Daily Short Story
The Lady Of the Launch

Give my respects to aunt Lettie. Now
that you are a great lady you will
think of me and the fun we've had
in the old boat sometimes. We've had
, some rare times haven't we?"
"Splendidr' said Mercia. Il know
you're fshy, so go to the pump and
wash yourself" and we'll have some
tea in the garden. And then you can
tell me all about your play.
She vanished into the cottage and
Masterton threw off his coat and
turned up his sleeves. The wealth of
the world would not spoil Mercia. but
he could not stoop to be a fortune
hunter. His castles of hope had
crumpled away before this torrent of
wealth He dipped his hands into the
cool water and raised them to his
face Then he flushed scarlet. Two
people were talking behind the laurel
hedge, and he recognized the rather
acid voice of Mercia's aunt and COM
panion, Miss Lettie. and the thin treble
of the wears wife.
I'm going to take her away" said
Miss Lettie. There were se5,0 paid
into the bank for her yesterday. It's

thing against young Masterton, but
young girls are foolish creatures, and
money is a great temptation
Masterton put Non his coat. There
was rustic of skirts and Mercia
stood before him with a towel in her
hand and laughter in her eyes. The
laughter died out of her eyes as she
saw his face. set and grim.
What's the matter. Jack?" she
asked. You look quite ferocious."
Everything the matter, Mercia- I
must go back at once. 1 am ferocious
with everybody and everything except
you. and especially with myself. And
all the same he added with his voice
softening. I'm very glad about you
very. very gISd. I'm off now. and

Il am tired of it all. auntie-abso-
lutely tired said Mercia.
Miss Lettie glanced at her with no
little satisfaction, as did the maid.
Mercia was wonderful. She clasped
diamond necklace round her throat,
and looked at herself in the mirror,
but without pride or satisfaction. Pau

on, the lots on which the Y. w C. A.
home is now standing purchased and
other work done largely through the
financial aid of the men of FL PasO,

WHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE
Apt Remark of Small Boy Embsr
raised Topper and Filled Car
With Merriment.

Jimmie, who is a very small boy
living in the East end, accompanied
his mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, so he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car ~homebound was an
individual who, judging by the "blos-
som" on his nose. had partaken freely
of joy water. None of Jimmie's neigh
bors possessed an appendage that
could compare with the one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the STU
ation and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in a loud voice:
Mamma, is that Santa CLAUSE"
pointing to the man with the red nose.
Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but it al no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue of
the man.
"Why, mamma, didn't it say in that
story about Santa Claus that Santa
had a nose like a cherry" he asked,
and the car was in an uproar.-Pitts-

Fritz the gardener was a stolid Ger
man VINO was rarely moved TO eX-
traordinary. language. Even the most
provocative occasions only caused him
to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not
long ago he came back from the city
in the late evening after a hard day
in the market place. He was sleepy.
and the train being crowded, the bag
gaeeman gave him a chair in his
roomy car.
Finally the train reached Bloom

and his friend had to shake him and
tell him where he was.

slowly to his feet. The open door of
the car was directly in front of him.
He walked straight out Of it.

RAINY DAY SKIRT.

This is a very good suggestion for
keeping overskirt out of the wet on a
rainy day. 1t will be found a great
convenience. Buy a piece of broad
black elastic, a yard. Form it into
g circle large enough to fit the hips.
A hook and eye on both ends will be
perhaps better than sewing the elastic
into a circle. On a wet day put this
circle of elastic about the hips over
the outside skirt, then pull up the
skirts evenly till around the elastic
and above it. This will lift the skirt
from the ground! A coat may then
be slipped on, when the elastic will
never show. The skirt will stay up,
which will be found a great relief
from, holding it. You. will also do
away with crushing the skirt by hold
ing it in your hand.-Newark Call.

TO CLEAN Wells.

Referring to the fashionable white
wells, perhaps some of you may like
to have a few hints as to how they
may be cleaned at home, for the pro-
cess is by no means difficult. Put a
good-sized piece of soap in a basin
of boiling water and make a thick
lather. Have the lace rolled around
a bottle or glass plaque, and put this
into the suds. Let it soak for half an
nour at least; if very much soiled,
the lace may be left in a great deal
longer. Then put it into a fresh hot
lather, and afterwards rinse it thor
oughly in cold water. When the veil
is spotless spread it out to dry on a
clean cloth, pulling it gently into
shape. When dry, stiffen it by dip
ping into a little gum water (half an
ounce of gum arabic to a quart OF
water), then press it while stilbdamp,
having pulled it out nicely each way
to keep it in the right shape.-Paris

TASTE IN HALL DECORATING.

LIZ IN GALL
In choosing the color for a hall
says Lucy Abbot Throop, in the cur
rent Woman's Home Companion, the
amount of light in it must be taken
into account as we'll as the size. II
it is bright and sunny, darker and
richer effects may be used even if il
is ]fairly small, but it must be remem'
bered that dark colors absorb arti.
fetal as we'll as natural light. Choose
a light, warm, general tone and have
all the rooms opening from the hal
form a harmonious color scheme.
When the woodwork is white. q
gray landscape paper above the
w%ainstcoting and a plain gray blue
stair carpet and rug of Oriental de-
sign in blues and browns will make
a most charming hall. A mirror in
a dull gold frame, with a small ma
hogany table and two mahogany
chairs OF Colonial design, will prob
ably be all the furniture it is possible
to use. At the zeal OF the hall have
a screen to conceal the hat-tree Or the
hooks used for the coats, and also put
the umbrella rack behind. it.
If the hall is so small that a table
and chairs are out of the question,
it is a good plan to have a chest In
stead. This can be made useful in
many ways, and will serve as a table
for the maids card tray and as q seal
for the waiting messenger boy.

CINE, running amuck, like a crazy liv-

thing he could do with n hand. al
most with one finger, if he got hold
right.
He made a second clutch at the

could not afford another mistake
The next time his fingers hooked
round a joint. and he pulled up to
break it: but it would not give way.
The fireman had a vision of what
would happen in a few seconds more
He saw the engine sweep through
the barrier and fiimsy fence, and hurl
itself like a battering-ram against the
granite walls of the waiting-room'
He saw the cars piling against it and
topping over on each side. He heard
shrieks, groans, the hiss and roar OF
steam.
He gave a strong, sudden jerk, and
the pipe snapped apart.
Phil had not time or strength to
get out. The best he could do was to
hang there, praying that the brakes
might hold. If the engine struck
anything he would be mashed to pulp
or ground under the wheels.
Far back to the very end OF the
train he heard a shrieking. a grind
ing, as the brakes caught at the spin
ming wheels, hung to them, dragged
at them. Would they hold in time?
He had done all he could.
A shadow fell over him. The hot
blast from beneath suddenly stopped,
and the camel-back roared under the
roof of the long train-shed. The
,blare of a band mingled with the
rumble Of the wheels. Beyond the
pipes he saw a commandery drawn
up ON parade; he caught fitting
glimpses of white gloves, swords and
gold-laced uniforms. The music
ceased; cries, alarmed, warning, filled
the air. He stifened himself for the
final tremendous shock.
The train stopped with a last squeal
of brakes.
He tumbled off and glanced for
ward. An ~innumerable throng with
countless hands outstretched was
rushing toward him, but before it
closed round him he saw two "1040s"
with their noses almost touching the
double barrier at the end of the rails.
