this. Her young escort would doubt-

when women sometimes glance my

ens, with or without escort.
At this very moment the polite of
New York were searching for me. As
I have recounted in a previous chap-
ter, one Swede Thomassen, a brutal
murderer, had been killed in my
apartment by the White Eagle, that
great Frenchman whom 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 newspapers were filled with ac-
counts of the finding of Thomassen's
body, and with talee of the extra-
ordinary efforts police were making
to find Robert Stickney, the tenant of
the apartment. Indeed, the news-
papers did not, coneemn Stickney.
They said that he 'had rendered a ser-
, vice to society in ridding it of
Thoma`isen. Nevertheless tine police
naturally desired to interview Mr.
Stickney. And if Mr. Stickney were
eaptu1'ei by the police, it would trete-
pare, possibly, that he was a gentle-
man

man of fortune, who had becor;,ie a
professional despoiler of the too num-
erous profiteers which the war had
created.

aban-

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 t
dis-
covery of Thomassen's body
druring those five days I had secluded
myself in the rooms which I had taken
in a modest hotel.
Bu's 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 natter for me, having paid my
hotel bill, to step into a taxi, drive
downtown and across Brooklyn Bridge

But I would not see New York

"Wait a bit," I suggested. "Before
I leap into the river to save the
drowning man, I assure myself that
he is really in danger, not merely
hysterical from fright."
The boy's eyee were contemptuous,
but the girl anticipated his refusal.
"Explain to him, Frank," she plead-
ed. "It can do no harm. He is not
a detective."
"I bowed to her, "Thank you," I
said. .
"I'm a .thief," he said harshly, fac-
ing me squarely.
I nodded. "And discovery—"
"Is certain by tomorrow morning,"
he declared.
I glanced around the restaurant.
The hour was late. Most of the pa-
trons had left. I produced a pocket-
book. From it I withdrew twenty
five -hundred -dollar bills.
His feyes widened; a whistle of
amazement came through his clenched
teeth.
"Do you suppose I can accept such
a gift?" he whispered, as though the
sight of the mo ne yhad hurt his vical
cords.
"Is death easier?" I inquired.
"You're about twenty-five," I guess-

"Do you suppose I can accept such
a gift?"
It was necessary for me to pass' their
table. And I heard the girl say:
"Frank, you won't kill yourself?"
Now, nine hundred and ninety-nine
times out of a thousand, the .person
to whom such a question is addressed
has not the slightest intention toward
self-destruction. But there is always
the thousandth case.
This boy had pride; it was legible
in his lips, in the gleam in his eyes,
the thin line of his nose. Such a per-
son might readily be proudly unable
to see any way out of a difficulty but
the doorway to death. And so, -acting
as always in my life, upon impulse, I
dropped into the seat beside him.
These alcoves in the Trevi were
furnished with broad benches whose
cushions would accommodate two per-
sons an each . side of the table. The
girl and the man sat, as though for
the extreme of privacy that the recess
afforded, against the wall, opposite
each other. There was plenty of room
for ire 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 dried out of his face, to
be replaced by a grimness hardly
credible in one so young,
"If you try to arrest me here, Pll
kill you first," he said quietly.
I shinned at him, Do I look like a
detective?" I asked,
"If you're not, why do you intrude
upon us? he demanded.
"I'rn a friend," 1 told him.

he asserted.

of horror that the youth's words had
brougllta it. Sbe rgacli.e4 aerate the
table and touched his -hand, -
"Let hien explain, Frank," she
pleaded. "It can do rvo harm."
I bowed to her. I turned to the boy.
"She's worth dying far," 1 told him.
"Equally, worth tieing for."
"Your opinions are undesired and
impertinent," he said.
"But my intentions are of the kind-
liest," I retorted. "Young man, don't
be a fool. Men hi fear of arrest, and
thre'itening suicide, are silly to think
of etaiwentions. I:ook at me, Do I
seem the sort to do en unconventional

"Let me hear yotfa reason," he re-

"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 hang it near an
open window where terhe dampness in
the night air can get to it. And when
you put a suit away for any length of
time, hang a damp towel in the ward-
robe to impart 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
better economy than two suits, one at

largely to their assistance.
It is the fragrance of the garden
that butterflies emit, though not
necessarily that of the particular flow-
erson which the different insects
feed. Various specimens have been
found to smell like sweet grass, jas-
mine, syringe, mignonette, orange
blossoms, sweetbrier, balsam or ver-
bena. A Cuban relative of the blue
swallowtail, which has been found in
Florida, is said to smell strongly of
fragrant orchids. Sometimes the
aroma is spicy. Butterfly scents have
