Jakey was a little ragged news
boy, who sold papers all day on
the street in a big city. The hap
piest part of the whole day for
Jakey was when his violet lady,"
as he called her. bought her even
ing paper from him. She carried
a black muff with a big bunch of
violets on it, and she always
smiled so sweetly at Jakey and
talked so pleasantly to him.
One evening she was in a great
hurry. She took her paper from
Jakey, slipped the penny into his
hand and disappeared in the
crowd. Jakey discovered right
away that this penny" wasn't a
penny at all. but a five dollar
gold piece. When he went home
that night, his father took his
money from him as he always did.
He found the gold piece that Jak-
ey had wrapped up in paper and
put in another pocket to give back
to the violet lady" Jakey cried
and begged him not to take it,
but he laughed at the boy and sent
him to bed.
The next few days Jakey was
sure that the violet lady"
looked worried, even though she
spoke and smiled as sweetly as
ever. He was worried, too. He
felt like crying every time she
spoke to him. He even tried to
avoid her. And then, one day she
asked him IL he wouldn't rather
be errand boy at her office than
to sell papers.

said. "You would learn to be a

Among the new shirtwaists to

Dear Miss Grey: l have very
light hair. Have been using a
tonic and find it is improving
some so far as growth is con-
cerned, but it is coming in two or
three shades darker at the roots.
Could you advise some way to
turn the ends dark so as not to
give it bleached look? Am well
pleased with the change only for
the difference in the ends and
roots. ESTER.
A.-To attempt to darken the
ends might injure the whole hair,
and do more harm than the tonic
has done good.

Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro-

permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day son of the Emerald
Isle entered a drug store there, and,
taking bottle from his pocket, asked
for a quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use it was to be put
and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it."
The order was filled, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and its
contents, inquired, in a conversational
manner:
What kind of roots are you going
to soak?"
Pocketing the bottle, the customer
said:

fug1t1veS, then decided to return dnO
organize a posse, which they raised In
short order This posse followed the
track of Lewis and Crawford beyond
the Wichita river, to place where
the robbers had taken to the thick
brush overgrowing the river bottom.
Here the trail was lost.
Capt. Mcdonald, returning from the
Fitzsimmons-Maher contest, via Fort
Worth, had got as far as Bellevue in
the adjoining county when he was met
by telegram, containing the news
of what had happened that morning at
Wichita Falls. He Immediately wired
the authorities at tSe Falls to have
horses in readiness for himself and
men.
TIE Rangers ss6S&3d the city about
two in the afterpsasJ and mounting
the horses, already waii3Eg, dashed
away In the direction the robbers had
taken.
Presently they met the local posse
coming back The posse had given
up the chase but was able to furnish
information. Capt. Bill and his Ran
gers learned where the robbers had
disappeared, and pressed on in that
direction; the posse followed, a re-
spectful distance behind.
It was now getting toward evening
and would soon be dusk. 1t was de-
sirable to make an end of matters by
daylight, if possible, and the Rangers
wasted no time. They picked their
way as rapidly as possible, into the
thick underground of the bottoms, and
suddenly in bend of the river dis
covered the Clydesdale horses tied
close to the bank. Their riders were
believed to be close by, and the Ran
gers expected to be fired upon at any
moment. Without waiting for any
such reception, they charged in the
direction of the horses, with no other
result than that Ranger Sullivan
broke a stirrup, fell, and with frac
tured rib, retired from action.
Lewis and Crawford had abandoned
the horses, and their trail led down
the river bank. Finally the tracks
led to the river where it was evident
the bandits had crossed.
