Very Effective Method
for Banishinq Hairs
Modes of Today

At very little cost any woman can
rid her face of hairy growths if she
will use the delatone treatment. This
is made by mixing some water with
little powdered delatone. This paste
is spread upon the hairy surface for ,
or minutes, then rubbed off and the
skin washed, when every trace of hair
will have vanished. No harm results
from this treatment. but care should
be used to buy real delatone-Adv.

Harry Somerdyke was later than he
had meant to be when he met Ben
Hadley on the Coney Island boat. In
deed he had promised to be at One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth street at
least fifteen minutes ahead of time so
that he and Ben might secure good
seats But, as has been seen, he ar
rived just in time to get on board be-
fore the boat left the pier. And kel-
ley Delaine was another person who
had made him late.
The author, after parting from Julia
Marvin, started for his apartments,
his thoughts full of the girl and what
she had told him. He knew now that
he loved her, and to him love meant
service What could he do to make
her life bright even if he could not win
her affection? There was no doubt
in his mind as to what was the trouble,
the distress of Julia's life. 1t was
her uncertainty, her anxiety about
Caryl Since Caryl was in his employ,
and since 1t was his friend who had
taken her out to luncheon and on an
automobile ride without her sisters
knowledge, surely it was his-Ke,ley
Delaine's-duty to try to keep any
harm from coming to the girl.
1t was we'll enough for him to tell
Julia that he would try to guard her
sister and to influence her to be
discreet and circumspect but 1t was
quite another thing for him to win
Caryls confidence and to persuade
her that he had only her good at heart
She was vain little creature, so avid
of admiration. so headstrong. that he
felt baffled when he tried to imagine
himself arguing with her. Still he had
given his word and meant to do his
best. But surely it would be wise for
him to remove temptation from her
path If possible. On in this case
temptation meant Harry Somerdyke.
Harry Somerdyke, as the only son
of rich man, now dead, had done
pretty much as he pleased since child
hood Delaine had known him init
mately when the two were young lads
together, but for the past five years
Harry had been out of the United
States-spending much of his time
playing at engineering in Venezuela
and the friends had seen little of each
other. In their few conversations

here but me to wish I might lose
what | have IN hand If anyone knew
what | was about"
Now Claus had heard every word
and seen everything that went on,
though he pretended to be asleep
Suddenly It dawned upon him that he
could take part in this as well as
the Wingle-that any wish he made
would be carried out as soon as hers.
II wish ! had the bag of diamonds
| that is in the bottom of the Black
Pool right here on my back" shouted
Claus, jumping to his feet so quickly
that the Wingle almost fell out of her
chair And ! wish | might find N.Y.
self back home with my mother be-
| fore this hour ends
In a second the bag of diamonds
was hanging on Claus back.
You little wretch" screamed the
Wingle, springing to her feet wildly
in terrible anger and trying to hit
| Claus with her chair. You little
| imp-I will teach you a lesson You
| have used up two of my wishes
Goodness, if | catch you I will beat
you to bts-I wish ! were a thousand
| miles away from you"
The Wingle had forgotten when she
said the last thing that it was wish
| and would come true In another
| moment she was flying out Of the
door to the seashore, then flapping
across the waters till she at last was
| thrown breathless on a tiny bit of
land in the very center of the Atlantic
| ocean And there she dwells today,
| living on lonely rock, eating raw
| fish and bread fruit, thousand miles
from her old home.
But happy Claus did not wait long
| for his second wish to come true. In
about half an hour he felt himself
taken up gently and borne on a cloud
above the trees, over rivers and lakes,
across the mountains, then softly
! dropped in a garden by the side of a
mountain path. There in the door
| before him was woman whom he
| knew to be his long-lost mother.
You may be sure that was happy
meeting, and when the mother saw
the bag of diamonds there was re-
newed rejoicing at the homecoming
of Claus, who had long been believed

And Mrs. Chanler had to dress by

him, and, going to the telephone, call

II was late in the evening and Claus

lay down on the straw pallet but he
was too much interested in what the
Wingle was doing to sleep. SO he re-

From a pine knot came smoky
