ignore; "but he's on day shift, and Ao
won't come up until six o'clock"
So she went to her room and threw
herself on the bunk and waited until
six o'clock. It began to be borne in
upon her that she had done decidedly
bold thing even for her, and the way
out of it was not altogether apparent.
But then Calverley would show her
that; and at six o'clock she went in
search of him.
It was very much of shack, indeed,
his place of abode. Her soul yearned
toward him, that she should have lived
in luxury all these months, the while
his fortunes had been SO low as this.
1t was also very untidy woman who
opened the shaky door in answer to her
not too confident knock; an untidy
woman and wearylooking, but pretty
withal, and young. And the two chill
dren who clung to her skirt were pref
ty, also. There was third child. 1t
was sitting on Calverley's knee before
red-covered supper table, and Calver-
ley was feeding it something. He sat
with the spoon poised, and blank look
in his eyes.
A terrible misgiving took hold of Miss
Porter. With most women it would
have been a certainty. "Giles!" shs
walled, losing all presence of mind.
But he kept his. 1t was not the first
trying situation he had lived through,
though it was, perhaps, the most so.
He rose from his chair and spilled the
child. His voice rose above it's injured
howl. miss Porter!" he exclaimed.
''How charming! How unexpected!
Let me present my wife-Mrs. Myers,
Miss Porter"
She tried hard to take it well, to ac.
cept her cue from him and turn the
tragedy of her life into society skit,
Fafter the manner of women and of the
day. But she failed. When she opened
her mouth to speak no words would
come, and she fell forward into Mrs,
Myers arms.
Mrs. Myers was very kind to her. She
took her back to the hotel and stopped
there with her that night. "You should
not be here all alone," she said, in he1
sweet English voice. And when the
girl started to sobbingly explain she
checked her. II understand" she said
"you need not tell me. He had sold q
claim well and he went away to have a

miration. "And dare say" she added
"that he had it."-San Francisco Ar

A cloud of bugs was recently re-
sponsible for the calling out Of the
Trenton fire department. The bugs
were gathered around the steeple of
the Fourth Presbyterian church in
such numbers and at such distance
from the ground that a passer-by mis-
took them for smoke and sent in an
alarm.

Mr.. Major the famous cement man of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
1915 a pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share Of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved lin water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition OF
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty five cents bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on.
any cement. And this is doubly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr. Majors ad-
vertsing, which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country.
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not ac
cept any off hand advice from druggist.
If you are at al handy (and you will
be likely to find that you are good deal
more so than yon imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti
5les, with Majors Rubber Cement, and
Majors Leather Cement
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

A New Railroad to San Francisco.

Announcement is made of the opening
for passenger business of the newly COM
pleted extension of the Santa Fe Route
to San Francisco, opening for freight
business having been made several weeks
ago. The fact marks an event of no lit
tie national Importance as a new trans
continental line thus enters the field of
! business between the great California
port and the east. so long mOnOpolized
by the one railroad, to which heretofore
San Francisco and the other cities Of
central California have been restricted.
A distinct benefit to trade and travel
may confidently be expected to result in
the form of better freight and passenger
transportation, which commonly follows
railway competition for public patronage.
BY this step, also, the Santa Fe Road
has materially added to it's sources of
revenue. 1t is the only railroad with
track and trains under one ownership and
management all the way from Chicago to
San Francisco, as heretofore it has en-
we'd that distinction between Chicago
and Los Angeles and San Diego. The
advantages resulting from such undivid-
ed responsibility are apparent, as it
means uniformity of policy and prompt
through service, which in system of the
high standing of the Santa f. signify
much to the traveller and the shipper.
The route is rich IN attractions for the
tourist. All the way from eastern Colo
RADIO to the California boundary it runs
practically over continuous mountain
top, averaging a. high above sea level as
is the summit of Mount Washington IN
New Hampshire. Mountain passes, ex-
tinct vOlcapOa potr,fiod fOroets prohic
toric ruins, Indian Pueblos, the Yosemi-
to and the Grand Canon of the Colorado
River in Arizona, are some of the feat
ures, certainly striking list for those
who are ignorant of the extraordinary
interest of travel through the south
western portion of our country. Also an
independent route is thus established
through San Francisco to Hawaii. the
Philippines and the Orient, on the flight
traffic with which the Santa Fe has al
ready secured strong hold, and now
proposes to reach out vigorously for the
passenger travel.

To meet the constantly growing de-
mand for Graphophone of the Grand
style at figure that will suit the popu-
lar purse, the Columbia monograph Co.
announces that the price of the Coum-
bla Grand GraphophOne is reduced from
$50 to $50, of Grand records from 81 80
to 81 90 each, and of Grand blanks from
81 to 75c each.
1t is confidently believed that this sub
stantial price reduction will have the
effect of placing Graph phones of the
genuine Grand type In the hands of
thousands of persons who have hitherto
been restrained from purchasing by rea-
son of the comparatively high prices
heretofore prevailing. AS further and
even greater means of stimulating the
sales OF Grand machines and records, and
of overcoming what undoubtedly has
been the principal deterrent to their al
most universal nse, the price of Grand
records have been reduced to 81 each,
instead of $3.50 as heretofore.
Columbia Grand records have Justly
earned the reputation of being the fn-
est product of the record making art,
and the manufacturers pledge themselves
! that the goods will continue to deserve
this reputation. The reduction in price
has been made possible by the new man
nfacturlng process which result in i'm
proved records as we'll AS in more eco
nomlcal manufacture Grand blank
cylinders, formerly 81 each, reduced to
75c each. 1t is anticipated that the new
prices will create a demand for these
wonderful machines that will greatly tax
the snnerb facilities of he manufactur.
ers. Their plant at Bridgeport, Conn, j.
the largest and most modern and complete
talking machine factory in the world and
their facilities for the quick and econom-
ical production and distribution of their
goods are unapproached.
The Columbia Phonograph Co. has
brought about every substantial i'm
provement in the talking machine art.
The most recent achievement and one as
startling Az the original invention itself,
was the discovery of the principles gov
erning the construction of Graphophones
OF the Grand type These machines
give forth reproductions of sound with
the same volume and quality as the orig
inal rendition. They speak and sing
with the volume of a giants voice; yet
with the intensified vibrant power there
is no sacrifice of quality. but on the con-
trary, richer, fuller and more faithful
reproduction of the timbre of the original
sound is obtained.
Five hundred dollars was the price of
the machines when first offered for sale,
and the original price of large records
vas S. each. Facilities for the manufac-
ture of the goods OF large scale and
the bringing out of new models, have
made possible great reductions in price.
