INDIANAPOLIS IN DESCRIBES WRECK ON TRACTION LINE \ Attributes Escape to Fact He Sat in Back Seat v of Car, Charles W. Baker, 2843 Boulevard PI., is one of two Indianapolis men who are congratulating themselves on a narrow escape from ,the traction wreck at Roanoke Monday evening. Baker and Dr. John Swanson, who is here attending a meeting of the Indiana Electric Medical Association, received minor injuries, but were able to come on to Indianapolis after receiving medical attention. Baker said he was riding in the second seat from the rear when the crash came. “No one had any warning of any kind. Suddenly there was a crash and the empty car telescoped the passenger car about as far as the partition of the smoking apartment. Men riding there were jammed down under the seats and had very little chance to escape. “The cars didn't turn over. Those who were able made their way to the rear of the passenger car and got out. I learned my lesson April 20 last year when a wreck occurred at Edinburg. I was riding in the smoker then, but fortunately escaped. Since that time I have always sat in the rear of the car, and Sunday evening I congratulated myself on following that rule.” Dr. Swanson was thrown forward on the seat in front of him and received injuries to his face, his nose being bruised severely.

I didn’t realize that increasing blood-cells had the effect of completely knocking out rheumatic impurities from the system. That is why I began using S. S. S.!

By building blood-cells it builds nerve strength for young folks who ought to have more, and for older people who have little. It stops pimples, boils, blackheads, eczema, chases away blood impurities. You can always rely on it. Start S. S. S. today for that rheumatism. You’ll feel the difference shortly. S. S.

BEGIN HERE TOKAY The marriage of Dolly and Nigel Bretherton proves unhappy. When *!■ is declared. Nigel is glad to enlist. He leaves Dolly under the care of Mary Furnival. Nigel is killed and Dolly marries an old sweetheart and sails with him for America. When Nigel s brother, David calls to see Nigel's widow, Mary’ is ashamed to tell him of Dolly's marriage. David mistakes Mary for Nigel s wife and takes her to live with his aunt at Bed Grange. Mary is happy in her new home until Monty Fisher expost* her to David. Mary disappears. Monty’s sister. Dora, is jealous of Jiavid’s attentions to Mary. Dora meets Mary by accident and asks her where she is living. Mary refuses to tell. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ITT'OU are very kind.” Mary I Y I was conscious of a feeling of 1.—.. strong antagonism towards this beautiful woman; she would have much preferred her enmity to this sudden pretended friendship—for that it was pretended she was sure. For the second time she made a little movement to go, but Dora again stopped her. “You will at least tell me where you live? You will let me be your friend?” For a moment the eyes of the two women met, then Mary drew back, her face flushing. “You don’t really wish to be my friend—you don’t really like me. Please let me f^>.” The other laughed mockingly. “You are very candid, and not very charitable, are you? Some day you will be sorry.” Mary made no answer; she turned and walked away. Dora stood looking after her with a chagrined face; the idea came to her to follow and see where this girl lived, but she shrugged her shoulders and dismissed it. After all, what did it matter to her? She cared nothing so long as she could keep David from discovering where Mary was. • * * At dinner time that evening she told David and Monty that she had something very interesting to tell them; she looked at David archly as she spoke. “I met someone when I was out this afternoon, someone you are very interested in.” There was a

distinct challenge in her voice. “Guess who it was,” “Mary,” said David. The name came so naturally to his lips—just as if she were always in his thoughts. Dora Laughed to hide her chagrin. “Yes, it was.” Her eyes rested on his hand; she saw how suddenly it had clenched. She went on, with deliberate cruelty. HE STARED WHEN HE SAW THE TWO AT THE WINDOW. “She looked very well and happy, I thought. She stopped and spoke to me; she asked after you, David.” His lips moved, but ho did not speak. “Was she alone?” Fisher asked. “Well, that’s rather telling, isn’t it? But—well, no, she was not! David, I’m afraid you've been horribly taken in by her. It is a shame!” > “I don’t understantTyou.” Bretherton’s voice was cold. “If you really saw Miss Furnival, perhaps you can give me her address?” “I am sorry—l am afraid I can’t. I asked her for it, but she refused; she doesn’t want to hav© anything more with any of us. It’s perfectly obvious! I really think it will

be kinder to leave her to herself.” David looked at Fisher. The latter spoke rather impatiently: “Whom was she with. You say she was not alone?” “My dear Monty, I really don’t know.’’ Her beautiful eyes met his without" flinching. "She did not iniroduoe him to me. but I understood from what she said—and what she left unsaid —that she was going to bo married to him.” There was a little silence: David laughed suddenly, lifting his wineglass. “Well, here’s good luck. to them both,” he said in a queer'voice. Ho deliberately changed the conversation. It was he who diet the entertaining throughout the ' remainder of the meal. Monty had pever seen him so talkative; he looked at him anxiously from time to time. Afterwards, when he caught Dora alone for a moment in the hall, he held her hand fast when she would have pulled away from him. “Is that the truth—about Mary Furnival—or did you make it" all up?” There was something stern in his voice. Dora wriggled free. “Perfectly true that I met her, perfectly true that I asked for her address and sho refused to give it to me.” “And the rest—about the man?” She. laughed provokingly. “Have you ever heard the saying that all is fair in love and war?” she asked. “My dear Monty, mjnd your own business—that’s my advice to you.’’ She went on into the drawingroom. David was there standing by the window, at which the blind had not yet been drawn. There was a pale moon riding aloft in the dark sky. It shed a faint light on to the Fishers’ small garden; it made David think Os the Red Grange and that last drive he had with Mary. He cursed himself now for not having told her then that he knew all about the pitiful little secret she was guarding so jealously. After all, what had it been beyond the yielding to a sudden sentimental Impulse? He seemed to understand her so well, and to sympathize with her loneliness, and realize the sudden gap his brother’s death had left in her life. Apparently Nigel had been her only friend. Imagination had pierced the story for him; it was only that he could not find a place in its complete whole for Nigel’s wife. Where was she? What has become of her? Had that cable which

Monty had received really been from her? and if so, how had she got to the Argentine, and why? He was trying to puzzle it all out in his tired mind when Dora came into the room and stood beside him. The faint light from the moon fell on her beautiful face and graceful figure. She looked like a dream princess, he thought, with reluctant admiration, as he turned to speak to ner. She smiled up into his eyes and something in the sweep of her long lashes made him think of Mary with a sickening heart-throb. * Was this story true about her coming marriage? Had she indeed only played her own game with them all- along—been only a common adventureress, as Fisher had hinted from the first? lie could not believe it. In all his life no woman had ever caused him a single pang until now. He hated it because now he could not sleep or rest for thinking of her —for wondering where she was and what she was doing. CHAPTER LIII Saved From an Impulse The woman at his side spoke In her soft voice. ‘What a lovely night, David! It makes one feel quite sentimental, doesnt it?” Her soft skirts brushed his feet—the scent of her hair seemed to fill his senses. For a moment he looked away and tried to believe that it was Mary standing beside him: that he had only to put out his hand to take hers—only to turn ih shead and meet the shy sweetness of her eyes. When a man is in love and unhapppy even the sympathy of a woman for whom he cares nothing is sweet. David might have said or done anything during the next few minutes had not Fisher saved the situation by walking into the room and switching 0” the electric light. Ho started when he sajv the two at the window. “Sorry. I thought the room was empty.” He caught the scowl on his sister’s face., and wondered if he had interrupted anything of much moment. He came forward awkwardly, and made some platLudnous remark about the weather. He would have gone away again, only he knew that it would look too pointed. He flashed a whimsically smiling apology at Dora. Afterwards she raved at him. ‘‘He would have asked me to marry him if you hadn’t come blundering in! You really are a perfect idiot.kwitchin,* on the light in that manm I believe you are deliber-

ately trying to spoil by chances.” She broke into the usual storm of tears. “Just when everything was going so well. I believed in his heart that he really does care for me.” Fisher listened unmoved. “If he does, he can find a time and place to tell you so, without any assistance from me,” he said dryly. She stamped her foot. “I think I am beginning to hate you!” she stormed. Fisher walked out of the room. His sympathies were all with David. Perhaps he realized at last something of Dora's shallowness and utter selfishness. He passed a restless night, wondering how he could help him; he did not for a moment believe Dora's story of having seen Mary with a man. He would have liked to tell David that he did not believe it. only it seemed so impossible to give his own sister away. That promised letter from the Argentine seemed to be their only hope of ever solving the whole mystery; but it was cold comfort to look forward to another month of waiting before the mail could possibly arrive. David went down to the Red Grange for the week-end. It was so ! lonely, Miss Varney complained to him in one of the many letters she wrote. "Nobody knows how I miss that poor child. David, why can’t you find her? Is London so very easy to hide in?”

Apparently it was, David thought wretchedly, as he went off home to try and cheer her up; in his heart he was beginning to think that Dora had been right, and that Mary did not mean or Wish to come back to them any more. “I have done my best,,” he told Miss Varney, as she rushed to the door to meet him and ply him with questions. “The only thing is to believe that she does not wish to see any of us again, dear, I am afraid.” "I don’t believe it,” said the old lady. ‘‘She loved being here. She loved us all.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) Probe Farmer’s Death , By United Press CONNERSVILLE, lad.. May 21. Theory that John F.
