Caverly. This mans father nearly

Now comes his son, who not only fol

but he clandestinely wins my daugh

''Those Newtons always were greedy

Caverly shook his head. Not yet,
he explained. ''Time enough to tel
him when he is ruined"
Trust to me-" said TAFT confidently

Caverly went out chuckling The
night before Emory Newton had ha(
the audacity to demand Belle Caverly's
hand in marriage. He made light Of

from the house, and now he was
scheming with TAFT to ruin the boy.
For week or two Newton did no
suspect that his brokers were betray

were common enough on Wan street
and he simply seemed to have strucl
al unusually bad one; that was all
It was Belle who gave him the hin

prices being lower they TOOK an up
ward move. If it was Caverly behind
the scheme, it meant finish fight un-
less he wanted to quit the street.
Newton did not need to speculate.
His income was ample. but he liked
the excitement, and he had inherited
his fathers stubbornness. He would
not be driven from the field. He took
his losses placidly and smiled at every
fresh blow.
If Caverly found his revenge expen-
sive, he at least found it worth while
Through Tait he obtained from New
toms broker an accurate account Of th,
losses sustained. and The sUlu Nas

But even Caverly almost baked
when Newton went in for P. and n.
This was Caverly's pet stock. For al
most year he had acquired blocks Of
it here and there until it looked as
though at the next election he might
gain control.
Newton sold put at ten points rise.
To depress it some Of Caverly's hold
ings must be offered at lower price.
1t was stiff fight. Most spectators
held off, but there was some one who
eagerly bought at the low price. Seven
thousand shares were sold before New
ton dropped from the market. He had
promised to buy it at 97h. 1t had
dropped to S1A. He stood to lose, and
Caverly chuckled.
Cant even win on p. and NJ" he
jeered to TAFT II guess that ought to
finish him.
"Siegrist &, P1att want that P. ard
n. stock" said the head clerk, inter-
rupting. 1--WE have none"
"Of course not" agreed TAFT Didn't
suppose they wanted actual delivery"
"Well, they do" said the clerk. Mr.
Slegrist'is here himself, and he refused
check for the profits; wants to know
II we keep bucket shop"
Send him in," said TAFT in a husky
voice. 1t looked like trouble. After
Newton had been trimmed the stock
had been permitted to rise a few points.
! TAFT had supposed that check to COW
err the increase would be sufficient II
Siegrist insisted upon the actual de-
livery Of the stock and he could neither
buy nor borrow, he would be expelled
from the exchange for ''bucketing" the
,, stock. Before the broker entered he
turned to Caverly.
You will have to make good with
your stock" he snarled. eff you don't,
I'll tell just how it happened"
Caverly knew that if he offered stock
with no intention of letting it go he
was in the same boat with his broker,
and in the end he had to send over to
his office for the necessary shares.
There was heated session between
the two men after Siegrist left, but
that did not bring back the stock. The
registry books closed the following
day, and Caverly had lost control by
some 1000 shares which he could not
possibly replace in time for the meet
ing.

Obituary..

George Kern was born in Burling-
ton, Colo, June IL, 1894, and de-
parted this life at Lamar, Colo,
March 16, 1907, aged II years, Z
months, 4 days. Besides his father
and mother, he leaves four brothers
and two sisters to mourn his loss,
two brothers and one sister having
proceeded him to the better world.
The funeral services were conduct
I'd at the home by Rev. Shultz, who
delivered very touching discourse
in German, assisted by Rev. Knucky
Of Fairview. A procession of over q
quarter Of mile in length followed
the remains to its last resting place
in the Riverside cemetery at Lamar
The pail bearers were Green Bows
OF, Frank Tweedie, Bruce Drope AL
bert Byers, Harry Low Otto Shrader.
George was a bright boy and was
studying hard to pass the Sth grade.
He was sick only a short time, from
Monday till Saturday, but his terrible
suffering reconciled us, His sick
nsss was of peculiar nature, prob
ably due to poison.
"A precious one from us has gone,
voice We loved is stilled:
Aplaos Is vacant in our home,
which never can DO filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled.
The boon his love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven

A very distinct advantage about
motoring is that 1t does not give one

sends one home as hungry as a hunt

Used by the doctor. 1t is pointed out
in a contemporary that while all the
good effects Of working up an appe-
lite are produced by long drive in
a motor. yet the amount of food re-
quired to satisfy what seems to be
ones huge hunger is actually very
small. The air itself feeds one. and
air neither upsets ones digestive ap-

Penalties Of Fame.

backs" says a woman writer of popu-
lar books. Frequent requests for
contributions Of ones books to char
fly bazars are a tax upon good n

ter how flattering such demands may
be, they are decidedly expensive"
She went on to say that should she
crafty all the persons who wrote to
her for copies of her books, because
they could not afford to buy them"
and respond to the constant calls to
devote the children of her brain to

to $500 a year. without counting the
time los. in wrapping. directing and
