the original $.IOOH,000 estate left by

ulated a new assortment of sensa
tions which promise tr, provide a
thrilling sciiil to an already inter
cs'wig melodrama.
It was announced in the court of
Judge ClifTe, at Wheaton today, that
search was on for another heir. This
inisMiiR heir is said to be James Wil
liams Cowan, who was an uncle of
the former oil president. It is be
lieved he was interned in (iermany
in the course of the war, that prob
ably he was released and that as he
is of a roving disposition, he has
not returned to the United States.
The search for this man is being
conducted i" behalf of Mrs. Mary
C. McArl?ms and her brothers and
sisters and other relatives who re
.side in Peoria. 111. Mrs. McAdams

You Can't Brush or
Wash Out Dandruff
The 'only sure way' to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
uiven; apply it at nisht when re
tiring; use enough to moisten the
sculp and rub it in gently with the
linger tips. ' ,
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most .If not all. of your dandruff will
, be gone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely- dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace ot it, no master how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair iwill be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any

After This Treatment
(Toilet Helps)
You can keep your arms, neck or
face free from hair or fuzz ,by the
occasional use of plain delatone and
in using it you need have no fear
of marring or injuring the skin. A
thick paste is made by mixing some
of the powdered delatone with wa
ter. Then spread on the hairs and
after 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash
the skin and all traces of hair have
vanished. Be careful, however, to
get real delatone. (

HOLDING A
Adele Garrison's
Revelations
How Rita Brown "Took" the Lead.
I have traveled so little in my life
that sleeping cars, and, indeed, the
very atmosphere of the big inter
state trains affect me most pleasur
ably. I enjoy speculating as to the
kind of persons who are behind the
heavy curtains of the berth, won
dering upon what errands of joy or
sorrow, of sordid business or pleas
ure they are bent.
There were but three berths un
occupied in the car to which an
obsequious porter conducted us
when we finally reached the train,
and a hasty comparison of checks
disclosed the fact that they belonged
respectively to Dicky, Alfred and
Major Grantland.
''But where is our drawing room?"
Rita Hrown demanded impatiently,
her voice sounding shrilly through
the silent car.
I saw the porter glance involun
tarily, apprehensively toward the
printed sign, placed conspicuously,
which read: s
"Passenger are sleeping. Please
refrain from loud conversation."
I felt a decided qualm of distaste
for my enforced companionship with
her the next few days. It was so
eminently characteristic of her to
have kept the drawing room check
which Dicky had given her
to use if I didn't catch the train,
instead of handing it to me upon
my arrival. Like her also was the
flamboyant insistence uppn "our
drawing room." It was the ine
radicable instinct for display and the
claiming of any petty distinction
which was her right. I told myself
contemptuously that.she would have
awakened every sleeping passenger
in the car if "she could in order to
impress upon them the fact that she
was traveling in a "drawing room."
Alfred Interposes.
"Right at the end here, miss," the
porter said, after a hurried scrutiny
of the check she handed him.
"Is it ready?" still with shrill im
patience. y "Won't take hut jest a few min
utes, miss, tne man returned witn
the ready evasiveness of his race.
"Well, hurry as fast as "you can
then!" she demanded imperiously.
"I am exceedingly tired."
"Suppose you tell us first where
this other room is located?" Alfred
Durkee's voice drawled out behind
us, holding out the check for the
quarters which Leila and Edith were
to occupy. I saw Rita Brown bite
her lip at the rebuff, but her ' color
didn't heighten. It was too cleverly
put on to be capable of change with
any emotion.
There was an almost impercepti
ble but distinct change in the por
ter's manner as he turned to Al
fred. Long experience with Lillian's
Retty and other colored servants
has taught me that no peoplein the
world can so unerringly draw social
distinctions as they. I knew that
our colored attendant had ticketed
WHY?
Won't a Slate Pencil Write
on Paper?
Copyright, 19211. by tho Wheeler Syndi
cate. Inc.)
Writing, of all kinds, is doc
cither to friction or the applica
tion of some liquid to the surface
of paper. In writing with a lead
pencil, the marks are made be
cause the friction between the
paper or whatever surface one
is writing on and the point of
the s pencil wears down the
graphite and leaves a resultant
mark. The process of writing
with ink is, of course, essential
ly similar to painting a wall or
a fence. The liquid is applied
and is practically absorbed and
partially evaporates through the
action of the air.
In writing with a slate pencil
on a slate the surface of the lat
ter is rough enough to cause the
necessary friction and the mark
which appears is the result of
this. But paper is not hard and
rough enough to produce this ef
fect and the slate pencil mere
ly glides over the surface, with
out doing more than indenting
it. For the same reason, it is
not possible to write upon glass
with an ordinary pencil. Because
of the smoothness there is not
sufficient friction to wear away
the graphite, though glass may
be readily marked with soft
waxy crayons.

Rita Brown as decidedly "not qual
ity" in his own vocabulary, but that
he distinctly approved of Alfred
Durkee. Woman-like I foolishly
writhed under the fear that because
we shared the same room he would
pin the same mental ticket upon me
that he evidently had given Rita
Brown.
She Gets the Cloak.
He scrutinized the ticket care
fully, then turned with a beckoning
gesture.
"Right this way, sah. It's jest the
next car," and then, looking at me,
he said deferentially:
"And yoh. Miss?"
"She is with me," Rita Brown put
in quickly, insistently, while I won
dered anew at her effrontery. Evi
dently she would stick at nothing in
her petty, ridiculous desire to be
considered the leading spirit of the
expedition.
The porter bowed vaguely in her
direction and looked at me.
"Ef yoh ladies will jest come
along to the next car," he said
deferentially, "there's a vacant sec
tion where you can all be comfort
able until I get yoh berths
made up."
"Thank you," I said quietly, but
Rita Brown bristled.
"I never saw such accommoda
tions!" she said crossly. "Fancy
having to go into the next car to
wait for one's berth. I've never had
to do that before." '
I reflected sardonically that in all
probability she had traveled as lit
tle or even less than I, and as I
could make no comment agreeing
with her, I said nothing, but fol
lowed the porter down the aisle.
As we walked past Maj. Grant
land, Rita Brown looked demurely
at the handsome cloak which still
hung upon his arm.
"Aren't you afraid to keep so
wonderful a thing as that in an or
dinary berth?" she asked provoca
tively. It was patent to the most unob
servant person that she expected
him to ask her to take charge of the
beautiful garment. But he hesitated
oddly before he replied.
"I intended to ask Mrs. Graham
if she perhaps would like to keep it
with her. These rooms get very
cold sometimes," he said.
"Far better trust it to me," Rita
Brown retorted laughingly. "Mrs.
Graham is too shy to make use of
it on her own initiative if she froze
to death for the want cf it."
She fairly pulled the cloak from
his arms, for he made no movement
to give it to her. And as I followed
her down the aisle I didn't know
which emotion was the stronger
within me anger at her effrontery
or panic at the cold wrath which
had gathered in Dicky's eyes.

Chicago Peonle Use
Taxicabs and Theaters
Now There Is No Booze
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 20. As a result of
the partial enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment, people of
Chicago are now indulging in taxi
cabs and theaters instead of the
booze parties of the dear dead days.
This is shown by records just com
piled by internal revenue collectors.
These show that special taxes this
year run $100,001 above those of
last year, notwithstanding the fact
that 1,000 concerns that paid taxes
on liquor last year are now out of
business.
These special taxes include cigars,
amusements of various kinds, taxi
cabs and many other details classed
as luxuries. The figures show that
taxicabs and the theaters have been
tremendous gainers by the abolition,
or partial abolition of the saloon.
Formerly gay parties would sit in
some saloon, order up a big feed
and spend large sums of money tor
drinks and in tips to the waiters.
Now they hire cabs nfter the
theaters and tour the roadhouses, or
visit various homes where the cel
lars are known to be well stocked.

Larry was covered with mud from
the bog-hole, and Eileen and Dennis
wore wet and muddy from falling
into the puddle.
But they had the pjg !
"Sure, she is a beautiful little pig.
and we'll call her Deirdre, because
we found her in the 'bog just in the
same way as Couchubar himself,"
said Larry.
"Indeed, Deirdre was too beautiful
altogether to be naming a pig after
her," Eileen said.
"Isn't she a beautiful little pig,
then?" Larry answered.
"Well, maybe we might be calling
her 'Diddy,' for 'short, and no offence
to herself at all," Eileen agreed.
The poor little pig was so tired
out with struggling, and so hungry,
that she was fairly quiet while Den
nis carried her on his shoulder to
the road. Eileen walked behind
Dennis and fed her with green
leaves.
She was so quiet that Larry said:
"We'll tie the rope to one of Didd's
hind legs, and she'll run home her
self in front of us."
So when they reached the road he
and Dennis tied the rope securely to
Diddy's left hind leg and set her

The person you see who seems to

of them.
You might be surprised to find out
that he has far more trouble than

You are foolish to brooi over

Why make yourself unhappy
over mistakes which are past re
