Good Gracious, Annabelle"

Good Gracious, AnnabelleP
Here is the story of Good Ora
cious, Annabelle!" which will be
shown at the Alcazar Thursday:
When she was sixteen years old
and living with her father in a. min
ing town, Annabelle Leigh was kid
mapped by John Rawson, hermit
miner, during a battle over mining
claim. Rawson, who lives in a cave,
takes her to his habitation for the
night and when she tells him that she
has been terrible compromised by his
course, he calls in a parson and mar
ries her. Rawson's motive in kid
mapping the girl was to protect her
from other miners, her father being
too i'll to care for her properly. He
fails to tell her this and when she be-
igns to weep, he thrusts her out of his
cave.
Annabelle takes up her residence
in nearby city and soon thereafter
her husband, whose name she does
not know, makes a fabulously rich
strike and sends his wife regular
remittances. This goes on for seven
years, and having spent her last al
lowance almost as soon as she re-
ceived it, she finds herself in fnan-
cial difficulties. The management
of the hotel where she lives refuses
to honor her check, but neverthe-
less, she invites party of friends
to enjoy with her an elaborate col
lation with costly floral decorations.
Meanwhile Rawson, who has an
immense income from his mines,
seeks two shares of stock which he
had given to Annabelle the day he
thrust her out of his cabin, the pos
session of which will give him con-
troll of his property. He goes to
New York and registers at the st.
Swinthin where his wife lives. Anna
belle is seated in the lobby, wonder

DETROIT WOMAN'S
LONG SEARCH HAS
BEEN AWARDED
In The Years She Suffered Nothing
Relieved Her Until She Took Tan
lac-Five in Family Praising It,

''When my wife showed a gain of
six pounds on her first bottle of Tan
lac, another member sof my family
started taking it and now there are
five Tanlac boosters at my house."
said Will Prentiss, who lives at 1876
Porter Place, Detroit, Mich.
For several years." he continued,
"my wife suffered terribly from stom-
ach trouble of the worst kind. She
had no appetite and what little she
forced herself to eat, formed gas and
kept her constantly belching up sour,
undigested bits of food and made her
miserable night and day. Her head
ached most of the time, she was too
nervous to sleep well at night and
felt tired and worn out in the morn
ing.
after trying many other prepa-
rations searching fo4 something to re-
ieve her, l finally got bottle of
Tanlac and she is like a different per-
son already. She is entirely relieved
of that gas trouble, her headaches
and nervousness are gone and she
sleeps like baby all night. She says
she feels better than she has in q
long time, and she sure looks it."

Rawson is recognized by a detec-
tive and Wimbledon suspects him of
the theft of his stock. To shield
Annabelle, Rawson frankly admits the
theft, but adds that he is willing to
make Wimbledon his partner and that
litigation, doubtless, would prove end
less. Wimbledon agrees. Annabelle
is saddened at Rawson's course and
shows the stock to Wimbledon, who
refuses to accept it, saying it belongs
to the hermit. She announces her in
tention to go West and seek her hus-
band. RawsOn appears and reveals
himself. Annabelle falls into his
arms with joy, for she realizes that
she loves him and that her difficulties
are over forever.
