BY five o'clock that afternoon Van
Holden was back in New York, and
day later there was a brief but intense
scene in the room which Mr.. Moran
occupied at the seaside hotel At the
end of that scene, in which Van Hol-
den, Moran, an old but determined
lawyer from New York, and fright
ened, shabbily dressed little woman,
who proved to be the small mermaid's
aunt, took part, Van Holden showed
the circus owner the door, with the
admonition: II give you two hours to
get away; at the end of that time if
you are still here, or if you try to
take this child again by pretending to
be her father, or any other relative,
into the penitentiary you go!'
And that evening the little mermaid,
whom her delighted aunt called Ma
rian, was placed in the motherly care
of Mrs. Hargrave, the manager of the
hotel. A few days later Van Holden's
mother came, looked at the child,
looked at her son-and took the
former to her heart, for all time.

of the Kolina river on the Arctic coast,
in about latitude 70, near the extreme
northeastern border of fartherst ST.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC
The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment

The grip has surprised the doctors and
health authorities this season by its
rapid spread and by some novel symp-
toms. While it spares nobody it is prov
ing especially dangerous to middle-aged
and elderly persons. In many cases
either fatal onset of pneumonia, or a
complete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack of
grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
By wearing Bensows Porous Plaster on
the chest and back you protect the lungs
from cold and chill and with ordinary
care) you are safe from grip.
