fore, the woman who had seemed SO
DESTROYS of being with him alone. de-
spite the gallants besieging her. And
Olga Drake, mistress of wealth and
beauty, was not less famous as a So
ciai dictator that he was as a singer.
In the carriage he could not drive
that contrast from his preoccupied
mind. He felt himself already a bit
irritated at the insistence of Ann that
the tiny cottage. the humble little
home in Los Angeles should not be
sold, that not a stick of-the furniture
be changed.
He flushed holly as she stumbled
entrance at the Van Rolphes', angry
with himself for the impulse which
made him seek out the eyes of Olga
Drake to find whether she had noticed
the slip, more angry to know that he
had smiled with her at his wife's mis-.
he loved, and no one had the right
to smile at her.
He turned toward her, assisting her
to their hostess, bracing his shoulders
against the gibes he knew her man
ner occasioned, with a smile upon
his lips. And then the guilty feeling
came upon him that he was feeling
the martyr. that he was taking pride
in his attitude of suffering.
In the modification of the moment
he found himself offering his arm to
Olga Drake, passing his wife without
a glance.
I'm afraid we frightened your poor
wife," Miss Drake murmured in his
ear.
He looked furtively at Olga Drake
at the note of sympathy in her voice.
And yet he merely smiled and sought
out his wife with his eyes. dropping
them more swiftly as they met the
mute appeal in AIMS own eyes. He
was conscious of chattering volubly
about nothing in particular, vas aware
that his face was burning.
A farmers daughter he had mar
ried. A milkman's wife he had made
her. And, equally Indifferent to aught
she was Il still.

He paced the library floor nervous
ly. every nerve in his body jangling
discordantly at the chatter of his wife
in the next room, the confusion of her
undignified romping with the baby.
Only the night before he had given
a wretched performance. his voice
turning hoarse. Only the night be-
fore he had titled with Olga Drake,
for the first time in all the months
during which their intimacy had
grown to such an extent, that there
were whispers about it.
First, he had tried to break away
from the spell she cast upon him. But
his work threw him with her set and
his wife used every subterfuge to avoid
accompanying him TO any affair which
might aid him III the social world

he was carrying when seized with an
epileptic fit in his barn on the Pleas

fore daybreak this morning, caused
severe burns to w. F. Halsey, who
was slightly stunned by his fall and

lantern which was shattered on the
floor. The exploding oil soon ignited
the hay and the flames were observed
by members of the Halsey family,
who ran to the barn.
The fire was easy TO extinguish as

DANGER Siqnal

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress 1t
than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often fol-
lows a bad cold or an attack of the
grip, Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An
drews, Ind. writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking up these attacks and you

In Case OF Ethel CIdggett vs.

Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

In the divorce case of Ethel Clag
gett VS.. Albert Claggett. the defend.
ant has come back in the Knox coun-
ty court of common pleas with a siz-
zling answer and cross petition. He
denies that he has been guilty of
cruelty and gross neglect and states
that he has always furnished the
plaintiff with comfortable home,
but that her conduct and infatuation
for Harry b. Worley, commonly
known as Bun" Worley. has caused
her to do improper things and to re-
main away from home several days at
a time. He alleges that the plaintiff
would lie in bed and refuse to cook
his meals, but that she would spend
most of her wakeful hours carousing
around with other men. He alleges
that she has so influenced Worley
that the latter has threatened to
drive this defendant out of town
The defendant further alleges that
the plaintiff has associated with 9th
er men, whose names are unknown to
him, in an improper manner. He
states that they are now living apart
and that the plaintiff is no fit person
to have control of the children, and
he therefore asks for absolute di-
vorce and the care and custody of the
minor children. Jay II. Clutter is the
attorney for the defendant.
