Lesson I Piirt II.
If you live In the country, where you
can get clean rain water, by all means
bottle It and save it for faco washing.
If this Is not .practical BOttcn the ordi
nary T.-ater with a pinch of borax It you
have a reason to think it is at all hard.
Ab a woman gets older the akin needs
more and more care, tor nature In loss
active In renewing it and throwing oft
impurities. There is also apt to be a
laclc ot natuira oil, and this is why
women, as years go on, need to use
creams ot some sort and to refrain from
the use ot soap. Skin that la allowed to
become dry wrinkles easily; it Is far
caster to prevent wrinkles than it is,, to"
cure them and thfe first step in prevent-'
ins them is not 'to allow the skin to be
come dry. ;"
There is no question as to the necessity
of toilet creams)- the only Question is,
what kind? (This depends on th'eskln and
the purpose-or-whlch the creatmis to be
used. As a. substitute for soap, a cleans
ing cream is necessary. This may, ,be a
soft ointment or a llqufa, but It' shduld
be absolutely- tree from, harmful ingred
ients, such as mineral oils and preserva
tives, and should. -be-soft enough-to be
rubbed freely oVer the skin . without
causing any friction. A cleansing cream
will keep the faco clean, soft and well
lubricated and its use- will do much to
prevent wrinkles, 'sunburn, freckles, and
roughness, but it contains no healing
properties, neither does' It fatten nor feed
tho skin.
A very young face, as a, rule, does not
need massage, but as ax- woman ap
proaches 20, apd, unfortunately, .some
times "younger, tho fatty tissue beneath
tho skin, begin to fall away arid, in con
sequence, hollows tho lines and fine wrin
kles about ' the eyes begin to appear.
It Is then- that 'we resort to massage,
which means tho proper manipulation of
the face so as to strengthen the muscles
and feed, tho skin. In a-future lesson ,I
shali give you, complete directions for
facial, and neck maBsage,;, . for tho mo
ment I 'have only space to, touch on the
subject."" The akin- can only be fed In
two ways-by means "ot the blood -knd
by . absorption from outside and to'do
this jve must uioi with the massage
movements a proper massage cream.
There are only a few fats that the skin
can absorb, and a Bkln food therefore
must contain such fats if It is to be of
any use in removing tho wrinkles. A
proper massage cream or skin food, a
wrlnkje paste, as it is sometimes called,
Is much thicker than a cleansing cream:
It is apt to be more expensive, but it
need not be so frocely used, and a small
Jar or It will last a long time.
Blackheads, acne (what is commonly
termed pimples), serious roughness or
noreness 01 me BKin, call for a special
jfrcam' containing, some healing agent. A
healthy skin needs anrh a mom hut
Irarely, perhaps never, but it Is wise to
understand 'the different face creams and
tneir uses. First, there is the cream for
cleansing and lubricating purposes, which
every woman, young or old, needs; sec
ond, the massage or, wrinkle cream, to
be rubbed into the skin when wrinkles
and lines are appearing, and, third, a
healing cream for eruptions, blackheads

Recently I told you about tho fellows and girls tobogganing in

the steep country and mountainside. I told you how the sloe-eyed
Oriental in the clubhouse eyed their scarlet-and-white figures first
speeding by like falling stars and then piking back up again like crawl

same trail like a flame, the crackling! arrow-liko Instant of cctaoy, and
the patient, snail-pace struggle back tho "whlzand walk a mile!"

thunderstorm brews over 'London. At
the height of thcr storm a flash of light
ning scares a team, attached to a coach
stahdlng In front of a West End man
sion. I'hlllp, who has become a news
boy, rescues a girl from the carriage
Just before It turns over. A man with
the girl trips over Philip In his excite

policeman. The girl pleads for Philip
and ho is allowed to go after learning
that the mail ws Lord Vanstone. Philip
then determines' to cosimlt suicide.
Just as ho is about to hang himself a
meteor flashed by tho window and'
crashes Into the flagstones in the yard..
Tho boy takes thtB as a Blgn from heaven
not to kilt himself. He then goes to the
yard to look at the meteor. Philip ptoka
up several curious-looking bits of the
meteor and takes them to a diamond

his arrest. At the police station, he
gives his name as Philip Jlorland.
lsaacatcin tells the Judge that the dia
monds are worth 60,000 pounds ($250,000).
I'hlllp refuses to answer questions, and
is remanded for a week. Lady Mor

"Philip Morland" and Is puzzled.
In the police court he succeeds in con
vincing the magistrate, Mr. Abingdon,
that he came Into possession of tho Jew

ship of the magistrate, who sends him
back to make an arrangement with Isaac

a year for a term of years, for a com
mission ot 10 per cent, and to place at
once 6.000 pounds to thp hoy's credit In

With this money Philip provides himself
with a better suit of clothes, and with

astonishment. TlVeti the policeman came
'so clctee that his helmet rested against
a pane ot glass. He grlnnod affably and
cried?'
"Here! I want to speak to you."
Intuitively grasping the essential fact
that his best policy was ono of ready nc
qulsecence, Philip sprang toward the
door and unlocked It. He stood on the
step. The constable approached.
"I hope I didn't startlo you," he began,
"but I Just looked In on tho off chanco"
"I am very glad Indeed to seo you," In
terrupted the boy, "I am leaving here to

some ot my belongings, a very nasty-looking
man came and peeped In at me In the
same way aa you did."

man half followed him, his quick' glance
noting tho open portmanteau and its ar
ray ot old clothes,
"Just now," he questioned, "Do you
mean some time since?"
"No, no. Not a half mlnute-a few sec
onds ago."
"But where can he be? He hasn't left
the mews or I must have seen him. I
crossed the road and no one came out
in so short a time."
"Well, he is somewhere In the place
he had a horrid appearance a man with
a broken nose. He mado me Jump, I can
assure you."
"A man with a broken nose! By Jove,
I'm looking for a party ot that descrip
tion. A rank wrong 'un. Hobbery with

What sort of man was he? You saw

But hero Is nnothor kind of "whiz andwalk a mile!"
He also this rocltloss boy with his fat pockets Is taking n wild
flight ltko a comet cut adrift, in a whirl of money-dust, his eyes bllndod
by fako beauty, the glaro of tho Croat Whlto Way about him, the. sting
of champagne In his blood instead of tho btto of snow. His fathor

evening clothes with money that ho novor earned. And he's "whizzing!''
But he will "walk." After this whirl, this breathless, gasping In

In tho snow on tho side trail, and tho snow will bo deep, and his shoos
burst, and tho climb heart-breaking. And there will be not ono of tho
Jils face only, I suppose?"
The constable stepped back Into the
paved court. A rapid twist of his hand
sent a vivid beam of light dancing over
ruined tenements, disheveled doorways
and shattered windows.
"A tall man," said Philip, "taller than
you, for I could seo his chin, over the
string of the curtain. He had a big, faco,
with eyes that stuck out boldly"
"By tho Lord, it's Jocky right enough!"
cried the constable. "Now, where can ho
have gone to? He's an ugly customer to
tackle single handed," he added beneath
his breath. .
"Won't you wait a bit until 1 get some
help?" said Philip, anxiously.
Tho man appeared to debate tho point.
Tho nearest comrade was an acting ser
geant, newly promoted. If ho were sum
moned, tho kudos of a smart capture
would be his by right ot seniority.
"No," announced the constable, -stubbornly.
"It he is here, I will handlo him
myself."
Again his lamp swept the small .area,
of the mews and revealed no living ob
ject. Ho quickly unfastened Ills belt,
took off hl greatcoat, and readjusted bolt
and lamp again.
"Nqw I'm ready for him," he grinned.
"Put my coat Inside, boy, and stand at
the door yourself with the candle In
your hand. If you see anything, yell out
to me."
Philip obeyed. .These preparations for
a deadly-struggle appealed to his very
soul, for your healthy minded boy of 15
has generally ceased to be a highway
man or a prale In Imagination, and alms
rather at planting the Union Jack on a
glacis bristling with hosttlo cannon.
The policeman, feeling for the loose
strap of his truncheon, commenced a
careful survey of the mews. He had not
gone five yards when there was a loud
crash of broken glass. The building at
tie other end of the yard possessed a
coupla, of windows facing into another
lnclosuro at the back. Obviously, the
broken-nosed "Jocky," unseen himself,
had observed the constable's movements.
Ileallzing that discovery was Imminent,
he was effecting a strategic movement
to the rear
The policeman Instantly abandoned his
cautious tactics, He run toward the door
of tho house whence the sound came.
It resisted eomewhnt, but yielded to his
shoulder. He disappeared Inside. Philip,
after closing his own door, also ran to
tho new center ot Interest, shielding the
candle with ono hand lost It should blow
out.
Quick as he was he missed tho first
phase of a Homer's combat. The vio
lent "Jocky," foiled by an unnoticed Iron
bar In his attempt to escape, turned Ilka
a madman on tho policeman. There was
no sort of parley between them. Cursing
the luck that had revealed his hiding
place, tho man, an ex-convlct, with tho
frame of a giant, sprang at his pursuer
suddenly from an Inner room.
The policeman had a second's warning.
It was something, but not enough to
give him an advantage. He got his club
out, but simultaneously his assailant was
on him with tho ferocity of a catamount.
jThey closed In bone-breaking endeavor.
and nerore tney were locked together
for ten fearful seconds the officer of the
law bitterly regretted the professional

this unequal strife.
For ho was physically outclassed, and

In such n HUpreme moment. Neverthe

over liberty was as. potent Incentive as

throttled when the pale gleam of Philip's
candle lit up the confines of tho ruinous
hovel about which the two men stamped

At tho prccteo moment of the boy's en

he fell, with his remorseless antagonist
pppermost. Philip, gailng at them wlde

lie gazed 'at them aa In a trance, but
relief canto when ho heard them breath
ing stentorlously. At last, after a pause
that apparently endured unnumbered,
minutes, the constable weakly rolled him
self free from the bulky form ot his
would-be slayer, and sat up,
He Inflated hts lungs vigorously. Then
ho managed to gasp:
"Thank you) You've saved my llfel"
He pressed his ribs with both hands and
gingerly felt his throat. He stood up. His
lamp was still alight, but a quantity of
oil had run over his tunlo and trousers.
"By Jove, boy, you are a brick," he
said, and his voice was under control
again,
Philip answered not a word; his eyes
wero glued on tho prostrate form ot
Jocky. Tho policeman understood his fear
and laughed,
"Don't you worry about him. He'll do
a stretch all right. I would have given
him a harder one that it I got a swing
at him."
His words were quickly Justified, The
fallen man growled unintelligibly and
moved. With a rapidity born of much
practice the otticcr handcuffed him.
Thero must have been some sense ot fa
miliarity In the touch of tho steel brace
lets, for the recipient ot this delicate at
tention stirred uneasily.
"You knocked him silly," grinned the
policeman, "but he will get his wits back
in a minute or two. CJan you bring him
a drink 'of water? It won't do mo any
harm cither."
Philip hurried away to comply with
this request. His mind was relieved now,
and with the backward awing of the,
mental pendulum came tho reflection that
the least said of hts connection with the
case the better.
He filled a small tin at the scullery
tap and ran with it to the sceno of the
capture. The constable wm gently shak
ing his prize and addressing him by
namei
"Jocky! Jocky Mason! Pull yourself to
gether. This way for the Old Bailey!"
"If you please," said Philip. "I would
very greatly obliged were my name
not mentioned at all with reference to
this aftalr.
The policeman, whoso senses were nor
mal again, waa Instantly Impressed by
the boy's grand manner. His aocont was
that of the men ot tho University Mis
sion. And how many boys of his age
would have struck so straight and. truly
at a critical moment?
"Well, don't you see. that will be
rather difficult," was tho answer. "It
w:u you who told me where ho waa, and
the man himself knows that without
somebody's help I could not have ar
sleeve with a hand jeweled as
rested him. There Is no need to mince
matter, I have you to thank for not
being laid hero stiff."
Philip said no more. To press his re
quest Implied a powerful motive. Tho

spired that day- to supply htm with ex
citement. Mason eagerly gulped the water held
to his lips. Then he tried to raise hts
right hand to his head. Ahl He under-
stood. A flood of oaths began to meander
thickly from his mouth.
"That's better," said the constable,
encouragingly. "Now, up tyou get. It's
no use, Jockey, I won't let you kick
me. You must cither go quietly or I
will drag you to tho street over the
stands, and that will hurt."
