tisement. EASY WAY TO
HEAL COMMON
SKIN-TROUBLES
A Baltimore doctor suggests (his simple,
but well-tried and inexpensive home
treatment for people suffering with ecze
ma, ringworm, rashes and similar Hon
ing, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist's get a jar of
reslnol ointment and a cake of reslnol
soap. These are not at all expensive.
With the reslnol soap and warm water
bathe the affected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the skin
is softened. Dry very gently, spread on
a thin layer of the reslnol ointment, and
cover with a light bandage, if necessary,
to protect the clothing. This should be
done twice a day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stop with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be
comes clear and healthy again unless the
trouble la due to some serious internal
disorder. Samples free, Dent 7-S, Res
lnol, Baltimore, Md.
Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos con
tain too much alkali, which is very in
jurious, as It dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain mul
sified cocoanut oil, for thla la pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soapa or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
81mply moisten the hair with water
and rub It in, about a teaspoonful is all
that U required. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and Is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. Advertisement.

ThCle Mary Page
By Frederick Lewis, Author of
"What Happened to Mary"
(Copyright, 1915, by McClure Publications.)
CHAPTER r.
(Continued from Testerday.)
But the paralysis that bound her
snapped like an over-taut wire when she
saw Pollock's hand slipping back to hU
hip pocket. Now she matched savagery
with savagery. When, In answer to her
cry of warning, Langdon struck up the
treacherous hand and sent the revolver
spinning to the floor. It was she who
sprang forward and snatched It out of
reach of the groping flngera of the
fighters.
She was realizing how that the older
man was no match for the clean-Umbel
lawyer, and Pollock himself. In spite of
the fictitious strength born of the brandy,
waa beginning to feel a foretaste of de
feat. He knew he could not win with hU
hands, and, robbed by chance of hia re
volver, hla bloodshot eyes searched the
room for a weapon and fell at last upon
the slender little sword which was part
of Mary's costume. A "prop," but a
dangerous one, and inch by inch h?
fought, not to beat back langdon, but
to reach the corner where the sword
stood.
Feeling him giving way, Langdon
pushed hotly forward, raining blows like
s flail until, with a cry of triumph, Pol
lock twisted away from him and caught
i'p the glittering, sharp-pointed weapon.
But it was not Laqgdon whom he faced
aa he awung back; it was Mary Mary,
with a stern, white face and livid lips,
; with his own revolver In her hand.
"Go!" ahe breathed. So fiercely, ao
contemptuously she uttered the single
word, that without a sound he dropped
the rapier and slunk out like a beaten
hound.
ftlll holding the revolver, Mary stool
listening till the sound of his footsteps
died away, then, turning with a shiver
of repugnance, laid the revolver down
among the dainty silver of her dress
ing table. H struck an Incongruous note,
but it wss not that that made her
ees widen and her lips suddendy
tremblo it waa the reflection of her own
face and one white shoulder from which
the laces had been turn away.
' Hhtverlng with dread, she lifted her
hand and made aa if to touch the snowy
flesh, then with a cry flung her arm
across her eyes to shut out what she
saw.
"Phlllp-Phillp-r thought It was
there!" she wailed. "Oh, tell me It's not
tell me it's not" and flinging herself
Into his arms she burst into tumultuous
sobs. . v
As if the tears were a nreconcerted
signal, the hovering men now crowded
Into the room. Daniels, still livid with
emotion; Ciex; two voluable musicians
who had arrived early for a final or
chestra rehearaal; the atage crew In
their overalls and even Jerry, unable at
last to atay away. But It was the cry
of Gez that roused her.
"My Ood! the won't be fit to play to
night this ends the show!"
"Tonight?" she echoed, lifting her head
and pressing her palms against her tarn
pies. "Tonight? 1 had forgotten to
night!" "But tonight Is the only tiling you must
remember," put In Philip sternly. "You
must forget all that haa just passed and
think of Nora."
"I know." she breathed, stifling back a
sob, "I know!" Then her head went up
with a piteous bravery, and a smile
crept through her t'ars as, turning to
FIRST NATIONAL
SELLSJUILDING
A. . Cook of Chicago Buys Struc
ture as Investment Leases
It Back.
TO USE IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR
For 1200.000 tha First National
bank building, southeast corner of
Thirteenth and Farnam streets, has
been sold to Albert E. Cook, a
wealthy real estate owner of Chi
cago. He buys as an investment, says
President F. H. Davis of the bank.
The latter adds that all the bank fix
tures, vaults and safes are Included
ir the transfer, and that Mr. Cook
may contemplate using the banking
room for some similar institution,
when the First National vacates to
occupy Its own new building at Six
teenth and Farnam streets.
Tha building probably will not be
altered. President Davis asserts, but he
says he does not know what other hank
ing concern might take over the banking
quarters.
I, easy Room Back.
The big aale was closed Wednesday,
when title and possession paused to Mr.
Cook after extensive negotiations. It was
made subject to all existing leasea. The
First National bank and affiliated Insti
tutions Immediately rented their present
quarters from Mr. Cook, until December
1, and will remain there until the new
building Is completed, which they expect
to be about November 1.
The property Is W IB feet In slse,
with a five story stone and brick building.
The purchaser Is known In Omaha,
although he never lived here, and this is
his first acquisition of Omaha property.
He is a heavy holder of Improved real
estate In the North Side In Chicago, and
also of Iowa farm lands near Odebolt.
Latham Davis of the First National
bank, a brother of President F. II. Davis,
secured the purchaser for the bank. Cald
well and Bradford of Onawa, la., repre
sented Mr. Cook In the deal.
The First Trust company will continue
to handle the rentals in the building.
START TO SINK CAISSON
HOLES FOR BANK BUILDING
Work on the caisson foundations fot
the new First National bank building,
Sixteenth and Farnam streets. Is now un
der way. The first salsson hole waa
started Tuesday, and Manager Nagel,
local representative of tha architects,
saya he will soon be able to judge how
deep the caisson will have to ba sunk.
A total of thirty-seven are required to
give the fourtoen-story building a solid
foundation. It Is ninety-five feet to rock,
but if satisfactory ground Is found at a
lesser depth the caissons will not be put
down that deep, he says.

the director she said gently, "I shall be
ready tonight, Mr. Gex. Nothing In tha
whole wide world shall interfere with
my work now! Phil If you'll wait a bit
outside my door, I'll dress."
With murmured rasps of relief which
grew to voluble gossip outside, tha men
shuffled through the door; but when
Langdon was on the threshold Mary's
voice stopped him.
"What shall I do with the revolver,
Phil?" she asked, and there was a tremor
In her voles. "I don't think David ought
to have It."
"I should say not," he said shaply.
"Better keep. It for your ' own protec
tion." Mary shivered at the words, so om
inous In their suggestion of the possible
repetition of the scene just past, and her
fingers trembled ss she drew on her
filmy blouae.
"1 can cry tomorrow." she whispered
to her own reflection. "Tomorrow I can
be Just a woman; but tonight I am Mary
Page, the atar. Tonight I am Nora!"
And as If the mere word was a
draught of fresh power, she smiled away
her tears; and when she pinned on her
smart little hat, her hands were steady
and her eyes bravely serene.
It was a serenity that did not falter
even when Pollock sprang out of the
shadows st the doorway with an Inco
herent plea for forgiveness; abasing him
self huskily in a last desperate cry for
pity in the name of his love. But there
waa no pity in Mary's glance when she
looked Into Ills bloodshot eyes and when
his voice faltered Into alienee his own
tones rang crisp and cold.
"I do not understand your kind of Jove,
David, and I cannot forgive you again.
I can only beg you never to speak to
me that I may have at least a chance
to forget."
With head erect she went forward to
where Langdon wss waiting by the taxi,
but with er foot on Its step she turned
again and said distinctly:
"I have kept your revolver for my own
protection."
Nine words coldly spoken snd over
heard by half a score of casual loungers.
Nine words that were 'aoon forgotten
amid the rush and excitement of the
triumphant hours thst followed, but
words thst slipped like a flame from
Up to lip with the coming of another
day.
To Mary herself the words meant lit
tle, and were Indeed no more than a
girlish bit of bravado a rebuke and de
fiance In one and It was as such that
Pollock received them, overshadowed aa
they were by the greater hurt of her
preceding worda.
Ha wlnoad at tha thought or his de
feat at Langdon s hand and his cowed
retreat from Mary's room, but it waa
her chUl, "I do not understand your
kind of lore, David." that bit the deep
est. Why couldn't she understand? he
aaked himself bitterly. Didn't she real
ise that there was a heart hunger be
side which tha pangs of physical star
vation were as nothing? Couldn't she
understand that there waa a love that
was like fire in a man's veins? Had ho
been so dumb In his pleadings that ha
had taught her nothing end did tha faot
that he paid her the highest honor he
could in asking her to be his wife count
for so little.
The endless questions became a tor
ture to him, ss he strode up and down
the narrow street, with the eyes of hia
chauffeur furtively watching him.
