Tune Travis had from her infancy deceived all the
care and attention that inherited wealth and a tyqundless love could
furnish. Her naturally able mind and "decisive personality were nourished and
trained to better develop in her the social instinct. And indeed the happiness of
her lot made of her a bubbling well-spring of good will that inundated all with
whom she came in contact
No one not even the incessantly watchful Mary knew of the un-
controllable urge that sometimes dominated her and brought with it that hideous
irxegtflar band on the back of her right hand. It was an urge that had come down to her
through many generations and it meant no good neither it nor the blotchy Red Circle that
told of its presence.
The Red Circle was-the mark of the notorious Bordens a family so separated
from the Travises that they knew not of each other even by reputation.
Still there it was and it was the outward manifestation of an inward blight that
made the girl a menace to society.
It affected her life strangely; how strangely you may know by reading'

Desire for the Gay life led Him to
misappropriate large Sum of .

' BOSTON" Mass. Jan. 4. George
W. Coleman the young man whose
colossalt defalcations -wrecked .the Jto-1'
tlonal City Ba;nk of Cambridge five
years ago and sentenced originally
to fifteen years In prison will be re
leased from the Greenfield jail at thq'
end of this month his term having
been shortened on account of good
behavior. Coleman declares that he
is through forever with the gay life
that led' to his downfall and that
when he regains his freedom "ha
means to start life anew and live
down the past. Whether he wlM re-
t turn to . Cambridge where his family
is well-to-do or enter into business
in some other part of the country has
not been determined.
The case of young Coleman attract
ed country-wide attention in 1913 he-
cause of the youth of the defaulter
the Immense amount of his stealinge
"and the manner In which shrewder
men stripped him of his Rl-gotten
gains.
Although the total amount of Cole-
9 man'a defalcations Is said to have been
close to $100000 the young man him-
self profited comparatively little by
his thefts. The bulk of the stolen

York tn "consequence of the sen-
sational revelations at Coleman's trial

Pegan a crusade .against the notorious
gangs of card sharps and fio-called
wire-tappers that resulted in sending
several of their leaders t-i prison.
The evidenco at the Coleman trial
showed that the young hank clerk be-
gan by. taking small amounts with
which to gratify. bia desire for a. gay
life. In the course of his rounda of
Boston's night resorts he made the
acquaintance of "Big- Bill" Kelihor
gambler and well known man about
town.
Keliher. handsome well-dressed
and polished jn manners undertook
to initiate- the youthful bank clerl?
into all the mysteries of the "Gay
White Way." Week-end trips to
New York became a regular thing
with young Coleman always accom-
panied by "Big Bill" and several oth-
or genial spirits whose infinite
knowledge of tho world and Us ways
dazzled the young man who was foot-
ing the bills. Occasionally several
"show girls" were added to tho 4iarty
to make things merrier.
When Coleman confided to Kelfhcr
the source of the -funds he had. been

and "distinguished patrons" In ii-
uaeulHte evening attire.
Fpr some reason satisfactorily ex
plained by "Big Bill" the crooked
dealer was unable to carry' out 'his
part of the plan at tiio" first session.
So several' subsequent visits '.wore

thousands- of dollars from the Na-
tional City Bank of Cambridge were-

ances A ten-dollar bill was the ex-
tent of "Big Bill's'- generosity to the
youth .whom he had fleeced .of a for-
tune. With the meagre funds he was
able to scrape together Coleman fled
from tho city. A week later he sur-
rendered ; himself to the authorities
in -Kansas City and voluntarily re-
turned to Cambridge to stand trial.

Ready Ky. " I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months' writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher of this place "and
-was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good and he had
to give it op. We tried another doctor
but he did not help me.
At last my mother advised me to take
Cardui the woman's tonic. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing. .
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased
and I look therpicture of health. "
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay Is dangerous. We know
it will help you for it has helped so

in the past 50 years.
