-Baraboo Republic: Three camels
hitched abreast to a lumber wagon
was the novel sight on the streets of
Baraboo this afternoon. A number
of Ringling's circus trainers were
out breaking the large camels to
harness work for next season. This
is a reminder that the people of this
city have an opportunity that's not
given to other cities in the way of
such sights. To see reindeer, camels,
zebra and such creatures driven the
same as horses is rare thing and
eau only be seen in Baraboo. The
camels appeared contented with
their lot, but it is possible that the
red harness was the reason.

A convieted Insurance official.

DR.. Walter R. Gillette, former vice
president of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, who was recently convicted
of perjury in the New York courts, has
had remarkable career. From an OBJ
scure position in the medical depart
ment he became general manager and
finally second only to McCurdy in the
affairs of that great institution.
DR.. Gillette served in the civil war as
surgeon and later was connectel
with the New York postof1ice. While
there under Postmaster James he
worked out the plan for the first civil
service system adopted in any federal
institution. His success attracted the
attention of President Winston, then
head OF the Mutual Life, and he be-
came a member of the medical staff.
From that time his rise was rapid.

Clifford Pinchot, the government for

travelled 5000 miles, reports an alarm

"In twenty years." says Mr.. Pinchot,
"the timber supply in the United

In sounding his warning Mr.. Pinchot
urged that the danger of the situation

At this mention Of Christian. Bertl

At this mention of Christian, Bertha
grew crimson. but no one took any no
tice of 1t. The idea of Christian mar
rying Bertha had never cached Max
Schippheim; perhaps he was too clever
to believe in it though his seeming
blindness was always ascribed to the
supposition that such a thing as a
love affair was quite beyond the limits
of his understanding.
Then o mean positively that you
refuse to come and meet the Auchin-
lees?"
Positively. no; but l would rather

you would rather meet some fac
tory hands, l suppose" and Lady Mu-
riel looked more thar a little spiteful.
He fixed his eyes on her somewhat
inquiringly for a second; then he an
swered:
Il do not understand our meaning;
If / habitually associated with my work
people they would scarcely respect me
as a master. 1t would be a grievous
mistake"
The cool logic of his reply irritated
Lady Muriel, but she would not allow
herself to be tempted into saying what
she would afterward regret. so she
changed the subject with adroitness, by
saying:
well. come in to luncheon now you
are up so far, and taste some Rude
sheimer that was sent to Herbert as a
present the other day."
To refuse another invitation, Max
felt would be ungracious, and though
he seldom eat luncheons, yet he ac-
companied them to the house. where

Among the more s%erviceable toques
appropriate for wearing with trim

original design, formed with rows of

SYNOPSIS.

Patty Urske. a pretty 19-year-old
girl. living with her grandmother in the
small factory town of Arundale, Eng
land. is employed at the porcelain fac
tory of Schippheim & Co, of which
Herbert Aston. husband of Lady
Muriel Aston, is a member. Patty
aspires to a life above her present con-
ditions and views with admiring eyes
Lady Muriel as she passes in a car
riage from her home, the Dale House,
two miles out of town. Patty looks
with disfavor upon honest, hardwork-
ing Joe Marks.
Paul Brumeau, a French artist, ar
rives, through The influence of Lady
Muriel. to take charge of the art depart
ment in the factory. Patty's grand
mother dies suddenly. Brumeau dis.
covers that Lady Muriel loves Captain
Christian Meyer, nephew of Mr.. Schipp-
helm, who is staying at Dale House
and that Schippheim is paying atten-
ton to Patty. Joe Marks resents the
presence of Brumeau at Patty's gate
and he and Patty quarrel. Lady
Muriel vainly advises Patty to live
under Mrs. Marks's care.

HAIR DRESSING AS
FASHION DEGREES.

At the present time considerable at
tention is given the art of beautifully
dressing the hair, and not for many
seasons has the hair been dressed bet
ter, nor furnished with more artistic
ornaments. II seems there is no limit
to the amount of ornaments one may
use. providing they are rich-looking
and artistic. But quite often the ar
rangement of decorations is simplicity
itself and more beautiful than gor-
ecu This often occurs where the
ornaments are the pretty crescent
pieces made of fine tulle, flowers and
ribbons.
One very neat piece seen this week
was made of ribbon. The crescent was
formed of miniature forget-me-nots,
each side made fluffy with white tulle
and maiden-hair ferns. This piece was
extremely handsome and s~plendidly
made. 1t rested on a small wire foun-
dalton.
Another graceful ornament consisted
of a pale yellow gauze butterfly poised
on a fold of white and yellow gauze.
The small rosettes at each end were
fastened at the sides of the high
couture.

SIMPLE HEADACHE U z

Nervous headache is soul-torturing
and all the victim a is sleep. and
this restorative is all that is needed.
Nothing will produce sleep more quick
~ than to drink a cup of very hot
milk in which there is a pinch of salt.
Wet a to vel with cold water and place
in g dry one to protect the pillow from
dampness and apply to the back of the
neck and have a warm cloth placed
over the forehead and eyes. Even in a
noisy house, this simple remedy is
soothing and a patient will soon go to
sleep. Usually a person with q ervou
headache will nave cold feet; this must
be remedisd.

SHE LIED ABOUT HER FRIEND.

Dear Miss Doom:
l am a young girl nineteen Years old,
and l was jealous of my pretty girl
friend. She was keeping company with
a young a and one evening I met
him and told him a terrible lot of lies
about her, and got them to separate.
] am very sorry now. Every one used
to pass remarks about how lovely they
look together. Please tell me IL /
should write him a letter and try and
get them reconciled again. I am al
ways wanting to speak to her, and I
know she will never look at me again.
3. S. r.
You have lone both the girl and the
man a great injury, and I would advise
you to exert every energy in reuniting
them. L doubt if there is anything
more contemplate than to lie through
jealousy. You must do all you can to
mend matters. If you want thai girls
friendship / think you will have t o go
to her and confess the whole story.

CHAPTER VIII.

nATTY sat down to her work that
hot August afternoon in any
thing but a contented and pa
tient frame of mind. Her independent
spirit rebelled against Interference.
Great ladies should mind their own
business" she repeated over and over
again, mentally. II would If I was a
great lady. What right has Lady Mu-
riel to come meddling with my affairs
I sha'n't go and live with Mrs. Marks.
Joe is well enough and easy to man
age, but Mrs. Marks-no, I'll leave
Arundale first"
And the thought of leaving Arunda1e
taking her by surprise. as it were, made
her flush up and look so hot all of a
sudden hat the woman working next
her, catching sight of her c~ountenance
for a minute, asked what was the
matter.
Patty did not vouchsafe a reply, but
to her neighbours mind. bent on dis
covery. her red face was explained by
the appearance at that moment of Mr..
Brumeau at the door; the truth, how
ever, being that Patty a not even
perceived him. She was too much en-
crossed in the contemplation of her
own individual history.
What he came in there for no one
could imagine. The chief designer had
nothing in common with these mere
machines there assembled, and had
never been seen in that room before:
but then everything was changed at
Arundale of late, ever since this 'furri-
neer" had come.
He lie not address anyone in par
ticular, but making the tour of the
room he examined the work on which
each woman was engaged, reaching
Patty's place last of all.
1t was a most unusual proceeding.
Mr.. Andrews. the foreman. being the
functionary they all regarded as mas
ter after Mr.. Schippheim. and every
woman in the room left off work to
look around and wonder. while whis-
pers of what does it mean?" had Gull
minated into a buzz by the time Paul
Brumeau had reached the end of the
long table where Patty was sitting.
Arrived there, he leant over her shoul-
der to look at her work, as he had
leant over the others, and while he
was in this position he mad some re-
mark in a very low tone. which no
one heard but herself.
While M. Brumeau had beer slowly
making the circuit of the table. Patty.
10 WnOm MS presence OF absence was
perfectly Indifferent, had recovered her
usual calm aspect. When she heard
whatever it was that in his broken
English he had to communicate to her,
a crimson flush once more rushed over
her face, dying ever her white neck
with its blood-red hue. Not a hand
in that room but saw it, and each one
drew her own conclusion according as
she esteemed Patty more or less highly.
Whether Paul Brumeau had done this
solely to compromise Patty, he himself
only knew; if so he did not stay to
reap the reward of his intrigue by read
ing the faces of those around. nor did
he even wait for any answer from
Patty, but, passing quickly on, disap-
Ipeared through a side door.
Then followed a perfect chorus of in
furious remarks.
"Well 1 never! To think as you're
carryin' on with he"
"Takin' up with furrineers, and your
poor Granny not cold in her grave

SHE is POORER THAN HE.

My Dear Miss Doom:
l am a poor girl and considered
pretty by a great many people. I know
quite a few young men, but they are
all above me in a financial way. Now,
n young man seems to like me very
much, and 1 like him, but l don't know
whether I should invite him to call, as L
know my home is nothing like his, and
/ am not accomplished and have no way
of entertaining him. l am ashamed to
invite him. He has eve asked me if
he could call. but has been nea my
house and at such a time that I know
he was anxious to receive an invitation,
for he always tells me when he is go
ing near my home. l would like to see
him oftener and / am sure l could if L
would only invite him to my home. but
have not or account of the reasons
stated above. Now, Miss Doom. do you

ONE WOMAN'S WORRY.

Dear Margery Doom:
Do o think a woman ought to
marry a mar who has lied to her? My
fiance lied about a small matter, and
/ found him out. He declares that he
will never deceive me again, but how
am I to believe him? 1 am very miser-
able just thinking about it. Please
help me. DOUBTER.
Wait a while, and let the man prove
the truth of his statement. It was
wrong for him to lie to you, but you
must remember that your whole future
happiness is at stake. When a woman
loves she must forgive much.
