"Yes it's grand weather" admitted
the detective ami with that comes-

I he costumer measured him with a
professional glance. "I know" lie said
"I .111 make you n that sour own
mother won't know sou "
Allingfnrd was critical and exacting
while expert hands transformed him
When the disguise was complete he
examined himself with the mirror and
pave a grunt of approval. His Rrav.
droojuim mustache had hecome well
waned and auhiirn with iiointrd ends
His
scanty hair also had a tince of
the same color and had heen I rushed
so that it appeared twice as luxuriant
as it was in realitv. A rvor and die
had worked wonders with his eye-
hrows. He wore his own clothes and
was as neat a ever hut it would have
needed keen eyes to detect any like-
ness to the nun who had entered the
estahlishment
"Yes; I think that oujht to do" he
commented.
Unless a person were keenly oh-
ervant or suspicious he would he very
unlikely to guesj that the front door
of 7(14 firanville street. I'iccadilly had
not heen out of sight of officer! of
police for six or seven days.
It was a quiet house solid looking
and tesiectahle a residence which
would nnt have shamed a cabinet min-
ister. A luxurious motor brougham
had just driven away when Allinfcjrd
walked briskly up the broad stone
steps and pressed the bell. The door
swuiiK smoothly bark and a ponder-
ous footman in olive green livery
ronfrooted him.
The detective fingered a rard. "Will
von take this to Mr. dlenston please'

Kested I might call."
Now Roberts is a fairly common
name. That is why Allinford had used
'It. He knew that the house had many
visitors and it was possible that Hub-
erts might be among them or alter-
natively that the occupant mijiht not
feel rertain that lie had not a client
named Roberts. On the rard the foot-
man read;
Al'DRFY I.ATIMFR M. P.
Great Southern Hospital.
His eyes wandered from the rard to
ihe owner in a measured scrutiny that
might have seemed offensive had not
Allinford been prepared for it. He
met the look with bland arrogance
"Very good sir" said the man. "Will
ou come this w av ?"

He retii'iied in a little while. "It i

"I exjiert I shall find omethini'

I here were a doen or more people
in the room which the crvant had in
cheated It was a lug apartment and
its furniture and fittings were rather
those of a club than of a private house
Prominent at one end was a kind ot
bar partly shielded hv curtains and
with two or three small tables in front
of it. Some of them v.ere occupied.
Allinford observed Verndale among
th" group at the bar and moved
toward them. Kefreshmer.ts even to
the most costly of wines were free
Put he contented himself with a mod-
est rup of tea. He wanted to keep
his head c lear.
"Yes" Verndale was saying in hi
arrogant dogmatic wav. "baccarat's all
very well to a point but I'd nearly as
soon play pitch-and toss. It's a
children's game dive me poker or
auction bridge for that matter some-
thing w ith more life in it "
One of the group - a tall young man
with a weak chin and a sc rubbv
toothhrush mustache grinned ferhlv
"There's life in your poker. Verndale "
Verndale frowned. The. last hint
seemed to have touched a sore point
"Dial's enough. Dcvine!" he said curt
ly. "Talking about poker I'm willing
to sit in. Hut we can't play here. Sup-
pose you people rome up to my rooms'
How many of us are there four? Five
would make. a better game"
His gare rested on Allinford only
for a moment. The detective was quick
to ee the invitation. "I should he i
happy to sit in. if you will allow me."
he said. "My name is Latimer." He
proffered a rard.
Verndale bowed. "Pleased to know

Verndale let me introduce lord
Tivetjey Sir Hirhard Hopville. Mr
Grander. Well we might as well have
some taxtes."
"He thinks he's roped a new mug."
meditated Allinford.
Verndale indeed seemed to have
taken a fancy tc the stranger. He in-
sisted on the doctor's sharing his cab
while the other three took a second
vehicle. P.v the time they reached the
llurhar hotel the two might have been
judging hv their manner the friends
of a lifetime.

G-D Justrite Corsets
The proper way to choose your corset is to first inquire and
know what the particular model will do for your figure. It's greatly
more important to know about the fire molding quality of the
corset than to merely have the trimming and hose supporters take
your eye. G-D Justrites are designed to overcome and correct fig-
ure defects. They have the reputation of making good figures.
There's a model for
Justrite.
No. 724 For Medium Fig-
ure. This model is very adap-
table and is not extreme in any
line. Upper portion of corset
gives a natural bust line. Def-
inite waist line. Snug fitting
across abdomen and around
hips. Back cares for extra
flesh across shoulders. The
trpecial boning in back insures
a continuous corset line avoid-
ing any abrupt ending of the
corset Made of broche
trimming. Sizes 20
