Gay and Jaded Paris has a new sen-
sation.
Wearied of great crimes and tan-
gled political plots, the gossips of the
French capital are busy with the mys-
tery concerning the identity of the
Man in the Mask.
Handsome and apparently wealthy,
the natural inference is to set him
down as a notoriety seeker, but this
la not enough for Paris.
Who is he, and why does he fear the
recognition of the world?
No one has yet been able to satisfy
the Parisians on either of these points.
Hia First Appearance.
The Man in the Mask appeared first,
about two months ago. Tall, slender,
and graceful, garbed in the most mod- j
ish of evening clothes, he appeared
The Man in the Mask.
In the fashionable Maison Doree, in
the Boulevard des Italiens. At first
glance there seemed nothing strange
In his appearance, but on closer in-
spection it was seen that drawn tight-
ly across the upper part of his face,
and fitting the shape of his features,
revealing, yet concealing them, was a
silken or eel skin mask.
From the r.ear-by tables it could be
seen that he was disguised, but from
any greater distance the mask was not
noticeable.
Some smiled, thinking he had
dropped in on his way to a masked
ball, and but little attention was paid
to him. A detective who noticed him
gave him a little thought, then dis-
missed any suspicions he might have
had.
The man dined well, handed the
waiter a liberal fee, strolled out into
the boulevard, and walked away.
The next appearance of the mask
was at the Comedie, where he was In
one of the premiere loges. The fact
that he was masked attracted consider-
able comment ai&ng those near
enough to detect the half transparent
figment drawn across the handsome
face. It attracted so much attention
that one of the house detectives ap-
proached his seat and spoke to nim.
The man made a slight gesture of an-
noyance and dissent, and continued to
watch the performance.
1 Sworn Never to Unmask.
» The little scene was witnessed by
Scores, and the next day the mystery
|of the man in the mask began to take
(shape He appeared that day walk-
ing on the Boulevard Poissonniere late
tin the evening, and later he appeared
In the Cafe de Paris, behind the
iOpera.
Really, it was there that he became
a mystery. A crowd of merrymakers,
noticing the mask, called to him, and
without hesitation he joined them,
■eating himself at the table with them
and drinking wine. His speech and
manner indicated high breeding and
refined manners. If he knew any of
the party, he concealed the fact, and
when they, after some time, spoke Jest-
ingly of the mask, he appeared slight-
ly annoyed.
“Take it cff, let us see your face,”
remarked one.
“I have sworn never again to un-
imaskbe replied, quietly.
That remark, the only one so far as
fa known that he ever has condescend-
ed to make concerning the mask, made
.him in a moment cne of the most in-
teresting features of Paris. The re-
jmark was repeated everywhere, and
|one of the Journals printed something
jabout him. j
All Paris Talks cf Him.
From that evening he was famous. '
{Everyone in Paris, that is, all who !
frequent the boulevards, the theater?, |
music halls, or restaurants, talked ot i
'him and wandered who he was and '
•why he wore the mask. He wenL
everywhere openly and without seek-
ing anything in particular. He evi-
dently loves art, for frequently hu
afternon strolls are through the gal-
leries. Always he is plenteously sup-
plied with money—vet no one ever has
seen him in a bank.
Effort after effort was made by cu-
rious ones to trace him to his place of
residence. The very freedom with
which he entered apartment buildings,
hotels, and other public places protect-
ed him from the shadows. Apparently
totally unconscious of the fact that
he was being followed, he always dis-
appeared suddenly from the view of
the person who was striving to trace
him—and was seen no more until the
next day.
There was just one clew which for
a time promised to reveal to the cu-
rious ones something tangible regard-
ing him—that was the fact that he gen-
erally appeared to the public gaze
coming from the Rue de l’Echelle into
the Rue de Rivoli, a short distance
from the Palais Royal and the Tuil-
eries. Once he was seen to turn from
the Rue Saint Honore into the Rue
de l’Echelle—a short half block from
the place he usually appears in the
Rivoli. But beyond that he never has
been traced.
Some declare that he slips on the
mask while walking along the street,
and that, when he wants to disappear
and elude pursuers, all he has to do
is to take off the mask and walk past
them unconcernedly.
They declare their belief that his
statement that he never would re-
move the mask was a mere pretense.
Greater Mystery Than Ever.
A short time ago three young men,
sitting with a party of actresses in a
boulevard cafe, drinking wine, saw
the Man in the Mask stroll out and
the earth—leaving the officer and the
three prisoners standing dumb with
astonishment.
The roisterers were released on pay-
ment of a nominal fine, and then the
one who attempted to tear the mask
from the face of the mystery told to
his friends of the cafes and concert
halls the strangest thing of all. He de-
clared that the mask was no mask—
but part of the face of the man. He
vowed that either some thin material
had been pasted to the skin, or that
the mask was a strip of skin itself, col-
ored with some pigment.
Effort after effort has been made
since then to solve the mystery, but
with no success. The mystery of the
Man in the Mask continues to stir
the jaded sensations of Paris.
SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.
IN CONSTANT AGONY.
Deduction by Analogy.
“Mamma, I’se got a stomache ache,”
said Nellie Bly, six years old.
“That’s because you’ve been with-
out lunch. It's because your stomach
is empty. You would feel better if you
had something in it.”
That afternoon the pastor called,
and, in the course of conversation re-
marked that he had been suffering all
day with a very severe headache.
“That is because it is empty,” said
Nellie. “You’d feel better if you had
something in it.”—American Specta-

At a certain Scottish dinner it was
found that every one had contributed
to the evening’s entertainment but a

they pledged themselves in a cup of
wine to follow him and unmask him.
He walked down the Boulevard
Beaumarchais, closely followed by the
trio of young men. He turned to the
left Into the Rue St. Claude, with the
men pressing close behind him. The
man seemed absolutely ignorant of the
fact that he was being shadowed, and
walked leisurely, playing with a glove
that he carried in his hand.
About that time a sergeant of police,
in citizen’s clothes, observed the odd
procession, and, noticing the suspicious
actions of the three young men, fell
into the shadowing game to see what
was happening.
Directly in front of the Church of St.
Denis du Saint Sacrement, in the Rue
de Turenne, the three men sprang for-
ward and grappled with the Man in
the Mask. Two pinioned his arms be-
hind him while the other, with a quick
motion, reached for the mask to tear
it from the man’s face. Twice his
fingers clutched at the mask, then, just
as the sergeant sprang forward, the
man fell back as if frightened, and
stood staring in astonishment at the
masked one.
The man in the mask smiled slightly.
The other assailants, when the
sergeant grabbed them* released the
man and all three of the young roi-
sterers were placed under arrest.

As usual, tne victim of the assault

to the doctor’s modesty. “Very well,”
asserted the doctor, “if you can stand
it I will sing.” Long before he had
finished his audience was uneasy.
There was a painful silence as the doc-
tor sat down, broken at length by the
voice of a braw Scot at the end of the
table. “Mon,” he exclaimed, “your

SLEEP CURE IS A NEW FAD.

the subject to the top again, now that
another miner has been rescued at the
aceae of the mining disaster in France,
end found in better condition than the
men rescued the week before. He sup- )
posed that he had only been a week
lost in the mine, and the inference is,
•of course, that he must have slept
away days of his imprisonment; and
It gives one furiously to think of the
sleep cure. Some have the gift of sleep,
wnd others haven't, that is quite un-
mistakable; the secret of more than
one notable instance of beautiful
mothers, grandmothers. I mean, is
acknowledged to be due directly to the
power of sleep, to take a quiet little
nap at any time of the day, when a
busy afternoon or long evening is be- j
fore them. It really seems, then, one

And now we want to know if it can
be acquired, like other gifts, this one
most precious of all, this beauty treat-
ment, which costs but the time in
which to take it. Making your mind
a vacuum, repelling every thought and
emotion is one recipe, the initiated and
the enthusiasts declare, and imagin-
ing that one is dead, and that nothing
matters, another—rather a nasty one
methinks, not calculated to have a
cheering effect on the patient.
The theory has been proposed and
propounded that each person is al-
lotted by destiny so many hours of ac-
tive life, so many thousands or hun-
dreds of thousands of hours to live,
these, of course, above and beyond the
hours allotted to sleep, and that just
as one may spend a big balance at the
bank in a short time, so the man or
woman who turns night into day, and
robs himself or herself of sleep, spends
his balance at the bank of life soon,
and dies early. It's an odd theory, but
it looks as If there ought to be some-
thing in it. And, according to this

in time 30 gallons or more will be ob-
tained.

FACE ALL BROKEN OUT.
Troubled Almost a Year—Complexion
Now Perfect and Skin Soft,
White and Velvety.
“I had been troubled with a break-
ing out on my face and arms for al-
most a year and had the services of
several physicians, but they didn’t
seem to do any good. Some time ago
one of my friends recommended Cuti-
cura to me. I secured some, and after
using it several months I was com-
pletely cured. I can highly recom-
mend Cuticura Soap as being the
very best complexion Soap made. It
creates a perfect complexion, leaving
the skin soft, white and velvety. I
now use Cuticura Soap all the time
and recommend its use to my friends.

face, when her elderly aunt entered.
Then, as she looked upon the kind old
face, a feeling rushed upon her that
she must share her wonderful news
with somebody—she must let someone
into the secret which till then had
been the sole possession of herself and
Harold. She sprang up and flung her
arms about her aunt’s neck.
“Oh, auntie,” she cried impulsively,
“you do love me, don’t you? Kiss me,
auntie, and tell me you do—kiss me!”
But only an alarming gurgle came
from the old lady for a moment. Then
she said, gasping indignantly:
“Kiss you. if you ain’t careful I’ll
shake the life out of you. You very
nearly made me swallow my teeth!”

would be to be able to sleep right

George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time, in the midst of a
campaign, Mr. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at a little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye State. When he
reached the one hotel the town boast-
ed he walked up to the register and
wrote his name. The proprietor-head-
porter-steward-headwaiter-depot - run-
ner was behind the desk in his shirt
sleeves, his hat on the back of his
head, and a cigar stump held between
his teeth. When the visitor had put
down his John Hancock, the factotum
turned the register around, read with-
out the flicker of an eyelid the name
there written, wrote “10” beside it
with a lead pencil, and said;
“You kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an’ back down the
hall clean to th’ end. Yer room’s right
on ,th’ left hand side of th’ hall, in th’
corner—number 10.”
With considerable astonishment and
not a little injured dignity Ohio’s chief
executive pointed to his iyime, smiled
faintly, and said:
“I am George Hoadly.”
“Yep; I notice,” said the rustic
without turning a hair. “An’ yer
room’s right there at th’ end of th’
hall—number 10. Can’t miss it”
With more hauteur, and almost
quivering with outraged importance,
the guest said impressively:
“I am George Hoadly, governor of
the state of Ohio!”
Turning, then, with a look of ex-
asperated impatience on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:
“Well, what d’ye expect me t’ do—
kiss ye?”—Judge.
What Is Eczema?
Eczema is the itching disease that
nearly distracts one. Who is there
that ever had this terrible disease that
would not give anything he possessed
to be cured of it? Thousands of peo-

ently of eczema and other skin diseases
by Imperial Remedy.
For 25 years Imperial Remedy has
been used in nearly every city, village
and hamlet in the South for the cure
of skin diseases.
