DREXEL'S FOOT
COMFORT SHOES
FOR WOMEN

Every day we receive com
pltments from women who are
wearing our anti-bunion shoe.
This shoe is so constructed that
even though you have bunions
or enlarged joints, you can wear
1t with perfect comfort.
1t is a specially constructed
woman's shoe, made one size
smaller at the instep and two
sizes wider in the sole. This
gives a snug fit over the instep
and through the heel and at the
same time allows the foot to
rest wholly on the sole as it
should and not on the uppers.
The stock is fine soft kid
and the soles are flexible. We
have them in button and lace,
dress and common sense toes.
Don't suffer with your feet
when you can get shoes like
these.

SOME STARTLING TESTIMONY

SOME STARTLING TESTIMONY

New York. Sept. 17.-That George
r.. Malby. now a member OF congress
and formerly a state senator, who Is
the political boss Of St Lawrence
county, received $500 OF the money
from the account Of the traction inter-
ests which was deposited with Elling'
wood & Cunningham. came out In the
testimony before the legislative inyes-
tigating committee.
or this account only three items
were traced to their goals, that OF
Malby for $500, that OF the late s.
Fred Nixon for $1,000. and that OF ex-
Senator Louis T. Goodsell for $4,000.
Malby is the leader OF the district
which Edwin a. Merritt. Jr., chairman
OF the investigating committee, repre-
sents in the assembly, and OF various
other districts in that part Of the
state.
Transferred on Books.
The $500 to Malby was transferred
on the books under the date of July
%. 1903. Alexander s. Hackley testi-
fled that he knew Malby. who was
then senator. but that he had no busi-
ness dealings with him and that he
was not aware of this item of transfer
any more than of any others in the
account In other words, 1t was simply
a case OF the passing Of funds collect
ed by the Street Railway Association
of the State of New York. through G..
Tracy Rogers, its president. through
Ellingwood & Cunningham. its clear
ing house. by means Of Hackley, the
medium" to a member of the legisla-
ture.
Almost as startling as this bit OF
testimony was the evidence OF II. II.

first time. Nrceland, who was a men,

lions, admitted under a rapid fire OF
questions from NJ. Linn Bruce. the
committees counsel. that there had
been two sources Of revenue OF the as
ISOLATION. the dues and assessments.
He said. however. that the disburse-
ment Of the assessment fund was en-
tlrely in the hands OF Rogers, and that
he knew nothing Of it save that ii was
used for political purposes, and, he
thought. campaign contributions.
Gave to Both Parties.
The only specific contributions to
politics that the street railway mag
nate could remember that the Metro
politan had made was one OF $4,000
to the Republican state organization
in 1923. and one OF between $4,000
and $4,000 to the Democratic state
organization at the same time. He
could not be positive as to the year,
but thought the money was paid by
him in October by check, and at the
suggestion OF some indefinite person
connected with the company. He said,
however. that in his experience that
company and all corporations paid
contributions to all parties year by
year.

Woodrow Wilson, who was nominated

he would offer his resignation as the
president of Princeton university to

kilograms have been pouring in on
the Democratic nominee by the score.
DR.. Wilson mentioned especially one
from Frank 8. Katzenbach. Jr., Of
Trenton, his strongest rival for the
nomination. He said it was couched in
friendly terms and that he was glad to
acknowledge it publicly.
Regarding the campaign, DR.. Wilson
said that he does not expect to make

Just then, though, Sis appears from the
kitchen, her face all pink and white and her
sleeves pushed up past the dimples in her
elbows. Under thirty-nine cent blue and
white checked apron she's wearin lace
party dress that was dream. It's an odd
combination; but most anything would look
well on a little queen like her. She takes one
look at Skid, another at the Senator and
then behind the old man she spies Mother.
Well, it's just squeal from one, and a
sigh from the other, and then they've made
a rush to the center that wedges us all into
that little three-foot hall like it was the plat
form of subway car, and before anything
more can be said they've gone to a fond
clinch, each pattin' the other on the back
and passin' appropriate remarks.
Somehow, guess the Senator hadn't quite
figured on this part of the program. ex-
pect his plan was to be real polite and formal,
stay only long enough to let the young peo-
pie know he could stand it if they could, and
then back out digni6ed.
Whatever Mother might have meant to
do when she started, it was all off from the

sooner had we got ourselves untangled and
edged sideways into the cute little parlor,

out. Reckon we all know now who she is.
His words stung with their open scorn.
What followed Anne never rightly knew.
She was conscious only of being thrown vio
lently against the wall, with cartridge smoke
in her eyes, the smell of powder in her nos
trils, and in her ears the sickening crack of a
rifle shot, with a stifed cry ringing above it.
Then she was alone in the room but for
Creedes PROSTATE form across the threshold.
She was too benumbed to hear the shots
and oaths, the swish of horses feet in the
mud and water outside, or hearing them to
care.
1t was minutes before an all but inaudible
moan from the figure at her feet brought her
to her senses. Weakly she knet beside him;
but he did not reply to her frightened ques-
tioning and she sank back against the wall
miserably certain that he was dying-and
BY her fault! That was perfectly plain to
her. Had she not given direction to every
event from the instant of CarverS appear
ance to the entrance of the posse into the
saltroom? And this was what had come of
it! She stared mutely into Creede's up
TUNED face and wondered if all the years to
come could wipe out the accusation of MUIR

upon her.
As she gazed shaft of sunlight through

the window and lay full on him. Anne drew
in her breath audibly. With this physical
illumination came its spiritual counterpart.
Phil Creole had won his life and not lost it!
And she had helped him win it! And with
the knowledge of this spiritual truth came its
physical counterpart. A faint tremor passed
through the boys body. Again she was on
her knees beside him, bending over him:
but shadow obscured the shaft of light
THE Sheriff was standing in it speaking
l gruff1y. Carver made his getaway.
Mighty near drowned in the arroyo, though.
l couldn't send my men to sure death after
him. But you amt made your getaway, |

The insolence of his tone enraged her.
Her voice refused to come with her first
effort, and when it did it sounded tense and
unreal. This man needs help. We must
do something for him instead of spending
time exchanging insults"
MY business is with you first. You lied
to me about Carver being here, and you
tried mighty hard to keep us out of that
room. You amt much of woman to try
to save scoundrel who shot your husband

and YOU the cause of the shooting, at that.
I knew you disappeared when Carver did;
but never thought you had the spunk to 60
with him."
The girl leaped to her feet, her eyes blaz-
ing, her slight figure rigid with unsurpassed
wrath. Beneath her look the Sheriff quailed.
Neither of them noticed that the man on the
floor between them had opened his eyes to
full consciousness of the scene and then
closed them again-but not to oblivion.
CREEDE'S mind was cursedly clear. In a
- few lightning seconds he had weighed
all the evidence and found it-convicting
This girl had come to his cabin unbidden.
She had put him in Carver's power when she
delivered over the six-shooter. She had
warned Carver of the posses approach. She
had .proffered her horse for his escape. The
whole plan was premeditated- success
full! Carver had escaped, Carver, whom he
meant to kill! And then, his brain still pre-
ternaturally clear, the evidence did not con-
vict; did not convict because he was glad
Carver had escaped and he knew that but for
Anne he would not have been glad.
He opened his eyes suddenly Anne was
speaking.
'Ill tell you the TRUTH she was saying
passionately. Il was trying to save this
man. this one, tell you!"
Truth has the quality of being believed,
and though the Sheriff could not under
stand he could not doubt.
And l would have saved him if one of
your miserable bullets"
1t was Carver,s bullet. He thought
Creole had given him away" The officers
tone was subdued, apologize.
Il tried to save him!" Anger was dying
from her tone. The vibration in it, however,
made the Sheriff look away sympathetically.
"You have" 1t was Creole speaking, and
the girl went down on her knees beside
him. He took one of her hands in his rev.
erently. Il amt exactly fit to live; but l
am going to do it," His voice was steady,
determined. 1--WE got to live to prove am
worth the trouble you went to, to prove I'm
worth saving. I've got quite few things to
do which will prevent me dying at present.
Got to see to it that Carver is put right
about my not giving him up. Got to let
Goals of fire sizzle my scalp awhile for doubt

His voice faltered, but not from failing
strength. He closed his eyes and trembled
from head to foot; for Anne had laid her
other hand on his.
