7 OUISE THORNTON sat at table in
the dining-room of a Denver ho-
tel. Despite the fact that she was max
ing her first trip to the far west. In
company with her parents, she was
feeling a little lonely as she gazed
about the big room and encountered a
sea of faces.
Suddenly she was seized with lit
tie thrill of excitement and pleasure
as she saw the waiter ushering to a
neighboring table her friend Elton
Gray. He had formerly lived in the
city in which she resided, and though,
some months ago, he had taken a po'
sition with a large manufacturing firm
in Chicago, their friendship had been
continued by a frequent interchange
of letters. This trip of the Thorntons
had been very sudden and unexpected
and Louise had only notified him OF
their plans while en- route.
She looked fixedly at him until
seeming to feel her gaze, he turned his
eyes in her direction. His face light
ed with pleasure, and he FASTENED tC
her table After the usual greetings
explanations followed. He had not
received her letter before he left Chi
cago, and he accounted for his pres
ence by informing her that he had
been slightly overworked, and had
been advised to take a rest and a
change. The house had suggested
that he should go ION the road" for
two or three months and combine
pleasure with selling goods.
"Will you be in Denver long?" he
asked.
NO; we leave tonight" said Mr..
Thornton.
Elton's face fell.
IL have to remain here few days, "
he said. but let's compare itineraries
and see IL ! cannot make some OF
your prospective stops at the same
time"
A comparison of routes showed
that they could not effect meeting

SHAPING cHILD's NOSE.
A Little Care Can Do Wonders in the
Way Of Changing This
Feature.

The child's nose can be made as
shapely as you please, but it must be
nodded day by day and squeezed and
pressed into shape or it will not be as
1t ought to be.
Never let the nose become closed.
Difficulty in breathing is sure to dilate
the nostrils. They will stand out so
as to spoil the symmetry of the face.
The way to mend it is by constant
working upon it. Do not irritate it,

After dinner he took Louise for a

not quite summon suficier. courage

sdecided that he would meet his fate

A few moments before they we're all

Louise. Slipping into the corridor
she swiftly glided to her room, where
she remained until train time, agi-

conversation she had overheard. TIC
think she could have been so mistaken
in Elton Gray! Hereafter she would
have faith in no man. What could he
mean by such bold action? Her first
thought had been that he was married
and Gladys his wife, but the famil-
lar testing tone of the two men in
discussing the woman and her beauty
told her she was mistaken in this
theory
Meantime the subject of her thoughts
was anxiously inquiring from her par.
