DAILY SHORT STORY
By F. R. Leet

Was this some murderous scheme
concocted by those wretches? Bit
terly he regretted his display of
gold. He sprang to the door, fully
expecting to find its immense
oaken panels unyiehing. But,
somewhat to his surprise, 1t
opened. He crept out noiselessly.
The heat was Sitting still, but a
cool breeze blew through the
house.
Then he perceived trap door In
one corner, half open. from which
a flight of stairs descended to a
sort of vault. Curiosity mastering
his fear, he began to descend noise
lessly, till his feet touched stone
floor. In the pale light he could
perceive that he was in a cellar. in
one corner of which furnace
blazed under an immense oven,
from which came curious odor
Potter lifted the great handle with
fagot, looked in. and sprang back
with scream of horror.
Inside was the calcined skele.
ton of a man. Dimly he could see
the fleshless bones. Next moment
he had fled up the ladder-to find
the savage faces of the innkeeper
and the herdsmen staring at him.
He launched himself among
them, to fight his way to the door,
knocking them down right and left
Oaths and shouts arose; they
closed in on him, half dozen
clinging to him as he made his way
to freedom. They had him down;
he arose, he fell; he fell finally two
yards from the entrance. and in a
trice was at their mercy.
And suddenly from their midst a
voice was heard In good, grammat-
ical English:
"Signor," 1t called. appealingly.
what have these poor men done
that you should try to keel them?
|, too. am Americana. They say
you are mad, and must speak with
YOU"
"Murderers!" gasped Potter. Il
saw the bones of your last victim
in the oven."
A babel arose. The interpreter
translated. And suddenly the whole
assembly was convulsed with chok-
ing laughter. They rose. releasing
Potter. and chung, bowling, to one
another's necks.
"Ha! Re oven!" cried the man.
mo. no, signor, do you theenk we

ARTISTS AGAINST ODDS.


Potter had reached the widest
and most desolate part of the Cam
pagna when, with incredible celer
ity, thunderstorm sailed uI
against the wind and thick clouds
covered the sinking sun. Then a
few drops of rain fell sullenly.
He had come out from Rome to
paint the little cluster of Roman
tombs that stands here, memorial
to certain patrician ladies whose
very names and virtues have be
come obliterated from the marble
with the passing centuries. 1t was
seven miles back to Rome; shelter
even a tree, was absent.
He hurried backward, but before
he had covered hundred yards
the torrent descended, drenching
him to the skin. His feet splashed
in his waterlooged shoes, and GER
tain preliminary gatherings
warned him of a threatened attack
of the dreaded malaria. Happily
the ascent of a small knoll showed
him a small but substantial house
not far away. He hurried up and
hammered upon the door. From
within came sounds of boorish rev
erly. A surly Italian, of villainous
appearance, opened at last, fol
lowed by an equally repulsive bag
They made as If to bar him out
till he displayed some pieces OF
gold. At once their insolence was
succeeded by servility. With many
bows they ushered him into filthy
room, half bare, in which a com
pany of evil looking men In herds
mems clothes were quaffing wine
and quarreling over their cards
They eyed him suspiciously. The
woman whispered to their leader

they began muttering together

A STORY OF THE DANpELioNs

The fairies were giving the flow
ers their names and colors and
places where they should grow
They let them choose the places
they would live, and to their great
surprise, not a flower would allow
its home to be along dusty roads or
in vacant lots or other cherries
places.
"But that's where flowers are
needed most" said the fairies
"Then invent new flower to &c
there, said the naughty lily. But
the fairies couldn't do that. And
yet they were sad, FOR flowers are
needed most in the places where
these refused to grow.
But at last bright little fairy
said, LETS go grow in the dusty
places ourselves. And let's choose
the cheeriest color there is--that's
yellow, the color of sunlight. Well
go to the unpleasant places. We
don't mind"
.1You are good fairies" said their
qIesh. You shall have your sun
shine color. and not being real
flowers, you won't mind II you
haven't pretty smell. I'll give
you an ugly one so people won't be
tempted to pick you, and you shan't
wither like other flowers. As a
reward for your work you shall
grow old and white haired when
your work is done, and Just blow
away on the wind"
And so It was arranged. And the
fairies may be seen very early any
springtime sowing bits of sunshine
color everywhere.

duces poise and beauty Of counte-
nance, confidence and courage as
well. The satisfaction that a wom-
an feels when she knows she is
well dressed goes a long way to
producing an easy expression
which is conducive to beauty. The
aim to be we'll dressed, therefore,
is not due only to vanity, as 1t is
every woman's duty to look as
well as possible.

BUSY WOMEN'S
HAIR

According to an authority the
sale of hair restorers of all kinds is
growing by leaps and bounds, and
the majority of the purchasers are
business women. This authority
says: bad air-affecting the gen.
eral health and in time acting upon
the nourishment of the harris un.
doubtedly the chief cause of the
business women's loss Of hair" r
This issA serious matter, for "a
beautiful head of hair is always ad.
mired by the young man in search
Of a wife, and Is in the opinion OF
many employers, almost a. .neces,
sity in business.
Experts recommend that the
business girl remember that pre-.
vention is better than a cure. She
should not wait to care for her hair
until she finds 1t failing her. She
must not sacrifice her hair to the
fear Of arriving late at business
She must get up earlier in the
morning II necessary, to give 1t
proper care. She must exercise in
the open air. AS far as possible
she must avoid working where her
hair is subject to direct rays OF
artificial light.
The business girl should observe
these hints, and remember a fact
which the exper tpoints out, "the
deterioration in the hair of the
male population makes 1t more de-
sirable that the glory of woman
should be preserved at It's best.

MORE MONEY FOR MISSIONS

thirds OF the fund will be applied
to the schools In Turkey, as the
