Love Affairs of a Lonely Woman
By MARY HALF

1 personification of bewilderment, waiting
 for her strange companion to speak. Al last the woman in black had regained
 self control and addressed her.
 My dear young lady" she began in her low, well-modulated tones," l suf- fered a great shock today. Will you
 be so kind as to tell me what you saw
 and what you did? I don't quite remem-
 Der everything, and for my own sake
 and sfor that of others near and dear to me I must remember"
 | Jane hesitated and then timidiy re- | counted the strange events which had oc- cured with such amazing results in the curously brief time since she had walked
 into Trinity church yard.
 l As she described the quiet little we'd ding, the sight of which had so strange l ly affected her companion, the woman | lips quivered and the tears welled 10
 the gray eyes; yet, now she had mas | tered the emotion which had overcome
 her during the actual happenings. l When Jane had finished the3other laid | a gentle, tremulous hand upon that of
 the girl.
 You have done great service to me. 1 I was maddened and hardly knew what
 did. But I can-and must-show my ap-
 preciation of what you did by such 1 confidence as one woman can make to
 another only in a time of tragedy" | She stopped, sighed and looked deeply
 into the dark eyes of the girl l My child (and I can call you that for
 surely you are 10 years younger than D, have you ever loved-and lost?" she asked finally, with great effort. 1 Jane felt that there was some strange purpose in the question, and she could 1 not resent it's startling intimacy. 1 No" she said, honestly. dropping her
 own glance and blushing, without know | ing the reason. "I have never loved, but | I have lost; because, we'll, because 1 feel that it is a lonely, horrid world with
 out love, and l have been lonely, very 1 lonely"
 i The fingers of the older woman tight
 ened about her hand, as the soft voice 1 continued, earnestly:
 Then never love, but if you do, save
 yourself from the suffering which has
 been mine for the last 10 years loved | and lost, although until too late l did
 not realize that I had lost, or how much ! I had lost. For it was I who was selfish, and how I have suffered!
 1 The tears stole down her wan face, as she continued: 'If you ever do love, remember this scene today Marry the | man, not money. I had my chance for heaven or earth, and yielded to the per suasion of one whom I believed could make paradise for me with his millions | And, as you saw today it was not the heart of the poor man which broke! He 1 is happy now and l am wreck. l am a widow, my only child died a month
 after my husband, and I have nothing row. Nothing but wealth, and what soul poverty that is!'
 l She covered her face with her hands now, and great sobs shook her lanes generous heart asked to comfort her, but she knew not what to say. It was a situation which frightened and hewtl- dered her, as the taxicab sped uptown, further and further away from the of- flee. The broken weeping of the other woman became maddening.

NO. 50.
 As the taxieab rolled away from the policeman and the ambulance surgeon the two men exchanged glances of curious understanding. The bluecoat was the first to break the silence.
 Well, what dye know about that?" Blocker, and one of the richest women in New York. I wonder what she was doing way down here at Battery park alone-and I wonder who that girl was It had me so badly fussed that I forget to get the girls name for my report"
 You'd have been worse fused if you .. had arrested Mrs. Van Blocker, with all the influence of her family. Say. it was lucky that young woman spoiled the act, wasn't it?'' answered the young sur geon.
 1. Well, it was attempted suicide all right, and she stopped just in time. I'll nave to phone this to the captain on the quiet, for the newspap pers would eat this alive if they get hold of it, and that would mean trouble for you and me both from the family"
 The policeman jotted down some notes h a memorandum book which he took from inside his cap. the traditional hand bag of the patrolman, and the surgeon la conically ciamhered on the back seat g of the ambulance.
 To Turn on the juice, Jerry" he sang out to his chauffeur. 'We don't get a passenger this time, but it was good days work at that!'
 -7 The ambulance turned up the street and disappeared, while the policeman 2 gave himself few minutes of meditation on the pecularities of some very rich women of whom he had heard and had met.
 Sure. they puzzle feller,' he said, as nhe started on his beat once more. Far . be it from Jimmie Grogan to get gray hairs a-worrying about them. And he walked on his way, swinging his club

|BLACKBERRIES USED
 TO CAMOUFLAGE FIVE GALLONS OF WHISKY
Officers Accost Negro Women and Find Whisky Hidden in Bucket
 of Blackberries

The spirit of John Barleycorn came un der the observation of Deputies Cunning ham and Cole in the form of blackberries last night, but the spirit carried with it that 'cawn'" odor. and as the result Car rie Roden and Alice Smith. negro women, are in the county jail on a charge of vio- lating the prohibition laws
 The officers according to their state ments, passed Alice and Carrie, each seated in buggy drawn by mile, on the state highway Deputy Cunningham asked Alice who was in front, what she had in the buggy. Jus a few blackber- ries. boss, I done picked out on the noun tain."
 There were berries, in a pail, but they went only skin deep, and buried not far beneath was a jug containing five gallons of whisky. By this time Carries 'limou- sine" had arrived. and she was forced to undergo the same ordeal. The only diff ference between the two finds was that Carries carried with her only two gal Ions, and the coat of blackberries on it was little thicker than in the pail in Alice's buggy.

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
 FOR NASTY CAL0MEL
Starts your liver without mak- ing you sick and cannot
 salivate

Every druggist in town-your drug gist and everybody's druggist has mo- ticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same season. Dodson's Liver Tone Is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results" said a prominent local druggist. Dod- sons Liver Tone is personally guaran- teed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs but few cents, and If it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipa- ton. you have only to ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm less to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine: no hiliousness. sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak. sick and nauseated Don't lose days worki Take Dod- sons Liver Tone instead and feel fine. 9uu Of visor aud ambition

Cayon Denies Plot
To Invade Mexico

Roberto Gayon, former secretary to
the late General Aurelio Blanquet
who is being held for removal tc
Laredo, Tex, where an Indictment was
returned charging him with conspir-
ing to organize a military expedition
against Mexico, was given hearing
yesterday before United States Com
missioner Hitchcock.
Former Congressman William Ben
net, attorney for Gayon, entered an
emphatic denial of all charges. Gayon,
in his own behalf, explained that the
indictment had been found on the
mistranslation of letters he had given
to Foster Averitt, reputed agent of the
Banquet movement in April Of 1918.
These letters, he asserted, were in
Spanish and directed to a Mexican edi-
tor in San Antonio and to General
Banquet, who was in Mexico

letters. When these have been trans
lated and compared with the documents
on which the Indictment was found
Cayon will be cross examined by AS
sistant United States Attorney Robert

DR.. Copeland Urges State
Aid to Narcotic Board,
Saying 100, 900 Cases Can
Be Cured in Few Months
City Lacks Needed Laws
Changes in Sanitary Code
Suggested if Cooperation
Is Refused by Herrick

prehensive recommendations
which, if adopted and enforced, he
believes would exterminate the drug
evil in New York City within six
months, have been sent to Walter R
Herrick, Commissioner of Drug Con-
troll, by DR.. Royel S. Copeland, City
Commissioner of Public Health.
In making public his recommends
tions DR.. Copeland pointed out the
fact that his power over the drug
situation in the city is so curtailed
by the narcotic drug act that his in
fuence can be exerted only in the
form of recommendations. Mr.. Her.
rick's narcotic drug commission has
the power to adopt regulations with
the force of statutes, according to DR..
Copeland.
Would List All Addicts
Dr.. Copeland's recommendations
would define a drug addict as one
who, with certain provisos, requires the
daily administration of a narcotic for
longer period than three weeks; that
drug addicts must need carry a photo
graphic Identification card; third, that
no drug addict shall be given a pre-
scription who has not proper creden-
tials from the Board of Health; that
every prescription shall be made in
triplicate and filed with the State Mar
cotic Commission, and that means be
provided to deter physicians from ad-
ministering drugs in a manner likely
to perpetuate the drug habit.
Dr. Copeland considers the drug sit
uation in the city so serious, both from
the number of addicts and the lack of
organized effort to relieve it, that if
the Commission Of Drug Control does
not adopt some thorough going plan to
meet this situation, he will attempt to
have the Sanitary Code Of the city
amended so that the Health Depart
ment may act.
Would Change City Code
With this purpose in view, the Health
Department. has prepared an amend
ment to the Sanitary Code, which will
incorporate into the present law addi-
tional regulations which DR.. Copeland
thinks will cover the needs of the
Health Department. This amendment
will be submitted to the Corporation
Council for an opinion.
1t the amendment is considered legal,
1T will be enacted at once by the Board
Of Health.
DR.. Copeland expressed the fear yes
terday that if the amendment is held
Illegal and the State Narcotic Commits
sion does not take comprehensive action
soon, the city drug clinic now in oper-
alton may have TO be closed
1T would not be right for the city
to continue administering to some 5000
addicts any longer" he said, mot know
ing whether they were obtaining addi-
tional drugs elsewhere.
IL honestly believe Commissioner
Herrick's commission could clean up
100000 cases of drug addicts in this
went at the job systematically"
In giving out an outline of his rec
concentrations, 'Dr. Copeland expressed
himself against the use of fingerprints
in registering drug addicts, owing to
the usual association of tingerprinting
with criminality. He favors the iden-
tification process followed in obtaining
passports, requiring a description. of
the registrant, his photograph and his
signature be filed.
