was long enough coming, goodness
knows, but if it had appeared sooner, |
should have gone before you arrived"
Orme understood The girl had
telephoned to Bessie while he waited
there on La Sale street She had
planned meeting that would satisfy
him with full knowledge of her name
and place. And the lateness of the
car in reaching Arradale was unques-
tionably owing to the fact that 1t had
not set out on its errand until after
the girl reached home and gave her
chauffeur the order Orme welcomed
this evidence that she had got home
safely.
Bessie jumped lightly into the ton
neau. and Orme followed. The car
glided from the grounds. Eastward
1t went. through the pleasant, rolling
farming country, that was wrapped IN
the beauty of the starry night. They

sic, that this is so-called north branch
of the Chicago river"
81 would believe anything about that
river" he replied.
She laughed nervously. He knew
that she was suppressing her natural
interest in the scene she had wit
messed on the veranda; yet, of course,
she was expecting some explanation
Bessie" he said, Il am sorry to
have got into such a muss there at
the club. The Japanese minister was
the last man ! wanted to see."
She did not answer.
Perhaps your friend-whom we are
now going to visit-will explain things

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema / have
ever heard Of My mother had child
who had a rash on it's head when ii
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t
did no good. In few days the head
was solid mass; a running sore. 1t
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got dollar bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar Of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura ONT
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and 1t has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head OF hair.
/ think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

That's SOL"
How time does go! Seas the
car turned at a crossing-"we are go
ing northward. We are bound for
the village of Winnetka. Does that
tell you anything?"
Nothing at all, said Orme, striving
vainly to give the Indian name place
in his mind.
On they sped. Orme looked at his
watch. 1t was half-past ten.
I'VE must be nearly there" he said.
Yes. it's only little way, now"
They were going eastward again,
following a narrow dirt road. Sud
denly the chauffeur threw the brakes
on hard. Orme and Bessie, thrown
forward by the sudden stopping.
clutched the sides of the car. There
was q crash, and they found them
selves in the bottom of the tonneau.
Orme was unframed. Are you all
right, Bessie?" he asked.
"All right" Her voice was CHEEKY.
He leaped to the road. The chauf-
feur had descended and was hurrying
to the front of the car.
What was it?' asked Orme
Some one pushed a wheelbarrow
into the road just as we were COM
ing"
"A wheelbarrow!"
Yes, sir There it is
Orme looked at the wheelbarrow.
1t was wedged under the front of the
car. He peered off into the field at
the left. Dimly he could see a run
ming figure, and he hastily climbed the
rail fence and started in pursuit.
It was a hard sprint The running
man was fast on his feet, but his
speed did not long serve him, for he
stumbled and fell. He did not rise,
and Orme, coming up, for the moment
supposed him to be stunned.
Bending over, he discovered that
the PROSTATE man was painting hard,
and digging his hands into the turf.
Get up" commanded Orme
The man got 70 his knees and. turn
ing, raised supplicating hands.
"Poritol." exclaimed Orme.
"On, Mr. Orme, spare me. It was
an accident" His face worked con-
vulsively. Il" Something like
sob escaped him. and Orme again
found himself divided between con-
tempt and pity.

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped TO be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, il requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
You, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy and is certainly the most
economical after all.

CHAPTER xVII.-continued.

He thought himself safe" contin-
ued Orme, but my friend had caught
the back of the motor car just as it
started. He climbed silently into the
tonneau, and throwing his arm around
the neck OF the thief, pulled him back
ward from his seat.
THE car was ditched and my friend
and the thief were both thrown out.
My friend was not hurt The thief,
however, had his leg broken"
What happened them" inquired
the minister; for Orme had paused.
"Oh, my friend took the proxies
from the thiefs pocket and walked
away. He stopped at the nearest
farmhouse and sent help back"
Even in America" commented the
minister, the frien's of the injured
man might see that his hurt was
avenge. The man who caused the ac-
cident should be made to suffer"
"Oh. no." said Orme. IF the matter
were pressed at all, the correct thing
with the broken leg. He had stolen
the papers in the first place. Harm
came to him, when he tried to escape
with the papers after stealing them.
But as a matter of fact, the average
American would consider the affair at
an end"
Your story and rn,ne are dissim-
liar" remarked the minister
Perhaps. But they involve a SINH
lar question: Whether a man should
yield passively to a power that APP
pears to be stronger than his own. In
America we do not yield passively
unless we understand all the bearings
of the case, and see that it is right
to yield"
At this moment a motor car came
ND the drive. There's our car, Bob,
said Bessie. wait a moment, while
] get my wraps. know that you are
impatient TO go"
Il know that you are a good friend
he whispered, as she arose.
He did not care to remain with the
group in Bessie's absence. With a
bow, he turned to stroll by himself
down the veranda. But the minister
Jumped to his feet and called:
Mr. Orme!"
Orme looked back please be so
good as to return" continued the min
lister.
With mere politeness. Orme halted,
and took a step back toward his chair
An air of startled expectancy was
manifest in the position taken by the
different members OF the group The
minister's voice had sounded sharp
and authoritative, and he now stepped
forward a pace or two, stopping at a
point where the light from one of the
clubhouse windows fell full on his
face. Clearly he was laboring under
great excitement.
You have something to say to me?"
inquired Orme. He foresaw an effort
to cetain him.

Daring Engineering Feat Proposed to
Save the Great Falls From
Becoming Less
Attractive.
NEEDS BUILDING UP
p QUARREL OVER JURORS
Erosion 10 Eating Out the Brink of
the Falls and Should be
Given Prompt At
tention.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Oct. 30
One of the most daring engineering
feats ever conceived has been pro-
posed by Senex Smith, an engineer OF
Washington, D. c. He recommends a
surgical operation on Niagara Falls
at the very point where the deluge
hurls itself thickest.
For some years tourists have no.
ticed in the Horseshoe Falls great
v-shaped notch, twenty or more feet
deep and from 70 to so feet across
from leg to leg. Because the volume
of water is greater here than at any
other point, the notch looms up
against the greenish white crest line
like a huge dark green patch. Senti-
mental visitors have named this notch
the Great Green Heart AS a mat
ter of fact, however, the "Great Green
Heart" is nothing but a virulent can
Ger that is threatening to ruin the
Falls. The water at this point found
soft spot in the underlying rock and
has eaten into it, gouging out a
twenty-foot deep channel. The deep
er the channel grows the more water
1 flows into it from the shallower ends
I OF the Falls, and the more the water
! Is diverted into it the more relent-
llessly the channel deepens.
| According to report by U. S.
army engineers, to be submitted when
congress convenes, the Horseshoe
Falls are eating their way upstream
at the rate Of five feet year. The
erosion is still greater in the y-shaped
notch that now threatens to turn the
entire Falls into mere narrow
gorge whirlpool.
Mr.. Smiths plan, which is an
nounced by the Scientific American. is
for the state of New York and the
province of Ontario to erect a tenn
porary dam in the rapids at the yer.
head of the Horseshoe SO as to deflec
the Niagara river over the Canadian
end of the Falls. When the rock ur
der the Great Green Heart" had beer
thus laid bare, the ugly notch woult
be filed in and built up with concrete
and Portland cement to the prope
4 level. After this a vanadium steel sill
would be laid along the entire ledge 0
tho precipice. This would prevent th'
water from eating into the rocks TO
centuries to come, and would restor
to the Falls their original natura
beauty.
