Philip Anson Is a boy of 15, of tlno edu

nnd miserably poor.
'Tho story opeps with tho death of his
mother.
. !ltlch relatives have deserted the family
Ih their hour of need, and when Ilia
mother's death comes Philip Is in de
spair, Hc .looks over his mother's letters
and .finds that ne Is related to Sir Philip
Morland. SA few daya later a terrific
thlindcrstorm brews over London. At the
height of the. storrti ,a flash of lightning
ecarcs'a team attached to a. coach stand

Fhlllp, who has becomo a newsboy, res
cues a, girl from tho cUrrlfigVi' Just before
It turns over. A man with tho girl trips
over Philip in his oxcltcment. He. cuffs
tho boy and calls a policeman. Ttio girl
pleads for-., Philip and ho is .allowed to
go after learning that tho man was Lord
Vanstorie. Philip then determines to com

Just as h is about to hang himself a
meteor flashes' by tho window and
crashes Into the flagstones in tho yard.
The boy takes this as a sign from heaven
not. to kill himself. Ho then goes' to the
yard to look at tn meteor. Philip picks
up several curious-looking bits of the me
teor and takes, .them to a diamond mer
chant .named Isaacstein, who causes his
arrest. At the police station ho gives
his name as Philip Morland. Isaacstein
tells tho judge that tho- diamonds are
iworth EO.000 pounds ($250,000), Philip re
fuses to answer questions and Is re
manded for a week. Lady Morland, din
ing in a restaurant, reads about "Philip
Morland" and is puzzled.

"YOU ARB A STRANGE
BOY,'" HE SAID. "I THINK
YOU ARE ACTING WISELY.
BUT ER YOU HAVE NO
MONEY THAT IS, IN A
SENSE. HATTON GARDEN IS
to say, but at that moment a French
.maid -entered tho, room aod gazed In
quiringly aroundi the various small tables
with which It was filled. At last Bho
found the lady, who was breakfasting
alone, nnd sped swiftly toward her;
"I am so glad, milady," sho said, speak
ing In French. "The bag has found It
self at the pollco station. Tho cabman
brought It there, and, if you please,
milady, as the value was given aa S,
ho claimed a reward of fl."
"Which you will pay yourself. You
lost the . bag.," was tho curt reply.
"Where Is liV
The. maid's voice was somewhat tear
ful as sho answered:
"In milady's room. I paid the sover
eign." Her ladyship rose and gilded gracefully
toward tho door, followed by the mold,
who whispered to a French waiter bow
ing most deferentially to tho guest as he
held the door that her mistress was a
cat. Ho confided his own opinion that
her ladyship was a holy pig, and the two
passed along a corridor.
Lady Morland hastily toro open tho
recovered dressing case and consulted
an address book.
"Oh! hero It Is," she crle. triumphantly.

Thus It happened that .during the after
noon a dapper little clerk descended! from
an omnibus in"the neighborhood of John
son's Mews, and began, his Inquiries, as
all Londoners do, by "consulting a -po-llcemir
Certain facts were forthcoming.
a .Mrs. Anson, a widow, who lived In
Johnson's Mews? Yes, I think a woman
at that namo died a few weeks ago. I
remember seeing a funeral leavo the
mews. I don't know anything about the
boy. Sometimes, when I pass through
there at night, I have seen a light In the
house. However, hero It is. Let'a have
a look at it."
Tho pair entered tho mews and ap
proached tho deserted house. Tho
solicitor's clerk knocked and then tried
tho door; It was locked. They both went
to the window and looked In. Had
Philip hanged himself, as he intended,
they would have been somewhat sur
prised by the spectacle that would havo
met their oyes. As it was, they only saw
a small room of utmost wretchedness,
with a mattress lying on tho floor In
front of the fireplace. An empty tin
and a bundle of old letters rested on a
rickety chair, and a piece of sacking
was thrust through two broken panes In
the smball window opposite.
''Not much there, eh?" laughed the
policeman.
"Not much. Indeed. The floor Is all
covered with dirt, and If It were not for
bed, one would Imagine that the' house
was entirely 'deserted. Are you sure
Mrs. Anson la dead?"
."Oh, quite sure. Hers was rather a
hard case, some one told me. I remem
ber now; It was the undertaker. He
lives near here."
And the boy. Has he gone away?''
"I don't know. I haven't seen him
lately."
Each of these men had read all the
report concerning . Philip and his dia
monds. Large numbers of tiny, white
pebbles were lying on the floor beneath
their oyes, but tho window was not clean
and the light was far from good, as the
sky was clouded. Yet they were vlslblo
enough. The clerk noticed them at once,
hut neither he nor tho policeman paid
more heel to the treasures almost at
their feet than was given by generations
of men to the outcrop of the raalrj reef

at Johannesburg. At last they turned
awayf Tho clerk gave tho policeman a
cigar with, the "remark; '
"I will Just ask the undertaker to -give
mo a letter, stating tho facts about Mm,
Anson's death. I suppose the boy Is In
tho workhouse."
"Who knows.? It often beats me to
tclf what becomes of the kldB who aro
left alone In- London. Poor llttlo devils,
they mostly go to tho bad. Tliero should
bo iomo means of looking after them, I
think."
Thus did Philip, bravely sustaining his
heart in the solitude of a prison, escape
tho greatest danger that threatened the
preservation of his secret, and all be
cause a scheming woman was too clever
to tell her solicitors the exact reason for
her anxiety concerning the whereabouts
of Mrs. Anson and her son.
Tho boy passed a dolorous Saturday
night and Sunday. Nevertheless, tho or
der, the cleanliness, tho comparative
comfort of a prison were not wholly un
grateful to htm. His meals, though crude,
were wholesome, luxurious, even, com
pared with the privations he had endured
during" tho previous fortnight. The' enV
forced rest, too, did him good, and, be
ing under remand ho had nothing to do
but eat, take exercise, read a few books
provided for him, and sleep.
With Monday .came a remarkable
change in his fare. A pint of first-rate
cocoa and somo excellent bread and but
ter for breakfast evoked no comment on
his pftrt, iut a .dinner of roast ,bcef, po
tatoes, cabbage and rice pudding was so
extremely unllko prison diet that ho ques
tioned tho turnkey.
"It'l all right, kid," caroe the brief
answer. "It's paid for. Eat while you
can, and ask no questions."
"But"
The "door slammed, and at tho next
meal Prlllp received In silence a cup of
tea and a nlco tea cake. This went on
during three days. The good food and
rest had already worked a marvellous
change In his appearance. He entered
the prlsln looking Ilka a ' starved dog.
When he rose on the Thursday morning
and washed himself, no one would have
recognized him as the same boy were It
not for his clothes.
After dinner, he was tidying his .cell
and replacing the plates and tho rest on
a tin tray, when the door was flung open
and a warden cried;
"Come along, Morland. You're wanted
at tho court."
"At the court!" he could not help sav
ing. "This Is only Thursday."
"What a boy you are for arguing.
Pick up your hat and come. Your car
rlago waits, my lord. I know you will
l(ke youquartera' as' well .when you come
oacx.. Apreuy stir you have made In
the papers the -last flyo days."
Idols
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.
Ah, yes, we have them, small feet net In clay
Where we like devotees day after day
Do worship for a swift caress, a smile,
A word breathed lightly, we havo yet a whllo
Our Heaven upon earth, and well wo may,
For soon, out of Life's Joy, there comes a day
When, shattered In abjection most complete, '
Our Idol falls In ruins at our feet.
And we learn our lessons with the rest,
Losing each time a little of the best.
Learning to smile at what tho world calls Just,
Mocking, dry-eyed, that weaker thing called trust.
But when each day fresh lives spring up anew,
What matters, after all, a soul or two?
FOR THE INTEREST HE
FELT IN THE BOY, QUITE
APART FROM HIS INEX
PLICABLE STORY, GAVE HIM
FIVE SHILLINGS AND SHOOK
HANDS WITH HIM.
Philip glanced at tho man, who seemed
to bo In a good humor.
"I will not como back," ho sold quietly,
"but I -wish you would tell me who sup
piled mo with food whllo I havo been
here.-"
They wero passing along a lofty cor
ridor, nnd there was no superior officer
In tight. Tho warden laughed.
"I don't know, my lord," ho said, ''but
tho monco camu from, tho Itoynl Star
hotel, opposite"
Philip obtained no further news. Ho
passed through an office, a voucher was
signed for him, and ho emerged Into tho
prison yard, whero tho hugo prison van
awaited him. Ho was tho only occupant
Just as on tho first mcmorablo ride In
that conveyance. When ho came to tho
prison from tho pollco court ho had nev
eral companions In misery. But they
wero "stretched." His caso was the only
"remand."
During tho long drivo Philip en
deavored to guess the cause of this un
expected demand for his presence. Natur
ally, ho assumed that Johnson s Mews
no longer held safe tho secret of his
meteor. Such few sensational romances
aa he had read credited detectives with
superhuman Bagactty. In his mind
Johnson's Mows was the center of the
world. It enshrined tho marvellous how
could It escapotho thousands of prying
eyes that passed dally through the great
thoroughfaro of tho East End, but
few yards away? Judging from' the re
mark dropped by the warden, nil London
was talking about him. A puzzling foa-
turo was tho abundant supply of good
food sent him In tho prison. Who was
his unknown friend and what explana
tion was attached to tho Incident?

I'hiup a emotions were no moro cap

Tho general public and the representa
tives of tho press were not visible.
Ho had scarcely faced tho bench when
tho magistrate said:
"You aro sot at liberty. The police
withdraw the charge against you."
Philips eyes sparkled and his breast
heaved tumultously. For tho life of htm
he could utter no word, but Mr. Ablngton
helped him by quietly directing the usher
to permit the lad to leave tho .dock and
take a seat at the solicitors' table.

My Dear Rcadora! Before beginning my

of which I lmvo dovoted by nmturo life.

soii of my prospective roaders, or pupils.
ns I hope to regard you, aa to why I lmvo

Komo of you may not havo heard me,

nnd, I am sure,
imoro useful
fluid that Is

through tho

I am not sorry, howovcr, that 1 have
waited until now for this Important un
dertaking. I havo gained valuable ex
perlonco from contact with tho brightest
women of tho world, travel of recent
yenra has enlarged my point of view,
and, best of nil, I feel that tho moment Is
now rlpo In America for a serious dis
cussion of this subject. Boauty culture
now stands as a profession, as legitimate
In Its plnco ns tho work of tho physician

spend at her toilet, needs knowledge as to
how to Bpend this time wisely, and tho
society butterfly who subjects her
Dcnuty to tho cruel test 'of lato hours
und Irregular meals, must tako heed that
it docs not pass with her youth.
Tho understanding of how to caro, cn-
hanco nnd preserve beauty Is not confined
lo any ago or class; beauty Is a common
herltugo from Mother Eve, and, In Its
highest form, Is ageless. Tho beauty of
a mature woman Is not that which we
expect of youth, neither Is the attractive
ness of tho elderly woman what we find
In the matron, hut wo should bear In
mind that tho first step onward Is to free
ourselvea from all limitation of age. No
one Is too young or too old for Instruction
on this subject.
A good-looking-, woman stands before
tho world as tho best argument for
women's rights. A woman haa tho right
to look young and attractive Just so long
as sho cun, and this, to my mind, means
as long as she lives. I honestly believe
that women like myself, who havo In
structcd other women to honestly and
sanoly prescrvo and Improve their phi'
slcal charms havo played an Important
part with tho general emancipation and
advancement of Amerlcun women, an aa
vnncemcnt that has gone along with In
tellectual proBross,
Many yca,ra ago when I commenced my
work, tho Utorary. or advanced woman,
the "bluo stocking." as sho was called,
was generally regarded as lacking In any
physical charms, if she possessed them
to any degree, they wero (absolutely con
cealed by dowdy clothes and an absolute
lack of knowledge as to how to caro for
her complaxlon, her hnlr or her figure.
In fact, to havo used powder or to have
softened the dryness of a wrinkling skin
by an Intelligent use of creams would
have been regarded as the grossest van
Ity and havo
exposed t o
rtcioulo and
I I 1 - n a -tured
com
mont. Today, on
tho contrary,
tho leading
women of
America, In
soolety, o n
the stage,. In
business, 1 n
the
women promi
nent in club
work, In pub
lic servjeo are, almost without exception,
womoh approaching the meridian of life,
and yet they aro the most beautiful
women In our land tho flower of our
democracy. Women who have cultivated
their brains havo learned that It la no
less a part of their duty to cultlvato their
bodies. To do this In the best, tho most
jjjj
scientific, the simplest manner possible,
Is what I am teaching nnd this will be
the subject of the articles I am to wrlto.
When I began my work there was no
accurate, proven knowledgo on this sub
ject. Women believed In tho efficacy of
washing their faces with early morning
dew nnd cutting their hair at a certain
turn of the moon, and, unfortunately, In
ether superstitions not so harmless aa
thcto. It was also tho custom to com
pound creams and lotions at homo from
old fashioned roclpes nnd ascribe great
virtue for these, for no reason save that
their grandmothers used them.
Many of tho creams and lotions com
pounded at that tlmo were not useless,
and I am still a groat believer In a puro
home-made rroduct In preference u a
proprietary ono of doubtful value, but the
difficulties of preparing these prevented
their doing much general good. In many
southern families, especially thoso of
French descent, as was my mother's
family, a part of tho heritage from mother
to daughter was some carefully written
recipes for hnnd-whltenlng lotions, creams
and powders. Homo of these fell Into my
possession and wore really the reason for
my becoming Interested In this work.
As a girl I was always fond of what
todav would bo termed chemistry, but
wht was then regarded ns rather an un
feminine "puttering about" with bottles
and tho mild chemicals that my father
permitted me to uso. Me was a physlrlan
of tho old school, and, like many of thnt
day, had a little laboratory back or his
office, where he compounded many of his
p r o a c r I p
tlons. It was
In this tiny
offlco with an
old fashioned
mortar and
pestlo that 1
made my first
face powder
and put up
in y first
creams for
my Individual
use and per
sonal amuse
ment, and it
was my Inter
est In thoso
things at that
time that led me to make beauty culture
my life study.
Tho recipes wero good, that much I
can say of thenn but the difficulties of
obtaining at homo the Ingredients with
(which to make them wero considerable.
At that time almost everything rellablo
camo from France. This Is not truo to
day, for I know of absolute laboratory
cxporimonts that thcro are better creams
and powders made In America than In
Europe Fortunately, I had a cousin
studying chemistry In Germany. Ho was
Interested In my work and made several
analyses for me, and eventually he pro
cured in France and Germany the ma
terials of which I was In need.
In tho meantime my work was gplng
on and I was becoming moro ana morn
Interested In tho study of the skin and
hair and the effects that certain prepara
tions had, not only on the surface skin,
but upon tho fatty tissue and muscles
underlying It. My family moved to Chi
cago and chance threw me there much In
the company of singers and women promt-
rent In the
world.
Many of theso
becamo m y
pupils, as well
as my friends
and the list
comprise
moft of the
woll - known
stars of a
quarter of a
century ago,
I often
think fondly
of theso early
pupils who
meant so
much to me In the beginning of my work.
Many of them are still my pupils; women
now In the height of their fame and still
famous as beauties. Their autographed
photographs lino the walls of my study
and Intimate correspondence I have from
them testifies to their regard and friend.
ship. I have had my moment of (lis
couragement what sincere worker has
r.ot?-but I can honestly feel that all my
labor has not been In vain.
But I am Impatient for results, for
bigger results, and from a larger class. I
want all women to care for themselves
and do It In tho right way. Caro for
tho complexion Is not enough; It must
bo Intelligent rare. Cleanliness may he
akin to godliness, but misdirected clean
llnesa Is otter a bad beauty treatment.
Under this category we must Include
washing with hard or Impure water,
Improper soaps or the Improper use of
o a p , haa
ruined more
faces than It
haa cleaned,
and a rancid
or poorly
made cold
o r e a m will
breed pimples
aa fast aa a
mosaulto will
lay eggs.
Just why
t h ese things
are a o and
the reasons
for them I
shall take up
In detail In
my various articles. I shall explain the
why and tho wlBi-ofOre, for you are In
telligent women and I do not expect you
to follow mo blindly. What I wish to do
in theso lessons Is to tench every reader
of them to express the Ideal of beauty
that lies In her own soul. I do not wish
or purpose to mako you vain or self con
scious; on tho contrary I am cuing to
hold tho mirror up to nature and wo will
talk over the troubles nnd send them
away. Wo will not work miracles; we
will simply effect Improvements and our
work together will havo behind It correct
scientific principles and my long years
of experience.
You must help me. Wrlto to me If you
like. You will find that your especial
difficulties will bo taken upln a futuro
lesson, or, if It Is neccssor', .1 will roply
to you personally.
If I havo succeeded In my work, It Is
becauso I have loved It and because I
want to help women. Beautiful faces
havo always appealed to me. but thcro
Is a still stronger nppeal to my sympathy
nnd that Is tho natural desire or Instinct
that lies In every woman's heart to bo
beautiful for those fho loves attractive
to her husband and children, to tho
friends that lovo her. When the chil
dren begin to think thnt mother Is "old,"
and It doesn't matter how she looks or
what sho wears, when tho husband's
eyes no longer light up with ndmlrntlon
then tho wife nnd mother Is apt to feel
that her empire la slipping away from
her and to give up tho struggle to re
tain It.
This feeling Is wrong, unnatural nnd
benuty-deatroylng. Beauty Is hover at
an end, attrac-
tlvoness can
nlwaya bo re
gained even
Jf, for the mo
ment, Itncems
to bo lost.
Tho marks of
time can bo
wisely han
dled, V.o rav
ages of Illness
overcome, and,
what Is per
haps tho most
difficult of all,
tho effocts of
111 tomper, dis
courage mont
and wrong bellcfa overcome. It Is alj In
tho knowing how.
I am going to tell you about your kkln.
Its delicate struoturc, how oaally It may
be harmed and how neglect and Improper
treatment may be corrected. I ahall tako
up the caro of the scalp and explain what
In necessary in order to havo healthy,
luxuriant hair. I do not believe In tho
necessity of wrinkled or discolored necks.
My own throat, not especially pretty aa
a girl, 1m smooth nnd unllned in my col-
lariess gowns, nnd I am but I remember
wo nre to forgot ago. Tho arms, tho caro
of the hands and feet, tho figure, how
to keep It young and supple and tho
proper weight, are among tho subjects
that will bo discussed.
Passing fashions I shall not deal with.
but the broader question of dress and
adornment is very dear to me. Tho ex-
trcmo fnshlons of the day, with their
temptation to constant and unmeaning
extravagance, aro to bo deplored. Women
should be gowned correctly, whether for
the opera, tho street or the' home, but
tho extravagantly dressed woman is not
always tho best, dressed.
Good dressing 'Should be within tho limi
tations of a woman's purse; to overstep
this point Is ostentatious. Colors, the
proper selection of matorlals. tho lines in
which a costume in out, are of more Im
portance than changing fashions or tho
money spent on a toilet.
This Is oftep ppoacn ot as tho "woman's
age." If by that Is meant a Dcrlod in
which much la
Is expected of ...
women, the
expression
stands. In all
ages women
havo been
wives and
m others,
housekeep o r a
cooks; they
have carod for
their homes,
brought u p
their children,
fed tho poor
and nursed the
sick. The wo
man of today
Is expected to bo trained In philanthropy,
to bo ablo to bring up children on cor
rect pedagoglo principles, to understand
hygiene and scientific housekeeping, It
her career Is within tho home.
Outside of the home women havo gone
Into art and literature. Into business and
professions, hitherto undreamed of for
women. In eleven states they aro voters
and eligible for public offices, and in all
parts of the country women aro active
in civic and social reforms. But they
itlll caro for the homo and bring up tha
children; In taking on new duties they
have thrown off nono of the old.
Tile only outcome' of Ihla multiplying
of duties Is specializing. "Every cobbler
to his lost." Women must go to special
ists for the Instruction they need in the
duties that confront them, for there is no
woman that does not need help n
woman can handlo tho tas)t alone In ono
short lifetime. Wo havo some things to
learn from men and ono Is tbq correct
disposal of time and energy.
