hut red and jealousy that more than
••nee Iioh **t the war department by
the curs, which haw caused ali kinds
at trouble for high government
claim from the president of the
United States down, which has been
u source of gossip from the Atlantic
to the Paclflr and even across the blue
waters of tho latter ocean, away into
the Philippines?
Who Is the mysterious woman that
silently, unobtrusively Is fighting for
tho Ilf" of one of Uncle Sam’* gallant
soldiers?
Her name Is known. It Is Mrs.
Myrtle B. Platt. Little ©Iso about
this woman, however, has become pub
lic property.
It Is sahl that she Is a widow*: that
ho husband was a school teacher;
that she met Col. Tucker while the
lutter was stationed In the Island
across the Pacific.
Who Is Mrs. Platt?
T?ut what about her? What about
her early life? What about her
married life? What about her per
sonality? What nhout that mysterl-
eharm that she Is said fo exer-
ovor Col. Tucker, son-in-law of
tho famous “Mack Jack” Logan, n
nation's hero and the Idol of the Civil
war veterans?
i« eyes of two continents have
centered upon Mrs. Myrtle R.
Platt ever since her name became
linked with that of Col. Tucker,
Tho woman, according to nil ac
counts, has traveled with Tucker, has
nursed him snd went to Hot Hprlngs,
Ark.. In company with Col. Tucker's
sister nnd her husband, where the
soldier wss battling for his life In the
hospital, which, by a queer twist of
fate. In named for the husbnnd of the
woman who Is now Tuckers bitterest
enemy.
It was Mrs. Platt who. only a few
weeks ago. was with Col. Tucker In
Mount Clemens. Mich., while he un
derwent a serious operation. It wa
Mrs. Platt who. at that time, waa his
devoted nurse: who stood by his side
whltp the surgeons did their work;
who acted ns his secretory and who
supervised things generally.
And yet few persons have ever set
eyes on this woman of mystery
Who conies and goes, always In the
company of Col. Tucker, sometimes
with relatives of her own. more often
with relatives of tho now disabled
officer. And yet she manages to keep
her Identity almost a secret.
Doss Not Defsnd Self.
If the tonfeues of gosslvin^ men and
women wound her she gives no sign.
If. at the two Implacable foes
tha army man, his own wife and hi*
mother-in-law, allege, their friend
ship Is close. Mrs. Platt gives n«
heed, speaks no word In her own de
fonse.
Those who have seen Mrs. Platt de
scribe her as being a slim, black
haired, pale-faced woman of perhaps
3* years. She doqs not, It Is *ald
measure up to the popular standard
of • comeliness, but her conversation
and bearing show her to be a woman
of culture, Intelligencs and education.
The only time she has broken si
lence regarding her relations with
Col. Tucker was n few months ago
when sho was nursing him In Mount
Clemens.
"It Is reported." she was told, "that
you were with Col. Tucker In the
Philippines. In San Francisco, in Se
attle. In Portland. In Raton. New
Mexico: It la reported that you cams
to Mount Clemens In advance of Col,
Tucker; that you arranged trr his
apartments: that you were at the ho-
tel at the time he waa there: that you
are nursing him. Do you wish to ad
mit or deny the truth of these things
and sat yourself right with
| world?"
"I hare nothing to say concerning
any of these reports" she replied.
! with a weary little gesture. "I have
j nothing to say as to whether they are
; all true or all false, or portly true
and partly false. I think tho world
ought to be conslderato enough to
leave Col. Tucker alone, even If it
1 dees not leave me. Throughout this
affair my brothers and myself have
I maintained ft dignified silence, and I
l regret that I have had to make this
much of a statement. I think my
; affairs should be sacred to myself.
"1 will say th!*, however. I am here
as the guest of Col. Tucker's si a **.
Should not that quiet gossiping
tongues?"
That was all.
There wag nothing further to he
said. The dignified alienee had hern
resumed. Since that time no worj
has come from Mrs. Platt'* tips.
But she has never left the invalid
afmy officer far a moment except
when necessary. She remained wt*h
Mm In Mount Clemens until the sur
geon's wounds were healed. She went
with him when he wea ordered to g»
to Hot Springs. She was on *he train
when he was served with a warrant
»wom out by hts wlf* charging hlit
with wifs desertion.
And even though th* could not en

IDE LURE OF DOT
III NIAGARA FALLS
8TAQE WHEREON MANY LIF?
TRAGEDIES HAVE REACHED
THEIR CLIMAX.
NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y.. Nov.: 14.
—That Niagara Falls, the blidhful
scene of wedding nojourns since -the
time of our great-grandmothers, should
be also the leading stage whereon *o
many life tragedies have reached their
plin^s. seems the very Irony of para<
dox. And to students of mental phe
nomena the mysterious lure of Niagara
Falls, which unfailing year by year
adds to the appalling roster of sui
cides. has long been a grimly fascinat
ing puzzle.
This year during the period between
July 1 and October 6 twelve persons
have ended their lives at the brink
of the great cataract. Why did they
pass by the secret, solitary gates of
poison and gas, the quick turnstile of
the pistol, the sinister twilight path
way of morphine, and. Instead, seek
out this foaming, bellowing, frenzied
giant to beat out their puny livea upon
the rocks at his feet?
The lure of Niagara for newly wed
ded lovers may bo understood—If
honeymoons are suscoptlblo of being
understood. Materially speaking there
are miles of shady and sequestered
walks and hundreds of embowered
nooks, where, screened from pryinii
eyes nnd ears. Mary and John may
speak tho dear new language they
have h-amed or sit in voiceless rap
ture all undisturbed.
Trysting Place With Death.
Rut while the lovers live on. and
may explain these things to their own
satisfaction—and that would seem to
bo ull that Is necessary—the others
whose Jives have ended in the mist
cannot return to tell us why. If there
was a reason, they chose Niagara as
a trysting place with death. Thera Is
evidence to show that with most of
these death was not tha result of
choice, but of Impulse; that a large
proportion of suicides were persons
who came to the falls merely jfa vis
itors, with no other motive than to
se« the mighty cataract asd were led
to kill themselves by aomo sudden
and uncontrollable desire fostered
by the rushing waters.
Dr. A. L. Benedict, of Buffalo, a spe
cialist In nervous diseases, finds the ex
planation of this sudden Impulse in the
hypnotic Influences of tbs harrying flood.
For six years ever since thf February
day when MI** Alice M. Colle left Dr.
Benedict's office In good spirit* one after
noon and:war neveh heard of again except
through a note picked up on the bridge
hading to Luna Island from Goat Island,
the doctor has studied each cose of sui
cide attributed to the lure of the.falls,
with the result of confirming him more
and more strongly In the theory that the
victims were led to euiolde by hypno-

Colie In her farewell note to her parents
and her betrothed. Dr. Benedict's obser
vations lead him to the conclusion that
the waters have celled the majority of
the twelve who have token the plunge
since July 1. as well as the majority of
those who have gone over the falls in
other years.
"I am thoroughly convinced that hyp
notism Is responsible for so many sui
cides st Niagara.'' said Dr. Benedict,
"because thousands have experienced the
hynnotje Influence very strongly while
watching the cataract and listening to
Its hoarse, monotonous roer. Remember,"

tent of losing their Interest In Ufa waj

The Impulse to Plunge In.
*1 have met many persons who hav*
told mo that .they cannot stand near the
rapids or the cataract for any length of
tlmo without feeling a strong impulse to
jump In. I. myself, would not care to
sit within -sight nnd sound of the rapids
for any length of time, and I think I am
above the normal aj far as yielding to
hvpnotlc suggestion is concerned. It Is
dangerous to sit beside the cataract even
for persons perfectly normal.
‘T spoke of monotony. Monoto

produces drowsiness or hebetude,

be mild and repeated and of the same
degree eafch time.

With Regard to Our Brands
CJEVERAL have tola us that it was confusing to
order unless an explanation of each brand was made.
Some prefer a Rye—blend—Bourbon, Tennessee
or Corn Whiskey.
If you will notice we have explained the character
of each whiskey we offer. We do not sell any whiskey
that will not give an abundance of satisfaction.
With one exception, six full quarts is the smallest
shipment made—we do not assort. This reduces the
cost of handling, packing and carriage charges, enabling
us to offer six quarts at about the price we would get
for four.
Do not let our low prices prejudice you
are wholesale and you buy direct.
