savinn Steps.

The woman who does her own
work would fnd much comfort IN a
simple little device adopted by a
Philadelphia bride, says the Press
OF that city. 1t is movable stand
for removing the dishes from the
dining room to the kitchen and so
constructed that all dishes can be
taken from the kitchen at once,
thus saving many steps. Clean
dishes, the different courses, etc,
can Be brought from the culinary
regions in one "trip" This labor
saving device IS nothing more than
a stout little table mounted or
rollers and fitted out with a couple
Of shelves, extensions and other con-
vcniences. The carpenter made the
improvements for a couple of dol
lars. The little housewife says her
stand has already saved her $50
worth Of time and strength.

[Originail
It was a desolate looking place. that

a girl Of twenty. could have filed the

an important change in my life 1t

One night trouble came, sure enough.
Two men stepped into the station, and
without a word one Of them came to
me and ordered me away from the tel

took up red lantern from the door

man who had approached me intended
that / should not sound warning

half an hour Knowing as ! did that
the train carried an express safe, l
surmised that these men were but two

and rob the safe.
For q few minutes | was frightened
nearly TO death. It was only when the
man with the lantern went out and
the other quietly took a seat where he
could watch me that II occurred to me
they would not likely hurt woman
unless she interfered with their plans.
From that moment I began to regain
my composure. Then began to think
of some trick by which might send a
message. TO do SO openly was impos-
sible. The man would not let me get
