Madge Soothes the Strange Girl Who
Faints.
I was fully convinced that I had
to do with a madwoman as I listened
to the frantic cry of Lillian's pro
tege. and saw her eyes fixed on me
with what would have been recogni
tion In any orbs less wild and gleam
ing. But I was certain that never
had I seen any one who even resem
bled the girl. Of course her query
could he nothing else than the raving
of an Insane person. But I had heard
that one must humor a lunatic, and
I forced myself to speak calmly,
soothingly, although I am afraid my
first lmpulso was to run from the
room, calling for help.
"Why, I haven’t done anything
with nim.” I said. ‘‘But I'll help you
hunt for him if you like.”
As If my voice had potency to re
lease the spell which was upon her,
she stopped short. The wild light and
the recognition died out of her eyes,
her face again became expression
less, and her body slumped into Its
old listless posture. She looked
around the room questioningly then
at me, this time as If she never had
seen me before.
"Where Is the other lady?” she
asked In a curiously monotonous
voice.
“She hag gone down to the hotel
dining room to get something to
eat,” I answered. "Are you hungry?
Would you like me to order luncheon
for you?”
She looked at me steadily for a
few seconds, as If my speech were
an alien one, which she was trying
to understand. Then she said slowly,
still In her monotonous voice:
“No I thank you. She gave me
some hot milk a whila-ago. I think—I
•—will lie down again.”
A Chained Satchel.
She turned toward the bedroom,
swayed, and I thrust my arm under
her to prevent her falling. As I did
so It Jerked against a thin flexible
steel chain which ran down her arm
from some point hidden by her
sleeve, and ended In the small valiso
to which I s*w she still clung. The
jerk of the chain slightly loosened
her grasp upon the valise, and there
came from her lips the same Inar
ticulate cry she had given. In the
station, when the colored porter had
tried to relieve her of the satchel.
“It Is all right,” I said soothingly,
"you have It safely. No one will take
It from you.”
I was not sure that she under
stood me, but at any rate, she ceased
her Inarticulate little moans, and al
lowed me to tuck her up In bed. But
he covered the valise with the quilt
s carefully as it It had been a .
aby. She dropped off Into sleep al*
l ist immediately, hut the arm from
I hlch the valise was suspended, did
ot relax, hut remained stiffened
nd on guard.
I stood watching her. searching
ny memory for any clue to her
lf-ntlty. Crazed as her advance upon
ip had appeared, I could not rid my
self of the idea that the recognition
of me I had seen In her eyes had
been genuine. The thought stirred
me unaccountably, until my common
sense assured me that-J doubtless
bore a strong resemblance to tho
woman who evidently was the dom
inating figure in the poor girl's dazed
brain.
With fc reluctance to leave the girl
which had Its origin In a feeling as
strong as it was inexplicable to me.
I remained standing by her bedside
until I heard the opening door which
signaled the return of Lillian and
Marion. I could not rid myself of the
Impression that this strange waif
was a responsibility of my own.
‘‘The Plot Thickens”
Lillian’s nolsless entrance to the
room, a few seconds later with her
eyebrows lifted in Inquiry, Jolted me
hack to saner thinking. With a beck
oning gesture, I led the way back
Into the tiny living room, and as
quickly as possible told her of' the
girl’s astounding cry to me.
"The plot thickens,” Lillian com
mented flippantly, but I saw that the
gibe masked a suddenly awakened
line of speculation on her part. But
It was not until! ten minutes later
that Lillian asked casually:
"Did you ever know anyone great
ly resembling that girl In the next
room?”
"I've been asking myself that ques
tion,” I answered slowly, "and I am
sure the answer Is a decided neg
ative."
My friend gazed thoughtfully at
the floor for a second, and then gave
tier shoulders a Gallic shrug.
"And that's that,” she said. "Tell
me, how long can you slay In to
day?”
"As long ns you wish," I returned
promptly, "until the last train. Hi

A Doubtful Wife.
Dear Martha Allen: I am a married
woman of 29. My husband loved me
very dearly for the first four years
of our married life, and then wo had
a baby girl, and since then he has
cared so much for her that he forgets
I have any right to love from him.
Baby is 3 now and so we are getting
hack into our old ways, attending
dances and parties about twice a week.
There is a crowd of us. 12 In all, who
have good times together. Often my
husband tells me to go ahead and he
will join us later because he has to
work. I think that is all right, but
he never seems to take an interest In
me any more. Before baby came he
thought I was the only one in the
world worth notlring. Naturally I
am left atone a good deal and have to
And my own good time as best I can.
There is a man who attends the
dances who shows he Is very much
interested In me. With a little en
the prince cried suddenly, “Look!
What are those towers I see among
those tall trees down there to the

"It's a deserted palace,” replied one
of his men. "No one knows any
thing about It, but it’s supposed to
he haunted by witches. There’s p
thick hedge around it that no one
could possibly get through.”
“That's exciting:’’ cried the dar
ing prince. “X should like to sx
plore it.”
"Here’s the suit the prince was
wearing about the court before he
changed to his hunting suit, which
you'll see tomorrow'. Color it green,
with a golden belt. Slit his hat on

oouragement I am sure he would ho
even more attentive. I thought that
If I could get ourselves talked about
a little, but really not do anything
wrong, like going with him secretly,
that perhaps my husband would be
jealous and care for me In the old
way. I have the best chance possible
to do this because this man would
like to dance with me as much as I
will let him. I havo never given him
more than one to three dnnres In an
evening, but If I danced about six
times with him people would see he
was interested In me. What would
you advise me to do to win back my
husband's admiration? Do you think
my scheme Is a good one?
DOUBTFUL WIFE.
In my opinion to work on a per
son's jealousy Is mean and under
handed. I would not advise you to
encourage the man at the danres. be
cause a man who wnnts six dances
with a married woman would not
prove a desirable friend. It doesn't
pay to do anything wrong In order to
win a point. He just as charming as
you can to every one, not encourag
ing any one In particular. You will
find your husband loves you just as
devotedly even If he Is quieter In his
expression of love. Now that you
have your little girl, try to forget
your own vanity and be very thank
ful that your husband loves her so
dearly even If It seems to eclipse you.
You would suffer bitterly If your hus
band were like many men and paid
no attention to the child. I,et your
sense of light guide you and trust
that the end will be happier than It
would be If brought about by trickery.

trouble. You must fight it.
Film is that viscous coat which you feel. It clings to
teeth, gets into crevices and stays. It hides the natural
luster of your teeth.
It also holds food substance which ferments and canses
acid. In contact with teeth, this acid invites decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. And they, with tartar, are
the chief cause of pyorrhea.
So dingy teeth mean more than loss of good appearance.
They may indicate danger, grave danger to your teeth.
