DESERT ISLE IN BIG CITY
Woman Writer Satisfied With Her Res
idence in "HeIPs Half Acre"
in Philadelphia.

Katharine Haviland Taylor, the nov
elist, says she's found a desert island
and peace right in the middle of Phila-
delphia. 1t happened quite accident
ally. Recently she went apartment
hunting with very little knowledge of
the residential districts of Philadel-
phia She found an apartment and
rented it because there were two limOu-
Sines out in front, and so she judged
that the street was all right. One of
those limousines belongs to a broker
of rags and paper, she learned later,
and the other to an Italian peanut
vender She had moved into the his
tOric district called "Hell's Half Acre.
But Tn glad l was misled," says Miss
Taylor. Il am not bothered by social
obligations and l have lots of time for
work. We're never bored. Shooting
privileges go with every lease, and my
vocabulary is enlarging all the time"
Miss Taylor cannot be persuaded to
move, for she is convinced that in this
retreat she will be able to do more
and better work than if she were liv-
ing In a neighborhood socially cor

then send your ma to get money of

you terrible girl" screamed Katherine
no longer able to restrain herself.
Tonnibel thought quickly. Cousin
Paul PendIehaven lived in the house
with an enemy who had tried to take
his life. This same enemy had tried
to destroy her, too.
''You said he was going away?" she
questioned Mrs. Curtis presently.

Completely overlooking Katherine
Tony ran out of the room. The next
day she didn't look up when she
heard Doctor John tell Doctor Paul
that Reginald had left Ithaca. When
she peeped at Doctor Paul, he smiled
at her.

she knew which room Mrs Curtis oc-
cupied and sought the other wing OF
the house. When she knocked at the
door, a womans voice called a low:
"Come in"
Tony stepped inside and, turning,
shut the door before she took sur
yey of the room. When she did, she
almost tainted. Reggie Brown, the
awful man she had known in the
canalboat days, the man who had
dropped the poison into Paul Pendle-
haven's medicine, was seated very
near Mrs Curtis, and Katherine was
by the window, wearing a very bored
expression.
An exclamation came from each
one of the three as the girl faced
them, looking as if she were ready TO
collapse.
"You didn't get the money then.
GIRL" demanded Mrs. Curtis, sharply.
"Reggie dear, didn't tell you last
night, but your Cousin John refused
me when / asked him for help, ana 1
had to reach Paul through"
Tony's eyes were on Reginald, who
was crouching lower in his chair. Her
forward, staggering step broke off the
speakers explanation.
"You want the money for himf she
cried, pointing finger toward the
cringing boy.
Mrs Curtis nodded.
"Yes, he's my son." she answered.
Tony drew long breath, letting 1t
hiss out through her teeth.
IF he's your son, ma'am," she said
falteringly, "then you got a murderer
for a son. He tried-he tried to
poison Doctor Paul"
Mrs. Curtis got up slowly, a cold
rage rising in her pale eyes. Kath-
crime came forward to her mothers
side, but Reginald remained silent.
"You lie," snarled Mrs. Curtis.

When he got upstairs, he looked at
himself In the glass. How white and
thin he had grown! He looked as If
he had died and was trying to come
to life again. He was frightened al
most out of his wits too. Then Ton
nibel Devon really was In the house. 1t
hadn't been her ghost that had thrown
him bodily from the window sill after
all. Uriah, knowing that, had come
and made q demand for his daughter
and had been arrested Perhaps he
would be arrested also, and for
crime worse than stealing. Had the
girl mentioned the fact of his trying
to poison Paul Pendlehaven? If she
hadn't, would she? When Mrs. Cur

crumpled in a big chair, shaking as
If he had been attacked with ague.

The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just little over
six years ago. It's success was imme-
diate and people everywhere were
quick to recognize it as a medicine of
extraordinary merit. Since that time
there have been sold throughout this
country and Canada something over
Twenty Million (2O,OOO,OO0) bottles, es-
tablishing a record which has probably
never been equalled in the history Of
the drug trade in America.
Fame Is international.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won when it was first
introduced has been extended to prac-
tically every large city, small town,
village and hamlet in North America.
Its fame has become international in
its scope and England, Japan, Mexico,
Cuba, Hawaii, Alaska, Porto Rico and
many European countries are clamOr-
ing for it.
From coast to coast and from Great

and honored. Millions have taken it
