Tucker t-ase, a drama of 1ov-j. 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.

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- * no wiier® cuiiuia vne, isiu .uui 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," saJd he. "that word 'monotony.* That they were not overpowered to the ex tent of losing their Interest In Ufa waj their good fortune. 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 stimulation of any of the senses except produces drowsiness or hebetude, only requirement Is that the stimulation be mild and repeated and of the same degree eafch time. ••v™. fnn f M i this effset through ally by looking at Any hi object kept In regular motion.

Many persona are lulled to sleep by music, gjrtfcularly if it be soft and In a minor Irresistible Colors. careful examination of the places where suicides occur most frequently demonstrated how these conditions are fulfilled at Niagara Fails. In each case tho current at that point Is swift and strong and moves incessantly with a wavy motion. In the wave win be found bright green colors that repeatedly flash in the sunlight. Irresistibly holding the eye! Joined with this Is tho hoarse snd changeless song of the cataract. If Dr. Col. Tucker wc.it alone to hit post of duty In tile northland.
