Hint For Book Lenders.

A book borrowers album is the de
vice which n woman who has a fine
library has employed in order that she
may keep track of her books and tina
her friends may not be delinquent ir

ing her books. but was far from pleased
in punching her friends up for theil
return. Now when a friend asks the
loan of a book she acquiesces readily
enough. but requests the borrower t.
write in the album his or her name
and the date on which the book is Dor
rowed. On returning it the borrower
is asked to comment on the book an(
initial it. This album always Is KEEP

that she had been called upon to give
her reason for not a~cquiescing in
Maurice Ankeney's belief that they
were made for each other, and this
time she wanted it to be final.
They had just turned the corner into
her home street. Jean fastened her
steps as she spoke, with a little laugh
of Impotence.
Maurice Aakeney looked at her first

He continued his scrutiny of her face
as a smart trap with a man and wo

woman--a stoutish blond with a moun

was driving.
The warm color that came to Jeans
cheeks as she returned the mans rec
ognition deepened as the trap rolled
past, for she knew that Maurice was
watching her, and she felt the new
strange intentness in his gaze.
AS for Ankeney, his expression sud
denly became a mixture of calmness
and stern determination. "I'll do it.!
he exclaimed. And for this apparently
eccentric remark he was rewarded by
an electrifying look Of inquiry from
a pair of dark eyes.

Phillips shrugged his shoulders and
went bis way. Deep in his heart her
desertion hurt, but with several big
operations pending he could not afford
to waste time. He shut his ears to the
talk of his associates. but as the days
went on and Dan and Mabel did not
appear to ask parental forgiveness his
anxiety grew. He had supposed that
when the honeymoon was over they
would come back. He was almost
tempted to delay his trip to Camar.
But there was no one else in the firm

easy matter. He is only dazzled by her

this emphatic announcement her blush

"All right. l might as we'll die one

In the, days that followed Jean Boyce
had q new experience. Maurice An

before. and she had missed him. a COIL
dition she had not thought possible.
Still there was the counteracting an
aoyance tof Harold Buckley and the
heiress. It 10 true. she never realized
that she cared for Buckley until she
found that he was out Of her reach.
But jeans self analysis could go no
deeper than this. and her state of mind
became chaotic ice more, when one
afternooa Harold Buckley called.
Jeans resentment was not wholly
dispelled by Buckeyes keenly correct
valuation Of the heiress. "She was

lean interpreted this last remark, "a

by his confidence. Still she felt graft
fed By her triumph in bringing him
back. She did not understand until
afterward why his next remark
uuenched her elation.
"She has Maurice Ankeney on her

G.. F. Callister, one Of the imported
thugs brought here by the Steel Trust
to break the strike Of the ore dock
workers, and later used to protect the
property Of the company between Du-
1uth and Proctor, brutally assaulted
two young men with a revolver while
they were watching the auto races last
Saturday afternoon.
1t seems that the assaulted were
watching the races from the tracks
Of the railway company, and a num-
Der of people In the vicinity were
jeering the "Pinkerton emplnoye" be-
cause of his unpopular position. He
ordered the boys to move, and when
they did not move quickly he
prounced upon them, and taking his
concealed weapon from his pocket
he began to use it upon their heads,
with the result that one OF the boys
is suffering from a broken nose, and
the other from a bruised Uranium.
Officers at the races saw the as
sault and Immediately placed Callister
under arrest. He put up $25, bail, and
appeared before the court Monday
morning. He plead not guilty, and
his trial was set for Wednesday after
noon. He failed to appear at the trial
