to run away. A11 manly grit—what he
possessed of it—had been knocked
out of him. and he could only whim-

Lambert to act.
Garvington was not quite so down-
hearted. as he knew that his cousin
was anxious to consider the fair name
of the family. Thinking thus. he felt
a trifle reassured, for the forged let-
ter could not be made public without
a slur being cast on the name. Then,
again, Garvington knew that he was
innocent of ,lesigning Piue'h death,
and that, even if Lambert did inform
the police, he could not he arrested. It
is only just to say that had the little

decided that after all Silver was but
a feeble creature who could be easily
managed. What Freddy forgot was
that he lacked pluck himself, and that
Silver, driven into a corner, might

sight of the secretary's deadly white

that he was at bay.

THE A.B.C. OF SKIN CARE
Few women possess naturally
lovely skins, and even these must
take precautions lest they suddenly
lose so priceless a heritage. The task
of nurturing your skin will be simpli-
fied if you know something of its
functions.
Besides being a covering for the
body, the skin acts as an outlet for
certain secretions (perspiration, for
instance, i$ a natural one). There are
countless pores in the skin, and any
impurities that lurk in the blood-
stream may escape through these
pores—with resultant pimple., 10111

The white looks of the roan, the
disorder of the room, the glare of the
many lights, and the real clanger of

thrill to Garvington. He shivered and
looked into shadowy corners, as Sil-
ver did; then shrove to reassure both

brandy to keep him up to concert
