There Wat Nothing So Good for
Congeetion and Colds as Mustard
But the old-fashioned mustard
plaster burned and blistered. Get the
relief and help that mustard plasters
gave, without the plaster and without
the blister.
Musterole does it. It is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil of mus-
tard. Gently rub it in. See how quickly
the pain disappears.
Try Musterole for sore throat, bron-

pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil-

Salesman For Face Cream
Learnt a Lesson
New York City. Mr. H. R.
Moline writes;—“I was a salesman
of creams for healing pimples,
blemishes, etc., hut when my face
broke out with blotches, pimples
and blackheads, I tried one salve
after another with no results. I
found It us Impossible to sell skin
creams us u bald headed man finds

T would have to get at the cause—

THE
BURGLAR
BRIDEGROOM
By CALLY RYLAND
bv >q»..rt sum l’ub i’<> •
YTT ▼ UP!! his overcoat thrown
\ Y / oy»-r tils arm and his hat and
gloves In his hand "Bobby*
Tunstall stood waiting for
his bride. The room in which he ex-
ercised his patience was blazing with ■
electric lights which repeated them-
selves In myriad reflections In the
gorgeous display of gold, silver and
cut-glass gifts strewn about the apart-
ment In careless profusion. Bobby re-
volved slowly and looked nbout him,
"Whew !" he said, under hi* breath :
"A small fortune In themselves."
He looked up quickly as a step
Bounded In the hall outside, hut It
was only a maid, bringing In "Miss
Laura’s" hand hag to wait beside Ills
own, and he turned again to his sur-
vey of the costly wedding compli-
ments.
A magnificent necklace of penrla
nnd diamonds lay In an open ense be-
fore him. nnd he picked It up and
stnred af If.
"Not less than twenty thousand,"
he said, ami sighed.
It was long since he had held the
equivalent of such n sum In his hand.
Ills mind rapidly reviewed the past
few months. How distinctly he re-
membered the first evening .Tack
Tarleton had brought him to this very
room, to call upon Miss Bridges. How
long ago It seenipd. and yet how short
the time since he had realized thnt he
was desperately In love. How sicken-
ing the qualm of conscience when he
discovered that he was his old friend's
successful rival; how elated he had
been when the adored one promptly
accepted him.
Bobby was n generous soul, ns his
rapidly dwindling funds showed In the
radiant days tlint followed, and the
few crisply folded hills which he was
now fingering nervously in his pocket
were the sole means for a wedding
Journey. **' •
"Nqjt a very brilliant prospect for a
lavish honeymoon." he murmured, and
again Ills eye fell on the glittering
necklace.
Which of the Three Tricky Sluters
suddenly extinguished the electric
lights! Only for two seconds, hut
when they flashed tip again with a
little sizzle of renewed energy Rohhv
found Ihe diamond necklace In his
hand—how. he could not tell.
A light step on the stair, nnd the
necklace slipped Into his pocket nnd
Its ense Into a convenient wastehas-
ket, while Rohhv turned with n smile
to greet his bride, who stood blushing
in the doorway.
Following n prevalent fad. Mr. nnd
Mrs. Bobby Tunstall refused to di-
vulge to family or friends the plan
for their Wedding Journey, nnd so It
was not until they were discussing
their first dinner In their cozy little
home—one of the wedding presents—
that they were made acquainted with
the loss of the necklace.
Bobby turned white, ns Lnnrn’s sis-
ter, Agnes, told with dramatic effect
the tragic tale, nnd Laura said, giving
hi* hand a little surreptitious squeeze
under the table: "I really believe you
feel the loss more keenly than I do,
darling."
"I am sure I do," said Bobby,
All that evening the necklace hung
•bout his neck like the Ancient Mari-
ner’s albatross, and at night It was
securely tucked away Into his sponge
bag. for, he argued, thnt would be the
last place a burglar would ever think
of searching for valuables.
Although, through skillful manage-
ment, he had been able to bring the
necklace home without pledging a
pearl for the purpose which had Im-
pelled him to purloin It, his heart
sank at the futile devices of his brain
for returning It to Its rightful owner.
At first he thought of making a Joke
of the whole affair with his wife, hut
when he learned from Agnes the enor-
mous excitement the matter had cre-
ated. and was told that detectives
were at work on the ease, he gave up
that scheme. As for going to Mr.
Bridges, lie preferred to Imagine
rather than experience n father In-
law’s wrath- All night he was tor-
mented by dreadful dreams. In which
sponge hags played leading parts, and
a necklace of millstones hung about
Ills neck.
But the newspaper by his plate at
breakfast brought hint the first easy
moment he had known for weeks, for
In a prominent plnce he read this ad-
vertisement:
$:t.ono REWARD
The above reward will be paid,
nnd no questions asked, for the
return of the necklace taken on
the night of January 10. from the
residence of R. O. Bridges, to thnt
address, or to 50 Broadway.
"No questions asked!" The phrase
shone from the page rosy with the
light of hope. Laura was amazed at
the change In her husband’s ap|iear-
ance when she came tripping down to
breakfast.
"There, dearest!" she e claimed. **I
knew that tonic wns Just what you
needed. You look even Iwlter than
you did before our marriage."
"I have certainly found a wonderful
relief.4 said Bobby, solemnly.
Mr. Bridges sat In hla private ofltee,
Immersed In a pile of correspondence,
when the glased door opened sudden-
ly and hla son in law walked In with
• breesy "flood morning father."
"Have you heard about the neufe-
lM»r was alaMit th# first tiwtlut
i asked of the young man after the pro-
1 lliiiinury greetings,
"Ague* lias told us," was the an-
swer, *!tui >on are offering too large
a reward <1.250 will bring It."
Mr. Bridges swung around in his
swivel clmir In amazement.
“Wiiaf do you know about It?" be
said. "Wiiaf do you mean?"
“l'irst what I say." Tunstall coolly
replied. "It's a little secret but It’s
all lit the family. Write me a check
fo bearer for <t.250. and 1 guarantee
that the necklace shall he produced —
and save you $ 1.75<t!"
Still wondering, the broker com-
piled. hut with such an expression of
inquiry that, when Bobby hud pock-
eted the check, be proceeded. In a
graver manner than his father In-law
ever bad known him to assume, to
make fhe mutely demanded explana-
tion. having assured himself that the
door was securely closed.
“’I hough possessed of an ample In-
come." he said. “I have always spent
It as It enme—nnd not Infrequently
before It came. It was during such a
state of temporary lack of funds that
I was Introduced fo your household, I
assure you most sincerely that I had
no Idea at that time of Tarleton’s
feelings toward Laura, and certainly
had'no Intention of becoming his rival,
ami It was therefore without compunc-
tion that I accepted from hint a loan
sufficient to enable me to maintain a
proper appearance In the social circle
In which vbti move.”
A soft whistle wns the father In-
law's only comment.
"Well." continued Tunstall. "when
.Tack found that Laura preferred me
he turned rus'ty. dunned me for the
dehf. which now aggregates $1,250,
nnd even at my bachelor dinner hint-
ed that I might he served with n legal
process on iny honeymoon. That was
one reason for concealing nur where-
nhouts. and It was tlmt threat hang-
ing over me—together with an oppor-
tunity that fate Itself must have
cheated—thnt Induced me to take tem-
porary charge of ope of my wife's or-
naments, which T now feel much pleas-
ure In transferring to you. I need
hardly say flint, for the sake of the
reputation of the family and the feel-
ings of your daughter, It would he
well not to tell how you hilve recov-
ered It. especially to my wife."
"What is that about your wife?" In-
quired Laura, entering the office un-
announced.
"T was merely saving that you
would he delighted to know that your
father has recovered vour necklace,"
said Bobby, with great presence of
mind. *
"till! how lovely’" exclaimed Laura,
ns her husband held- It no, "You know
T scarcely got a good look at if on our
wedding day. But don’t go; Bobby."
she added, as he turned to leave. “1
came In to ask papa to turn tlie man-
agement of m.v affairs over to you—
Just wait while lie has the papers
made out."
“You might charge thnt $1,250 to
the dowry.” whispered Bobby to his
father-in-law,

Quldren Cry for
Iona Fitly Known as
“Island of Ghosts”
I«nn, the green ami grassy Island of
the Inner Hebrides. Is an Isle of
ghosts. It Is holy ground. Fifty-three
kings are hurled there—kings of Scot-
land, Norway. France and Ireland. It
was on this lone strip of moor nnd
beach, lying at the foot of the Ross of
Mull, that St. Columba landed In 503
nnd founded the monastery, the rulna
of which hear his name to this day,
says I’lerre Van Paassen. In the At-
lanta Constitution. That monastery
was destined to become the heart and
center of Celtic Christianity and a
place of pilgrimage to which people
came by long and painful ways from
all over Europe—coming thnt they
might die on Its holy ground. Their
hones are everywhere. Kings nnd
princes, chieftains of great Highland
clans, southern barons, and merchants
of wealth—they all came to this lone
Island of the Western sens to die. It
Is their ghosts who haunt Iona today,
their ghosts and the wraiths of the
monks who were slain when the Norse
sea-rovers sailed Into the Sound of
Iona, and sacked the holy places. That
Is why no man of ,Iona will, even to-
day, walk of nights by the Reillg Dl-
ran. But why nre the spirits restless?
The natives say It Is because of the
dark work done In the day of the
Reformation, when 300 of the sacred
crosses of Iona were torn ofT the
graves of the dead and CHst Into the
sea.
*Why They Take
Rev. Calvin C. Menry of New York,
who recently gave a quart of hla blood
to a sinking parishioner, Is opposed to
sensationalism In religion.
"Deliver me," he said at a Ilronx
luncheon, "from the new creeds that
spring up nowadays like mushrooms.
I was bidding a friend hon voyage
on the Cuiuird pier the other after*
noon, and I said to him by way of
a Joke:
“’Maybe you’ll bring a new creed
hack with yon. hut he careful If you
•In—you know how hard It Is to get

" ‘Oh,’ said my friend, 'fhere’d he

“Sometimes poor teeth are responsible. But the commonest
