At a resort hotel, Kernochan, a wealthy re- tired broker, shows Ainsworth a large ruby ring, a present to his daughter upon her engagement to Ernest Van - tine, a detective. The jewel Kerno- than acquired in settling a claim against the estate of Henry Adams, Boston millionaire. The deal appears on the surface to have been a swindle.

I "I dropped your ring; I am sorry," I replied. As I spoke the lights carne on again. The ring was not upon the table. For a moment there was silence; then Vantine's pop eyes grew hard. "I don't see the ruby, Mr. Ainsley," he said suspiciously. "It must be upon the floor," I re- plied. I tried to keep my voice steady, but failed lamentably. At any rate, Vantine crossed the room, and before I realized his intention, had locked the one door of the roorn. "It will have to be on the floor," he said. I stared at him. "What do you mean?" I demanded. "Nothing—if the ring is on the floor," he retorted. I will say for the Kernochans that they were embarrassed by the sudden situation. The daughter spoke. "Of course it's on the floor, Ernest. We'll find it—" "You bet we will," assented Van - tine. I had not liked him before; I hated him now. Yet, trying to assume an air of injured innocence, I joined their search. And there was no make- believe in my aid. I knew that unless one of us found the imitation ring, I would not be permitted to leave this house. I would be searched, and, that might he dangerous. Yet after fifteen minutes in which all four of us had. combed the rugs and the corners of the room, Vantine straightened up. "7tT&1i, we've given you a fair hence Ainsley," he said.

In my presence they held a council of war, and the upshot of their conversation was that Vantine started for the telephone, to call the police. Speaking mildly, I stopped him. "Of course you understand," I said, "that I shall bring suit for eriminal slander and for false imprisonment. It seems to me that a man in my posi- tion ought to be able to collect sub- stantialdarnages—say, a quarter of a million." "A damned saleak-thief would col- lect nothing," snarled Vantine. Yet he paused. "Quite true," said I. "But we are not discussing a criminal; we are dis- cussing a gentleman of position." "You have that ring; at least, you know where it is," declared Vantine. "It didn't vanish into thin air. And this is paste." He indicated the copy which lay upon the card table. "And aside froin the large sum which I shall certainly collect as dam- ages," I went only calmly, "there is something else to be considered. You are the head of a famous detective agency which bears your name. If you declare that I have stolen a ring in your very presence, and are unable to prove the theft—and you can only prove it by finding the ring—what sort of an advertisement will it be for your agency?" I let this sink in; I enjoyed the ex- pression on Vantine's face. Pop -eyed men should never permit themselves to look angry. They are unbeahtiful at best, and at their worst they are extremely offensive. "You don't think we're going to let you go?" blustered Vantine. "I don't think it; I know it," I re- plied. "And if this nonsense ceases at once, I shall let the matter drop. Otherwise—" My pause was a threat. I saw the cunning in Vantine's eyes. Yet I despised him so thoroughly that I underrated his abilities. He whis- me retain the ring. I could have slip- ped it out of my pocket at any time clueing this past quarter of an hour, but I had been certain that we would find the paste copy. And then, just as I .was tightening my muscles, pre- pared to fight my way out of the situation from which wit had failed to extricate me, Kernochan cried out in excitement. He was wearing an in- formal sort of evening dress, a baggy affair of heavy -material, the dinner suit of a man who wishes to accent the difference between night and day, but who also wishes to be extremely corn- . of these latter my paste ring had fal- len. Kernochan bent over and re- trieved it.

So, when Vantine turned to ine and gruffly stated that I was at liberty to,leave, 1 bowed, and turning to go, abstracted the ring from the vanity bag which Miss Kernochan had placed again upon the table. Oh, I was still an amateur in those days. Also, I was too confident in my own wit, and too given to contemptuous appraisal of the wit 'of others. For, just as we reached the door, Vantine said: "I think we'd better search you once again, Ainsley." I suppose I went white. I should have known that no one but an utter fool would have permitted ine to de- part so easily, and Vantine read my hdrror. He turned to his fiancee. "If you'll leave us again, Alice, we'll search this man." "A! sneak thief would collect no- thing." She uses a headband of ivory satin on a hat in black jersey -straw, adds a wide brim to the ballibuntl cloche of the young girl and trims it simply with a black grosgrain band. On other models she catches the strip of ballibuntl that crosses the front of a shiny black satin toque, featuring, with an elaborate orna.ment, the long side effect that droops close to .the face. Felt hats are changed by using two- tone felt in becoming colors and hav- ing a swirl come to a point in the front of the hat and extend down over the ear. Or again, it is crossed high on one side and low on the other. This crown effect is worked out bet- ter with one stiff material, such as satin used with soft felt.

The hats, as a rule ,are still the skullcap type, de- veloped in a comi;inationof the new 'popular ballibuntl, made up in a mod- ernistic design with some other ma- terial, and having a sharp, turn -up brim. It has become the vogue to wear the semi-precious stones for color ac- cent on the patsel frock. Yellow to- paz, turquoise, amethyst, all the stones that are genuine but not of the first water, are used as bracelets, long necklaces and chokers. The deep brown carnelian, the sea -blue lapis lazuli, the cloud -pink rose quartz all gleam in relief against dark frocks. On hats, also, the jeweled ornaments stoll continue to be used, and further elaboration is seen in the hats com- posed of tiny flowers or feathers, or even those with wisps of costly veils. Fashion has tipped its favor from the tiny, mannish hat to the excessively feminine one, but for the majority of women the moderate hat, neither too severe nor too elaborate, will be the safest tribute to fashion, 80 well as the most becoming style.

Britain Perfecting First Submarine Plane Carrier While discussion continues in this country regarding the problemof sur- face craft as airplane earriers, suc- cessful experiments are being made in England to perfect the first submar- ine airplane carrier. Although experimentation has been going on for nearly two years on this unique problem, the. first pictures showing the work whichhas been ac- complished to date have just reached this country. The British Navy has converted the M-2, one of her older submarines, into an aircraft carrier. The admiralty's view on the problem was that an air- plane is merely another weapon and in the case of the M-2 is an addition to her gunnery equipment. The housing problem for the plane, while the submarine is submerged, is one in the construction work which gave the most difficulty. The plane is housed under the forepart of the conning tower construction, and the "hangar door" is a specially built'roll- type door of light metal construction. A erane is mounted atop the turret for hauling the aircraft aboard after alanding. The take off is made from a catapult erected on the forward deck of the submersible, ments like this that I rise to my great- est heights: 1 simulated a weary con- tempt. I walked across the room, and if my brain seethed with wrath at myself because I had been fool enough to think that the imitation could de- ceive people who had held the original in their hands a moment before, I do not believe that my face reflected my thoughts. Upon the table lay a vanity bag that Miss Kernochan had carried. put myself between ray three accusers and the t -able, half turning, as I did so. My right hand was hidden from their view for less than a quarter of a see- ond, yet that was time enough for me to effect a transfer of the Grand Duke's ruby from my waistcoat pocket to the :vanity bag.

This may save you a bad spill if you are a speed artist. Have you ever thought of lightly setting the emergency brakes when the rear wheels won't take hold in the mud? This cuts down the wheel speed and makes for a steadier pull in the mire. Don't use the service brake for this purpose, if your car carries four-wheel brakes.
