The young cub slipped out of his

Mr.. Bowser was scared half to death

and flushed up. He was beginning to
feel that he had job on hand. He
didn't insist upon Billy's going home,

Mr.. Bowser held him off. and the
result was another fit. There was no
camphor this time. The boy was lifted
on to the lounge and no attention paid
to him, and after five or six minutes
he came to with a yell. The first yell
was followed by second, third and
fourth, and he was wound up for a

with a nickel to stop. When the ex-

interesting feature of the book lies

the state is endeavoring to utilize for
water power. Glen Iris, which con-

falls of the Genesee, was given to the
State of New York by Mr.. Itch
worth with the express purpose of
preserving 1t in its natural beauty for
nature lovers. The state Immediately
proposed to sell the water power, thus
totally defeating Mr.. Litchworth's in
tent. A fight is still on in the legis-
lature as to whether this shall be
permitted. Mrs. Warner recently
and became much interested in the
matter. The arguments pro and con
are both utilized in 'In a Mysterious
Way" but it is easy to discern that
Mrs. Warmers sympathies are wholly
with the donor of this property,
whose kindness is so abused.

That last was a poor bluff on Mr..

BOWSER'S FIND.
He Takes a Lost Boy to His Fatherly
l. Bosom.

When Mr.. Rowser reached home
from the office the other evening Mrs.
Bowser had a bit of news for him.
Her church was going to give an en-
tertainment, and she was one of the
committee that would meet that even
ing.
''--.-ell, I think can manage some

was no further discussion about it.
At O'Clock she went her way, leav-

front steps. She had been gone about
ten minutes when a boy, about six
years old, came crying along the
street and stopped at the Bowser gate
and walled out that he was lost.

The cook had gone out five min

Bowser opened the refrigerator and
placed whatever he could find on the
table. There was enough to make a
meal for a hearty man, and the lost

unusual success of this authors prev

earnest of what may be expected of
her latest work. RED Horse Hill''
is an American novel of intense in
terest, worked out around a situation
unusual and dramatic. 1t depicts the
events of four related lives and the
conflicts of their various interests.
The author has written of true peo-
pie, who are happy or sad, who en-
joy or who suffer in an intensely hui
man way and who are made or brok-
en- by the events of their lives, as are
people of real life. Her background,
a Southern mill town, is perfect, with
the detail painted from long and in
innate knowledge. The pathos, the
power and the realism in the book
raise it to a high level of literary
achievement, and no reader will be
able to dismiss 1t without deep
thought concerning its appeal to the
highest and best things of life, and
a keener realization of the power Of
a great love.

may fall upon. Lots of the clubs
would like to see Mrs. L. D. Monroe

ability, her earnestness. her enthu-
