ewes + e All Men Alike?” AUTHOR OF STHE PRAIRIE WIFES"THE HOUSE OF thur Sirinoeer. THE WAFFLE IRON'S JAWS DRAW CLOSER INCE thinness of skin seems to stand an immediate though unhappy corollary to Liueness of blood, Theodora Lydia Lorillard Hayden, being an aristocrat, even if one under protest, found herself without that indurated armor which protects her humbler fellow-beings from the buffets and shocks of fate So her spirit still winced at the thought of what she had passed through. Her body still alternat flushed with indignation and chile: with a tangle of fears. Something she knew, was bound to happen Yet what this was she had neither the power nor the inclination to fathom. She merely waited, sure only of the recurring waves of desolation which beat upon her soul, She even struggled to escape from this denud ing loneliness, the next morning, by trying to lose herself in her work, But 80 small and trival did that work now stand to her that it seemed like try- ing to bury her bruised and burning body in a bird-bath Yet by both temperament and habit she was aver! to passivity he hated ‘the thought of sitting back in vague but enveloping apprehension of the unknown. She reached a point, in fact, where she would have been will- ing to see the blue deliver {ts bolt. where she would have welcomed, the sheer relief df action, the end of that deluding interregnum of silence She started nervously, none the less, when her telephone bell broke the siJence, an hour later, for that shrill of sound suddenly translated tt self into something as ominous as the starting-gong of undefined combat She even hestitated, for a moment, as to whether or not she would answer that call But besides being tired and indecision, she Was a person of habitual promptitude in movement, So temperament in the end asserted itself. With a deep breath, she took the receiver from its hook and an- swered the call “This is William Shotwell, the senior member of the firm of Shotwell, Attridge & Bannister, speaking,” a suave and dignified voice announced over the wire. “And I've been won- dering, Miss Hayden, if it would be convenient for you to drop down to my office some time this afternoon for a short conference ?'* “And what would be the object of that conference?"' inquired Teddie as coolly as she was able. “That, I'm afraid, is a matter it would be inexpedient to discuss over the telephone,"’ was the none too tranquillizing response. ‘‘But I might mention that the client whose inter- ests I am compelled to look after in this case is Mr. Raoul Uhlan, the well-known portrait painter.’’ A cold chill crept slowly up through Teddie's body. “I really don’t think it would be possible for me to come down to your office,’ she said in an exceptionully controlled voice. She was going to add: ‘Either this afternoon or any other afternoon,” but instinct told her to suppress the impulse. “In that case," continued the sauve voice, ‘perhaps it would be advisable for me to run up to see you, so that there may be no undue loss of time.” Teddie wavered, for all too recent events had been combining to test the metal of her emancipation, Yet dis- turbed as she may have been, she was not without still undrained res®rvoirs of allence of courage, “Yes, that might be bette: she finally admitted. “I shall be up within an hour,"’ was the crisp ultimatum with which the brief colloquy was concluded. And Teddie, reverting to her pre- tense of working, felt more than ever alone in the world. Life seemed emp- tier than on that black day when the butler, acting under orders from above-stairs, had drowned her mongrel pup for merely eating the tapestry off a library Chesterfield. And her new environment, as she stared about the high-ceilinged studio, seemed to stand as bald as that denuded Chesterfield had stood, as destitute of padded graces and re- lieving softness, an empty and ugly skeleton, a thing of obtruding bones quite barren of comfort It accordingly gelieved Teddie not a little, when Mr. William Shotwoll arrived, to find him quite urbane und fatherly, although he did seem to survey her somewhat bald-looking studio with a momentary frown of perplexity. Then, removing his pince-nez, he was at pains to remind her that he had met that estimable lady, her mother, during his activites as an officer of the Co-operative Social det- tement Society and had dined with Screening By DON ALLEN” DANGER.

Her éarliest recollections were of the convent in America in which she had been brought up. The sisters would only tell her that a foreign- looking stranger had brought her there as a baby and that her parentage was. very distinguished Indeed Rudolf had been mentioned and fhen one day the Mother Su- perior put her arm around her and whispered that her mother had been very unhappy, that the whole thing was very tragic and, again, that she must not ask too many questions From this she inferred the rest—that she was the daughter of Marie Vet- sera born some time before the trag- edy. “Tt am sorry to interrupt you,'’ I said, ‘but Marie Vetsera never had a daughter. The whole of her history is well known." Her eyes filled with tears and she replied that she could only what she had been told She then asked for advice as to how she should manage about her boy, then a child of about six. As far as I could gather, she had for some time been living on her capital, which must in due course come to an end It transpired in the course of the interview that she could speak French and Poflsh fairly fluently, and this may have accounted for the pecul- larity of her accent. She had been taught these languages, she said, in the convent, She would not give the name of the convent, and therefore all this part of the story may have been jnvented, like the rest; but it was clear from inquiries that were subsequently made that by nationality she was American and that she was certainly not engaged in espionage CHOSE THE WRONG FATHER. But the most amazing of all the claimants was a certain soj-disant Princess of a royal house who had succeeded in convincing a very large number of people that she was gen- wine. She was not in need of funds nor had she any object in view ex- cept to gain the prestige which a royal parentage would confer upon her. It was therefore a quite harm- less amusement and she must have got a great deal of fun out vf it She had worked out the details of her claim with remarkable skill. Her mother was still living, as well as her two brothers and a sister, It was impossible to ignore them alto- gether, and so she fold a story of how she had been confided to the care of her own mother by an imperial lady who, for some unexplained rea- son, wished to keep her birth a secret. I commend this kind of story to any future claimant of royal parentage, KEPT DIGNITY IN LOW CHAIR. There sailed into my room one morning the most {mperial-looking person I haye ever seen. Even when sitting in my low arm chair there was a calm and condescending dignity about her that would have impressed anybody. She had a husband who was on the way to make a fortune and who was in attendance to con- firm everything she said, and no one was ever more ready than she to help me over any difficult points, only I must tell her what they were. My first point was that her reputed mother did not and could not have had a child at the particular date when she said she was born. She smiled rather pityingly and said that no doubt I was not aware that her mother had spent some months alone at a watering place in France at that time and that it was evident that I did not know how eccen- tric she was. As a matter of fact I did, but I also knew a good deal about the movements of the imperial lady immediately after the suppgsed birth, and they did not at all tally with my visitor's story. Prince tell me A few days later I discovered her a composer of considerable brother, ability and a very striking-looking man with a strong family likeness to his sister, He was in a state of great indignation against her, chiefly, I think, on account of the disparage- ment of his mother which was en- tailed by her story armed with most convincing docu- ments—family photographs from the times when they were all children to- gether, letters written by the his mother in Switzerland. Among the letters was one writ- ten when the claimant was a girl of seventeen. She and her sister were at a wateriag-p and she retails. with satisfaction, a remark she over- heard about them, that they “Kaiserlich madchen."’ were HAD MANNERS OF ROYALTY. This chance remark, overheard in a probably put the entire {dea In appearance she to the finger-tips and it must have been balm to her soul to extend them to be kissed and hotel, into her head, was ‘'Kaiserlich’’ to see the world cffftsey to her. She was the daughter of a Jewish in a good posfjion. had been well-educated and bank She manager in which Prince Rudolf of Austria met his death, and of course I need hardly say that Prince Rudolf was her father.

Having satisfied myself that, what- ever else the lady might be, she was’ not dangerous to the cause of the Al- lies, I dropped the case, thinking that if any exposure became necessary the brother would bring it about, but one day, to my great surprise, a friend who has a profound knowledge of Austria told me that he was satisfied that she was genuine and thought it If: ee your skin itches} ty th had be b PF a a great pity that she had\been sub- d burns. ated jected to the indignity, of interroga- an . ust nvaso tion, I made him a@ sporting offer. e I said that the lady was probably ex- pecting another interview, that I had documentary proofs in my possession, and that if he liked I would invite her to see me again in his presence. He agreed and asked only that he might bring with him a personage who has since become very, prominent in Eu- rope. The interview took place. sailed in as imperially as before. My companions were presented to her and she acknowledged their bows with the slightest nod “sit down, madam. Since I saw you last some very interesting doou- ments have reached me and I want to put them to you, The first are some family photographs."’ I thought she flushed slightly “Oh, I can see what has happened, You have been in communication with Mr. K——, who claims to be my brother. Poor man, it has become an obsession with him.’* ROYAL AGAIN AFTER THE WAR. 1 do not think that she was pre- pared for the family photographs, for at first she would not admit that the girl of fourteen in one of the groups was herself. A little later she seemed to think that this was a false move for sh said, ‘I suppose that is my photograph, but you see at t we should have been photographed to- gether because I had be signed to the care of Madame For a time [ think she dropped her royal pretensions, At any ra dropped the idea of writing a book, which as said to be nearly ready for publication. But after the war, though she made no public claim, she ugain blossomed forth as an un- acknowledged royalty and there the case remains. Another case of impersonation was that of the man who called himself Count de Borch. He was a Polish Jew, well-educated and well-dr and he seems to have had a curious fascination for persons with whom he came in contact. Any mysterious Pole was at that time an object of suspicion, This man had obtained employment carrying a small weekly wage with a firm of furniture dealers in London, and yet he was able t) cut a dash at London tea-tables and expensive restaurants, He had a large circle of hostesses from whom he would have been in a position to acquire a good deal of in- formation useful to the enemy if he had tried to do so. He was brought down to Scotland Yard some weeks before the tragedy which brought his name before the public. The title of “de Borch" was old and highly es- teemed in Poland and I had been as- sured that, whatever this man might be, he was certainly not in any way connected with the family. He made a bad impression upon me. He fell back upon the usual ruse of bogus claimants, He said that he knew nothing about his ancestry except what he had been told, that there had always been a mystery about his parentage because, owing to family differences, his father was anxious that his existence should be|* kept secret until the day when he could come into his own, and so he had been supporting himself honor- ably with a firm in London until Po- land was free. It was like a great many other cases at that time, Until some evi- dence was forthcoming that a man was engaged in espionage, he had to be left at liberty under surveillance. He was believed to be drawing sims of money from some of his hostesses The lady If you are suffering from eczem ringworm or similar itching, bu’ ing, unsightly skin affection, bathe the sore places with Resinol Soap 4 and hot water, then gently apply { a little Resinol Ointment.
