his words had upon him, smiled reassur- ingly, and said in broken English: It is all right! Iam not a pplice offi Monsieur Henfrey. Cross the road and walk down that street yon- der. I will follow in a few moméats, And then the man walked on, leav- ing Hugh alone. ‘ Much surprised, Hugh did as heway bid, and a few minutes later the Bel- gian met him again. “It is very dangerous for us be seen together,” he sald quiékly, carcely pausing as he walked. ¢"Do not go near the Post Office, bi straight to 1, Rue Beyaert, first floor.
