•r Scientific Twins Subjects of Experiments Since Birth, Two Little Girls Prove Difference Between Home And Clinic Training “Scientific or not scientific, those twins are a pair of little scamps,” said. Mrs. Josephine Mc- Innis, of New York, with a smile as she watched the capers of her five-year-old identical daughters as they made things difficult for reporters seeking to interview them. The reporters were interested in recording any outstanding dif- ferences in character and intelli- gence of Flossie and Margie who have been the subject of scientific experiments since birth. Flossie, who is clinic trained, is the lead- er, according to Mrs. Mclnnis; but Margie, home trained, shows defi- nite superiority in some depart- ments. At 15 months, when Margie was only toddling, Flossieâ€"the scien- tific oneâ€"could roller skate, ride a bicycle and jump off tables and such without fear. Flossie now likes games with balls that require skill and she tries harder to learn things where Margie takes things easily and enjoys simple toys. Flossie is also the most aggressive of the pair, while Margie is more loving and willing to run errands.

He was the richest man in his state with power and influence enough to make himself candidate for Governor. With his death came hints of an unsavory private life, of wronged women and betrayed husbands and fath- ers who had reason to wish him dead. There was also a powerful secret political organization op- posed to him. . . . Mary Holmes, called “the goose woman” by newspaper reporters, lives nearest the scene of the crime on a small chicken farm where she ekes out a poor living and tries to find in drink the forgetfulness of past glories when she was Maria di Rheumatism JUST DO WHAT YOU SEE IN THESE PICTURES TO RELIEVE PAIN QUICKLY 1, Take 2 “Aspirin”’ Tablets with a full glass of water the moment you feel either a rheumatic or neuritic paiit coming on. 2.

Issue No. 44â€"’38 Nardi, world-renowned opera sing- er. . . » Gerald Holmes, a talented young artist, is hated and loved by his mother who is embittered because his birth caused the loss of her voice and wrecked her op- eratic career. He has been be- friended by the murdered Eth- ridge, and is engaged to another of Amos Ethridge’s proteges .... Hazel Woods, lovely and brilliant young actress, has been helped to success by Ethridge. She lives in a small cottage owned by Eth- ridge. . . . Jacob Riggs, eccentric old-time actor, now a doorman at the theatre where Hazel Woods plays, has appointed himself her guardian and lives in a room over her garage. CHAPTER XII Her love of the dramatic . made her wish that she had a real- ly sensational story to tell. It would be thrilling to take the stand and give testimony that would electrify the court, the whole country. There would be ;some fun in that andâ€" Her mind envisaged a new thought and she .considered it while feeding her poultry. When she had finished her work she walked up the road and spent a long while studying the scene of the tragedy and carefully explor- ing the ground. When she return- ed there was a deep frown of pre- occupation upon her face, but her eyes were bright and there was a purposeful set to her features. Later that day she assured her- self that some destiny must have shaped her thoughts, for Mr. Vo- gel, the new prosecutor, drove out. from town and interviewed her. With him he brought Westland’s chief of detectives, Lopez. For a while Vogel questioned Mrs. Holmes perfunctorily; then his bearing changed ; he became alert, attentive. “Why didn’t you make all this known before?” he inquired. “The police talked with you and so did the newspaper men.” “Yes,” the woman laughed harshly. “They talked with me; and then they went out of their way to make me ridiculous. The idiots! The swine! Why should 1 tell them anything? Come here, 1 want to - show you something.” . She led her callers out of her liv- ing room and into a squalid bed- chamber adjoining. The bed- clothes had been slept in repeated- ly and had not been made up; the room was indescribably dirty; its windows were unwashed. It was precisely the sort of den in which a woman like Mary Holmes would, sleep. Too bad she was not a credible witness, Vogel thought. If she were anything except what she was he could put some confi- dence in her, make use of her, butâ€" “Sit down.” Mrs. Holmes clear- ed two rickety chairs of their bur- dens of old clothes, dusty news- papers, and what not, then from a dark corner she dragged forth a rusty.trunk. The lid of this she flung back; it was partially filled with .old scrapbooks, programs, rail JOIN THE DICK TRACY SECRET SERVICE PATROL It’s Easy ! It’s Fun !

She rose with her arms full and dumped her burden upon the bed then thrust a huge volume in- to Vogel’s hands. “Run through that and then ask me why I tried to shoot that penny-a-liner! Those are clippings. Most of them are foreign, but you’ll find some in English.” Are youâ€"Maria di Nardi?” he in- quired. “I am. Or I was.” ; “Good Lord!” The prosecutor stared at Mrs. Holmes. Lopez looked over his shoulder and read the yellowed headlines. Together they examined the photographs on the bed and compared them with the huge slattern before them. The pictures were old ; those in street dress were quaintly out of date, but many were in opeiatic costumes which the men readily recognized. All showed a. young woman of magnificent physical proportions and considerable beau- ty. In the shapeless figure and the bloated face before them none of that beauty remained;- never- theless the likeness was recogniz- able. Vogel rose to his feet in genu- ine agitation. “This is astonish- ing! I knew of you, of course, al- though I never heard you sing. Iâ€"it’s incredible!” Be stared about at his surroundings. “Do the newspapers know who you are?” “Nobody knows who I am, ex- cept my son.” “You have a son?” Mrs. Holmes nodded. In a few' words she told her callers about Jerry, and from her tone as much as from her wqrds they drew pret- ty accurate conclusions as to the relations existing between her and her boy. For perhaps an hour Vogel and Lopez took turns questioning the woman, then they drove her hack to town with them. In Vogel’s office she repeated her story to a stenographer, read it in typewrit- ten form, then swore to it. Upsets Everything When, at last, she had been SHREDDED WHEAT MADE IN CANADA - OF CANADIAN WHEAT sent home, Lopez exclaimed. “Well! That’s the. biggest wal- lop I ever had. It upsets every- thing:” “Don’t you believe her?” “Sure! She must be telling the truth, but you’re going to have a hard job to make a jury believe her,” “We’ll have to check up, of course.” “That’ll be easy. But remem- ber, she’s ‘queer’. Everybody knows she’s drunk half the time. She’s a notorious character andâ€" wellâ€"she’ll prejudice herself.” “I’ll take care of that. I’ll see that she makes a good impression: I’m going to get her out of the pigsty, dress her up, and put her in a hotel and make her look like a human being. I’ll take her off the whisky, too, and make sure she doesn’t talk until I’m ready to have talk. This isn’t an. ordin- ary case, Chief; it’s a newspaper trial. When the time comes I’m going to explode something.” “Oh, it’ll be a big thing for you if you can get a conviction where our local people have failed to even start anything. But speaking of explosions, what about the. Woods girl? This kind of blows up our theory about her, doesn’t it?” “We’ll have to wait and see.” “Shall 1 show that ‘Thursday’ letter to the reporters? They’re after me every day to see it. They know about as much as we do.” “Show them nothing until I tell you to. Now then, • locate that automobile with one headlight-just as quickly as you can and bring me the name of the- man who drove it.” (To Be Continued) LuHa ' Ph<>nTfie- -Pz-fi s?’ Ji nieo decto Serves ,o®rfron, VOu^ fuej - . is jin â„¢ y«ur o'-., H*McoAne" S3AMCO /;5 corns HAMILTON BY-PRODUCT COKE.
