regretted that Pearl had conided to her a secret that was not to be inn parted to a third person. Fortunately, their waltz was on, and Tom forgot his inquiry.
 Throughout the evening Rose watched with interest the division of the greater share of Pearls dances between the tall. broad-shouldered man in whose eyes @as a world of silent ,adoration, and the gay, hand some youth who danced with such reckless abandon.
 Tt could hardly be expected, SUD- pose" cogitated Rose, that a girl so young and inexperienced as Pearl would make the sensible choice and take Stephen. Still Pearl is wise be- yond her years. wonder if she will tell them what she told me. It should make no difference to a man in love, but I imagine Lionel will shy at the disclosure but Stephen, so capable of the grand passion. ought not to mind anything"
 A few days after the ball Pearl came to pay visit to Rose, who proposed on a rainy afternoon that they tele- phone Tom to come and divert them.
 Whom shall ask him to bring with him, stephen or Lionel?" she asked, turning to Pearl.
 Both" replied the sagacious maiden. with an enchanting smile.
 "The Lady or the Tiger" thought Rose, as she gave Tom his instruc- tions.
 The three men promptly responded to the summons and when Rose was serving tea, Tom casually remarked to Pearl:
 You have come to the city in my absence, Miss Craig"
 Yes" she replied. You have been away two years. haven't you? and my guardian. Mrs. Weston. only moved here a year ago"
 "I believe Rose said that your par ents are trsvelinG?"

NST the attractiveness of the
 T summer girl.
 The fashion writers tell US more or less about capes, but we confess we personally have not come across very many. We see plenty of thin redingotes, numbers of boleros and short coats, but so far the capes have been few and far between, even among elderly ladies. They seem to have vanished with the bonnet-per- haps both will come to life again.
 There are pretty cape-like wraps worn, and maybe these are what are meant by the arbiters, but surely they differ much from the old ones we re- member as coming under this name. But, come to think of it, they are somewhat after the fashions pictured in the old journals, sort of bertha-man- tie affairs; and we notice with the sus- bender dresses, instead of mannish straps, soft folds edged with a ruff1e, forming not only suppositious sup port for the skirt, but also graceful, quaint wrap.
 There are exquisite little lace and linen coats, the former suitable for various costumes, and therefore not an extravagant investment Our illustra- tions give two models, one a bolero and the other pretty surplice effect. Such a wrap as either of these trans forms plain gown into dressy, sum- mery costume, and adds the last toucn to light, sheer frock, The hat worn with these should be on the lingerie order, or may be an all-black hat of lace of gauzy material. And, by the way, the all-black hat, after period of retirement, is returning to public fa- vor. We noticed very pretty cos tune recently, worn by brunette of the clear-pallor type; short white linen suit, black patent leather shoes, a smallish black ship hat with no color about it. It looks cool and simple.
 Which reminds us to make declara- tion that the best dressed person of a hot day is the one that looks cool and comfortable, who is minus fuss and feathers. Bear this in mind when mak- ing ready the midsummer finery. The

it is a shoe which always looks dressy. If one can afford but a single pair for best" we advise patent leather by all means. Hose matching the costume may be worn with these. and if the latter are made with the straps now fashionable the light stockings will give probably as good effect as though light shoes had teen indulged in

AT Emporia, Kansas, Santa Fe de-
tectives are trying to find train wreck.
ers who made repeated attempts TO
wreck Santa Fe trains No. 4 and No.
8 and fast mail No. lis. Thirteen ties
were placed on the track. Each train
struck the ties. The passengers were
much frightened, but no one was in
jured, as none Of the trains were de
rallied. It is supposed that the train
wreclers, after failing to wreck one
train, again piled the ties so the next
passenger train would hit them. The
worst shock was sustained by No,

wreck passenger train No. 0 was made
a month ago at the same place. No
clue has been obtained.

80" P"P''' Wv HUTCHINSON NEWS, re-
iates a personal "reminiscences OF Jim
Hurley who has become general man.
ager Of the Santa Fe. Mr.. Morgan, In
his characteristic manner, draws some
apt conclusions from the story OF Mr..
Hurley's career, and points with pride
10 his early association with him. Mr..
Hurley's rise Is an incentive for every
man TO do the best he an. Mr.. Nor
gan says:
something like a quarter OF a cen.
Jury ago the editor of the News was
a small boy, jim Hurley was a big
boy In the same vittle Kansas town,
Cottonwood Falls. Jim drove the bus,
and You know the bus driver Is always
a great man 10 the boys, Using the
knowledge gained since that time |
suspect that Jim was working for his
board and about a dollar a week, but
10 my eyes he was a great man as
he cracked his whip over the pony
team that hauled the bus from Strong
City to Cottonwood Falls. Everybody
liked Jim and although the position of
driver was Of high dignity he never
lorded it over the rest of us boys like
most drivers do. / remember that
Jim was reliable. At that time the
trains nearly all came and went in
the night. So anyone going away left
a call for Jim to get them. | re-
member that the caution used TO be
given to he sure and tell Jim as he
never forgot. For a number Of years
| rode back and forth between the
town and the station with various
and sundry drivers. jim was one.
Of the few who always took an inter
est in your catching the train-and
he never missed 1t. Jim never got
behind and had to lick his team and
scare his passengers, | don't recollect
that Jim was an angel and | presume
he had his troubles and faults but to
my memory the characteristics he pos
sessed at that time were cheerfulness
and get-there-activeness. His job was
a hard one for he met all trains and
it was nearly two miles to the station
with bad roads and a rickety rig.
Il went away to school and lost
sight of jim. He had made some ac-
quaintance with a railroad agent or
brakeman and got a better job. Soon
| heard of him and he was going up,
frequently two steps at a time. Now
he is general manager of the AtchiSon,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad and rides
in his private car through the station
at Strong City where he and | have
waited for many a train, sitting IN the
old bus telling boy stories and talking
boy talk. And all men who have ever
been boys will appreciate this fact
to my boy mind at that time Jim Hur
ley. the general manager and dryer OF
tlS AOttOuW OOu uIlS ~ otIth5 CiAS
Bus, was just as big a man as MI,
James f. Hurley, general manager OF
the A. T. & S. F. r. r.
Il could point out the moral to the
boys of the present generation if
did not fear they are like the boys
Of my time, who hated stories with
morals. I could tell of the boys who
did not have to work at all and who
now would like a job with Jim. l
could point out the fact that Jim al
ways made good in the place he was
In and was ready for the next higher
when the time came. But will not
moralize or preach. will simply say
that Jim Hurley is a good railroad
manager Just as he was a good bus
driver"

doors.
Meanwhile Mrs. Briggs hurried along.
To q neighbor she confided: I'm in a
hurry to meet the committee at the
GENTRY. You know We arrange things
before the p'rade gets there"
But Mrs. Briggs did not confide to
anybody her first errand.
In a lonely part of the grounds was
a poorly-kept lot, with few leaning
headstones, struggling weeds and a rusty
railing. According to the inscriptions,
in spite of neglect, they rested in peace
all of the Briggs family for genera
tions-if little cared-for, caring less.
y Mrs. Briggs looked cautiously about
before entering. Then from her bas-
ket she drew the richest bunch of roses
and laid it on the central mound, against
\ the; stone whereon was cut the one

Berdtng over to arrange the BIOS
SONS, she spoke half aloud You were
good to me for years, Mother Briggs;

said, and, looking up, she saw her hus-
band bending over the gate.
There was an awkward pause, then
