Qldele Q'arrisd,
The Tula of Rescue Which Lillian
Tells Madge
“She boarded the train at Chi
cago,’’ Lillian said, beginning the
story of her mysterious protege.
' She was acconiponled by a. woman
in a voluminous black cloak which
concealed the actual size of the fig
ure beneath, but I had the Impres
sion that she was slender. The cos
tume was completed by a mourning
hat with a deep crepe veil which
was never lifted while I watched
her. Their baggage consisted only of
r. suit case and a valise. The valise
you have discovered Is fastened to
i lie girl’s arm by a small chain and
the Key I have yet to discover.
“The woman, evidently In charge
of the girl, guided her to her seat,
as if she were an Invalid but I
thought she was trying to make
her arlions as unobtrusive as l>os
sible. I had the seat directly behind
(hem—or T would not have heard
her low colloquy with the conductor
whert he came through. She prof
fered him two tickets and he looked
sharply at the girl as he said:
“ ‘You are not going through with
her then"’
“ 'Oh, no, just to the first station
up the line,’ she replied In a voice
which struck me oddly.
fW " 'She looks ill lo me,’ the con
ductor replied, seemingly worried.
“ 'She's all right,’ the woman re
plied, ’and she has friends meeting
her In New Y’ork. 1 just wanted to
lie sure she wouldn’t be bothered
with the tlrkets. AVII1 'iou keep
them for her?’
“He's An Old Aquaintance.”
“‘Why?’ the conductor demanded
sharply. Then I bent forward and
gave him a signal which he under
stood. lie Is an old acquaintance of
mine, and often has helped me in
a piece of government work. I did
not know of course, that there was
anything wrong, but one of my
bunches had begun to bubble and
fizzle, and I decided to put, it in
action before it evaporated.
" 'I suppose I can.' he finished,
and fussed with the pasteboards to
give me time to finish a bit of writ
ing T was doing upon a card.
" 'Try to have her watched when
she gets off,' I wrote, and handed
him the card with my own ticket
when he leisurely came to me.
“He gave no sign that he had read
it, but after the woman had alighted
with the girl paying no attention to
her going, lie came lxo-te-do my seat,
his face alight with interest.
“ ‘Hidn't she act In here like an
elderly woman’.” he demanded.
"'Indeed she did,’ I returned.
" ‘Well she went down the steps
that way, too. but she whisked
around a corner in a jiffy ain^ the
man I told to watch her said she
skipped Into a big car that wag evl
^j^g'ently waiting for her and it got out
of sight in a hurry. My man got the
number. Here it is. Will you look
aft er her?’
"f promised, and took the number
he gave me. At our next stop I sent
several p.ide telegrams in the hope of j
setting some trace of the woman,
hut l haven’t much hope. It was
probably a phoney license plate, and
. 1 have no doubt that the woman was
a young and active man In disguise.
The timbre of bis voice when 1 had'
a chance to remember it bore me out (
in that conjecture."
•‘Of course you have seen, Madge. I
w hat the trouble is.” Lillian said j
after a pause, with a noil of her head
toward the room where Iter odd guest
lay asleep.
“Amnesia?" I ventured.
"Yes. of a peculiar type even of
that oddest of nil mental disenses
]tut when she was brought upon the
train she bad been drugged, there
was no doubt about It. Whoever did
it had ralculated it carefully. Site
had been able to walk with a guide
aboard the train and the full effect
did not strike her until an hour after
the woman had left.
“Saw Site Was Unconscious.”
"Before that time I had seen what
waa coming and had arranged with
the Pullman conductor to surrender
her berth ticket and mine and give
me a stateroom instead with a bonus,
of course. The girl walked docilely
enough to the stateroom, with nty
arm helping her and evidently had
no consciousness that I was a
stranger. It was only a few minutes
after getting into the stateroom that
she slumped down in her seat, and
T saw that she was unconscious.
There was a physician on the train
and he said that she was in no dan
ger that there was nothing to do
but to wait until site recovered con
sciousness. WliPn she did she ap
peared to ai-cept me without ques
tion. Only asked once where 'the
widow’ had gone. /
"The rest you kntm ,” Lillian con
cluded. “I brought her on with me
because she interested me profession
ally—and appealed to me. And now.”
Lillian sprang up and inserted a key
into the lock of the trunk which
had just been brought up.
I shot a curious glance at her. She
had not told me how or where she
had found the key to that trunk.
Had she gained access to the chained
satchel which the mysterious waif
so carefully guarded?

Husband Blame* Himself.
Pear Martha Allen: I have been
married about IS month* and my wife
and I are seriate ted. The fault lie* all
with me. T did not fee life as I
should and blamed everything on her.
I eould not see my own faith* then,
but now I see them plainly. She has
a son of o. Hip best little boy that
ever lived. 1 have children of my
own. but lie is dearer to me than any
of them. It Is about three months
since she left me. Twice I Journeyed
to where I was told she was and
found her the second time. But she
seems to want to avoid me. I have
I only talked with her about 15 minutes
since 1 found her.'but she seems to
want to stay by herself. Don't you
think she should give me a chance
fo prove to her that I want to make
amends for all the suffering I have
caused her? T really would give my
own life for her. 1 never took a drink
in my life and work every day and
the only pleasure I have In life nowr
Is trying to help her and the boy get
along. Don’t you think 1 have a right
to do that, as I love them both above
all things in this world? JIM.
T suppose one has a right to make
another happy—If one can—since one
surely has no right to make another
unhappy. But unfortunately you
made your wife very unhappy evi
dently before you made up your mind
It was north while to make her hap
py. You say yourself the fault was
entirely yours. Consequently your
tlnklndness to her was multiplied, in
her eyes, by extreme injustice, on
your i>art. You will have to begui all
over and gradually build up that re
spect and confidence and trust tq you
which Is apparently gone. This you
can do, it you ate prepared to have
patience enough, and realty want to
make amends to your wife. Indeed
you owe it to her and to yourself.
Certainly she should give vou the
chance to prove to her that you want
to make amends, but just what con
stltutea that "chance'' should be left
for her to decide.
Mr*. Koborg: Vou were right The
bureau of naturalization Informs us
that a child born of foreign parents
In this country is an American citi
zen,
Mrs. S. O. S.: Bobbed hair is not
as fashionable as It was. We will
have it with us for a long time, I
think.
Worrying: Have you found out the
reasons for your parents' objections
to your young man and weighed these
reasons well? Talk the matter over
with them and ask them if they will
not heroine better acquainted with
him by allowing you to have him In
your home more often. Perhape If
they knew him better they would
withdraw all objections.

A STRANGE RIGHT
A big. fierce looking gray dog
stood guarding the palacfe gate. The
prince started toward hlni, his sword
m his hand. The dog. however, did
not move, even when the prince
came quite close. He seemed to be
asleep, standing up.
"This Is certainly very queer,” re
marked the prince to himself, but
he pushed on through the golden
grate of the castle, and stepped right
Into the great, hall.
He walked past the palace guards,
■landing stiffly with tlislr muskets
*p,n their shoulders, and all snoring!
* Wondering more and more, he went
On Into the throne room.
The place was full of ladles arid
gentlemen, some standing np and
•onie of them sitting down, but every
•ingle one was sound asleep.
Full of curiosity, the prince went
cm to explore the rest of the palace

for signs of Pyorrhea
Just as .the stability of a building is depend(!nt

healthy gums.
Bleeding gums are the first sign of Pyorrhea's ap

Forhan's For the Gums contains just the i ight pro
portion of Forhan's Astringent (as used by the dental
profession) to neutralize oral poisons, and keep the
gums in a firm, strong, healthy condition. Even if
you don't care to discontinue your favorite denti
frice, at least start using Forhan's once a day.
Forhan's is more than a tooth paste; it checks Pyor
