Juncture. She would then claim to be
his true legitimate daughter and heir.
. There Is at every woman's heart a fun

establish their blnthrle-ht. to establish

"Ton boo." said he, "that her 'hus-

rlf he Is Innocent of
this murder, he has 'the misfortune to
be caught In a lesser crime."
Burnett sighed and looked at his
watch. It was then 10:42. There seemed
. to be no way to prevent the arrest.
"The curtain is just down for the last
.. ntr aete," he said. "The last act
will take about half an hour. Then she
will stand accused!"
He stood pondering a moment.

The Inspector smiled coolly. "We must
prevent that," he said. "And I look to
-. you to do It. However, great criminals
' are very rarely suicides."
Mkof cried Burnett, bitterly, walking
' to and fro In his agony of mind.
"Alas! she is too clever not to know
that her arrest will surely follow the

' fcuried his face In his hands.
V The Inspector touched his shoulder

You love this woman, that's plain. But
my best advice is, go home and go to
' bedtake an opiate. If you can't sleep.
Ton are a young man; you have a ca

"No, I believe ber guiltless. Some

"There, I thought we should get evi
dence sooner or later; that will fasten
the crime."
The Inspector fairly rubbed his hands
In n sort of vague professional delight.
"If you bi'llevei her Innocent, Air.
Burnett, will you suggest a theory?"
he said, pleasantly. "You ore proba
bly aware that Miss Armitage acted
two weeks In Philadelphia before com
ing here. It was while there she learned
of h.T father's coming and prepared
hfself aid biushi the chloroform."
Burnett hardly knew what to say.
Mr. Davids looked very sure of his
prey.
"Still, there Is no proof!" Insisted the
nowspaiior man.
"There will be a net nbout her In
tw.-nty.four hours which she can't es
c:ie from. I am afraid ?!u- will elude

Burnett gasped with horror.
"Dut to prevent any cu'.h contingency
I depend on you."
"Me?"
"Yes. iMy cab 13 ready. We will go
at once K ths theater. May I ask you
one question? Do you believe she cares
for you?"
"I believe she has led me to think
yes." "Very good. You will, perhaps, be
able to prevent her taking up arms
osiln ': her own life you, and you
alcne!"
THE LAST EXTR' ACTE.
The curtain had not yet risen for the
last act when they arrived at the the
ater. A number of well-dre?pd young men
were standing In the lobby as they en
tered. Burnett overheard one of the
young men say:
"I never saw her so intensely real as
to-night. By Jove, suppose in the next
act, she shouhl feel It so deeply shs
really should die! Would It not be excit
ing?" "Ya-as," said another dude, puffllng a
cigarette. "She's acting with more
power to-night than I ever saw her.
When Armand threw money at her,
each piece seemed to scorch and burn
her. I tell you, It was great! And her
beauty Is simply marvelous!"
"We will go behind the scenes and
see her and watch her," said the In
spector, quietly. "I will go, too, and re
main out of sight."
Burnett, who In spite of the inspec
tor's strong influence, believed In the
actress' innocence, went back of the
scenes and saw Miss Armitage standing
In her lond robe de nuit, waiting for the
curtain call, to ensconce herself In her
pretty white bed on the stage. She was
talking In low tones with her maid,
Sarah, a quiet looking Englishwoman.
How Inexpressibly lovely she looked!
Her dark hair hung in riotous disorder
down her back. Her face, made pale
and wan for the famous death scene,
seemed full of wondrous spiritual holi
ness and beauty. Shakespeare's words
spran-r Into his mind as he gazed at her:
"A!ack, that Heaven should practice
rtrategems
Upon so soft a subject as thyself!"
Yet in the calm beauty of her starry
eyes there was, he felt, a stern will, as
Arm as Juliet's.
"If all else fall, myself have power
to die!"
He stood for a moment watching her.
She did not see him. She seemed to be
Tilled with more than usual tragic sor
row of her part of Marguerite. The
world was dead to her. Her heart was
broken. Her love waa g.nc She had
sacrificed herself and made expiation.
She waited for the end. There was
so much ethereal tenderness and love In
her face; her white embroidered robe
betrayed so much of the gentle char
acter of her love, and the wealth of
happiness she might bestuw on one be
loved. Could such an exalted spirit

DISCOVERY.
The Invention of Dr. R. V. Tierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Ilitflnlo, N. Y.,
has, during the past thirty yearn, made a
record in the cure of bronchial, throat and
Inng distunes that fairly entitles it to out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affection. Especially lias it manifested its
potency in curing consumption of the lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Fully 98 Per. Cent,
of all case of consumption, in all its earlier
stages, are cured by Dr. fierce 's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
hns progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt tliut hundred-) of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
inntance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing llicitl, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
s trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, lit curative power over this
fatal mnlady, all' other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and itu filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases ana had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
short time. Rxtract of malt, whiskey,
and vsrloui preparations of the liypoplioe
phitcs had also been faith fully tried In vain.
The photographs of a largo number of
those cured-or consuuiplUin, bronchitis,
llrtgerlnt coughs, .asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book -of 160
pages which will be malted to yon, on re
ceipt of Address and six cents in stamps.
Yon can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

(To be Continued.)
THE ODORIFEROUS ONION.
Yon May Not Like It, but Yon Must Po It
the Simple Justice to Admit Its Versatil
ity as a Modleino.
One of the healthiest vegetables. If
not the healthiest grown. Is the onion;
yet, strange to say, very few people
use It as liberally as they should. Boiled
onions used frequently In a family of
children will ward off many of the dis
eases to which the little ones are sub
ject. The principal objection to the
promiscuous use of this vegetable is
that the ordor exhaled after eating Is
so offensive. A pup of strong coffee,
taken Immediately after eating. Is
claimed to be excellent In counteracting
this effect. Although for a day or so
after eating onions the breath may
have a disagreeable odor, yet after this
time it will be much sweeter than be
fore. For croup onions poultices are used
with success, providing the child Is
kept out of draughts and a sudden
chill avoided. The poultices are made
by warming the onions In goose oil
until soft, then putting them on the
child's feet and chest as hot as they
can be borne. Except In very obstinate
cases, when taken in time, the croup
readily yields to Onions. This, al
though an old-fashioned remedy, is a
good one, , as any mother who has
brought up a family of children can at
test. ,
Onions are excellent blood purifiers,
and for eradicating bolls or any of tho
blood humors are very efficacious. They
are good for the complexion, and a
friend who has a wonderfully, fine com
plexion, attributes' It to the liberal use
of onions as food.
People suffering from nervous trou
bles are much 'benefited by using these
vegetables frequently, either cooked or
raw. When ..troubled wHh a hard
cough, If a raw onion Is eaten the
phlegm will loosen almost Immediately
and can be removed with very little ef
fort.' Those troubled with wakefulness
may insure a good night's rest often If,
Just before retiring, they eat a raw
onion.
There are few aches to which chil
dren are subject as hard to bear and
as painful a earache. One of tho bent
remedies we know of Is to take out the
heart of. an onion (a red onion Is the
best if It can be had, although, lacking
this kind, any other can be used) and
roast It. When soft put It .Into the af
fected ear as hot as It can be borne.
Utiles the cause l deeper than ordin
arily the pain will cease in a very short
time and will not return.
A cough syrup In which onions form
an Important part Is made by taking
one cup of vinegar, one cup of treacle
and one-half cup of cut up onions. Put
on the stove and simmer about half an
hour, or until the onions are soft. Then
remove and strain. Take a teafpoonful
or this frequently when troubled with
cough, uind "Unless very deep-seated the
cough will tvot last long.

TO our patrons:
Washbttrn-Crosby Co. wIhIi to assure their many put
ronn that they -will this year hold to their usual custom
ot milllUR STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheut is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it it already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. - Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling ha
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far .above other
brands.
