"Had trouble with sis?" Archie re-
garded Deering with sympathetic
gaze. Deering nodded They were
good chums, these two. A couple of
years before Deering had talked Mrs.
Shelby into taking Archie out of the
Buster Brown suits he detested, and
since then Archie had been Vance
behring's sworn ally.
But even Archie could not help much
with Lefty Shelby. At heart Lefty
loved Deering. but she was not to be
easily won, and, though Vance had
proposed score of times, she had
turned aside the question without Civ
ing decided negative.
Lefty was only nineteen, and she had
formed theory that it would be fool
ish to marry early.
81 like you,' she admitted to Vance,
'but you see girl who marries SO
young loses an awful lot Of fun. None
of the boys pays any attention to a
young matrOn."
IF you really loved me-" he. re-
preached, you would not care for
their attentions.'
my dear Vance," she smiled, unless
l had some attention paid me, how
could learn to value your devotion ?
1t is through contrasts that l shall
learn to appreciate you BEST
Deering gritted his teeth. In the face
of such arguments he was powerless.
Somehow Letty's way Of quietly set
ting aside his protests was aggravat-
Ing in the extreme. They could not
even quarrel comfortably, for she had
way Of quietly retiring when the ar
gument grew too strong for her and
throwing the blame upon him in a way
that was maddening
That was just what happened. She
had swept from the room with an i'm
perious air and a remark that she
should be glad to see Mr.. Deering
again when he had a better command
of his temper. That she was at the
moment sobbing out her regret in the
security of her own room was thing
he could not know.
He was preparing to let himself out
when Archie strolled into the room in

eyes filled.
But for all of that box of flowers
and a note preceded his arrival, and
Thursday evening found hisl in the
Shelby parlor and not at all happ!3 lover
the fact. Lefty wore her most i'm
penetrable armor of reserve, and the
slightest suggestion of reconciliation
was met by a frigid silence that was
most depressing.
Mr. Shelby had gone out Of town,
and Mrs. Shelby was calling on a
neighbor Archie was safely tucked
away in bed, and they had the lower
part Of the house pretty much to them
selves.
Suddenly from the basement came
the sound Of pistol shots and frighten-
ed cries. followed an instant later by
the appearance of Archie in pink and
white pajamas and bare feet.
Il slipped downstairs to get drink
Of milk" he yelled. land three men
fired their guns at me! Go down and
kill them, Vance,
a wink from Archie conveyed a deal
of meaning, and Vance headed for the
stairs leading to the cellar. Lefty sat
in the parlor with her fingers in her
ears and could not possibly have heard
Arches whispered Injunction.
BILLY Widner's pistol is at the head
Of the stairs" he explained as he pat
tered out into the dining room after
Deering.
Feeling half ashamed of the subter-
fuge, Deering carried out Arches OBJ
vious scheme. The house was some
distance from the street, and his ar
tistic stimulation Of fight attracted no
attention. Archie was doing a solemn
ly ecstatic dance in the dining room
when Vance came back up the stairs.
Il saw 'em from the kitchen running
across the back yard" Archie explain
ed. Nov, stick to it,
Lefty shrleked as Vance came into
the dining room and threw herself Sob
bling upon his neck.
II was sure they had killed your she
cried. 1T was awful, Vance!"
did you care so much p he asked as
his arms went around her. did you
really care, little womanY'
II didn't want you to be killed." she
sobbed.
"And you do love me? he insisted.
"Was that why you cared 50 much?"
Il guess it was" she confessed. Il
do love you, Vance, but it wasn't good
for you to tell you So"
1T was the best thing in the world"
he insisted. 1--WE been two years try
ing to get you to confess, dear. Don't
you think that my patience ought to be
rewarded with 'yes?'"
Perhaps" she admitted. Suppose
they had killed you, Vance"
There was no danger" he laughed
shamefacedly as he bent and kissed
her. consoling himself with the reflec-
ton that all is fair in love and war
1T was not half as bad as you think"
anyhow" she dimpled, 1T showed
me just how much loved you"
"And that Is all important" confirm
ed Vance.

blissful defiance of his bedtime. His
sharp eyes quickly sensed the situation,
and he sat down to talk it over with an
odd assumption of elderly dignity that
would have been amusing had Deering
been less upset.
Archie had mixed more with his
elders than with children of his own
age and had acquired an odd faculty
of observation. Now he swung his
stocky legs to and fro from the high
est chair he could find and regarded
Deering with the impression of owl-like
wisdom.
You see," he explained, Lefty is
| odd. l heard mother say so. When
she gets mad the only way is to get
her scared. Then she'll come around

on her and then grabbed him quick.
She was frightened and thought

gave me candy and said was dear"
Il don't believe that it would work
in my case," said Deering, with q
smile.
"I'll fix it for you," offered Archie,
''if you'll make me one promise"
whats that?" demanded Deering.
you remember when Tommy Null

wear white satin pants and hold up her
train?"
| II remember the ornate Master Null

Arches pointed remarks at the time Of
the wedding.
"If fix it so you can marry Lefty
don't want that sort of thing done to
me-"
Its a PROMISE" said Deering.
"Shake hands"
Archie shook hands and slipped from
the chair. II guess you'd better be
going now" he said Hospitality. you

Archie solemnly superintended vance's
departure and then disappeared down
cellar. 1t was nearly II when at last
his sister remembered that he was sup
posed to be in bed at 100 and found
him innocently reading in the dining
room.

The Renardites of Jamaica.

There Is probably no other race in
the world so enthusiastic over religion
and who enter so heartily into its
forms and ceremonies as the negroes.
They seem to lose all thought of their
surroundings and throw themselves
body and soul into their own peculiar
forms of worship.
In Jamaica there is a very large
religious sect called, after their leader,
Benardites. Four times a year the fol-
lowers of Bernard are baptized in the
water Of the river Mona. Hundreds
Of these religious enthusiasts meet on
the banks of the river before day
break, and as many as 600 have been
dipped in single morning. The price
of a dipping is a shilling, so that at
the rate Of 600 quarter the income
to the leader and his church Is a tidy
little sum.
After the baptism the freshly cleans
ed and purified of sin form a line, and
with gold embroidered banners and
silken streamers waving above the
long line of men and women they
march, singing. to the church. which is
situated short distance back from the
river. Hundreds of these negroes
make up the long swaying and wind
ing procession. which sings as it moves
and eventually enters the church doors
or distributes itself outside near win
dows and doors.-New York Herald.

MORE WORK READY
FOR Employees OF
SHOPS IN PADUCAH

The large amount of work await
ing the employees of the l. c..
shops at Paducah, when they return
to work Wednesday. is taken as the
best indication that there will be
little change in either the size of the
force or the number of hours they
will work. In addition to the ac-
emulation of bad order cars during
the week the shops have been closed,
an increase in the volume of business
handled out of Paducah by the rail-
road company is bringing a like ins
crease to the amount Of work enact
ed at the shops. Unless some of the
work that is always sent to Paducah
is ordered to Burnsides or else
where, there seems to be little prob
ability of any change being made
that will affect the employees here.
More men were being worked in the
different departments this morning
than at any previous time since the
close down Tuesday evening.

PLEASE JAPANESE
and PHILIPPINES

With America and Finding

SOMEBODY IS CONSIDERING II

Washington. Dec. 30.-The posi-
bility of settlement of the differ
ences between the United States and
Japan on basis never heretofore
publicly suggested is said to be inn
minent.
The scheme, in which the Philip
pines are involved, Is said on high
Authority to have the Endorsement Of
Baron Kaneko, who Is probably as
close a student of relations between
the United States and Japan as any
man in either country. and the belief
| is entertained in well-Informed cir
cles that IL the new Japanese am
bassador, Takahira. comes here there
will be negotiations along the line of
the new proposal.
Briefly, the new proposal amounts
| to sort of commercial annexation
of the Philippines to Japan without
a political annexation. II Is said to
have been considered favorably by a
few statesmen of both countries and
regarded as worth serious discussion.
The scheme is based on frank
recognition of the fact that two alien
races and civilizations ought not to
he unnecessarily brought into compe-
tition. Objection to competition
with Filipinos makes free trade be-
tween the United States and the
Islands impossible. Likewise, objec-
ton by American labor TO COMPETE
ton with Japanese labor causes the
trouble about japanese immigration.
So II is proposed to make a treaty
under which Japan and the Philip
pine islands~will admit each others
products free. Japan will furnish
the outlet to Filipino products under
this free trade arrangement. which
the United States has been unwilling
to grant

and all three parties will be bene-
flied.
| The scheme, of course, is expected.
Especially to appeal to people who do
not want free trade with the archi-
pelago and are fearful that 1t will
come some time or other. In return
for this concession. the japanese. 1t
is said, would agree to everything
necessary in the way of preventing
immigration of their people to the
UNITED States.
The scheme is a most curious one.
II is said to be unique In the islands.
