ONE CENT--THE DAY BOOK .-ONE CENT
"oUEER," SAID MORALS JUDGE
OF GRAND BLVD. CASE

-
Names of the two men arrested
with Doris Lewis, Estella FRESHMAN !
later charged with running a dis
orderly fat-and others in fiat at |
1916 Grand blvd. may yet be found |
out.
The men gave the desk sergeant
names which they at once said were
fictitious because, it was said, they
were members of the South Shore
country club and publicity of their
real identity would never do, say the
police.
When the case came up in morals
court today Police Capt. Healy asked
for a continuance until Sept. IA, say
ing he believed he could find out who |
the men were if given time.
Julian Ryer, attorney for the men
who have failed to appear since
their arrest in the fiat - protested
against granting a continuance and
asked Judge Robinson if he be-
lieved Capt. Healy's story that there
was something queer" about the
case.
81 think there is something de-
cidedly queer about it," said Judge
Robinson. THE papers in the case
queerly disappeared and the men ar
rested have queerly dropped out of
existence, it seems"
Judg Robinson continued the case.
Rob't Gastineau, the patrOlman
who made the arrest, has been pro-
NOTED to the motorcycle squad by
order of Chief Healey.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. IN
an interview of the subject, made the as.
tonlsh!ng statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is co com.
mon 10 the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applics-
tons are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that .
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
q blessing to thousands.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing in
tuence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. II will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get bottle so as to Hart
treatment today. You will soon see .
marked improvement.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

CHAPTER XVIII


Huee.
When Rosalie lie Grange named the
Hotel Deidrich to the taxicab chauf.
feur. her object-she followed here but
an old instinct-was to cover her
tracks in case of many contingencies.
She dismissed the cab. however. at the
north door OF the Deidrich. walked
through the lobby TO the west en-
tTsacG. naked Cut on Rroadwav.
walked a block south. There. spying
another taXicab whose meter displayed
the red sign vacant" she comman-
deered II, and announced her real OBJ
tective.
"Casino-Central park-go FAST"
she said During the drive she stared
straight ahead and talked in low un-
dertones to herself
This was an old habit, born OF her
half-believed, half-assumed medium
ship" In her days of active practice.
In these later days she was still won't
to argue out in soft phrases OF her
lips the problems OF her soul One
who had overheard these scattered
phrases now would have known that
she was still fighting for a decision.
Well. amt the world been good 10
me lately?" she was saying as they
swept into the Park entrance. Cant
afford to take a chance with myself
an happiness And then. "Oh.
how will Martin look at it-Martin!"
A little later. as the taxicab took
the rolling drive beside a park lake,
she was saying:
81 couldn't bear it IL he was sent to
the chair-I could never live through
it'd die, too." 1t seemed that upon
this statement she made her decision,
for she talked to herself no more un.
til the taxicab rolled up before the
Casino and stopped. And as she rose
her smile broke out for the first time
in that passage. But 1t was a grave
smile. whose softness did not reach
to her eyes-as though one smiled
with the humor OF God at the tragic
comedy in this world.
An she called me a traitor-an
she'll always believe it, what's more
she said.
The piazza OF the Casino, SO gay ant
colorful in summer, lay bleak and bare
now under the cold November wint
and fading afternoon Light, so that Ro
sale, sensitive to physical impressions
what with the tensity OF her soul
shuddered as she passed from the
steps to the door. Within, only few
lights were on: the restaurant. plain
ly. was letting business fade away to
ward its winter quiescence. Near the
door sat couple: then two men; ant
there. in the remote corner. was q CLINT

his hands were playing In swift, ex

Grange waved aside the head waiter
and took her interminable journey
across the room, it occurred to hei
that however she finished and tiet
this complex web of hers, these might
be the last smiles on his lips for many
a weary day.
