were all a little eager; it had not been
announced on the boards, but had
f1oated round society through the pri-
vate channels, and we kept asking
each other who was this new star of
BatSburg? The programme was as
good as could be, but the performers
were old acquaintances; and while
we Stormed the stage with applause
after each item, all felt that Batsburg
owed US a new sensation yet. 1t came
between numbers 8 and loan ''extra
turn which was merely slipped upon
the notice board The band struck
up new air, a catchy thing that no
one had heard, and yet, 1 believe, we
all tried TO hum it and then into the
centre OF the wide strip of stage left
bare in front of the back-cloth a little
ragged London gamin came swinging
his impudent dirty face turned to the
audience with the sang froid of his in
1mltable breed. He stood still a min
ute, and then cody looking us over, he
began to shy personalities at our
comments that made the victim shout
claim him success.
There was no doubt about his
reality-he was a true arab, apparent
ly brought straight out of the streets,
without dab of paint on him that
eoula De dlscerned, and supremely
Jaunty and inSolent. Probably, he
was one of the boys who sold bogus
programmes at the side doors of the
hall, or, for few stray coppers, sang
versions of the songs to be heard in
side, and Batsburg had primed him I'D
to recognize the front rows of the au-
d1ence and discourse ON their private
affairs and was getting quite personal
when one concluded that the
urch1n had been coached by someone
who did know. Batsburg had been
among these people for weeks in con-
nection with the benefit, and, though,
his use of his knowledge might be in
doubtful taste, there was no denying
that it caught onzthe stalls roared as
each singing remark, pointed by one
grimy forefinger came clearly across
the footlights through the jaunty
music.
Suddenly the boy began to dance a
kind of double-shuffie and. to the air
which the band still played softly,
broke into song, introducing the
names of people in front of him.
HIS voice was a sweet, true bows
voice. but married by that awful East
End accent, and it rang through the

brighten her chaperons.
Lady Jane is a dear, good soul, but
she is accustomed to be unwiSe in her
management of Sigma. She allowed
her new approval of Noel to be read in
the growing maternity of her manner.
Hitherto she had been couSinly in her
treatment of him-She was not his
aunt or that might have been her atti-
tude-and when things looked very
black in the matrimonial market she
comforted herself aloud with his adj
vantages. Sigma hated the obvious.
Her temper had been decidedly uncer-
tain since Captain Verney had come
into what she henceforth styled his
"BaySwater income" and she sailed
forth this very afternoon in a mood
that was ripe for mischief.
She found it at Lady Bloomfield's
afternoon crush where the Bohemian
element was mingling with the severe
ly social, and everybody was discuss
ing the great benefit night at the
Bacchante Theatre of Varieties in aid
of the War Fund. The Bacchante is
a very superior music hall, and that
lent ZeSt to the way in which every
one was buying ticketS-in aid of the
charity!
There was fat man in long frock-
coat standing in the centre of the
group of the smartest women present
when Sigma arrived. He was Bats
burg, the proprietor of the Bacchante
and the originator of the benefit, but
Sigma hardly glanced at him. There
was no doubt that she was in a very
bad mood indeed, and her eyes, roam
ing about for some evil deed to prove
this, did not alight upon Batsburg, as
the special means arranged by the
Powers of Darkness to help her. 1t
was not with any thought of the fat
man and his glossy curls in her mind
that she sat down at the piano
and volunteered a song. There had
been music going on all of that after
noon; but Signals performance was
entirely different, and everyone listen
ed. and indeed, crowded in from the
other rooms to hear. She has a
slngularly clear voice, strong enough
to fill concert-room, and trained by
Da Capri. He never thought that his

Health is a gift of the gods, and
the way to health lies through the do

be a long time before Paducah has
truant officers, as the maximum
amount the schools can now obtain
under the charter is barely enough
to defray current expenses, leaving
little for new schools and new teach
ers. Such officers are badly needed,
however. as only about 80 per cent

STOP THAT COUGH!
Colds Lead to Catarr1-Catarrh Leads to Consumption.

Miss Lillia, OF Illinois, started out
exactly In this way. Fortunately, she
took a course Of Peruna before ~ was
too late. She had caught several colds,
then a cough developed. She took all
sorts Of cough medicines, until, as sho
puts ~, az sickencd at the sight Of them"
In four weeks Peruna had cured her %
her catarrh and her system was entirely
rid of ~.
This Is what Peruna IL doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has similar
experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption IL
catching cold. The nextstepis failure
TO cure 10 promptly. The third step Is
the Development OF catarrh, which grad
ually becomes chronic. The fourth step,
the catarrh begins TO spread from tho
head TO the throat. The flfth step, tho
catarrh spreads to the bronchial tubes
and lungs. IL then becomes consump-
ton In its first stage.
Al any time during the progress Of tho
catarrh, from the first onset OF the cold
TO its final settlement I'm the lungs, Pe-
runa can be relied upon 10 stop the dis
ease. IL cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become thoroughly
developed, many cases have found in
Peruna permanent cure. After they
have been given up by physicians to dio
OF consumption Pcruna has cured them.
We have hundreds OF testimonials
that declare these facts In the most
enthusiastic language.

POOR ANIMALS
Many Driven ON Slick Streets With
out Being Rough-Shod.

The hearts of many people have
gone out during the present siege of
bad weather to the poor animals that
have to suffer because of cold. ice
and the inhumanity of man. Few
drivers have blankets for their hors-
es or mules. and the suffering Is
doubtless intense. especially while
cooling off after a run.
The worst thing noticed, however
is the number of animals driven with
out being rough shod. There ara
scores of them, and they slip and
slide along and are In some cases un-
mercifully beaten by their L;Ita'
drivers. There should be law and
someone to enforce II against the
brutal treatment of animals, brt little
attention seems to be paid to such
outrages as may be daily Witnessed
in Paduoah. All horses and mule.
should be rough shod in winter and
provided with heavy blankets to pro
tect them from cold and sleet. Many
animals were today left out where the
rain could fall on them and freeze.
