BY NANCY BART MAVITY.

Don =worth's, wifef formerly the
actress Sheila O'Shay, disappears. Dr.
Cavanaugh, criminal psychologist,
learns that their married'ife has been
very unhappy.
Peter Piper a Herald reporter, tries
it, interview Dr. Cavanaugh. Instead he
meets Barbara Cavanaugh. and ands.
that she wee engaged to Don Dilworth
before his marriage.
A body is found, burned by fire, in
the tule marsh. The only thing hY which
the body can bo identifiedIs a patch of
scalp with some hair attached. Dr. 'Ca-
vanaugh asks Don Ellsworth and Mrs.
Kane, Sheila's maid to secure for him
a strung of Sheila's hair. They both re-
fuse. But Dr. Cavanaugh gets it. Peter
Piper hopes for advance information and
Dr. Cavanaugh tells him the body is
that of Sheila O'Shay, and Barbara, who
is present, faints when she hears this.
CHAPTER VIh—(Cont'd.)
"If you're sure there's nothing I
can do—" Peter ,said hesitantly. It
Seemed somehow heartless to leave
her like that. It did not occur to hint
that he had left bodies strewn by the
roadside after a wreck in order to

Feeling very much like a small boy

of himself, he once again crossed the
street and jerked "Bossy" into gear.
It was only with the familiar hard
smoothness of the wheel under his
hand that his mind lurched into clar-

that he fought it off with an almost

"Talk to me about it later," he said
brusquely.
"But she's on the telephone—" the
society editor expostulated.
"I don't care if the Angel Gabriel

Peter leaned his elbow_ against the
wire mail basket, tipping it at a peril-
ous angle.
"1 didn't go to the city hall—" he
began nonchalantly.
"The hell you didn't!"
The familiar elixir of the local room
was having its effect on Peter. He

have deliberately kept away freest
them through fear of what she might
read? It was a futile but very coins
mon defence which led people unsin-
seionsly to act as if 'what they did
not know for certain was therefore
non-existent.
She had fainted just after her fa-
ther's announcement that Sheila 0' -
Shay had been murdered, Was there
n connection there? She bad once 'peen
engaged to Don Ellsworth—and she
did not want the fact to be known.
Was she protecting Don? Or was her
father—who, come to think of it, bad
been very anxious to get rid of Peter;
before Barbara should fully regain
conscio'.sness—protecting her? Was
he afraid of what she might say when
she once again realized the discovery
from which she had recoiled into un-
consciousness?
Peter faced with tightened lips and
sick :yes the last question of all. Was
her friendliness toward himself a de-
liberate device to secure him on her
side—because he might find out too
much? 'Was she using .the age-old
chicanery of women to beguile and
confuse inen? He recoiled, despising
himself for the. suspicion. But his dis-
like of the idea did not make it any
theless possible. After all, the me-
thod, if it was a method, had been r)is-
coneertingly effective! But he knew
the danger of believing what you want
to believe, and he forced his .mind to
meet squarely the image of her face.
"Damn it all," he grunted. "I don't
know—but I've got to find out!"
CHAPTER XVIII.
Peter'sface, minus its usual bisect-
ing grin, looked long than ever when
he dragged himself wearily across the
local room to Jimmy's desk, He felt
physically battered. The familiar din
of the local room typewriters, the
shout's of "copy boy," the "bling" of
edition fifteen minutes over the dead-
line. Give us a short lead. Then get
the slippings on Cavanaugh and write
a good `follow' story for the 'home'."
Peter lounged across the room to l.is
desk, thrust a sheet of copy paper
into the carriage of his typewriter,
and typed his name in the upper left
corner.
The face of Barbara wavered be-
fore his eyes—the face of Barbara,
white, with closed eyes; the face of
Barbara with the broad, childlike
brow and the smooth hair 'halve
straight back;' the face of Barbara
With the determined chin telling hint
that she was a "guttersnipe." The
face of Barbara--
"Pfper!" the voice of Jimmy at his
elbow was a rumbling growl. "This
is a daily newspaper, not a biennial
edition of 'Who's Who.' We're hold-
ing the presses for you!"
Peter thrust the face of Barbara
nit of his mind. When a story had
to be written, it had to be written --
in spite of day and night and death
and hell." The line, forgotten since
high school days, flashed out of the
darkness. Resolutely he summoned
the old habit of concentration. But
it was easier to ignore the world out-
side—the room with its voices and
bells and clattering confusion—than
to blot out that other, inner confusion
which made his thoughts a clamor of
questionings.
He hammered out a lead—jerked'
'out the sheet and tore it up—flung
the wadded scraps on the floor in the
general direction of the waste -paper
basket --and begat again. His fin-
,gers pounded rapidly, steadily, clack-
ety-clack, •pause--clackety-clack on
the keys of the battered typewriter,
As each sheet, of copy paper was
whipped out of the carriage, .with
"more to cum" typed at the bottom,
a copy boy at his elbow whisked it
out of his hand and ran with it to
the city desk, waited for Jimmy's
rapid perusal, and ran again to the
copy desk, where he sent it hurtling
down the tube to the composing room.
The city editor bent over his desk,
with a man from the art room,ar-
ranging a lay-out—Cavanaugh, 1)00

Peter himself took the last .sheet
from the typewriter and laid it on
the city desk.'
Jimmy looked up.
"That's a pretty good yarn;" he
Said.
It was the highest pinnacle of
praise to which a member of the
"Herald" staff could be lifted. Jimmy
reserved his superlatives for the un-
important. He unloosed the full in-
tensities of his vocabulary on a mis-
placed initial in a two-inch item; but
when by a joggling of captions the
mayor of the city was labeled "Bank
Embezzler," all that he had said was
"Oh dear!"
"You look all shot to pieces," he
added. "Go out and get.a good lunch
and then walk around :for h'alf an
hour. Here!" He thrust two silver'
dollars across the desk to Peter. "The
lunch is on the house." He had re-
membered that it was the day before

of the local room staff were likely to

the two in passing. He ought, to feel'
elated instead of tired, and dry: in the
mouth as if he had been eating chips.
Peter had written good 'stories before.
But for the first time in his life he
had written a good story -and did not
care.

"Where is Happiness"
The last article written by the
late Dame Nellie Melba appears in
the Australian Woman's World, It
contains delba's views on happi-
ness. She wrote:—
"Where is happiness?" It is to be
found in the world all about us, in
the stillness of a summer night, in
the pride of a good thing done, in
the flush of a summer dawn, tate
following of an ideal, the strong
grip of a friend, the perfect heart of
a rose, or the wild sweetness of a
song. It is always very near.
"You may come upon it at tate
very next turn of the road.
"The secret of finding it? I can-
not tell you. I know that fame
alone does not bring it, and I know
that it is within the reach of a11,
young or old, rich or poor, celebrat-

and conviction, tenacity and kindli-
ness, a ready smile and a wilting

What of the Future?
Now all is changed. For better or
for worse, d dare not say, beauty be-
ing so unaccountable and modish a
creature. But I am, a little disturbed
about the future. If Assyrian rams
why not Jersey cows? If acid -pink
peonies why not blood -red beetroots?
And if chicken' bones why not ham
bones, or, for the matter of that,
calves' feet?
Beauty specialists, too, will . be
forced to follow the prevailing mode.
Already a great many of the adver-
tisements for beauty culture depict ds
lures, illustrations of women who
would have been regarded by our fath-
ers with unaffected aversion—women
with noses like razors, and tiny tri-
angular mouths, and wispy, rat -tall
eyebrows.- In a few years' time the
eyebrows will have disappeared alto-
gether, or be tattooed on the top of
the forehead, and, for all I know, the
nose may be removed,. too,
Meanwhile, it` is highly probable
that the mouth will have developed In-
to a rare, complex, strangely tinted
blossom. Even to -day mouths are more
and more camouflaged. It is extreme-
ly vieux jeu to parade an ordinary
Cupid's bow. One must slash it single
line, in raspberry or magnets, or even
a sort 0f purple,
Tho wax dummy alone is a eulli i-
ently striking example of the way in
which our tastes have changed. Wax
dummies once formed the most virtu-
ous class in the community. Now they
are terribly depraved, with their heavy
lists, their thin, twisted bodies, and
their slinking poses, They used. to
Luse schoolgirl complexions. Now
they are weird and Ivan. Like many
modem women, in fact.
Acquired Taste, After All
Boauti, atter all, is an acquired
taste. Sometimes I wonder, in gloomy
moods, if it would be better never to
acquire it. In any case, the sense of
beauty is strange, passing compreben-
sion.
Why should we say, "This patch-
work must be thus and tions—it must
not deviate a partialo from the accept-
ed rule—we must not attempt to bet-
ter it—tor this is beauty—and all else
is false?"
Yet still, deep in my heart of hearts,
I feel that my sould will never awaken

Without the manganese, glass would
