PARIS BONE PICKER
 MAKES DISCOVERY
Frenchman Believes He Is a Descendant of Napoleon

Paris, Jan. 21-One of the rag and bone pickers of Paris has just made known his belief that he may be a descendant of the great Emperor Ma poleon I. His name Is Louis Napol- con Eugene Maximilen Laurent Mas son. He is called Napoleon" and gives as the reason for his use of that name the following explanations:
 My father was shoe cobbler and secondhand dealer who used to res cue dogs and cats bodies from the Seine to sell for making grease. My mother was a travelling mender of pots and pans
 My mothers. mother was Rosalie de Mandel, of Spanish origin and noble. Her husband, my grandfather, named Firmin, was from Ireland. They kept an inn at Clethy, in the department of Pas de Calais, where coaches changed horses.
 "One evening the Emperor arrived at Clethy and my grandmother warn- ed him to go no further as there were English soldiers about. My grand father fled and hid in ravine. My grandmother hid Napoleon in the low CT part of our two storied cellar until he could leave in safety. When my mother was born; my grandfather all ways refused to recognize her as his child. declaring that Napoleon was her father.
 You will Ind reference to Ma poleon's stay in Clethy in Marshal Bertrand's Memoirs with something about the child that resulted from it..
 That's why I am better known as Napoleon, and with reason"

What 1 want to know Is this;l why is he living hidden away In q cheap makeshift studio building like this, a man with all his money? Why was she, brilliant artistic success. cons tent even for day in such surround ings after the luxury which had al- ways been hers? Why did he reputedly confirmed woman hater- call upon her. and why did she even permit or tolerate his acquaintance, she who was accustomed abroad to the society of notable men?'
 Why did you not ask herr"
 "I did, but she always put me off; told me he was an American type that she had almost forgotten and that he amused her A week ago couldn't stand 1t any longer: l pro- posed to her for the last time, and when she laughed at me as usual must have lost my head and gone a bit too far, for she told me seriously at last that she would never be my wife"
 Gordon Ladd paused, his clenched hands tightening until the knuckles showed white.
 ''I kept away from her after that until tonight. when came In as told you and saw her bidding him good night on the landing above. There's no love lost between them, l could swear to that! She was jeering at him, and if ever hatred looked out of mans eyes, 1t looked out of his, and yet somehow the sight drove me wild! (Continued In Our Next lssue). (Copyright, 1922, NEA SerVice).

a resentfu fashion. The moment he had disappeared up the stairs and before Mrs Vane had had an oppor- tunity to turn and re-enter her own apartment l called to her, and-went up to her" His tone had been more and more uncertain and now he hur- ried on: q begged for five minutes of her time. but she snubbed me laughingly and I returned here"
 There was silence for a moment, while Sergeant Craig made no effort to enter the examination, and Barry eyed the young man before them very gravey. At length the more experi- enced official spoke:
 "Mr. Ladd, you have not told us all the truth! What happened between you rush up to Mrs. Vanc only to be repused. Were you repulsed? Were you not with her, in her studio, when the deadly shot was fired?"
 At the unexpected accusation the young man shrank back, then sprang from his chair.
 This is what you in your police slang called a 'frame-up,' isn't 1t? You've got to hang the-the murder on someone, suppose and so am to be the goat?"
 By no means" Barry also had risen. You must realize the strong circumstantial case against you. but do not think you are guilty"
 Barry continued quietly;
 DO you know why? Because ever since this interrogation was started, in spite of the damaging admissions you made against yourself. you have deliberately equivocated and evaded, and I think I know the reason" Barry's tone softened and deepened. T believe you did care for Mrs. Nane, honorably and sincerely, and it is for that very fact that I ask you to tell us the truth now"
 For an instant the young man hesitated and then sinking once more into his chair he buried his face in his hands.
 At last Gordon Ladd raised his head, and upon his white, set face there was written implacable resolve.
 You win, Sergeant Barry! l would die myself before 1 would willingly rake up anything against the memory of the woman I loved, even though she had played mercilessly with me, only to turn me down irrevocably in the end, but there's some mystery about this whole thing that I don't understand, and it may in way have

some bearing upon the manner of her death. No breath of scandal has ever touched her. Nevertheless. she must have had some source of income, for her studio was luxurious-almost palatial compared to this-and her war work and fits of idleness which she indulged in later were alike un- remunerative"
 Why did Mrs. Vane return to Am erica last autumn" Gordon Ladd shrugged.
 "A whim of hers, we all thought: we would not have been surprised had she announced her departure for China. There was nothing-nothing definite between us two, you know. I was simply one of manyswho were permitted to adore her at a distance. The rest forgot, but I didn't; I fol- lowed her to New York, and when I found that success had crowned her bizarre talents and yet she was living in this-this hovel,s I was amazed beyond words! In the artistic colony in Paris false conventions are unknown, and when I discovered that this studio here was vacant I took it just so that l might be near her, even though she still laughed at my WOOL ing. Then-then l began to notice this man Griswold"
 His voice had hardened perceptibly on the last words and Barry re- marked:
 If the report we get on him tallies h oF J,; la is highly respectable member of so- ciety."
 "Oh. know all about him. All any body knows, I mean. I've looked him up" Ladd cried defiantly. /

HARSH CATHART|CS
 ARE HARMFUL
SECURE RELIEF PLEASANTLY

Constipation results from the in ability of the intestines to eliminate waste matter. Harsh cathartics and drugs of metallic origin force action; but they do not correct the cause of constipation.
 Early settlers treated constipation with natural laXatives An extract was made from herbs, roots, barks and leaves with laxative qualities. Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative, is compound of extracts from natural plants--a pure, mild, pleasant and effective ld-fashioned, home made laxative that for II years has been a favorite. It's regular use relieves constipation and fortifies the body against more serious illnesses. You are safe with Dr. True's Elixir. 40c-6Oc-S1.2 20.

The Big

AQVefClSefS NnOW National advertisers who every year spend millions of dollars in giving publicity to their goods know the value of circulation.
 They refuse to take the word of any publisher for the circulation of his newspaper. They insist on being shown.
 Business men will recognize the wisdom of the attitude of the national advertiser. They demand full meas ure for the advertising they pay for All business people refuse to take any less than full measure in the merchandise they buy Why should there be an exception to the rule in buying advertising space? Recognizing this fact The Herald, in common with the leading newspapers of the United States permit of regular audits of their records to prove their ccua tion statements On the reports of the inspectors of the Audit Bureau of Calculations national advertis- CTS select the medium they will use for their pub- lcity.
 The Herald carries nnetyfve per cent of the ad vertisen1ents of National advertisers who publi city in this territory. Why? Because The Herald is the only New Britain newspaper whose circulation is audited and because The Herald proves it has the largest and best circulation of any newspaper in this city,
 National advertisers don't guess They spend too much money on advertising every year to gamble. They insist on being shown by an audit. Then they know Mr. Merchant: The Herald has the largest circulation of any New Britain newspaper in the city and is the only New Britain newspaper with a circulation worthy of the name in the suburban territory which sends much trade here weekly The Herald stands ready to prove this statement It's circulation is audited It makes wild circulation claims and asks no one to gamble on the number of copies distributed daily. Its cards are on the table at all times.
 The Herald is New Britain's real advertising medium Advertisers local and national know it.
