1t seems that she hadn't heard that song since
she used to sing it, herself, to her little girl.
Peqqy went white as a sheet and got all
choked up. She asked Mrs. Cobb if her little
girl had had black kitten with white ears.
And Mrs. Cobb said yes, she had. And, by
George, it turned out that Mrs. COBB was Peg
gy's mother. What do you know about that?
It's a small world, isn't it.
ACT H.-Loir Of the Blacknaoilcrs-Cobb

Tom. Peggy's Escape.
When the curtain went up again Henry
Disbrow Of the Underworld and his wife,
Emma Disbrou, an Adventures were plan
ming to work the badger game on Cobb. who
had been trying to frt with Emma Disbrou.
Sure enough. in came Cobb, and they badgerel
him. That put him in their coils.
Then Cobb and the Disbrows Matched the
meanest plot you ever heard Of. First, they
were going to have Mrs. Cobb sent to Wards
Island as a lunatic Mrs. Disbrow happened
to have certificate of lunacy handy, signed
by two reputable physicians) Next little
Mabel was to be put in the orphan asylum on
Randall's Island. Then Mrs. Disbrow marked
a five dollar bill and put it on the table, so
that Peggy could see 1t and take it when she
came in; theft they would have her sent up
for theft That would get the whole Cobb
family out of the way, and COBB would get the
money and share it with the Disbrows. See?
Cobb and the Disbrows left, to get Mabel,
and Peggy came in. First thing she saw, CT
course was that five dollar bill; and she took
it and put it in her dress. Well, what's so bal
about that? Suppose you came into the house
and saw five dollar bill lying right SMACK
on the paror table. Wouldn't you take it-es-
pecially if you didn't know it marked?
Where were we?-Oh, yes. There was a
yodel outside, and in came Tom. He had come
to see Peggy, in order to rehearse their vau'
deville act. Peggy's part was to play the piano,
so she began, and she certainly was rotten.
Well sir, the minute Tom got out Peggy
began to play; and would you believe it, that
girl had been fooing all the time. Why, she
played as well as a professional, almost-runs,
and octaves and things, with the orchestra
coming in at the end. Talented little thing.
And then Tom came back, and-we, honestly,
that boy ought to be on the stage. First, he did
an Italian SIG, dressed up in brown velvet

little girl sole heiress. Cobb was now the little
girls guardian, and the way he treated her
certainly looked suspicious Why, do you know
about a wear before his automobile had acct
dentally run over her and crippled her for
life: if she had been killed, and it was mercy
she wasn't. he would have come into all that
money Old G,1mshow got pretty sarcastic
about that accident" You could tell what
he thought, all right.
BY the way as G,imsh1W pointed out, l.
Cobb's brothers first wife were still living she
would be the one to inherit all the money But
everybody thought she was dead.
GriDsbow finally left, and then Fanny came
in TO say that Mabel, Cobb's ward, had wan
dered off to watch circus parade, and poor
girl had found her and brought her back, and
they were both outside. And then IN came
Mabel Cobb, the Cripple Child, and Peggy. a

her spirits, either. That girl certainly was

the circus and had nearly been stepped on by
an elephant You could see that Cobb wished
she had BEEN but he swallowed his disappoint-
ment and engaged Peggy as maid in place
of Fanny, who was leaving.
Well they all went out and left Coco alone;
and then he went over and unlocked that door,
and called, and out came his brothers wife,
Mrs Cobb the Blind Mother. Yes, SIR, there
she had been locked up, for goodness knows
how long. and everybody thinking she was
dead. She was blind, poor thing, and COBB
had made her think that they were dreadfully
poor, and that he was an umbrella niender.
She almost found him out once. though; for he
turned his back for minute, and she wan
dered right to where the piano was stand
ing, and accidentally struck one of the keys.
She was surprised, but he told her it was 4
musical umbrella rack and that satisfied her.
Just then Cobb heard noise outside, AMI he
had barely time to get Mrs. Cobb back benin
the door when Peggy came in. He was In such
"a hurry 10 get away, in fact, that he forgo.

right in the lock.

BE CAREFUL IN USING
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR

Most soaps and prepared sham
poose contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just
plain mulisfied cocoanut oil, for
1t is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats the
most expensive soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required.
1t makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides
1t loosens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dam
druff.
