A knock at the door announced that

one last look at the scene of his mis-

the room.

umph at both glance and gesture, and
when Mr. Lennox returned to her side,
as the vessel steamed down the har-

which misery had set its seal, turned
wistfully to the shore of the city, he

Prince sapieke's Story.

Prince sapieke, who. has been the
social lion OF Lakewood, is very apt
with repartee In discussing the inn
perialistic attitude of the United States
he told this story:
"The saving of the Filipinos from
governing themselves and giving them
liberty through the use of maxfms re-
minds me of a missionary in India. 1t
was during the famine season. One
of the government officials called upon
him
Brother he said. 4 understand

sumed. as a murmur of unbelief arose.

Jimmy Baker is a journeyman bar
Der. Last July he "got on a good
thing" at racetrack and won S120.
He Immediately resigned his position
and started to take two weeks va
cation. He had heard some OF the
patrons Of the downtown barber shop
where he worked talking about Ocon-
omowoc as being dead swell place, :"
and he decided that it would just
about suit him so long as his $120
held out.
He took fine room at the swell
est" hotel and started in to try TO en-
10Y himself. But nobody at the hotel
seemed TO be anxious to make his ac-
Quaintance. Even the pretty young
woman in blue and pink Powered shirt
waist who acted as telegraph opera
tor In the hotel lobby was exceedingly
chilly. In the big hotel dining room
the summer girls and their guardian
mammas never even seemed TO see
Jimmy. though he never came in I'M
til everybody else was seated and was
always careful to comb his hair into
CAoDOhotC OA ClNACA 0iAG
his forehead.
Four or five days had gone by in
this way and Jimmy was almost ready
to declare that society life was all
snare and a delusion
Meanwhile the small blond young
woman who sent and received mes
sages had unconsciously twined her
self tightly into the tendrils of jim
my's helpless affection. Time after time
Jimmy sauntered airly up to her desk
and made some playful remark which
was intended to be fascinating. But
1t was no use. Miss Maginn always
looked up with a sober and business
like air and inquired whether he was
expecting message.
That finally gave him an idea. He
had never received but two messages
by telegraph In his life, but there
seemed TO be no reason why he should
not get few. He sat down and
wrote long letter to one of the boys
in the barber shop at Chicago.
That evening Jimmy spent in pain
fully watching dance in the hotel
dining room, watching with envious
eyes a young man in white yachting
suit as he whirled the beauteous Miss
Maginn round the long room In a
waltz. And Miss Maginn never even
glanced In his direction.
Dear me! What a change there
was in the morning When Jimmy
came down into the lobby on his way
to breakfast pretty Miss Maginn, look
ing as fresh as daisy before the sun
had slipped the dew from its petals,
looked up at him with a smile,
'Mr. Baker" she called to him, I've
q message here for you. fancy it's
an important one"
Jimmy took the yellow envelope with
what he tried TO make bored express
sion. He leaned careIessly against
the ornamental railing about Miss Ma
ginn's desk, tore open the envelope,
unfolded the message, and read 1t.

With one deep groan Lennox re-
leased his hold as he sank back into
his chair and buried his face In his
hands Then, with mighty effort, he
regained his self-control, and. slowly
rising. approached Travis, laying one
hand almost tenderly on the young
mans shoulder.
