SYNOPSIS.

Eleanora de Toscana was singing In
Paris, which, perhaps, accounted for Ed
ward Courtlandts appearance there. Null
timillionaire. he wandered about where
fancy dictated. He might be in Paris one
day and Kamchatka the next. Following
the opera he goes to cafe and is &C
costed by a pretty young woman. She
gave him the address of Flora Desimone,
vocal rival of Toscana, and Flora gives
him the address of Eleanora, whom he is
determined to see. Courtlandt enters
Eleanora's apartments. She orders him
out and shoots at him. The next day
Paris is shocked by the. mysterious dis
appearance Of the prima donna. Realizing
that he may be suspected Of the abduc-
ton Of Eleanora Courtlandt arranges for
an abb. Eleanora reappears and accuses
Courtlandt of having abducted her. His
alibi is satisfactory to the police and the
charge is dismissed. Eleanora fees to
Lake Como to rest after the shock. She

cured her abduction. Courtlandt also goes

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees Of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as winter
resort, offers an irresistible invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting picture on the
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
it's perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and it's lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
"The charge per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
eff any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommodate
ton accorded to those paying the high
est price.
''If any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated,
and shall receive the amount of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. It's walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home.

Empty Titles.

The emperor of Austria, it has been
noted, lays claim to the title marquis
of Antwerp. If all European SOW
ereigns could make good their minor
territorial titles there would, indeed,
be a reconstruction of the map. The
king of Italy, for instance, is officially
styled king Of Sardinia, France, Spain
and England, of Italy and Jerusalem,
of Greece and Alexandria, Of Hamburg
and Sicily, Master of the Deep, King OF
the Earth. The king Of Spain also
claims to be king OF Jerusalem, king
of Galicia Ga title shared with the en-
peror of Austria), and, in addition,
king of Gibraltar, OF the West Indies
and of India.

The Bridal Trousseau.

The old idea of providing brides
with a score or more of gowns, wraps
and hats has quite gone by. Even the
fashionable trousseau Of today con-
tains no more than a dozen gowns, II
as many. Styles change SO fast that
by fall the gowns for the June we'd
ding, necessarily made some weeks be-
fore the ceremony, begin to look odd.
Some authority has declared that the
best dressed woman in Paris buys no
more than three new toilets each year,
but the opinion may be ventured that
she is altering her last years supply
most of the time. The vast assert
ments Of lingerie have also dwindled.
Nobody provides such a multitudinous
wedding outfit nowadays as used to be
required .-Leslies.

cent meeting of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis and states that the term
'anti-tuberculosis work as it relates
to the expenditure of Red Cross seal
money shall include the following &C.
tivities:

lous.

camps for the tuberculous; the provi-
sion and maintenance of dispensaries,

air classes, or preventoria for the care
or treatment of tuberculosis cases or
for the prevention of the spread Of tu-

or legislative activities which have for
their object the prevention of infection

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of physician
in his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way, is valuable:

near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition I could not
retain any ordinary food. | knew OF
course that I must have food nourish-
nent or / could never recover.
II began to take four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
q day and for weeks this was almost
my only food. 1t tasted so delicious
that l enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing
l was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is of great value as food
to SUSTAIN life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged
it cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.
Il am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are 9TH
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."

Cleveland Pulled Bone.

The Cleveland club deserves little
sympathy if it has lost Pitchers
Blanding and Falkenberg. Judged
from what these players say their
treatment was not of the best and
they really appear to have had a
kick coming.
1t is mighty short-sighted policy
for a club to have any salary argu-
ments with it's players under present
conditions and in the case Of the
Cleveland pitchers both seemed en-
ii led to raises instead OF cuts. The
great trouble with the Cleveland
club seems to be that some one
besides Manager Birmingham sends
out the contracts The signing Of
players should always be left to the
man in charge Of the team, for he
is best qualified to Judge the worth
of his charges and is much more
apt to come to satisfactory under
standing with them than any other
official of the club.
