 Mrs. Andrews had the teeth in her pocketbook along with Si3 iE bliis. As she was leaving the apartment the bell rang. Mrs. Andrews placed the pocketbook on a nearby couch as d maid opened the door and admitted stranger, who announced that he was there to repair an awning.

 Her first work for the Red Cross was with the bureau of personnel in Paris, where she labored nights, days and Sundays getting personnel off to the front. She left Paris January 1, 1919. to join the Balkan commission, and at length was permitted to take the courier position which she insisted on having.

 Life Far From Simple.
 
 The life of a Balkan courier is far from simple. Railroads have been de- stroyed everywhere. Bridges are lying in the beds of streams. Roads in many districts are morasses of mud Through the mountain districts roam bands of comitadii who prey upon lone travellers.

 The unexpected jewelry deepened the mystery.
 Oh, Where Are the Teeth?
 But where's the false teeth?" asked Detective Appel, who believes in fol- lowing every trail to the end.
 "Patience," replied Leonard. let the magistrate find that out.'
 So the awning man, who later said he was Charles Langfelder of 69 Wal ton street, Brooklyn, was haled before Magistrate McQuade in the wes; side court. where he denied all.
 Your Honor, we have a clue to the false teeth" said the detectives in chorus. Hold him for few minutes. and we'll recover them.'
 They hurried back to the apartment house, where they found the pocket book and the teeth in an ash barrel. Langfelder was then held in S1,50O | .N jury.
 The detectives are still trying to find the owner of the jewelry.

How to Keep Love-.


1t is one of the little ironies of life
that no matter how lukewarm our own
affection gets, We expect another's love
for us TO always keep at the boiling
point. Thus do we raise up our rivals,
and out of our own lapses create the
Frankensteins that slay our happiness.
What first induces a married man
to seek the society of another woman
than his wife? Is 1t not. as a general
thing. because his wife has lost inter-
est in him to a degree, and no longer
or pays him the compliments for
which he hungers? .,.-
While a man is all-in-a to his wife,
while he is sure of finding her an in
exhaustible fountain of adulation.
while she hangs upon his word, and
thrills under his caresses. he seldom
wanders from his own fireSide. t-t
Certainly the thing that invariably
starts a woman on a still hunt for an
affinity Is the fact that her husband
has begun to neglect her, and no
longer pays her the little attentions
that are the breath OF life to the fem
mime sex. You never hear of a wife
who has a devoted. affectionate and
admirfng husband. who lands in the
divorce court. 1t Is only when the
the wife substitutes the unwholesome
and indigestible imported brand Of the
article.
OF course when we speak of rivals
and divided affection, we have in mind
the dark man or the blonde lady of the
fortune teller, who is to come in our
lives and make trouble for US. In
reality, the true correspondent who is
Responsible for the alienation of ef-
fection oftener than any individual.
male or femals. is business or society.
The man gives the first place in his
heart to his business. His wife comes
afterward., No woman expects her
husband to be as interested in her as
he is In his occupation. or flatters
herself that she can inspire as. genuine
thrill in his breast as a five point
rise in stocks would. Yet the man
who commits this crime against love
wonders that love plays him false. If
they do business. fewer women would
parade the streets In velvet gowns. but
there would also be fewer aching
hearts hidden under expensive finery.
Women likewise set up false gods.
Sometimes a woman is dazzled by So
ciety, or bitten by the career craze.
and whenever she does. love Furnishes
her by turning his back upon her.
Cupid will not play second fiddle to a
Paris gown, or bridge whist. or a
newspaper notice. 1t Is observable
that the husbands Of such women bear
their separation from their wives with
noble resignation.
Thou shalt have no other love but
me-" That is the great law of love.
and the men and women who break 1t
do SO at their peril.
