10 THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JULY 15; 1919. Hair OHen Ruined ' By Careless Washing Soap, should be used very care fully, if yon want to keep your hair looking its best Most soaps and prepared 'shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it The best thine for steady use is Mulsif ied cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anythng else you can use. Sne or ' two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thor oughly. Simply, moisten the hair with water and. rub it in. It makes an abundance - of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, re moving every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair . tine and silky, bright, i lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can' get Mulsif ied cocoanut il shampoo at any' pharmacy,. it's eery cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. . To Make Hair Wavy and Curly in One Night Someone has made the discovery that Imply applying liquid sijmerine with a clean tooth brush will ' actually make Straight hair beautifully curly over nightl The liquid, which is of course perfectly harmless, has the peculiar property of drying in pretty waves, creases and ring lets. It alsd serves as a splendid dress ing, keeping the hair delightfully soft and glossy. A few ounces of liquid ailmerine, ob tainable at any drug store, will keep the hair curly for weeks. It Is neither sticky nor greasy, but quit pleasant to use. It produces a curliness which is the nearest thing to "Nature's own." Adv. WATCH HE BIG 4 ICE SHORTAGE HERE BECOMES MORE SERIOUS Municipal Plant Cannot Keep Up With Demand; Small. Dealer, Able to Buy But One Load. situation in Omaha V is The ice serious. Silas Moats operates an automo bile delivery truck in the district east of Fontenelle park. He tra verses the hills and covers a terri tory not served by the big ice com panies. He has worked up a route. Yesterday he was unable to buy ice from any of the plants except the Omaha Ice and Cold Storage com pany, which agreed to sell him one ton for $8 at thpir Boyd street plant. Aioatts applied to Acting Mayor Ure for help, and the acting mayor took the ice man to the office of General Manager R. B. Howell of the municipal ice plant. I would like to sell a load of ice to this man, but we have had to re fuse others," said Mr. Howell. "We have today 5,300 tons in storage, and we are selling at the 17 'jitney' sta tions all we can make at the plant, plus ISO tons from storage. Even by careful management I do not see how we can avoid running out of storage ice before the end of Aug ust, and then our capacity will be what we can produce at the plant." lhe manager of the Morz Ice and Beverage Co., at 9 a. m. yesterday, re plied, when Moatts asked for a load of ice: "We have talen all of our ice out already. We have not any on hand." i THE WOMAN IN BLACK By EDMUND CLERIHEW BENTLEY . Copyright. 1111, by Us Century company.

The Wife of Dives. Mrs. Manderson stool at. the win dow of her sitting room at White Gables garing out upon the, wavering landscape ot tine ram and mist the weathr had broken as it seldom does in that part in June. , White wreath ings drifted up the' fields from the sullen sea; the sky was an unbroken gray deadness snedding pin-point moisture mat was now ana men )lown against the panes with a crepi :ation of despair. The lady looked out on the dim and chilling prospect with a woeful face. It was a bad day for a woman bereaved, alone and without a purpose in life. There was a knock and she called, "Come in i" drawing herself up with an unconscious gesture that always came when she realized that the weariness of the world had been gaining upon her spirit. Mr. Trent had called, the maid said: he apolo gized for coming at such an early hour, but hoped that Mrs. Mander son would see him on a matter of urgent importance. Mrs. Manderson would see Mr. Trent. She walked to a mirror, looked into the olive face she saw reflcted there, shook her head at herself with the flickr of a grimace, and turned to the door as Trent was shown in. His appearance, she-noted, was changed. He had the jaded look of the sleepless, and a new and reserved exprssion, in whiche hr quick sensi bilities felt something not propitious, took the place of his half-smile of fixed good humor. "May I come to the point at once?" he said when she had given him her hand. There is a train ought to catch at Bishopsbridge at i o clock, but I cannot go until 1 have settled this thing, which con cerns you only, Mrs. Manderson. ! have been working half the night, and thinking the rest; and I know now what 1 ought to do. "YoiNook wretchedly tired," she said kindly. ''Won't you sit down? this is a very restful chair. Of course it .is about this terrible bust ness and your work as correspond- nt. Please ask me anything you fhink I can properly tell you, Mr. Trent. I know that you won't make it worse for me than you can help in doing your duty here. If you say you must see me about something, I know it must be because, as you say. you ought to do it." "Mrs. Manderson," said Trent, measuring his words, "I won't make it worse for you than I can help. But I am bound to make it bad for you only between ourselves, I hope. As to whether you can properly tell ' ' H III. " t-wJlL. W i N f m the world nat- pf A urally has to have ! V a package worthy j 'y.Lg y. of its contents.

M me what I shall ask you, you will de cide that; but I tell you this on my word of honor: I shall ask you only as much as will decide me whether to publish or to withhold certain grave things thatI have found ou about your husbands heath, things not suspected by any one else, nor, I think, likely to b so. What I have discovered what I believe that I have prectically proved will be a great shock to you in any case. But it may be worse for you than that; and if you give me reason to think it would be so, than l shall destroy this manuscript" he laid a long en velop on tne small table beside him "and nothing of what it has to tell shall ever be printed. It consists, I may tell you, of a short private note to my editor, followed by a long dispatch for publication in the Rec ord. Now you may refuse to say anytning to me. If you do refuse, my duty to my employers, as I see it. is to take this un to London with me today and leae it with my editor to be dealt with at his discretion My view is, you understand, that am not entitled to suppress it on the strength of a mere possibility that presents itsif to my imagination. But if I gather from you and I can gather it from no other person that there" is substance in that imaginary possibility I speak of, then I have only one thing to do as a gentleman and as one who" he hesitated for a phrase "wishes you well. I shall suppress that dispatch of mine. In some directions I decline to assist the police. Have you followed me so far?" he askd with a touch of anxiety in his careful coldness; for her face, but for its pallor, gave no sign as she regarded him, her hands clasped before her and her shoulders drawn back in a pose of rigid calm She looked precisely as she had looked at the inquest. "I understand quite well," said Mrs. Manderson in a low voice. She drew a deep breath, and went on: "I don't know what dreadful thing you nave round out, or wnat tne pos sibility that has occurred to you can be, but it was good it was honor able of you to come to me about it Now will you please tell me?" "I cannot do. that," Trent replied. "The secret is my newspaper's, if it is not yours. If I tind it is yours, you shall have my manuscript to read and destroy. Believe m." he broke out with something of his old warmth, "I detest such mystery-mak ing from the bottom of my soul, but it is not I who have made this mys tery. This is the most painful hour of my life, and vou make it worse by not treating m like a hound. The first thing I, ask you to tell me" he reverted with an effort to his colorless tone "is this: is it true, as you stated at the inquest, that you had no idea at all of the reason why your late husband had changed his attitude toward you, and become mistrustful and reserved, during the last few months of his life?" Mrs. Manderson's dark brows lifted and her . eyes flamed; she quickly rose from her chair. Trent got up at the same moment, and took his envelop from the tabl; his manner said that he perceived the interview to be at an end. But she held up a hand, and there was color in her chks and quick brathing in her voice as she said: "Do you know what you ask, Mr. Trent? You ask me if I perjured myself." "I do," he answered unmoved; and he added after a pause: "You knew already that I had not come here to preserve the polite fictions, Mrs. Manderson. The theory that no re putable person, being on oath, could withhold a part of the truth under any circumstances is a polite fiction." ne sua stood as awaiting dismissal; but she was silent She walkd to the window, and he stood miserably watchine the slight movement of her shoulders until it subsided. Then with "face averted, looking out on the dismal weather, she spoke at last clearly. "Mr. Trent," she said, "you inspire confidence in pe6ple, and I feel that things which I don't want known or talked about are safe with you. And I know you must have a very serious reason for doing what you are doing, though I don't know what it is. I suppose it would be assisting justice in some way if I told you the truth about what you asked me just now. To understand that truth you ought to know about what went be fore: I mean about mv marriage. After all, a good many people could tell you as well as I can that it was not a very successful union. I was only 20. I admired his force and courage and certainty; he was th only strong man I had ever known. But it did not take me long to find out that he cared for his business more than for me, an J"! think I found out even -sooner that I had been deceivine myself and blinding myself, promising myself impossible things and wiltully mis understanding mv own feelines, be cause I was dazzled by the idea of having mode monev to spend than an English girl ever dreams of. I have been dspising myself for that for five years. My husband's feeling tor me well, 1 cannot speak of that what I want to say is that along with it there had always been a belief of his that I was the sort of woman to take a great place in society, and that I should throw myself into it with en joyment and become a sort of per sonag and do him great credit that was his idea; and the idea demained with -him after other delusions had gone. I was a part of his ambition. That fas his really bitter disappoint ment that I failed him as a social success. I think he was too shrewd not to have known in his heart that such a man as he was 20 years older than I, with great business respon sibilities that filled every hour of his life, and caring for nothing else he must have felt that there was a risk of great unhappiness in marry ing the sort of girl I was, brought up to music and books and unprac tical ideas, always enjoying myself in mv own way. But he had-really reckoned on me as a wife who would do the honors of his position in the world; and I found I couldn't. Mrs. Manderson had talked herself into a more emotional mood than she had yet shown to Trent. Her words flowed freely, and her voice had begun to ring and, give play to a natural exprssiveness that must hitherto have been dulled, he thought by the shock and self-restraint of the oast few days. Now she turned "swiftly from th window ande faced him as she went on. her beautiful face flushed and animated, her eyes gleaming, her hands moving in slight emphatic gestures, as she surrnaered erselt to the impulse or giving peech to things long pent up. (Continued Tomorrow.) My Heart and My Husband , ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife" Omaha Fishermen Return From Trip to Wisconsin Sixmaha fishermen have re turned from a 10 days' fishing trip to Webster, Wis., where at the Hobby, on Big Sand lake, they caught all the fish the law allowed and showed some of the natives from Wisconsin something of the art of hooking the big ones. The party consisted of Dan Gaines, J. B. Rahm, Dr. C. N. Conner, Charles Mallory, John S. Brady and F. H. Gaines. Dan Gaines as per usual carried off the premier honors at landing the great northern sunfish, being ably assisted by his early rising proclivities. Be a Why Madge Took a Hand In the Proceedings. Allen Drake shrugged his shoul ders with an air of resignation and put the tips of his lngers together judicially "Sorry you feel that way about it, Mrs. Kobbins, he drawled, because your little prejudice will delay us some time. This affair is wholly in the hands of Mrs. Underwood, I am simply the well call me the 'advance representative.' So you woll have to deal with her if you deal at all, and speaking as a strictly disinterested person, I should strongly advisej you to make what I saw the woman stiffen at the sound of the name, Mrs. Robbins." She turned her head toward her again, opened her mouth to speak, but did not venture to interrupt his flow of words until he had finished. "Where do you get that stuff, Mrs. Kobbins here. Allen Drake spread his hands with a gesture which had something foreign in it, but made no other reply, nor did he even glance toward the protesting woman.. After a pregnant silence, Lillian took up the cue. "Mrs. Robbinns" Turns. The monosyllable with its rising infection seemed to echo through the room, to come back with infi nitely added volume to the confute the woman denying the name which had been given her. In her sudden angry confusion she forgot the declaration she had made that that she would not converse with Lillian. "What the h 1 do you know about my name?" she demanded, facing Lillian savagely "and where do you ccme in this anyway I'd like to know?" "I'll tell you that in words of one syllable whenever you're ready to listen," Lillian replied curtly. I could not see hre eyes, but I knew that they were gazing steadily at the woman with steely, almost hypnotic glitter, which Lillian uses so effectively upon rare occasions. The woman gazed back defiantly ior a long interval, and I surmised that behind that glare her brain was working swiftly, weighing her chances, accepting rejecting this theory or that. Finally she shrug ged her shoulders with a nonchal ance as realistic as that Allen Drake had used, advanced toward a chair, seated herself in it, threw one leg over the other, and reached toward a cigarette tray on the table, Trot out your fairy story," she said contemptuously, lighting her cgarette and puffing at it with her eyes on the ceiling. "Don't Dare" "It's very simple," Lillian said soolly. "You.ve been annoying to put it mildly the father of a good friend of mine. Please understand that otherwise Mr. Drake and I would never have troubled ourselves with you except to turn you over to the authorities if you had happened to cross our paths. But we prob- ablynever would have known that you existed if oyu had not decided to blackmail Mr. Spencer. The woman's figure stiffened - t " 1- i 1 - - il- C 1. ' J s:iKiuy u irac.

He knows nothing of our being here will continue in ignorance of the fact as long as he lives unless we decide to tell him. But you will sign an agreement before we leave here never attempt to se him again." The woman laughed gratingly. Her assurance was coming back to her. "Like hell I will," she snarled. "Let Charlie Spencer alone? I have an enlarged kodak of myself doing that little thing Why you poor fish, I've known Charlie Spencer a iifetitme. Over 20 years ago. he left his wife and child for my sweet sake " the mockery in her voice drove me wild " followed me all overthe world.
