several features and musical numbers

Post Card Riddles and The Phantom

the Eddie Foy Girls are the reignng

Chinese Eating.

1t is probably true that the Chinese
use a greater variety of meats than do
the people Of other countries, although
but little land is set apart for grazing
or for the cultivation of food for. live
stock. Beef is not a common meat,
principally because of the Buddhistic
prejudice against killing any animal
and particularly such a useful one.
Since hogs can be SO economically
reared, pork is undoubtedly, after rice,
the leading article of food. This is
eaten in every form, and one may say
that every part of the animal Is util-
lied for food. Horsefesh, venison, an-
telope and bear are often seen, but i'll

By ETHEL DOUGLAS.
Copyrighted. 1908, by NJ. NJ. Cunningham

Nancy started angrily as the porter
dropped a suit case into the front seat
Of her section and Philip Graham fol-
lowed him to the seat.
'"This is ungenerous," she said tense
~ when the porter had taken himself
of. "How did you discover that / was
coming?"
II am afraid that you will not credit
my protestations," said Graham sober
", "but 1 assure you that my surprise
equals your own. l was telegraphed
for not two hours ago. l had just time
to throw a few things into the suit case
and III for the train. l was under the
impression hat you were to remain
with your aunt a week and that-last
night would make no difference in your
plans"
Last night had nothing to do with
It," disclaimed Nancy. Father wired
for me. l am afraid that 1t is serious,
and you elect to follow me and annoy
me with your arguments"
II have already assured you of my
entire Ignorance Of your presence on
the fier," said Philip stifly. I'm proof
Of my good intentions l shall betake
myself to the smoker until l am able to
range an exchange Of seats with the
conductor"
He raised his hat ard stalked for
ward in the direction of the cafe car,
leaving Nancy with her feelings sadly
rufiled. Only the night before Graham
had proposed to her and had beer re-
fused. She was certain that her aunt,
Mrs. Merrivale. had managed to get
word to Philip that Nancy had been
telegraphed for. His presence here
was a part Of Mrs. Merrivale's match
making plans.
Had she been left to herself Nancy
would have accepted Graham; but, be-
ing a young person of spirit, she de-
clined to be forced upon Graham Or
to have him forced upon her. From
the beginning Aunt Merrivale's plans
had been too obvious.
They were flying through the yard
now. She could not leave the train.

Drug Store For Horses.

II came across a queer little drug

man. at makes a speciality of vet
e~rinarian prescriptions. According to
the proprietor's own account, they don't
sell very much in that store except
horse medicine. They sell more Of
that than any other drug store in town.
The neighborhood abounds in stables
and animals hospitals. and most Of the
drugs used in doctoring sick horses are
bought at that store. OF course the
place is fitted up with the usual drug
store paraphernalia. There is a soda
water fountain, a cigar stand, postage
stamps can be purchased there and
drafts and doses for human beings will
be compounded upon request, but those
familiar and supposedly primary func-
tons of a drug store are in this case a
super1uity. because about all that drug
gist does is to put up cures for equine
ailments."-New York Press.

OF course Philip would be back later
to explain that he was unable to effect
an exchange into another car. Prob
ably he would spend the evening
across the section from her, and: un-
like the men. there was no place to
which Nancy could retreat.
She. was genuinely surprised when
presently a strange porter came for
the suit case. placing another in the
seat in it's place. She smiled to her
self with satisfaction. 1t was plain to
be seen that she had shown Graham
how she had penetrated his plan, and
he had acknowledged his defeat. Idly
she wondered ii he would leave the
train at Philadelphia; then mentally
she scoldcd herself for taking any in
terest in Philip Graham's movements.
They We're we'll past Philadelphia
when Graham passed her on his way
to the dining car. and Nancy rather
admired him for his persistence in re-
naming away from her. At least he
was too clever to betray his disap-
pointment that his use had failed.

We're dull, and reading was impossible.
Nancy had answered the first call for
dinner, and she resigned herself to
tdling the long hour until the berths
were made up. The message calling
her home had been vague In the ex-
IRENE, and in it's very vagueness 1t
was the more alarming. Her father
might be dying for all she knew. and
the thought bore down upon her.
She was peculiarly sensitive to
moods, and the atmosphere Of the half
deserted car was depressing. Through
the closed door of the stateroom at
her back came the wailing cry Of a
baby, to which was occasionally added
the more lusty note of a growing child.

After much skirmishing and securing
of the country Murray found what he
thought he wanted and wrote his
friend to come on.
Orville came by next train. Murray
met him at the station in his big red
car, and they sped down a broad, dust

Six miles farther he turned into a
crossroad with farmhouses few and
far between.
"This Is BETTER" declared Orville.
ut will keep getting better from your
standpoint" retorted Murray.
On they sped until the car swerved
and turned into what looked to Orville
like an overgrown copse.
"You don't e this is a road?" he
said as the car bumped and protested
against the ruts and underbrush.
"No; just a lane, the only house Oh
