bullets in the guns of the firing squad, I guessed there would be trouble and followed you here !” he said to Don Caesar reproachfully, as tho he considered it a personal slight that t his old friend had not allowed himself to be killed according to plan. “Ah, well,” — and he brightened at the need for new intrigue, “Her Majesty is suspicious and has followed. Hark ! She comes now ! Quickly — on your knees before the king you two, and be receiving his blessing !” It was a touching scene that confronted the queen at the top of the stairs, the two young lovers, kneeling while Philip extended a gracious — albeit a somewhat shaky hand over their heads in blessing, and Salluste, the very personification of sentimental kind-heartedness, stood beaming close by. Her Majesty was so moved that she shed tears and kissed the bride. “It is so romantic!” said the Queen. “Quite like a play — a gypsy dancer marrying a Don ! But you are very beautiful, child — I shall have Velasquez paint you and you shall come with Don Caesar to live in the palace and be my maid in waiting. A gypsy’s life must be full of dangers but you will be safe in the court of Spain !” Philip glanced slyly at the sword which hung in its sheath at Don Caesar de Bazan’s side. His tone was dry, but it carried the ring of sincerity. “Yes,” agreed the King, “she will be safe — quite safe I am sure — in the court of Spain !” SAID A COURTESAN: By Margif.-Lee Runbeck If I gave you an emerald as large as the moon, (Laid at my feet one mad afternoon By a bronze Spanish lord with inscrutable eyes, And a whispersome past — and all that implies)— If I gave you my palace outside of Calais Where ninejeweled peacocks parade thru the day; Where vast formal rooms are blase with their fashions, And night dims the stage for luxurious passions If I gave you my sailing boat curved like a cloud, A key to strange seas and to romances proud, To islands festooned with gay poisonous flowers, Where you might forget for a hundred lost hours Would you give me your cottage and old friendly clocks, The prim curtained windows and doors without locks, Your neighbors and duties, whatever they are, And the elm at your gate that caresses a star? Teeth Like Pearls Don’t leave that film-coat on them Wherever dainty people meet, you see prettier teeth today. In old days most teeth were filmcoated. Now millions use a new-type tooth paste which fights film. Make this free test, if only for beauty’s sake. Ten days will show you what it means to you. Those cloudy coats Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. You can feel it. Much of it clings and stays under old-way methods. Soon that film discolors, then forms dingy coats. That’s how teeth lose luster. Film also causes most tooth troubles, and very few escape them. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. The new-day method Dental science has found two effective ways to daily fight that film. One acts to disintegrate the film at all stages of formation. The other removes it without harmful scouring. After many careful tests these methods were embodied in a new-type tooth paste. The name is Pepsodent. Leading dentists the world over began to advise it. Now careful people of some 50 nations employ it every day. And to millions of homes it is bringing a new dental situation. Other discoveries A way was also found to multiply the alkalinity of the saliva as well as its starch digestant. Those are Nature’s agents for neutralizing acid and digesting starch deposits. Pepsodent with every use gives them manifold effects. Thus, without harmful grit, Pepsodent is doing what grit could never do. It has brought a new conception of what clean teeth mean.
