No Cure For Badness.

From the Washington Herald
rs there cure for badness? II
there was, do you suppose there would
be any bald-headed doctors?"
It was Antoine V. Strobel of New
York, one of the best-known wig
makers and tonsorial artists that ever
operated on the braindome of the Goth
amite, who replied to the query. Mon
sieur Strobel is staying at the Metro
politan for few days to look around"
"If you lose your hair as the result
of illness" said he, sit will grow again.
If you find it going because of natural
loss of its vitality, its departure may
be delayed by the use of tonics, but it
will go, and once naturally bald you
will be bald always thereafter.
Il have dressed the heads of New
Workers and others for a generation
and more. / have lamented with hum
dreds of my patrons, from whose heads
not only the hand of time, but the in
discretions and carelessness of youth
were gradually plucking the natural
and often luxuriant covering, and have
anointed, drenched and plastered their
too apparent polls with lotions, tonics
and pomatums, and rubbed and knead-
ed and manipulated their failing scalps
until, if there had been one ember of
hair life left slumbering there it must
have been brought back to its wonted
fire and vigor; but l gave it all up at
last with sigh, and handed them a
card to my wigmaker.
eff I have used one hair restorative
I a
among them was warranted to not only
prevent badness, but to restore to
heads already bald their erstwhile
hirsute glory. Look at me. See what
a remarkable growth, and youthful
gloss and sheen of hair have. It has
not changed in rs years. Why?"
The tonsorial savant seized his soft
brown hair with both hands, and with
a vicious jerk removed it from his
head. 1t was a costly wig, and his
head was as white and shiny and bare
as billiard ball.
"That is why" he resumed, bitterly.
"And | not only a hair dresser. but
learned and skilled in every tonsorial
art. If there were help for badness
other than the wigmaker, do you for
a moment suppose that I, of all men.
wculd not know it? And, knowing 1t.
would not only have rescued myself.
but have saved to myself scores of
profitable patrons? If that is not proof
sufficient that a man once bald is al
ways bald, just call to mind doctors of
your acquaintance who are as bald as
glass globes.
They are wise in the mysteries of
drugs and in the preparation of heal
ing things and restoratives. They
know what result their combination
and application will produce. If any
one living were capable of curing bald
ness, some one among these experts
in the science of curing ought to be the
one. You never had occasion to go to
doctor to get a prescription for bald
ness, I see. I have had such occasion.
Did I get the prescription? Let my
shining poll, stripped of its 1uxuriant
disguise, be my answer. And he was
bald, that doctor of mine. An onion
has more hair than he had"

Art in Spanish Bank Notes.

To battle the counterfeiters, who are
both numerous and cunning in Madrid,
the Bank of Spain has pursued the
policy of changing its notes with great
frequency and retiring each issue as
fast as possible.
The bank has now determined on a
new plan. 1t has placed an order for
a series of notes with an English con-
cern, and it will rely for safety upon
a special color process. In addition
the notes are to present pictures of
well-known buildings in Spain, exc
cuted with a perfection that will defy
counterfeiting.
The pictures are to be so beautiful
that amateurs will be tempted to
frame them" says one Spanish news
paper. Hardly" rejoins another,

SYNOPSIS.

RAY WALTERS

The Escapade opens, not in the ro-
nance preceding the marriage of Ellen
Slocum, Puritan miss. and Lord Car
rington of England but in their life after
settling in England. The scene is placed,
Just following the revolution, in Caring
ton castle in England. The Carringtons,
after house party, engaged in family
tilt caused by jealousy. Lord Caring
ton and his wife each made charges of
faithleSSness against the other in con-
tinuation of the quarrel. First objecting
against playing cards with the guests,
Lady Darlington agreed to cut cards with
Lord Strathgate, whose attentions to
Ellen had become a sore point with Car
rington. The loss OF 800. 900 failed to per-
turb her, and her husband then cut fC.r
his wifes |. O. u. and his honor, Car
rfngton winning The incident closed ex-
cept that liking for each other appar-
entity arose between Lady Darlington and
Lord Strathgate. Additional attentions
OF Lord Darlington to Lady Cecily and
Lord Strathgate to Lady Darlington com
PEELED the latter to vow that she would
leave the castle. Preparing to flee, Lady
Darlington and her chum Deborah. an
American girl, met Lord Strathgate at
TWO a. m, he agreeing to see them safe
ly away. Ellen fled. Strathgate driving
he attempted to take her to his castle
but she left him stunned in the road
When the carriage met with an accident
She and Debbie then struck out for
PORTSMOUTH, where she intended to sail
for America. Hearing news of Ellens
Hight, Lords Darlington and Seton set
out In pursuit. Seton, locating q fish

Debbie. He then rented q fast vessel

from fall. dashed on to Portsmouth, for
which Darlington. Ellen and Seton were
also headed by different routes.

ing tepid water and trying to console
the whimpering little maiden by her
side.
And it is possible, too, that Lord
Darlington never realized how much
he was in imminent danger of losing
and how much the loss meant to him
as he plunged along through the dark
ness on the way to Portsmouth.
Ellen had advanced much farther on
her journey when she ran into the
calm which later overlook Seton.
All Ellen's ready money, except what
she carried on her person, had been
left to Darlington in the cheque on
her desk. but she still retained con-
troll of several stout merchantmen
which had come to her from her father
and the New Eagle was the best of
them. Once she set foot on the docks
of that ship, she would be perfectly
safe. Meanwhile, as she had been
up practically all the night before, she
felt that she must have some slumber.
She furled the sail of the little boat.
turned the tiller over to Debbie with
instructions for her to let the shallop
drift and to waken Ellen in two hours
by the watch.
1t was very lonely and miserable for
poor Debbie. She was flying like
Ellen from that she loved best, but
unlike Ellen there was no reason on
earth for her to break away. It was
only the constraint put upon her by
the stronger will that had brought her
in the stern sheets, holding the tiller,
while the tears trickled down her
pretty red checks. She wished that
she were anywhere else under heaven
than in this boat She looked at
Ellen almost malevolently, surveying
her slight and boyish figure with a
venomous glance and the thought that
since clothes of the other sex so well
became her. Ellen should have been
born a man.

about her past, her present and her
future.
