CHAPTER Ill.
In Darkest CHICAGO,

The castaways from the wrecked
taxicab hurried along the dolefu
street Both of them knew their Chi
cago, but this part of it was not thei1
Chicago
They hailed a pedestrian, to ask
where the nearest street car line
might be, and whittier it might run
He answered indistinctly from a dis

Perhaps he thought their question

trotted alongside his military pace
Lets take the first car we meet, and

at the street where the minister
lives"
Perhaps" There was not much
confidence in that perhaps"
When they reached the street-carre6
street, they found two tracks, but
nothing occupying them, as far as
they could peer either way. A small
shopkeeper in tiny shop proved to
be delicatessen merchant so busily
selling foreign horrors to aliens, that
they learned nothing from him.
At length, in the far-away, they
made out headlight, and heard the
grind and squeal of a car. Lieutenant
Mallory waited for it, watch in hand
He boosted Marjorie-s elbow aboard
and bombarded the conductor with
questions. But the conductor had nc
more heard of their street than they
had of his. Their agitation did not
disturb his stole calm, but he invited
them to come along to the next cross
ing, where they could find another cal

what promised better, perhaps a cab
He threw Marjorie into a panic by
ordering her to jettison Snoozleums
but the lieutenant bought his soul fol-
a small price, and overlooked the fact
that he did not ring up their fares.
The young couple squeezed into 8
seat and talked anxiously in sharp
whispers.

Then he took from his pocket an
envelope addressed to Ira Lathrop &
Co., and from the envelope he took q
contract, and studied it grimly The
envelope bore Chinese stamp.
The porter, as he struggled with an
obstinate window, wondered what
sort of passenger fate would send him
next.

"San Francisco? San Francisco?

The Yankee felt called upon to
check the foreign usurper.
"Porrterr!"
"Yassah!"
Don't let that fellow monopolize
you. He probably won't tip you at

The porter grew confidential:
"Oh, | know his kind, sab. They
don't tip you for what you do do, but
they're ready letter writer's to the
Sooperirtendent for what you don't

"Pawtah! I say, pawtah!"

The porter tried to initiate the
Irish bird and be in two places at
once. The American had coin in
his hand. The porter caught the CLEAN
of it, and fitted thither The Yankee
growled:

and when we get to Frisco there may
be something more"
The porter had the coin in his hand.

man. But he could not settle on a way
to say it. So he said nothing, and
grinned sheepishly as he said it.
The young man named Harry was
wondering how they were to proceed
He had already studied the region
with dismay, when the girl resolved !:
We'll have to take another taxi,
Harry"
Yes, Marjorie, but we can't take it
till we get it,"
You might wait here all night wit
out ketchin' a Gimp of one," the
chauffeur ventured. Il come this way
because you wanted me to take a
short cut"
It's the longest short cut I ever
saw" the young man sighed, as he
gazed this way and that.
The place of their shipwreck was so
deserted that not even a crowd had
gathered. The racket of the collision
had not brought single policeman.
They were in dead world of granite
warehouses, wholesale stores and fac
tories, all locked and forbidding, and
full of silent gloom.
In the daytime this was big trade
artery of Chicago, and all day long it
was thunderous with trucks and COM
merce. At night it was Pompeii, so
utterly abandoned that the night
watchmen rarely slept outside, and
no footpad found it worth while to
set up shop
The three castaways stared every
which way, and every which way was
peace. The ghost of pedestrian or
two hurried by in the far distance.
A cat or two went furtively in search
of warfare or romance. The lamp
posts stretched on and on in both d.
rections in two forevers.
In the faraway there was a muf-
fed rumble and the faint clang of a
bell. Somewhere a street car was
humping along its rails.
"Our only hope" said Harry. Come
along, Marjorie"
He handed the chauffeur five dollars
as a poultice to his wounds. tucked
the girl under one arm and the dog
basket under the other, and set out,
calling back to the chauffeur:
Good night"
Good night" the girl called back.
Good night" the chauffeur echoed.
He stood watching them with the ten
der gaze that even a chauffeur may
feel for young love Fastening to a
He stood beaming so, till their foot
steps died in the silence Then he
turned back to the chaotic remnants
of his machine. He worked at it hope
lessly for some time, before he had
reason to look within. There he
found the handbags and suitcases, UNI
brellas and other equipment. He ran
to the corner to call after the owners.
They were as absent of body as they
had been absent of mind.

PROBLEM THAT PUZZLED HIM

1t was a charming summer morning.
Bobby, aged five: Seth, aged four, and
Jennie, aged three, were escorting
their father, Doctor Jackson on his
daily visit to the village postoffi ce
He had promised them candy, and
they struggled along in great content
Opposite the telephone Office the

stop by the operator, who appeared
in the door and beckoned the doctor

your wife said you We're on your way

The doctor turned about hurriedly,
bnt the three pleading faces made
him hesitate. He thrust his hand into
his pocket, found no pennies. So
he selected nickel, and placed it
in Bohby's hand.
Now, Bobby. papa must hurry.
You take this and get the candy. Get
some for Seth and Jennie. 100, you
know And be sure to go right back
home after you get tt
Bobby, who had not yet learned that
there were coins of larger value than
the penny, took the nickel with
out much enthusiasm. and the chill

Doctor Tells How to
Shed Bad Complexion

We cannot restore degenerated facial
tissue any more than we can restore
a lost limb. 1t is useless to attempt
to convert a WORKOUT complexion into
a new one. The rational procedure
is to remove the complexion instead
remove the devitalized cuticle. Not
by surgical means, however, as the
underlying CUTS is too thin, too tender
to Withstand immediate exposure. APP
plying ordinary mercolized wax will
gradually absorb the offending cuticle
BY degrees, a new, youthful skin APP
pears; skin soft and delicately tint
ed as a rose petal.
No lady need hesitate to try this.
Procure an ounce Of mercolized wax
or the druggist. Spread on a thin layer
before retiring, removing this in the
morning with soap and water. In from
one to two weeks the complexion is
completely transformed.
An approved treatment for wrinkles
Is provided by dissolving an ounce OF
powdered saxolite in a half-pint witch
hazel Bathing the face in the solu-
ton brings prompt results-Dr. Ru-
pert Mackenzie in Popular Medicine.

Milady's Toilet Table
BY Nine. D'MILLE

Dull and lifeless hair makes a wom-
an look older than she should. Dry
shampooing makes the hair bright,
fluffy and clean-full of life and lus-
tire. Put four ounces of powdered or
ris root in a fruit jar and mix il well
with an original package Of therox.
Sprinkle a teaspoonful of the mixture
on the head once a week and brush
it out thoroughly. Therox makes hair
grow when everything else fails.
"The natural beauty of a persons
face is married by thin and straggly
eyebrows and lashes. Rubbing gently
with plain pyroxin will induce them to
grow long, thick and silky. The eye
brows should be brushed daily to train
them to grow into an arch.
Instead of powder and paint, use a
simple complexion lotion made at
home by dissolving an original pack
age of mayatone in a half pint of
witch hazel. Gently rub over the face
in the morning and all day your skin
will be as clear, soft and satiny as a
baby's-with no dark or muddy dis
colorations.
'Delatone is equal to the electric
needle for the removal of superfluous
hair, is positively painless. and not
nearly so expensive. Just mix a little
delatone with water; cover the wild
hairs with this paste: let it remain
two minutes: then wash the skin. and
the hairs will be gone

For Thou, my Savior, wilt be near.
In that last hour, my eager soul
Shall mount beyond the farthest

To where His pleasant rivers roll,
To where His fields are ever new.
Death can do naught but pale my

And fold my weary hands in rest,
The while my soul shall swiftly seek
The shelter OF its Masters breast.
