All, how close a shot did Chloe make
when she used this plea. II he could
only have held her in his arms! But
she would think of him as a %ciodhopper
she must. If he had but gone more
into society. instead of grinding all the
time-at a~eronefs, and the like. And

Nevertheless. he sent Aunt Chloe to
inform Miss Suarez that the robber OF
the South Beach, and the stowaway
Of the Roc, was no other than the man
with whom, in a touching confidence in
the old ehivalry which regards an un-
protected woman relative as a sacred
charge, and lays the obligation of graft

she had come to live.
Uncle Theodore was stately, ceremo-

sundry bushes when Miss Virginia
emitted a little giggle. promptly smoth-
cred in her napkin. quite grand in his
demeanor at luncheon. He formally
kissed Virginia's hand-and when she
told of her need, of her reliance on
the Carson fidelity. he yielded to the
temptation without a moments hesita-
ton. He became her uncle, entered
calmly upon the deception. oblivious
of the vast consequences involved, or of
the real right and wrong of the matter.
She trusted him. she made claims upon
him; and she was not to be panied by
explanations. He was only a boy, you
know.

She rose. as if at the formal signaffor
withdrawal, took both his hands and
kissed him on the forehead. There were
tears in her eyes.

she: and went out slowly. without look

Theodore blushed, but strove to keep
on a high and %avuncular plateau of
platitudes.
"Piracy and yeggism, and those
things, are so incompatible with ones

said Virginia.

Theodore, ''the uncle was quite h a

Mr.. Carson reeled back against the

and looked again. She seemed to be

WHEN AFRAID TO SHAMPOO.

Some women whose hair is thick and
who are sensitive to cold dread having
their hair shampooed frequently. To
keep the scalp clean under such con-
ditions great care is necessary.
Brush the scalp carefully, dividing
the hair into strands. This loosens all
dandruff. which should be shaken from
the hair by loosening it and holding 1t
at arms length.
Rubbing the scalp with a sponge
dipped in witch hazel is a good substi-
tute for a regular shampoo. There are
also certain proprietary preparations
for scalp cleansing and dandruff remov-
ing which do not necessitate wetting
the long hair

FOR INSOMNIA SUFFERERS.


Sufferers from insomnia should avoid
lweet desserts at night as well as tea,
,offee and greasy foods.
Whether it is better to retire with an
Empty stomach can be determined only
by experiment in each individual case.
One of the best ways, says the same
authority, to draw the blood from the
brain before retiring is to take a
moderately swift walk.
If there is still difficulty in getting to
ileep a tepid bath and a gentle rub will
BRING the blood from the brain to the
surface of the body.
If the cause of sleeplessness is sus-
.eptibility to sound, stuffing the ears
With medicated cotton will be useful.

SPOTS ON FINGER NAILS.

Many are of the opinion that the un-
slightly white spots on the ~finger-nails
are a necessity n that they must be
there. but in reality they are caused by
bruising the nail.
This is often done in trimming, espe-
cially with a file.
An ~orangewood stick, with a blunt
end. should be used and care taken not
to bruise the nails.
If the nails seem to be very sensitive
t the spots II is best to cover the
orangestick with a piece of cotton and
avoid the possibility of bruising when
