CHAPTER V Continued.
Nora, as she stood in the full morn
ing Bunlight, was like to gladden the
eyes of nil mankind. She was beauti
ful, and all adjectives applicable would
but serve to confuse rather than to
embellish her physical excellence. She
was as beautiful as a garden rose Is,
needing no defense, no ramparts of
cloying phrases. The day of poets Is
gone, otherwise she would have been
sung In cantos. She was tall, shapely,
deep-bosomed, fine-skinned. Critics,
In praising her charms, delved Into
mythology and folk-lore for compari
sons, until there wasn't a goddess left
on Olympus or on Northland's Icy
capes; and when these Images became
a little shop-worn, referred to certain
masterpieces of the old fellows who
had left nothing more to be said In
oils. Nora enjoyed It all.
She had not been happy In the selec
tion of her stage name; but she had
chosen Eleanora da Toscana because
she believed there was good luck in
It. Once, long before the world knew
of her, 6he had returned home from
Italy unexpectedly. "Molly, here's
Nora, from Tuscany!" her delighted
father had cried; who at that time
liad a nebulous Idea that Tuscany was
somewhere In Ireland because it had a
Celtic ring to It. lieing filled with love
of Italy, Its tongue, Its history, Its
physical beauty, she naively trans
lated "Nora from Tuscany" Into Ital
ian, and declared that when she went
upon the stage she would be known
by that name. There had been some
amlling over the pseudonym; but
Nora was Irish enough to cling to it.
By and by the great music-loving pub
lic ceased to concern itself about her
Dame; It was her fresh beauty and
her wonderful voice they craved to see
and hear. Kings and queens, em
perors and empresses, princes and
princesses what is called royalty and
nobility In the newspapers freely gave
her homage. Quite a rise in the world
for a little girl who had once lived in
a shabby apartment In New York and
run barefooted on the wet asphalts,
summer nights!
But Nora was not recalling the
happy scenes of her childhood; In
deed, no; she was still threatening
Paris. Once there, she would not lack
for reprisals. To have played on her
pity! To have made a lure of her
tender concern for the unfortunate!
Never would she forgive such base
ness. And only a little while ago she
had been ae happy as the nightingale
to which they compared her. Never
had she wronged anyone; she had been
kindness and thoughtfulness to all
with whom she had come in contact.
But from now on! . . . Her fin
gers tightened round the bars. She
might have, posed as Dido when she
learned that the noble Aeneas was
dead. War, war; woe to the moths who
fluttered about her head hereafter!
Ah, but had she been happy? Her
hands did down the bars. Her ex
pression changed. The mouth drooped,
the eazle-Iieht In her eves dimmed.
From out the bright morning, some
where, had come weariness, and with
this came weakness, and finally, tears.
She heard the key turn In the lock.
They had never come so early before.
She was astonished to see that he'r
Jailer did not close the door ue usual.
He put down the breakfast tray on the
Table. There was tea and toast and
fruit.
'Mademoiselle, there has been a ter
rible mistake," said the man humbly.
"Ah! So you have found that out?"
she cried.
"Yes. You are not the person for
whom this room was intended." Which
was half a truth and perfectly true,
paradoxical aa it may seem, "Eat your
breakfast in peace. You are free,
mademoiselle."
"Free? You will not hinder me If I
walk through that door?" i
"No, mademoiselle. On the con
trary, I shall be very glad, and so will
my brother, who guards you at night
I repeat, there has been a frightful mis
take. Monsieur Champeaux . . ."
"Monsieur Champeaux?" Nora was
bewildered. She had never heard this
name before.
"He calls himself that," was the dip
lomatic answer.
AH Nora's eusplclons took firm
ground again. "Will you describe this
Monsieur Champeaux to me?" asked
the actress coming into life.
"He Is short, dark, and old, made
moiselle." "Rather is he not tall, blond and
young?" Ironically,
The Jailer concealed what annoy
ance he felt In his way he was Just
as capable an actor aa ehe was. The
accuracy of her description startled
him ; for the affair had been carried
out so adroitly that he had been posi
tive that until her leal tiHor ap
peared phu would he totully In the
dark regarding Identity. And here
hho had hit It off In Ichh that) a dozen
wordn. Oh, well; It did not matter
now. Kin nielli try to make It un
plmisant for his employer, but ho
doubted the ultimata succchm of her
attempts. However, the matter wad at
au end us far its he was concerned.
"Jluve you thought whut this means?
It la abduction. It In a crime you have
commuted, punishable by long Impris
onment." "I have been mademolsLlle's Jailer,
not her abductor, And when one Is
poor and In need of money!" He
dirugged.
"I will give you a thoiiFiind francs
for the name und address of the man
who Instigated this outrage."
Ah, he thought; then she wasn't so
snro? "I told you the name, mademoi
selle. As for his address, I dare not
give It, not for ten thousand franc.
Ilesldes, I have said that there has
been a mistake."
"For whom have I been mistaken?"
"Who but. Monsieur Champeaux's
wife, mademoiselle, who Is not lu her
right mind?" with Inimitable sadness.
"Very well," said Nora. "You say i
that I am free. That is all I want,
freedom."
"lu twenty minutes the elm trie tram
leaves for Paris. You will recall,
mademoiselle," humbly, "that we have
taken nothing belonging to you. You
have jour purso and hat and cloak.
The struggle was most unfortunate.
Hut, think, mademoiselle, think; we
thought you to be liiHtine!"
"I'ermlt me to doubt that! And you
are not afraid to let me go?"
"Not In the least, mademoiselle. A
mistake has been made, and in telling
you to go at once, we do our best to
rectify this mistake. It is only five
minutes to the tram. A carriage in at
the door. Will mademoiselle ho pleased
to remember that we have treated her
with the utmost courtesy?"
"I shall remember everything,"
ominously.
"Very pood, mademoiselle. You will
be In Paris before nine." With this
he bowed and backed out of the room
as hough Nora had suddenly made a
distinct ascension in the scale of im
portance. "Wait!" she called.' '
His face appeared In the doorway
again.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Since this morning, mademoiselle."
"That Is all."
Free! Her veins tlngft;d with
strange exultation. He had lost his
courage and had become afraid of the
consequences. Free! Monsieur Cham
peaux indeed! Cowardice was a new
development in his- character. He had
been afraid to come. She drank the
tea, but did not touch the toast or
fruit. There would be time enough
for breakfast when she arrived In
l'arls. Her hands trembled violently
as she pinned on her hat, and she was
not greatly concerned as to the angle.
She snatched up her purse and cloak,
and sped out Into the street. A phae
ton awaited her.
"The tram," she said.
"Yes. mademoiselle."
"And go quickly." She would not
feel safe until she was in the tram.
A face appeared at one of the 'win
dows. As the vehicle turned the cor
ner, the face vanished; and perhaps
that particular visage disappeared for
ever. A gray wig came off, the little
gray side whiskers, the bushy gray
eyebrows, revealing a clever face, not
more than thirty, cunning, but humor
ously cunning and anything but scoun
drelly. The painted scar aslant the
nose was also obliterated. With
haste the man thrust the evidences of
disguise into a traveling bag, ran here
and there through the rooms, all bare
and unfurnished save the one with the
bars and the kitchen, which contained
two cots and some cooking utensils.
Nothing of Importance had been left
behind. He locked the door and ran
all the way to the Place d'Armes,
catching the tram to Paris by a frac
tion of a minute.
All very well done. She would be
In Paris before the police made any
definite move. The one thing that dls-
"Have You Thought What This Means?
It Is Abduction!"
turbed him was ths thought of the
blockhead of a chatffeur, who had got
drunk before his return from Ver
sailles. If he talked; well, he could
-say nothing beyond the fact that he
bad deposited the singer at the house
as directed. He knew positively noth
ing. The man laughed softly. A thou
sand francs apiece for him and An
toine, and no possible chance of be
ing discovered. Let the police find
the house In Versailles; let them
trace whatever paths they found; the
agent would tell them, and honestly,
that an aged man had rented the
house for a month and had paid him
In advance. What more could the
agent say? . Only one bit of puzzle
ment: why hadn't the blond stranger
appeared? Who was he, in truth, and
what had been his game? All this
waiting and wondering, and then a
curt telegram of the night before, say

Nora smiled disbellevlngly. Doubt

lie.
"And you?" asked the chief of No
ra's chauffeur.
"He is certainly the gentleman, mon
sieur, who attempted to bribe me."
"That is true," said Courtlandt wltr
utmost calmness.
"Mademoiselle, If Monsieur Court
landt wished, he could accuse. you ol
attempting to shoot him."
"It was an accident. His sudden ap
pearance in my apartment frightenet
me. Besides, I believe a woman whe
lives comparatively alone has a lega!

from such unwarrantable intrusions
I wish him no physical injury, but :

The minister's eyes sought Court

"Monsieur Courtlandt, you will glv

"I promise never to annoy het

For the briefest moment the blazinf

ones. The latter were first to deviatt
from the line. It was not agreeable
I to look into a pair of eyee burnini
with the hate of one's self. Perhapf
this conflagration was intensified bj
the placidity of his gaze. If only then

"Mademoiselle, I find no case

Nora shook her head. The chief ol
police stroked his mustache to bide
the fleeting smile. A peculiar case
the like of which had never before
come under his scrutiny! "Circum

The owner of a city or town lot, of
a suburban home or a country estate,
la-usually Interested In affairs which
he considers more Important, or, at
least, more practical, than the abstract
principles of gardening, no matter In
what form they are presented or what
application Is to be made of them.
Ills Immediate requirement, If his at
tention Is directed at all toward the
subject, is practise and not theory.
He wants planting and not principle;
his main desire is to employ the
speediest and safest process to make
his yard, his grounds, or his estate as
harmoniously and effectively beauti
ful as trees, shrubs, plants and vines,
within the limits of his financial re
sources, will permit. In a sense, he
Is Justified; and, In any event, he Is
bnt responding to a common and nat
ural Impulse to obtain for hlmBelf
that which has pleased or Interested
fclm. He Is Impatient' of theory and
anxious for results. Disquisitions on
the fundamental laws of gardening or
landscaping are tedious if not perplex
ing, and
In his Judgment, of little
value. His conclusion may be hasty,
but to some extent Is entirely correct.
There are no hard and fast rules for
gardening, and particularly for the art
of ornamental gardening, whether It
be conducted on a large or a small
scale, on a country estate, or on the
back of a city lot. There are some
principles best remembered, but even
they are not without innumerable va
riations In application.
Where trees are planted on small
city lots. In many Instances shrubs
would be of greater value and be
more effective and far more appro
priate. As a matter of fact, the ad
vantages of shrubs are often' over
looked or Ignored. Tall-growing and
dwarf, evergreen and deciduous, flow
ering from early spring to late autumn
there are few places where shrubs
of one sort or another will not suc
ceed. They may be planted-as Indi
vidual specimens, as trees are plant-
ed; or they may be massed for dense
and solid effects.- The latter is the
better use of them, but there are situa
tions where the former planting Is
advisable and appropriate. The "mass"
planting never falls to add harmony
and beauty to a yard, large or small,
and contributes unity to its plan of
ornamentation. The wide variety in
habit of growth. In foliage, and' In
bloom, gives greatest value to shrubs.
They can be had for every situation.
Whether tall-growing or low-growing
shrubs are wanted; whether spring
effect, summer effect, or fall effect Is
wanted; wherher flower, fruit, or foli
age Is the conspicuous feature to be
observed the shrubs will serve. They
lend themselves to the masking of
foundations, unsightly views, and out
looks; they make excellent back
grounds for flowers; they break the

contrast between flower borders and
trees; they make excellent ground
covers on steep banks; and they are
equally serviceable in breaking levels.
Planted where It Is desired that a

And, no matter to what use they are
put, once established, they require
comparatively little attention.
Now, this bungalow Is suggested as
an admirable design for construction
on a lot where there will be ample
room for the planting of shrubbery In
an artistic way. It is well adapted for
a corner lot. The little house presents
the idea of cozlness; and the grounds,

Says Hospitals Need Humanizing.
Hospitals need humanizing and doc
tors need socializing, so that both may
give the community medical social
service, according to Dr. Stephen S
Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue,
who spoke at a meeting of the New
York Conference on Hospital Social
Service.
"We have a right," said Dr. Wise,
"to ask of hospitals more than mere
treatment of disease. They should
tell us the causes of social disease
We ask hospitals to do more than give
remedial attention to tuberculosis. We
ask them to tell everyone the causes
of tuberculosis. But hospitals can't
become real social centers until theit
boards of directors and physicians are
socialized. We want to give thm a
social consciousness. Physicians es
peclally must get a social vision, thej
must realize their relation In the so
cial order."
Dr. Wise added that many hospital!

TRINITY HOUSE OLD IN YEARS

I.ondon On May 20, 1514, King
Henry VIII, who was the virtual
founder of tho British navy, granted
a charter to the corporation of Trin
ity House, and on May 2u, 1914, the
brethren of the corporation celebrated
the 40Mh anniversary by holding a

Dolphin Tavern on this side, which is
very near us; and the fire with extra
ordinary vehemence."
Tho house was rebuilt, but was
again destroyed by fire In 1714, and
on this occasion the outbreak was
particularly disastrous, as most of the
archives of the corporation were de
stroyed. As a result the history of
its early days la obscure. It is gener
ally believed that some kind of asso
ciation of maritime men for the pro
tection of the trade of the port of
London existed long before the reign
of Henry VIII., and the charter
granted In 1514, seems to recognize
the value of such an organization and
to aim at strengthening its position.

IS OLDEST WOMAN IN U. S,
Mrs. Clara Fountain Born in Bondage
Year George Washington Died
Celebrates 115th Birthday.
Hastings, Neb. Mrs. Clara Dawson
Newhouse Briley Fountain, the oldest
person In Nebraska, who lays claim to
being the oldeBt person in the United
States, celebrated her 115th birthday
at her home In Hastings recently. She
said her health Is far better than it
was five years ago and she chuckled
as she said between puffs of her fa
vorite pipe: "Speckt there must be
something to what my son said on
my birthday, when he declared I was
goln' to live forever."
Mrs. Briley lives with her son, Dr.
Nelson Briley, seventy-five, a colored
veterinary. She was born In bondage
on a Virginia plantation in 1779, the
same year George Washington died,
she says. Her own father, Tom Daw
son, on whose plantation she was born
of a slave mother, sold her in bondage
to Middleton Thomas of Louisville,
Ky., and when she was but eleven
years old she was taken to a Ken
tucky plantation, away from her moth
er and associates.
"My old daddy promised me half
the $300 he got when he sold me, but
I never seen any of the money or him
again," she said. "I was christened
twice, the first time Dawson and the
next time Newhouse. I was married
three times and I outlived them all
more than 40 years."
Mrs. Briley dearly loves her pipe
and smokes incessantly, often arising
In the middle of the night for an ex
tra pipe or two. "No, it don't hurt
me," she said, "but it does me lots of
good and makes me live longer. I like
pop, too, and drink a bottle whenever
I can get It."
"I sleep well and can eat more than
any one in the family, I guess. Two
white women brought me two new-
aprons and a Jar of apple butter on
my birthday. My, they were good to
me. A man offered to give me a ride
In his auto, but I'm 'feerd of them
things."
Mrs. Briley has not been to church
for several years, but accepted an in
vitation to attend Sunday. She has
recently lost the sight of one eye, but
the other member Is good. She suf
fers but little ache or pain, is never
sick and walks about the house and
yard with the aid of a cane. She
posed for a picture with pleasure
on her birthday.

It is true that nature and a woman's
Wor oas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them ojienly state
over their own signatures that theyhave
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical oierations.

HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

wise, good friend in her mother-in-law.
Jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
"I was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and
yellow. After meals I often suffered
sharp pains and would have to He
down. My mother often told me It
was the coffee I drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
"While visiting my mother-in-law I
remarked that Bhe always made such,
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me It wass
easy to make good 'coffee' when you
use Postum.
"I began to use Postum as soon as I
got home, and now we have the same
good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and
I have no more trouble. Indigestloa
Is a thing of the past, and my com
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
"My grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was Just as bad.
"She finally was Induced to try Post
um which she has used for over a
year. She traveled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to
do for years. She says she owe's her
present good health to Postum."
