BREAKING THE
RECORD
BY Jeanne CoIdtOeH
Copyright, 1904. by 7. G. Mcclure.

The man grasped the lever of the
French touring car, and the crimson
demon stopped so suddenly that it
fairly sprang backward. The lane was
narrow, and the girl who stood directly
in the path of the machine had the i'm
perious carriage of one who felt she
held the key to the situation. When
the dust had subsidized, the man saw
that above the imperious figure rose a
face of singular charm, surrounded by
an aureole of copperish gold. All this
he saw in flash despite his leather
visor and ugly goggles
The girl came to the side of the ma
chine.

The man nodded his head and made
a motion as If to raise his cap. The
girl put one foot on the step.
Eyes, recognized the car. 1 want
you to take me to Darlington as fast
as you can make the machine co.
The man stirred uneasily.
"But l am meeting some people at
the 11:30 train

girl, sweeping away his objections with

tage To save her life the doctor must
have certain things from his office in
Darlington, and you must take me for
them"
Even before she finished the SEN
tence he had thrown open the low
door, and she sprang up beside him.
AS she settled into her place the
mighty car swung round in a circle,
and they were off. She unfastened the
veil from her big fiat hat, tucked the
latter behind her and tied the tulle
over her hair, which refused, however,
to be confined by such gentle measures.
The man saw all this from the tail of
his eye despite the goggles.
The road stretched before them,
smooth and level as asphalt pavement.
No teams were in sight.
"Fasterw cried the girl impatiently.

ly.
Every well, break the law. I'll pay
the fine If you are arrested. Oh, don't
you understand? I've never seen any
one die, and we've got to get back in
time to save herr'
The car sprang forward. The girl
closed her eyes suddenly. She had
never ridden so fast.
"Accidentp hissed the mans voice
in her ear.
Eyes; she fell and cut herself. 1 was

heard her groan. 1t was dreadful. I
had never seen blood before, you know,

Il was afraid to stay alone with her.
He wrote the list on a paper, and I
was just starting with the pony cart
when heard your machine. The doc
tor says she has just one chance in a
hundred. You were the chance"
The car stopped at the top Of the hill.
Brace yourself" said the man curt
ly. Then came the plunge downward.
1t seemed to the girl as If the wheels
did not strike the ground as they
passed through space. When they
reached the foot Of the hill she realized
suddenly that the chauffeur had been
holding her in the car with an arm
firm and unflinching. He did not apol-
ogize when he removed its support.

.DENOUNCES
BEEF TRUST
Cattleman Laughs at Garfield'S
Statement.
RIDICULOUS" HE ASSERTS
Declares Profits Are From IS to So a
Head, and That Administra-
ton Should Know
Ia
RIDICULOUS" HE ASSERTS


Washington, March 81. L. Miner,
a well-known Nebraskan, in the beef
and cattle business, severely condemned
the Garfield beef trust report yesterday.
He said:
This report speaks of average profit
per head Of cattle handled by the COM
bine as being 90 cents, Here's richness
for you. But why not have added the
extra cent 1t would not have sounded
quite SO much like bargain counter
mark down.
There isn't small local dealer in
the land who buys steers for dressing
and selling to retailers that will not
admit, ii he il honest, that his profits
in each carcass will amount to from
50 to IS, and oftentimes more. It will
do this even in my section of the coun-
try, where we make nothing out OF the
hair, horns, hoofs, and other by prod
ucts that the big Chicago fellows make
balance the expense Of handling the
cattle.
sIhe idea OF 80 cents per head ais an
average profit to the combine is so SUI
premelY preposterons that it seems
strange 1t could be seriously promuI-
gated as a document fathered by any
department Of this government
Among western producers of cattle
it will awaken lively indignation. If
Washington cannot give US more reli-
able statistics than this il would be
better not to furnish any"

NEW DISCLOSURES MADE

Cleveland, o., March 9.-Despite
snow and sleet storm the federal court
room was crowded when the trial q
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was resumed
yesterday.
Receiver Robert Lyons Of the oberlln
bank, who was on the stand at the
adjournment yesterday, was the first
witness. District Attorney Sullivan
showed him number Of the checks
drawn by Mrs. Chadwick on the 0berlin
bank, and certified by Beckwith and
Spear. He testified that the books Of
the bank did not show on any Of the
dates when the checks were drawn, any
money, or credit Of any kind, belonging
to the defendant, against which the
checks could legally be honored By the
bank.
Mr.. Sullivan handed the witness two
drafts made on the importers and
Traders National Bank By the 0berlin
Bank, aggregating $4,000, in favor Of
Mrs. Chadwick. and asked BIN il on
the date of their issue any money was
in the bank 70 her credit,
The defence objected 10 the drafts
because they had not been mentioned
in the indictment. The drafts were
dated Aug. 24, 1908, and Mr.. Sullivan
declared, the books 81 the 0beFlin bank
showed no mention Of the drafts until
Sept. 20, 1903.

spiraey, he argued, that the government

that this amount was for one month

wick, the three papers were part of the
same transaction and were permissible.
Receiver Lyons stated that no en-.
try OF the drafts appears on the books
Of the bank until Sept. 20. 1903. and
that between the two dates Mrs. Chad
wick had neither money nor credit n

PROTOCOL IN SENATE.
Discussion Of the Santo Domingo Ques-
ton.

Washington, March 9.-The Senate
yesterday went into executive session
soon after meeting and proceeded to dis
clIss certain phases Of the Santo Domin-
90 question.
The resolution proposed some days
ago by Mr. Bacon was again offered in
modified form, calling upon the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations to examine and
report whether it is competent under
the Constitution for any agreement not
made by and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate to become binding
upon the United States when such agree
ment provides for taking possession OF
the Custom House and administering
the finances Of foreign country; also
whether an agreement made without
the advice and consent of the
Senate may be binding upon the
United States when it provides for the
collection of debts from foreign coun-
tries, either for the United States or a
citizen thereof If it is determined
that such an arrangement may be bind
ing and constitutional, the committee
is directed to report the nature and con.
stitutional limitations of such an agree
ment.
The discussion in the Senate was I'M
derstood to be on this resolution, as
well as in relation to certain nomina
tons awaiting confirmation.

Defer not till tomorrow to be wise,
Tomorrows sun to thee may never rise.
Truly it has been said that procrasti-
nation is the thief Of time The habit
of delay is one of the most vicious
faults to which mankind is subject In
almost every instance delays are entirely
unnecessary and are often due to care
lessness, but more often to thoughtless.
ness. Strange as it may seem, this
danger from delay is encountered more
often as a result Of carelessness or
thoughthlessness about our heahh or
the health Of someone dependent upon
us. How often pneumonia could be pre-
vented if the victim had acted sooner.
Now is the time to watch out for
that little cold Now is the time to take
steps to check it, and the best way TO
arrest its progress is TO take Alagee's
Emulsion. This Is the wonderful COM
bination OF Cod Liver Oil, Malt and Hy-
pophosphites. 1t primes the system
so that IT will throw off that little
cold and prevent such serious compli-
cations as pneumonia, bronchitis, grip,
etc Magee's Emulsion is non narcotic
and non-alcoholic. Nothing enters into
its composition that is not of value 10
the system. It produces fat, keeps yo'i
warm and makes you strong. Magees
Emulsion is food, a medicine and
a tonic combined. Beware Of the wine
preparations of cod liver oil. They con-
tain no oil, so cannot possibly produce
the benefits sought. Besides, the al
cohol win cause a reaction, after you
cease taking it, that will leave you in
worse condition than before
Magees Emulsion will surely help
you. Start taking it today and month
later compare yourself with your con-
dition Of today. Don't delay. Tomor-
row never comes. Remember, no wine,
no whiskey, just food. Get d bottle
