BOTH COMFORT AND STYLE AID FOR THE COMPLEXION
What Might Be Called the Grape Cure
Is Said to Be AstonlshIngly
Effective.


In counting over beauty's necessi-
ties good complexion takes the first
place.
This new prescription for beautify-
ing the complexion recommends itself
by its simplicity. A wineglass full of
the juice Of freshly squeezed grapes is
taken each morning an hour before
breakfast Each night, before retir-
ing, the face and neck are to be
spatted with fresh cream, which Is al
lowed to stay on for about ten min
utes. This is then washed of with
hot water, but not too hot; good
soap, or oatmeal, and the skin dried
by softly dabbing 1t with fine towel,
Here one may mention that the face
should never be rubbed with coarse
towel
When the skin is quite dry the
finger-tips are dipped in fresh grape
juice and the face and neck spatted
with it. Leave the Juice to dry on
and then lightly massage to remove
the rather drawn feeling. taking care
to rub any lines on the face the OPP
posite way; for example. the laugh
ter" wrinkles under the eyes should
be smoothed from the corner of the
eye to the nose lightly but firmly.
Persevere in this treatment, we are
told, and tn a week or so one will see
improvement. the eyes will be clear
er, the result of the morning dose,
and the skin finer from the treatment.

AS Alex and / reached the second
floor, Mr.. Jameson met us. he was
grave and quiet, and he nodded COM
prehendingly when he saw the safe
"Will you come with me for mo-
ment, Miss Innes?" he asked soberly,
and ON my asserting, he led the way
to the east wing. There were lights
moving around below, and some OF
the maids were standing gaping down.
They screamed when they saw me,
and drew back to let me pass. There
was sort of hush over the scene;
Alex, behind me, muttered something
/ could not hear, and brushed past me
without ceremony. Then l realized
that a man was lying doubled up at
the foot of the staircase, and that
Alex was stopping over him.
AS I came slowly down, Winters
stepped back, and Alex Strengthened
himself, looking at me across the
body with impenetrable eyes. In his
hand he held shaggy gray wig, and
before me on the floor lay the man
whose headstope stood in Casanova

sew around and pointed. They were
quite unconscious OF us; her head was
on his shoulder, his face against her
hair. AS it happened. it was Mr..
Jameson who broke up the tableau.
He stepped over to Alex and
touched him on the arm.
"And now" he said quietly, now
long are you and to play our little
comedy, Mr.. Bailey?

into acQuiescence by her mothers APP
peals, overwhelmed by the situation,
the girl consented and fed.
From somewhere in Colorado she
sent an anonymous telegram to Jack
Bailey at the Traders bank. Trapped
as she was, She did not want to see
an innocent man arrested. The tele-
gram, received on Thursday, had sent
the cashier to the bank that night in
a frenzy.
Louise arrived at Sunnyside and
found the house rented. Not knowing
what to do, she sent for Arnold at the
Greenwood club, and told him little,
not all. She told him that there was
something wrong, and that the bank
was about to close. That his father
was responsible. or the conspiracy
she said nothing. To her surprise,
Arnold already knew, through Bailey
that night, that things were not right.
Moreover. he suspected what Louise
did not, that the money was hidden at
Sunnyside. He had a scrap of paper
that indicated concealed room some
where. ...-- = 1850
His inherited cupidity was aroused.
Eager to get Halsey and Jack Bailey
out of the house. he went up to the
east entry, and in the billiard room
gave the cashier what he had refused
earlier in the evening-the address of
Paul Armstrong in California and a
telegram which had been forwarded
to the club for Bailey, from DR.. Walk,
er. 1t was in response to one Bailey
had sent, and it said that Paul Arm
strong was very Ill.
Bailey was almost desperate. He
decided to go west and find Paul Arm
strong and to force him to disgorge.
But the catastrophe at the bank oc-
Cured sooner than he had expected.
On the moment of starting west, at
Andrews station, where Mr.. Jameson
had located the car, he read that the
bank had closed, and, going back, sur
rendered himself.
John Bailey had known Paul Arm,
strong intimately. He did not believe
that the money was gone; in fact, it
was hardly possible in the interval
since the securities had been taken.
Where was it? And from some chance
remark let fall some months earlier
by Arnold Armstrong at a dinner,
Bailey felt sure there was hidden
room at Sunnyside. He tried to see
the architect of the building, but, like
the contractor, if be knew of the
room, he refused any information. 1t
was Halsey's idea that John Bailey

used on the outer garments as trim

beads that will throw velvet forms

 Nashville, January 6.-(Special) )-The Nothing Doing sign continued to adorn the doors of the Tennessee state house to- day. As the time for converting the house arrived not a man of the striking legislators was found presenting his cer- tihcate of election. Both the house and senate met briefly, the same 5s members of the lower body being in their seats and ready for business should as many as four blockading regular democrats come in to complete a constitutional quo rum for regular business.
 The only matter that came up for dis cussion in the house was as to the length of time of adjournment. a motion to sus- pend sessions until Monday being defeat ed In favor of another attempt to pro- ceed with business tomorrow morning. The same tip is out that tomorrow will certainly find at least four regular" democrats ready to qualify for member .ship, in which event the remaining hold outs can be arrested and their attendance forced.
 Several of the obstruction contingent have gone home, but they will likely be quick to return just as soon as the house is regularly organized. While the situa- ton has been marked by a lengthy strain calculated to arouse passion and affect the nerves of participants an apparently much better feeling exists today than at any previous time. This situation, caus- ing a general feeling that tomorrow

TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE IS
 AT COMPLETE STANDSTILL

moring will likely find the breach healed
 A compromise upon the basis of all con tests on both sides being withdrawn in 10th houses is the understood basis of harmony Meeting on this ground things would be stand-off as there is but one serious contest in each house with the interests of each side involved.
 A material factor indicating that an ear ly break will occur which will clear the atmosphere is that strong home pressure is in many instances being brought to bear on hold-out legislators. That the states business is paralyzed and at the expense of $500 per day now being paid in salaries of members already seated is the wedge being used to prize strikers into action.
 The senates only business of the day was to adjourn until Monday. This action was reached after hot tilt between for mer Gov John l. Cox and Senator Holli- day, the discussion hinging upon whether Sunday is a legal holiday in the mean ing of the, Tennessee statute which for bids a legislative body to adjourn longer than three days. Upon the present tan gle being strengthened out there will i'm mediately be lively scrimmage for ad- vantage in the impending battle for the United States senatorship and the election of state treasurer and comptroller
 One question only separates the two fac tions-which faction will dominate in joint session of the two houses? The fusion party has 66 members. while the regulars have 65 and declare they command 67. If the claims of the regulars are sound they will control on joint ballot and be able to elect the United States senator, state officers and shape the complexion of the state board of elections.
 Leaders of the regular faction declare they will never agree to unseat a mem | Al. tro on joint ballot and they will not help to make up quorum in the house un- less the fusionists agreed to withdraw the six or eight contests which have been filed
 The fusionists, on the other hand, de- clare they will dispose of the contests on their merits and will give the regu- lars fair deal, If they will consent to take oath and aid in organizing the house. The regulars insist that the fusion leaders put this agreement in black and white, otherwise they will not treat with them.

DARING HOLDUP
 AND MURDER BY
 TWO BOY BANDITS

Duluth, Minn., January Civilian Muzzary, 20 years old, and Algot Johnson, discharged bellboy and night porter, re- spectively, of the Hotel Mckay, early today held up, robbed and shot at the night clerk. Then they escaped with $50 belonging to the hostelry.
 Both were arrested and placed on a street car after chase through the inter- state bridge district, and while being taken back to the city asked that they be allowed to go inside the car. The request was granted. One of the youthful ban dts quickly pulled revolver from a pocket that had escaped the notice of Policeman Harry Chenore, who had made the arrest, opened fire upon the officer and killed him. He was shot twice in the lungs and once in the forehead. The robbers then held up the passengers and crew of the street car and at 6:3 a. m. made good their escape over the Northern Pacific railroad bridge, 1t is believed. Up to 10 a. m. the two bandits had eVaded the police and citizens, large crowd of the latter having joiner in the hunt. Au- tomobiles motorcycles and the entire po- lice force followed the robbers into the sawmill district, where the robbers are believed to be. Out on the ice of St. Louis bay policemen have been stationed to prevent an escape into Wisconsin.
 As the bandits are armed it is thought that when their place of concealment Is discovered there probably will be a re- volver battle.
 |. The two boys entered the hotel about 3:45 o'clock this morning. Clarence Stub- sted, the night clerk, and Charles Firoved. the night porter, were standing beside the desk.
 Hold up your hands!' shouted one Of the boys, pointing a revolver
 The clerk and the porter thought the boys were joking. To show that they were in earnest, one of the boys fired shot through the floor near the desk, and the clerk and porter put their hands up.
 The youths then marched them into the dining room and ordered them to stand up against the large iron post in the mid de of the room. While one of the boys covered the two men with the revolver, the other hastily gathered some table linen and tied their hands to the post above their heads.
 The boys then returned to the desk and went through the cash register, taking about $50 in cash and made their escape.
 The two men were later released by a rubber from the bath parlors in the base ment and they then gave the alarm.
