"Oh, you coward!"

It was q clear, youthful feminine
voice. Wistrom looked up as the
house door Slammed and girl with
very pink cheeks and abundant yellow
hair-a very pretty girl-came run
ming down the steps and caught up
the bowling dog In her arms.
How could you be so cruel as to
hit a poor little dog like that!" she
demanded, turning an indignant pair
of very blue eyes on W.strom.
"I-I didn't exactly mean to hit him
SO hard" lied Wistrom in some con-
fusion. "You see"
But the girl turned her back on him
contemptuously and ran up the steps
and into the house, carrying her pet
with her.
1t was q remarkable thing, but Wis
from instantly regretted hitting the
dog.
All day long he thought of the girl
with the .lue eyes and yellow hair,
and the more he thought Of her the
more poignant became his regret.
After all, on eminent authority, it was
the nature and delight of dogs to bark
and bite, and why should they be
struck with an umbrella for following
purely natural impulse?
For weeks Wistrom looked in vain
at the house as he passed for some
sign Of the pretty girl. He did not
even see the dog. On Sundays, when
ha of oil low ho
ing but sit by the window watching
to see her. Some time soon, he
thought, the chance would come, and
then
It came at last, that chance. Wis
from was walking down an obscure
street one afternoo4 when he saw a
forlorn and mud-caked little dog that
was shivering and whining discon-
solately in the shelter of a doorway.
There was something familiar about
that dog, Wi-trom thought, and he
stopped to look at 1t more attentively.
Yes, it was certainly the dog. If there
had been any doubt about it, the way
he snarled and snapped when Wistrom
stopped to pick him up would have in
stantly dispelled it. Undoubtedly the
dog had strayed away.
Well, muddy and wet as he was,
Wistrom slowed him underneath his
coat, to the coats and q white waist
coats ruin, and half an hour later he
was ringing The bell Of the house with
the stone front. An elderly woman an
swered the ring, and went into
ecstasies of delight at the sight of the
dog. 1t was quite q touching re-
union. She-the elderly lady-was most
grateful to Wistrom, too, and so
pleased to learn that he was a neigh
Dor. The poor dog, she explained, had
been confined to the house in conse-
quence of a ruf1anly young hoodlum
having abused him, and on being let
out for exercise had scampered of.
Wistrom coughed behind his hand.
"Your daughter will, no doubt, be glad
to see her pet again." ne said, po-
litely.

II supposed the young lady
to be your daughter" said Wistrom.

eyes

that was my niece, who was making
me visit few weeks ago. She went

BEAUTY AND BEAST

=, 1t was an exceedingly small dog, but
its ferocity was almost alarming. As
Wistrom passed the house with the
stone front 1t darted out from the side
passageway In perfect fury of angry
excitement and pursued him with
paroxysma barkings the entire length
Of the low fence that separated the
lawn from the street. ."
A day or two later the same thing
occurred. This time Wistrom made q
threatening demonstration with his
umbrella. It was an unwise thing to
do, for it did not have a soothing ef-
feet on the little animal, which from
that time forth seemed to lie in walt
for the young man, who lived only q
few doors away. The moment he came
in sight that brown, hairy streak
would shoot from the passage, leap at
him. all but scaling the tiny pickets,
and raised such a clamor of hatred
that it seemed the whole street must
be alarmed. Wistrom became more
and more resenuul. The dog got on
his nerves.
One morning as Wistrom started out
he noticed that the front gate Of the
house with the stone front had been
left open. He gripped his umbrella
tightly and took a deep breath as he
heard the preliminary yelp OF defiance
at the passage entry. The next mo-
ment the dog was at the fence and the
next he discovered the open gate, and
was out on the sidewalk at Wistrom's
heels. Wistrom stopped. The dog
retreated, still barking furiously; he
went on and the dog was again yap-
ping at his heels Then, without
turning. Wistrom brought his umbrel-
la around with vicious force and-oh,
joy!-caught the cog on the ribs.

supplied the yellow journals with the
biggest head lines in recent criminal
cases. The wife becomes for the time
being sort of female Sherlock
Holmes, and goes for the woman In
the case, from whom she ultimately
wrings the truth and thus clears her
husband. While the action OF the
play, which eliminates in what has
come to be called in New York the
famous third act, is somewhat melo-
dramatic, it is perfectly plausible. In
deed the great success the play has
enjoyed is chiefly due to the fact that
the story in its main features is al
most identical with that of the most
famous actual life dramas with
which the courts of justice have had
to deal with of late. The part OF the
wife is played by Miss Margaret Ben
nett, a role in which her well-known
feminine charms have every opportu-
nifty of display.

have created so much comment as

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are few labor unions conducted
on peaceful lines and in proportion al
they are worthy they have won es-
TEEN, for we, as people, are strongly
In sympathy with any right act that
has for it's purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for.
get that we seek the good of all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS public speaker lately
said: "The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson. that left War
rem dying on the slopes of Bunker
Hill, was not more outrageous than
the conditions that closed shop
would force upon the community.
These men burst into rebellion when
the king did but touch their pockets
Imagine if you can their indignant pro-
test had he sought to prohibit or
restrict their occupation or determine
the conditions under which they
should earn their livelihood" and to
assault, beat and murder them, blow
up their houses and poison their food
il they did not submit.
The public should also remember
that good, true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
honest, law-abiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are de-
nounced, but when you hear union
man 'holler" because the facts are
made public, he has branded himself
as either one of the lawbreakers or
! sympathizer, and therefore with the
| mind of the lawbreaker and likely to
| become one when opportunity offers.
| That is one reason employers decline
| to hire such men.

A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know if Mr.. Post
would "lxeep still'' if they would call
off the boycott on Postum and Grape
Nuts.
This is the reply: "The labor trust
has seen fit to try to ruin our business
because we would not join its criminal
conspiracy. We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor
union plan in that We do not force
people to strike, picket, boycott, az
sault, blow up property or commit
murder.
We do not pay thugs 500 to break in
the ribs of any man who tries to sup
port his family nor $50 for an eye
knocked out.
We try to show our plain, honest
regard for sturdy and Independent
worlSmen by paying the highest wages
in the state.
We have steady, unvarying 10.
spect for the law-abiding, peaceable
union man, and most earnest desire
to see him gain power enough to
purge the unions of their criminal
practices, that have brought down upon
them the righteous denunciation Of q
long suffering and outraged public, but
| we will not fawn, truckle, bend the
knee, wear the hated collar of white
slavery, the union label, nor prostitute
our American citizenship under "or.

iron shod heel the freedom of our broth
ers.
You would gag us with a silver bar
and muffle the appeal to the American
people to harken to the cries for
bread of the little children whose
faithful fathers were beaten to death
while striving to earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed
in throwing our people out of work
and driving us from business, but you
cannot wrench from us that priceless
jewel our fathers fought for and which
every true son guards with his life.
