the prize OF a lottery OF love in which
Marcus d. Feather. a pioneer mer-

for his patriarchal beard. Is one OF
the hopeful investors. Playing against
Mr.. Feather in the contest are two
wealthy rivals. one an Eastern banker

Mr.. Feather has been given marked

Miss Laube positively refuses to de-
eide until that time has elapsed. But
Mr.. Feather and the other two suitors,

complain, for Miss Laube claims that
Senator Clark is still awaiting a reply
