A DOUBLE
TRIANGULAR
AFFAIR ,
h*.
By SARAH BAXTER
AFTER A
TRANSFUSION
OF BJLOOD
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
(Continued from fifth pane.)
Ned Trueadnle wus born wltb a fair
intellectual endowment, but tlfrre whs
one feature in bis makeup tbat kept
him constantly in hot water. As It is
the nature of a bird to pour forth
melody, so was it iu Ned's nature to
make lore.
Finally be received a note from Mias
Belle Sterena, a girl to whom be bad
told bis story and who, not knowing
of his idiosyncrasy, was preparing her
trousgeau. Haring beard of his at
tentions to another, in her missive she
Stated tbat she did not propose to be
so ignomlnlously treated. 8be scorn
ed to sue for breach of prfljpise, and
the only method left her of-punlshlug
him was to act Just as if il^e were a
msn^snd use a man's methods. She
was in some respects a new woman
and had lost her grandfather In a duel.
These facts taken together, she bad de
cided to give him his 1 choice between
keeping bis promise and giving her
satisfaction.
The moat natural thing for Ned to
do was to inform Miss Marian Jones,
the last girl to whom be bad given bis
heart, of the alternative that had been
offered him by her rival, with a request
tbat she show him a way out of the
dlfflcnlty. He sent Miss Jones the let
ter be had received from Miss Ste
vens, whereupon Miss Jones, who was
a militant suffragette, returned it with
an Indorsement written in a bold
band on the face of it to the effect
tbat if be did not keep faith with her
(Mlsa Jones) she, too, would demand
satisfaction under the code.
"The plot thickens,” remarked Ned
to himself, and, fearing to confide in
any more girls loot be gafttfppre.duels
on bis hands, be went straightway to
his friend Tom Aisop and laid the two
letters before him.
"There’s but one thing for you to do.
Ned: you must bluff ’em. Write a let
ter to each stating that you have been
unaccustomed to deal with women as
with men, but if she insists on being
so treated you have no option but to
grant her request.”
"What, fight two women!”
"It won’t come to that. When they
find that you're not to be trifled with
they’ll haul In their horns, and you'll
be free of both of them."
Ned was not so certain of thus gain
ing bis freedom and told bis friend so.
Tf you wish to make the matter
sure.” said Tom, "you. must follow the
matter up by really and seriously en
gaging yourself to a girl whom you
would like to marry, is there such a
"girl
“I don't know. I feel more at home
with Helen Swift than with any other
girl. 1 reckon I’ll settle on her.”
"Well, then, send word, aa 1 have told
yon, to Mias Stevens and Miss Joui-s
and propose to Miss Swift. When you
are really engaged these two will let
you alone.”
Ned wrote the notes ns advised and
the same evening proposed to Miss
Swift. To the latter he declnrt'd he
was in earnest, but confessed tbat he
was in trouble with other girls. The
young lady not only accepted him. but
promised to stand by him no matter
what the other girls might do.
The .next day Tom Aisop received an
carhfrl»fTeq»>est from. Ned to cojgg to
see ItTtt) On ''ffint'^TiTTviTI" Nisi do-
t-lared that he had received two formal
challenges to mortal combat. Wbat
should be do? Would Tom take the
matter up in his behalf? Tom said
that he would, and went immediately
to his own friend. Dick Thurston, laid
the matter before him and it was
agreed tbat Tom should act for Ned
in the case of Miss Stevens, while Dick
acted for him In the case of Miss
Jones.
The next thing Ned heard from Tom
was that a meeting had been arranged
with both Miss Stevens and Miss
Jones for the next morning at a se
cluded siait iu the country, the two
girls to draw lots as to which should
X have the tlrst crack at her recreant
lover. Ned was thrown into ft state
of consternation at this and endeavor
ed to induce his second to find some
way out of the mutter without blood
shed. Tom claimed that It was not In
his power to hnVe the affair called off
uul advised hi|n to consult with the
• lady he bad last proposed to and who
'dMtf prbmised to st&nd by blm. Ned
went at once to Miss Swift, who. after
consideration, agreed to go wltb blm
on the field and make an effort to
pacify the girls.
On the appointed morning Ned drove
to the home of this last and only true
ladylove, and the two arrived on the
ground In due time, finding the two
principals and Ned’s two aeconds there
ready fqr the fray. She stepped for-
ward addressed them as fotto war
'“Ijidlea, It seenta ridiculous to spill
blood on account of pne man when
there are three here, or one for each
.girl. I am sure these gentlemen. Mr.
Alaop and Mr. Thurston, cannot be In
sensible to the charms of Miss Stevens
and Miss Jones.’’
Instinctively each girl named looked
at the man the preferred. What could
the men do? Nothing but sorreuder
to the girl who had looked at him. and
Jthe affair, so far aa Nad and bis last
_and best girl was concerned,, wafc end .

John Runlet was a flue, sturdy fel
low until he fell ill with impoverish
ment of the blood. , He.. ijrat;** _flne
swimmer, skater, boxer, fencer, a
champion In tennis and one of the
best ball twirters In tbe country. But
when sickness overcame him be lost
hia strength and even his life was in
danger.
i Dra. Hammersly and Phipps, bis
physicians, consulted on his casp and
came to the conclusion that they bad
better resort to transfusion of blood.
It was-hiot easy to find one who was
willing to give up sufficient blood to
fill Jack Runlet’s veins, for they were
of no ordinary capacity, but several
persons volunteered to give each a por
tion, and-In this way the whole was
obtained. Runlet was a favorite
among women, and two of hia sweet
hearts responded to the coll, though
neither knew of the offer of the other.
Two men. Jack’s moat intimate friends,
offered to give their quantum of blood,
and after tbe four transfusions were
effected the patient bad In him tbe
blood drawn from two women and two
men.
Maud Scarborough and Delia Thorne
were the women and Ned Summerfleld
and George Smith the men. The op
erators would have preferred that tbe
blood should be transfused In a mixed
state. Tbla was because ^hey expect
ed tbe patient would be affected by the
peculiarities of the persons from whom
It came, and It would be better that
these traits should In a measure neu
trallse one another. But the operations
must be performed separately.
Runlet became well again, thanks to
these devoted friends, but not himself.

left In him—Indeed, be wa* four other-
persons in turn. When the blood of
one of tbe women was sent out from
bla heart be was much like tbat wo
man, and since only half of him was
man bo was manly but half of tbe
time.
When he regained his health and
strength the baseball season was open
Ing. and he resumed his position as
pitcher, but be was found to be unre
liable. At times he hud bis usual
strength, while at others he seemed to
have lost It. both of will and muscle.
He concealed his weakness as well as
be could, but it was unfortunate tbat
he did so. It would have been better
for him to retire. When a match game
of great Importance was being played
a frightened mouse ran across tbe din
mond. Doubtless the blood of one of
the women with which his arte:lea
were Alb-d was at the moment being
sent through his system, for he became
paralyzed with fear. Running to the
grand stand, be stood upon one of the
plank seats and could not be Induced
to come down.
Rut few of those present knew the
cause of Runlet’s cowardice, though
none could understand why a man
should be afraid of a mouse. At any
rate, the game was broken up. for Run
let. covered by shame, left the field.
The nest day he went to tils doctors to
learn what was the matter with him.
They looked at each other knowingly,
but thought it best that he should not
be enlightened. So to get rid of him
they told him he needed rest.
— The-Trext' time nqiortjsnce
camv-off Runlet took Ids place among
the spectators Instead of In the box.
He had doubtless been under the Influ
ence of the. blood lie had received from
one of his women contributors, for he
had noddy all that day been acting ef
feminately. He had been very partic
ular about his clothes, putting on a
particolored scarf with a diamond
stickpin iu It. and had purloined all his
sister’s rings, which he put on his Au
gers. He went to the baseball match
With a lady's fau In his hand and while
waiting for the game to begin alter
nately fanned himself and sniffed at a
bunch of violets pinned to his shirt
Isisom.
Not a man of his old chums would
speak to him. They remembered bis
desertion of his post at a former game,
and now to see him sitting bedizened
wltb jewelry, swinging a fan and
snuffing at flowers excited their full
contempt. As for the women specta
tors. they were very much amused at
his actions.
Runlet's club bad not found a pitcher
to take bis place, it lost steadily,
and by the end of the fifth inning all
hope of winning the game left them.
It is a disputed point what caused a
sudden throwing off of Runlet's ef-
femiuacy. The doctors who transfus
ed tbe blood Into him contend tbat a
quantum of woman's blood, which had
been thrown through the heart, sud
denly gave place to that t>f a toan
Be this as it may. Jock Runlet, be
dizened as he was, vaulted tbe rail
that separated him from tbe field,
jumped down into the diamond and
demanded the'ball. A abont arose,
wltb cries of ’Try him again!” “Give
it to him!" and tbe like. Some one
tossed the ball to blm. and by a suc
cession of remarkable curves be put
out every one who attempted to han
dle tbe bat from then to tbe end of
tbe ninth inning, winning tbe game
handsomely.

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my honsework. After taking three bottles
ofjQttdui, i began Jo feel like a new woman. 1 soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill

a trial I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, wom-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman-
Jy. trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
