SYNOPSIS,

Thomas Keasbey and his wife have
taken a house on the Pine Hill road about
two miles for the village. They have
brought with them their daughter Dor
lila, who has been at a convent school in
the south for several years, and does not
know that her father is a professional
criminal. She has many strange charac-
teristics, one of which Is the power of at
tracing and tanning white BUTTERFLIES,
which follow her about everywhere she
goes. She is noticed by young Mrs. Coils
Wood the wife of the cashier of the VIII
lage bank, who induces her to attend a
class of girls which meets Sunday after
moons near Dorillas home. Dorilla and
Mrs. Wood become quite intimate, and the
former often spends the afternoon at the
latter's house, although her parents are
not aware of 1t. Dorilla confesses an at
tachment for one "Mikey," who resides
at her house. He is really one of a band
of burglars who are planning with Thomas
Keasbey to break into the bank by boring
through the floor above and the steel
and cement ceiling. Keasbey wishes to
obtain a plan of the rooms above the bank
and II occurs to him that he can get his
daughter to visit them. He makes an ex-
cuse for her to go and draw a plan of
them, and she does so. The burglars
stop at Keasbey's house and work every
night at the bank until an opening is
made. The night of the actual robbery
Dorilla overhcars the men talking and
TealiZes for the first time what is to be
DONE She hears them plan to overpower
Coils Wood, the husband of her friend,
who is sleeping at the bank while largo
sum Of money is deposited there.

WHAT FOLKS TALK ABOUT.
A Physician Who Has Taken Notes of
the Words Most Commonly Used.
L. l.. L., Il L..


A certain physician of this city who
never neglects an opportunity to study
the traits of the people among whom
his business takes him, has been max
ing some observations recently that
may serve as a basis for estimating
the character of the average modern
American.
"I have to travel on street cars a
good DEAL" the physician said in ex-
planning his course of procedure, "and
hear all kinds of people talk. A short
time ago I thought l would keep a.

used within my hearing by people Of
