ROBBED RESTAURANT
OF SlLVERWARE

That he had already stolen con-
siderable silverware from Daven-
ports restaurant and had another
lot cached away to be removed
when opportunity offered, was the
confession made last night by F..
w. Bardett. walter arrested by
Supt. Stauffer and Patrolman w.
N. Long, both of the Merchants pa
troll. The officers had been work
ing on the case for some time, as
silverware has been steadily dis
appearing from the restaurant. Last
night they had evidence enough to
warrant the arrest Of Bardett and
search of his room. A number of
knives and forks bearing the Dav-
export mark were found, and Bar
dett acknowledged the theft. He
had been employed but a short
time.

ing calamity upon her, Vera had fol-
lowed Walter into the hall. She
heard Walters exclamation as he
recognized the intruder. Z
Good heavens, it is Mrs. Della
hay!" he cried. What can you
want here at this hour?"
"The studio" Mrs. Delahay
gasped. Get to the studio at once
If your uncle should happen to be
there"
You can reassure yourself on
that point" Walter said. Lord
Ravenspur is at present in his bed
room"
Maria Delahay pressed her hand
to her heart. She gave little gasp
of relief. She was TOO greatness
to explain. AS Walter stood there
it flashed upon him that something
wrong must be taking place in con-
nection with the studio. He"'had
not forgotten the vivid incident OF
the other night. Perhaps at this
very moment the clew to the puzzle
was in his hands. He turned round
and his gaze fell upon Vera, who
was watching Mrs. Delahay Curl
ously.
Take this lady into tho drawing
room" he said, "and wait till
come back. | shall not be very
long"
Vera came forward with a sympa-
thetic smile upon her face, and
gently assisted the late conner as
far as the drawing room.
81 am sure you are Mrs. Della
hay" she said. "If all had gone
well we should have met before.
cannot tell you how sorry | am fol-
you. l do hope this dreadful mys
terry will be cleared up before long
And now, can / get you anything"
II should like to see Lord Raven
spur" she said. $50 you are his
ward, Vera Rayne? Really, I can
not see any likeness between yor
and your father.
The words had slipped uncon
sciously from Maria Delahay's lips
before she had time to think wha
she was saying. 1t was only wher
she noted the startled look II
Vera's eyes that she realized the
full extent of her imprudent speech
Did you know my father?' Vert
cried
What am l saying?" Mrs. Della
hay exclaimed. "My head is 81
dazed and confused that l don
know what | am talking about. Jus
for a moment | was filled with ;
| foolish idea that you were Lort
Ravenspur's daughter. 1t would b.
strange if you bore a likeness t.
him, seeing that he is only you
guardian"
Vera was silent for a moment
Mrs. Delahay's impetuOus speecl
had filed her with misgivings. Sh
did not know, she could not fee
sure that, after all, Lord Raven
spur might stand in closer relation
ship to her than that of a guardian
But she put the trouble out of he

In the first place, what is drug? drug is arti
fetal substance which produce change in the
functions of the body.
For instance. long Of over feedng lack of
water drinking, insufficient exercise bad air and forth
has led to attack of neuralgia. An incompetent doc
tor is consulted and he prescbes drug produced from
coal tar, called phenacetn This drug by affecting the
and the circulation has the result of stopping the
pain But the femented of undigesed food retained
in the stomach and ntesnes the poisonous matter pro
duced by it with which the blood is loaded down-hese
not affected in the least. And in little while the
neuralgia returns. Oh, WELL the medicine gives
lief. But meantime, the actual underlying condition
grows worse; and in time is likely to eliminate in
grave, if not fatal, disorder.
Another in which drugs act is illustrated in
the operation Of the saline cahartcs such Rochelle
salts and many similar substances. If we take with
food too much SALT the result everybody knows is dry
of the mouth which is relieved only by copous drink
ing of water.
Now, Rochelle salt acts in the way the mites
tines. One Of constipation is dryness of the in
festival contents. Rochelle salts makes the intestine
thirsty, drawing to its large quantity Of water The
of hardened matter is moistened and the constpa
ton is relieved And how does the intestine get this
water? BY taking it out of the blood. This leaves the
general system dryer than ever. The result is worse
constipation than before And the catharcs of this
class you take the the trouble gets.
Then about cough mixtures.'' They are often eff
fectve in stopping the cough but you take enough they
occasionally likely to stop the life. cough is simply
effort of the system to eject foreign matter lodged
in the upper air tubes
The cough medicine merely paralyzes the nerves. so
that the victim feel the foreign matter SO he does
not cough the undsodged matter accumulaes, and the
last state Of that than his first. well stop
ped cough is frequently the first step toward consump
ton
OF all the errors of our laundering world the most
rreacng has been the blind faith in the curative power
of drugs Drugs do not cure cannot They at
best merely relieve and that usually at great cost and
injury to the body

Lose Their Hands
In Saving Others
From Sure Death

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-ln order
TO save a number of comrades from
death, Oliver Jude and John j. Nc
Elynn. ironworkers, each lost
hand. The two men were at work
on the Long Island City tower Of
the Blackwell Island bridge. They
were working high up on the struc'
ture and it was their duty to guide
into place the great steel plates on
which the Orders rest. Below them
were working a score of other men.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-12-14

One of the great plates that had
just been settled into place sudden
ly began to slide. Unless it was
stopped it would plunge from its
base onto the heads of the men
working below. Jude and McGlynn
saw the danger and, shouting to
the workmen below, each threw an
arm around beam and each seized
with his free hand the sliding plate
By a gigantic effort they slipped the
plate to one side so that it rested
against a beam. But they were I'M
able to withdraw their hands in
time and they were caught between
the plate and the beams. Judes
right hand was cut off at the wrist
and McGlynn's left hand was ter
ribly mangled.

CHAPTER XIII
The Next Move


Walter told Ravenspur of his Wis
it's to Mrs. Delahay and the charges
of the Italian detective that she
was no other than Carlotta, Coun-
tess Flavio.
Il was certain he had not seen
the countess, but her sister" Wal
ter said. The strong likeness be-
tween them would account for the
misunderstanding"
And that opens up another the
ory,' Ravenspur exclaimed. IF 1t
wasn't Maria Delahay the witness
Stevens saw that night in Fitzjohn
square, then it must have been her
sister Carlotta."
THAT never occurred to mel
Walter cried. And yet the solution
is as simple as it is probable. |
wonder if it is possible to obtain a
photograph of the countess?'
There were plenty of them pub
lished at the time of the trial" Ra-
venspur said "Of course, | mean
in the illustrated papers. | have got
the whole of them somewhere up
stairs. I'll go and see if | can find
one"
Ravenspur turned hurriedly and
left the room. He was gone some
considerable time. Walter was sud-
| denly conscious that the music in
| the drawing room was very soft
and soothing. Then it flashed
across him that Vera had some
thing to say.
| Vera sat half in the shadow, a
pathetic looking figure enough, in
her white dress. AS Walter ap-
preached he could see that her face
was very pale, and that her eyes
showed signs of recent tears.
what fresh trouble is this?' he
asked.
1T is not altogether fresh
trouble" she murmured; ut is
only the old one become moer
acute Oh, l am not going to pre-
varicate about it. We have always
been good friends, Walter, and in
the last few months l have realized
that friendship has given way tc
a more tender attachment. Per
haps it was that which opened my
eyes.
But, though he has taken me
into his house and brought me VI
as if l belonged to his own fest
and blood, it does not follow tina
Lord Ravenspur considers me goot
enough for his nephew, the future
holder of the title. And when he
did find out not long ago | saw a
once what a dreadful disappoint
ment 1t was to him.
81 am afraid it was" Walte
said grudgingly. But he did no

At that moment Ravenspur came
down with a bundle of papers In
his hand. He started as he caught

claimed. 81 hope"

Ravenspur started violently.

that those insane vendettas had
