late in the evening to call on Alicia Grey, ms
childhood sweetheart. who has recently. been
married to George Grey. Clark, who Is not
really conscious of what he Is doing. pushes his
way into the Grey house, when the door 10
opened e his ring, and meets Alicia in the par
Tor. She Is frightened and begs him to go
away at once. AT this moment, Grey. a hard,
suspicious man, suddenly enters. Clarke, reaifz-
ing what he has done, slips Alicia's purse from
the table into his pocket. and surrenders himsei1
as a burglar to Grey. The purse, found In his
pocket, is convincing. Harry Clarke Is tried
and sent to prison under an assumed name.
His term over. Clarke studies law at Har-
ward, enters politics and rises fast.
A rich, young dilettante named Harrison also
enters politics. and he. too. is in. love with
Alicia GREY. Clarke is elected to the Legisla-
ture, where one of the most active lobbyists
with whom he has to contend is Pauline
Harmon. Clark's election to the governor
shin follows quickly. the choice constituting a
triumph over the faction that had been WORKING
to seat Grey In the chair. Suspicion as TO the
dark character In the Governors life IS
aroused and reaches its height at q great GA.

The body of Harrison was carried to

Harrison in the cafe and by a sudden

Cushions of Monks Cloth.

Extremely handsome looking cush-
ion for porch and summer use can be
made from monks cloth, as it is called.
1t is a fabric that is between common
burlap the more expensive crafts
mans canvas. 1t is not so harsh in
texture as the latter, and a little more
closely woven than the former. 1t
comes in staple colorings and the usual
decoration is a design cut from ere
tonne that is sewed to the cloth with
a COUGHING stitch. A black cord makes
a most effective outline. The cloth is
fifty inches wide.

window looking out, but not looking at

the soft murmur ceased. making the
silence by contrast painful. Then came
a sharp. terrible sound, breaking the
silence, the report of a pistol shot, and
after it a cry that I knew, a cry that
any one would know, though he had
never heard 1t before. 1t was the
death cry of a man struck down by a
bullet.

was deserted. The clerk had left his
desk and the loungers were gone. All

lowed them to witness a ghastly sight.
The first thing that caught my eye
was the spectacle of a heavy, red-faced
man showed violently against the wall,
and held there by a h~aif-dozen bar
keepers, porters and night watchmen.
A revolver had been taken from his
hand by one of the porters. Another
mar lay pom the floor, and a dark clot
of blood had gathered upon his light
waistcoat.

His Wife Was Jealous.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Last week I walked home with a girl
who lives neal my home. My wife saw
her leave me at the corner after we
had talked for a few minutes. She OBJ
iected and we quarreled. Now / am
afraid to walk with the girl again.
Your advice will be appreciated. S.
Your wife ought not to quarrel with
you over such a trifing matter. Tell
her that if there had been harm In
your conduct you would not AVE stood
talking SO ear your home. The
next time you and the girl happen
to be going the same way, walk with
her, but I would advise you not to talk
on the corner. Perhaps then your wife
will see that she was silly to object.

NEEDLE and THREAD

One of the pastimes of the hour with
home needleworkers is the revival of
the old-fashioned bead and bugle work
on net. Some original and artistic
trimmings are made in this way.
The work is lone in black or colors,
or both, with the frequent introduction
of silver and gold.
Little lengths of banding to finish the
front of bodices below the yoke or to
finish the yoke all around are among
the uses to which this trimming is put.
1t is very simple to work out little
beading designs which give a smart
touch to an otherwise commonplace
bodice or frock, Bead work is quickly
done is most interesting to any
one who enjoys needlework.

My Dear Miss Doom:
Two years ago l met a young man
who fell in love with me. I tried to
like him, but after a year I gave 1t
up and wrote to him to call no more.
He was always very nice to me. He
did not answer or return my letters
and pictures. Would it be right TO
write for them? 1 would like to oe
friendly. ANXIOUS.
I'd let him keep the letters and pic
lures If I were you. If you write you'll
only give him an opportunity to call
to return them in person.
