FOR BA5Y's COUGHS AND COLDS.


 Do not give that little baby cough syrup designed for older people The tender organism requires something specially designed for it.
 The very best remedy. we believe, is ReXall Baby Cough Syrup. There Is nothing in it that can harm the most delicate infant, although it is most efficient in the treatment of coughs, hoaTseness, Hhooplng cough, and sim liar diseases of the air passages.
 It is so pleasant to take and so pleasant In results that we know, once you use it for baby, you will be grate- ful to Us for having recommended it to you.

AT THE PRINCESS.

For the first time in the history of the Princess we are holding over an act that is so big and so entertaining that Princess patrons simply could not get enough of it ill the two days the act showed during the first half of the week
 This act is the Gus Sun musical min strel act. The Conservatory of Mu. sic" a great big, masterful production of music and minstrelsy the most ar tistic and at the same time the most ridiculous act ever staged. Four splen- did black face musicians comprise the act, and everyone is an artist. Even their burlesque numbers cannot con. ceal their artistic ability. The big xylophone trio is undoubtedly the greatest musical number ever given at the Princess. The fact that this trio has been called back time and time again during the past two days, and that inc act has been required to re- spond to encores until it worked double tae allotted time at each ap- pearance stamps it as one of the big gest and best things of the season.
 The floods in Texas prevented this act from appearing three full days in the first half, and the Princess man. agement has decided to hold this splendid offering over for the last three days of the week, confident that every man, woman and child in the city will want to See it.
 There are four other big acts-all good ones-in connection.
 The Holsworths, artistic banjoists, are another splendid musical number. This talented pair appear in big repertoire of banjo solos and duets, played in such a manner that you will almost admit that you never heard the banjo before.
 Courtney the man who juggles and jokes, is another real hit. He is one of the greatest jugglers in vaudeville, and he has a quiet line of comedy that adds to the attractiyeness of the act.
 Beatrice Sweeney and Company contortionists bring a new and very attractive acrobatic act. These clever people. man and woman perform thei- stunts on the floor, on the bars and in other new and difficult positions showing some novel variations of the contortion game.
 Happy Golden, the jolly fat boy, whc represents himself as 250 pounds ot song and chatter, will be one of the greatest comedy single acts of the lprosent season. He is a jolly joker and a singer of real excellence, ant Se will be one Of the bright spots o1 the bill
 The P.incesscope pictures for the last half are especially attractive and interesting. furnishing a fitting close to magnificent vaudeville bill.

The demands of dramatic sequence are strictly ad- hered to at all etimes, while the work of getting the story before the public gaze is so admirably done that Ben Hur," aside from it's natural beauties, should live as an example of what when the right conjunction of author dramatist, producer and stage direc. tor is reached. The last scene of this great dramatic spectacle is one that will live forever in the history of the American drama. 1t shows tine reun, ion of the mother, daughter and son, after their years of suffering, the great white light from Mount Alivet indi. eating their healing at the hands of the Master. There is woe, despair and the accumulated suffering of three wearied souls all brought out in this scene, until in the presence Of the Light, relief comes and, on nts wings, the ecstatic joy that reunion brings, sending a thrill through the audience that never fails to maeBe an everlasting impression.

rush was made for the stairs and
soon the whole building was in an up
roar. But when this especial room was
reached, 1t was found locked and on
the door a paper pinned up, on which
these words were written: Gone to

Words that recalled a circumstance to
the janitor. He had seen the gentle
man go out an hour before. This ter
minated gil inquiry in this direction,
though some few of the excited throng
were for battering down this door just
as they had the other one. But they
were overruled by the janitor, who
saw no use in such wholesale destruc-
ton, and presently the arrival of the
police restored order and limited the
inquiry to the rear building, where it
undoubtedly belonged
Mr.. Gryce," (here Sweetwater laid
by his notes that he might address the
old gentleman more Directly, Il was
with the boys when they made their
first official investigation. This is
why you can rely upon the facts as
here given. l followed the investiga-
ton closely and missed nothing which
could in any way throw light on the
case. 1t was a mysterious one from
the first, and lost nothing by further
inquiry into the details.
The first fact TO startle us as we
made our way up through the crowd
| which blocked halls and staircases
was this: A doctor had been found
and, though he had been forbidden to
make more than a cursory examina-
ton of the body till the coroner came,
he had not hesitated to declare after
his first look, that the wound had not
been made by bullet but by some
sharp and slender weapon thrust
home by a powerful hand. (You mark
that, Mr.. Gryce.) AS this seemed i'm
possible in face OF the fact that the
door had been found buttoned on the
inside, we did not give much credit to
his opinion and began our work under
the obvious theory OF an accidental
discharge of some gun from one of the
windows across the court. But the
doctor was nearer right than we sup
posed. When the coroner came to
look into the matter, he discovered
that the wound was not only too small
to have been made by the ordinary
bullet, but that there was no bullet to
be found in the woman's body or any
where else Her heart had been
reached by a thrust and not by shot
from a gun. Mr.. Gryce, have you
not heard startling repetition of
this report in case nearer at hand?

animation by saying:

stand that Notwithstanding your
break with Miss Challoner, you
have kept up your visits to the
Clermont and were even on the spot

"On the spot?"
''In the hotel, l mean"
There you are right; was in the

"At the time of her death?"
Very near the time. / remember

You did, and did aot return?"
why should return? l am not a
man of much curiosity. There was no
reason why should connect sudden
alarm in the lobby of tho Clermont
with any cause of special interest to
myself"
This was so true and the look which
accompanied the words was so frank
that the coroner hesitated a moment
before he said:
Certainly not. unless-well, to be
direct, unless you had just seen Miss
Challoner and knew her state OF mind
and what was likely to follow your
abrupt departure"

loner."
But you saw her? Saw her that
evening and just before the accident?"
Sweetwater's papers ratified; 1t was
the only sound to be heard in that
moment of silence. Then
What do you mean by those
words?" inquired Mr.. Brotherson, with
studied composure. 81 have said that

Nothing-not even the rafting OF
Sweetwater's papers-disturbed the
silence which followed this admission.
From where?" Doctor Heath asked
at last.
From point far enough away to
make any communication between us
