confession, thus far fallen, had he, not
three hours since, been united in mar

monstrous it seemed now! How the

could hoodwink? Still again, there
reverberated the policeman's sapient
contribution to his agony: "A man
these days and nights wants to know
what his women folks are up to-" Oh,
yes, he had been a fool; he had
looked at things from the wrong
standpoint.
With a high and stubborn indigna-
ton upon him, he retraced his steps
to the intersecting street by which he
had come from that preposterous we'd
ding. At last, when he reached the
dark. calamitous building in which
his madness had eliminated, and
found the black hallway, he dashed
down it, perceiving no light or sound.
RI,t he raised his voice hailiDg loudly,
reckless of everything but that he
should find the old mischiefmaker
with the eyes that looked far away to
see the disaster he had wrought. The
door opened, and in the stream OF

in an aimless fashion. After drifting
for two or three squares, he flowed
into a somewhat more pretentious
thoroughfare
AS he stood before q window near
corner, his ears were assailed by a
waxing clamor and commotion.
Two ponderous policemen were con-
Quoting between them woman
dressed as II for the stage, in a short,
white, satiny skirt reaching to the
knees, pink stockings, and sort of
sleeveless bodice, bright with relucent,
armor-like scales. Upon her curly,
light hair was perched, at rollicking
angle, shining tin helmet The cos
tune was to be instantly recognized
as one of those amazing conceptions
to which competition has carried the
inventors of the spectacular ballet.
The young woman fixed her I'M
shrinking gaze upon Lorison, and
called to him in the voice of the
wronged heroine in straits:
Say! You look like a good fell

you? I've done nothing to get pinched

they're treating me! You won't be

ing dragged along the streets this

1t may be that Lorison, in spite of
the unconvincing pathos of this ap-
peal, showed a sympathetic face, for
one of the officers left the woman's
side, and went over to him.

husky. confidential tone; she's the

Lorison-their conference being re-

tion-which reflected his own impor-
tance-by a little afterpiece of ph1lo-
sophIcal comment.

and returned to the side Of his
charge, who had been intently watch

Now, at the failure of the sign, and at

She concluded with a haunting. shrill
laugh that rasped Lorison like saw,
as the policeman urged her forward.
Then there came upon Lorison an
overwhelming revulsion of his per-

transformed from a somewhat rancid
prowler along the f1shy side streets of
gentility into an honest gentleman,
with whom even SO lordly guardian

The Happy Valley of Rasselas,

climate, neither too hot nor too cold,
sits high above all malarial swamps,
is not very far from the sea (sea gulls
have been killed near Winchester
more than once), is set in the heart
of the mountains, with the long, love-
ly sweep of the Blue Ridge RAINING
through it, is we'll, even richly wood
ed and as we'll watered by beautiful
streams from beginning to end. There
are plenty of more famous valleys in
the world, of course, but none that
will better repay one for making its
acquaintance, none that are never
over flowed, nor swept by tornadoes,
nor threatened by tidal waves, nor in
danger from earthquakes. Its secu-

STRAsBUkG co. TO LlQUIDATE

The Strasburg Hardwood Manu-
featuring Co., Of Strasburg, Va, a
cooperation having property values
well towards 100000, employing
number of skilled men, and one of the
chief industries of the lower Valley
town. has decided 10 liquidate its
fairs.
j. ] Corbett, Of Suffolk, has been
named as receiver, and it is said that
h. will either run the plant himself, or
| will sell to other parties whom it is
believed will continue the business.
Primarily. the receivership is not
the result Of forced foreclosure by
the company's creditors. bit
grows out of a suit entered
| in the Norfolk courts last Wednesday
by E. L. Folk senior partner of the
firm, against E. P. Gebhard, who
4, has been in charge OF the plant here
since its organization scme years
ago, to terminate their partnership.
1t appears that Messrs. Folk and
Gerhard had five year agreement
which has either expired or will ma
ture very shortly. Mr.. Folk, desiring
to discontinue the partnership was
forced under the circumstances to
either liquidate or have receiver
appointed to dispose of the company's
affairs and he chose the latter method.
The cau>e Of the apparent unsatis-
factory business relations between
Meesrs. Gebhard ard Folk grows out
of the formers failure to realize from
large New York City contract. 1t
$ ems that the company had an i'm
mense contract with New York
building firm for woodwork and that
the order was entirely worked up and
delivered Then came strike Oh
something on the building, which pre-
vented the company from realizing or
the building at once. 1t is said
h pwever, that settlement will be made
when material is used.
