All on Account of Poodles
ini !□□□□□□ OLD LADY’S
SAGE ADVICE
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
ft all happened In the baggage
room of the Grand Central station
and was entirely Marie's fault, though
not so much her fault as her Ignorance
of Poodles’ position In the household.
They werevon their way to Rye
Beach—Poodles, Aunt Polly and Marie.
Marie carried Poodles simply because
an attack of rheumatism prevented
Aunt Polly's carrying the dog and two
cru’ches at the same time.
Marie was a newly acquired member
of the family and all during the drive
to the station her ears were being
crammed with what to do and what
not to do with Poodles. Arrived In the
baggage room everything slipped from
her mind except the careful checklhg
of three trunks. Aunt Polly had been
rushed ofT to her train by the porter,
a trail of cautions wafting back from
the door as she went.
Naturally, Marie did not know that
Poodles was nevey permitted to put
his little feet on the dirt of public by-
ways and, unthinkingly, she set him
down while she accepted her luggage
check. Meantime, Poodles roamed off
toward the door and out Into the fresh
air. By the time Marie had delved Into
the bottom of her hand bag, extracted
her purse and put a coin Into each of
the hands outstretched In readiness,
she heard an "all aboard," and rushed
off Just In time to make the train be-
fore It puffed out.
But quicker than that had been the
wo~k of the villains. The moment the
small tousled head of poodles appeared
In the station door there was a low.
enticing whistle from within a closed
< rlage.
"oodles was not ungrateful to Aunt
was prone to accept favors from
others. Besides—another thought pro-
pelled his fat legs In the direction of
L, the whistle—he had had no breakfast!

advisable considering the Joai^ey be-
fore him.
From behind the mat of snow white
hair his little beadllke eyes lighted
up—unmistakably the odor of his fa-
vorite Brand of liver was wafted from
the door of the carriage. Again the
familiar whistle Invited him.
He ventured nearer, even gofng so
far as to put one forepaw on the low
step, sniffing hungrily the while.
"Nice Poodle*—" same from within
In a caressing voice. At the same time
a square of fresh. Juicy liver was edged
nearer the door. That was too much
for an empty stomach. Poodles leaped
In, the door slammed and tho carriage
rolled swiftly away.
The arch-conspirators, for there
were two of them, looked Into the eyes
of each other and laughed. Poodles,
deeply engrossed In the delicacy of
liver, remained blissfully Ignorant of
the faot that he was being stolen.
“Didn't it work beautifully?’’ asked
the girl.
“Tou’re a wonder,” said Aunt Polly’s
nephew as he squeezed the slender
figure beside him, "and now maybe
the old lady won’t refuse to meet you.”
“It’s rather a mean trick,” aald Syl-
via remorsefully, “bet—there is no
sense In her refusing to have anything
to do with me Juat because I happen
to support my family by going on the
stage—la there?” She looked et him
appealingly’as If for confirmation of
her reasoning. But thkAwaa not neces-
sary. for Jack Orth lived Sylvia Day
and would sacrifice any Inheritance
raUier than loee her; but By 1 via had
made up her mind to make Aunt Polly
Orth love her, too. The kidnaping of
Pood lee was a plot entrely her own-
jack wae merely a willing eecond to
anything Sylvia desired.
“You see,” she continued. “1 am do-
ing thia aa much for her as I am lor
ns—ah* loves yon more than anything
—after Poodles—and If she disinherit-
ed yon she would be almost an unhap-
py aa she will bo. Ovek tho loaf of

Poodles Is not the paragon of loveli-
ness to everyone that be Is to- Aunt
Polly—poor old lady,” she put In re-
morsefully. ”8he must be having 19
fits by this time—but we won’t keep
her darling long.”
Meantimo Aunt Polly certainly^ was
causing a little excitement. When she
discovered Poodles’ loss she fainted on
tu spot, then hurriedly regained her
equanimity and went in search of <the
conductor to have the train stopped—
a thing he flatly refused to do. When
she had reduced Marie to ashes from
the heat of her wrath she Anally or-
dered her off the train at the next sta-
tion. This Marie refused to do. well
knowing that the old lady In her pres-
ent state was no subject for lone trav-
eling.
However, she did get out and tele-
graph to Jack Orth to the effect that
n_ was to go post haste to the Grand
Central, find Poodles If possible, and
take the flrBt traiu to Rye.
When they reached their destina-
tion Marie had partly consoled the old
lady with the hope that Poodles would
be returned undoubtedly. She spoke at
length on the collar which he wore In
which his full name and both country
and city addresses were studded.
But when the noou hour struck and
the awfulness of Poodles’ famished
condition smote her she broke out
afresh, and It was during this outburst
that her nephew *arrived.
Notwlthsanding her refusal to meet
Sylvia or to recognize his engagement
to her. Jack Orth was very fond of hig
aunt. Knowing he was partly the
cause of her grief he took her into bis
arms and consoled as best be could,
is Suddenly ip th.^(alddle of her most
touching reminiscence a beatific smile
flitted across Aunt Polly’s face. She
Jumped up, forgetful of rheumatism—
of everything save the picture she saw
through tho window.
Jack, too, looked up. Coming up the
path toward the house was a very
trim, slender girl, and In her arm she
carried a fat dog. Jack beat a cow-
ardly retreat behind the curtains of
the bay window Just before the scene
started.
The girl walked demurely Into the
room, followed by Aunt Polly.
“OH!" cried the latter, "my darling
Poodles— All alone In the big city—
did It miss It’s aunty?" She was fairly
In raptures over him when she remem-
bered the pretty girl who was the
means of his return to her.
"Where* was the darling?” she
asked.
"He was wandering forlornly abofct
near the—a—near Forty-second street
—and—”
"You are a sweet, lovely girl to
bring him out to me so soon," bubbled
the old lady.
The girl smiled her demure, caress-
ing smile—the one that had won Jack
Orth’s heart as well as the great audi-
ences who watched her every move-
ment.
"1 think It would take a very heart-
less person indeed not to see what a
lovable dog he Is and to realize how
terribly you must have felt." She
squeezed the old lady's hand affection-
ately. "Why, I almost hate to give
him up, even to you—he was so sweet
all the way out and hardly made a
whimper."
There emanated from behind the
curtain a smothered laugh. The girl
turned and Jack Orth, looking through
a small aperture, saw an Impatient
frown flit across her smooth brow.
Was Jack going to spoil the beautiful-
ly progressing plot, she wondered.
Luckily Aunt Polly was busy hugging
Marie, who had entered at that mo-
ment. and was telling her to have
luncheon served.
"You see 1 am taking possession of
you,” said Aunt Polly, without ques-
tioning the girl’s desire In the matter.
"1 want you to stay a while with me.
What Is your name, dearie?”
“Sylvia—Sylvia Night,” fibbed the
girl, blushing slightly.
”Sylvla7 That’s the namo of that
awful stage person whom my hephew
—why? Where Is Jack—he must know
the glad news! Jack!” she called out.
"Yes, aunt!” He came from behind
the curtain and hid his uncontrollable
amusement by wild enthusiasm over
the return of Poodles.
Sylvia played her part well, having
cast but one glance at him from under
her long lashes. She realized that she
must carry the situation through force
of will. > ,
Aunt Pblly beamed; she drew the
hesitating Sylvia over toward Jack
Orth.
“Miss Night, this Is my nephew—Mr.
Orth. Jack, this la the sweet young
lady who brought back Poodles.” She
looked at Sylvia coaxlngly. “I want
you two to like each other." Then she
whispered in the girl’s ear, “He has
gone and mixed himself up with some
stago person, and I wish you could
make him forget her.” She bubbled
over with happiness and left the two
together.
"Tbu’re an angel,” said Jack, taking
the girl Into his arm a
“And you ere a very had leading
man.” The girt tilted her bend back

me. before I began to take Cardui, you
would not think I was the same per-
son," writes Mrs. Mamie Towe, of 102
W. Main St., this city.
“Six doctors failed to do me good,
and my friends thought I would die.
I could hardly get out bf bed or*walk

"At last an old lady advUed me to
take Cardui, and now l can go most

The secret of lasting health Is:
regularity.
If a clock does not tick regularly
and evenly, It Is out of order and Boon
wears out, or runs down. If all your
functions are not regular and natural,
you will soon wear out, and get old
and run down.
All ailing women need Cardui, aa a
gentle, refreshing tonic, and benefi-
cial, curative medicine, especially
adapted to tRelr peculiar aliments.
It is a ratable, vegetable remedy,
for most a^roomanly Ills.
This IsAM secret of the wonderful
success of Cardui during the past 50
years, in the relief and cure of ail-
ments peculiar to women.
It removes the cause and builds up
the strength.
Try Cardui.

Spreading the News.
Postmaster Fuller of Rockland, Me.,
was the sparkling wit at the postmas-
ters’ dinner. He announced with mock
solemnity that he had just received
word from his congressman that his
name had been sent in somewhere In
Washington .for reappointment in
recognition of his efficient service and
the votes he could swing.
“I have dashdfflho momentous news
of my triumph to distant Rockland to
my wife, and if I am acquainted with
the lady, as I believe that I am, the
glad tidings have ere now penetrated
to the most remote section of that
district,” was a sally that brought
down the house.
Her Laugh Broke.
She was a little fairy of seven, tflth
eyes like diamonds and balr like spun
gold, and she was romping with a half
dozen playmates.. Touching a fine
looking youngster on the shoulder,
she Challenged him .with, "You can't
catch me.” Off they started, she twist
Ing and dodging with the dexterity or
a half-back on a football team, and he
following her every movement in close
pursuit. The eucltement of the chase I
made her scream with laughter. The
little fugitive finally brough up
against a fence, breathless and pant |
Ing, and her pursuer, throwing his
arms about her, shouted: "Thqj’e, I've
caught you!” “Oh. yes,” gasped the
little fairy, “but It was ’cause niv
laugh broke and I couldn't run - any j
more.” __
- His Reason.
“How did you come to leave your |
wife in Paris?”
“She couldn’t decide whether she
wanted three yards and a half or four
yards, and I got tired of waiting.”

BABY’S SCALP CRUSTED
_
“Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and Itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cutlcura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cutlcura Soap, a
box of Cutlcura Ointment and one bot-
tle of Cutlcura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cutlcura Resolvent,
we used the Cutlcura Soap freely and
applied the Cutlcura Ointment. Then
she began to Improve rapidly and In
two weeks the Beale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. Rhe is
now sixteen years of age and a pic-
ture of health. Wo used the Cutl-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg-
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cutlcura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M.
