Concerning Warts,

Strange beliefs relating to warts are
by no means confined to the young and
illiterate. They are sometimes found
among persons Of mature age and high
intelligence.
The noted German physician, Gen
ewein, recorded case in which the
cutting off of single wart from a
patients hand was speedily followed
by the disappearance Of all the warts
on his other hand The same au-
thority mentions another case in
which the removal of. wart from a
patients hand was followed by the dis
appearance of one from his chin.
In country neighborhood the boy
who is without his special wart cure
is an object of pity. One way to re-
move wart is to rub it with bit of
stoien bacon. Another was to persuade
a friend to count the warts and third
vas to rub them with cent piece and
least the coin into a pond.

SYNOPSIS.


The story opens on Long Island, near
New York city, where Miss Emily
Ffrench, a relative Of Ethan French,
manufacturer of the celebrated "Mer-
curry automobile loses her way. The
car has stopped and her cousin, Dick
Ffrench, is too muddled with drink to
direct it Alright. They meet another car
which is run by a professional racer
named Lestrange. The latter fixes up
the Ffrench car and directs Miss Ffrench
how to proceed homeward. Ethan
French has disinherited his son, who
has disappeared He informs Emily
plainly that he would like to have her
marry Dick, who is a good-natured but
irresponsible fellow. 1t appears that a
partner of Ethan Ffrench wanting an ex-
pert to race with the Mercury at auto
events, has engeged Lestrange, and at
the Ffrench factory Emily encounters the
young man. They refer pleasantly to
their meeting when Dick comes along and
recognizes the young racer. Dick likes
the way Lestrange ignores their first
meeting when he appeared to disad-
vantage.

Her voice died away. It was done;
she, Emily French, had deliberately
conf1ded to this stranger that which
an hour before she would have be-
