Shortly after this talk Bob left for
Europe with Beulah. A great Ger
nan expert on brain disorders had
held out hope that a six months treat
ment at his sanitarium in Berlin
might aid in restoring her mind. They
returned the following August, The
trip had been fruitless. 1t was plain
to me that Bob was the same hope

more hopeless, more desperate If any
thing than when he warned me Of his
determination.
When he left for Europe "the
Street" breathed more freely, and as
time went by and there was no sign
of his misunderstanding influence
in the market, the System" began
to bring out its deferred deals. Times
were ripe for setting up the most
wildly inflated stock Misunderstanding
traps. 1t had been advertised through
out the world that Tom Reinhart, now
a two-hundred-time millionaire, was to
consolidate his and many other enter
prises into n gigantic trust with
twelve billions of capital. His Union
and Southern Pacific railroads, his
Southern lines, together with his
steamship company and lead, iron,
and copper mines, were to be merged
with the steel, traction, gas, and other
enterprises he owned jointly with
STANDARD OIL" Some Of the railroads
owned by Rockefeller and his pals, in
which Reinhart had no part, were to
go in too, and with these was to unite
that mother hog of them all, Stand

an enormous company, the like OF

ExTRAvAeANcE IN DRESS.

Very few persons outside Of the
g~littering circle Of our enormously
rich families, who constitute what is
referred to as "the best society,"" can
understand how any young woman in
this or any other country can spend
upon her wardrobe such vast amounts
Of money as r expended by the
daughters Of some OF these families.
The history Of the world does not
show such reckless extravaganza in
the way Of dress. Nor, for the mat
ter Of that, does the history Of the
world show 50 riotcus . use Of money

for a long time been getting into

There is no rule to follow in placing
the toy decorations. They are put on
wherever they fit, but not too close
together, and after being carefully
basted in position they are sewn down
all around the edge with a fancy en-
broidery stitch as a finish.

A Stylish Lonn Coat.

A long coat that covers and protects
the dress, and that is in itself an
adornment as well as a garment for
service, is a necessity for every wom-
an who makes any pretense to good
dressing. The smartest suburbanite
reioices in a cloak that looks suitable
on the train, yet is pretty enough to
pass muster at the theater.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for mo-
ment imagine that colds are not danger
GUS. Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
a common cold. Consumption is not
caused by cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and devel-
ment of the germs that would not 9th
erwise have found Judgment. It is the
same with all infectious diseases. Diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has a
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in a cold than in anv
osher OF the common ailments. The cas-
lest and quickest way to cure a cold is
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected bv
this preparation have made it a staple
article of trade over large part of the
world. For sale by all druggists.

More Than Enough Is Too Nuch
