A DOUBLE WEDDING

tOriginall
Gertrude Brett was an heiress. Heir
esses are usually described as fearful
that they will be married for their
money, but Gertrude had always been
nscd to the possession Of wealth and
did not appear to realize its value. Be
sides, she was ingenious and confd-
ing. Henry Dexter, the son Of wealthy
parents, loved her, but after delibera-
tion she gave her heart to Clarence
Hawley. AT any rate. she accepted him.
Gertrude had an Intimate friend,
Edna Clarke. and those who knew
Hawley best declared that If Miss
Clarke had been the heiress, instead Of
Miss Brett, Miss Clarke would have
been Mrs. Hawley What every one
else saw Gertrude did not appear to
see that her friend wanted her lover.
But Edna, while she was ostensibly
Gertrude's friend and confidante, con-
stantly accepting favors that Ger
trude's wealth rendered possible Sc
cretiy hated the girl who was to wed
the man she herself wanted.
But still greater surprise was IN
store for them. When It was an

have every opportunity to get rid Of
the ono WHO stool between her and
wealth and love
Strangely enough. there was at least
every appearance that this extreme
view Of tie ease had come about. IN

was to come of. The wealth they
were to receive did away with the
prejudice against them, and people
were looking forward to q brilliant
AFFAIR. But one morning week be-
fore the day set society met with q
shock. Some one it was supposed
through malice mailed a number Of in
yitatians to the wedding Of Henry Dex-
ter and Gertrude Brett. to take place
on the same day and hour as that Of
Clarence Hawley and Edna Clarke
There was great indignation at this
outrage. as it was considered, and 1t

returned be would take pains TO dis
cover and punish the perpetrator- The
bride and groom expectant gave every
evidence Of being deeply wounded, and

friend Of Gertrude, as the place Of
the wedding, and society was sur
prised at the report that preparations
were being made there for some Inn

weddings, as announced. a startling re-

and Gertrude had been seen IN town,

fair business but went nowhere, and was
supposed by those who knew him to be
saving lot Of money. Three days ago
he was taken sick and died Thursday
under such conditions that ain investi-
cation was thought necessary.
An autopsy was held yesterday, and
the fact established that he died OF
chronic stomach trouble, caused By lack
Of proper and enough food and starya-
tion.
investigation by the police showed
that he had been sending practically
every dollar he earned to his wife il
Russia and had recently sent her ticket;
to bring herself and their six children
to this country. he had also purchases
gold watch to be presented to he
on her arrival.

No woman can look beautiful without

Plans to Start On Retern of

OWING TO WAR IN EAST.

lions to Be Settled.

Washington, Sept. 2.-0n the return
Of the president and Secretary Root,
plans VIII be Immediately set on foot
for the assembling of the Peace Con-
gress, probably at The Hague, in ac-
cordance with the promise made by Mr..
Roosevelt to the delegates of the inter-
parliamentary peace union which met
here last summer 1t win be recalled
that the proposal received wide support
abroad, but the existence of the Russo
japanese war prevented the partieipa-
ton to the best advantage Of those eoun-
tries and So the project was postponed.
The war itself has raised many import
ant questions which should be settled,
chiefly regarding the rights Of neutral
vessels and better definitions of contra
band, thus increasing the desirability
Of such a gathering.
The president viii wait for the for.
NAL signing Of the treaty, it is thought,
at the state department here, before he
renews his efforts, but as that is evil
IDENTIFY so near at hand, the Peace Con-
gress may be regarded as a coming
event, Of world interest. The new
prestige which President Roosevelt has
gained through the successful termina-
tion of the negotiations at Portsmouth
will greatly help in compelling atten-
ton to this proposal. 1t has been face
tioEsIy suggested here by one Of the
Presidents friends that the reason he
has been SO handsomely congratulated
on the result Of peace Is because neither
Russia or Japan could be congratulated,
and ia the worlds oHtburst of ioy il
was necessary to felicitate somebody.

Rheumatism

Like Neuralgia, is now known
to be a nervous disease. The
kidneys become weak through
lack OF nerve energy, and fail
to filter the uric acid from the
blood; this acid attacks and
burns the nerves and muscles,
and consumes the oil in the
joints, producing inflammation,
fever, swelling-pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
you must restore the kidney
nerves and muscles, and neu-
tralize the effect of the acid
upon the joints and tissues
with DR.. Miles Restorative
Nervine, a nerve medicine,
which has made many cures of
this painful disease. Nervine
strengthens the kidney nerves
and increases the circulation,
and relief is assured.
