Ole Ole Bernard
Sisters
A Mystery That Huna About
Them Was Finally
Solved
by JEAN WINTER
BY JEAN WINTER

/ lived with my mother and sister In
an apartment building and there be-
came acquainted with the Bernard SIS
tiers, who occupied a small suit at the
other end of the floor on which we
were located. They lived very simply
and without maid. Their names were
Margaret and Grace, Margaret being
the older. Their names expressed their
general makeup, Margaret being strong
both physically and mentally; Grace
gentle and pliable. / supposed at first
that they had small income ON which
they lived. At any rate, they did not
go out regularly each day, as women do
who work for their living. But my Sis
ter, who was at home all day, said they
went out irregularly, usually remain
ing away from their rooms from two
to three hours at time. She believed
they went to keep some business en-
gagement, but they never mentioned
where they had been.
Soon after we met them In the apart
ment house my sister, thinking that
they must be lonely sitting by them
selves, asked them to come into our
rooms. They did so, and we were de-
lighted with them. Both seemed en-
dowed with the same gift, but in differ
ent ways. Possessing keen knowl-
edge of human nature, they could be
very entertaining in portraying 1t in
stories taken from their own. observa-
lions of everyday life. When Margaret
told Of some woman of high degree,
some tragic episode, some thrilling adj
venture, she threw herself into her part
as If she were a professional actress.
Grace was equally apt in narrating

Statement Prom Clarence B. Martin.

COPIED BY REQUEST
Martinsburg. w. Va,
May goth, 1912.
To the Editor of the Virginia Free
Press -
In your issue of May 10th, there was
communication from Mr.. Jas Hamill,
of Thurmont, MARYLAND, in which it
was alleged that ! was attorney for the
Martinsburg saloon interests. Mr..
Hamill is mistaken about this state
ment. am not only not an attorney
for any saloon interest. but / have
never had saloon man in any way,
shape or form. since have begun the
practice of law, as a client.
Mr.. Hamill also makes the statement
that at caucus called before the Sem
atorial Convention here four years ago
that was chairman Of the caucus and
that Mr.. Alex. Parks moved at that
caucus, that Mr.. Kump, of Hampshire
County, be selected Chairman of the
Convention. Mr.. Hamill is again in
error. Mr.. Humps selection as tenn
porary chairman of that Convention
was made long prior thereto by the
Senatorial Committee of this district
acting within the scope of its powers;
and that selection, as | remember il,
was made upon the motion of Mr..
Robert White, one Of the members Of
the Senatorial Committee from Hang
shire County. After the Convention
had been opened Mr. Kump was, by the
action of that Convention, made the
permanent Chairman of the Conven-
ton.
1 regret that Mr.. Hamill has seen fit
to make these statements, although
presume be made them from informa-
ton he no doubt received at that time.
Thanking you for giving as much
publicity to this statement as you did
to Mr.. HamilPs communication in your
last issue, | am,
Very truly yours,

MRS DAN KINTNER,
1902 Pleasant St, Defiance, Q.
Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat Of the
trouble. DIR. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

Nicely dumped another bunt along

Bugs" only chance for a meal

Dave Danforth, who was expected
to take the place of the veteran Eddie
Plank on Connie Macks pitching staff,
has been dropped to Jack Dunn's Bal
timore Orioles for further seasoning.
Dantorth looked like one of the biggest
finds in years when Connie dug him
UP and put him to work last season.
Mack, by the way, is acting as a sort
Of godfather to Dunn's club. Shawkey,
who is the property of the Athletics

rapidity.

Dundee and several other good boys

The little old man OF the ring
they call Johnny Couion.
Johnny's only twenty-three years
old, but he looks thirty. Maybe it is
his serious outlook upon life. maybe
his sparse growth of hair. Anyhow,
they call him the old man. and IN
one sense, at least, he is fully deserv-
ing of the apelstion. Johnny isn't old
in body, but there Is a very wise old
head on his very young shoulders
That's why he continues to reign as
the bantamweight champion Of the
world.
Every time Johnny goes into a fight
hes conditioned. Also, he can always
weigh in at 115 pounds at gong time
and retain all his strength and vigor.
He sees to it, too, that his opponents
make the same weight, and much Of
his success as a master fighter Is due
to this habit of never giving away a
pound.
For Ave years, now, Johnny has
ruled the roost in the bantamweight
division, and 1t looks as If he will
be good for five more.
