CHAPTER VII.

Lady Donoyle had already given 3
ball during the season for her daugh-
ter, Kitty-a coming-out ball She
was winding up the season with an
other, which she called a bringing-in
ball. For, as she truly observed, 1T
is so much easier for a girl to wind
up her little affairs in her own house,
where she knows all the best sitting
out places"
She was more than ever glad that
she had planned to give it, when she
found that Vandraken was coming.
She had decided that this young multi
millionaire was by far the best thing
on the market, and she felt that the
beauty and esprit which her daugh-
ter had inherited entitled her to the
very best. A certain wild pallour of
health, ever SO faintly tinged with
pink, made an ideal setting for eyes
which were supposed to be blue, but
whose luminous quality defied any
fixed definition of color. They were
set far apart, under brows carefully
pencilled by nature herself Eyes in
which an infinite capacity for SYM
pathy warred for the right of express
sion with mischievous merriment; yet
there was suspicion of pathos in
the curve of her delicately chiselled
lips, which was not entirely dispelled
by rather impertinent nose, and the
riot Of red-gold hair which made such
an appropriate frame for her delicate
features
Lady Donoyle's own beauty, from
which thirty-seven years had taken
nothing, and only added the charm Of
experience, was on exhibition, as q
guarantee that the article she was Of
fering was wearing and durable. AS
far as rank went, the best the million
aire could get would be Lady Some
thing Vandraken; and in that respect,
when Offering her daughter, duchess
would not hold out any more induce
ments than a countess.
In competing for this matrimonial
prize, Lady Donoyle realized she had
one great advantage. Ancestor was
great friend of hers, and friend of
Vandraken's. She knew well the ef-
feet of a few well chosen words from
one man to another when matrimony
is hanging in the balance
Lady Donoyle wiled away those
dreary moments while waiting for the
| inevitable, nervously apologize early

NOT AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION.
One Big Industry That Makes Its Bust
ness Grow and Expand During Year


When a manufacturing establishment
reaches out in year of depression and
increases and expands its business, while
others in the same line diminish their
outputs or stand still, it is because there
must be some unusually good reason for
1t. In tins instance a splendid reputation
and a more-than- ordinary meritorious
product were responsible for the showing
made.
The Mayer Boot & Shoe Comnany,
Milwaukee, the largest shoe establish
ment in the Northwest. has Just closed
its fiscal year, and reports an increase in
sales over the corresponding period of last
year. This exceptional showing speaks
volumes for the genuine merit of Mayer
shoes, and is directly attributed to their
high standard, and because of the fact
that Mayer shoes have become universal
ly and popularity known as "shoes Of
quality"
Most of our readers, no doubt, have
become familiar with the shoe advertise
ments of this enterprising firm, that have
been appearing in the columns OF this

Farm Industry Prospers.


No industry has equaled the pros
pecity of agriculture the past decade.
Scientific methods of farming and i'm
proved live stock have greatly increased
the revenue of the farms In all parts
of the country. The land has been
cultivated to yield increased crops, and
prices have ruled uniformly high and
stable While other industries feel the
effects Of the financial depression, the
soil continues to yield bountiful har-
vests and values hold firm in contrast
with depressed business activities. The
government estimates that the value
of the, agricultural products of 1908
will total the enormous sum of $500
100000,
Farmers have invested approximately
in agriculture SO, 100000, which
yields gross income Of 80 per cent
on the investment, according to the es-

output. In some localities where farm
lands are cheap the gross return is up-
ward of 100 per cent on the investment
and farmers are able to pay for their
land with n single crop. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 100000 farms in
the United States that are putting on
the market annually ali output valued
at SS,5OO,0OO,OO0. 1t is the leading IN
dustry Of the country, and its pros

One Ex-President to Be O. K

That Theodore Roosevelt, the private
citizen, will be able to manage his own
affairs after March i, next, without both
ering the nation as a whole was the
declaration of the President in an inter
view today. He said:
Tell the country that those who hay o
been worrying about what TO do for our
ex-PreSidcntS need not worry as to what
they should do for this eXIresident. lie
is able to take care of himself. During
the time he has been in the white house
he has had Il fine time and he is going
to continue to enjoy life. As | said he
Is able To take care of himself and there
need be no worry as to what to do for
this eX-Prcsident."
The attitude of the President toward
his successor may be stated to be about
as follows.
The President will not seek to have
PreSident-elect Taft reward single
friend of his; he will not suggest a sin
gle cabinet appointment, he will not
suggest that any one he kept in the cab
met, nor Will he seem Ia give advice 10
the new President. If Mr.. Taft should
ask his advice it will be given and given
in the most kindly spirit and in good
faith In other words if questions are
asked they will be answered.
