oh, drive on, drive If You have spark
of manhood in you"
A horse and horseman came out of
the wood, about fifty yards behind them,
and Grace would have fallen headiong,
but for the half-reluctant arm of Grips,
as Dobbin with jump set off full gaIlop
over rut and rock, with a blow on his
back from the fist of Kit, like the tumble
of chimney pot.
Then Christopher Sharp, after one sad
look az Grace Oglander's flying figure,
turned round to confront his father.

firm gaze, and strong grasp of his bride;
that you have made a great mistake,

Their eyes met in furious conflict of
will, the elder mans glaring with the
blaze of an opal, the younger ones steady
with a deep brown glow.
Strike me dead, if you choose" said
Kit, as his father raised his arm, with
the loaded whip swinging, and counted,
Zone, two, three"-then the crashing
blow fell on the naked temple; and it
was not needed twice.

pRO Mn IN AUTO.
Three Persons Plunge with Machine TO
Death in Chicago River.

Death in Chicago River.
Three members Of a touring party, one
woman and two men, were drowned, and
two other persons had narrow escapes
from death when Il large touring car
plunged through an open draw into the
Chicago River at the Rush street bridge
at 8 o'clock Saturday evening.
William II. Hoops, who was acting as
chauffeur when the accident occurred,
says he tried TO pass another automobile
which he had been trailing and this was
the cause of the spectacular accident,
Hoops declared there were no signal
lights to warn him that the bridge was
open. and that if there were he could not
see them in the heavy fog:
Pedestrians saw three machines rum
ming side by side up the incline to the
bridge. When they were within twenty
yards of the opening the machine occu-
pied by Hoops and his friends shot
ahead. An agonized cry was heard by
those in the other carriages as Hoops
saw and realized his peril
Hoops, the police say, had no time to
attempt to check the speed of the ear
although, according to his own story, he
made frantic efforts to swerve the car
around. The rubber-tired wheels slipped
on the wet pavement and the vehicle slid
sideways into the open draw. The mo-
ment those in the car realized their dan
ger all stood up in the machine. The
women screamed and the men chung to
the sides of the vehicle as it plunged into
space. So fast was the car going that
it shot some distance out over the water,
turned suddenly, throwing out all the
occupants, and then dived into the water.
Immediately every possible effort was
made by those who had witnessed the
accident to offer assistance to those
struggling in the water. The hreboat
Illinois and several patrol wagons were
hurried to the bridge. Those on the
street could still see the victims strug-
Cling in the water and occasionally heard
their cries for assistance.
As this was the second accident of the
same kind to occur at the Rush street
bridge, the authorities at once took steps
70 prevent further disaster. Acting May
Or Patterson ordered the police to require
automobile drivers to come to a dead stop
when approaching bridges in the future.
The police were warned to see that the
order is obeyed to the letter.

Something to Tie To.

It was at the last of the Inaugural
ton concerts given at the pension
building .in honor of the American
people" At one end of the great hal
was the platform, filed by the chorus
and the Marine band Everywhere
else-in throngs upon the floor, in
closely packed procession pressing
through the upper gallery, filling every
chair in the various rooms-were PEG
pie OF every class and station, women
in evening gowns and women In shirt
waists, men from city, farm and prai
RE, Saxon and negro, native and for
eign-born, in short-the American
people,"
Presently there appeared at the en-.
trance of one of the rooms stout
pleasant-faced woman with a bevy OF
half dozen young people. Just as the
group appeared two persons who had
been sitting in the room rose to leave
The stout woman, with sigh Of relief
secured one Of the chairs.
There" she exclaimed, now we're
fixed! You young folks can so where
you want to, but I'm going to stay
right here. Now mind, you're all going
to meet here to start home. l shall
stay till every last one of you has
come, II have to camp here all night
And you needn't any of you try to stir
me before that, for sha'n't bulge"
The young people laughed and scat
tered; the newcomer turned to the
stranger next her.
"'T1sn't any picnic to take half q
dozen young folks to inauguration "
she confided, 'but we've got along first

So Phil came, laughing but obedient

Cnnkinrbv ELECTRICITY.

If you live in a fat or an apart
ment house, you live just where elec
tricity can be used to its best advan-
tage. The janitor's fires in the base
ment supply your hot water. All you
require is occasional heat for the
preparation OF meals, and when you
want it you want it in the quickest,
cleanest and least troublesome form.
Here the electric cooker just fits the
situation to dot AS you never
have overmuch room IN an apartment

trio scheme is delight Some Of the
latest New York fats are furnished

with electrical outfits so light and
tidy that after meals they can be
slowed out of sight in the closet
The ordinary and larger fats have
electric ranges, all tiled and hooded,
so clean and free from smell that you
could almost run one on the parlor
carpet without "littering up" any.
To be able thus to cook with some
thing that doesn't turn your whole
fat into a furnace makes electricity
in summer a Joy forever.-Warren

BANKER GOES TO PRISON.
Frank G. Bigelow Sentenced for Ten
Year Term.


Frank G.. Bigelow, Milwaukee's mil
lionaire defaultfig banker, in charge of
United States Deputy Marshal johnson.
started for the government prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Saturday night
to serve sentence of ten years imposed
on him by Judge Joseph V. Quarles at
Milwaukee. Bigelow after pleading
guilty and asked if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed,
gloomily shook his head in the negative.
The maximum sentence of ten years was
then imposed.
Judge Quarles, a personal friend of
Bigelow, in a voice denoting suppressed
emotion, said:
1T is something more than regret, it
is profound sorrow, that l experience in
view of the stern duty by which 1 am
now confronted. l gladly would have
devolved this function upon another, but
on mature reflection it has seemed that
a public officer ought not to shrink from
the discharge of any plain duty because
of personal consideration. The sugges-
tons of sympathy that so naturally arise,
based upon personal friendship. must be
silenced by the just requirements of the
law.
by reason of the great prominence Of
the defendant and the enviable position
that he held in banking circles, the evil
influence of his default has been far
reaching. Here is a man of high intelli-
gence, ripe experience, enjoying the un.
limited confidence of the people of this
city, occupying high social station, who
appears deliberately to have been sys.
tematically false to his trust and guilty
of repeated violations of the law. In
such case the court can see no pal
liating circumstance.
1T is concluded and adjudged on the
plea Of the defendant that the said de-
PENDANT is guilty as charged in the counts
of the Indictment, and the sentence of
the law is that for each of the counts in
the indictment he be imprisoned in the
United States penitentiary at Fort Leav-
enworth a period of ten years."

To Clean Skin.

Enough tincture of benzoin to make
slightly milky lotion makes an ex-
celIent skin cleaner. Apply it frequent
and you will find fewer blackheads
and coarse pores. So few women un-
derstand that there are gentler means
of cleansing the face skin than plain
soap and water that 1t is scarcely to
be wondered at that blotches end
rough faces are common. Sweet milk
and water is a skin beautifier, AMI

Meanwhile Mr.. Sharp, who had stuck
to his bride, limped to his horse, but
could not mount. Then he drew forth
the other pistol from the near holster,
and cooked it and levelled it at Grips:
but thanks to brave Dobbin, now the dis
lance was too great, and he kept the
charge for nobler use.

Recipe to Preserve a Husband

Select nice, kind, amiaDle, indus
trious man, and prepare him for the
ordeal of making him go through a
long engagement, which, effectually
renders him easy to handle. Gently
detach him from all old friends and ac-
quaintances, and remove any bad hab-
its he might have, says the Record
Herald. To preserve, deprive him of
his latchkey and throw a handful Of
mother-in-law in the house. Shred him
of all Of his finer feelings by nagging
and pound them into a pulp by COM
plants. When he has simmered down
put as much love into the heart as it
will hold, add an ocean of sympathy,
word of tenderness, a pound of for
bearance and ton or so of patience.

him." Now come on he said, be
sure and not to tell Richard says
he promised nor TO tell. Then George
took his gun and cleaned i with
cane and rag. Early III the morning
George said. Son. when YOU get UP
in the morning. tell the chaps that
YOU and ME was in the watermelon
patch: and that | called you at the
peach tree: that will save me from
people thinking that | killed him.
Richard said he never went to water
melon patch with George. George
brought a melon in the house next
morning with little holes in it; look
ed as if it had been done with stick,
presumably doing it to fool the chill
dren.
George Gillian tried to prove an
alibi. He said he started TO Silver
Street. but changed his mind and
went toward Deadfall. but he never
cot there. He told tale about meet
ing a negro named Tom Werts, who
borrowed his gun. Said he got in the
school house and slept till Tom got
back: when Tom came back he told
hin, that Charlie was shot. George
said he was surprised. Shot twice at
a dog. so he said. George said he had
only two shells and they were loaded
with number eight shot. He said he
always carried gun with him at night.
Said what Richard said about the wa
termelon was true. for he wanted to
fool Richard. The reason he said it
was because he was charged with
killing a man in Laurens and he did
MT want to be thrown into the case,
for If might be found out whom he
was. His real name is Horace Shep-
pard.
The evidence against the negro is
not enough to convict, for it has not
been proven yet that he fired the
shots. 1t will require shrewd work
bv the officials to work out the case
fully, but there is little doubt that
George Gillian is the murderer. The
prisoner is a big. bully, black negro.
During his testimony his counten-
ance never changed, and when he
touched the pen to make his mark,
his hand was firm and steady; in fact
he was the coolest man on the stand.
