Size of Women’s Hands
Glove manufacturers say that they
now make a No 6 woman’s glove
larger than they did five years ago
This is because women have become
more athletic and thin hands have
accordingly grown larger But the

they still insist on wearing the same

CHAPTER III
The gray was fluhlag with
Halt from the coming sea when n
loud knock la epa the entrance door
aroused the soldier on gusrd In tbs
hs!L
"Open the door!" n voice shouted
peremptorily "Tsiro! Pierre! A
thousand devils! Yon fbola Inside
there open the door I nay!"
The disturbance brought Orelolr
from his Improvised couch at th rear
of the hall and climbing the ladder
ha pushed his head through tbs bra-
kes window for n night of who might
bs outside
“Who are you?" demanded th
young man ntandlng before tbs door
his voles Indicating nurprlse as bs
looksd at th face of tbs soldier sbovs
feinie
“That Is what I should Ilka to havo
you tell ms of yourself m’sleur" an-
swered Gretolre In his usual dry man-
ner his not over friendly eyes noting
the details of the ntilre worn by the
aristocratically clad visitor
“Dame!" now exclaimed the latter
evidently mors angry than before
"Wbnt business can It be of yours?
Who are you that dare cavil over
opening to me tbs door of my father’s
house r
“He la but one end there are two
of us to handle such a cockspnrrow
aa I could easily overcome alone with
one band" said Grelolre scornfully
aa the bars fell and Etienne entered
somewhat paler than usual and hla
batr and raiment disheveled from an
all-nlgbt’a concealment In one of the
outbuildings of the chateau
Wishing to see the baron In order
to press bis demand for more funds
the young man had unannounced
come down from Paris and chanced
to arrive the evening before during
the wildest part of the melee
He was by this time accustomed to
“And springing upon Etienne drove
such outbreaks and suspecting quick-
ly the position of affairs had lost no
time in finding a biding place in a
grove not far from the house
At the tidings of his father's death
a new expression came to Etienne’s
face softening its coldness but this
quickly changed when In reply to his
query as to who was in command of
the escort Grelolre answered “Lieu-
tenant Bonaparte"
An oath that made both soldiers
stare burst from the young man’s lips
“I will go to my apartments” he
added with a return of all his haughti-
ness “and do both of you see to It
that I am not disturbed by your offl-
cer” With this he stalked through the
ball and up the stairway shuddering
as he passed the blood-stains upon the
floor
Etienne’s steps on the upper stairs
and along the oaken-floored ball
brought Tatro to the door of the room
where lay the two wounded soldiers
one of whom was evidently dying
while the other was sleeping quietly
“Ah Monsieur Etienne is it you
sir?” Then correcting himself with
“Pardon — Monsieur le Baron” be
burst forth in a quavering voice “It
is surely a sad return for you”
Somewhat softened by the old man s
words and now realizing more fully
the horrors of the night before Eti-
enne replied In an unusually kind
fashion But when he ended by or-
dering that a repast be brought to
his rooms Tatro’s face showed a sur-
prise he dared not voice for he won-
dered that his new master could think
of sflstenance for himself so soon af-
ter coming upon the scene of bia re-
cent loss-
Margot had slept little during the
night but lay thinking of what
changes were likely to come now that
the baron waa dead An Intuition
warned her to secure the money and
valuable which the baron bad in-
trusted to her care: to take them from
their present hiding place and have
them at band in case some additional
disaster should come And too hear-
ing in mind her master' command
that she remove Jean from Etienne a
role in case of that befalling which
now had come to pass her perplexed
brain had at length evolved a plan
which seemed both wise and feasible
But before attempting to put It Into
execution a curious Impulse urged
her to take the young officer Into her
on fide nee looking up Into the raid
clean cut face Induce her she ashed
“hou will not leave here teday Mon-
sieur?” “Perhaps I cannot deride until
later"
“Before you go monsieur I would
take It aa a great favor should you
let ma ask of you some advice aa to
a matter concerning him you seem to
lore- And she glanced at Jeaa who
waa standing la the doorway with hla
tArk til t hem
Tbs officer If he felt any surprise
showed none for he answered her
with kindly assurance lie then Joined
Jean and the two went below where
breakfast awaited them
The two dead soldiers were hurled
early In the afternoon: but the stars
were coming out when the door of
the great vault waa closed and th
late baron left to sleep with hla an-
cestors Etienne silent and repelling stood
by vouchsafing little notice of anyone
about him Jeaa had taken care to
keep away from hie half-brother
and the latter replied with ecant cour-
tesy to the lieutenant's salutation
when they met for the first time aa
the baron’s body waa borne from the
house
Margot was not of those who had
stood about the tomb Eltlenno'a tem-
porary abaenca from tha house being
assured she bad Improved the oppor-
tunity to open the secret panel and re-
move the metal bos and bags of coin
which ahe hid away amongst her own
belongings Sha proposed with Jean
and Pierre to seek a new home in
Toulon where n large number of Roy-
alists together with other who bad
suffered persecution from the Revolu-
tionists had found refuge
Presently ! saw Etienne enter
the drawing room where Jean had
remained having refused to leave the
the rusted blade Into hla aide”
lieutenant who was now seated at a
table examining some papers found
upon the dead Fauchel and consider-
ing this an opportune time to make
known her plans she bad turned
toward the door when Etienne’s
voice full of Its old-time arrogance
came to her
“Jean leave the room Instantly and
go to your bed!”
Margot paused In the doorway and
saw Jean's bead raised with a bel-
ligerent poise “I will not go for you
Etienne when you order me In such
a rude fashion” be said his voice
shaking with rage
Uttering a vile oath Etienne strode
forward and seizing him by the col-
lar dragged the boy from the chair
and began striking him
“Monsieur Etienne do not you do
that!" cried Margot rushing toward
him “Ah mon Dieu! How can you
have the heart and at such a time
as this?”
Jean was struggling in a wild fury
using feet and hands to defend him-
self which he did In a way that
brought to the lieutenant's mind the
scene of two years before In the Tuil-
eries garden
“Hold Monsieur le Baron ” he said
distinctly and calmly “I have the
right to tell you that you cannot thus
assert your authority in my presence"
Etienne as once before released
Jean and turned to face the speaker
to whom the boy now rushed cling-
ing to him with a storm of passionate
sobs coming partly from anger and
partly from a bruised heart
Margot bad drawn nearer to bis
side and as Jean’s sobs ceased the
three confronted Etienne who now
burst? into a loud derisive laugh
“What can a bastard and the
friends and champions of a bastard
expect better?” he demanded now
peaking deliberately bl pale face
distorted by malice
Margot started Indignantly - an
angry flame springing ltto her eyes
and the lieutenant said In a low tone
whose very calmness was a menace
“It la scarcely the act of a gentleman
to Insalt the defenseless and the
dead"
"Insult!" cried Etienne now letting
loose all the vials of bia hatred and
malignity “Peate! How can be be
other than I call him when hla mother
was no wife?”

for repetition— an epithet that stung
to madneae the listening boy who
with g cry of rage such aa might
coma from n new Cain wakened to
life snatched n dagger from n brle-a-brae
strewn upon a near-by table and
springing npon Etienne drove the
rusted blade Into bin aide
The alight form reeled and fell
crumpled heap upon the floor while
Margot with g shriek that brought
tha soldier flying from hla post In
the hall fell npon her kneea and
tried with her apron to stanch tha
flowing blood
Jean bad turned to flee but an Iron
grip on bis shoulder held blm and
looking up ba fell to trembling and
shivering aa be met the atern eyes of
bia friend looking aa ba bad never
before seen them
“Where would you go?" Inquired a
low voice whoae measured calm
matched the look of the eye
Tha boy stood silent
The lieutenant still holding him
fast moved to where Margot and the
soldier ware kneeling bealde Etienne
and Jean met the wild-eyed regard of
the wounded man from whose white
tips now poured a flood of profanity
mingled with threats of vengeance
against the boy whom be ordered to
leave the apartment
The lieutenant turned away with a
scornful laugh half-suppressed but
which Jean heard and taking heart
tha lad looked beseechingly upward
aa if asking pardon for bis mad act
“Come away— come away my De
Soto" whispered the officer and
bending he kissed the tear-wet cheek
“He has a venomous nature truly and
one cannot be greatly blamed for
treating a dog as he deserves”
Then gathering up the papers at
which he had been looking he thrust
them Into hla pocket and motioned
Jean to follow him from the room
Here Margot Joined them on bet
way to summon Tatro that he might
assist the soldier In getting Etienne
to his own apartments
Early next morning the household
was astir— all savo Etienne who al
though his wound proved to be but
slight kept to his bed with Tatro In
attendance and before noon all but
these two had left the chateau and
set out upon their various routes—
Margot with Jean and Perry for Tou
Ion In company with the soldier Gre
loire sent by the lieutenant to escorl
them
At a fork In the highway where
their roads parted Jean turned In his
saddle to look after the slender fig-
ure riding away at the head of his
men
Turning his head as If he felt the
boy’s longing eyes the lieutenant
smiled and waved his hand Then
putting spurs to his horse he rode
swiftly from sight followed by his sol-
diers After a last backward look toward
the vacant space that had held the
one he loved best on earth Jean
start-d his horse onward to overtake
the lumbering vehicle driven by
Pierre and containing Margot and all
the travelers’ belongings
’ (To be continued)
He Obeyed His Orders
John was the new English butler in
the employ of a Philadelphia family
When John first came he was told by
the mistress of the house that she was
always at home to her sister who
was a frequent visitor to the house
The sister in question was pointed
out to John on her next visit and
the mistress was satisfied in her mind
that John would obey orders
Every time the sister called John
would admit the welcome guest with
reverent respect It was her custom
to ask him before entering If his mis-
tress was In and it always happened
that ahe was bo John would nod and
profoundly bow her In
But one day it happened that his
mistress was out when the sister
called When John went to the door
she as usual asked If her sister was
in to which John nodded in the
affirmative and bowed her In John’s
business at that moment took him out
in the yard and he left her In the
parlor
Divesting herself of her wraps the
visitor began to look for her sister
but seeing no signs of her downstairs
concluded that she was on one of the
upper floors and went upstairs Of
course she failed to find her and
thinking that the butler might be
mistaken went downstairs to Inquire
of him again 8be found him out in
the yard and calling to him asked if
be thought his mistress bad gone out
as she could not find her In the
house
John after meditating a moment
replied:
“Tea mum she h’ls h’out"
“CRt!" exclaimed the sister "why
I thought you said she was at home?”
"Tea mum" came the solemn re-
ply “but she-tol’ me that she wes al-
wsys at 'ome to you!”— Llpplncott’s

' - — “WHACK"
And What They Mean
When Old Mother Nature gives yon
n "whack” remember “there n rea-
son” ao try and aay “thank you"
then set about finding what yon have
dona to demand tha rebuke and try
and get back Into line for that's tha
happy place after alL
Curious how many highly organized
people fail to appreciate and heed the
first little gentle "whacks" of the
good old Dame bat go right along
with tha habit whatever It may be
that cauaea her disapproval Whiskey
Tobacco Coffee Tea or other unnat-
ural treatment of the body until seri-
ous Illness sets la or some chronic
disease
Some people aoem to get on very
well with those things for a while
and Mother Nature apparently cares
but little what they do
Perhaps she has no particular plans
for them and thinks it little use to
waste time In their training
There are people however who
seem to be selected by Nature to “do
things" The old Mother expects them
to carry out some department of her
great work A portion of these select-
ed ones oft and again seek to stimu-
late and then deaden the tool (the
body) by some one or more of the
drugs— Whiskey Tobacco Coffeo
Tea Morphine etc
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids In Chemi-
cal analysis They stimulate and then
depress They take from man or wom-
an the power to do his or her best
work
After these people have drugged
for a time they get a hint or mild
“whack” to rfraind them that they
have work to do a mission to perform
and should he about the business but
are loafing along the wayside and be-
come unfitted for the fame and for-
tune that waits for them if thoy but
stick to the course and keep the body
clear of obstructions so it can carry
out the behests of the mind
Sickness is a call to "come up high-
er” These hints come In various
forms It may be stomach trouble or
bowels heart eyes kidneys or general
nervous prostration You may depend
upon It when a “whack” comes It’s g
warning to quit some abuse and do
the right and fair thing with the body
Perhaps it Is coffee drinking that
offends That Is one of the greatest
causes of human disorder among
Americans
Now then If Mother Nature Is gen-
tle with you and only gives light littls
"whacks” at first to attract attention
don’t abuse her consideration or sha
will soon hit you harder aura
And you may he sure she will hit
you v6ry very hard If you insist oa
following the way you have been go-
ing It seems hard work to give up a
habit and we try all sorts of plans to
charge our ill feelings to some other
cause than the real one-
Coffee drinkers when 111 will attri-
bute the trouble to bad food malaria
overwork and what not but they keep
on being sick and gradually getting
worse until they are finally forced to
quit entirely even the "only one cup
a day” Tnen they begin to get bet-
ter and unless they ba& gone long
enough to set np some fixed organic
disease they generally get entirety
well
It Is easy to quit coffee at once and
for all by having well made Postnm
with Us rich deep seal brown color
which comes to the beautiful golden
brown when good cream Is added and
the crisp snap of good mild Java Is
there If the Poe turn has been boiled
long enough to Lring it out
It pays to he well and happy for
good old Mother Nature then sends
us her blessings of many and various
kinds and helps us to gain fame and
fortune
Strip off the handicaps leave out
the deadening habits beod Mother
Nature's hints quit being a loser and
become a winner She will help you
sure if you cut out the things that
keep yon hack
