By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
W E must go & call on the Stern-
becks tonlte, sod Ma. You know
how pinch I think of Missus
Sternheck. She Is a deer llttei lady.
Ma .sod, Oevon if her taste in dress is
a lit tel wobbly. I know you will not
not the kind of a man to worship
like her husband, beekaus you are
welth, sed Ma, ft that is about all
M hit or Sternbeck has. He is worth a
'ifj'.'-hed of munny. He cud buy the
Panama -anal after it is finished, Ma
• I. ft make a private pickrel pond out
< f it.
I wish wo dident have to go. Pa sed
! bate :< set ft listen to sum fat rich
man telling how he started on a shoe
string & beeealm the coupon-clipping
kid. I have offen had to set & hear
that kind of guff. Pa sed, wen all I had
in my pocket was a hard, thin dollar.
Isent thare sum way we cud git out
of all this visiting rich folks?
I wuddent think of disappointing Mis
sus Sternheck tonlte, sed Ma. So we
went.
A Fiue Home.
The Sternbecks live In a very fine
hoam It is a lot bigger than our flat,
->ut it isent so nice looking, thare is
»- much furniture in it & gold fraims,
*-tc. I toald Ma that & she sed I shud
*e vary careful what I sed. Missus
Sternheck was a deer littel lady, like
Ma sed, but Mister Sternheck was fat
& Common. He started rite in telling
how much wine he had in his wine cel
lar. I marked down all the amounts in
a littel book & wen he saw me doing
it he asked me why I was marking down
the prices he menshuned. I toald him
that wen he got all thru I was going
to .add the Aggers up & find out how
much munny it wud cost me to keep
house wen I got to be a self made man.
Then everybody laffed excep him.
I cud see that Pa had an awful grouch
on, beekaus he grinned all the time
the way he grins at me wen he stands
neer the door with a slipper & says
"Bobbie, see here a minnit.” But the
rest of the peepul thot he seemd to be
having a good time.
We had a very fine dinner & after
the dinner Missus Sternbeck & Ma start
ed to look at sum fashun magazeens
& us men went into the smoking room.
Here are some very expensive cigars,
sed Mister Sternbeck. Thay cost me
one thousand dollars a thousand. I am
g’lari yure littel son doesnt sir.oak, he
sed. It wud seem a shalm to waste a
dollar cigar on him. Try one of these,
he sed to Pa. Stick one in yure pocket
for later in the eevning. he sed. Or if
you wud prefer cigarettes, I have sum
choice Turkish cigarettes. They cost
me one hundred dollars a hundred boxes,
he sed.
Wile I was putting down the amounts
tii my littel book Pa & Mistern Stern-
k started to play a gaim of bilyards
ft smoak. This is a fine tabel, sed Mis
ter Sternbeck. It cost me one thousand
'dollars ft Willie Hoope played on It onst
& sed it was one of the best tabels on
vich he had ewer played. Isent that
a fine cue you are using? he asked Pa.
Tt is. sed Pa. I cud see that Pa was

Sundays, generally, I wash my fare,
and it is quite a process, for only on
one day of the week do I use water
on my face. First, a good washing
with warm water and castile #oap,
then a thorough steaming, followed
by a witch hazel rub, next a dash
or two of cold wat^r. and finally my
old friend, cold cream, again."
With Miss D’Armond’s firm, satiny
skin and clear facial contours to
recommend her treatment, I add my
indorsement for her theory; and if
the girl whose face is too fat. or whos •*
skin shows a tendency to sag or
wrinkle, will try it, surely she wdll
bless pretty Isabel! £>’Armond, as
double chins and sallow skin vanish
and clear skin and firm flesh take

“You go abroad so much,” said I,
“with a London season only a few
weeks ahead, tell me just how you
think our girls compare with those
of other countries, won’t you?”
“Oh. American girls are the pret

Isabell d’Armond’s smile, and a picture pose.
By LILIAN LAUFERTY.
' A Clear Skin.
AVE you begun to wonder what
has become of the girl who is
petite and dainty and sweet,
who is not an undulating giantess of
snaky figure, but who represents love
ly girlhood of the kind that has
charmed the world for ages?
Be of good cheer. “Girl—real girl"
exists in spite of all the cut-off-
the-same pattern evidence to the con
trary. She exists, for I have seen
and talked to her. Isabell D’Armond
—one of B. F. Keith’s charming
Lights o’ Vaudeville, and who is well
known in Atlanta, having appeared
on several occasion at the Forsyth—
is petite and dainty and sweet, and
very, very clever—clever enough to
understand her type and not depart
therefrom, and sweet enough to flit
through your brain to the tune of
the dear old refrain:
“Dainty little dimpled darling.
Fairer than the new-blown rose,
Pure and modest as the buds of
spring-time,
Sweetest flower that blows;
Laughter like the softest music,
Roguish, smiling eyes of blue—
Ah. to know you is to love you, sweet
heart,
Dainty little ingenue."
All of which applies to dainty Miss
D’Armond except that her eyes are
softly brown with the pure blue-

Even under the make-up, Miss
D’Armond’s 'skin showed clear and
blemishless; her facial contours were
firm and rounded, with no sagging
lines at chin or throat or eyes. No
athlete in the prime of condition ever
had firmer flesh and more satiny skin.
And this is not the result of chance,
for Miss D’Armond knows Just how
to achieve these results.
“I do not believe in soap or even
water for the face,” said she. “Water
makes wrinkles, especially when its
use is followed by that of a linen or
damask towel. I use a bath towel to
dry my face when I wash it once a
week. Are you shocked at that?
Please don’t be, for I am sure I keep
my face clean! Cold cream and plen
ty of it—that is my means for cleans
ing and keeping the flesh firm; and
then I always rub up—up under the
chin, up from the sagging wrinkles
that like to cut a path from nostril
to lip corners, and up under the eyes
with light strokes. Cold cream
packed firmly under the eyes at night
keeps away the tiny network of
wrinkles that it is so hard to avoid.
And tiny strips of court-plaster at
the outer corners of the eyes and
across the furrows that come be
tween the eyes smooth them out.
“And now, listen to the party I
have with myself once a week: On
groomed, well bred and have a fine
outdoor swing when they walk—
that is, if they walk naturally and not
just a la mode. But fat does threaten
us—sweets and comfort and petting
and pampering do that. I am very
careful about not getting fat-—and I
take simple precautions besides
plenty of exercise in the walking
line.
“Let me tell you about my anti-fat
methods—a glass of hot w’ater the
first thing on getting up in the morn
ing and then a simple breakfast be
ginning with acid fruit. Plenty of
hot water and acid fruit keep the sys
tem clean and sweet. No potatoes, no
bread—though unbuttered toast is
harmless—few sweets, no fats and no
water at meals—that is a diet that it
is not a hardship to endure. And then
always stand after meals. That irs
not a fad—it is a fact in the thinning
process. I am not recommending any
thing that I have not tried out myself,
and I am glad to help any girl who is
determined not to be a victim of the
‘white woman’s burden’—fat.”
The great brown eyes looked at me
earnestly, the merry mouth was ready
to tremble into Its Infectious . little
crooked smile--r»ne of the gayest,
most heart-reaching smiles imagina
ble—and suddenly one of dainty Tsa-
bell D’Armond’s greatest beauty se
crets revealed itself to me: it is this—
her unselfish interest in all that goes
on around her—her genuine admira
tion of other woiyien, her sweet, sane
oneness with all of life.
Some Don’ts for Girls
By BE ATRICE FAIRFAX.
D ON’T compare the criticisms of
your parents with the compli
ments paid you by a young
man to the detriment of the former.
The criticisms are at least based on
sincerity.
Don’t regard every compliment paid
you as a reason why you should have
your photograph taken. Frequent vis
its to a photographer are signs of a
vain mind.
Don’t seek information from a
dream book. No one expects much
from the girl who seeks information
from a dream book instead of from
an encyclopedia.
Don’t get the prevalent notion that
the young man who spends a month's
salary in giving you a good time
thinks more of you than the man who
refuses to spend a week’s. The latter
loves more sanely.
Don’t overlook the importance of a
love affair with your father. That is
the best investment in the love of
man that any girl can make.
Don’t forget that mother is a hu
man being, and sometimes gets tired.
Don’t feel the third time a young
man has called bn you that it is time
for von to take possession and de
mand that he account for the even
ings he spent somewhere else.
Don’t accept attentions from the
wrong kind of a man, excusing your
self because they mean nothing and
i are trivial. Remember that the girl
who walks only as far as the corner
with the wrong kind of man will, meet
every ohe she knows on the way.
Don’t resent the degrire of yopr par
ents to know something of the young
man who calls on you. They fail in
their duty to you if they lack this
desire, or fall to a<H upon it.
Don't give your heart to a man who
refers to his parents as “the old lady”
and “the old man.”
Don’t ever outgrow the habit of
your childhood of telling your mother
when you get home all that happened
at the party. It is more important
that you tell her what happens now
you are grown than that you told her
when you were little.
Don’t forget, if you have a little,
that you have more than your par
ents had In their youth, and that they
have struggled every day since you
came into the world with that unself
ish ambition in view.

But, with a movement of great
swiftness Garson got in front of hOr,
and barred her going. For a few sec
onds the two stared at each other
searchingry as if learning new and
strange things; each o£ the other. In
the girl’s expression was an outragel
wonder and a great terror. In the
man’s was a half-shamed pride, as if
he exulted in the strength with which
he had been able to maintain his will
against her supreme effort to over
throw It.
“You can’t go,” Garson said sharp
ly. “You might be caught.”
“And if I were.” Mary demanded In
a flash of indignation, “do you think
I’d tell?"
There came an abrupt change In
the hard face of the man. Into the
piercing eye* flamed a softer fire of
tenderness. The firm mouth grew
strangely gentle as he replied, and
j his voice was overtoned with faith.
“Of course not, Mary,”, he said. “I
know you. You would go up for life
first.”
Then again hie expression became
resolute, and he spoke imperiously.
“Just the same, you can’t take
any chances. We’ll all get away in
a minute, and you’ll come with us.”
He turned to the men and spoke wltn
swift authority.
“Come,” he said to Dacey, “you eet
to the light switch there by the hall
door. If you hear me snap my fingers
turn ’en> off. Understand?”
Went to His Station.
With instant obedience the man ad
dressed went to his station by the
hall door, and stood ready to con
trol the electric current.
The distracted girl essayed one last
plea. The momentary softening of
Garson had given her new courage.
“Joe, don’t do this.”
“You can’t stop it now. Mary,”
camo the brisk retort. “Too late.
You’re only wasting time, making it
dangerous for all of us.”
Again he gave his attention to
carrying on the robbery.
“Red,” he ordered, “you go to that
door.” He pointed to the one that
gave on the passageway against
which he had set the chair tilted. As
the man obeyed Garson gave fur
ther instructions.
“If any one comes in that way get
him quick. You understand? Don’t
let him cry out.”
Chicago Red grinned with cheerful
acceptance of the issue in such an en
counter. He held up his huge hand
widely open.
“Not a chance,” he declared, proud
ly. “with that over his mug.” To
avoid possible Interruption of his
movements in an emergency he re
moved the chair Garson had placed
and set it to one side, out of the
way.
“Now, let’s get to work,” Garson
continued eagerly.
Mary spoke with the bitterness of
defeat.
“Listen, Joe! If you do this I’m
through with you. I quit.”
Garson was undismayed by the
threat.
“If this goes through,” he coun
tered, "we’ll all quit. That’s why I’m
doing it. I’m sick of the game.”
He turned to the work in hand with
increased energy.
“Come, you, Griggs and Red, and
push that desk down a bit so that 1
can stand on it.” The two men bent
to the task heedless of Mary’s fran
tic protest.
“No! no! no! no! no! Joe!”
Red. however, suddenly straight
ened from the desk and stood motion
less, listening. He made a slight hiss
ing noise that arrested the attention
of the others and held them in move
less silence. ,
“I hear something,” he whispered.
He went to the keyhole of the door
leading into the passage. Then he
whispered again, "And it’s ^ coming
this way.”
At. the word# Garson snapped his
fingers. The room was plunged in
.darkness.
CHAPTER XVIII.
The Noiseless Death.
There : was absolute silence in the
library after the turning of the switch
that brought the, pall of darkness.
I Long seconds passed, then a little
noise—the knob of the passage, door
turning. As the door swung open
there came a gasping breath from,
Mary, for she saw framed in the faint
light that came from the single burn
er in the corridor the slender form of
her husband, Dick Gilder. In the
next instant he bad stepped wijhin
the room and pulled to the door be
hind him. And in that same instant
Chicago Red had pounced on his vic
tim, the huge hand dapped tight over
the young man’s mouth. Even as hie
powerful arm held the newcomer in
an inescapable embrace there came a
sound of scuffling feet and that was
all. Finally the big man’s voijee came
triumphantly.
“I’ve got him.”
“It’s Dick!” The cry came as a|
wail of despair from the girl. i

they found the city In the greatest
state of excitement over the impend

of news concerning the, arrival of the
magnates. There were long inter
views with the big club owners from
the North. The magnates would say

They were willing to talk on general all offers, felt the necessity, aside
baseball topics, however. The gath
ering of the magnates took on the as
pect of a great political convention
and the newspapers handled It that
way. Columns and columns of space
were devoted to It.
By noon that day fifteen out of the .
sixteen big league clubs were repre- I
sented in the persons of their presi
dents and Atlanta became, politically,
the baseball center of the world.
As yet no definite move had been
made by any of the club owners to
bring the Gordon Kelly matter to

Atlanta club. The affair had assumed
such an importance that each vhsit

the magnates over this declaration
and corresponding gloom among the
“fans” of Atlanta, who were prompt

newspapers. The moguls were about

CHAPTER XVI.
A UGUST HERRMANN, President
of the Cincinnati National
•League Baseball Club, and
chairman of the National Commis
sion, the “Supremo Court of Base
ball,” was the first of the magnates
to make a determined effort to buy
the release of Gordon Kelly from the
Atlanta Club. He sought and ob
tained a personal conference with
President Callaway of the Atlanta
Club and got right down to business
without wasting words*. He explain
ed that in his rapacity as President
of the Cincinnati Club he had come
to Atlanta to make an offer for Kel
ly’s services, that he understood that
previous offers had been of a more
or less vague sort, and wound up by
making a fiat proposition to buy Kel
ly’s release for $15,000 cash.
“But, Mr. Herrmann," expostulated
Callaway, “the Atlanta Club does not
want to dispose of Gordon Kelly. We
all appreciate the significance of all
you owners of the big clubs coming
to Atlanta at this time, but we really
don’t care to talk business.”
To this Herrmann replied:
"Speaking now as chairman of the
National Commission, I would say
that one of the fundamental rules of
the commission Is that a ball player
must be allowed to improve his con- |
dltlon when ever the opportunity !
presents Itself. The Southern League
is hampered by a salary limit, while
there Is no limit to the salary a ma
jor league club may bay a player.
There is nothing in the laws of the I

player who had set the baseball
world on fire.
It had been raining most of the
night before and part of the morn
ing. The afternoon was dark and
murky and the conditions were very
unfavorable for a ball game. What
with the dreary, dun-colored clouds
trailing their dim regiments over
head, the drearier rain soaking the
field Into a swamp and the ghoulish-
looking players ranting around in the
mud like a squad of Klralfy’s high
kickers, the spectacle was anything
tut edifying to the assembled crowd.
But any sort of a day was good
enough to see Gordon Kelly play and
there was a surprisingly large crowd
on hand when the game began.
The game itself was not calculated
to promulgate heart disease. Gordon
Kelly had no opportunity to distin
guish himself In the field. One very
easy fly ball was all that came In his
direction. At bat, however, he knock
ed out two singles and a three-bag
ger, but attempted no base stealing,
as the condition of the diamond made
it dangerous.
That evening the visiting magnates
were dined at the gorgeous Capital
City Club by the directors of the At
lanta Baseball Club. After the sol
ids were disposed of Hsrrmann, of
Cincinnati, arose and after apologiz
ing for Intruding business on pleas
ure, remarked that he, for one, must
hurry back to his home on an urgent
matter and suggested that the mat
ter of Gordon Kelly be settled then
and for all.
At that President Johnson of the
American League called his club
owners to a corner of the room and
addressed a few earnest remarks to
them. It quickly developed that the
price already offered for Gordon Kel
ly wfig as high as most of them cared
to go. It was something unprece
dented in the history of baseball that
a player who had been In the game
only a few days should command
such a figure, and many of the club
Presidents were already alarmed at
the turn affairs had taken.
To be Continued To-morrow.

My kind friends, there is a cure for
indigestion or sour bloating stomach,
not something that you have to take
after or before you eat an long as you
live, but a remedy that cleanses and
heals that mucous lining, puts the
stomach and bowels in good, healthy
condition, builds up the entire system
so you don’t have to keep suffering
with that misery. Quaker Herb Ex
tract is a complete cure for indiges
tion, dyspepsia, biliousness or any
form of stomach trouble, it will cure
catarrh in any form, rheumatism,
liver, kidney or bladder troubles.
,Here is a report of a lady, Mrs.
R. T. Bartlett., who resides at Lake-
wood Heights, Route No. 2, Box 144,
was troubled with Acute Indigestion:
"No matter what I ate seemed gas
would form from it, causing me much
misery. This gas would cause my
stomach to bloat, my heart to palpi
tate, my breath to get short and
would give me dizzy spells. It seemed
my food would not digest properly,
causing me distress. I used doctors’
treatments and different kinds of
medicines, but nothing helped me. I
seemed to be getting worse, and. as I
realized something had to be done, I
concluded to try once more, and there
fore, I called at Coursey & Munn’s
Drug Store for a treatment of Quaker.
,which was six bottles. I simply can
not tell how quickly this great rem
edy helped me. People will not be
lieve it if I tell them, but It is so. I
eat heartily without any stomach dis
tress following I simply beg and
hope that any and all persons who
might be suffering like I did, to at
least try the wonderful Quaker Herb
Extract.” $1.00 per bottle, three for
