' "The name of the man you love?" the imperative voice insisted. The actress sighed. Her eyelids flickered; a little smile quivered on her Jips. "Robert darling!" she murmured. The specialist rose to his feet Noiselessly he opened the door and went down-stairs. Then he rang for the maid. She came at once. . 'Tour mistress will -sleep for an hour," he told her. As she helped him into his coat he added carelessly: "Miss Ford asked me to ring up a friend of hers. It is rather important, I believe. Quite stupidly I have forgotten the name. Do you know a Mr. Robert Robert " He stood a moment, a perplexed smile on his face. "Was it perhaps Captain Robert Fane, sir?" the maid respectfully suggested. "Ah, yes, that was it," Sir Maline answered. He drew out a little note-book and carefully inscribed the name. "Thanks," he said again as he got into the luxuriously appointed car which was waiting for him by the curb. CHAPTER II 'Twixt Love and Truth The house was crowded. Every seat was had been booked for weeks before the premiere. It was Rachel Ford's first appearance after her return from South Africa, and her adoring public signalized its faithfulness

by this unique attendance on the first night of her new play. Even royalty was present in the big flower-decorated box, which had been hastily improvised on receipt of the message announcing their advent. The play, a modern problem dissection, was a success. Carthew, the great critic, had. once 6aid of Rachel Ford that she could save or make any piay that had ever been written. She ad no need to strain after this effect in her now play. The role suited her

temperament and appearance and exemplified her dramatic powers. As the curtain fell at the end of the second act the crowd in the stalls prepared to meet their friends. The usual ."first-nighters" began to deliver end exchange their opinions. A little throng surged round Carthew as he strolled about, greeting first one friend and then another. "The verdict?" old Lady Torrens asked gaily. "There is only one possible verdict for Rachel Ford," he ' answered. "What a woman! What personality! What magnetism!" "For a newspaper person you express yourself feebly, my dear Carthew," Lady Torrens said, her eyes, sparkling. "You could have ended your sentence where you began it 'What a woman!' Those words contain ali your other descriptive efforts. Tell me." she went on quickly, "is it true that Rachel Ford is engaged?" "Crushed beneath your criticism, I shall not, as a newspaper person, attempt to express myself even feebly on the matter," he retorted.

"You have answered me," she said, f

"and I am adding that a newspaper- J man nearly always says either too j much or too little." j Her lorgnette poised, she scanned I the crowd. Her keen eyes raked the i house. i "For whom are you looking so diii- i

genty, dear lady?" Carthew asked curiously. :

"For the living answer , to your unspoken reply in other words, for the man to whom, rightly or wrongly, Rachel Ford is supposed to be -engaged." she said , vivaciously. "Le voila!" she added triumphantly. She touched Carthew on the arm. "Please bring Sir Maline Gorde to me here," she said. ; Carthew beckoned with his hand. A tall man waving a glove in answer, began to walk slowly down the long gangway.

He was good-looking in rather an amazing -way. He was very tall and slight, and walked in a curiously graceful fashion. His long, narrow feet, in their immaculate shoes, seemed to pad over the ground with a lithe, springing tread. His hair, which was very fair . and thick, was brushed etraight back, without any parting, from his face. To be continued

Uric Acid Poisoning! The most eminent physicians recognize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric acid poison is present in the joints, muscles, or nerves. By experimenting and analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called Anuric which drives out the uric acid from the eystem, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or . there, you can obtain Anuric at any drug store and get relief from the pain and ills brought about by uric acid; or send Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial pkg. Anuric which you will find many times more potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid almost as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you. ! Anuric is a regular insurance and lifesaver for all big meat eaters and those who deposit lime-salts in their joints. OLD-TIME REMEDY MAKES BLOOD PURE. Elkhart, Ind. "When I was a girl just

coming into womanhood I suffered greatly. I became weak and nervous, in fact, all run-down in health.

U In addition to this I "had a breaking-out all

over my body. At times it would act like eczema and then again it seemed that it was scrofula. I could not

get anything that did me any good until my mother began giving me Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and his Golden Medical Discovery. They proved to be just what I needed as I have never had any more womanly trouble, and they also cured me of the breaking-out on my body. I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Pierce's medicines since they did so much for me." Mas. Geo. Flennee, 403 E. Jackson St.

Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good conditian, be careful what you wash it ' itii. Most soaps nnd prepared shampoos contain too much alikali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cccoanut oil (which Is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simp!.- moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspooujluls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, di dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, a. 1 it leaves it fine nd silKy, bright, fluffy and easy to manatj. - You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to laet everyone in the family for months. Adv.
