Va., famous as the residence of Herman Hlennerliassett, a wealthy Irishman. The island was purchased by him in 1798, and a spacious man sion was erected on it. In 1805 lie was visited by Aaron Burr and induced to assist ldm in Ids treasonable scheme of founding an empire in the West. Blennerliassctt was arrested as one of Burr’s accomplices, but was finally discharged without trial. His house and grounds were mined by a mob. The remainder of his life was spent in an unavailing attempt to retrieve his fortunes. Kansas City Star. Unparliamentary Ills Wife—What do you think of that oriental dance?

M, Ualdsa, MW She Ragged Edge by Harold MacGrath CHAPTER XIX Meanwhile the doctor, upon returning to his office, found Ah Cum in the waiting room. “Why, hello, Ah Cum! What’s the trouble?” Ah Cum took his hands from his sleeves. “I should like to know where Mr. Spurlock has gone-” “Did he owe you money?” “Oh, no!”* “Then why do you wish to know ?” Ah Gmn pondered. I have a client who is very much inter ested in Mr. Spurlock. lie was here shortly after the young man was taken ill.” “Ah. What was this man?” “A detective from the States.” “Why didn’t he arrest Mr. Spurlock then?” “I imagine that Mr. O’Hig gins is rather a kindly man- lie couldn’t have taken Mr. Spur lock back to IIong-Kong with him, so he considered it would he needless to give an addition al shock. He asked me to watch Mr. Spurlock’s movemcts and report progress. lie admitted it would bore him to dally her1; in Canton, with the pleasures of IIong-Kong >o close.” The doctor caught the irony, and he wanned a little. “I’m afraid I must decline to toll you. Do you know what Spurlock has done?” “Mr. O’Higgins did not con fide in me- lint he told me this much that nj matter, how far Mr. Spurlock went, it would not be far enough.” A detective. The doctor pac ed the room half a dozen times. How easily an evil thought could penetrate a normally deeent mind! All he had to do was to disclose Spurlock’s destination, and in a few tuonths Ruth would be free. Frtr it was but logical that she would seek a divorce on the ground that she had un knowingly married a fugitive from justice. MeCliutock would be on hand to tell Her how and where to obtain this freedom, lie stopped abruptly before the ap paretnly incurious Chinaman “Your detective has been re miss in his duty; let him suffer for it.” “Personally, I am neutral,” said All Cum. “ I wish merely to come out of this bargain hon ourably- It would make the young wife unhappy.” “Very.” “There was a yacht in the river?” “I have nothing to say.” “By the name of The Ti gress ?' ’ The doctor smiled, but shook his head. He sent a speculative glance at the immobile yellow face. Was Ah Cum offering him an oportunitv to warn Spur lock? But should he warn the boy? Why not lot him imagine himself secure? The thunderbolt would be launched soon enough. “I haven’t a word to say, All Cum, not a word.” “Then I wish you good night.” All uuii worn aireeuy 10 un* telegraph office, and his mes sage was devoted particularly to a description of The Tigress Spurlock had been taken aboard that yacht with the Kanaka crow, because The Tigress was the only ship marked for de parture that night. Ah Cum was not a sailor, but be knew liis water-front. One cf bis chair coolies had witnessed the trans portation of Spurlock by stretcher to the sampan in the canal. There were three other ships at anchor;* but as two would be making Shangai and one rounding to Singapore two days hence, it was logically cer tain that no fugitive would seek haven in one of these. But whither The Tigress was bound or who the owner was lay beyond tli.e reach of Ah Gum's deductions. He did not particu larly care. It was enough that Spurlock had been taken aboard The Tigress. He wisely refrained from questioning th' manager of the Victoria. He feared to an tagonize that distinguished per son- The Viet ria was Ah C urn’s J broad and butter. The telegram dispatched, his obligation cancelled, Ah Cum proceeded homeward, chuckling occasionally. The Yale snirit! James Boyle O’Higgins was, as the saying goes, somewhat ont of luck. Ah Cam’s wire reached the HongKong Hotel promptly enough; biit O’Higins was on board a United States cruiser, witnessing a bout between a British sailor and a sergeant in the U. S. Marines. It was a Capital diversion; and as usual the Leatherneck bested the Britisher, in seven rounds. O’ Higgins returned to town and made a night of it, nothing very wild, nothing very desperate- A modest drinking bout which had its windup in a fan-tan huose over in Kowloon, where O’Hig gins tussled with varying for tune until five in the morning. When he was given the tele gram he flew to the Praya, en gaged the fast motor-boat he had previously bespoken against the need, and started for the Macao Passage, with the vague hope of speaking The Tigress, lie hung round those broad waters from noon until three and realized that he had embarked upon a wild-goose chase. Sfill, his conscience was partly satis fied- He made IIong-Kong at dusk: wet, hungry, and a bit groggy for the want of sleep; but lie was in no wise discourag ed. The girl was in the game now, and that narrowed the cir cle. The following morning found him in the doctor’s waiting room, a black cigar turning un lighted in his teeth. When the doctor came in—he had just finished his breakfast—O’Hig gins rose and presented his card. Upon reading the name, the doc tor’s eyebrows went up. “I rather fancy, as you Britishers say, that you know tlie nature of my visit?” “I’m an American.” “Fine!” said 0’Higgins, jovi ally. “Wo won’t have any trouble understanding each other; same language. There’s nothing on the card to indicate it, but I’m a detective.” O’Higgins threw out bis chest, gave it a pat, and smiled- This smile warned the doctor not to under-estimate the man. O’Hig gins was all that, the doctor had imagined a detecteive to be: a bulky policeman in civilian clothes. The blue jowl, the fat lidded eyes—now merry, now alert, now tungsten bard—the bullet head, the pudgy fingers and the square-toed shoes were all in conformation with the doc tor’s olden mental picture. “Yes; I know I look it,” said 0’Higgins, amiably. The doctor laughed. But ho sobered instantly as lie recollect ed that O ’Higgins had found Spurlock once. Journeying blind ly half way across the world, this man had found his quarry. “I never wear false whiskers,” went on 0’Higgins. “The only disguise I ever put on is a dress suit, and I look as natural as a pig at a Mahomedan dinner.” O’Higgins was disarming the doctor. “'"on’t you sit down?” “I beg your pardon! Como into the consultation office”; and the doctor le i the way. ‘What is it you want of me?” “All you know about this young fellow Spurlock.” “Wlmt has he done?” “He has just naturally peeved his Uncle Sam. Now, you know where he is bound.” “Did Ah Cum advise you?” “ Ho did pretty well for a Chinaman. But that’s his Ameri can education. Now, it won't do :l hit of good to warn Spurlock, lie carries with him something that will mark him anywhere the girl- Say, that girl fooled me at first glance. You see, we guys bump up against so much of the seamy side that we look '’pen everybody as guilty until proved innocent, \»hich is hind ide-to. The second look told me l was wrong.” “Urn going to put one ques tion,” interrupted the doctor. “Was there any other woman back there in the States?” “Nary a female. Oh, they are married fast. What are you go ing to tell met” “Nothing.” But the doctor softened the refusal by smiling. “For the sake of the girl. Well, I don’t blame you on that ground. If the boy was legging it alone “I’m a doctor. I took him out of the hands of death. Unless he has killed someone. I sha’n’t utter a word.” * “Killed someone?” O’Higgins laughed. “He wouldn’t hurt a rabbit.” “You won’t tell me what he has done?” “If you’ll tell me where he’s heading.” “You can give me a little of his history, can’t you? Some thing about his people?” “Oh, his folks were all right. Ilis father and mother are gone now. Rich folks, once- The boy had all kinds of opportunity; but it’s the old story of father mak ing it too easy. It’s always hard work for a rich man’s son to stand alone. Then you won’t tell me where he’s going?” “I will tell you six months from now.” Prolonging the misery. Un less he deserts the girl, he won’t he so hard to find as formerly. You see, it’s like this. The boss says to me: ‘Higg, here’s a guy we want back. He’s down in Patagonia somewhere.’ So I go to Patagonia- I know South America and Canada like the lines in my hand. This is my fivst venture over here. The point is, I know all the tricks in finding a man. Sure, I lose one occa sionally—if he stays, in New York. But if he starts a long jog, his name is Dennis. You may not know it, but it’s easier to find a guy that’s gone far than it is when he lays dogo in little old New York.” “You had Spurlock once.” O'Higgins grinned. “Women are always balling up and mud dling clean cases. If this girl hadn’t busted into the game, Spurlock would still be at the hotel.” The doctor was forced to ad mit the troth of-this- Ruth out of the picture, he wouldn’t have concerned himself so eagerly in regard to Spurlock’s departure. “I’m sorry, Mr. O’Higgins, but I decline to give you the least information.” The detective ruefully inspect ed the scarlet.band on his per fect o. “And I’ll bet a doughnut that boy in his soul is crazy to , have it over with Well-born, well-educated; those arc the lads that pay in 'full.” “You’re a philosopher, too. I’ll tell you something. One of the reasons why I decline to talk is this: that boy’s punishment will be enough.” “That’s not my game. They order me to get my man, and I get him. There ends my duty What they do with him after ward is off my ticket, no con cern of James Bojle; they can lock him up or let him go. Sav how about this Ah Cum; is he honest f ” “As the day is long.” “Didn’t know but what I’d been out-bid. I offered him a hundred to watch Spurlock. Fifty in advance. This morning I met him at the dock, and he wouldn’t take the other fifty. A cpieer nut- Imagine any one on this side refusing fifty bucks! Well, I’ll be toddling along. Don’t feel fussed upon my ac count. I get vour side all right. H’m!” Over the desk, on the wall, was a map of the South Pacific archipelagoes, embossed by a number of little circles drawn in red ink. O’Higgins eyed it thoughtfully. “That’s your hunting ground,” said the doctor. “It’s & whale of a place. Ten thousand islands, and each one good for a night’s rest. Why, that boy could hide for thirty years—without the girl. She’s my meal-ticket. What are those little- red circles?” 0’Higgins asked, rising and inspecting the map. A film of dust lay upon it; the ink marks were ancient. For a moment O Higgins had hoped that the ink applications would he recent. “Been to those places?” “No. Years ago I marked out an intinerary for myself; but the trip never materialized. Too busy.” “That’s the way it goes. Well, I’ll take myself off. But if I were you, I shouldn’t warn Spurlock. Let him have his honeymoon- So long.” For a long time after 0’Hig gins had gone the doctor rocked in his swivel chair, his glance di rected at the map. In all his life he had never realized a dream; but the thought had never be fore huvt him. The Dawn Pearl. It did not seem quite fair. IIo had plugged along, if not Ivppy, at least with sound philosophy. And then this girl had to sweep into and out of his lifel He re called McClintock’s comment about Spurlock being the kind that fell soft.

In one of the little red circles the doctor had traced that abbreviation. That could signify nothing except that the doctor had a friend down there somewhere, on an island in one of those archipelagoes But the sheer immensity of the tract! James Boyle was certainly up against it, hard. One chance in a thousand, and that Avould be the girl. She wouldn’t be able to pass by anywhere without folks turning their heads. ur course he hadn t played the game wisely. But what the deuce! He was human; he was a machine only when on the hunt. He had found Spurlock. In his condition the boy ap parently had been as safe as in the lock-up. "Why shouldn’t James Boyle pinch out a littla fun while waiting? How was he to anticipate the girl and the sea tramp'called The Tigress? Some thing that wasn’t in the play at all but had walked out of the scenery like the historical black cat? “I’ll have to punish a lot of tobacco to get the kinks out of this. Sure Mike!” At the hotel he wrote a long letter to his chief, explaining every detail of the fizzle. Later lie dispatched a cable announcing the escape and the sending of th« letter. When he returned to Hong-Kong, there was a reply to his cable. “Hang on. Find that boy ” Some order. South America was big; but ten thousand is lands, scattered all over the biggest ocean on the map!

TELLCHARACTER BY THE TEETH New European Science Gives Rules for Character Analysis Berlin.—A new "science" Is de veloping in Europe whose devotees claim they’re able to tell a person's character from the teeth—their num ber, size, position, form, condition and peculiarities. The principal, general rules foi such a character analysis are given as follows: The man who opens his lips slight ly when he smiles so his upper teetih are visible is at) open, agree able person. The man, however, who draws his lips tightly together and seemingly seeks to hide his teeth, Is untrustworthy. Whoever shows his teeth constant ly and without cause is stupid. WTioever has foo many teetih is weak of will and easily led. A wo man with too many teeth is talkative and a bore. People with a fourth big molar are dangerous or criminal. Women with very irregular upper teeth lack moral balance. A Russian criminologist is cited as having found that 40 per cent- of w'oman slayers and 58 per cent, of women thieves he examined had abnormalities on their upper teeth. Women whose upper tcetli pro trude far over the lower ones are quarrelsome, cunning and revenge ful. Small, white teeth, set close together indicate their possessor is mean and spiteful. The same char acteristics are possessed by peopip whose eyeteeth are narrow from the gums to the top. but then spread a bit. If the eyeteeth are Imbedded very deeply, they indicate unusurtf energy and perseverance. If the eyetooth Is broad near thi gums and pointed at the tip, it Indi cates that its owner can i>o trusted to the limit. A preponderance of upper teeth over the lower ones point towards thoughtfulness and high mental ca vacity.

In attempting to improve the appear ance of my chin, I used a soap which had been recommend ed for that purpose but which proved to be too harsh for when I washed off the lather, the skin came with it. I applied cold cream, but the damage was too se vere to yield to so mild an agent. My husband consulted our neigh borhood druggist and asked if it would not be advisable to call in our family doctor. The druggist said: “You do not need a doctor in this case. Get a jar of Resinol Oint ment and a cake of Resinol Soap and have your wife use them ac cording to directions — they will 'beat everything else a hundred ways.” So my husband bought the Resinol products and hopefully brought them home. My skin was so tender and sore that I could not touch water to it, so I cleansed it gently first with pure olive oil and then applied the Resinol. I used a soft handkerchief that night for protection. In the morning, I bathed it gently with warm water and Resinol Soap, rinsing off with tepid water, and I could hardly believe that such a miracle of healing could occur dur ing one night. The raw surface had filmed over and now looked only like a bad case of sunburn.
