That Is true. u new store wuull
start off very slowly without advcr-
Using. This Is Il good testimonial for
advertising, but the fault with many OF
the new ones Is that rs soon as they
build up Il good trade by advertising
they forget the foundation OF their
SUCCESS and think they can get alont1
very well without advertising. Perhaps
they can, and 1t Is possible that the
force OF their first, advertising will car.
ry them for years to come. but IL Is
also true thnt this same force that
BULLS up n business will not only
keep 1t up but will add to 1t from year

have a good trade without advertising
and argue from this promise that nd.

he would tanatyze conditions he would

gems she could carry. and started In pur-
suit, Margaret Donne (Margarita da
Cordov6). a famous prima donna, became
engaged In London to Konstantin Lo-
gotheu, wealthy Greek fnancier Her
intimate friend was Countess Leven;
known as Lady Maud. whose husband
had been killed by a bomb In st. Peters
burg; and Lady Mauds most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Ameri-
men in the world. Van Torp was in love
with Margaret. and rushed to London as
soon as he heard OF her betrothaL He
offered Lady Maud $4,000 for her pet
the singer from Logotheti. Baraka APP
preached Logotheu at Versailles with
rubies TO sell. He presented ruby to
sent it TO verice. He was visited by
Baraka in male attire. She gave him
ruby after the American had told her of
having seen in the United States a man
answering the description of the one she
loved. The American followed Margaret
to the Bayreuth 'Parsifar' festival. Mar
garet took a liking to Van Torp, who pre-
sented her with the ruby Baraka had
given him. Count Kralinsky, a Russian,
arrived at Bayreuth. Van Torp believed
him to be the one Baraka was pursuing.
Baraka was arrested in London on the
charge OF stealing from Pinney a lew
eler. the ruby she had sold TO Logotheti.
Two strangers were the thieves Lady
Maud believed that Logotheti's associa-
lions with Baraka were open to suspi-
cion, and so Informed Margaret Van
Torp believed that Kralinsky was the
cowboy he had known In his young man
hood. Logotheu secured Barakas re-
lease, and then, with her as his guest.
went to sea on his yacht Erinna. Baraka
explains her plans for revenge on the
man who had deserted her and left her
TO die. Logotheti succeeds in undertaking
her rage. Lady Maud arrived in Bay
reuth.

II don't know anything about geog-

which had been smouldering sullenly
for days, began to glow again.
Margaret" said Mrs. Rushmore.
you surprise me! You were very
well taught"
But the prima donna did not hear
the long TRADE Of mild reproof that
followed. She knew well enough
where Gibraltar was, and that Logo
theft was going all the way round to
the Mediterranean on his yacht with
some one for company, and that the
voyage was a long one. After what
Lady Maud had said there was not
the least dodbt in her mind as to his
companion, who could be no one but
Baraka. He had been told that he
was not wanted at Bayreuth, and he
was celebrating the sunset of his
bachelor life ia his own way. That
was clear. If he received the tele-
gram that had Just been sent to him,
he would get It at Gibraltar, should
he stop there, and as for answering it
before Margaret left Bayreuth, she
was inclined to make such a thing i'm
possible by going away the next morn
ng. il not that very night
Her angry reflections and Mrs.
Rushmore's lecture on the Importance
OF geography in education were inter-
rupted by the discreet entrance of Mr..
Van Torp, who was announced and
ushered to the door by Justine in a
grand French manner. On the TIRES
hold. however. he stood still and asked
II he might come in; being pressed to
do so, he yielded, advanced, and sat
down between the two ladies'.
"Mr. Van Torp," said Mrs. Rush
more. Il insist upon knowing what
has become Of Countess Leven."

swered the millionaire, slowly rubbing
his hands. II haven't spoken to her

theirs country seat is next to mine,
Mrs. Rushmore. l hope you'll pay
me a visit some day. Why. yes, Lady
Maud sometimes goes on alone and
walks miles and miles"
There. Margaret" said Mrs. Rush
more triumphantly. what did 1 tell
you? Mr.. Van Torp says the countess
often walks for miles and milss."
why, certainly" said Mr.. Van
Torp, though I'm bound to say she's
just as fond of horseback Her friends
generally call her Lady Maud, Mrs.
Rushmore. Perhaps you won't mind
my telling you, as she prefers It a
good deal herself. You see, I've had
the pleasure of knowing her several
years. so l daresay you'll forgive me
for mentioning it,"
II think it lie quite kind OF you, on
the contrary" answered Mrs. Rush
more. Margaret. why did you never
