THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVII. NO. 8. TOUCHING SCENE. Sought a Slave Companion—Rev. Dr. Spiller the Object of Attention—Soldiers' Home and Its Inmates. A pathetic story was related to us recently. It seems that Mr. Sam Dunn, who is an inmate of the Confederate Soldiers Home in this city, on a furlough decided to try to find some of the colored people, who were his former slaves or rather those of his parents. He went to Buckingham county near the Appomattox county line where he formerly lived and found that some of them were in Lynchburg. There was a little colored boy, named Dick and who was a favorite with Mr. Dunn's mother. Some one told him that Dick Dunn was in Newport News, Va. FOUND ONE IN LYNCHBURG He went there, but as Dick was known as Richard Spiller, he could not dind him. He returned to the Soldiers' Home, but not before he had found Nelson Dunn, now known as Nelson Spiller who is a cook in a hotel in Lynchburg. He wended his way into the kitchen and greeted his friend of other days. From him, he learned about Dick Spiller, who is no other than Rev. Richard Spiller, D. D. HEARD THE NEWS When Rev. Richard Spiller went to Buckingham on a visit, he was told that his master was looking for him. He came to Ricmond and he went up to Soldiers" Home last week. He could hardly recognize him. They clasped hands for some time, both were crying, both being overcome with emotion for it had been forty-six years since they met each other. He noted that his white playmate had an injured ankle and scarred hands. These were virtually identification marks. It was not long before the story spread throughout the home and other inmates gathered around, while Dick, the former slave boy told of the affection he had for the man who stood before him. A FAVORITE BOY. He was the favorite boy of Mr. Dunn's mother and as a little urchin had slept on the bed with her. He told of how Mr. Sam Dunn as a little boy had often taken things from the house to carry to his Negro play-mates. Rev. Dr. Spiller had carried fruit to his former companion and there and then pledged that as long as he had a crust of bread, he would divide it with this ex-Confederate with whom he had lived during days past and gone. He pledged there for more than two hours and then he left he was the cynosure of all eyes in that building where the horrors of war are ever before them, but where the love of the faithful black men, women and children will be remembered forever more. JEFFRIES WON'T GO TO UTAH Insists That Big Fight Will Have to Take Place in California. Lincoln, Nebr., Jan. 18.—James J. Jeffries said today, "There isn't even as much as an outside chance that I'll fight any place but in California. "Just tell Gov. Spry that he is doing me a favor when he says Johnson and I can't pull off our mill in Salt Lake or Utah. He won't need to get any militia after me, for I won't be there. California is my home State. That's the place where I am going to fight Johnson, and the governor can rest easy and keep his soldiers at home. This fight is going to draw a lot of people from all over the country, and, take it from me, California, the State where I live, is going to get the benefit. "I don't care whether or not Tex Rickard has said the things he is credited with in the newspapers about fighting in Salt Lake. Just put it down for keeps that I am going to fight Johnson in California and that I am goin to lick him." Both Ill. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Jackson are both ill with the gripe. Husband and wife lie side by side at 902 N. Seventh Street, stricken by this dreaded malady. They have been forced to close their place of business. The wife Dr. I. L. B. Nash, is in the city with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Brown. She will reside in Columbia, S. C., where her husband is now located. PUBLIC INSTALLATION A Large Crowd at Fifth Street Baptist Church—Knights of Pythias Loyal—Rain Did Not Deter Them. Grand Chancellor Mitchell Spoke. Despite the inclementy of the weather a large crowd or people assembled at the Fifth Street Baptist Church to be installed and to witness the exercises incident to such an installation. The committee of arrangements had done its best and the scene inside was one of surpassing loveliness and beauty. The electric lights from the arch over the rostrum never shone with more brilliancy. A BRILLIANT SCENE. The railing of the choir gallery and the lower part of the rostrum were decorated with the colors of the Order. On the right of the pulpit desk was a large portrait of John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor and Grand Worthy Counselor. There too were vases of fragrant flowers from the fair hands of the female members of the local committee of arrangements. The table on the raised platform below was similarly decorated. BAD WEATHER NO HINDRANCE District Deputy Grand Chancellor S. S. Baker presided, during the installation services when the Grand Chancellor vacated the chair and District Deputy Grand Worthy Counsellor Anna Taylor presided during the same service when the females were installed. No one would have presumed that the rain was falling on the outside, in view of the signs of contentment and good feeling existing on the inside. Religious services were conducted by Rev W. F. Graham, D. D. He wore the fez of the Improved Order of the Knights or Khorassan. THE DUTIES OF OFFICERS The actual work of installation was performed in about forty minutes. It was 9:52 when Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., spoke to the 550 officers who had been installed and to the visitors upon the duties of the officers of the Order of Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe. His practical remarks called forth much approval. Five hundred and fifty officers were installed PRAYER WAS OFFERED BY SIR O. M. STEWARD Out of the thirty-three lodges in this city, all of them filed their list of officers and all but three paid the installation fee. Out of forty-one courts in this city all but seven filed the list of officers and all but five paid the installation fee. The Grand Chancellor was much pleased with the showing. He complimented the members upon their promptness and faithfulness in responding to the call. The Committee of Arrangements deserves much credit for their admirable management. The members are Miss M. L. Chiles, Chairman, Mrs. Mildred Johnson, Mrs. Anna Taylor, Mrs. Lucy Cross, Sir S. S. Baker, Capt. John G. Smith, Capt. Willis Wyatt, Sir O. M. Steward. The benediction was announced by Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham.

MURDERED IN HER BED Pretty Governess Choked and Her Poughkeepsie, N. Y., January 13.—Sarah O. Breymour, aged 26 years, a pretty and cultured governess at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes Compton, Millbrook, Dutchess county, was found in her bed early this morning, strangled to death. Frank Schermerhorn, of the same age and who is employed as coachman on the Compton place, has been brought to this city charged with the murder. Late this afternoon he made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide, cutting his throat with a razor. About 3 o'clock this morning Mary Fennell, a maid in the Compton house, was awakened by a noise, and says, "I saw a man pass down the girder, the saw a man pass down the governess, and, not receiving any reply, entered Miss Breymer's room. The governess was found lying in bed, her face black and finger prints on her throat. Life was extinct CHILD UNHARMED IN ROOM. On a cot in the room was little Polly Compton, aged 3 years, unharmed. The maid quickly pressed an electric button, summoning the coachman, and when he arrived the sheriff and police of this city were notified. The officials spent the day at the Compton place, questioning the maids and servants and the coachman, Schermerhorn. They found that Miss Bremerm's hands had been tied, the big chest containing the silverware had been forced, and several of the rooms were in disorder, making it appear as if the tragedy had been part of a burglary. Chef of police Charles J. McCabe went to the coachman's house late this afternoon to question him further, and, not receiving any answer to his summons, went up into the coachman's bedroom. Investigation revealed Schermerhorn lying under the bed with his throat cut and blood dripping in a pool on the floor. NOTE PROTESTS INNOCENCE Schermerhorn was taken into custody his wound dressed. On the table in his room the chief found a note, which read: "My Dear Wife: I am not guilty. "FRANK." Schermerhorn was too weak to make much of a statement. He did say, however, that he stood watching under a window of the Compton mansion while Shitiro Chashi, the Japanese butler, committed the deed. This statement the people discredit. When Schermerhorn reached this city, after a 16-mile ride on a stretcher in a farmer's sleigh, he was taken to Vassar Hospital and put on the operating table. It was stained at the hospital tonight that he would live. About a hundred yards from the house was found a revolver, which belonged to Mr. Compton, and had been taken from a case in his room. Upon the white woodwork of the staircase were found finger marks, which it was thought might lead to the identity of the intruder. Similar marks were found on the door frames in the nursery and on the bed clothing. Mr. Compton reached the house at noon, but could give no facts which might lead to the finding of the burglar or the valuables. Mrs. Compton went to the country house of Oakley Thorne, where her daughter had been sent after the discovery of Miss Brymer's body. Mr. Compton said that he did not believe the work was that or anybody connected with the household, although he admitted it looked as though it had been timed by some one familiar with the fact that he was shaken. When at home Mr. and Mrs. Compton sleep on a balcony on the first floor, and directly overhead is the balcony, both of which are open to air, where the nurse and little Polly slept. PROTECTED BY HIS NERVE Failing to obtain an admission from the house servants, Chief of Police McCabe Walked down to Schermerhorn's house late this afternoon to have a talk with him. All day the coachman had been diverting suspicion from himself by his nerve. "Who do you think did it?" he asked several times of Chief McCabe. "I don't know," answered McCabe every time. Finally, the coachman assumed a manner of uneasiness. Then the chief heard that Miss Brymer had complained or advances by the coachman, and also that the latter had been drinking in the village last night. It was after learning these facts that McCabe went to Schermerhorn's house and found the coachman with his throat cut. Shermerhorn had been married several years, and his wife had been in Vassar Hospital for three weeks, ill of a fever. Chief McCabe is of the opinion that Shermerhorn blackened his face and hands, so that his victim would think he was a nigro. "That's where all the black marks on the woodwork can from," he said. "He quietly entered the house and unheard by the other servants who slept so far away that there was little danger, he went upairs to the veranda, where he choked the sleeping nurse into insensibility. SILVER HIDDEN OR JELTED "To throw off suspicion and further the evidence or burglary, he went to the dining room and removed the silver plate, either hiding it or melting it in the furnace. He took the revolver found in the yard and made the demonstration which awakened the servants in the other part of the house." The servants further corroborated this theory of the chief by telling how, when Schermerhorn came in, he looked in the silver chest first. Then he led the way to Miss Bryner's apartments. Miss Farrell, the cook, hurtly remembered that the coachman's face had black streaks upon it, which the chief explained by saying that the call for help came so quickly that he did not have time to wash thoroughly. Schermerhorn has since confessed his guilt. He tried to have the public believe that a negro committed the crime. OPENING OF THE NEW DRUG STORE Corner St. Peter and Baker Streets, Dr. W. H.

JOHNSON REAL FIGHTER Billy Brady Says He Is Hardest Man Jeffries Has Met. New York, January 13.—William A. Brady, who in his time has managed both Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries, gives it as his opinion that in Johnson, Jeffries will meet the toughest man of his career. He does not doubt Jeffries' ability to come back. In fact, he is confident that when he steps in the ring with Johnson he will be as good as he ever was, but he has a lofty opinion of the colored man's prowess as a fighter. He said: "The talk about Jeff not being able to come back and get into shape to fight Jack Johnson is ridiculous. Jeff has a better chance to 'come back' than Corbett did, and the latter surely 'came back' when he traveled 23 rounds with Jeffries at Coney Island three years after he was knocked stiff by Fitz at Carson City. "Eighteen months before Corbett met Jeffries he was pronounced 'all in' by the shrewdest judges of the fistic game in New York. Corbett had been running a thirst parlor in the Tenderloin for several years and going all the gaits. Not even his best friends thought he could 'come back', but he gave Jeff the fight of his life. "Now, if Corbett could get into condition there is no reason in the world why Jeffries, who never dissipated much, can't regain physical perfection. He's now at the age of a man in the prime of life, and I look for him to enter the ring with Johnson better than he ever was. "But he will have to be better than ever to beat Johnson. The big negro is the greatest fighter Jeffries ever faced. I have seen Johnson fight, and take it from me that he's there with everything. He has the best left hand of any big fellow the ring ever produced. "Don't let them 'guil' you with stuff about the negro having climbed to the front at the expense of little men. The little men he beat are pretty shifty fighters. I think Stanley Ketchel could have whipped Tom Sharkey in his best days, and you know that Sharkey went twenty-five rounds with Jeffries and gave the big fellow about all he could attend to. JOHNSON BETTER THAN JACKSON. "Johnson is a better man than Peter Jackson ever was, and the big Australian black had them all buff falcoed in his day. You also hear a lot of talk about Jeff having gals (Continued on Eighth Page) Tuckahoe District Teacher's Ass'n. Mr. Editor:— Just a word from our District Association. Since the organization of the Tuckahoe District Association, Henrico County, Va., for colored teachers, the pen has been silent; but the teachers have been on the alert striving to raise the educational standard to that excellence or which we all may be proud. The reports in general have been second to none, but the best in its history were given at the Westwood public school, Friday P. M., December 17, 1909. Just think! Every teacher in the district was present and nearly on time to render the part assigned her regard less of the distance. Miss Mildred Shelton's essay on "Why we should organize" was vivigoring from beginning to end. Miss Bessie Langhorn gave a most beautiful light on how to teach spelling. Miss Pearl Rowe's theme on manual training was second to none. Miss Amanda Brown's well sought out and well rendered subject on hygiene could not be bettered. The general out line given on all the subjects by Miss Mabel Harris was very inspiring. The presence of Mrs. Beulah Harris was very welcome. Hope she will come again. Our supervisor, Miss V. E. Randolph was present and gave us glowing and instructive remarks. After the close of the program, we all enjoyed a hot luncheon sent in from the "patrons of Westwood public school. Miss V. A. Taylor called the meeting to order and explained the importance of a district organization. Officers—Miss Virginia A. T. Taylor Pres., Miss Pearl B.

Located, Cor. 5th and Jackson Sts. # RICHMOND, VA. Weekly News Column. REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., Pastor Residence: 108 E. Leigh St., Richmond, Va J. HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va COME YET IT WILL In the long run all prophecy must and will be fulfilled. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this. The church is the most holy place on earth, and in which was deposited the ark of the covenant of the Lord. The church is now and must ever continue to be the vanguard of civilization. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth. More than 1900 years ago in this world a child was born and unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. When we look about and around us, we behold the purposes of our God ripening and unfolding every hour, the way seem strange, or mysterious at the first, in some instances; but Christ our Guide knows the way, and simplifies the mystery to the true and faithful who ask. The Fifth Street Baptist Church is now nearing its third decade, and is drawing new ideas and inspiration from the most Heavenly Charity, which contributes in all latitudes and climes to make christians feel their unity, and to open upon their vision the day of Brotherly Concord, in which they may march from conquer to conquest. This column dedicated to the Fifth Street Baptist Church weekly news, is intended, to an extent to be in a measure, so to speak, an aid do camp to Christianity in general, as well as the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Wondrous things are being done under the influence of the press; we have arrived at the conclusion that the press will aid much in bringing about that period of time which will be most pleasing and pleasant to the all-seeing eye of heaven. The day is certainly coming when every christian should devise means, strain the last nerve of his strength and do whatever in his power lies, to rescue the perishing and care for the dying. The Fifth Street Baptist Church, has heretofore done what it could in this respect: but now under the influence of christian charity, with new powers endured and old powers renewed, its desire has been intensified, and the battle cry is whosever will let him come and drink of the Fountain of Life, which never runs dry: accept Jesus as their Saviour they never will die. The Fifth Street Baptist Church feels that it is not only sharing with other churches in a common cause which brings races and nations closer and in closer touch with each other; but that the Wonderful Counsellor, the Almighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, has blessed and inspired it to its noblest efforts. When motion and force, as it were deposited the last sand of time for 1909, and the time keeper reversed the glass, when the gonmon showed 1910, the Fifth Street Baptist Church fell upon its knees in prayer and supplication to God, arming itself for the journey which stills before it: arising therefrom with renewed vigor: all departments and forces of the church have taken on new zeal. Peace reigns, while Faith, Hope and Charity are uplifted as an ensign of royalty. At no time in the history of the church has there been a more unique corps of officers all rallying and are armor-hearers to the Pastor, Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., counselling, aiding and marching under the melodious sound from the words, "Peace on Earth, Good will to Men." The attendance and membership of the church, are gradually, but steadily increasing, while love is making its indentation. Come yet it will the day decreed by fate.

This story throbs with the vital issues of today, of the complex life of the present, when a single act may make or break a man or a woman and when all the insidious forces that rain lives were never stronger A dissent attorney who is tempted by the offer of a huge bribe to evade his duty, a thoughtless and overambitious woman who values worldly glory above honesty and learns her mistake, a dissipated, spendthrift husband thrown into prison for murder because of evil associates; a scheming, intriguing political grafter who uses his iron grip on a great city for his personal profit—these are some of the characters portrayed in brilliant fashion. And towering above them, and, after all, the strongest force among them, is the influence of the tender love of a faithful wife who dares to hope and struggle through years of bitterest suffering, humiliation and privation. CHAPTER I Wherefore I looked at them the lovely maiden. That in the dance so sweetly sang? Faust Ah in the middle of it there sprang A red number five, the mouth sufficient peace. Of years the best years of her life for that matter as she of ton reflected in lonely moments Miriam was older and less trying to try to help her own satisfaction that her husband was to work than the man if you were married to him. You would be hard to take if you were so hard to find the man if you were might arrive at the desired location. It is not to be worried at that then eventually there came a day when the information was brought to her that even in the gay and urban fashionable world in which they loved people spoke of her being a woman were saying it that he was going a pace that was rapidly carrying him far beyond the horizon of anything like respect, going to the dogs in truth as well as her he may could take him there. Society's estimation I discuss in that direction were fairly possible. There he did not she would in the loss of a certain amount of consideration. And even the impossibilities of a highly imaginative temperature did not give her from fancy. Ing the expressive shrubs and of course his wife is to blame, which would be voted by more than one impeccable dame of her acquaintance, often as not superbly gallible souls whose eloquence bores in direct proportion to the world's lack of belief in the idiosyncrasy of their ego lords. But whatever were the opinions of the women there was to dispense on the part of the man to hold her in any way responsible for his behavior. Far from it. And in a favorite corner of an exclusive club, when the times of fair ladies mostly of the stage were banded about as fighting in young chillovers a couple of sisters of his father between ships of their boat over with ostensibly indulgence and excitement, give thanks to the gods for willing that their lives old time friend should not live to see the confirmation of his feather. And how well they reaied these forces? For not withstanding the very manner of the man who had had the opportunity that result of mortals a man blissfully content with his bit in life and one who seldom missed an opportunity to deplore the insatiable craze of the rich for more clothes for ever protecting that blandest common chalism base and artillery were the goals of the present day. It soon came out that there had been a scene between father and son. These two for many years had been the only members of the family and probably better than any one in the world that father had known the sons weakly hypersensitive to new information, vanity and inability to say no and he had pointed out to him the many disadvantages, dangers to one of his temperament, which he could see in such alliance. To the father's thinking the boy would have no home—only establishments, yachts, racing stables and motorcars—and he had contended that there were far more desirable things in life than the possession of these, from which it can usually be surmised that J. Lawrence Challoner, Br. was a man little in sympathy with the ideas of modern fashionable society All this was years ago. Parents on both sides had passed away, and yet things had turned out pretty much as the old man had dreaded. Indeed, matters had come to this pessay—how long this intolerant wife would continue to keep her eyes shut to her husband making docks and drakes of her fortune and why she 'd did it if we questions which interested all who knew this couple, but which Challenger apparently thought wholly unsees- entry to ask himself. An automobile Mrs. Challoner's automobile was largely instrumental in bringing matters to a climax. As trouble makers the machines risk high speed for seeing as if the arch迪希 himself were in them otherwise how account for the masterless influence that makes people lose command of them solves once they are in command of them that leads astray, as some one has said the great and the good as well as those of lesser clay? But be that as it may, in this particular instance the devil was not hurting in, tampering with the improvements and refinements of detail in the big red body of Mrs Challenger's mastodon model. No it was not with the machine that he was concerned with, but the man himself, befuddling whatever brains he had left and the devil it was, and no other that hindered Challenger to leave a certain establishment—about which we shall have something to say later in take the wheel from the Challenger and unblock on a sequential brake—up the avenue at an hour when the show of that fashional clothes are through the silken stumps of a pitfall falling over a win dow in a corner house facing the patrol is being not to be irrelevant. No, it came about that the com-mputer of the passing throng made by the women taking afternoon tea in Mrs. Janes's drawing room were interrupted in a manner quite embarassing. Look, Miriam! Shilky Bloodgood was saying to her hostess apropos of a woman passing by whom they both knew. Did you ever seen anything more attractive than that gown? The other spotted her appreciation and again the double Miss Bloodgood written on. "And do look at the Health girls in these hats!" What frights? But whatever were her thoughts on the subject Mr. Mitron's colleague did not answer for orally at that moment her attention was attracted by something strongly familiar in an unusual pose and incident booking of a newborn which was causing a wave of apprehension to sweep down the long line of vehicles. And a moment later she was writing the turning of an automobile lining over their allotted sites that drivers were swerving their horses into closer relations with the curb that hardly had those at infeld a position of comparative safety than there flashed by them and fetched up to front of Mrs. Challoner's house, a machine which a distinctions them is dislaced taking man but them is easily facing with utter disdain, and of the right of way. Riding up quickly Shirley Hoodgood began to speak, "Thank you so much Mr. Mitron." Her one thought was to see what she wisely interpried as an unconcerned scene between husband and wife. But though there was a mist before her, she a nursing in her car, not a music of Mriam Thalloner's face moved. Since my dear you're not going! What. So soon? I contend though they were, there could be no mistaking the tone of sincerity in Ms. Thalloner's words as she withdrew from with an affectionate movement. In need for the lowest fraction of a second it almost succeeded in convincing Shilas that the distressing incident of the attack had escaped her. At a cry it signaled the doubt whether the woman before her had even linked to the stories in circulation concerning the doings of her husband. But, gratifying as was the thought of the wife's possible importance it by no means bequeathed to Shilas's part and somewhat confessedly, but affectionate she kissed her hostess goodbye. "With dear Miriam but I must Your tea is perfectly delicious though If only I had time" Miriam stopped abruptly. Her endeavor to conceal her anxieties to be gone was making her uncertain of her words. "Once tea like one a friend, my door should be of the best" Miriam returned with a sweet smile. Miriam a smile and unnourished touched Shirley deeply. The inclination to offer words of comfort was strong in this tall rainy girl, whose every movement was as graceful as it was impulsive. Flow sweet, how they would be, as thought. If Miriam would only give a hint that they would be unwilling. On teaching the hall below Shirley was able to see through the open door Challenger ascending swiftly, but uncertainly, the graystone steps. With a quick movement she drew momentarily to one side while he began to stumble on the soft carpeted stairway. Left rather abruptly alone, Mrs. Challoner went back into the drawing room and, resting her arms on the mantel, bowed her head upon them and gave way to the misery of her reflections. It was not the first time, to be sure, that Lawrence had returned in this condition, but herebefore he had been gracious enough to have it occur at night, and she had cherished the belief that she was his only witness. Now there was an alley, connected with his homecoming that was still harder to tear—the sympathy which plended for recognition on the face of her-friend. Presently, lifting her head, she crossed the room and set herself, then, raising her hands, she let them drop desperately, along the arms of the chair while the unhindered tears overflowed. In this position she remained until the sound of footsteps warned her of her husband's approach, then a moment of struggle for self control. She left her seat for one behind the tea table. And it was in this questioned point of vantage, in the act of pouring herself out a cup of tea, that Challoner's gaze first routed upon his wife. "Well, Miriam, here he am, I've come here, you see!" he blurted out and added, "You're not overdemandment my door!" Miracher Challoner viced. Challoner came to the point at once. "Miriam, I must have some money!" it was not a request. It was a command Up to this time the young wife had not lifted her eyes from the totecap in her hand. She was a woman with brown eyes and very attractive brown hair, but upon the face that still should have held the freeness of youth deep lines were beginning to appear. Pretty she was in a way, though she had never been beautiful, and yet there was something that spelled beauty in the brown eyes which she now fixed upon him. "For three days you have been away Where have you been?" The necessity for saving something alone was responsible for the question "I don't know," he answered dully, half truthfully. "All I know is that I landed at traddlebaugh's." And, not ing the unsatisfaction on her face, he snapped "traddlebaugh's gambling room. Now you know" He rose excitedly stalked to a table and smote it with his elicited hand. I tell you I must have some money!" Miriam Challenger would not have been human if again bitter words had not come to her lips. But one quick glance at the puffy face, the red rimmed coat was sufficient to warn her of the danger of exciting his anger. I want I must have a thousand dollars. Here again the attitude was more of the highwayman than of the beginner. Challenger's dark eyes met those of the man. Later in much as I hurt me to refuse you, I feel that I must, jobs and things. It is for your own good. I can give you nothing more." Challenger was stunned. His wife had never looked at him like that. DARWIN "You're well, I am fortunate, my dear." "I you're not creepyattractive, my dear. There was something in the catch of her breath, too, as she cuded that meant he'd be away certain. But he took courage. Did she not know that he would not ask it. Women never could understand what woman had to have money. She didn't understand. When men had to have money they had to have it. And then a Noble, treasure-like impulse to be perfectly truthful took hold of him and his mind was warped. He need so desperate, that he came up nearly to blurting out the real reason why he needed the money. For an instant he actually thought that his wife would appreciate the reason an some of his male friends doubtless would. "I'll tell you how it is, Mirian!" he had begun and the suddenly stopped. What was he about to do? Was there not something sweet, something not exactly right in his telling Mirian about the other woman? And he ended by pleading. "Hurley Miriam, you're not going to refuse me come" "I am sorry Lawrence, but I must," she sobbed "The husband would not abandon his plan. Besides he had detected the sob. He moved toward her, holding out his arms as though to gather her into them. It was a charm that always worked with Miriam. But Challoner was doomed to disapointment. It was the last touch needed to complete her humiliation, and, waving him back, she cried: "Laurie, Laurie, anything but that!" There was a flood of tears behind her look of pain. "But I must! Cradllebaugh!" He came to a helpless pause. Mrs. Challoner slowly repeated the name: "Cradllebaugh! I wish you had never seen that man—that class of meal. Your money—my money—very likely has been going to them. Well, if you want money you will have to"—The tenion snapped, and she broke down completely. "A sign of 'weakening.'" thought Challoner and started, toward her. "No, no! Gof" she cried, drawing her benda up to her face. "He was still in the motorcar." As the challenger threw, in the clutch some instinct told Challoner to look back. He had a sense of impression that he had a wu- the door to the house. My mother, who was ill with cancer, had died and I spent the last few days, and I looked again these three times. Then, Yet, if his sonse had then perfectly normal his would have known, that it was her face that he had seen. But the dates had postponed of letting him know that, with his deprivation, his wife's resolution had gone and that she had come to the door to breech him to come back, for even then they were cunningly splining the web which was to enclose him about. CHAPTER II. RADLEBAUGH'S - Qradlebaugh's house of a thousand chances, rearing its four stories of brownstones, spreading itself out liberally on the north side of one of the side streets which is fast being given over to fashionable clubs and restaurants—is a thoroughly up to date establishment. In appointments the house is luxurious and gorgeous and is so closely shuttered that not a ray of light from outside is permitted to penetrate. In addition, play there are accommodations for parties wishing to indulge in quiet, games among themselves. Meals are served at all hours, snapper being the specialty of the house, and, notwithstanding that no charge whatever is made for them, the culinary and service are beyond reach. It was to this establishment, then, that Challoner directed a cabby to take him after hours of unsuccessful attempts to borrow money from his friends. And finally in desperation he had offered to sell the Mastodon. But the dealers knew his wife owned the handsome car and on Challoner disguised "ordering his chauffeur home a dealer more daring than the others had said to him with familiarity, "Get your wife's toll of sale. Challoner, we'll buy it then all right." A spark of anger immediately lit up halloner's eyes. Resentment was deep down in his inmost soul but his brain had been absturbed for days, his sensibilities blunted, and indignities fell from him like the proper water from a duck's back. Nevertheless, overindulgence had not grossed him. He was still good looking and had an air about him few men had. When ever he wanted money he had not forgotten that fact. It had always counted with Miriam until now. It counted still with Miss Letty Love of the Friely There had been moments, it is true, when rushing madly about town for funds, that he had felt it would surely have been better for him if he had never gone to cradlebough's, but then like a flash would come the thought that if he had not gone to Cradlebough's he would never have known it. Now and by no means he had arrived at where he could have witnessed it. With the thought of Leigh's face there came another indispassibly connected with it Was Colonel Hargraves slowly undermining ousting him out of her affections? Not without reason he argued that Colonel Hargraves had plenty of money and the man with money was going to win out in the graces of the Friary actress. Before the main street door the date of his arrival one whose name was straight and who followed his nose into the whited sepulchre called Cradlebough's For fully half an hour Chiltonner stood a tilt the buffet every now and then un-tendily tilting the decanter away he held to himself "I'll try blim blim by my side." He called a serenit and asked "Where is Penhman?" "Euro sir" Challoner ascended swiftly to the second door. Halfway down the corridor he met Pemmican head card dealer of Cradlehaughs, a man with a pasty face, a low brown and slimy eyes, a man who knew his business. Who ever controlled the gambling house had chosen him wisely. "Pemmican, I want some money about and Challoner broke off abruptly. Institutively Pemmican knew that the game was up with Challoner. Moreover he saw that the man was very drunk. He walked away quickly saying "I'm, sorry, sir. It's against the rules "What off!" replied Challoner Penniman had reached the end of the hull, leaving the other to gather what he could of his excuses. Aggrated, Challenger recused his position at the buffet. Suddenly he felt a touch on the arm. Turning, he found himself face to face with Penniman. "Why don't you try Colonel Hargraves?" whispered the latter. "What?" came from the clogged braid of Challoner. "Try Hargraves," the other went on. "He's been down to Gravesend for two days, and he's back." Penniman of the low brow spread out his palms and said pointedly. "He pulled out ten thousand on Flora McQueen at Gravesend, that's all." "What? Challoner began to understand." Penniman nodded. "Sure thing—$10,000." Blowy Challoner refilled his glaze. For a moment there was silence, then Penniman repeated initializing: "Ten thousand dollars—not a cent loss!" Challoner thought for a moment. "Was Colonel Hargreaves down there alone?" His voice was thick, bores. Penniman looked long and quizzically into Challoner's eyes. "He was not!" The gambler moved away. Challoner followed him and said grimly: "Look here, Pommican. If Hagrawas comes in tell him to wait for me." An anatomical smile played about the corner of Pommican's mouth. "Tea, he said simply, and, nodding, went his way." Left alone, Challenger found himself a prey to all the black bands of eggs, jealousy and desire for revenge. For a time everything was blighted out from his vision except the face of Lotry Love and Jade, ace of Culminar Graves. "This small world" the mastered, to himself "is much too small format and Culminar Graves." With that there loomed up out of the mists of his mind the brilliantly lit and orate entrance of a certain apartment house a short distance away, and a few minutes later, obedient to his subjec tious will, his foot carried him forward, and evidently leading to the gurdea, challenging not the first man of social promenance that could directly trace the beginning of his life as an outcast to passing through that door. "Hiram Edgar Love"—so read a faded yellow card on the door panel of stit 10 in the Dreilacourt, an apartment hotel in a section of the city long popular with a class that has been well termed the "fringe of society." The name was written in ancient india in copperplate perfection by the careful, cleanly, genteel Englishman that Hiram Edgar Love had been—Hiram Edgar Love, who long ago had been told to rest in a quiet Surrey churchyard touches distant, though his name still did youman service, for it spit respectability. It covered a multi-faceted life, marching on, for was it not the shade of Hiram Edgar Love that had rented the Love suit in the Dreilacourt, his shade that paid the rent, his pipe and his slippers that lay near the fireplace for the world to see. Hiram Edgar Love the myth, the constantly expected but never coming master of the house? Before the entrance of this suit Challenger came to a halt. "I wonder if she's alone," he mused as, with something like the palpitating deference of a stranger, he pressed the button underneath the faded card and waited to learn his fate at the hands of the one woman in all the world for him. Nor was it by any means the first time that he had asked himself that question. All the way through the streets it had been in his mind every moment and so absorbed was he with the thought that he failed to see the initiative and the determination it acknowledged his advent as he proceeded to carry upward his human freight. Leaving the car at the desired landing he directed his steps to the extreme end of the corridor. If he there's he assured himself, pressing the button "I'll know what to do, all right." "It if were not for Inrgraves"—He broke off abruptly for the door had opened with unexpected suddenness. A trim little mud stood before him. "Your mistress - is she at home?" Miss Love is not at home air" Challenger was not so sure about that in a trice he was past her going through room after room until he had covered the entire apartment, and she had barely recovered from the shock that his strange behavior had given her when he was back again in the small, square hall lying her susp clusively "Miss Love is not in, air," she told him, just as if he did not already know it. "But you know where she went?" "Inked air I do not," she replied, and her eyes were as steady as the lips that said "She should be with her father, air" Challenger raged inwardly. He thought he detected a glom of mockery in her eyes. I want you to tell me where Larry is," he said in a tone that told plainly that such lies were not for him "You might try Atlantic city air" she suggested blainly. "It's quite posi- tible that they went there At this Challenger looked ugly, and solving her roughly by the arm, he led her to her mistress beould where, she had been, that stood in a corner he exclaimed "Who put him there?" For answer the girl shrugged her shoulders. She made no attempt to disguise herself from his grasp merely watched Challenger as his gaze rested agonously on a plain gold frame in which was an inconventional half length photograph of Colonel Richard Hargraves. Even on paper Hargraves' lazy eyes seemed to insult and taintalize him, and an insane desire to crush, batter and destroy this counterfeit presentment came over him. For an instant he had a vague sensation of suffocation than忍 touching, and, releasing the girl his hand sought his throat. It encountered a scarfpin a trifle that his wife had given him long ago. Tearing it quickly from his scarf, he extended it toward the maid. "That may fetch the truth from her, he said to himself and about," "Tell me where Letty is, and—" the girl was reaching for the jewel, but he held it from her—"no, tell me first, he added hoarsely, toying with the pin. "Well then if you must know, sir," she stammered, "she went to Graves-end the races, sir." Thrusting his face into hers and polishing with the pin to the portrait, Challenger cried "Then she is with him!" The girl was silent. She was figuring the value of the pin. It was worth $50, she decided, and looking up, admitted the truth. The pin fell into her grasp. When Challoner spoke again his voice was calm and steady "Bit down" He motioned to a seat, and he took one opposite "We'll wait until they come back." For minutes that seemed hours they eat facing each other, Challoner dog-god, but quiescent, the girl with a growing unrest upon her. At last a buzzer sounded. "Stay where you are!" Challoner commanded as the girl made a movement to go. Again the buzzer sounded. "This she a key?" he whispered. "Yes." she answered, matching his tone. The singing of keys in the outer hall, followed by the clink of metal in the lock, reached their cars. Then came the closing of the door, the swish of skirts, the odor of violet, and then Dotty Rose, in all her pink and white skirts, the odor of violet, and finally in the doorway. At the sight of the man and the girl, staring those like two chirpies she bore into daughter—a long pool of laughter that was her stock in trade and which ran the gamut of her deft contralto voices. "Inconstant, naughty Lawrence!" she A "Who put him there?" exclaimed and polishing her tiny glove-dinger at him "Perhaps I interrupt." And now turning to the girl, "Patricia, I didn't know you could be so interesting." "The maid gassed with relief as she left the room" "Well why don't the rest of you come in?" Challenger growled Letty Love opened her blue eyes wide eyes that could look the innocence of a child or the wisdom of the ages and feigned not to understand. And then as if his meaning had dawned upon her she said with a good natured smile. "Oh! Why I am alone" "It is a good thing you are" be told her pointedly. "Silky boy! How ridiculous you are!" she returned lightly as she tossed her wound. Challenger went over to the photograph, picked it up and, wheeling round said threateningly. "Did you put him in that frame?" "I did" she answered sweetly "I'm very domestic you know" and she smiled one of her most bewildering smiles "I always arrange these little things myself" "And what did you do with mine?" Letty looked dutiful. She touched a button, and to the maid who entered she said with mock anxiety "What did you do with the half tone of this gentleman that I gave it?" "It's in my room, madam" "With the other notables?" And Lotty Love lifted her eyebrows. "Pristine's room is quite a picture gallery' she went on grays "You may investigate it if you like" Challenger's lips emitted "You" They closed on a gasp of rage and impotent admiration. Had he dared he would have gone on his knees to her then and then taken her in his arms and kissed her, but the woman a indulgence appalled him, but loved he gritted his teeth, his mails into the palms of his hand. Then, for the first time it dawned on him that she had worn for Hargraves the gown that he challengers had selected for her a gown white limmaeate simple, which followed religiously the lines of the superb figure that left nothing to be desired of Lotty Love, with her jet black hair that gave no sign of fastenings with her blue eyes and dark eye brows "What's the matter with you, Lotty It is because my money has given out" he哭ed This started the woman into car nostalgia. Pointing to the door she declared, with an injured air. "No man can talk to me of money in this house!" Challenger's face was a study but he did not move. "Especially when it's all gone!" he answered, searching her contenance. Never until now had he realized the monumental stupendous power of money. Now that he had none and the ear of Juggerman was slowly crushing him he could understand that he belonged in the ditch with the matred, the fame, the dying. There was no necessity for a reply from Letty. The woman's face revealed the contempt with which she regarded him. The fruit was devoured. Of what value was the rind? You'd better go," she said superciliously. There is no need of coming any more. CHAPTER III In a sort of date Challenger was shambling toward the door when the telephone hell rang. Instantly it roused all the devilly and cunning that had oozed from him the moment before. Belting the receiver, he thrust it silently against his ear "Hello!" began the voice at the other end Challenger did not answer "Is that you, Letty?" the voice went on. Still Challenger did not answer. Then, as the woman stepped forward, he handed the receiver to her, at the same time placing his left hand over the mouthpiece, and said: "It's Hargraves. Toll him to come up, will you?" "She shook her head. Again the voice at the other end of the wiro sounded, but she could not answer, for The thickness of Challoner's hand lay between her and communication. The suspense was becoming unbearable--getting on her nerves. There was nothing to do but to comply with his wish, and upon her eyes suddenly he be released the piece, standing on guard the while she obeyed him. Then Challoner drove her- literally drove her- into a far corner of the room. "Now let him come! Well see, he exclaimed, holding a revolver in his right hand, and as he stood there watching her as a tiger does it thanks it was with a certain sense of grate Beating that he moved, written across her face, the altogether new sensation of fear, terror and therefore respect for him. "And he rejoiced in the knowledge that the hand, that could no longer count, not thankless to her, nor sign death, well hand that she had died, this hand, that Larry Love resilient this hand, as she stood there cowed, trembling, listening, watching the door. Suddenly there flashed through her mind a way out of the situation, and, smiling, she said lightly: "Oh, pahaw, Lawrence, the heavy is not your lins! Connel Suppose we have something to drink." And, without waiting for him to answer, she crossed the room and pressed the button there. Somewhat sheepish Challenger slipped the revolver into his pocket and dropped into a chair, while she ordered the maid to fetch some Bengal—a cordial, a distilled delight that had come down to her from a period so remote that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. In his merry lifetime Hiram Edgar Love had possessed gallons of it it had come to him in the light from the mysterious east, in the teeth of the revenue gun. Lette took her place here, she sat and probed the silver topped cut glass decanter was in her hand. Challoner drank—drank. He forgot Hargraves, forgot everything but the face of Lotty Love, a kiss that he wanted, but that somehow he could not get, an utterance in a thick voice, a momentary hand to hand struggle not with Hargraves, but with her then somehow she eluded him, and he was left alone—alone in the darkness that the Bengal had cast upon him. But in all this there was no Hargraves. A few hours later when he awoke he was still sitting at the table, but he was alone. He rose hastily, even steadily, and accorded the other. There was no one there. He looked for the Bengal, but that, too, had disappeared. All of a sudden the jewels that were on her dressing table jewels that he had given her caught his attention and for the moment the temptation was strong to take them for the monkey that was in them. But even his dull wits soon recognized the folly of such a proceeding, since it was for her that he needed the money and somewhat reluctantly he put them back in their case muttering to himself as he left the house. Lotty must believe in me. Things are bound soon to come any way." So she went to Cradlehaugh's wandering about looking for Penni can. Plainly he saw him coming out of one of the rooms and halled him with "Hargraves showed up yet?" The unwholesome looking factum shock his head. At the same time he noted that *Challenger* was in a differ ent mood than when he had talked with him earlier in the evening. Pem mikan wondered as he turned away, but then it was not given to him to know that *Challenger*'s experience that he had had strengthened a desperate purpose. True that the law that had been Challengers --- his by rights, as he told himself—and been rooted away from him, for he was credited that Hargraves' absence from a telltough's meant that he was with Lotry Love. But little by little the agency of Joylouw was becoming a plausible sensation, a passion that deserved him. He would wait months if necessary for Hargraves. A day rolled around. Night again at telltough's, and Challoner still at his post of observation waiting. It was past midnight when Colonel Hargraves finally appeared Challoner summoning all the sanctity of manner that he possessed called out: "Colonel Hargraves!" Hargreaves turned, and, seeing Chaloner, a self congratulatory smile broke over his large, round face as he answered "Why hello challenger?" The momentary gleam of triumph did not escape the other, and it required a supreme effort to force back the blood that was rushing to his temple "I want a word with you, colonel!" And with a wave of the hand, "Room A-will that suit you?" Colonel Hargreaves hesitated for a moment. He shrugged his shoulders. Finally he said "Oh very well!" Pompeian followed with decanters. Possibly he realized that the air was charged with electricity. In any event Pompeian was in charge of Oracle. Pompeian was in charge of Pompeian to see and to know. : There was a table in Room A, with chairs about the table and a stand against the wall. There were also two large, heavy leather lounging chairs with arms. Pennmean placed his burden upon the stand against the wall and then went softly out. When each had seated himself at the table Challoner got down to business. "Hargraves," he began with sinister familiarity, "you have $10,000 in your pocket, I believe." Colonel Hargraves repressed a movement of impatience with difficulty. He nodded and unconsciously took the attitude of the counterfeit present in the apartment of Lotty Love. "Ten thousand dollars," repated Challoner, with provoking coolness, and added somewhat omnivously, "And I'm broke!" Challoner rose, walked over to the table, half filled two glasses and, placing them on the table, feasted far over it, declaring: "And yet, Colonel Hargraves, you and I are going to sit in a $10,000 game tonight!" Chalioner dribed his glass. His example, however, was not followed by the colonel: Instead, tiffing back his head, he said with an air of contempt: "Indeed! What with?" "With your ten thousand!" It was well said. Chalioner's cool, passionless voice gave to the declaration the character of inalibility. Colobol Matgraves rose. He threw into his glance all his knowledge of Chalioner's past. You must take me for a fool! lie SATURDAY... JAN. 22, 1900. burst out and started for the door. But he had gone only a few steps when he fell Challoner's clutch. Turning, he felt the power of Challoner's eyes, and presently under their compelling influence he found himself once more taking his seat. He made no attempt to analyse his sensations, but he realized that Challoner had made a new impression. Challoner had become a man not to be disregarded—a man of strength. "My proposition is a perfectly fair one," went on Challoner. "You put up ten thousand cash"— "And then—go on"— Challoner lifted his arm and pointed silently in the direction of the Drell- court. Incredulity shone in the eyes of Hargraves. His scorn found vent in an attempt at levity. "Rather like putting up something that doesn't belong to you, eh, Challoner?" "It looks that away, Hargraves," and suddenly thrusting himself forward, "but I can make it uncommonly dis- agreeable for the other claimant. You don't know me—I'm an uncertain quantity—and women are blamed querc. If I win I keep the ten thousand and my chances." "And if you don't win!" a bit breathlessly "If you win." went on Challoner, "you keep your ten thousand and I'll quit without a murmur." In the pause Hargraves thought hard. Never in his life had he thought harder. The more he studied Challoner the better he liked the prophelation. The moment was freight with something new and significant. In more ways than one he feared Challoner, for he was by no means certain of his own place in the woman's affections. And then in his mind there was one certainty Hargraves knew that the game was already his, knew that Challoner, steady though he seemed, was unquestionably drunk. Never was victory more certain than at the present time. "I win," at last he said, with great earnestness, "you will sweat to leave me—you will leave us alone." Challenger nodded. "It's a go," said Hargraves and pressed a button. With the same sense of responsibility upon him, Penmanian responded and on Challenger's order he went out and returned with ten new pecks of cards. Cold hands" announced Challenger five hundred a threem. Hargraves pulled forth his缸 of bills and placed it on the table. Penmanian left the room and closed the door. Pemilican the door across the table, and a new, strango expression crossed his features that Hargraves did not, could not, understand Then they started in to play Twenty minutes later Pemilican rushed pellmil into Room A There was a row on between the men who occupied Room A "You've lost, I tell you" one of the men examined The other laughed bolsteredly "If I've lost so have you" he answered What followed happened in an instant and before Penniman had been in Room A thirty seconds, for suddenly one of the men there had whipped from his cocket pocket a weapon that A Then came a jalap, a report glinted in the white light, as suddenly he had taken alm, and then came a flash, a report, a cloud of smoke. Presently one of the men crossed the room and sank into a chair in a dased sort of fashion, his head lolling across the upholstered arm, while the other glanced about him for an instant, looked at Pemmican, looked at the fig- yes lying on the chair and then started suddenly toward the door. Three minutes later Pemmican switched off the lights and plunged the room in darkness. "A louse over a lady," he murmured brightly—"a row over a lady and a game of cards." A 24-25 oclock that morning, Officer Regeon of the night squad, patrolling a duty lighted thorughfare in the rear of Dumblebaugh, "numbled over an oliver lying in deep shadow. "A dead man—shot to death!" He, rapped wildly with his night stick, and, pending the arrival of assistance, he stepped once more and fumbled in the pockets of the dead man. Presently from the breast pocket of the cost he drew forth a yellow pligskin wallet, and upon its corner in glaring gold that oven in the dim light glittered garishly appeared—the letters "R. H." In this wise the body of Colonel Richard Harrawea, man about town, was found lying in the gloom at 2 o'clock morning. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Colonel John Sneed's Conversations on Domestic Problems Copyright, 1909, by C. S. Yost. II.—The Disillusionment of Matrimony. ON his way downtown the other morning Colonel Sneed stopped at his daughter's house to deliver a lemon pie recipe intrusted to him with some misgivings by Mrs. Sneed. The front door was njar, and, assuming the prerogative of a father, he entered without ringing the bell. Young Mrs. Rollins was not expecting a visitor at that hour. Her attire was decidedly negligent. She had evidently slipped into the first thing that came handy when she arose and had deferred until a later and more convenient season most of the essentials of a woman's toilet. It is unnecessary to go into details. "Good morning," honey," said the colonel as he bent down for the affectionate salutation, and then as his eye took in her deficiencies he exclaimed. "Why, child, what's the matter? Not sick am you." "Oh no, pani." replied his daughter, with a laugh. "I'm all right. But you shouldn't call on a lady so early, daddy, dear I haven't dressed yet." "Ubuh; I see." he assented. "Makes an almighty lot of difference, don't it?

You know I'm without a servant just now, but if I had one I don't see how I could dress for breakfast. Besides, papa, all women go the same way in the morning." "Yes, honey, I know the argument, but have you ever had your photograph taken in that morpin costume?" "Wry, no, papa. Of course not." "And if you had," went on the colonel, "would you want Bill to put it in a silver frame and sit it up on his desk where he could see it all day?" "The very idea: I'd like to catch him making a show of me that way." "Well, little girl, that's about what he does in fact. He carries a photograph of you all the time. It isn't on his desk, where other people can see it. It's fixed in a golden frame in his mind, and every once in a while through the day it slips around in front of his mind's eyes, and he takes a long look at it. It isn't always the same picture he sees. Most of the time it's you as you would like to be, seen, fixed up your prettiest, but sometimes it's you as he saw you last, as you looked when he left you in the mornin'.

Every girl wants to look her best when her bea'n comin', around, and that's Fight, that's nature. Didn't you rig up in the nicest clothes your pa'n money could buy for you when Bill was done' his courtin'. Didn't you prance around before a lookin' glass for an hour at a time tryin' to get everything just so and look your prettiest for him? Or course you did. And he's still carryin' some of those pictures around in his head, and once in awhile he gets them out and wonders why there's such a difference. "There isn't any real difference, honey. It's just appearances. You haven't lost any good looks since you married. You're just as pretty and as sweet and as good as you were then—maybe a little more so. When you're all fixed up in the evening' I have to admit that Mrs. William Jackson Rollins don't play secondiddle to Miss Sailor Snood. You're all right then, little girl; you're all right now. But appearances have just as much to do with keepin' a man as they have with gettin' him, and the morun' appearance has more influence than the evening', for it stays longer; it goes downtown and spends the day with him. "Now, I'm not sayin', my dear, that a woman ought to rig up in her best Moon Goddess THE UNMISTFUL KIMONO. clothes before breakfast and go through all the funny business of a reception toilet. I don't mean that—not by a whole heap. That would be no more right than for Bill to go down to work in a full dress room. There's a time for all things, as Shakespeare or Solomon remarked some time back, but I don't know of any proper time, honey, for dissolute kimonos, untied shoes and unkempt hair. These wrapper things the women have got to wearin' nowadays ought to be prohibited by law. If that would do any good. They were designed. I reckon, for the hours of luxurious ease and for lounging in' around in a bondage. Maybe they ain't so bad. But they wasn't cut out for workin' garbs. They're as much out of place in the kitchen as a vet gown. Yet it's got so that half the women in this country fall out of bed every mornin' into more or less soiled and bedraggled kimonon. I think I be willful to see a war with Japan just to get even with her for this kimonon habit. It's a lazy dress, and I tell you, honey, it's downright demoralizin'—that's what it is. It's easy to get on it makes a woman careless about everything else. Instead of bein' neat and trim as she ought to be in the mornin' whether she'doin' her work or overseerin' it, she gets to lookin' little girl. It's the influence of the garb. And I'd be willin' to bet a horse against a second hand burrow," and here the colonel pounded on the arm of his chair with his fist. "that kim ono has had a good deal to do with what they call the unstrontial unrest. A man goes off downtown leavin' his wife lookin' like she'd just escap ed from a fire sale, the first thing he puts his eyes on at his office is a stenograph in a clean shirt waist. If you think he A STENOGAPHER IN A OLEAN SHORT WAIST. don't notice the difference you're badly mistaken, my dear. Maybe he don't make eyes at the typewriter girl, may be his love is so strong it don't affect his feelings the least bit, but all the same he notices it. And I would" take the risk, honey. But—my, my"—the colonel was looking at his watch" I can't stay here all day preachin' to you. I've got to get down to the office. So goodly, little girl, and—say, I'll be over this evenin' to see how you look." It Pays to Do Right. I've noticed—and I don't sleep except when I go to bed—I've noticed that the people who come nearest to beln' happy in this world are the ones who come nearest to doin' right. To do right all the time, to do the square thing by your friends and your enemies, by everybody as well as by yourself, is a pretty hard proposition, and there's mighty few—I doubt if there's any—that succeed entirely. But it's been my experience that it pays to try, and the dividends seem to be exactly, in proportion to the success. We've all lookin' for happiness. We've got a good many different ideas about what it is, but whatever it is we want it, and if we've got hoss sense we want the brand that'll last the longest an' keep the best. That brand is especially prepared and regressed for those who do right, or as near right as they can. Nobody else can get even a small of it. And there no institution or agency that'll help a man to do right like the church. It's got the right of way on the straightaway track. It's got the road all surveyed and charmed. There's lots of' people in the church that we don't like, and there's lots' people in the church, no doubt, who don't like us. But take it all round the fact remains that the church people are the best people, not only in the spiritual but in the material sense. Don't forget that—Colleen John Sneed.

Mr. Beno's earlier years were spent in the turmoil of frontier life in Arizona, where he was for some time deputy sheriff and lieutenant. His efforts in enforcing the Chinese, Exclusion Ant on the Mexican border have been highly commended by the Washington authorities, and recognized for his service of $5,000 on his head, which stands to day. Of late years he has held a highly responsible position with one of the largest states, the United States, and as superintendent of its secret service has established an enviable record of success in running down bank burglaries. These stories are combined to form a picture of the scenes of which are held in Arizona and New Mexico near the Mexican border.

I did not make his acquaintance officially at that time and our meeting was short and uneventful, brought about as it was by a mutual friend and lasting for only a few moments Fordham had dropped into town with one of the boys from the Great Galt mine, T was while acting as United States marshal at Tucson, Artz, that I first met Mr Wylie Fordham I did not make his acquaintance officially at that time and our meeting was short and uneventful, brought about as it was by a mutual friend and lasting for only a few moments Fordham had dropped into town with one of the boys from the Great Galt mine, where he was working, and was introduced to me by his comrade whom I had known for several months --- From the beginning of things I did not take to Fordham. In the first place he had Greaser blood in his veins, his mother having been a native of Mexico, and I never cared much for the products of that particular cross strain. Not that I have anything against mexicans in general, but merely prefer their room to their company. The feeling is not an uncommon one among Americans residing near the border and has frequently manifested itself in a display of hardware and impromptu fireworks when some of the white men, overloaded with ardent and animal spirits, have happened to clash with their darker-skinned brothron. But Fordham, although a half breed, was tolerated if not admired by his working mates, probably because he was not only ready to fight when occasion demanded it, but could put up a very fair article of scrap into the bargain. He was a tall fellow, well knit, broad-shouldered and as active as a cat, had been a cow puncher in his time, and carried the reputation of a man who could shoot accurately and wasn't adverse to unilming his artillery on slight provocation These were handy qualities to possess in Arizona, especially at the time I speak of when conditiona of life in the territory were much rougher than at present. But here Fordham's good points may be said to have ended. For the rest, he was of a quarrelsome disposition and, although not 30 years of age, was said to have chalked up a pretty black record behind him. What the exact facts of his early history were I never learned. There were hints of an ugly affair in which he was said to be concerned when employed as a cowboy in Wyoming, with a rancher's daughter as one of the central figures of the drama. The gossips averred that Fordham ran away with and later deserted the girl, who afterwards committed suicide, and her father, following the faithless lover to avenge her death, was drowned while fording a river. Suspicion were not wanting to the effect that Fordham and the injured parent had engaged in a hand-to-hand struggle on the banks of the stream which resulted in the death of the older man. But there was no positive evidence as to this and although Fordham was arrested he managed to prove an alibi and obtained his freedom. Souh was the tale, vague, and for the most part bolstered up by the mutterings of Dame Runor, that followed Fordham into Arizona. But in our part of the world, whilst men of unknown antecedents drifted from all parts of the compass, it was not considered elitique to inquire too closely into a neighbor's private affairs. The past concerned nobody but yourself, or the officers of the law, supposing them to have cause for following your trail, and the present was what a man built his reputation on. Therefore, Fordham was received without important questions at the Great Galt mining, where he did his work well and kept his mouth shut regarding his past. To a great extent I believe in early impressions and can say truthfully that I have soldom been deceived in my first estimates of chance acquaintances. Perhaps long contact with the criminal classes may have tended to make me unduly suspicious, but even with this handicap I have generally found it safe to trust my intuitions. I say that I disliked Fordham from the start, and that without knowing of his Wyoming-experiences which "did not hear until some time after our first encounter at Tucson. Therefore, I was not altogether surprised when a few months later an event occurred which seemed to vindicate my judgment of that gentleman's character. it happened in this way. The Great Glalt camp was divided into two rival clubs, consisting of six members each between whom a good-natured rivalry existed. One aggregation was devoted to poker-playing and the other to double pedro, and each maintained loyally the superiority of their respective games with an earnestness worthy of a better cause. An invitation had been extended to the entire crowd to be present at a "good time" to be given by the Greenook outfit on the other side of Blue mountain, and great preparations were being made for the approaching festival. Twelve bolled and starched shirts had been conveyed by the freighter from Phoenix to edern the many bosoms of the invited guests and all was joy until the question of suitable conveyances to the scene arose. Now the Great Gait boasted but two fitting vehicles—one a rusty: somewhat displaced buckboard, the other a bran new, freshly varnished mountain wagon recently purchased. The members of each party felt that the honor of their particular organization demanded that they should occupy the more stylish wagon, which was so equipped as to carry six people comforably. The decision being left to the superintendent, that sagacious gentleman ruled that lots should be drawn for the coveted prize. This was done and the Poker club, of which Fordham was a member, was declared loser. The Podro outfit exulted loudly and Sam Eustis, a young fellow who belonged to the latter aggregation, expressed his jubilation in terms that aroused the wrath of Wylie Fordham Eustis was a Chicagoan who had been in the camp long enough to have dispensed with the epithet of tenderfoot, and being a jovial, athletic youth, had established himself as a prime favorite with everybody in the camp except Fordham. The latter, indignant at Eustis's display of mirr, forced a quarrel upon him and a sharp fight between the pair followed. There was no gun play, for such methods of settling an argument were not looked upon with favor at the Great Gait, but a fistic combat ensued which furnished the onlookers with plenty of excitement. Eustis, although not as big a man as his opponent, was an amateur boxer of no mean skill, while Fordham was deficient in this respect. Moreover, it is probable that Anglo-Saxon grit as opposed to a mongrel strain had much to do with the outcome of the battle—which he is very thorough thrashing administered to Fordham, who declared he had enough at an early stage or the proceedings. This incident did not tend to improve the half breed's naturally moist temper, and his anger at the successes of Eustis' party in obtaining the new wagon become even more pronounced than before. After careful consideration he evolved a plot by means of which he hoped to deprive the Pedros of the advantage they had fairly won. Nearly a mile from the camp there was an old abandoned-20 foot shaft in which a few days before a "least load" had been located and taken over by the Grout Galt superb tendent. Having bribed the Mexican cook, Ramrez by name. Fordham arranged with that individual to have his brother relieve him of his duties on the night appointed for the Greencock celebration Ramrez was to sit quietly out of camp with the team and new wagon while the Pedros were at supper and drive to the old shaft where he would find Fordham and his five companions awaiting him. Thus the members of the Poker club would take possession of the vehicle and speed gallantly away to Greennocks, ariving there with tremendous effect and scoring a decided hit on their discomfited rivals It chanced, however, that Shorty Glen, one of Eustis's colleagues, overheard the conversation between the plotters, and burning with indignation hastened to lay the details of the intended treachery before his fellows. Therefore, when Ramroz, faithfully following out his instructions, reached the old shaft, no little suspected that Eustis had arrived before him and was hiding close at hand in a greasewood thicket. The cook halted his team, bitched up, and walked to the shaft where his employers lay in hiding. He did not call to them, but lowering himself over the edge disappeared from view. The instant he vanished Eustis sprang from his concealment and hastened to the pit's mouth. Leaning over he seized the head of the light ladder used for ascending and desclosing the shaft, and as soon as he was satisfied that the Mexican had cleared the lowest rung, draw it softly upward. It was a hard strain on his muscles, but he was equal to the occasion and in a few moments a 30-foot ladder lay at his foot on the ground. But before a third of its length had traveled up the shaft those below had not noticed the strange disappearance and a volley of hoarse exclamations rang musically upon Fustia's ears. He bent over the pits edge and halted them cheerfully. "Below there," he yelled. "It's only me, Sam Fustia. The rest of the Pedro's are about through supper now, I'm going back for them with the new wagon, and when we get to Greenocks I'll say you follows and another engagement and couldn't come. Hope you have a good time." A chorus of angry bats greeted this announcement and Fustia grinning happily, climbed upon the wagon and groove back to camp. It was about age 4 clock the following morning when the Pedro's returned it's boar. S. J. A VERY THOROUGH THRASHING WAS ADMINISTERED TO FORDHAM. would good from the Greensock船队 was processed in the old ship and reloaded the process. Being generous unconsequent they retrained from existing unpleasant over the deceased one, which in the interests of peace, was purchase fortune. With the exception of Wille Fordham, the members of the Polek club accepted the situation good honorously after the that, sting of their downfall had worn off. But Fordham appalled to view the entire proceeding as a fresh insult, especially contrived by Bustia, and his sulkiness manifested itself in such a disagreeable way that a few days later the Great Gulf superintendent relieved the camp of the disturbing element in its otherwise harmonious whole by discharging him. During the following week Eustis, whom I had known and liked, for over a year, paid me a visit at Tucson. He narrated the events which had led up to the election of Pordham from the camp and wound up by assorting that he, too, had resolved to try his fortune elsewhere. "It's like this, Reno," he said. "There's a girl in Chicago waiting for me and I must make money faster so that I can go back to her. Her name is Elisie Wallace and she's true blue and not a bit impatient, but I don't want both of us to grow gray haired before I make a strike. I’ve got hold of a claim that promises well. It looks good to me and if it‘s bans out right A VERY THOR BUGT to be able to say good by to Arizona in a little while." "Well, I hope you have good luck, Sam." I said "Sand and sage brush grow might monotonous in a fellow's eyes at times, especially when there's a pretty girl back among the white lights of a big town, watching for his return. But I want to caution you about one thing. Look out for that maverick, Wyllie Fordham. He's bad through and through and just the sort of chap that is likely to get even with you in the long run. If he crosses your trail again keep a sharp eye on him, and act quick if he makes a suspicious move." Eustis laughed "I'm not worrying about Fordham." he said "I guess he got all he wanted from me the last time we clashed." "Yes," I responded. "In a fair, stand up scrap. But he's the sort of bird that won't fight fair if he can land you any other way. This is Arizona, Sam; and more men die from 44 bullets than measles here. Fordham's half a Greaser and all the more dangerous because he's got some white blood in him. I know that type too well." "Oh; I be careful," smiled Eustis; "but I don't believe he'll over trouble me." Two months passed and Eustis was established on his new claim, which, with the enthusiasm of a youthful lover, he had named "The Elate." He was working hard, with small results but never falling hope. Then one day the news ranched me that he had been shot at and wounded by some unknown hand. The bullet stripped Sam in the back and the would-be murderer vanished as mysteriously as he came. Fortunately Eustis's wound, though painful and rendering him unconscious for the time being, was not excessively dangerous, and in the course of a few weeks he was well on the way to recovery. There were no witnesses to the shooting and the poses organized to hunt for the assailant met with no success in their search. Eustis, on recovering consciousness, had mentioned Fordham as the only individual he could think of as owing him a grudge, but if the wounded man's suspicions were correct, Will had covered up his tracks skillfully, nor nobody could be found who had seen him a week after he left the Great Galt mine. Talking the matter over, with muscly, he informed me that when he 'fell he had turned partly over on his side, and just before his lessons left him he sought a glimpse of a fall feature like appearing around the corner of the table, which he had just was so near than his big nose. "I're just his nose by now." "that I went down and out quickly, for I suppose if I had stirred again he would have deflated the with another shot. Being stones, he certainly had a fine chance at me." "He did." I agreed, and it might have been a lot worse. Sam. I don't suppose Fordham will be in a hurry to visit this section in a hurry again. If he does he'll be tempting fates and not likely to escape easily. On leaving Paris, I could not help wishing that Fordham would be rash enough to venture up to the scene of his attempted crime and give the law a chance to test it. It made my blood boll to think of this monogrel Grasser sneaking from ambush upon a defensive victim and shooting him with as little complication as one might a jack-rabbit. That Fordham was the would be assassin I felt absolutely certain although luck had favored him to such an extent that there was no certain evidence against him. Officially, of course, I had nothing to do with the affair as Fordham had not offended the federal authorities in any way, and it was up to the sheriff to solve the mystery. But an opportunity to take the trail in an official capacity was to be granted me in strange and totally unexpected fashion. Nearly five months later Wylie ROUGH THRASHING WAB ADMINISTR Fordham turned up in the town of Graham in the southwestern part of New Mexico. It was a heedless action due to Fordham's ugly temper and ignorance of the federal laws that gave the clue to his whorebouts and left him liable to the far-reaching effects of Uncle Ham's wrath. After recovering from a drunken spree he became involved in a dispute with a local侵劫 to whom he owed a bill. His creditor, who was a fearless fellow and not afraid of either Fordham's black looks or his gun, told him he was a worthless scoundrel who was fit for nothing except to swallow cheap whisky, and hadn't enough honor about him to pay his just debts. Fordham, furious over the, railing he had been subjected to before several people, was loafing around in front of a store in which the post office was located, when he saw his creditor approach and drop two letters into the slide placed there for the reception of the mail. As soo as the merchant went away Fordham slipped inside and abstracted the two letters from the rough, open box into which they had fallen. He know that they wore the correct ones, for in the left hand corner of each envelope appeared the name of his creditor. Going outside again he proceeded to tear the letters into fragments. It is probable that had Fordham known the penalties attached to his childish act of spite that he would never have attempted it, and in a few moments he was made aware of the grave mistake he had made. His son had been witnessed by a law student who knew him slightly and this man at once informed him that tampering with the United States mail was an offense that might get him into serious trouble. Fordham explained that he had torn up the letters simply to get even with his creditor and had no idea that by so doing he was likely to get the United States inmate after him. On pondering over the matter he evidently became alarmed at the idea of having offended the government and made up his mind to leave Graham. Going to where his home was stabbed he added the natural and rode at a gallop for the moun- In the meantime the law student notified the postmaster of the robbery he had witnessed, and that special collected the 'born' fragments of the letters from the real. 'There he gave me a letter.' 'What is it?' curriculum to the post office inspector office at Denver, Then matters began to move swiftly. The inspector at Atharqueree was notified and went at once to Graham. Here he found the facts as stated to be correct, but all traces of Fordham had been lost from the day he headed for the mountains. But he was known to have a sweetheart in Graham, who was the sister of a noted outlaw named Williams, said to be in Arizona, and it was thought that Fordham would endeavor to communicate with her sooner or later. The post office sleuths laid their plans accordingly and all mail directed to this girl was carefully examined and the post mark duly noted, also all letters she sent. A number of missives were received by her from Payson, Aris, and she sent letters to the same point addressed to C. W. Williams. Now, this man was her outlaw brother, and as it was supposed that she was not on the best of terms with him it seemed that some unexpected contingency must have arisen to account for her heavy correspondence in this direction. Finally a large letter addressed to Williams made its appearance, the envelope of unusually thin paper. On examining it carefully it was found that there was a smaller envelope within and on holding it to a strong light the name Wyle Fordham could be decliphered. Judging from this and other evidence it became clear that INTERED TO FORDHAM. where in or about Payson and a warrant for his arrest was placed in my hands for service. I left my official residence at Tucson, for Payson as soon as possible. The latter town is located in one of the most isolated sections of Arizona, 100 miles from telegraph wire or railroad, and in those days telephone service was utterly unknown there. The nearest point on the railway is Globe. From there I bounced a stage coach, drove up into the mountains, crossed Salt river at a point called Livingston and followed the river for several miles. I then continued up Blue Canyon and passed over a mountain which reaches an altitude of 7000 feet at its highest point, arriving at Payson about four p. m. on the day following my departure from Globe. Payson at that time, although called a town by courtesy, possessed only 20 inhabitants and lay nesting in the depths of a pine forest with the mountains frowning darkly down upon it from all sides. From the postmaster I learned that Williams had born into town for mall the day before and that he lived about eight miles southeast of Payson I then made arrangements to secure a team and accompanied by a deputy sheriff left for the Williams camp. My companion informed me that Williams was a noted horse thief who with a band of outlaws that regarded him as chief dwell in a wild region so difficult of access that it was not thought likely that any officers would endeavor to run them down. The roughness of the trail bore out the truth of his assertion and the journey was an exceedingly tiresome one, so much so that I was heartily pleased when we finally came to a halt at the barn of a lone rancher, which my companion said was but a mile from the Williams stronghold. At this point I secured a riding horse on which to finish my journey. I had determined to go the rest of the way alone, as the presence of my companion might have excited suspicion, whereas a single man would find it easier to explain his visit. The principal point of danger to my mind lay in the fact that Fordham had met me once and, if he wore with the outlaws, might recognize me. But I comforted myself with the reflection that my quarry had been pretty drunk on the occasion of our meeting and would hardly be likely to remember me. At all events I was resolved to take the pisk and in a short while disjointed at the outlaw camp. There were five men flees—and Fortham was not among them. Forhaps it was just as well, for theywere the toughest looking set it had ever boomed my fordune to see and had they guessed my mission the chanceswould have been strongly against my leaving their mountain alfair alfair. As it was, my position was none too pleasant, for I felt that strangers were notexactly welcome. However, I put a bold face on the matter and enteredinto conversation with Williams whoseidentity I guessed from the authorityhe appeared to exercise over his companions. I informed him that I wasa mining expert and while up in theMorman Lake region had heard that aformer friend of mine named WylieFortham was staying at this place, and as I was passing through Payson,decided to run down and see himIexplained also that I had met Fordhamin Silver City, N.M. when I hadfirst come out from the skates as a tonderfoot and had punched cowswith him for several months. Williams, who was a grim visaged follow with square set jaws and black piercing eyes, red hard at me while I was speaking as though he were trying to read my innest thoughts. I bore a calf countenance under his scruffs although I could not help wondering whether I had succeeded in decoding him, and felt the pressure of my 44 Colt against my belt to be my sole comfort. Yet it might not have availed me to any great extent. They were five of them drawn close around me all armed truly evil odds for a single player to contend with. But at last Williams spoke and much to my relief in cold tenes He said that Forlham had left the camp with a pack animal about two weeks before and was bound for Graham, adding that my old pal was wearing a bunch of whiskers now, which changed his face so much that I would hardly know him. Had it not been for the remark about the whiskers I would scarcely have believed the outlaw's statement as it did not seem credible that Forlham would venture into Graham again so soon after his escapade. And moreover, his sweetheart must assuinely have posted him as to developments there. But after all it was possible that the very fact of this girl being in Graham might account for his daring to return, trusting to the heavy growth of hair on his face for disguise. He wouldn't be the first fugitive from justice whose affection for one of the fair sex had led him into the folly. And so indeed it proved. After a few moments more of conversation with the obliging William I left the outfaw camp and rejoined my companion. Later I telegraphed from Globe to Marshal Foraker at Alberqueque that from information I had secured. Writie Forham was about to arrive or had already arrived at Graham, and gave the details of his present appearance. On arriving at my official residence at Tucson I found a wire awaiting me which stated that Fordham had been taken into custody as a result of my message. He was convicted and sent to the penitentiary at Santa Fe. A piece of news which afflicted my friend Fusia much satirized when I informed him of it. "But I got so something better than that to tell you I knew he said "What is it Siam?" I asked. I've struck it with joy and in four more weeks I "I'd like in Arizona for Feste in this age." And so he did. SLAY AND ROB MERCHANT Body Found in Yard Riddled With Shot. $3000 Missing Cape Charles Va.

WALSH OFF FOR PRISON CELL Chicago, Jan. 19.—John R. Walsh, once a power in Chicago financial, newspaper and business circles, was taken to the Fort Leavowworth, Kan. federal prison to serve a five years sentence for wroking the Chicago National bank. Exactly two years to the day and the hour after he was found guilty Walsh lost his last fight for a new trial. The United States choptit court of appeals refused his position that the verdict be set aside and the case tried ever again, and issued a mandate directing that the sentence of the lower court be carried out at once. Four years, one month and one day will have stepped since the Chicago National bank failed, carrying down with it the Home Savings Bank and the Equitable Trust company, Dec. 18, 1905. Walsh appeared in Judge Landis court when the commitment was signed. Walsh left the courtroom with his relatives. He looked old, weak, hopeless and almost ill. He tottered and almost fell as he left and descended the steps from the building very slowly and had to be helped into the automobile. ELECTRICITY AS AN ANAESTHETIC Investigation Shows It Is Better Than Drugs. NO BAD EFFECT ON HEART Its Action on Nerve Centres of Brain Produces What Is Called "Electric Sleep" — Delicate Operations Performed on Animals. Philadelphia, Jan. 19.—Years of investigation by noted surgeons for a perfect anaesthetic which would have no detrimental effect on the heart or other vital organs of the patient, apparently have been at last rewarded. Electricity has come to the relief of the surgeons, and investigations going on here and abroad, which have just been made public, show that electricity is far superior to any of the drugs now used to produce analgesia. This discovery, if confirmed by future investigations, and there seems to be no reason that it will not be, is one of the greatest boons to humanity of modern times. It will mean a revolution of modern methods of surgery. Electricity, when used as an anaesthetic, has no bad effects upon the heart. It produces a state of insensibility by acting on the nerve centers of the brain that is called "electric sleep." When the electric current is opened the influence of the anaesthetic is immediately lost and the patient becomes conscious without feeling any of the after effects common to a drug anaesthetic. Not only has electricity been found of service in surgical cases, but according to preliminary communications recently submitted to medical journals by leading physicians, electricity can be used for resuscitating electrocuted animals. The investigators are confident that if this idea is developed it will only be a short time before it will be possible to resuscitate human beings who have been electrocuted. Stephane E. Leducde of Nantes, has conducted numerous experiments upon animals most of them being very successful and other investigators are following in his footsteps. In this country the chief investigator in this field has been a woman doctor of New York city, Dr Louse G. Robinovitch Dr Robinovitch has performed some of the most delicate operations known to surgeons with electricity as an anaesthetic and has been wonderfully successful. All her operations have been on animals the work being still too much in the experimental stage to be used freely on human beings. Some of the operations this noted woman surgeon has successfully performed are trephining of the skull with an exposure of the brain exposure of the large arteries of the neck and operations calling for abdominal sections. At the Philadelphia General hospital the city will shortly procure the necessary apparatus to be used to produce the chest and will conduct a series of allusive operations.

These boards can be bought, but if you have cake pans of a certain size it is wiser to have them made. They should be circular and big enough for the cake to sit down easily between the rows of candles on the outside The outer rim of the board is filled with small holes, into which can be screwed as many tiny candle holders as are needed (often these boards are made of burnt wood with an appropriate motto burnt into it as "Many happy returns of the day"). Another year another leaf is turned within that volume brief. If one does not wish to go to the expense of a decorated board any carpenter will make you a large circle of white pine or any other wood, which can be finished with a white sheller or can be given a coat or two of white paint, covered with white enamel so that it can be easily scrubbed. GUIT on Neckwear With Midas like perseverance fashion has invaded the realm of neckwear and placed upon dainty white lace and linen a golden touch. And it is lovely! The gold lace used in combination with valenciennes or fine tulle and net is cobweby and gives its metallic contrast without any weight. Gold medallions are let in along the edges or frills or on pointed tabs. Embroidery is worked with gold thread outlining, and here and there are solid patches which flash out in jewel form. Neckwear can hereafter be made a part of the costume. The same golden thread or cord used on the blouse is woven into the stock and fabot. Night Lamp Useful Mothers who have timid little ones will appreciate the new night lamp, the apparatus of which may be carried to the country in a trunk or hand bag. This apparatus consists of a small wooden float through which passes a tiny wick. An ordinary china teacup is half filled with cottonseed oil, the little floating wick placed upright in this, and a match touched to the upright wick. While the sides of the teacup prevent the direct light of the flame being visible to the person in bed, a pleasant dim light is cast over the room. 1. TO INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE 2.
