FIRST EPISODE.
The Vanishing Jewels,
It is summer, and in old .St, Cloud
mecca of the'1aiisian visitor and of
Parisians, therevfs no spot so gay and
beatuiful as Pavilion Bleu, .
"It is lovely to be here,! said the
,- wealthy Eleanor Van Nuys to the
youth who, sat beside her on the
veranda, "but it's not so nice of Pat
to keep us wainiyg."
A half-humail smile spread itself
over the face of the sallow -faced
youth as he managed to respond: .
"She'll be along soon, I'm sure, Per-
haps she has stopped At Longchamps
for a look, at the paddock."
The lawn was brilliant with its gay-
ly dressed throng moving about es the
nnisic played or sitting at tables in the
pleasant afternoon shade, sipping
brandy or coffee se individual" taste
should elect.
"Pat loves it here—but she's such a
'tomboy,' she sbocks even these gay
Parisiennes sometimes," Mrs. Van
Nuys resumed. ��
"And that would take a bit of doe
ing," responded the youth at her side;
"Perhaps .this is the lively Pat, right
now," the young bran continued, his
attention being attracted, by an auto-
mobile dashing up the gentle slope.
"Sure enough, it is she," Mrs. Van
Nuys declared. Her sallow -faced
companionrose from the table to
greet the vision of loveliness that fair-
ly danced toward them, waving her
arms above her head and gayly laugh-
ing• in the joy of the moment.
The 'tomboy' Mrs. Van Nuys had
referred to was her niece, Patricia
Montez—called, by her acquaintances
as well as her intimate friends, "Pat,"
because the shorter name seemed to
better fit her hoydenish nature. She
lived with her aunt, who had reared
her from childhood, with all the care
and tenderness a mother could lavish
upon. her own daughter,
"Aunty, dear; at last I'm here,"
cried Pat, with another gay laugh.
With the veranda crowded, Pat was
most radiantly beautiful of all the
company of fair Parisiennes and tour-
ists.
Small wonder that the gaze of
,every man in range was directed to-
ward Mrs. Van Nuys' table.
"They stare so at me, aunty," the
girl protested in mock displeasure.
"And I don't blame them," the
youth at the table interrupted. .
"Silly Maurice," said Pat, taunting-
ly. "You are only half alive; -how do
you know?"
"But I have eyes—and they are all
for you—"
"Be still," was Pat's sharp retort.
"I came here to enjoy myself in my
own way, and not to listen to your
silly chatter;"
Sauntering toward their table Pat
abserved a tall, dark, handsome chap.
His eyes moved quickly over the as-
seenbled crowd, fixing themselves only
for an instant upon Pat's pretty face.
In that flash of an eye, the man mht
a coy and defiant glance from Pat
with coldness and indifference that
sent the blood coursing to her pretty
cheeks in resentment, Flirtatious
a,. and frivolous though she was, Pat
kept within bounds and always relied
upon her aunt aschaperon to keep
away unwelcome intruders.
This clank man's eiident disdain net-
tled the beauty, and Pat stamped her
dainty -foot upon the floor of the ver-
anda peevishly.
"Maurice, if you must say some-
thingt'to me, tell me who is that tall
dark man who• has just turned away
and is moving toward the lawn ?"
"That's Phil Kell'," was his answer,
drawled indifferently for Pat's in-
formation.
"That's very little news," said Pat.
"Very little indeed I should say,"
chimed.. in Mrs. Vast indeed,
"Well then, he's Phil Kelly, the
. Sphinx."
be so perverse, Maurice,"
urged Pat.
"All right; listen, and I'll tell you
all. Phil Kelly, known as the Sphinx,
is one of the cleverest detectives in
Paris—yes in all Europe. I've met
him, and have heard all about him
from , many sources. He's devilish
clever and lives at Hotel des Ambas-
sadeurs.,. Now you'know•as much as
I do about your hero."
"Phil Kelly,eh?" the girl kept re -
putting to herself, as •if studying a
fanciful situation. At last she said
to her companion:
"Maurice, be a good chap and in-
troduce me to' -this wonderful sleuth,"
"I'll do it, willingly. But I warn
you he is a woman hater, and may
make short shift of the introduction."
"Never mind me," Pat said gayly,
adding in self -praise, • "I never saw the
Man yet who wouldn't be at least civil
to me, and I don't think Sphinx Kelly'
will prove to be any exception." .
When the young folks, arose to go,
Mrs. Van Nuys • raised a protesting

hand, and said to Pat: •

you in serious. trouble some day—and
this Kelly; why are you so eager to
make his acquaintance?"
Pat inclinced.her beautiful head and
with her pretty lips close to her aunt's
ear whispered; •
"Just now he gave•me a disdainful
look, I'll show him that he can't
pass mo by, even in a crowd, without
a second look. I'm not used to it—"
"Oh, my child e" itis', Van Nuys.
started to protest, but before she
could speak further -Part and Maurice

the way, Maurice followed dutifully,
on, until they saw •through the swirl

indifference.
"Won't you One us at :our table?"
she urged,

doffed lits hat, and turned abruptly
away. Pat was dumfowrded and hu,
miliated by Kelly's rude rebuff. Her
eyes flashed and her cheeks flushed
cruneon, For an instant she stood
regarding Kelly's retreating figure.
"How the deuce he could resist your
loveliness is more. than I can under-
stand," said the youth.
Two house later Pat was in her own
dainty boudoir,
"He shall be made to regret his sur -
1y action•. --I'll make him ridiculous,
I'll make the Sphinx the laughing
stook of Paris. Ile shall regret his
conduct-" and as. Pat's mind dwelt
upon her plans for Kelly's humilia-
tion the tears of rage and disappoint-
ment that had coursed down her
cheeks were soon brushed away.
Pat lit a cigarette and composed
herself comfortably upon the co}ich.
For a few moments :.she devoted her
self to a plan of action.
"It will be a great adventure, at all
events; something different than these
dull society folks can offer in their
teas and parties," Pat said half aloud
as she rose from the couch and seat-
ed herself at her writing table. Soon
elle had written a note, addressed the
envelope and calling Jacques, the but-
ler, instructed him to have it deliver-
ed.
When Sphinx Kelly recieved the
note lie read a taunting challenge to
his vaunted skill:
"If you are as clever as your friends
give you credit for being, why don't

"Auntie, dear, let me look at your
heirlooms," Pasaid upon emerging
from her boudoir. ' "You are to wear
them to -night at the ball, and I would
like to look at them before you put
them on."
Mrs. Van Nuys opened the secret
wall -safe and drew forth a satin -cov-
ered jewel case. From the dainty re-
ceptacle she selected an elaborate and
costly diamond necklace and placed it
around Pat's snow-white throat.
"I'll put them away, auntie," said
the girl, after the jewels had been
duly examined and admired. But in-
stead of including the necklace among
the gems returned to the wall safe,
Pat slipped the heirloom into her
bodice and accepted her first opport-
unity to again transfer them to a
drawer in her dressing table.
"You must send my dashing hero,
the Sphinx, an invitation, auntie,
dear," said Pat a few moments later.
(To be continued.)
THE RE -AWAKENING WORLD.
The Miracle of Spring is a Parable of
Spiritual Re -birth.
"Immanuel Kant used to say: 'Two
things fill me with unutterable awe,
the silent stars above me and the mo-
ral law within me."
"Most thoughtful persone must
have felt this speechless awe as they
looked up and within," writes Dr.
Rufus M. Jones, in The Friend. "But
there is one thing which fills me with
profounder wonder than Kant's silent
stars and that is the re -awakening of
the world in springtime. It seems
Some of these mornings as though we
might hear the sons of God once more
shouting for joy as they behold the
new miracle of re-creation going on.
If we were not dulled by habit and
made callous -by seeing the miracle re-
peated, we should look upon this new
stream of life with those large eyes
of wonder with which the first Adam
saw his fresh -made world.
"I atn''not surprised that men in all
ages have taken this re -birth of the
world in spring as a parable of a
deeper re -birth. Long before there
was a Christian Easter, with its sym-
bols of flowers and eggs, men cele-
brated the opening of the flowers and
the hatching of the eggs because they
saw in these events a gateway into a
deeper mystery and were touched with
wonder as to whether the soul might
have its re -awakening and its new
career of life.
"That Power that guides the unfold-
ing of the acorn and pushes up the
oak, that Mind that brings the gorge-
ous butterfly out of the dull cocoon
and raises it to its new and winged
career, ,may well know how to 'swal-
low up mortality withlife,' and bring
us and ours to a higher stage of be-
ing. This new and greater miracle of
another life beyond does not -stagger
us much after we have fully entered
into the wonder of the spring. It is no
more difficult to carry a soul safely
over the bridge of death into the light
and joy of a new world of life than itoften causes the can to swell at the You get on with the Carleton." clinging to the eoof the sir o the dug -

it often is not true cf eggs used in
cakes, puddings, and other desserts
along with meats. It is .in the let-
ter use of eggs that the housewife
who wishes to economize can try es-
pecially to curtail consumption. A
fact which makes this latter practice
easier is that with the present avail-
ability of baking powders, corn starch,
gelatin, etc., the use of eggs to insert
lightness or to thicken liquids is not
essential as it was in the past.
The principal food element furnish-
ed by eggs is protein, the tissue -build-
ing element whose presence in cousid-
arable proportions also gives meats,
fish, milk, cheese, etc., their special
food value. Eggs can, therefore, be
substituted for the later foods without
materially altering the proportion of
Protein consumed. In addition to
protein, eggs also furnish fat an$ a
number of valuable mineral elements,
including sulphur, phosphorous, iron,
calcium, and magnesium, in an easily
assimilable form, and are believed also
to be rich in certain essential vitaliz-
ing elements called vitamins.
Like milk and unlike meats, eggs
do not contain substances convertible
in the body 'into uric acid. Their
shells constitute the only waste ma-
terials. Ninety-seven per cent. of
the portion eaten, a high proportion
compared to other foods, is digested.
No extended cooking is necessary for
eggs and there is, therefore, a saving
in time, labor and fuel as compared
with many other foods.

alacrity. Not only did he love his

The youth sat down greatly abashed
and the sergeant leaned bade against

ec1 off. The information which he had
heard his officer_ discussing proved al-
together too much for Duffus to con-
tain alone, and once he saw the ser-
geant sound asleep he shot his thun-
derbolt.

"The officer said the Germans
would attack at dawn."
He spoke almost in an ;undertone,

Just because there is not` a "Parker" Agency near
you is no reason why you should do without "Parker
Service.''
The excellence of our work is so well known that
it need only be mentioned here.
But the convenience of our service by: mail to distant
customers is not. Articles of any sort cell besent us
either by parcels post or express, and returned inthe
same manner. We pay the carriage charges one
way. Every precaution is taken to ensure their
safety in transit.
So many things can be "rescued" by cleaning or dyc•.
ing that the value of this service will be apparent to
everyone.
When you think of cleaning or dyeing, think of PAI."ICER'S..
