Il understand now what puzzled me
then. 1t seemed that my sister went
into the next car and tried to make
my wife promise not to interfere. But
Ida-Mrs. Sullivan-was firm, of
course. She said her father had pa
pers, certificates and so on, that
would stop the marriage at once.
"She said, also, that her father was
in our car, and that there would be
the mischief to pay in the morning.
It was probably when my sister tried
to get the papers that he awakened
and she had to do what she did"
1t was over. Save for technically
or two, I was a free man. Alison
rose quietly and prepared to so; the
men stood to let her pass, save Sulli-
van, who sat crouched in his chair,
his face buried in his hands.
Mcknight saw her, with Mrs. Dali

again. The gathering in the office
was breaking up: Johnson had slipped
away as unostentatiously as he came.
Sullivan, looking worn and old, was
standing by the window, staring at
the broken necklace in his hand.

DISFiGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little babys face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

TELEPATHY A CURE
FOR POET MILLER
Daughter Sent Health
Waves While Crossing
Continent.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 27.-"If re-
cover my former health, ] shall have
my daughters telepathic treatment to
thank" said the poet of the Sierras,''
Joaquin Miller, as he tcttersd out to
take his sun bath. The aged man is
looking remarkably better than before
the arrival of the young woman, and
declares that the need for doctors has
passed.
Juanita Monica Miller. who is well
known in New York for her literary
work. made a wild race across the con-
tinent when she learned Of the illness
OF her father. During her flying trip
from the East, says her father, she
treated him telepathlcalIy," though
tust what he means by that Mr.. Miller
declined to say.
1t Is enough that I am getting bet
ter. l can't go into details now" he
added. I'm too weak, but through the
ether my girl sent her sympathy, and it
has heartened me, when the doctors, in
their little wisdom, asserted l was
doomed TO pass"
Turning to the girl, who was standing
beside him, smiling down into his eyes,
he sighed You are better than all
that dope the medicos would have had
me take"
The doctors admit that since the COM
ing Of Miss Miller the aged poet has
grown vastly better.

Adele Richie Could
Not Take Dog With Her

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Adele Richie,
the actress. who sailed on the George
Washington, had 10 leave her dog be-
hind at the last minute. She had neg
lected TO send to the department of as-
riculture, in Whitehall, London. for q
certificate to fill out in time to anticl-
pate the sailing of the George Washing
ton to Southampton.
The purser of the ship refused to al
low the dog to come on board without
the certificate, as the animal would
surely have been refused permission to
land at Southampton and the butcher
OF the ship would have had to care fer
il indefinitely.
Rather than allow her pet to become
q public charge, Miss Ritchle sent the
dog to the home of a friend.
The actress said that IL she found
upon arrival in England that she could
not do as well professionally as here
she would return to America under the
management OF the Shuberts.

IMfREE AND HAPPY,
SAYS MRS. M'K|M
Returns to New York After
Restful Visit to Fathers
Home.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Marga-
ret Emerson McKim has arrived in
New York free, happy, and glad of
it," to use her own words. But to
every request for a statement about
her expected engagement to Alfred g.
Vanderbilt she offered the pleading
protest that questions of such per-
Sonal nature were unfair"
The pretty divorcee insisted that she
had just returned from a very restful
visit to the winter home of her father,
Capt. Isaac Emerson, near George
town, S. c., with the intention of liv-
ing very quietly in New York. She
gave evidence of her intentions as
soon as she left the train at the Penn
sylvania terminal by lodging a dele
cation of newspaper reporters and
photographers.
Mrs. Mckim, attired in stunning
travelling suit of corduroy with turban
to match, slipped through the station,
passing within fifteen feet of the
waiting reporters as she hurried to
waiting automobile with a friend
and her maid. She heaVed a sigh of
evident relief as the auto whiZzed out
of the station. The fact that her train
arrived ahead of time helped her to
escape.
Captain Emerson accompanied his
daughter from his winter home, Arcadia,
but left the train at Baltimore.
Mrs. MCkim stated that she intended
to remain in New York for a limited
period. She will receive her personal
friends, but declined to discuss her social
plans.
In reply to a question about planning
to slip away to Europe she laughed and
replied
"Oh. that is impossible, for the news
papers would never permit me to do
that. Others succeed, but l never
could"

"Natoma Kiss" Not Real,
Declares Prima Donna

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-That IA
nous "Natoma Kiss" which the audi

lean grand opera thought was the most
long drawn out and violent they had
ever seen on any stage, is not a kiss at
all, according to Miss Grenville, the

Miss Grenville was very indignant
at reading wonderful descriptions OF the

This IS the most ridiculous nonsense

In the first place the stage kiss does
not exist. We have on our make-up

CLAD IN NIGHT GOWN
SHE SEEKS POLICE
Woman Climbs Down Fire
Escape When She Hears
Burglar.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Frightened
by the sound of some one trying to
open with a skeleton key the door
leading to her apartment, Mrs. Rose
Haber, thirty-nin years old, who re-
sides on the third floor of house at
113 Broome street, descended to the
street by the fire escape, and, attired
in a night gown. went in search OF
policeman.
As Policemen Kennedy and Strauss
accompanied by Mrs. Haber, were
fastening back to her apartment they
met Samuel Lazkin, twenty-six years
old, of % Monroe street, descending
the stairway, his arms filled with
garments: Recognizing the clothes as
her husbands Sunday suit, Mrs. HaDer
sDrang upon the frightened man. Be
fore the police could restrain her MIs:
Haber had inflicted several scratches
on Lazkin's face and had pulled out
two handfuls of his hair.
Later Mrs. Haber appeared In Essex
Market court as the complainant
against Lazkin, who was held by
Magistrate Freschi in bail Of $2,5o0
for a further hearing. Policemen Ken
nedy and Strauss testified that they
had found in Lazkin's possession
bunch of skeleton keys and small
piece of jewelry which had been taken
from the Haber apartment.
Mrs. Haber's husband is baker and
is employed at night: Just before
dawn, according to the story Mrs.
Haber told in court, she was awaken
ed by the sound of the key of her
bedroom door falling to the floor.
When she heard another key inserted
in the lock she sprang from her bed
and ran to an open window leading
to the fire-escape.
She gained an entrance to an apart
ment on the ground floor by awaken
ing a neighbor. Encountering a milk
man on this floor, she told him OF her
adventure. He accompanied her to the
street in search of a policeman. In
her bare feet and with her scanty
attire, Mrs. Haber led the two police
men and the milkman back to the
house.

SUIT CASE MISSING
FILLED WITH SNAKES
Owner Gets Pajamas and
Things In Exchange for
Zoo Pets.

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Sonle one ap-
propriated-it is not charged that any
one stole-a suit case full of snakes be-
longing to Raymond L. Ditmars. cura-
tor of the New York Geological Society.
When last seen the four serpents were
on exhibition at the Rocky Mountain
Club, in the Waldorf, on Saturday
night.
Mr.. Ditmars asked Mr.. Zayas. MAN.
ager of the club, fer permission to place
his snakes in his suit case, with the
understanding that Mr. Ditmars would
send for them the first thing yesterday
morning. Mr.. Ditmars sent for them.
He sent John Toomey, one of the Bronx
Park keepers. He told John Toomey to
find Mr.. Zayas and obtain from him the
suit case belonging tc Mr.. Ditmars.
Everything Explicit.
Everything was most explicit. Mr..
Zayas ioyfully surrendered that suit
case to John ToOmey on demand, pre-
senting to said Toomey at arms length
the suit case. marked d." for Dit
mars. Everything was most regular and
pleasant, and TOomey took the suit case
promptly to the Bronx Zoo, just as he
had been told by Mr.. Ditmars to do.
Mr.. Ditmars next told Mr.. Toomey to
remove the snakes from the suit case
and place each carefully in its glass
case. The curator had no doubt the rep
tiles would appreciate the change. Too
mey took from the suit case one pair of
trousers, one suit of pajamas, one shirt,
and some collars. EIe looked all through
the suit case, but could not find the
snakes. Mr.. Ditmars talked on the
telephone with Mr. Zayas, who searched
the Rocky Mountain Club rooms.
mo, It's not here" shouted Mr.. Zayas,
meaning the suit case filled with snakes.
''One Of our comrades must have taken
your suit case by mistake"
May Be Angry.
The man who expects pajamas and
finds an educated king snake belonging
to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, an indigo snake,
a scarlet racer, and a boa constructor,
the latter unravelling to a total Of nine
feet, will be angry 10 think that some
one has run off with his night clothes.
Mr.. Ditmars does not like to have any
one feel that he would retain another
mans pajamas. Both men are annoyed
but, of course, the interest centers in
the Identity of the unknown member Of
the Rocky Mountain Club who has been
face to face with the problem of anus
iLg over Sunday four perfectly strange
snakes.
Snakes are said to have a we'll
developed nervous system and to be in
telligent. Many show docility and re-
gard for their friends. The most highly
developed snakes are those with a
poison apparatus. Mr.. Ditmars saws
that his four missing snakes were harm
less. The question is: Does the man
