Inc day had been hot, and the first
moor dining room was sultry in spite
OF the palms and fans which ATTEMPTED
to simulate the verdure and breezes
OF the country
1t was crowded, too, with a typical
summer night crowd, and, after sit
ting for few minutes in a swelter-
ing corner, we got up and went to the
smaller dining room upstairs Here it
was not so warm, and we settled our
selves comfortably by a window.
Over in corner half a dozen boys
on their way back to school were rag
ging a perspiring waiter, proceed
ing so exactly to Meningitis taste
that he insisted on going over to join
them. But their table was full, and
somehow that kind of fun had lost it's
point for me-
Not far from us very stout, mid
dle-aged man, apoplectic with the
heat, was elephantinely jolly for the
benefit of bored-looking girl across
the table from him, and at the next
table newspaper woman ate alone,
the last edition propped against the
water bottle before her, her hat, for
GOODNESS, on the corner of the table.
1t was motley Bohemian crowd.
I looked over the room CASUALLY
while Mcknight ordered the meal
Then my attention was attracted to
the table next to ours. Two people
were sitting there, so deep in CONVEX
sation that they did not notice us.
The womans face was hidden under
her hat, as she traced the pattern of
the cloth mechanically with her fork.
But the mans features stood out clear
in the light of the candles on the
table 1t was Bronson!
''He shows the strain, doesn't he?"
Mcknight said, holding up the wine

''You have second advantage of me-
You know my name"-I paused sug-

flicked a crumb off the table with an
overmanicured finger.
The name was scarcely surprise.
l had already surmised that this
might be the woman whom rumor
credited as being Bronson's common
law wife. Rumor, | remembered, had
said other things even less pleasant,

Led by the Nose.

An analytical chemist was retained
as skilled witness some years ago,
where there are questions of analyt-
zeal chemistry. There was one case
where farmer had bought some ar
tificiaI manure, and he was being
sued for the price of it. He resisted
payment on the ground that the ma
terial had none of the qualities of
manure at all. The expert chemist
was one of the witnesses, and had
stated that, although the substance
had the smell, it had none of the
chemical qualities of manure. Under
REORGANIZATION he was asked, if
that was so, how did he account for
hundreds of the best farmers having
taken the manure for many years
"They must have been led by the
nose" returned the witness.

Why ShouldIU Use
Cuticura SOap?-

"There Is nothing the matter
with my skin, and l thought
Cuticura Soap vas only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to b,rvcnt skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylActic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruf and irritation.
While its first cost is Il few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
anL Of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most cconom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by
sending to "Cuticura," Dept. G g.,
Boston, for a liberal sample
cake, together with a thirty-two-
page book on the skin and hair.
