Miurs, and she labored hard 10 an the
contract.
A q concession to her husbands emo
lions and to public opinion Madame Miura
had booked an expensive suite which Ito
Suye shared. The suite was on the middle
deck. It was one Of the choicest suites on
board. Signor Franchatti was content
with a small, inside room on the top deck.
When dinner time came Ito accom-
panied the wee prima donna to the cap
tsin's table, and after the meal the two
women in their kimonos toddled along the
middle deck by starlight. Franchatti was
as the hiding moon, invisible. It was q
lonely walk. Madame Miura, who does not
love solitude, sighed.
The next morning Madame Miura tod
died silently along the passsgeways down
the wide staircase, beside the chaperone,
to the dining saloon. At last, down
the staircase came Signor Franchatti
Miss Suye bowed frigidly to him.
Madame Miura lifted plaintive eyes and
dropped them again to her napkin on her
lap. The Italian musicians low, foreign

ahead-seventeen days to Honolulu, then

But as some wise old meteorological
philosopher once remarked, ut Is always

in the little prima donna's case. The un-

The second morning out the two women

An American standing close by saw her
peril and quickly seizing her in his arms,
saved her from injury. Right then and
there that young chap Cupid began to get
in his work.
An American girl would have sprung
from the Americans strong arms, laughed,
thanked him In few words, and con-
tinued her walk. But the women Of the
East are not so abrupt. Ito Suye fingered
in the shelter of his clasp, smiled up into
his eyes, thinking how pretty they were,
how strong his arms were and how Arm
his shoulder was. Cupid was working

were taking a good look at each other.
They didn't know that the singer was on
the boat. The little madame gave the
shackles final kick and fed to piano to
ease of some of her exuberance.
"And after that we did not see the
chaperon," Madame Miura relates, "save
occasionally at meals. She shared my suite,
of course, but she was much occupied
with the American, very much, indeed"
In fact, Cupid had done his work so
efficiently that by the time the boat
reached Honolulu, where the singer had
engagements, the chaperone, she who had
been trusted to watch the singer so care
fully, asked please to be excused from
further responsibility, as she wanted to
hurry right on to San Francisco.
"Why, what is the matter?" asked the
singer. Don't you like my company"
"oh, yes,,"' quickly answered the ex-
business in America. He has to push on at
once to San Francisco and desire, above
all, to push on to San Francisco, too"
The gentle little Madame Butterfly
showed surprise and concern.
"You were engaged to chaperon me.
You shall chaperone me to the end of my
tour. Must l remind you that | have paid
for your passage? You were hired by DR..
Miura, but you were paid by me $4,000.
You must stay with me in Honolulu"
The singer was getting her revenge.
While the handsome American sailed on
to distant America the chaperon had to
stay behind as watchdog. But as a chap
eron she wasn't worth a cent. She
couldn't see a thing but the boat taking
away her sweetheart, and she spent most
Of her waking hours looking out over the
water toward sunny California, and send
ing letter after letter in that direction.
: Finally the singers engagement in
Honolulu ended and they sailed for San
Francisco. Miss Suye was so happy that
she smiled sweetly to Signor Franchatti,
who returned the'smile with pleasure. He
had no feeling Of animosity toward her.
He had no reason to have. He hadn't
seen her for a month.
When the party reached San Francisco
Miss Suye quit enthusiastically refused
TO act as chaperon or even make bluff
at 1t. The singer had to come on to New
York, but the chaperon refused to leave

giving her impression of America, which
she likes, because it is easier to get di-

to get out an injunction or something or
other to prevent his wilful wife from leav-
ing. The judge wished to hear her story.
He did. And he made a good audience,
and was captivated, as are all her
audiences.
Honorable Judge said he couldn't find
anything in the majestic statutes to pre-
vent her from going. The physician then
lost his patience, and forgot his patients,
and called in the whole Miura family for

The doctor was on the dock, surrounded
by the twenty-five or thirty relatives who
had previously been called into consulta-
ton. There he stood, as the ship drew
out, with a look of mixed chagrin and
anger, knowing that he had after all, lost

his wife and Franchatti, with, of course,
Ito Suye standing between them.

Thus in five short min

tor that he hadn't accom-
plished much after all.
He began to have some
doubts about this chap

sure the chaperon was to
occupy the singers room
and sleep with her every
night, but the ehaperon
could not do twenty-four

1t would take q flock Of

As q last resort, he sent

could contemplate with profit to them

it contains such elements of romance,
humor and adventure as could make
mighty good comic opera or movie

Opera lovers in this country have often
been charmed by the exquisite perform
ance of Madame Miura, especially in her
portrayal of poor little Butterfly. Her
acting in this role was so sincere, alluring
and convincing-in fact, she was little
Butterfly herself-that she Immediately
endeared herself to discriminating opera
goers.
Well, little Miura, having had success
full, happy and profitable tour through
Cairo, Paris, South America and the
United States, announced to her husband
on her return to Toxic, that she was going
to make another one.

The little lady raised her eyes in sur

"And why not?"
"You are growing to forget yo land

prima donna, stamping her foot after the
manner Of prima donnas, "why he is my
conductor, my accompanist, my manager.
He is writing a great opera in which
am to star. | must have him with me-"
All of which had no effect upon the
determination of her husband. He is a
physician of much prominence in Toxic,
and as such, he sets considerable store on
dignity and the social conventions, and he
didn't want the breath of scandal invad-
ing his home and social circle.
He realized however, that she was bent
on making the trip. In fact, she told him
so, and she didn't "say it with music"
either. So honorable Dr. Miura knew he'd
have to use stern measures to keep his
Jotos flower within his range of vision.

"You won't" 81 will so," "Well We'll

had become lost in the shuttle. He went

and disobedient wife be refused the
privilege of leaving.
"What are your reasons for wishing
this?" asked the head of the passport de-

AUTO AS GOOD
AS ITS WHEELS
Few Realize Necessity of Rim
Adjustments.

Automobiles win run without tires II
the necessity for such proceeding arises;
they will run without hoods, without
bodies, tenders, seats, and many other
supposedly vital parts, but one thing
they will not do, and that is run with
out wheels. And these wheels cause IN
limited trouble, that is wheels and rims
when they are so minded. They get
out of line and wear out tires, they
get smashed, they squeak and creak and
drive the owner of even the highest grade
cars half crazy, and it is to remedy
these wheel and rim trouble that the
Indiana Wheel and Rim Company, 40
West North street, devotes the greater
part Of its attention.
I'VE take that nerve racking squeak
out Of automobile wheels" the manager
Of the company said, land we avoid tnN
cutting of valve stems in tubes by put
ting proper fitting wedges on the rims.
We repair and replace all broken and
damaged parts. Our service IS so ex-
tensive that we carry In stock practically
every known make Of wheel, whether it
be wood, wire or disc, and If we are
given three days notice we can paint
wood wheels any color ordered by the
customer. We also carry a stock Of
rims for every make of car and truck
from 1912 on down to l922, ana all we
have TO know to send our customer away
thoroughly satisfied is the make, model
and year Of the automobile and the
make and size of the rim.
Few persons realize the importance
Of the proper care OF wheels and rims.
The average motorist is In q fine posi-
ton to take care Of ordinary mechanical
troubles, and it is surprising how expert
many Of them become In matters Of this
kind. But practically none know any
thing about wheels and rims, which
should be given as much care as the
motor and which should always be kept
properly lined up and adjusted. Many
a motorist complains Of the poor mile
age he IS getting out Of tires ana tries
first one make and then another in a
vain attempt to get satisfactory results.
When he fails to get satisfactory re-
suits he blames the tires for some
thing which is no fault Of their, but
belong on faulty rim or Improperly
aligned wheels. AS motorists come to
realize this they pay more attention to
these vital needs and when they do they
find themselves more than repaid for
their trouble"

when I opened this store" Mr..
Brooks said, Il had IN mind the neces-
sity Of giving far more than the ordi-
nary conventional drug store in the line
Of service, and results have convinced
me that I was thoroughly justified in
my judgment.
THE first thing we did was to see
that the store was properly stocked,
and in a modern, to date, downtown
| drug store this is a real task, for a
modern drug store must carry a wide
variety Of goods, ranging from drugs
to soda water, and from toilet supplies
to cigars and cameras.
"Of course, our main speciality always
has been the prescription business, where
We have adhered without variation to
the absolute rule of no substitution in
the prescription department. This has
resulted In our prescription department
being generally recognized as one Of the
very finest in the State.
Realizing the necessity Of meeting a
downtown demand we began to serve

cut price basis for we knew, just as
everyone knew, that this is the proper
way to conduct drug business, under
existing conditions, and at the same time
save money for the buying public. OF
course, we have gained hundreds Of Gus
toners by this policy.
For the accommodation Of the public
we have always made it a rule TO wrap
packages free for Parcel post shipment
The fact that the posto1ice is across
the street from orr store brings a multi
tude Of persons into our place OF bust
ness who have parcels to prepare for
shipment, and few persons either have
the proper equipment or knack Of wrap
ping a package properly for shipment
In line with this we gladly check
baggage or baskets free at any time
and many are the friends Of the store
whose friendship dates back TO some
occasion when they took advantage OF
this service for which we make no
charge"
