At a first nigkt performance in Arete York, a beautiful young scontan attracts attention by rising hut leisurely savveying the audi ence through her glasses. Claver lug, a newspaper columnist, and his cousin, Dinwiddie, are particu larly interested, Dinwiddie declar ing that she is the image of Mary Ogden, a belle of thirty years ago, who had married a Count Zattiany and lived abroad. He is convinced that this is Mary's daughter. At Claveriny’s suggestion Mrs. Ogle thorpe, a friend of Mary. Ogden's in her youth, is asked to solve the mystery. She calls on the young woman, but learns nothing beyond the fact that she is not Mary Og den's daughter. Clavering finally manages Io meet her and she tells him she is the Countess Josef Zattiany, it cousin of Mary Ogden's; thut she hud married a. relative of Mary’s husband; that Mary is ill in a sanitarium in Vienna. Claveriuy departs, skeptical, but content in the knowledge that he Will see her again. She has invit ed higi and Dinwiddie for dinner the nixt night. Meantime, he re ports to Dinwiddie, who is equally incredulous. VIII (Continued) “I sometimes used to think that If It hadn’t been for her breeding and the ? standards that involves, and hfr Wealth and position, she’d have made a first class adven turess.” "Was she a good liar?" "She was insolently truthful, but I’m certain she wouldn’t have lies itated at a whopping lie if it would have served her purpose. She was certainly rftsee." "Well, the dinner should be high ly interesting with all these under currents. I’ll call for you at a quarter past eight. 1 must run now to do my column.” Clavering, often* satirical and ironic, was positively brutal that afternoon. The latest play, booh, moving picture, the inefficiency of the New York police, his affilqtijig correspondents, were hacked to the bone. When he had finished, his jangling nerves were unac countably soothed. Other nerves would shriek next morning. Let ’em. He’d been honest enough, unit if he chose to use a battle-axe instead of Toledo steel that was his privilege. , Ha called down for a messenger boy and strolled to the window to soothe his nerves : still further, bush had fallen. Every window of .the high stope buildings sur rounding Madison Square was an A t kISpSroI JI 1*18"" ■■ Swi 1 . r** I / / 1 ; it H ||lH '5u ii ' ,> 4*\ “The rocr of the great city came up to him like a flood.” oblpng of light. It was s symphony of gray and gold, of which he nev er tired. It invested business with rotnanee and beauty. The men be hind those radiant panels, think ing of nothing less, made their brief contribution to the beauty of the world, transported the rapt spectator to a realm of pure loveli ness. A light fall of snow lay on the grafts and benches, the statues and trees of the Square. Motors were flashing and honking below and over on Fifth Avenue. The roar of the great city came up to him like a flood over a broken dam. Black masses were pouring toward the subways. Life! New York was the epitome of life. He enjoyed forcing bls way through those moving masses, but it interested him eveu more to feel above, aloof, as he did this evening. Those tides swept on as uncon scious tfl the watchers so high above them as of the soaring beau ty of the .Metropolitan Tower. Ground hogs, most of them, but part of the ever changing, ever fascinating, metropolitan pageant. The arcade of Madison Square Harden was already packed with, men and he knew that a triple line igacbed down Twenty sixth Street to Fourth AVguue. There was to be a prixe fight tonight and the man bad stood there since noon, buying apples and peanuts from peddlers. This was Tuesday and there was no half-holiday. These men appeared to -have unbounded ltdiore while the rest of the city l?>ly{i or demanded wurt Bui ♦hey were always warmly dressed and indubitably well-fed. They be longed to what is vaguely known as the sporting fraternity,, and were invariably in funds, al though they must have existed with the minimum of work. Th( army of anemployed was hardlj larger and certainly no bread lint was ever half as long. Mounted police rode up and down to aver! any anticipation of the night’s bat tle. A loud harking murmur rose and mingled with the roar of the avenues. The great clock of the Metropol itan Tower began to play those sad and sweetly ominous notes prelim inary to booming out the hour. They always reminded him of tbo warning bell op a wild and rocky coast, with something of the Lore lei in its cadences: like a heartless woman’s subtle allure, poignantly difficult to resist. There was a knock on the door. Clavering gave his daily stint to the messenger boy. He was hunt ing for change, when he recap tured his column, sat down at his desk, and, running it over hastily, inserted the word “authentic.” New York must have its. Word, even as its topic. "Authentic,” loosed upon the world by Arnold Bennett, was the rage at present. The little writers hardly dared use it. It was, as it were, the trade mark of the Sophisticates The boy, superior, indifferent; and chewing gum, accepted his tip and departed,® Clavering returned to the window. Gone was the sym phony of gold aud gray. The build ings surrounding the Square were a dark aud formless mass in the heavy dusk. Only the street lights below shone like globular phos phorescence on a dark and turbu lent sea. Two hours later he left his hotel and walked up Madison Avenue. Twenty-sixth Street was deserted and as littered with papers, peanut shells, and various other debris as a picnic train. The mounted po lice had disappeared. Krom the great building came the first boar of the thousands assembled, wheth er in approval or the reverse it would be difficult to determine. They roared upon the slightest pretext and they would roar stead ily until half-past ten or eleven, when they would burst out of every exit., rending the night with their yells, while a congested mass ol motors and taxi-cabs shrieked and honked and squealed and coughed: and then abruptly the si lence of death would fall upon what is now a business” quarter where onlv an occasional hotel or little old®brownstor.a h-mse —sole reminder of a vanished part when Madison Square was the center of fashion-—lingered between the tow ering. masses of concrete and steel. When Clavering and Dinwiddie arrived at the Ogden house Judge Trent was already there and mix ing cocktails in the library.* He was a large man who must have bad a =uperb figure before it grew heavy* He wore the moustache of his generation and in common with what was left of his hair it glis tened like crystal. His black eyes were still very bright and his full loose mouth wore the slight smirk peculiar to old men whose sex van ity perishes only in the grave. Be side him stood a man some ten years younger who was in the graying period, which gave him a somewhat dried and dusty look: but whose figure was still slender and whose hard outlines of fact were as yet unblurred by fle-»h. They were, of course, faultlessly groomed, but if met in the wilds of Africa, clad in rags and bearded like the jungle, to the initiate they still would have been New York ers. “Come in! Come in!" cried the Judge heartily. "Madame Zattiany will be down in a minute—she pre fers to be called Madame Zattiany, by the way. Thinks titles in Amer ica are absur.t unless wearers were horn 'o them —more particu larly since continental titles today are worth about as much as rubles and marks. . . Mr. Clavering, you know Mr. Osborne? Madame Zattiany kindly permitted me to bring him as she was having a lit tle party. Fantiiieg old friends.” Clavering placed two fingers in the limp hand extended and met the cold appraising eye calmly. The New York assumption that all other Americans are rank out siders, that, in short, not to have been born in New York is a social ar l irremediable crime, had often annoyed him, but never caused him to feel the slightest sense of Inferiority. He had his own an cestors, as important in their day as any bewigged old Dutchmen— nil of whom, he reminded himself, had been but honest burghers in Holland. But he admired their consistency. The rest of the coun try had been commenting bitterly on the New York attitude since the eighteenth century. And when you got . under their protective armor they were an honorable and a loyal lot. Meanwhile it paid to be as rude as themselves. . .Cfe Be Cwrtiatpd) <.g|] •mm PROBLEMS CONFRONT LEGION IT FIFTH MEETING Bonus, Disarmament and Care of Orphans Loom As Vets Gather at ’Frisco 150,000 ARE Al l ENDING Elaborate Program of Business and Entertainment Faced By Legion Convention SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17. San Francisco has surrendered. The Golden Gate metropolis capitulates in the face of an invading horde- of 150,000 American Legionnaires and turns over the keys of the city to veterans of the World War, who will constitute an army of occuppa tion during the legion’s fifth an nual convention here, Oct. 15 to 19. The covention will be a combina tion of work and play. There will be division reunions, parades, dances—even fleet maneuvers—to regale the ex-service v men. And there will be serious business, i Problems expected to -be in the lore front of debate when the legion as sembles include: Measures urging more stringent immigration laws. A program lor solving the prob lems of disabled War veterans. Provision for orphans of World War veterans. A more strenuous Americaniza tion program. An international aid disarma ment conference. And, last but not least, the old question of adjusted compensation. Bonus Up Again. The problem of adjusted compen sation, or a national bonus, may furnish most of the smoke at the legton’s sessions. It is not unlikely that the election of a national com mander will hinge around the bo nus battle. The question, it is believed, will come up in the form of a resolu tion advocating that Congress pass a compensation measure. That) Con gress will d<> so at its next session is conceded by some of the bonus’ foremost opponents, including Con gressman Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland. But, according to fore cast, the bonus question will be come involved with amendments, modifications and provisions to such an extent that the measure will occupy much of the conven tion’s time. Legion leaders, it is predicted, all will be drawn into this debate, and thus it may become he real battleground for the commander ship candidates. Immigration Laws. More stringent immigration laws will be urged as part of the legion’s Hght against radicalism. Advocates argue tbit the manpower already in the country is ample for the v.oil; hen, ’and that luxer immigra tion laws will create an Unwelcome and unemployed surplus. The sup ply of un-Americanized foreigners, -hey contend, more than taxes the machinery for Americanizing them, and they wile- propose suspending all immigration for five years. 1 rovisjon lor orphans of World War veterans will he advocated in two measures, one arguing for a national home and the other pro posing their care be a matter to be handled through state divisions.’ Questions concerning the still un solved problems of disabled veter ans also will be taken up, as well as proposals to indorse a national Lazy, Tired and Weak or Full of Malaria The Body Depends Entirely on the Blood for Strength.

COLON POISONING BRINGS OLD AGE Destroys Health and Causes Pre mature Degeneration of al Vital Organs You are a wise man or woman if you understand vour colon and keep it in perfect working order. Health, happiness, vigor and long life are the gifts which an active colon gives you—and a lazy colon' tokes away. Your colon is the fast five feet of your digestive-canal. It is your sew erage system | your garbage can; so to speak. Keep it clean and you are well and happy; let it stagnate and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation (gas) and putoefact-■ tion into vour blood, poisoning\v6ur brain and nerves so that you are restless, irritable and blue; poison ing your heart so that you are weak, listless and lazy; poisoning your lungs so that your breath is heavy or foul; poisoning your stom ach and digestive organs so that you are bloated, belching and un- [ comfortable with gas pains; poison-; ing your blood so that your skin looks yellow, sallow and unhealthy; poisoning every part and organ of your body, through your blood, making you look and feel old and I ugly long before your time; making your joints and your back stiff and rheumatic; your eyes dull and your brain sluggish. By the perfect law of Nature, your colon should empty itself three times a day—within an hour after eating. Does your colon work that well? If not, it has lost its tone. What do we mean by tone? Your coJon is ?l hollow muscle. Its walls are made up of long muscle fibres or muscle cells which, by their con- ” WEDNESDAY. OCTOBERW < 1 92 ? tractions, empty the colon juM as you would squeeze a rubber hose pipe. These muscle Jibree should contract three times a day—within an hour after each meal. If they do not contract, they have lost their tone —their power to contract. But, there is a practically perfect remedy for lazy, flabby colons. This remedy quickly restores the tone, is abosuletly harmless and decidedly pleasant to take. Clip this article and take it to your druggist. Tell him to give you a bottle of Colotone —the colon tonic. It will cost you ,ne dollar if you are pleased with it, nothing if you are not pleased 1 with it, for every druggist has been ■instructed to refund the price and ask no questions if his customer is I not thoroughly satisfied. But you will be delighted with Colotone for it will make you feet like a different person. Your eyes will sparkle with vitality and alert ness, your brain will be clear and active; your complexion will be fresh and transparent, reflecting the purity of your blood; your digestion will be thorough and your appetite keen, for your food will taste de lightful and will agree yith you; your system will be full of vim and vigor; yot< will feel younger,strong er, vigorous—you will enjoy the pleasure of living. Get started on Colotone today. Nearly every person over twenty five or thirty years of age, and many younger, need Colotone more or less. You will be simply delight ed with it. Colotone cannot possibly do you any harm—-it can only do you good. Try it on our guarantee. It will help you live long, well and happily.— (adv.)
