From just behind him over his shoulder a large reflector threw the powerful light whose re. fracted•rays had penetrated even into the outer ball; back of 1110 easel and at 0110 side where the artist could ob- tain the best view of it stood a small, improvised model throne with three steps and a section of balustrade, and back of it again the drawn shades over a row of half -opened windows flapped in the little, hot breeze which had sprung•up with tha passing of the threatened storm. A long table covered with scattered tubes of paint and brushes, .a few plaits chairs and many canvases of various sizes stacked again the walls completed the furnishings of the workmanlike studio, the ceiling of which was one huge skylight of glass, and the detective turned back into the luxurious living room, his hand me- chanically searching for and finding' the light switch in the wall, Instantly the soft glow of many low, opal -tinted lamps sprang into being and revealed the sheer beauty of the arrangements of the room, but Sergeant Barry's eyes searched only for some sign of disorder that would indicate ,hurried flight, and finding none, he opened the door at the back.

"Tile infant who is 'quietly sooth- ed' whenever he cries develops into a child that Is calm and contented and not cross and ill-bred, as one would frequently make mothers believe.

He paused. Framed in the hall doorway there had appeared a tall, middle-aged man clad in a tattered dressing gown, with a lean, smooth - shaven, irascible face upon which astonishment struggled with resent- ment.

IIer portraits are danger- ously near caricatures, for some per- verse impulse has seamed to guide her brush although so subtly that her clients themselves have rarely detect- ed that sardonically revealing touch or two, but the critics have raved about her genius."

'Nowadays, people take Aspirin for many little aches and pains, and as often as they encounter any pain. Why not? It is aproven anti- dote for pain. It works! And Aspirin tablets are abso- lutely harmless. You have the medical profession's word for that; they do not depress the heart. So, don't let a cold "run its course." Don't wait for a head- ache to "wear off." Or regard neuralgia, neuritis, or even rheum- atism as something you must en- dure, Only a physician can cope with the cause of such pain, but you can always turn to an Aspirin tablet for relief. Aspirin is always available, and it never fails to help. Familiarize yourself with its many uses, and avoid a lot of needless suffering. SPIREM TRADE MARK REO.
