face all the way to town." asked
Joyce anxiously.
Dick Torrington's chin squared itself
as be looked at the sturdy black flying
over the hard packed snow.
Sf'If King doesn't keep going" he

to just make the train. If we miss
that. your father will be after us in no
Ne at ALL"
Joyce shivered at the suggestion.
For years she had lived in dread of
the stern old man who since his wife's
death had looked on life with hatred.
When Joyce had come. her gentle
mother had slowly faded away. and
Hiram Waring. blaming the innocent
child for the death of the woman he
loved so passionately, had never
shown her the affection that was her
heritage.
AS child her innocent transgres-
sions were punished with an unjust Sc
verify. and when Dick Torrington had
asked her father for her hand he had
been driven from the house for no
other apparent reason than Mr.. War
ing's hatred of Joyce. The father
would not give his consent to a mar
riage because it would make her hap
Ply. and thereafter he watched her
more closely than ever
But Dick Torrington was not of the
sort to take his unjust dismissal with
out an effort to win the woman he
loved, and the elopement was the re-
suit.
BuSby was the terminal station of a
branch line on which the single train
made two trips daily each way. Hank
Carew took pride in the punctuality
with which the road was run, and it
was certain that the morning train
would leave exactly at half past 9.
BY planning the elopement so as to
reach the station just as the train
started, Dick was assured that there
could be no successful pursuit. King
could cover the ground faster than
Warnings double team, even should the
latter be already hitched.
The start of the elopement had been
successfully accomplished, and now
King was flying over the road toward

church one Sunday morning with the
admonition that if he could not remem-

couldn't go out te play that afternoon.
At the dinner table he was asked the
text of the sermon and said:

must be mistaken Johnny" but he was
sure he was right. The matter dropped

PeriIs of crinoline.

The dangers of the historic crinoline
are illustrated by story told by Lady
Dorothy Nevill in her "Reminiscences"
Going too near the fireplace, her volu-
minous skirt caught fire, and in an
instant she was in a blaze. There
were no men present, and the women
could not help her, because IL they
had gone near enough to be Of use their
own skirts would have been ignited.
Fortunately Lady Dorothy had suffi-
cient presence of mind to roll herself
in the hearth rug and thus s1bdue l1e
flames.

engineer at his factory who had been
with him for fifteen years and the old
gentleman had implicit confidence in

The proprietor thought it all over for

The third Saturday he sent for the
engineer again, and after the same
questions and answers he raised his
salary another S. a week.
On the fourth Saturday the engineer
was again summoned before the boss.

here, John?" asked the proprietor.

More Oriental Labor.

Contractors Here Ready to Place
More Oriental Labor.
The Koreans are the latest COM
petitors in the field with the Japs.
T. X. Yoon, a labor contractor, has
put in a recent appearance here, and
is endeavoring to place some fifty
Koreans In the ranks of the spud
pickers and beet harvesters. Mr..
Yoon Is far from the usual type OF
labor contractor. being q Harvard
man and a delegate to the recent
Peace conference at The Hague. He
is an ordained minister and frequent
ly breaches and lectures. A part of
his boys" al he refers to his native
charges, are still in Denver. but
others have already found jobs here.
MIR. Yoon claims that all Of these
men for whom he is responsible are
in this country after educations and
that many of them will enter institu-
tions of learning after the fall work
is done.
To the average American there is
little difference in appearance be-
tween the Japs and the Koreans. In
general. the Korean seems to be
taller. with less prominent cheek
bones and eyes less slanted than the
Japanese However, the difference
is very slight to the casual observer
The two races keep strictly apart,
and there is no more intercourse be-
tween the Japs and the Koreans than
between the Japs and white laborers.
The Koreans are willing to work on
the same scale OF wages as the Jap
anese laborers and accept the same
ccommod ations provided for them.

VOTERS FLOCK TO REGISTER.
Denver Papers Misleading as to tn
Last Day.

Monday was busy day for the
county clerk. The names OF l49
electors were entered upon his regis
tration book. Yesterday was the last
day of registration in Denver. and the
papers from the metropolis called
attention to the fact with much red
ink This led many Of the local peo-
pie to believe that yesterday was the
last opportunity for voters to register
here. which accounts for the large
registration yesterday. II scare of
this kind could be improvised for
each day until the 18th, there would
be no doubt about bringing out a
full vote.
There are now some $50 names on
the register. and the county clerk
estimates the ultimate total at 1000.

How to Make an Excursion Boat.

Get po; Of paint, some pine boards
and an abandoned engine Also a kec
of spikes and two smokestacks large
enough to hold a red emblem.
Put your boat together very care
fully. seeing that all the pieces fit onto
the keel. After it is all ready shake
it lightly to see it doesn't fall apart
Then place 1t gracefully on the sur.
face Of the bay.
II is quite possible that IL may leak
at first. IL so. fill the cracks with
laundry soap.
Now for the fittings. Put a coupIe
of chevai glasses in your cabin and a
toothbrush attached to a chain i'm the
wash-room. Buy at auction some life.
preserver coats and fill them with
breakfast foods. In case Of accidents
you are thus providing the passengers
with nourishment.
After you have selected your can
tain and crew, secure permission from
the proper authorities to run the boat
loaded to the guards with women and
children. This can easily be done
provided you have the necessary cash.

SOME AGED sRlpeoRooMs.

Well Known Men Who Wed When
Far Advanced In Years.
Social records give several instances
Of ancient bridegrooms. The list is
headed by the Earl Of Wemys. He
was born In 1918. and when about 50
took as his second wife the handsome
dark haired Miss Grace Blackburn.
Then the Earl Of Mount Edgcumbe
married at "a. taking as his second
spouse his cousin Caroline. Countess
OF Rayensworth. And the wedding of
the late Marquis Of Donegal at the
age Of 80 made an event Of December.
1902.
Baronets seem set on making second
or third marriages after they have be-
come octogenarians. In 1906 Sir Hec-
tor Hay. at the age Of IS, took to wife
Mrs. Fordyce. widow Of Major Fordyce
Of Aberdeen, and In the same year Sir
James Langrishe, when SO years old.
married as his second wife Miss Algi-
tina Gooch. only sister Of Sir Daniel
Gooch.
Also in 1906 Sir Robert Turing. at
the age Of 70. married Mrs. Herbert
Ramus. a niece Of Lord Congleton, and
Sir Henry Vavasour when well over
the allotted span married Miss Alice
Codrington. a cousin Of the Duke of
Beaufort. Sir Henry is now nearly "a,
keeps well In mind and body, and
makes long trips to the Continent.
The late Sir Charles Tenant (fath-
er Of Mrs. Asquith) took sec ond wife
when well on in the 70s, and a child
was born to him when he was 30
years old.-From Tit-Bits.

tendance SO far as regards numbers
has been most praiseworthy, but the
funds secured are not so satisfactory.
When one considers the excellent
game Of ball which the home team US
ualIy put up 1t is not too much to ex-
pect that there should be no person not
interested enough in the national sport
to contribute the regular admission fee
OF twenty-five cents, which goes to-
wards paying the expenses Of the Wis
iting team as well as the running ex-
penses Of the home nine. At each Of
the games played to date the total COL
lections have not exceeded twenty dol
lars. this sum not being sufficient to
met the expenditures. We trust the
team will receive the support it GER
tainly deserves. -
