The BARRIERS Story.

The barber drew the keen razor
over his customers face and began:
"A friend OF mine told me the best
fish story l ever heard in my life while
he was getting shaved the other day
Want to hear it? All right You see,
it concerns physician who had n
friend who was daffy over fish. and he
used to try all kinds of queer expert
ments with them. One time the friend
told the physician that il you took
fish and kept it out of water every
day, increasing the time each day,
you'd soon have the fish so that il
wouldn't have to be in the water at all.
Well, the idea sounded reasonable to
the physician, so he went and bought
a large shad. He put it in an aqua
rum. and every day he took it out of
the water and put it on the floor. The
first day he only allowed it to stay out
for thirty seconds, but every day he
increased the time until finally the
shad didn't need any water at all to
live in.
"Well, one rainy night the physician
was SilllhS III MS StuuS ltdShihS lht
shad to smoke a cigar when the tele-
phone bell rang, and after answering
it the physician prepared to go out on
a hurry call. He ordered his carriage,
and when it appeared at the door he
went out, the shad following him. 1t
was raining hard, and a perfect tor
rent of water was flowing down the
mn
the carriage, but slipped and fell into
the gutter and was drowned. Oh, I'm
sorry | cut you, sir But you couldn't
help smiling then, could you"-Phila

Jimmy Brice swung the big road car
into the winding drive, took the sharp
curve 10y the house on two wheels and
brought up ut the steps with. an ad-
ruptncss that all but sent him head
long through the wind shield
On the wide veranda Colonel Thorn

his lips set tight and his keen old eyes
flashing fire.
ITS come at last, just as l expect

spectacular stop. "Mabei has gone
with that young upstart Nixon
gone-gone-eloped! DO you under

go with you myself if riding in the
wind didn't bring on my asthma So
I'd 90 with you and make it hot for

have TO take Nell. She'll know what
to do. Ho Nell, Nell"' he called sun

Here's Jimmy in the racer. Hurry
up! You haven't minute TO losew
Light footsteps battered on the

Thornton.
They've gone across the state line
to Worthwhile. Of course the colonel
declared. You can get em if you
hurry. Let out that car Jimmy. Don't
let 'em make it ahead Of you
Jimmy opened up the car, and down
the drive they went at a reckless pace,
swung into the road and went whirl
ing toward Worthwhile, leaving in thelI
wake cloud of dust that rose even
above the treetops.
Once they reached a straight stretcL
OF road Brice leaned toward the girl
beside him.
We'll overtake EN- if they haven't
too much of a start" he declared.
"How long have they been gomez"
Half an hour" she answered.
Then we've got EN-" said he en-
couragingly. "Of course we've got to
head this thing Off"
"Of course" she agreed, but some

idea that she was not Overenthusiastic

said he. She's desperately in love
with him, and Nixon isn't half bad

THAT'S impossible" said she. "She's
nothing but a child. l almost think if
she had been firm with papa he would
have consented, but to try TO take the
matter in her own hands this way has
sent him into frightful rage"
They reached a fork in the road. One
branch led TO Worthwhile, the other to
Standish.
Jimmy swung the car into the left
hand branch of the road and gave it
full speed again.

you catch them?" he asked.

closed behind the retreating parson.

Jimmy Brice took her hand in his

and we've missed Mabel and Nixon
anyway, and this is such a bully clcr-

school"

when he came back.

girl arose.
Stars were winking drowsily in a
cloudless sky when they once more
turned into the winding drive and
found the colonel still pacing the We

So you've had your trip for nothing.

the blushing Nell from the car. "Oh.

BURMA CIGARETTES.

The cigarette of Burma is re-
markable contrivance. ranging in
length from Il foot TO foot and

like Il giant hrecracker in general
shape. If composed wholly of tobacco
it would be deadly. As matter OF
fact, it contains very little tobacco.

innocuous plants rolled tight and with

layers. one will last smoker for
day, frequently an entire family for a
day.
The women Of Burma. the most
handsome and intelligent of their sex
in the east. smoke these cigarettes ha-
bitually. 1t is something of Il shock
when the visitor first sees pretty
woman pulling ut one of these enor-
nous cylinders. 1t is still more of
shock if she is carrying a youngster
astride her hip in approved native
fashion. Between puffs she offers her
cigarette to the child, who never re-
fuses the invitation.

of Der husband.
Her body was laid out in state in
the church of Wei Erari, and her lover
actually succeeded in stealing the
corpse auG conveying it 10 ruined
crypt in one Of the Islands, and here
he sat day and night by his lost love
singing and playing to her, as though
by the force of his art he could recall
her to life.
Lconora had twin sister, Eliade
who was SO like her that her closest

in 4 gondola singing so exquisitely
that she traced the gondola to the de

later the fate Of her sisters corpse and
the identity Of Marcello. Aided by e
servant Eladc substituted herself for
her sisters body and when Marcellc
returned and called Leonora TO awake

the girl. Cant we 90 any fastcr:"
Jimmy shook his head. This is hci

Now they had reached the outskirts
Of Worthwhile. With honking horn and
undimnished speed they tore along the
elm lined streets.

They turned corner. Just ahead

the girl both lcaped out and ran up the
path to belabOr the polished brass

woman in cap and apron answered
their strident summons and smiled
upon them knowingly.
"Step right into the parlOr if YOU

Eyes; they're in the study now" said
the woman.
Without a word Of explanation
Jimmy pushed past her, and, with the
girl following after. he strobe into a
room, where a pleasant faced clergy
man was reading the marriage service
generously. Jimmy took a step for

Then even as they stood there in

And now, my young friends said
th- clergyman tentatively, advancing
in their direction.
Have you married any other couple
today?" Nell gasped.
The clergyman shook his head.
"Of course you haven't your Ii
censes," he said to Jimmy. "Fortu-
nately the clerk of this town lives next
door, and If you will kindly give me
the necessary information I'll see
about them for you"
Jimmy began to chuckle. He was
about to explain to the clergyman his
mistake when suddenly he squared his
shoulders, looked quickly at Nell and
then faced his interlocutor resolutely.

WAIST TIP IN WALL STREET.
Showing That Money IL Not tho DAILY
Thing People Think or Down There.

Devoted as it is to stocks and bonds and
money and that sort Of thing, it seemed at
first a little strange to see walking in Wall
Street and moving very leisurely where
most people hurry a man carrying a
banner. and still more surprising was
this banners inscription when you came
to read il. for il was not anything about
finance at all, but about women's fancy
waists and dresses it told where you
could get them cleaned!
Wasn't that Il surprising thing to see
in a region occupied by bankers and
brokers only and devoted to money,
money. money, to money and stocks and
bonds? But Of course the solution was
very simple.
Into this region have come in these
latter years. employed in it's financial
offices, thousands Of women. and follow
ing them have come various people who
make a business Of catering to their
wants. and one OF these is the man who
makes a business of dry cleaning women's
fancy waists and dresses. whose sign
bearer was seen moving 30 leisurely along
in the midst Of and quite undisturbed by
the hurry Of the financial district.
