tears.
I smiled as I pictured myself doing
this, Her young escort would: doubt-
less resent such an action, for I have
not reached the age when I may ven-
ture such benevolence. I am young
—not as young as the youth who ac-
eompanied her, but still of an age
when women sometimes glance my
way. Partly, too, my smile was sar-
donic. I was not the person to offer
chivalrous sympathy to weeping m•aidL
errs, with or without escort.
At this very moment the police of
New York were searching fir enc. As
I have recounted in a previous chap-
ter, one Swede Thomasscnt, a brutal
inurdeaer, had been killed
in
.^v
apartment by the Whitehg , that
great Frenchman wham I would rank
as the foremost criminal genius of his
time, did not truth compel me to ad-
mit that I have defeated him on num-
erous occasions.
The netivspanere Fere filled with ac-
ceunts of the frdingi of TThumeaeg, 11'9
body, and with tales of the extra-
ordinary efforts Felice were making
to find Rupert Sticknev, the tenant of
t ie apartment. In&ed, the iiews-
papers did not con::emn Stickney.
Whey s lid that he had renr?orcd a ser
vice to 'society in ridding it of
Thrnnansen. Nevertheless the police
naturally desired to interview Mr.
Stickney. And if Mr. Sticicnay were
captured by the police, it would trans-
pire, possibly, that he was a gentle-
man of fortune, who had become a
professional ciespeliler of the too num-
erous profiteers which the war had
created.
Now I, John Ainsley, had no wish
to disclose niy identity, my means .of
livelihood. In fact, that means of
livelihood, 1 hoped, had been aban-
doned. I had mads my stake. I in-
tended to sail for Australia- In a
couple of years I would return. I
would go to that native town of mine
where the iAnsleys were known and
respected, and would take up again
the life that I had led before the war
and the crash of my fortunes.
Five days had elapsed since the dis-
covery of Thomaseen's body. And
during those 'five days I had secluded
myself in the rooms which I had taken
in a modest hotel.
But I was always a restless person.
Tomorrow, at five in the morning, the
Celeste sailed from her dock for Syd-
ney. My baggage was already in my
stateroom. It would have been a
simple matter for me, having paid my
hotel bill, to step into a taxi, drive
downtown and across Brooklyn Bridge
to the steamer.
But I would not see New York
again for at least two years. It would
take me that long to establish myself

It was necessary for me to pass their

"Frank, you won't kill yourself?"

to whom such a question is addressed

afforded, against the wall, opposite

for me beside the youth, but not much
welcome.
I raised a hand to stop his angry
expostulation.
"I want to talk to you," I said
curtly.
The anger died out of his face, to
be replaced bya grimness hardly
credible in one so young.

rt Opinion
on the Care of
Men's Suits
Occasionally one ineots ee tailor who
will give one an insight into e few of
the secrets of his treed°,` One sttch re-
oently retired ;from his successful
/tailoring business` in London. After
many years of el servation, lie offers
to malt advice in regard to prolonglug
the 050 of their clothing that quite
upsets soma generally accepted ideas
along this line, . ^
Ilverybody knowq, for instance, that
men's suits have :considerable wOol'in
their composition; formerly, suitings
for men's wear were eompoeed entire-
ly of woolen threads, It is'thee° live-
ly fibe'rs that rnalce the air cells in the
fabric) which" insulate. the.wearer front
Ole cold air around aim, and that so
successfully shed dampness and water
from the cloth.
Most people know, too,that for the
successful pressing of men's suite,
cou`siderablo water must be used on
the pressing cloth, But in spite of the
general knowledge that animal fibers
like silk and wool are at their best
when moist, the Idea has steadily
grown that men's clothing must •'al-
ways be kept dry, Possibly one rea-
son for this during late years is that
much -cotton is being mixed with wool
for materials designed for men's suit
ings, and cotton rots when subjected
too long to moisture.
But ,for all -wool suits, technt:Al
science adds its weight to this tailor's
advice when he says
"While I was in business, my best
customers were those men who made
it a rule never to venture out without
a raincoat or art umbrella, unless
they were certain it would not rain.
Their idea was that they were saving
their suits. But they weren't. They
were, making the material deterior-
ate and wear out just as fast as it
could.
"Woolen material gets thirsty. If
You want a suit, to look well; wear
well, and last a long time, let a shower
wet it occasionally, or bang it near an
open window where the :dampness in
the night air can, get tp it. And when
you put a suit away for any length of
time, hang a damp towel in the ward-
robe to impala moisture to those
thirsty woolen fibers. It certainly will
pay you.
"It is wise to have two or more
suits, so one suit need not be kept dry
all the time. Two suits worn alter-
nately, the one not in use getting the
fill of moisture that it needs, are a
bettor economy than two suits, ono at
a time, each worn constantly till it is
shabby.
"If you can manage It, give a suit
ono day's rest to three days' wear.
And by a rest, I mean a real rest:
Place it in a drawer, so the material
that leas been stretched out of shape
can go back to its original position.
A coat cannot rest properly on a hang-
er:, There is a pull on the shoulders,
The very weight of the material is
hard on it No more can trousers rest
in a prase. Too much pressing of
trousers, in fact, is bad, for the trans-
verse threads, continually bent, will
wear thin and break.
"It is 'an excellent idea to line the
press you,use for your suits. Flannel
is`good material to use. And dampen
it before you put the coats and trous-
ers in. The creases will last longer
and so will the clothes. And if you
sit at a desk for some hours daily,
don't cross your legs. That wears out
trousers and takes out the creases at
a rapid rate.
"Do you know that a clothes brush
is one of the tailor's best friends?
Many suits brought to us were simple
brushed into premature old agel Get
a magnifying glass and look at your
clothes brush. Unless it is new, as
likely as not many of the bristles are
broken or they have ends like fish
hooks, And when you use a brush
like that on .clothes, the nap of the
cloth is injured, and the warp and
weft of the material is pulled apart or
broken.
