Cling fellow with little but love and
hope-what's he to a girl like that?
She was reared to measure everything
by the gold standard, and women don't
often stray from such training for the
sake of love"
Then Hollister went to sleep and
dreamed that his law books came down
from their shelves and changed to
golden imps and danced a minuet
around him. Only on each golden
body, in lieu of Il head. a mammoth
Marechal Mel was perched; and as
they passed, each imp seemed to pause
and smile m~ockingly at him.
The next night, the trio met at Mrs.
De Lands German. She, radiant, i'm
perial, matchless-in turquoise velvet,
pearls and Marechal Niels. Croesus
looked upon her with more covetous
eyes than ever he had given to the
roodliest preferred" stotk; and re-
solved to hazard his fate while that
alluring look met his gaze.
When HOLSTER saw his roses on her
breast, his sm~ouldering rage dimin-
ished and love seemed, just then, the
only guerdon worth striving for. But
Croesus lowered about her and she let

How to Travel in Comfort.

Wash the face as seldom as posi-
BILE when travelling, as the lust and air
render the skin very harsh if it is O
stantly damped.
The best way to remove any dust
is to dip a rag in elder flower water
(that most innocent and refreshing OF
toilet waters) and use that only. When
the journeys end Is reached, rub the
face all owe with a thin cold cream,
and leave on until you make your ap.
pearance among your friends, wheL
wipe off with a soft towel; then use a
vaporizer Tor sponge with warm wa
cold water to close the pores and give
flrmness to the skin. If powder is used
in travelling, it should be put on only to
dust 1t of again. To keep it on makes
the skin dry and harsh. At night rub
on a very little cold ream when re-
firing as the close air and electric
light are very Injurious to the complex
ion, especially in hot weather. For q
powder nothing is better than powder
ed ~magnesia-it is harmless and cool
mg-but it should not be left or long.
There is nothing, however, that re-
freshes one 80 much as washing ones

hended the force of his words save
that they meant a little respite from
what she dreaded and yet felt was in
evitable. as well as a brief ~sojourn
in that other world-the world Of
dreams.
Before Croesus realized hat she was

dowr l.-r room in HOLSTERS arms to
the amy music of the waltz.

Mrs. Henry Betz, who operates a
bakery in Cumberland, drove off a
highwayman who attempted to hold
her up early yesterday morning as
she was coming along a lonely road
from her home in Sulphur Spring
Hollow to her place of business in the
city. says the Washington Post. The
man thrust a revolver in her face AMI
commanded her to give up her money
or die. She made believe she was
reaching in the folds of her dress for
her money. and as the man turned his
head to one side she dealt him a pow
erful blow under the ear with her fist.
The mar sank to his knees and she
kept raining blows on his head. He
eventually regained his feet and rushed
away upon the approach Of a man.
Mrs. Betz is a muscular woman. nCt0d
for her fearlessness. Her hand is
swollen to twice its normal size as the
result of the humping she gave the
