THE FACE I
REMEMBERED
By ROBERT CARLTON BROWN
(Copyright, by Daily Story i'ub. Co.)
“Another auto burglary," I mused to
myself as I unfolded the noon edition
of a New York paper.
I had entered the subway at Ninety
sixth street and, having plenty of
time, had taken a local train.
Picking out a double seat facing
forward I spread the paper out on my
knee and began reading about the
theft of another auto. For the past
month the police had been trying to
solve a series of clever automobile
thefts, but no clew had been obtained.
I read this latest case with interest.
It was so much the same as the oth
era that I could almost tell what
would come next, but nevertheless, it
held my attention. Possibly because
1 own an auto, and possibly for one
other reason thut I do not care to dis
close, as yet.
Their plan of operation was sim
ple, evidently, and that, doubtless, was
the reason why the thieves had not
been caught. In each case that I had
notic'd, the autos stolen were the
highest riced French cars. In each
case they had disappeared from the
street where they had been standing.
Usually the cars were stolen right out
of the center of .. mg lines of waiting
autos, in front of u > stores or amuse
ment places.
Well, I finished reding the article
and turned the paper ovc.r to read the
jokes on the back sheet.
In doing this, my gaze left tin pa
per for a moment and I stared va
cantly in front of me.
Suddenly 1 was thrilled, as though
by an electric shock.
There! Opposite me was the wom
an that had haunted my dreams for
months. Only once before had I

drunk in her beauty, but I remem
bered that occasion vividly, and I still
held her every feature in my memory.
Catching myself, 1 jerked up niv
arm and held the newspaper in front
of my face that she might not think
ine impudent in staring at her charms.
It was, however, with great difficulty
that 1 composed myself and quieted
my mind.
Doctors’

undoubtedly mean Scott’s
Emulsion.
It would be just as sensible
for them to prescribe Quinine
in its crude form as to pre
scribe Cod Liver Oil in its
natural state. In
Scott’s
Emulsion
the oil is emulsified and made
easy to take—easy to digest
and easy to be absorbed in to
the body—and is the most
natural and useful fatty food to
feed and nourish the wasted
body that is known in medicine
today.
Nothing can be found to take

From the opposite corner
watched her. She looked around tht
store, and then I saw her step ovei
to a man waiting on a bench. At hei
touch he rose and shook himself, a:
though he had been dozing while wait
ing for her. I noted that he wras t
chauffeur. He had on the regulatioi
leather cap and I saw his goggles pro
truding from an upper pocket.
She spoke to him and he immediate
ly went out to the street. There h<
entered a large touring car in whicl
was seated another driver. The mat
who was already in the car was i
short, dark fellow, the regular type o
rough mechanic, while the one whi
had come from the store was niucl
younger and had light sandy hair.
While the two drivers waited in th<
car 1 noticed that the lady made :
few purchases at the druggists’ ant

Almost before 1 knew she wai

I would have to give up following her
Then a taxicab dragged past, and witl
sudden Inspiration I hailed it and in
structed the mechanician to follow tiu
large touring car.
Through several busy blocks w<
kept track of the machine ahead, an<
then suddenly it came to a stop in
front of a hotel. Five or six auto:
were in line there and we drew up be
hind the c$r in which my lady sat.
As soon as they came to a stop sh>
got out and went into the hotel. 1
told my man to wait, for 1 thought sht
would return to her car soon.
But, a few minutes after she had
gone into the hotel, the lady’s machine
started off, with both drivers on the
front seat.
I couldn’t understand this move
and I sat puzzled as to which course
to pursue, for I wanted to find out
more about her. Finally I decided
that it would be better to follow the
auto and get my information from the
chauffeur instead of going into the
hotel and inquiring about her.
By the time I had made up my mint!
and given the order to the driver the
other machine was a block away.
We shortened the distance, how
ever, and were only half a block be
hind when they came to a sudden stoj
near a large dry goods store.
There they stayed but a moment
while the stout dark driver jumped
out and started slowly up the street.
Then the machine pulled on past
the long row^of autos waiting in fron
of the store. ' I was undecided whet!
er to follow the fair young man in th
! machine or get out and catch up wit
| the darker man.
Hurriedly making up my mind, 1 o
dered my driver to wait and I starte
off slowly after the man, who ha
| gotten out of the auto we had bee
| following.
He walked around the block and
strolled along behind him. trying t
get up nerve enough to talk to him.
Then stopped at the corner an
began walking slowly along the lie
! of waiting autos. His interest in th
i machines was rather an idle one an
i a glance was all that he bestowed o
most of them.
Suddenly, however, he paused i
■ front of a big French car.
Just then the handsome woma

Quite evidently she was in a hurr;

quick glance at me, seemed for a nu

With a gesture that surprised me b

it was the work of a second.
I smiled with satisfaction. 1 fiushe
with victory.
Stepping up to the car I doffed m
hat to the lady whose face I remen
bered and addressed her. Before
had opened my lips she shrank to th
further side of the seat and dropped
' fair hand, holding a handkerchie
over the outside door.
■ “Just a moment, Mrs. Le Mont,”
smiled. “You will pardon me, but
must arrest you.”
At the words she flung her hea
back and glared at me defiantly, a
though she were going to try to bin
it out and make me think I had bee
mistaken in her face. But, no,
knew it too well to be bothered wit

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diffi
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. Dr. Miles’ Heart Rem
edy Strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.
