How to Eradicate
All Superfluous Hair
Advice by n Skin Specialist

AS soon as women of to-day learn
that permanent removal of ugly, re-
pulsive hair growths can only be gain
ed by. reaching the hair root n not
by using common, worthless depila-
tories such as burning pastes, powders,
evil-smelling liquids. etc. the better
1T will be for their happiness and
safety. Nor can the electric needle be
depended upon to give satisfactory
results without danger of horrible
scars of facial paralysis. The best
means 1 have ever found that never
fails to emove all signs of disfigur-
ing growths of hair on the face. neck,
arms or hands is a simple, inexpensive
preparation called Mrs. Osgood's Won
der. 1t is absolutely harmless, cannot
injure the skin or complexion and in a
surprisingly large number of cases has
succeeded in killing the hair down to
the very roots, source of all growth.
When the roots are killed no more hair
can grow. You can get Mrs. Osgood's
Wonder from Kennedy's Drug store or
any up-to-date druggist or department
store. Signed Money-Back guarantee
with every package. Let me caution
you however, not to apply this treat
ment except where total destruction of
hair is desired.

while leading her blind husband to

here to take a train last evening for
her home after a pleasant visit with
home of Mrs. c. Grove. into which she
was taken when overcome in the

that had overtaken his wife and was
cared for by friends. A physician who
was summoned as soon as the woman
was stricken could do nothing to help
her and she died a few minutes after
he arrived at her side. Mrs. Horn was
45 years old and is survived by her

husband. She will marry a man with
a lurid past, and bemoan herself be-
cause he is not faithful to her. She
will marry a moody, ~ill-tempered,
grouchy man, who is hard to get along
with and keep placated even in the
days of courtship, and she spends the
balance of her life complaining that
she's got a sore-headed bear for a
husband.
OF course, there are certain acct
dents that may occur on the matri-
monial journey, and against which no
prudence can insure one. One is bound
to take some risk. A man may lose
his health or his money. Occasionally
there is a man who waits until he is
forty ears old to SOW his wild oat
crop. Very rarely there is a woman
who develops a yellow streak in her
after marriage. Sometimes a healthy
girl becomes a nervous, shrewish
virago of a wife.
These catastrophies of matrimony
do not happen often. AS a general
thing, the man and woman after mar
rying, go on being exactly the same
kind of people they were before mar
riage, only a little more so, for there
Is something in marriage that brings
out what Is best, or worst, whichever
is the stronger in the individual.
Doe it take any prophet to foretell
the outcome of such a marriage? Is
there anything before the girl but mis-
cry and regret? Does 1t not really
seem that anyone is a fit candidate
for a padded cell who would make
such a marriage expecting to be happy
in it?
Yet this girl is no sillier than the
thousands of other girls, n thou
sands of other men, who marry for
one thing n expect another, and
who deliberately go into conditions of
living that they know are bound to
bring misery. vet who consider them
selves the victims of matrimony be-

desk for a moment and then disap-
peared. A gray form wriggled feet
first into the box, and the end under
the desk suddenly closed with q slight
click.
The truckmen entered, shouldered
the coffinllke case and, finding it light
er than they had expected, FASTENED
their steps that they might quickly
finish with their job for the night.
They passed out of the shop to the

cry was started out. At the gate the

Bill had told him that he would find
a path down the cliff a half mile north
Of the prison. 1t would lead to the
railroad tracks. He was to find it and
get away from main roads.
Montgomery counted on one hour be
fore his tier guard would demand an
explanation of his absence at the ma
chine shop and then give the alarm.
He estimated the distance by the
speed of the horses and at the proper
moment released the end of the box.
He drew himself forth and tumbled,
with q sidewise twist to the soft, earth
road. On hands and knees he scram-
bled into the shadow of some bushes
and took his bearings.
The road was deserted and the
houses all dark. The only sound wa
the creaking of the load of machinery,
which rapidly became fainter and
fainter. He plunged down the path
and at the bottom Of the cliff turned
and ran to the south through the little
tunnel under the prison.
There were six miles to to Tar
rytown, then three and q half miles
across the Hudson to Nyack and then
a mile and a half westward to the
West Shore railroad, which would take
him to the meadows of Newark bay.

freight at four In the morning. II
would not stop until Homestead was
reached. There some of the cars would
be shunted to the Erie tracks, and he
would be able to slip into the tall
marsh grass just as day was breaking.
Montgomery had five hours in which
to make the schedule outlined for him
by his burglar friend. he took the Gin
der path between the tracks, brought
his clinched hands to his chest and
started to run in a swinging stride,
his mouth closed and bis head thrown
