po~rte-cochere.
On the way home harrington, his
mind stu wavering between this ex-
pedient and that, decided that, after
all, he would take charge of the pa
pers himself. It didn't seem quite fair
that Cavenaugh's safe should protect
6is ultimate disgrace. So, upon enter
ing the house, he conided his desire
to Kate, who threw aside her wraps
and led him into the dining room.
She had her own reasons fer wishing
the papers out of the safe. She turned
on the lights and swirled the combina-
ton knob. At this moment Norah
came in.
what are you doing?" she asked.
"Mr. Darlington left some valuable
papers in the safe, and he wants
them"
Darlington wondered why Norah
gazed from him to her sister with so
wild an expression.
"Papers?" she murmured.
Kate opened the door. She sprang
to her feet in terror and dismay.
what is it?" cried Darlington, who
saw by her expression that something
extraordinary had happened.
"They-it is not there!"
Norah sat down and hid her face on
her arms.
Darlington rushed over to the safe,
stopped and made a hasty examina-
ton. 1t had been opened by some one
who knew the combination! He
stood up, a cold chill wrinkling his
spine. He saw 1t all distinctly. Cave,
naugh knew. He had known all along.
C%avenaugh had overheard him speak
to Kate and had opened the safe after
their departure for the club. 1t was
all very cleverly done. He knew that
Kate was utterly blameless. Then
it dawned upon him that they ap.
peared as though they accepted the
catastrophe as not wholly unexpected!
To what did this labyrinth lead?
A rattle of the curtain rings wheeled
them about. They beheld Cavenaugh
himself standing in the doorway.

ing Darlington s~uspiciously.
Darlington answered him icily. 81

which the men who nearly half a cen

the music of the fife and drum.

Saved by Clothes Line.

The young child of William Martin,
a Bacup shopman, fell from the third
story of a tenement and escaped a
shocking death in a miraculous nan
ner. The child was playing on a bal.
cony 40 feet above the street when it
climbed the ratings and toppled over
six feet from the ground, however, the
child's body fell directly across a
clothes line stretched ACROSS the street
and the rope, acting much as a net
would have done, broke the fall 30

Glue Pot Heated by Electricity.

The value of electricity for heating
purposes, says the Scientific Ameri-

glue pot, which has recently been
placed on the market. The economy
of the device lies in the fact that the
maximum amount Of heat may be ap-
the glue may be kept warm at all

SYNOPSIS.

Darlington loved Kate Cavenaugh,
laughter of MuIti-Millionaire Henry Cav
snaugh. The latter liked Darlington, but
refused him as a son-in-law. Young Car
'ington, a lawyer, held evidence OF GRIM
nal financial operations, of which Cave
aaugh was guilty. 1t was Carrington's
iuty to prosecute the rich man, but he
decided to lay the whole matter before
woman decided that to drop the case
would be cowardly even though the &C.
fused was her father. C~avenaugh offered
Darlington a position at $4,000 o year.

HUNGRY HEARTS.

Mrs. Frank Frost, editor of the
Vandalia (Mo. Leader, is the author
of the following gem:
"How many hungry hearts there
are in the worlf. hungering for re-
cognition, for word of praise. The
hungriest heart in this world is an
unpraised woman whose husband never
gives her a word Of praise or recog-
milton for a sacrifice made in his be-
half Love may be there i'll his
heart for her, love deep and abiding,
and should death claim her, the foun-
tains of his heart would be broken up
and he would realize what he had
lost, and cover her grave with roses,
which. had they been presented a
single one at time with tithe of
the tenderness he now shows, her
pathway would have been far brighter
and her life ray of sunshine, not
that her burdens were diminished,
but by a knowledge indisputabIe,
that her efforts were appreciated. A
hungry heart, which is destined never
to be fed. is one of the saddest
spectacles ever witnessed in this
world of ours
IF you have a word of praise to
bestow on your wife-If it is due
bestow it. DO not wait until she is
dead, and be forced through binding
tears to tell your heart in its throb-
bling that you have lived a dual life
by sitting thoughts and keeping back
words that would have brought a
flush of pleasure to her cheeks, old as
she is, and set her heart to dancing
with pleasure only known to those
who have had their hungry hearts fed
by praise and recommendation.

The success of the kidnapers of
little BILLY" Whitla, at Sharon,
Pa, last week was short lived. The
frantic father having acceded to the
demands of thu boys captors and
deposited the SO, 600 where they could
obtain it, got his son back safely, but
the police very sensibly disregarded
his promises not to attempt the
capture and punishment of the kid
napers. who were promptly ferreted
out and taken, with nearly the entire
sum of money in their possession.
One woman, member of the gang.
committed suicide by taking poison
on the street and was dead by the
time she reached the police station.
No parent can fail to realize the
agony that must fill the heart of a
loving father and mother when
child is thus stolen from them and
the knowledge forced upon them by
9hreats that they will never again see
their child returned to their arms ex-
Cept by the payment of ransom. 1t
is thought which causes the strong
est mind to weaken and listen to the
dictates of the heart, and yet we
cannot be unmiudful that such action
is simply playing into the hands Of
these villainous despoilers of happy
homes and lending encouragement to
repetitions of the offense by others.
The punishment for kidnapping is
not severe enough to fit the crime. 1t
should be the heaviest that can be-
imposed and should follow swift and
sure upon conviction.

The senatorial investigation took a
sudden turn at Madison last week
when a resolution was adpoted to
close the investigation of Senator
Stephenson's use of money in the
campaign and put the probe into the
campaign of the other three candi-
dates, who by their own report spent
so, 600 in advancing their own candi-
dacies In the same contest for which
Senator Stephenson has been under
investigation. Senator Norris, one
OF the members of the committee, was
placed In an embarrassing position in
the midst of fiery speech upon the
resolution, in which he bitterly as
sailed the men who accepted money
from Stephenson to bs used for
political purposes. Senator Morris
was interrupted by one Of the other
members OF the committee who
charged him (Morris) with having
used $50 from Mr.. Hatton to be used
in La Crosse county. The senator
stopped short in his speech and
flushed angrilY as he retorted that he
had admitted receiving the money and
was prepared to go upon the stand and
tell what he did with it. You
admitted it after we found it out.

In Memoriam.

Mrs. Mary Wannmaker, the eldest
daughter of John and Sarah Bacon.
was born at Syracuse, Onondago. Co.
New YORK, June 81, 1929 and died
March IS, 1909.
She moved with her parents from
New York to Ohio when child At
the age of seventeen she was united
in marriage to Charles Wannamaker
and moved to Grant county, Wis,
where they engaged in farming.
Her husband died in 1899. After
his death she disposed of her farm
and came to Lancaster where she has
since resided The immediate family
who survive her are Edward, of Bos-
cobel; Mrs Nettie Thomas, Mrs.
Nellie Bennett both of Chicago; Mrs.
Eva Boyd. of Lancaster and Eugene
and Charles who resided in the home
with their mother. The sisters of
the deceased who survive her are Mrs.
Aurora McLimans, Mrs. Jennette
Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Drill Fry, Mrs.
Sarah Mann and Ruth Witzig. There
are twenty grand children and eigh-
teen great grand children. Beside
those of Mrs. Wannamaker' family
who survive her three sons preceded
her to the heavenly home; one died
in infancy, Clark, young man died
in Colorado, and William a prosper
Gus farmer near Preston died a few
months before his mother death. It
has been evident for the past year
that she was failing in health and
when death claimed her son William
her heart was bowed in grief and she
said IF it had only been me that had
been taken instead of Willie.
Friends in attempt to comfort her
would say Gods will must be done
and sometime we will understand. -
During the past winter she was
confined to her bed for several weeks
after which she seemed to improve
and was dressed and sat up portion
of each day.
On the morning of the day she
died she was sitting in her chair and
had eaten her breakfast as usual.
Shortly after she said she felt very
weak and asked her son Eugene to
help her to the bed. As he did so
death came instantly without a
struggle. Her children were i'm
mediately summoned and all of them
came bearing evidence of sincerest
affection for their dear mother, who
never outlived her usefulness. She
possessed great fortitude. During her
long illness she was patient and re-
signed She was appreciative of all
that was done to alleviate hel suf-
ferings She never lost her intevtst
in the family circle and was solicit
tous to the end Bers was re-
markable memory and it retained the
best thought Our heavenly Father
was real to her in the cares and duties
of life.
The funeral services were held in
the Fairview church which had been
draped and ornamented with flowers
and motto by her friends and
acquaintance of that vicinity.
Rev. W. Fl. Hannaford of Lancas-
ter conducted the service and preach
ed an able and effective sermon, using
as the text psalm 1885 and 80 verses.
This faithful mother was laid to
rest in the Fairview cemetery which
is near the home where she lived so
many years before coming to Lancas-
tor.
