The next day, as the father and
son entered the Mainfroy's parlor,
they surprised Helen arranging
her flowers. She had not looked
for them so soon, and had not
heard the carriage, and supposing
herself alone for some time yet,
she was still dressed in her loose
morning dress, her arms bare and
her hair simply tied with a ribbon.
Nj. de Gace uttered smothered
exclamation at the lovely picture
she made among her flowers.
Mercy me, let me run awayw
she cried, seeing them stand sud
denly before her.
Before you go, please let me
introduce my SON. said the baron,
smiling, "and please forgive us
for coming so soon. We really
couldn't wait"
Blushing rosy red, Helen lifted
her eyes to those of the young
man, standing so tall and straight
beside his father. Their looks
met and fingered. A moment la
ter she had disappeared closing
the door behind her.
"Great heavenw cried Robert,
"how charming she is, and how

father.

then Mr.. Mainfroy entered.

NJ. de Gace looked at his son,
whose eyes were shining brightly, |
and, without single muscle of
his face betraying him, he felt the
agony in his heart.
"Thank you, sir" he said quiet
ly, "for your kind words about

CARELESS CHAUFFEURS
The Chicago Officials Are Getting After Them
 With Sharp Stick.

Chicago, Feb. 1-City and park authorities united yesterday in de- termined attempt to stop reckless automobile driving in Chicago's streets.
 An Investigation of the violations of the ordinances which have been going on with impunlty during the winter months has opened up start ling field of inquiry.
 Police records show that ninety per cent. of the 40 instances of persons being killed and maimed by automo- piles during the past year can be laid directly to the careless and criminal chauffeurs sent out by the garages and automobile stations as experts"
 Charges are made by the police that these chauffeurs use every trick to evade the law from giving false addresses after they have run down a pedestrian, that is. if they stop at all. to using grease and dust in efforts to disguise their numbers. They place numbers out of sight under the ma chimes, knock of the enamel, dent them, and hang them upside down, in wilful and impudent violation of all the laws written on this subject.
 Despite the police precautions fast running has been a feature of the open winter on all the bouleyaris. With 1000 automobiles running in the city next summer the authorities arc preparing for a battle royal with the violators. and already changes in the ordinances are being advocated.
