THE DAILY SHORT STORY
Patience Duly Rewarded.

Bob Davenport had spent 20
consecutive evenings at the Lake
Park skating rink Skating in
itself, had nothing to do with his
presence there. He was not par
ticularly graceful, and he did not
like to skate.
On the first of the 20 evenings,
he had dropped in there to spend
an idle hour. And had stayed
many hours because of a 1.-THE fig
ure in white, possessing lustrous
eyes, which in no way could be
persuaded to rest upon Robert
Davenport for longer than one
second at a time, and which al
ways were surrounded by a cir
Gle of humble but persistent adj
mirers.
He did not dare to speak to her
but he was a hopeful young man
with a large belief in the goodness
of an overseeing Providence. So
he attended the skating rink
with regularity and longing eyes.
And on the twentieth night, he
was rewarded. Backwards, and
on the left inside edge, she skat
ed into his arms. Bob Davenport
showed how excellently he was
fitted to save girl from falling.
The girl looked up into his eyes.

export, and then, as the girl
gasped, he added, eff you say
How dare your, l shall never

nerve!" said the girl.

The girl said nothing very ex->
pressively, and Bob promptly ap-
propriated her for. the rest of the
evening, Being APPARENTLY entirely
unaware of the scowls of the COT
erie-of young men, who had inju-
diciously conspired to divide up
the time of Miss Eloise Forsythe,
which, as she explained to Bob in
a hushed moment, was her name.
At the end of the evening, Bob
proposed seeing Miss Forsythe
home. But that voting lady said
No with definiteness that left
of no question: a.
So he went. home. himself in
stead, and smoked many pipefuls
of tobacco, and specialized on the
size of his income, and the kind
of house he would like to live
in if he were married, He decid-r
ed on a very dainty house, all in
white.
The next evening, Bob again
sought the rink. And the girl
was not there. Nor was she the
next night, nor the next. But as
has been mentioned, Bob was
man of patience, and the fourth q
night, he skated gaily to where. !

The Jury Returns Unanimous Verdict

BY Special Correspondent.
A Jury consisting of Soma Of the
most distinguished chemists OF
America has returned an unanimous
verdict of mot guilty" in the case OF
Knocker ct al, VS., Coca Cola. u
will be remembered that some time
ago a report was circulated that
Coca-Cola contained injurious ma
terials and was, therefore, harmful
in its effect upon the human body.
The rumor was originated by an
interruptions competitor of Coca
Cola, the popular temperance drink
spread rapidly and found some
credence among those who did not
know tho origin of the report
Tie Jury finds that not only does
Coco-Cola contain nothing harmful
| but that it is much superior to tea
! and coffee in that it is free from
| fannie acid and, therefore, promotes
| digestion instead of rCtarding It.
Each of the distinguished chemists
reported that he had made careful
chemical analysis of Coca Cola end
found it to contain no "doEc' OF
any kind. If you would like to see
copies of these letters, write to the
Coca-Cola Co, Atlanta, &C., for a
free copy of booklet entitled Tho
Truth About Coca-Cola." The Jury
was as follows:
