SYNOPSIS.
r ’
ztf a first night performance in
.\*w god-, a beautiful young
,toman attracts attention by rising
i«it leisurely surveying the audi
r*ce through her glasses. Clavcr-
Vnff, n newspaper columnist, and
hie cousin, Dinwiddle, are parties
Itrly interest'd Dinwiddle d lar
i -.y 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
idlat this is Mary’s daughter, but
•U efforts to establish her identity
prove futile.
Clavering, determined to find out
who she is, follows her home from
the theatre one night. Luck is
with him, for she has forgotten her
keys and he helps her get into the
house. She asks him in and finally
tells him she is the Countess Josef
Zattiany, a cousin of Mary Og
den's; that she had married a rela
tive of Mary’s husband; that Mary
is ill in a sanitarium in Vienna.
Clavering is skeptical.
Though maintaining a strict
aloofness from society, Madame
lattiany continues to attend all
the first-nights. Clavering meets
ncr there one night and she in
vites him back to her house after
the theatre. He tells her frankly
that he does not believe her story.

Then she demanded: "And do
you think. 1 am an actress—-v.ho
rot an education somehow?’'
“I think you are an actress, but
not that sort Your imaginative
Hight leaves me cold."
“Perhaps you think 1 had Mary's
personality transferred and that
ft exists side by side with my own
bars in this accidental shell. There
are great scientists in Vienna.”
"Ah!" Un looked at tier sharp
ly. “Button, button—l feel a sen
action of warmth somewhere."
due flushed again, but her eyes
contracted a.’U almogt closed. "I
t4dr you are a very romantic young
u:an us well as a very curious
cue."
“I deserved that. Weil, I am cu
rious. hht not so curious as —in-
terested.”
"I hope you are not falling in
love wli;: I:,-:.” Her deep voice
nad risen to a higher register and
’••as light ...rd gay.
"I atn h.d’ in love witlj you. I
don't know, what is going to bap

"And y.i'i want to protect your
self by disenchantment?"
‘Th; ’.taps."
“And you think It is my
'i'.ty . . .’’

you Huyway, but I'd like to know

“She rose swiftly and came close
to him.”
"M?; Dinwiddie, no doubt, is mak
ini investigations. If he verified
story, would you still disba
liew«?”
"I should know there was some
thing back o£ it all."
“Yon must have been a good re
portar.”
"One of the best.”
"I suppose it is that."
] "Partly. I don't think that if
you were not just what you are I'd
care a hang. Other people’s as
fairs don't excite me. I’ve out
grown mere inquisitiveness.”
"That is rather beside the point,
isn’t it? It all conies back to this
—that you are afraid of falling in
love with roe."
"You don’t look as if it would do
me any good if I did."
"Why not let it go at that?”
“I think the best thing I can do
is to get out altogether."
She rose swiftly and came close
to him. "Oh. no! 1 am not going
to let you go. You are the only
person on this continent who inter
ests me. 1 shall have your friend
ship. And you must admit that I
have done nothing——”
"Oh. no, you have done no" i.g.
You've only to be.” He wondared
that he felt no desire to touch her.
She looked lovely and appeal,ng
and very young. But she radiate 1
power, and that ch.n could act
mcTt.
He asked abruptly: "How many
I men have you had in love with
you?"
“Oh!” She spread out her hands
vaguely. "How can one remem
ber?” And that look he most dis
liked, that look of ancient wisdom,
i disillusioned and contemptuou;,
rams into her eyes.
“You are tuv young ic !u»»e n.id
so very many. And the war too*
a good slice out of your life. I
don’t suppose you were infatuate, t;
smashed-up men or even doct;*
and surgeons.”
"Certainly not. But, when on a
marries young—and one begin;, to
live early in Europe.”
"How often have you loved, rnur
self?"
"That question I could <u:'v.
specifically, but 1 shall not."
He calculated rapidly. "Fo ;t
years of war. Assuming that
are thirty-two, although sometime*
you look older and sometime*
younger, and that you married -.j
seventeen, that would leave you-'
well, eleven years before the war
began. I suppose you didn’t full
in love once a year?”
"Oh. no, I am a faithful so, 1.
Say three years and a third to eack
attack.” \
"Yon talk at times singularly
like an American for one who i t
here at the age of two.”
"Remember that my family wci,»
with me. Moreover. Mary and I
always talked English together--

"They would not see her nor

“Steinach Steinach - where

Her eyes flew open, but she low

MIME QUININE
'DOSES EOB CHILDREN
New Measures Inaugurated In
Fight on Malaria In Sumter
County’s Rural Schools
Preventive doses of quinine have
been distributed to the country
schools at a cost that enables the
school authorities, working in con
nection with the board of health,
to keep the children free of mala
ria for one cent a day. This state
ment was authorized today by Dr.
J. Wade Chambliss, county health
officer, with Dr. Brannen in direct
charge of anti-malaria work in
the county.
According to these authorities,
the pupils bringing a cent a day
wiil be given a capsule. If •‘.hey
take these capsules regularly, they
will not contract or pass on to oth
ers. malaria.
The regular taking of these cap
sules not only is not harmful, but
is beneficial. Outside of its mala
ria killing properties quinine is an
excellent general tonic.
What kind of a parent is it who
will not s'pend a cent a day to keep
his child free of malaria?
Prospective mothers will do well
to protect themselves against ma
laria by taking the proper preven
tive doses of quinine. Your doctor
will tell you what amount a woman
of your weight should take.
Quinine wiil not. cause abortion.
Women with severe cases of malaria
took quinine and aborted. Unscien
tific persons blamed the quinine not
not the malaria,
Careful scientific work has shown
that in these eases the tincy blood
vessels which cany food from the
mother to the child have been chok
ed by swollen red blood cells car
rying malarial parasites and by
free parasites. This starves the
embryo to death and the mother
naturally aborts.
, One cent a day will save these
‘lives, according to Dr. Chambliss
and Dr. Brannen.
Malaria kills, they say. Make
no imstake about that.
To which they add: The dreaded
congestive chills, black water fe-■
ver and hemorrhagic fever are sim
ply "bad” cases of malaria. Any '
one contracting malaria runs the
chance of dying from a severe case.
Those of you who had a few mild
chills last summer., says these phy
sicians, may have severe cases next
tme. A cent a day is cheap life in
surance. When you take out this
policy you are given a bonus as
surance that you can have no ma
laria. Think it over, is the ad
vice of the health- authorities.
Talking to representative physic
ians and always taking their lowest
estimate, says Dr. Brennen, I have
determined that malaria in doctor’s
bills alone costs this county more
than $15,000 a year.
This figure is not guess work,
continued Dr. Brannen. It was
obtained by asking each physician
how much he charged people suf
fering from malaria yast year. The
total obtained was scaled 25 per
•ent in order to be more than sire
hat this is an extremely conserva
tive estimate.
The head of a family is in duty
oound to protect the health of his
family. Bv seeing that every one
of them—-including himself—takes
,i daily prophylactic dose of quin
ne he can keep them well—so far
is malaria is concerned.
Is it not worth the cost, say the
health authorities. One cent a day
pei person to keep your family
malaria free? Rmember that ma
laria causes at least half oft"the sick
ness in Sumter county.
When are you going to start, is
the question Dr. Chambliss and
Dr. Brannen are asking the public
PARKING BECOMES QUESTION.
ATLANTA, Oct. 24.—Parking in
the city of Atlanta is becoming a
question that is difficult to solve.
Out of 35:53 acres of curb to curb
area in the down town district,
14:06 are occupied by parked cars,
with only 21:47 acres left for the
movement of tn ffice. This survey
includes the district bounded by
Ivy’ Spring, Mitchell and Cain
streets and a recent survey at elev
en o'clock in the morning showed
that there were two thousand, two
hundred and thirty six ears p irked
in this district.

Medicine (Vegetable) Praised
by the Head of a

Lake Charles, La.—“l don’t know
whab(|'e would have done had we not

the best medicines made, and am sure the
i best liver medicine,’* said Mr. Henry
i Garrett, of this city.
"My whole family uses it,” continued
’ Mr. Garrett. “My wife says she believes
I she kept off the ‘flu’ by taking doses of
Black-Draught regularly.
I "I, myself, use Black-Draught for
! indigestion, and it is fine.
"We used pills and tablets and other
laxatives, but they never seemed to do
i us good, but the Black-Draught sure has,
and it has come to our house to stay.
We give it to our daughter for headache
| and torpid liver.
"1 am glad to recommend anything
that has been the help to my family that
Black-Draught has.
"My present health is good. Have
two boxes of Black-Draught in the house
j now.”
If your liver gets out of fix, take
Black-Draught. It wiil help to drive the
bile poisons and other unhealthfui mat
