life and death Did she her own life? Had
she meant to intimate that her secret

He thrust this latter thought away as shameful
not only to her. but as we'll to himself In lovers
reactonary mode of thought he fouted his
worthiness and loyalty, he scorned his recre-

He made attempt to eat his breakfast, but
failed What he should do, he could not determine.
The aspect of the entire affair, from Major Van
Twillers point of view, he appreciated thoroughly
and painfully. 1t was now concerning the things
that must follow that he thought and must keep
thinking.
What would happen this afternoon and to-

what Aieen had said-that she could not let any

her lips, at the moment most vital to his honor.
What reason could he have for supposng that the

CHAPTER ~.

WOOSTER awoke the following morning with
w a bitter taste in all his being. Between
dreams and reality he almost had fanced that all
was well, that fuller consciousness would swiftly
disspate his troubles and restore his happiness of
mind. But his habitual clearness of thought re-
turned to him presently revealing hundred ugly
features of the nights complications that he had
not realized before.
What manner of business it in which Aileen
had been engaged, was his principal mystihcaton.
At times he was nearly betrayed into doubts of
her motives, her connection with the wretched
affair. This the elimination of his I'M
happiness. He could suffer the shame of Major

Controversy.

Chicago Authority Passes on Harlan
Controversy.
According to A. A. Stage. the noted Chi
cago university coach and authority on the
rules Of football. the recent game between
the Council Bluffs and Harlan High schools
should have been given to the Bluffs team
by score OF TO 0. Council Bluffs claimed
a touchdown which the referee, Harlan
man, refused to allow. The touchdown was
made on punt by Nicoll. who had called
Quarterback Benjamin behind him. at the
same time, calling the attention Of the
referee to Benjamin's position. When Nicoll
punted Benjamin dashed forward, caught
the ball as II bounded. and succeeded in
evading the Harlan tackles and landing the
sphere back of Harlan's goal line. Ruther-
ford, who was umpire, gave the touchdown
to Council Bluffs but the referee refused to
allow it. although no contention was made
that BENJAMIN was ofTside.
Stage in his letter. received here yes.er-
day, says:
IL the quarterback was behind the man
who kicked the ball, and the Quarterback
secured the ball and crossed the goal line
II was certainly a touchdown
The question was one for the umpire To
decide, since he is the judge OF off-plays
and IL the umpire did not call a foul (he
could not do so legitimately IN this easel
the man must be given touchdown.

" Best Ever"

1t is with great deal of pleasure
that l desire to thank my numerous
friends and patrons for their magnifi-
cent patronage during the holidays,
and to assure them that their treat
ment is most certainly appreciated.
My business last year was the largest
had ever experienced, and I hardly
hoped to equal it this year; yet not
only equaled, but went far beyond
and set high-water mark.
There is no question but what it
pays to advertise, and that the local
press is the best medium through
which to reach the public. You not
only get good results, but fair, cour-
teous and honorable treatment.
One thing more: Paris is the place
for Paris and Bourbon county people
to transact business, for by so doing
they make the best town in the State
still better one; in fact, one worthy
of her inhabit ants, the best people on
earth. Wishing everybody mer y
Christian and prosperous New Yeal,
am greatfully yours,
