BEWARE OF HUN
WARNS EX-GRAND
E OF RUSSIA
Brother-in-Law of Late Czar
Says Allies Must Watch
Germany Which Hides
Hate for Revenge.
Pans. Feb. 4. The former grand
Juke, Alexander Michaelovitch,
brother-in-law of the former Rus
sian emperor, who has arrived
Paris, as he declares, "not for po-
' litical purposes, but to make known
the truth about Russia." savs in an
interview in the Matin that the al
lies must beware of Germany in
Russia. s
"France has every leason to save
Russia," he declared. "If you do
not intervene now, be sure,that Ger
many will intervene in its own time.
Beware of Germany. That people
which now is at your mercy, hides
within itself a hate which will find
its( first revenge in Russia.
"A league of nations or a society
of peoples is much talked of. It
remains to be seen if the nations will
not have dealt themselves a mortal
blow by hesitating too long to
cleanse the Russian sore which
threatens to contaminate the whole
world."
Former Omaha General is
Decorated by the French
Paris, Feb. 4. Brig. Gen. Charles
G. Dawes of Chicago and formerly
of Omaha, received the grade
of commander of the legion of hon
and was also notified that Bel
gium has awarded him the Order of
Leopold. These high honors are
based on his successful labors as
president of the purchasing board of
the American army and the Ameri
can army representative of the mili-
-ary board of the allied supply.
The legion of honor decoration
was awarded through the recom
mendation of Marshal Petain, who
was made marshal of France upon
his entry into Metz, the Alsace Lor
raine stronghold.
Enormous Illicit Still is
Unearthed Near New York
New York, Feb. 4. Discovery of
an illicit still where vast quantities
of "moonshine" whisky and alcohol
were being manufactured was made
today at Valley Stream, Long ' Is
'and, about 16 miles from New York,
cco:ding to agents of the federal
internal revenue service. Three al
leged "moonshiners" were arrested.
The plant was found, it was said, in
l cooperage and barrel factory,
tvhich had been in operation as such
for more than ten years. In one
shed the revenue officers located
pipes leading to an enormous under
ground tank, which was filled with
liquor.

CHAPTER XVI.
"If only he didn't dance so divine
ly," she thought, as the next mo
ment they glided surely and dexter
ously through the dancers, avoiding
the lumbering heavy ships which
bore down on them. All at once, a
memory of what he had told her
came into her mind.
1 tnougnt you were going
abroad?
"I am day. after tomorrow.
All her antagonism left her. She
did not know why, but the knowl
edge that he was leaving, that he
would go out of her life, changed
everything. He was going that
was the essential thing.
"I ve been trying to snub you, but
you wouldn t let me, she said
gently.
Because I guessed too much?
"I don't admit you guessed right.
she said, laughing in some confu
sion. However, I ve been horrid.
Forgive me?"
I hadn t noticed it, he said
pleasantly.
He doesn t the least care what
do," she thought angrily. "He
thinks I am throwing myself at
him like a hundred other women.
am a little idiot."
In a moment, she stopped him.
"Floor's really too crowded and
beside, you don t enjoy dancing like
this."
"It is crowded."
When she came to her seat at
the table, she looked at him with a
smile, which she was far from feel
ing.
Don t be polite. Go back to Mrs.
Dellabarrs."
Laracy passed: she summoned
him and turned into the crush again.
But this pointed revenge brought
her no satisfaction. Why had she
accepted the dance with him? Why
had she sought to excuse herself
and, above all, what had possessed
her ill-humor? He was sitting be
side Irma she could see him from
ime to time and he did not even
take the pains to notice what she
did.
She began to flirt openly with
the other men, tolerating even Bar-
risdale, trespassing recklessly, feel
ing that in the smile she gave an
other she was punishing him.
In truth, her success was easy,
for she was the only one to whom
pleasure was young. To her, it was
not a mental intoxicant but a natur
al impulse. This rushing progress
from restaurant to restaurant, this
delight of music and rhythmic mo
tion, the hundred little episodes
which sent them into peals of laugh
ter, were all of the sparkling sur
face. She saw nothing below the
sheen of pleasure, neither the flight
from boredom nor the lurking shad
ows of covetousness and frenzy. To
her, this world was really young and
nay and happy, and, eager as a
child, she succeeded in communicat
ing something of this illusion to the
rest. When 5 o'clock arrived,' and
the moment for the flight before the
da, she gave a cry of disappoint
ment. "What-already?"
The chagrin of her exclamation
"(Copyright, 1918, by Little. Brown Co.)'
was so unconscious that even Mrs
Lhalloner laughed. Barnsdale, to
whom this riotous sense of youth
was peculiarly appealing, found
moment, as they were entering the
automobile, to whisper in her ear
"Joke's on me this time. Never
mind; I don t forget, and I can
wait."
"What does that mean?" she said,
laughing. He was too clumsy to
inspire fear, a true crocodile, as Irma
expressed it. v
"Next year, we'll meet again," he
said pointblank. "and then you may
not be so indifferent.
She frowned, turned her shoulder.
and sprang into the car.
"What a stupid, heavy person 1"
she thought. "I suppose he's had too
much.
Would Bracken come in the car
with them, she wondered, looking
back. There was a moment s whis
pered consulation between Mrs
Challoner and Mrs. Dellabarre, who
immediately announced:
Monte and 1 11 try the runabout.
Meet at Garden City."
The racine car, with Irma swal
lowed up in furs, shot out, leading
the way. It was still murky; the
streets were abandoned, the lamps
sickly in the dawn which came ooz
ing heavily over the housetops. As
they left the city and rose lightly
over the spanned river, the early
truck wagons loomed at their sides,
redolent of the country. A child lay
asleep on a heap of vegetables.
Horses plodded ahead m somnam
bulistic fantasy with drowsy drivers.
Gray vapors curled along the water
front in the drifting confusion of sky
and earth. In the car they began
to sing to keep up their spirits
against the cold bite of strange
hours.
"By George. Amy. you've got more
life than the whole crowd!" said
Toddy, under his breath. "They
aren t within a mile of you.
What r.onef
"Not one. Well, you've got me.
When you want me just whistle,"
he added, with a laugh. "I'm bowl
ed over." S
"You're a nice boy. Toddv!" she
said, lightly patting his arm. with
out thinking of what she heard.
lhe next moment there came a
shriek from behind. The motor
ground to a stop. Kitty Lightbody
solemly descended.
"Kitty, what in heaven's name is
the matter with you? said Mrs
Challoner, who was sleepy and cross
"If he wants to devote himself to
you, said Kitty, with a toss of her
head, "let him!"
"What? Who? Is it Joe? Good
heavens, she s jealous."
"Kitty, come back; we all love
you, said Laracy.
Mrs. Lightbody, camped in the
middle of the Jericho turnpike at
S in the morning, sulkily refused
to budge.
"Well, see here," said Laracy. ris
ing as the diplomat; "fix it this way.
Kitty shall sit in the middle. You
don t mind, do you, Gladys?"
"Mind? I should say not I What do
you suppose I care about old Joe

sharply. This sally raised a laugh
not at all to the enjoyment of the
captain. "Kitty, stop being a fool
and get in this minute. Jos Barns
dale, what are you sitting there for?
Jump out, and bring her back."
Mrs. Lightbody, being properly
coaxed, cajoled, and threatened, con
sented to return, and, having return
ed, presently began to nod, to the
delight of Mrs. Challoner and the
captain, who made pantomimic love
before her closed eyes.
On the pike, just beyond Garden
City, they found the runabout waiting.
"Here, Gladys, said Irma, calmly
bounding out, "you take my place.
Monte's cold and sleepy and per
fectly unbearable. We've been quar
reling all the way.
Amy glanced at Monte Bracken,
who was handing her into the car.
If they had been quarreling, his face
did not show it.
"Well, it's goodby," he said, taking
off his hat and offering his hand.
You re really sailing Saturday
lucky man!" said Kitty, drowsily.
"Really off."
He shook hands with Amy. with
out either indifference or interest,
and returned to the runabout. For a
while the two machines ran together.
Then at a fork in the road, the run
about shot away and passed from
signt.
'So much for that." said Amy to
herself, "and perhaps just as well."
A feeling of comfortable virtue
succeeded. She remembered An
drew. What a lot she would have to
tell him.
At 6, just as the sun bobbed up
over the horizon they ran up to the
house. A window shade went up,
and the bushy little head of Mr.
Delabarre appeared.
'There's Rudy!" said Irma, waving
gaily. Her glance met his and turn
ed away. How long had he been up,
and what was in his mind?
They went stamping and laughing
into the dining room and sent out
a foraging party for breakfast.
"What let's do," said Laracy.
"Time for a bunny-hug before break
fast. Who's game?"
"Come on," said Amy, springing
up, "I'm just waking upl"
"Mercy sakesl" said Kitty Light
body, heavy-eyed.
She rose with a sigh, and held
out her hand to the captain, who was
yawning surreptitiously, but when,
breakfast over, her young rival de
clared it was no use thinking of
sleep at such an hour, she threw up
her hands in despair and retreated
to her bedroom.
"Good night, children not too
much noise. I have my complexion
to think of," said Mrs. Dellabarre,
with a laugh, and after a sleepy
struggle, Barrisdale likewise sur
rendered, while youth triumphant,
in the beaming figure of Jap Laracy,
was asking:
"What now? Amy's gamel Bridge,
a spin in the machine, or a dash on
the ponies?"
When flushed with a gallop in the
glow of the morning, the three came
riotously back, Andrew, who had
been traveling half the night to
reach her, was waiting up-stairs.
Amy threw herself into his arms,
laughing like a child.
"Oh, Andrew, such a good time!
Wait until you hear!"
She told him all breathlessly. That
is, almost all. She made no reference
to the one disagreeable memory of
the night,' Barrisdale's heavy over
tures. She had handled such boors
before, even as a debutante, and
there was no use telling him things
which would annoy him. Then
Monte Bracken's presence was not
her secret. At the end, his face was
radiant.
Beat them to a finish, Yum, Yum,
Go it, and mind you sweep the decks
every time I"
"Andrew, what a darling you are!"
"And now for business. I've agreed
to take up Gunther's proposition."
He began a long, detailed expo
sition of the possibilities of the ven
ture. From his face she could see
the gravity of the step to him. So
she tried hard to comprehend the de
tails he minutely explained to her.
But she was too mentally excited
and too physically tired. She un
derstood nothing at all, only that,
some day soon, they would have lots
of money if certain things worked
out. When he had finished, she em
braced him rapturously.

Tendency to
Constipation?
USE THIS LAXATIVE!
Dietitians advise a "careful diet," but that is trouble
some to most people; physical culturists advise "certain
exercises, which is good if one has both the time and the
inclination. Doctors advise diet and exercise and medicine.
The question is, shall it be a cathartic or purgative med
icine? Or a mild, gentle laxative?
Thousand have decided the question ito their own satis
faction by using a combination of simple laxative herb
with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. A small dose gives a free, easy movement of the
bowels. It is the best substitute for nature herself. In fact,
since the ingredients are wholly from the vegetable kingdom
it may truthfully be said it is a natural laxative.
Its positive but gentle action on the bowels makes It an
, ideal remedy for constipation. The dose is small, and it may
be taken with perfect safety until the bowels are regulated and
act again of their own accord.
The druggist will refund your money it it fail to
do aa promised.
