G.P. Burleson, Prest-in Charge
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Work in this city last evening occurred
the death of the youngest child of MIR.
and Mrs. Ed. Losee, of Hampden. The
little one, a baby boy of six months old,
was taken down with an attack of
whooping cough some time ago, which
later turned to lung trouble. Its serious
illness decided Mrs Losee to bring her
baby to the home of her sister in Lang
don, hoping that better medical attend
ance might aid the chances of the little
ones recovery, but in spite of everything
possible being done death came as re.
lief to the sufferer last night The
warmest sympathy of the community is
extended to the bereaved family in their
hour of sorrow.
Sunday at about the hour of noon
deaths angel entered the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. D. Milne, of this city, and
removed from that home circle the flower
of the family, their youngest daughter,
Annie, an infant of one year and three
months in age. The immediate cause
of death was pneumonia, following a
lingering sickness in which whooping
cough had weakened the little ones
strength considerably leaving her un-
able to withstand the disease which
followed. The loss that the grief strick.
en- parents have been called upon to
bear brings forth heart felt sympathy
from friends far and near. When death
takes the fairest and sweetest treasurers
from our lives the first impulse is one of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, but with the eye
of faith "Hope sees star and listening
love can hear the rustic Of the wings"
At the funeral held Tuesday afternoon
from the Presbyterian church large
concourse of friends gathered to attend
the service and accompany the remains
to their last resting place in Lebanon
cemetery.

Eve heard him call to the coachman.
Then she heard no more.
He had leaned out of the carriage
with the intention of looking onward
toward the cause of the delay. In
stead, by thai magnetic attraction that
undoubtedly exists, he looked directly
in front of him at the group of people

CHAPTER XVIII.

n lODER'S plan of action was ar
rived at before he reached
Trafalgar square. The facts
- of the case were simple. Chill
cote had left an discriminating telegram
on the bureau in the morning room at
Grosvenor square. By an unlucky
chance Lillian Astrupp had been shown
manned alone until the moment that
Eve, either by request or by accident,
had found her there. The facts re-
solved themselves into one question:
What use had Lillian made Of those
solitary moments? Without deviation,
Loder's mind turned toward one
answer. Lillian was not the woman
to lose an opportunity, whether the
space at her command was long or
short.
So convinced was he that, reaching
Trafalgar square, he stopped and
hailed a hanson.
"Cadogan gardens!" he called. "No
49,"
The moments seemed very few be-
fore the cab drew up beside the curb
and he caught his second glimpse Of
the enameled door with its silver fit
tings. Instantly he pressed the bell the
door was opened by Lillian's discreet,
deferential manservant.
"1s Lady Astrupp at homer" he
asked.
The man looked thoughtful. "Her
ladyship lunched at home, sir"- he be.
gan cautiously.
But Loder interrupted him. TASK her
to see me-" he said laconically.
The servant expressed no surprise.
His only comment was to throw the
door wide.
IF you'll wait in the white room,
SIR" he said, "I'l inform her ladyship."
Chilcote was evidently a frequent and
a favored visitor.

the "~pureau-put the telegram wasn't
there!"
"Gone?"
Eyes, gone. That's why I've come
straight here"
Fof a moment they confronted each
other. Then, moved by a sudden i'm
pulse, Loder pushed Chilcote aside
and crossed the room. An instant lat
er the opening and shutting Of doors,
the hasty pulling out Of drawers and
moving of boxes came from the bed
room.
Chilcote, shaken and nervous, stood
for a minute where his companion had
left him. At last, impelled by curios-
ity, he too crossed the narrow passage
and entered the second oom
The full light streamed in through
the open window; the keen spring air
blew freshly across the housetops, and
on the window sill a band Of grimy,
joyous sparrows twittered and preened
themselves. In the middle of the room
stood Loder. His coat was off, and
round him OH chairs and floor lay an
array of waistcoats, gloves and ties.
For a space Chilcote stood In the door
way staring at him, then his lips part
ed and he took a step forward.
"Loder," he said anxiously, "Loder,
what are you going to do"
Loder turned. His shoulders were
stiff, his face alight with energy. Pm

CHAPTER NXvI.

t~1HE next morning at 8 o'clock,
and again without breakfast,
" Loder covered the distance be-
~ tween Grosvenor square and
Cliford's inn. He left ChiIcote's house
hastily-with a haste that only an ur-
gent motive could have driven him to
adopt. His steps were quick and IN
even as he traversed the Intervening
streets; his shoulders lacked their de-
cisive pose, and his pale face was
marked with shadows beneath the
eye~s-shadows that bore witness to the
sleepless night spent in pacing Chill
cote's vast and lonely room. By the
curious effect Of circumstances the
likeness between the two men had
never been more significantly marked
than on that morning of April 10,
when Loder walked along the pave
ments crowded with early workers
and brisk with insistent news vendors
already alive to the value of last
nights political crisis.
The irony Of this last element in the
days concerns came to him fully when
one newsboy, more energetic than his
fellows. thrust a paper in front of him.
Sensation in the 'ouse, sir! Speech
by Mr.. Chilcote! Government defeat!"
For a moment Loder stopped and his
face Redeemed. The tide of emotions
Still ran strong. His hand went in
stinctively to his pocket; then his lips
set. He shook his head and walked on.
With the same hard expression about
his mouth, he turned into Clifford's
ian, passed through his own doorway
and mounted the stairs.
This time there was no milk can on
the threshold Of his rooms and the door
yielded to his pressure without the
need Of a key. With a strange sensa,
ton of reluctance he walked into the
narrow passage and paused, uncertain
which room to enter first. As he stood
hesitating a voice from the sitting
o settled the question.

"The morning room?" Loder sudden
b stepped back from the table. "The
morning room? With your telegram
lying on the %bureau?"
His sudden speech and movement
startled Chilcote. The blood rushed to
his face, then died out, leaving it ashen.
Don't do that, Loderv" he cried. "I-I
can't bear it,"
With an immense effort Loder con-
trolled himself. Sorry he said. go

Humor ana Philosophy

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

Prejudice is rarely on speaking terms
with reason.
If one has plenty of friends, there is
lots to talk about.
1t is as foolish to rejoice too much
as it is unwise to mourn too long.
A contented spirit is a beautiful
thing, but it can't be counted among
the assets of the world.
An artistic loafer makes a hit with
some people, but they don't pay him a
salary for it.
Paying compliments on insufficient

following his dismissal Of
~ Chilcote found him again in his
sitting room.
He sat at the center table surrounded
by a cloud of smoke; a pipe was be-
tween his lips and the mornings
newspapers lay in a heap beside his
elbow. To the student Of humanity
his attitude was intensely interesting.
1t was the attitude of a man tram
meled by the knowledge of his
strength. Before him as he sat smok-
ing stretched a future of absolute
nothingness. and toward this blank flu
ture II portion of his consciousness
a struggling and as yet scarcely SEN
tient portion-pushed him inevitably;
while another-a vigorous, persistent,
human portion-cried to him to pause.
So actual, so clamorous, was this silent
mental combat that had ragged unceas-
ingly since the moment of his renun-
citation that at last in physical response
to it he pushed back his chair.
'It's too late" he said aloud. Pm a
fool. It's too late"
Then abruptly, astoniShingly, as
though in direct response to his spoken
thought, the door opened and Chilcote
walked into the room.
Slowly Loder rose and stared at him.
The feeling he acknowledged to him.
self was anger, but below the anger a
very different sensation ran riotously
strong. And it was in time to this Sec
ond feeling, this sudden, lawless joy,
that his pulses beat as he turned a cold
face on the intruder.
"Well?" he said sternly.
But Chilcote was impervious to stern.
ness. He was mentally shaken and dis.
tressed, though %outwardly irreproacha.
BILE, even to the violets in the lapel OF
his coat-the violets that for a week
past had been brought each morning
to the door Of Loder's rooms by Ewes
maid. For II second, as Loder's eyes
rested on the flowers, a sting Of ungov
ernable jealousy shot through him
then as suddenly it died away, super
seeded by another feeling-a feeling OF
new, spontaneous joy. Worn by Chill
cote or by himself, the flowers were
symbol!
"Well?" he said again in a gentlel
voice.
Chilcote had walked to the table an(
