What's the matter now?" Warren
looked up with scowl.

Throwing down his book, Warren
strode over, and. catching her roughly
by the shoulder, whirled her around
so the light would fail on the orna-

hung from the center OF the pedant

But it was not in his pocket, and
Helen's frantic search around the floor
was fruitless.
FRUITLESs SEARCH
Warren maintained the grim si-
ience which to her was more terrify-
ing than any violent raging. She
was stiil cropping blindly around the
floor in a tremendous, futile search.
NOh, II couldn't have fallen in the

Their Married Life

Tell him about it. Emma" urged
Mr.. Stevens.
Last summer at the Hotel shore
grove" began Mrs. Stevens, who loved
to tell story, I'VE met Mrs. Bar
clay. She's supposed to be a wealthy
widow, but Henry thinks she's some-
thing of an adventures At any rate,
she has some wonderful jewelry. Yes
terday she came here with long
story It scenes she lost lot OF
money in stocks and can't realize just
now on any of her investments, so she
wants to sell some of her jewelry
She said / could have this for just
what she could pawn it for.
Sounds a little fishy." shrugged
Warren, who was always skeptical
about such stories.
"Of course. don't know how much
of it's true. But, at any rate, TINS
must be worth a hundred and fifty.
IF that pearls all right, it ought
to be worth great deal more.
agreed warren
Again Mrs. Stevens took the pendant
from it's case and clasped 1t around
Helen's neck.
UP TO WARREN

toward Warren. why don't you

The pause that followed was some
what awkward No man likes to be
put in the position Of admitting that
he can not afford or does not want
to give his wife jewelry.
"Oh, dear, you know I do not want
you to get me anything SO expen-
sive." faltered Helen. wishing des-
perately that Mrs. Stevens had not
made such a suggestion.
why not take 1t home and think
about it? I don't have to give Mrs.
Barclay a decision until day after
tomorrow. I'm satisfied that it's
worth more than that; but If you're
not. why not take IT some place and
have it valued?"
s'Oh, no. no. protested Helen. I'D
be afraid Id lose it or something
might happen to it,
In spite OF Warren's frowning dis
approval, Helen finally yielded to
Mrs stevens insistence and put the
case in her pocket.
For the rest Of the evening Helen
could think of nothing but the pearl
lavalliere. It. would be wonderful
with evening gowns and she could
wear it in the afternoon. too. Only
yesterday she had ridden down Fifth
avenue with an extensively dressed

But would Warren be willing to

| Later, when they were leaving, Mrs.
Stevens whispered:
Now, don't be little goose. Let
him get it for you If he wants to-"
| HELEN Is SORRY
But outside Helen took Warrens
arm with an anxious:

Helen could not resist taking out

"oh. this pearl MUST be genuine
they couldn't initiate that luster"
Put that away growled Warren
This is no place to look at 1t. Every

AS Helen closed the case, Warren
took it from her and put 1t in his

But when they reached home
Helen's eager excitement could not
be suppressed She few into the
dressing room and hurriedly slipped
on an evening gown.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 have come to you for some of
your good advice, which I think
viii help me great deal. I am
young girl who win be IL in a
few months. and am meeting a
man who is is years my senior.
He is a married man and has two
children; but he says he is going
to get separation from his wife
within few months. I love him.
dearly, and know that my love is
reciprocated, and it would break
my heart to give him up DO you
advise me to continue my ac-
quaintance with him7
BLUE EYES
vv1HAT a foolish letter, Blue Eyes:
M what a foolish, touching, ridic-
- ulous, pathetic letter, to be
sure.
In love with a married man, and
thinking that you're going to be
happy2
1t will break your heart to give him
up, you say. Well, 1 doubt it Per-
haps it viii; but / doubt it.
And even il your heart is broken;
it's kind of break that is very easily
mended. But, oh, the broken heart
that comes if you do not give HIM up
that can never, never in all the
world be cured again.
HOW ABOUT HERs
You're IL and the man is 35; he has
two children and a wife. and he says
he's going to get separation-just
for you.
What about the wife? What about
the children? How can you care any
thing for man who will throw
aside a woman who has borne hlm
children, just as il she was some
poor. worn-out old shoe - just be-
cause he happens to take a fancy to
pretty, new face?
Do you suppose you are the first
one this man has told that fairy
tale tog
DO you think for one minute that
you will be the last one?
What is there about you so won
derful that one look into your eyes
could change a decent man into a
cowardly sneak all of sudden?
For that is what this man you're
so dead in love with fs-a coward
and a sneak.
You don't believe it-of course not
poor little foolish thing-you don't
want to believe it.
But some day you wfll-some day
you'll come to it. and then
why not learn the lesson right now
before it ruins your life?
A SUGGESTION
~TIl tell you how.
Is there a man in your family--a
brother, father, or even a brother
in law?
Well, then. begin to talk about him
to this man you think is so dead in
love with you. Tell him you want
him to meet your brother. Tell him
your brother loves you and is proud
of you and wants to know every one
that you know. Make an engagement
to introduce the two men. and watch
your romantic sweetheart sneak out
of it, like the coward and the thief
that he is.
Why, he'll turn white at the very
mention of your brothers name. and
it won't be two weeks till you see
him making love to some girl who
has no man in the family to protect
her
Try it and see, Blue Eyes-try it
and see.
Some day you'n shudder to remem-
Der how cruel and selfish and wicked
and foolish you came so near to be-
ing.

TO RECOMMEND NEW
 ANTITRUST LAWS
The Senate Committee On Interstate Commerce to Make Report to
 Senate Next Week.

Washington, Feb. 22-Anti-trust legislation of a radical character IS to be recommended by the senate committee on interstate commerce i'll report early next week.
 Amendments to present laws will be urged to take away from the Supreme Court the discretionary power" 1t now exercises in administering the Sherman law and to define clearly certain forms of illegal combination, so business interests will know when they are violating the law.
 The report will be the termination of the trust investigation begun by the committee in l91. The decision of the Supreme Court that only "un- reasonable" restraints are in viola tion of the law forms the basis for radical suggestions by the committee to protect the antitrust law against what, it is certain amounts to leg islative action by the Supreme Court. To enable bushes interests to clearly understand what forms of combinations, agreements, contracts or pools are illegal, legislation will be urged to define them in exact terms. Members of the committee be- lieve this necessary to protect busi- ness interests tha tdesire to act with out violating the law but have no legal standard to inform them wheth- CT contemplated actions are within the law.
 It is understood that the report recommends the creation of a com mission to exercise general control over corporations doing business across state lines and that it urges amendments to the Sherman law which will compel corporations to re. main more independent in character than at present and that will enforce competitive conditions.

Camden, Ark, Feb. 22.In response to the suggestion of Judge w. T.

 County Judge E. B.

GIVEN ITS FREEDOM
 BUT DID NOT FLY AWAY
AMERICAN EAGLE DISAPPOINTED LARGE CROWD IN FRONT OF
 THE FARMERS BANK.
Had Been COOped Up For Several Weeks and It is Believed Has
 Lost Use of It's Wings.

When the mammoth American eagle, which for the past two months has been on exhibition in a cage in front of the Farmers Bank on Main street, was given it's freedom yester- day afternon before a large crowd of people, the proud king of birds had apparently forgotten how to fly and refused to soar away towards the crags of the Rockies as was expect ed.
 Instead the bird merely Tapped his wings and promenaded up and down the sidewalk in front of the bank and amazed a large number Of spectators by refusing to even try to fly.
 Cleveland Matthews had advertis- ed the fact that the bird would be re- leased yesterday afternoon and quite a number of people had gathered In front of the bank to witness the unl- que spectacle. All of them had eX- pected to see the giant bird soar gracefully away toward the moun- tains and his original home, immed- lately upon gaining his freedom, but when the cage door was opened, the eagle stepped out upon the sidewalk in a bewildered manner and gazed all around, but never even attempted to fly. One time it raised himself to his full height and stretched his wide-spreading wings, but all those expecting him to rise from the ground were disappointed as the proud bird merely turned around and walked up and down the sidewalk in front of his cage. It was an easy matter to drive him back into his little 'home' which he has occupied for the last two months and the bird even seemed glad to again get behind the bars. It is not known whether the eagle has really lost the use of it's wings as result of his long Imprisonment or has forgotten how to fly, but he
 will again be released in the near fu- ture and all efforts will be made to force him to take advantage of his liberty.
 Mir. Matthews stated that this was the first time he had ever advertised anything which did not happen just
 as he had said, but that in order to make good his work, he will continue to care for the giant bird until it takes it's freedom and leaves this vi cinity. The eagle was captured about two months ago by man in field near here, and since that time he has been on exhibition in the cage at the Far mers' Bank.

 Then l also have the Manalin Tab lets, which are similar in comuosi- tion to the fluid Manalin. In tablet form they are more convenient for some people. I believe them to be the best laxative tablet in the market. They are certai9ly made of the very best material, and constitute safe, convenient and effective laxative. Then there is the Lacuria a blood remedy. This remedy l regard as an alternative of first class quality in every particular.

Lacupia, taken according to the directions or the bottle is sure to prduce beneficial results. Tn most cases it can be re lied upon to entirely eradicate the trouble. In any case where it seems to fail a letter to me will be given prompt attention and I will endeavor to discover why a complete cure has not been experienced.
