A DAUGHTER OF MYSTERY

The two detectives looked at each
other sheepishly.

PEABODY with a laugh If we didn't

look such an important detail But
we II attend to II now, lieutenant"
Ihey went through Wilburs pockets
very carefully, and ever examined the
inside of his hatband and made him
take off his shoes.
Tne only article Of Importance this
search unearthed was a womans tor
to1se shell comb. The detectives found
TINS In Wilbur's coat pocket, and Pea
BODY seemed 10 consider the find one
OF great significance, for he stared ar
tne comb long and hard, and a tri-
umphant expression fitted across his
features as he handed it to the lieu
tenant.
Take the prisoner backi'' the latter
commanded the waiting turnkey.
Lock him up, and see that he doesn't
attempt suicide or any thing of that
sort He's charged with murder, and
there's no telling what he'll do while
bes in his cell, so you want to watch
him closely every minute"
IN be careful" declared the burly
turnkey. placing a big hand on Wilburs
shoulder. Come along with me, young
man"
After the prisoner had been placed
in a cell, Detective Peabody exclaimed
joyfuily: I've made an important dis
covery. There's a woman in the case. E"
There generally is" remarked the
lieutenant, philosophically. But what
makes you SO sure, Peabody"
That comb I took from him. Some
girl wore it in her hair Til have to
flnd her. The chances are that she's
got SON sthing to do with this muir

The detective turned to Arthur Bar
rington.
DO you know whether that fellow
is sweet on any grip he inquired.
Arthur harrington hesitated for a few
seconds. Then with a look of sudden
decision on his face. he nodded his head
affirmatively.
Yes, believe he is"
Who is she-do you known went on
the detective eagerly.
Her name is Laura Hamilton. She
is employed in our office as a stenog-
rapher.''
An! That sounds promising" ex-
claimed Peabody. And your brother,
Mr.. harrington, was he in love with
her, tOo2"
Again Arthur hesitated. He seemed
10 be undergoing a severe mental strug-
sic. Then ne once more nodded his
head affirmatively.
Yes he said. slowly. My poor
brother was also in love with Miss
Hamilton
"HaP' exclaimed the detective. THAT
sounds more promising stiIl. A bitter
rivalry between the boss and his clerk

There's the whole case In a nutshell

INACCURATE NEWSPAPERS
Several of That Kind in Vermont Ac
cording to Foster

The following article is sent out
from Washington:
"The statements in several Yer
mont papers last week to the effect
that Congressman Foster escorted
Mrs. Philip Snowden, the English lee
turer to the White House to see Pres
ident Taft and that the president re
fused to see them were utterly and
ridiculously false Everyone who is
acquainted with President Taft
knows that he would not be guilty of
any such discourtesy to any worthy
woman who desires TO pay her res
poets to him. In point of fact Cos
gresham Foster on the morning in
question went to the White House on
business matters He found that the
president was closeted with two men,
bers of his cabinet and that large
number of officials, including sena-
tors and representatives, justices Of
the supreme court and our ambassa-
dor to Germany, were waiting to see
him on matters of business.
Mr. Foster decided to postpone his
business until the following day. On
his way out he met Mrs. Snowden and
Mrs. A. l.. Barber in the latter's auto
on Pennsylvania avenue. He told
Mrs. Snowden that he would be very
glad to take her through the White
House and present her to President
Taft He explained how many offic-
ials were waiting to see the president
and that she would have to take her
turn which meant some delay Mrs.
Snowden replied that while she would
like very much to meet the president
she did not think she could spend the
time as she had many other appoint
ments, including a luncheon which
the ladies Of Washington were giving
in her honor
so Mr. Foster took her through
the White House including the pres.
idents Office building. In the latter
place she met many of the prominent
officials who were waiting TO see Pre-
sident Taft Every courtesy was ex.
tended to her. President Taft did
not even know that she was in the
building. If she had been able to
wait until her turn came she would
have had an opportunity to shake
hands with the president"

A BALD HEADED WOMAN
Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses
In Love and Marriage

Shorn OF Her Crown of Beauty Loses
In Love and Marriage
Hair is certainly most necessary
to woman Who could love and mar
ry a bald headed woman? What
charms could one array to Offset such
a Disagreement?
womans goal is usually love and
marriage. Her browning glory is her
hair The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet
right here where we live are thous-
ands of women neglecting or iniuring
their hair to such an extent that it is
only a matter Of time when it will
be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance OF certain facts. They do
not shampoo their hair often enough,
or too often. They use soaps or pre-
parations which contain ingredients
harmful to the scalp and hair.
As a result of such treatment dan
druff is created. the hair loosens, los
es color, falls out, and badness COM
mences, unless proper and prompt
precautions are taken in time Then
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Most people can rid themselves OF
dandruff and correct diseased scalp
and hair conditions if they will use
the right remedy We have that
remedy. We will positively guaran-
tee that it will eradicate dandruff and
