Already she was on the stage begin
ming her great final scene.
When. at last. she pressed the
poison ring to her lips and sank
slowly to the floor q wave OF un-
checked emotion swept the audience.
Down came the curtain. Before II
could rise again to the thunder OF
applause. Bruce Kingston had dash
ed OUT on the stage and was kneel-
ing at Evelyn's side. Something In
her attitude had filed him with a
sudden hideous suspicion.
Frantically he bent above her. cali
ing her name. Then his eyes rested
uron the poison ring on the white
little hand that rested too close To
her lifeless face The stone was
swinging back on its hinge. The
poison hollow was empty.

Eunice in panic looked about for a

GIRLS! HAVE BEAUTIFUL, LUSTROUS FLUFFY HAIR-25- CENT DANDERINE

of failing hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes-but- really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower; destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten cloth with a little danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments-s delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this.

 So we went out, and when we got ready we come back, proving the fal- lacy of the old adage that Chicago policeman is perfect. When we got back, somebody had left the door open and a crowd of Shermanites had came in out of the rain. Many of them was from the Hamilton club and as l had been invited to lunch there once, made no protest.

 The next speaker was MT. Lodge of Massachusetts, and he was nominating Weeks, but he did not talk for Weeks like the rest of them, but only few minutes. The feature of the subse- quent demonstration was it's brevity.
 The next guy was a MT Miller from Delaware and he nominated MT. Dupont of the powder mill and the subsequent demonstration, led by w. J. Bryan, was as long drawn out and as noisy as an explosion of punk with Maxim silencer attached
 MT. Miller named many of Mir Du- pont's qualifications, but he forgot to mention that he wears two-bit collars and eats with fork and is good to his folks and the hired girl.

 ~ TO R|NC W. LARDNER

Meaning that my stuff didn't make no difference when it was written be- cause I don't know nothing and let the reporters that do know something stay there and get the news, but I got to leave the Coliseum just when the most interesting thing of the day is being pulled off, to-wit, the demonstra1 ! tion for a guy named Roosevelt that nobody wants for president except the people. The reason tnfs was the most interesting thing of the day was be- cause it was what they call spontane- ous and not no bought and paid for demonstration like they give for the rest of the candidates that nobody ever heard of and probably won't never hear about them again.

No More Dandruff or Falling Hair A Real Surprise Awaits
 You

To be possessed of a head of heavy beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is merely a matter of using a little Danderine.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get d 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine now-all drug stores rec bmmend it-apply little as directed and within ten minutes there will be an appearance of abundance; fresh ness, fluffiness and an incompatible gloss and lustre and try as you will you cannot find trace of dandruf;
