First
Prof: Crosby, waiting at n suburban
station for a trolley car to take htm to
ths Alnslles, where he had a loclal en
gagement, encountered Miss Tabor, whom
ho had met at a Christmas party th
winter before. She. too. Is Invited by the
Alnslles. When the belated trolley comes,
they start off together, to meet with a
wreck. Miss Tabor Is stunned and Crosby,
assisted by a strange woman ' passenger,
restores her, finding all her things save
a slender golden chain. Crosby searches
for this and finds It holds a wedding
ring. Together they go Yo the Tabors',
where father and mother welcome the
daughter, calling her "Lady." and give
Crosby a rather strained greeting. Cir
cumstances suggest he stay over night,
and he awakens to find himself locked In
his room. Before hn can determine the
cause he Is called and required to leave
the house. Miss Tabor letting him out
and telling him she cannot tee him again.
At the Inn where he puts up he notices
Tabor In an argument with a strange
Italian sailor. Crosby protects the sailor
from the crowd at the Inn and goes on
to the Alnslles, where he again encoun
ters Miss Tabor, who has told her hosts
nothing of her former meeting with the
professor. The two are getting along very
Well, when Dr. Walter Keld, Mlas Tabor's
half-brother, appears and bears 'her away.
Crosby returns to the Inn and demands
to see MIsb Tabor. Held refuses, but
Crosby declines to go until she tells him
herself. Mlas Tabor greets him in a
strained way and tells him It is her wish
he leave and never try to see her again.
He says he will not unless she send for
him. That night she calls him to Join
in a hurried trip by auto to New York.
The chauffeur does not appear to relish
the journey, but Crosby fixes the ma
chine and they are driven Into a crowded
tenement district of the city. Hero they
ascended several flights of stairs, and
found the door at the top blocked. Forc
ing it open, they discovered the body of
Sheila, Miss Tabor's nuruo, bleeding from
many wounds, but with signs of llf.
Caruccl, the strange Italian, who Is also
Sheila's husband, la in a drunken stupor
in the nest room. The chauffeur
weakens, but Crosby carries the injured
woman down to th car. and prepares to
drive it himself. Crosby succeeds In elud
ing the police, but the timid chauffeu-
escapes. With no further ndxrnture the
party readies the Tabor home. Hero
Crosby learns that pr. Held Ib married to
Lady Tabor's sister. The details of the
adventure are discussed, mid the prospect
of Its getting Into the papers. Crosby !s
Informed that hl former ejectment from
tho Tabor home had been a b'uff.

CHAPTER XI.
it is Just Natural
To Admire Babie:
Our altrustlo nature Impels love for the
cooing infant. And at the same timo
the subJecVfof motherhood la ever before
us. To know what to do that will add
to the physical comfort of expectant
motherhood Is a subject that has Inter
ested most women of all times. One of
th real helpful things Is an external
abdominal application sold In most drug
teres under the name of "Mother'n
Friend." We have known so many grand
mothers, who In their younger dayn
relied upon this remedy, and who recom
mend It to their own daughters that Jt
certainly must be what Us name Indi
cates. They have used It for Its dlreci
Influence upon the muscles, cords, liga
ments and tendons as It alms to afford
relief from tno strain and pain so often
unnecessarily severe during the period ol
expectancy.
Every woman should mention "Mother'n
JYUnd" when the stork Is tha subject of
conversation. An Interesting little book
Is mailed free upon application to Brad
fleld rtegulstor Co., 403 Umir Bldg.,
Atlanta, da. It refers to many things
that women like to read about.
Get or recommend a bottle of "Mother's
rrlend" to-day and write for the book.
Expressions of the Family and Im
pressions of the Press,
(Continued.)
Well, even If they do," said I, "It
won't do any great amount of harm.
They might urnst me for speeding, but
that would bo about all. No one In his
senses would be likely to accuse us of
murder."
"My good young nian?" Mr. Tabor ans
wered, "they absolutely mustn't dream
that we had any hand In it at all. They
mustn't ever ht-ar of us. And neither
must anybody else."
Lady sighed wearily. "I'm sure that
It will be alt right, father." she said.
"The chauffeur will be iu.'et for the
sake of his own character, I added.
"Uo's as anxious to avoid all connection
with It as we are. And as for me, sir,
you may be euro that nothing will leak
out through any Indiscretion of mine."
Mr. Tabor pushed aside the finger bowl.
"1 understand that. Mr. Crosby and I
appreciate hq.w uncomfortabl it must be
for you to net In the dark. Believe me, 1
, regret very much the necessity for It,
and appreciate your generosity."
Lady was looking at us, and I colored.
"I'm ery ruch at your service, Mr.
Tabor," I said.
"You may perhaps wonder what this
Italian has to do with us all. That, at
least. 1 can tell you. He was a sailor on
one of my ships In years past, and when
tho girls wer " Hn paused. "When
Lady wa a little girl, you understand,
wo took quite a voyHge for Mrs. Tabor's
health. Sheila was Ladyjj nurse and a
very pretty slip of an Irish Ibfs she was.
Naturally v.e took her along, and tho
rest is one of those whimsies of fate that
you can never explain. This Caruccl fell
In love with her; what attracted her waa
more than any one of us could imagine,
but at any rate she married him. Mar
ried him as soon as we got back to New
York. Well, after that things gradually
went wrong The man got a taste for
drink, which Is unusual-the Italians
aren't a drunken people and although I
kept him on against my captain's advice
for Sheila's sake. In the end 1 had to let
him go. From time to time, when there
has been trouble, we have taken Sheila
Into our family to give the poor woman
some protection, though her loyalty
makes it pretty hard to do much for her.
Caruccl. however, resents our Interfer
ence, and pretends that we force her
from him. He Is becoming ery trouble
some." Mr. Tabor lighted a cigar, puffing it
slowly throughout his stor. He talked
very easily; and I was ashamed of my
self for wondering whether hn was telling
all the truth Perhaps my encounter with
him had made me suspicious, but I could
not forget that Dr. Held had given Ca
ruccl money. I felt uncomfortable, and
with the mental discomfort I realized
that I had been through a sleepless and
violent night, and that I was very tired. I
must have shown some shadow of this
sudden weariness, for Lady rose from
her chair decidedly and stretched out her
hand.
"Now you must go back to your room
and get some sleep, Mr Crosby. You
can come back this evening If you like
we should have the evening papers by
then, and we shell see how much notice
has been taken of us."'
Oh, I'm all right ' 1 protested,
'You nre tired out," said Lady. "I
know. I'm tired myself, and I" she
stopped, flushing.
Her father was looking at us with half
a frown, and it was to him that I turned.
"Well, then, I'm off," said I. "but I'll be
back to help you dissect the Associated
Press."
1 had not thought that I could sleep
during the day, or even rest, except from
worry. But the strain, and perhaps oven
more, the relief of tho last twenty-four
hours, must have relaxed mo morn than
I knew; for I did sleep soundly until
lato in the afternoon. When 1 returned to
the Tabors In the evening. Mrs. Tabor
was still invisible; and the others were
seated about a big lninp in the living
room, busy over a pile of last editions.
Tne floor was strewn with open sheets
from which wild picture and wilder
wurds stared upward.
"Come In and bo thrilled," was Lady's
greeting. "You're an unknown slayer and
a mysterious criminal. Wo aeem to be
sufficiently notorious, but thus far wo
remain unidentified."
"Outrageous, the tone of these things,"
growled her father. "I never realized It
before.. They haven't got our names,
though "
As for Dr. rteld, his mind was so con
centrated upon the matter In hand that
ho barely looked up for a mechanical sa
lutation and plunged again Into the abyss
of journalism.
"How Is Mrs. Tabor?" I asked, "and
Mrs. Caruccl la she badly hurt?''
"Oh, mother's rerfeetly well. She was
tired a little after sitting up for us, and
went to bed early, that's all. And fihclla
Is doing splendidly."
Dr. rteld came abruptly to the surface
"Fine. Fine. Very rapid recovery Blow
only glanced along the bone. No fracture,
no concussion. Strong vltalltj, too. As
tonishing what resistance those unh -glonlc
people have. Soon be all over It."
"Look here." Iady broke in, "here's a
bird's-eye view of the tenement house,
with no, jfs an X-ray view, tho walls
are transparent. 'Arrow points to room
In which Mrs. Caruccl was discovered.
ros marks location of blond stain; Inner
room with disordered bed; dotted line
shows how the body was carried down
stairs." Sec. they've got little pictures of
us carrying her down, on each floor. And
here's the automobile starting away with
me leaning out of the window."
"And lgnettcs of Carucrl and the po
liceman, and a fancy sketch of Sheila,"
said I. "Like those early Italian paint
ings, where they have two or three succes
sive scenes on one canvas."
"This Is about the fullest account, too.
Its pretty nearly all here, except who
wit arc. Caruccl Is in custody.' Do you
suppose they Interviewed him?"
"I doubt it." said her father. "It was
probably the tenants and tho men In tho
street." .
"Listen to this," put In Dr. rteid, with
an indignant snort. "Outrageous, tho
flippant way this sheet takes everything.
Send a clever young ignoramus to write
up Important surgical caaes. Poke fun
at everything. Listen:
" 'Antonio Caruccl is a true son of Nep
tune, born, as his name implies, under
tho shadow of Vesuvius. He goes down
to sea In ships: and. like all good
mariners since old Noab himself, returns
with a throat parched by many days of
briny breezes. Last night, being new
landed from a long cruise. Giuseppe
sought solace in the flowing flagons of
Chlantl, until, when he tacked through
the breakers of niver street toward the
beacon light which his lass kept ever
burning In her wifely window, he had
almost forgotten his own name and the
rosy aromas of his national potation.
Arrived at his domicile, Gercnimo fell
Into a deep sleep, with a sinuous string of
spaghetti clasped firmly In his corded
hand; and as he slept, he dreamed a
dream.' Then It goes on to treat the
whole affair as a hallucination, distort
ing or evading all the facts. Ridiculous
account Rubbish, Perfect rubbish."

Q. "What materials are In the stars?"
A. Goode, Ban Francisco.
A. The spectroscope shows the lints
so far In this tejearch of forty-five ele
ments well known here in the earth.
Hydrogen exists in all stars In enormous
quantities. Iron and a number of other
metals likewise are Incandescent In the
sun, and in nil other suns bright enough
to send rays Into the grating for analy
sis. An element named coronlum Is now seen
glowing in the envetopes of the sun; but
It has not been discovered here on
earth yet. Helium was seen In the sun
for a number of years before It was fin
ally discovered in the earth. Stars vary
In the character of the rays emitted,
therefore all suns are not alike. And the
differences In their ages.
Q. "Doeo the speed of a falling body
Inorease uniformly namely, 16.1 feet flrrt
minute; end of first minute 32.2 feet, end
of second minute, ti.i feet?
2). If 32 3 feet is the specific speed,
what Is the weight of a falling body to
acquire such speed? Otto Trlch. 1W
Bowery. New York.
A. All wrong. A falling body having
fallen during one exact second, not min
ute, falls 1S.1 feet At the precise end of
tho necond It has acquired a specific
velocity of it 2 feet per second. This
carries It 32 2 feet during the second
second, and this, sdded to 16.1 feet,
equals 4S.3 feet distance fallen during
tho second second. And at the exact end
of tho second second, the acquired veloc
ity is M.I feet per second, and so on.
(2) One grain or one ton will both fall
with same speed: so will a feather In a
long vacuum tube. Yes, the speed In
ci eases uniformly at all points near the
earth's surface.
Q. "Can you describe an absolute
nothing out beyond the etais?"
A. No. I am totally unable to combine
words Into any description of beyond the
stars,

Tho V.ttect nf Color on thr SUIn,
Most shades of blue arn becoming to
tho brown-haired girl with bluo eyes. Tho
color of her eyes Is apt to be a deeper
blue than In the case nf the blonde and
is Intensified, not faded, by the Juxtapo
sition of tha same color. If the hair Is
red, no shade of blur should bo attempted.
Pale pink ami salmon pink arc often be
coming to a red-haired womnn, hut, aa a
rule, shn looks best In pure white or
black, which simply form a background
for her own vivid coloring.
A dark woman with marked color can
wear both rod and the lighter shades of
rose and pink. If she Is at all sallow
she will find these colors trying, and a
better choice Is cream or pale yellow.
Purple IV especially becoming to pale.
dark women and the same type generally
looks well In warm browns that point
out the darker tlnu of the hair.
Broun Is a safe color for ifiost women.
for tho reason that the' majority of Amer
ican women have brown hair. The mod
ern rule In choosing colors seems to bo
to match either the color of the eyes or
the hair, and, while tills Is better than
our grandmothers' syslcm, It lias Its pit
falls. As I, have explained, all blue eyes
cannot stand tho nearness of blue, and
the same Is true of a too general use of
brown; In some cases It kills the life and
color In the hnlr. Ho In choosing a brown
costume 1k sure the shade either matches
the hair or is sufficiently darker to form
a relief.
Young girls with a clear, rosy complex
ion ran wear nlmost jiny color to advan
tage; the problem Is far more difficult
for the woman past youth or one with n
discolored, sallowed or muddy skin. Pink,
lovely on the plnk-cheekcd girl, presents
qulto a different aspect on the rosy
cheoked matron. Ah women grow older
the natural pink of the cheeks Is apt to
be less clear and It often taken on a
bluish or magenta line. When this point
Is leached all shades of pink or rose
should be discarded. White is universally
becoming; It enhances the beauty of a
fresh skin and softens the defects of a
sallow one. The darker shades of blue
all have a bencricent effect on the com
plexion and can safely be adopted by
women or an ages,
