heard heavy feet tramping up and
down the hall; once a drunken man
endeavored vainly to open his door;
not far away there was a scuffie, and
the sound of body falling down stairs.
In some distant apartment fellow
was struggling to draw off his tight
boots, skipping about on one foot
amid much profanity. That the boot
conquered was evident when the man
crawled into the creaking bed. an

LIQUID refreshments from below. From
somewhere beyond, the long-drawn
melancholy howl of distressed dog
greeted the rising moon.

How the Late Tom johnson, in Early
Life, Squirmed Out ct Very
Tight Place.

When the late Tom Johnson started
in life he drove a horse car in In
dianapolis.
One night there war big storm
of sleet and snow and the tracks were
almost hidden, Johnson was on the
night shift. and in the STORM he drove
his car two blocks 5eyonS curve be-
fore he realized the car was off the
tracks and slipping along on the ice.
He tried to pull the car back and
failed, Thereupon he unhitched the
horses, drove them back to the barn
and left the car where it was.
Next day the superintendent called
him. Here. Johnson" he said. what
TO you mean by driving car of the
track and then leaving 1t in the
street,"
Why" Johnson replied. suavely.

interviewing Willoughby.

| interviewing Wilioughby.
Coolly, yet without in the least
comprehending how best to proceed,
Keith drew toward him the only chair
in the room, and sat down. Miss
Hope-more widely known as Christie
| Maclaire-had claimed this drunken
lad as her brother, but. according to
| Hawley, he had vehemently denied
any such relationship. Yet there must
| be some previous association between
| the two and what this was the plains
man proposed to discover. The PROB
| lem was how best to cause the fellow
! more easily by reference to the girl
or the gambler? Keith studying the
sullen, obstinate face confronting
him, with instructive antagonism over
his intrusion, swiftly determined on
the girl
1T was not very nice of me to come
in on you this way" he began, apollo
getically, but you see happened TO

my sister? Oh, guess mott!

fdence into his tone he was far from
feeling, Miss Hope and are friends.
The boy sprang to his feet, his face
flushed.
"Oh. you mean Hope? Do you know

me that old gag about Christie
Maclaire."
Certainly not; who is she?"

got it out of him that she claimed to
be my sister, but her name was
Maclaire. Why, don't even know
her, and what do you suppose she
ever picked me out for her brother
for?"
He was plainly puzzled, and perfect
ly convinced it was all a mistake.
That his sister might have left home
since he did. and drifted West under
an assumed name, apparently never
occurred to him as possible. To Keith
this was the explanation. and nothing
could be more natural, considering
her work. yet he did not feel like
shattering the lads loyalty. Faith in
the sister might yet save him.
perhaps the fellow who told you
he hazarded blindly, speaking the first
thought which came to his mind. had
some reason to desire to make you
think this Maclaire girl was your sis
ter"
The suggestion caused him to laugh
at first; then his face suddenly sob

eyes filed with suspicion.

GRAND DISPLAY OF EMERY.
Wcna Ladies Given a Treat in Arr
 tistic Work at Elks Home.

A visitor to the Elks Home Thursday would have every reason to consider Mena in her Tine of evolution in all things that go to make the home beautiful" |" as we'll as appeal to the artistic sense that leads not only to higher living, but higher thinking. The occasion was an exhibit tunder the auspices of Mrs. J. w. Klemm) the work done by the four embroidery clubs of the city. The Elks kindly gave the use of their Home for the exhibit The clubs participating were The Busy Hour, Tuesday En- broidery Club. Children's Matinee and the Needleeraft. Their club colors were respectively purple, pink, blue and green.
 The result of the united efforts of these organizations greeted one on every side, the beautiful work done by the children deserving especial mention. The work of the other three clubs was a treat to finger over, the finest embroidery of ev- cry kind being executed in a style that was pronounced simply per feet.
 From the fruits of the needle one was led to the exhibit of paintings, in oil, water colors and china that could not be excelled for dainty coloring and perfect execution. This booth was under the supervis- ion of Mrs. Flick, and also contained her work, which proves her a most valuable addition to Menas Art Colony.
 Mrs. S. s. Baker and Mrs. T. F. kidwell served a most refreshing ice punch.
 It is to be regretted that each and every member of the various con- mitttees could not be mentioned, and not only congratulated on their work, but also thanked for their kind and courteous treatment of the visitors, but especial mention must be made of Mrs. Klemm, the leading spirit and organizer of the various clubs. Aside from great natural gifts along the lines of art, she has had every advantage that the great Eastern cities can give, having taught with success in Bos- ton, Washington and other places. and now in Mena by her gentleness, patience and untiring energy she is last developing talents otherwise dormant and leading the elder as well as the younger generation to higher standards of home life, for not only does it serve to beautify. but fills creditably many an hour that might otherwise be trifled away. May the good work thrive and grow. A Well Wisher.
