over, she had ceased to be the beauty
of the time
She had reached very trying period
of her life, being too old to GO in the
young set, too young to go In the old

maidenhood from the married set
Her dreams did not, as in the past,
satisfy her. Her hero, the ideal of her
imaginings, had not come. She believ-
ed now he never would come. She be-

glass. Sometimes she saw herself
quite old sitting at table pouring tea
for Aunt Lefty or playing cards with
her father and having no interest in
life beyond these two daily duties.

Billy still came to the house as un-
failingly rs ever. He was almost the
only single man who did come. I'm
consciously almost she began to look
forward to his visits, and he often
found her shutting cards against his
arrival.
Billy had frightened wonderfully in
these later years. He told stories and
jokes and the amusing gossip Of the
town. He was earning a large salary
and was much sought by mothers with
manageable daughters. But for some
reason he continued to be free and to
play cards at the captains.
One evening he found That's alone.
She begged him rather shyly to stay.

card table, and Billy dealt the pack for

lucky ace Billy won.
He looked across at That's, but her
eyes were down. Something in her
face, however, lent him courage, and
he caught her hands, which were alb
sently engaged with the cards.
"Thaisv' he commanded. She looked
at him.

"Yes," she faltered.

When he had put the ring upon her
finger he leaned forward and kissed
her.

AUTOMATIC LAW ENFoRcER
A Ingenious Apparatus for the No.
torist Who Desires
Safety.

vice-Consul H. M. Byington, at Bris.
toll, reports as follows concerning a
new British apparatus which controls
the speed Of motor cars:
According to the published descrip-
ton of practical trial, the device
automatically removes The clutch
when the speed of the car slightly
exceeds the arranged limit and when
necessary the brake is also automatic
ally applied until the rate is reduced
just below the limit. The brake is
then quickly but gently removed and
the clutch again put in. A semaphore
is automatically raised to warn the
driver when he is approaching the
maximum. The mechanism, which
fits in a compact aluminium box and
works in oil, takes very little space.
It is put in action or our of gear in
an instant, and there is no need to
stop or slow down the car while this
is being done. The apparatus can
be locked up 50 that the driver of a
car cannot exceed the speed desired
by the owner. ~
Every effort was made on the trial
to get the car to exceed the limit,
which was set for 16 miles an hour.
On coming to fairly steep hill the
engine was allowed full power and
the car instantly started to gain
speed. But as soon as the limit was
reached the brakes were applied
strenuously. as If by magic (though
no sudden jar was experienced). and
the engine merely raced without the
slightest effect on the car, the speed
being maintained at the 16-mile rate
throughout" .8....5,

Little Gardens as Lifesavers.

From garden patches to health is
q story briefly told in a bulletin of
the health department. The depart
ment, in its study of cleanup day"
conditions, found that unsightly and
disease breeding back yards and va
cant lots have been giving way to
tasty and profitable vegetable gar
dens. 1--WE were agreeably surprised
to find such an increase in yard gar
dening," the bulletin stated. They
serve to keep the yard clean, to add
to the revenue of the family, and to
furnil fresh crisp vegetables for the
famiJ table. The increase in such
gardens was especially notable in the
Eighth ward. Collections of cans and
rubbish and stagnant pools have
given place in the last two years to
small, neat-looking gardens filled with
cabbage, onions, parsley, beets and
corn, and here and there fringe or
bed Of flowers. Seeing this we do not
wonder at the lowered baby death
rate in the Eighth ward"

of the poem was an old woman of

That was the end of her, also. In
turn, three other members of the fam
lily went down into the darkness; and
that was the end of them. A native
official was then called, and, light
ing his way with candle, penetrat-

air was SO foul that he was soon
obliged to retreat, but he stated that
he was just able to see in the dis.

cruel and persistent warfare on the
part of tho white man. In reprisal
for the land from which he was driv-
en-, the Ona raided the range at night
for the white guanaco,' as he called
the strange animal, the sheep, which
he found not only easily captured,
but sweeter and more tender to the
taste than the wild guanacos Of his
island. III.
these raids were 10 persistent and
assumed such magnitude that it really
became case of Indian or sheep, and
the scattered settlers with their rang
ers began warfare of determination
in which hirelings were engaged and
the 'chunkies' shot on sight. Occa-
sionally a large number with their
women and children were rounded up
and shipped to Dawson island, where

case primarily Of bullets against ar.

was obvious. In treachery the white
man outdid the Indian. He invariably

false with his truce, even resorting to
poisoning one Of the Ona's main food

demonstrated with him, and threat

The Boer expressed his surprise at
