was hearing his friends voice now,
the voice of utter anguish, calling his
name. At last painful effort brought
him to his knees. He saw the Judge,
clothed principally in gaily colored
bed-ouilt, hatless and shoelesS, his
face sodden and bleary from his
nights debauch. Mahaffy stood erect
and staggered toward him, his hand
over his wound, his features drawn
and livid, then with a cry he dropped
at his friends feet.

Judge knelt beside him.
Its all right, Price; l kept your
appointment" whispered Mahaffy; a
bloody spume was gathering on his
lips, and he stared up at his friend
with CLASSY eyes.
In very shame the judge hid his
face in his hands, while sobs shook
him.
"Solomon-Solomon, why did you
do this?" he cried miserably.
The harsh lines on the dying mans
face erased themselves.
You're the only friend I've known
in twenty years of loneliness, Price
I've loved you like a brother, ne
painted, with a pause between each
word.

to touch him on the brow, the soft

Wash it with white soap in the
usual way, wiring out the centerpiece
have a piece of white muslin or a
sheet spread upon the carpet, then
take the centerpiece and spread it on
the sheet or muslin, which should be
larger than the centerpiece, pin the
centerpiece all around the edges, and
see that 1t is smooth. After it is
pinned out put cover over it to
keep it clean while It is drying. This
Is an easier and better way than iron
Ing. Re sure that the centerpiece is
dry before taking 1t up.

a loan upon his personal belongings
without being under the necessity Of
first calling for refreshment
This strange combination of bust
ness dates from the reign of George
", who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole applied to the
landlord of the castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain.
By royal warrant few days later
he invested that obliging boniface
with the right Of advancing money on
pledges, and from that time down to
the present a pawnbroker's license
has been annually granted to the
Castle. This hostelry is mentioned
once or twice by Dickens-Stray

Tourists Who Wanted Boat Ride
on Sunday Finally Overcame
Sandy's Scruples.

A couple of tourists staying at
village which Is in close proximity to
a well known Scottish loch had fancy
one fine Sunday to go for row on the
loch. They accordingly sailed forth
in search OF the boatman, whom they
met just leaving his house dressed In
his Sunday best and carrying Bible
under his arm.
I'VE want to go for a row." said one
of the tourists.

Shapsiess Jacket.

Many of the smartest little satin and
silk coats are very vague in line. left
unlined, or lined with chiffon. Straight,
shapeless, self-trimmed little garments
though they are. they are invaluable
for slipping on over dainty frocks.
A little coat Of this type may have
the neck and sleeve corners carefully
turned back to show lining of vivid
chiffon or gaily lowered soft silk. A
coat of a bright color with a scarf
girdle or sash to match is often worn
with d skirt or one piece frock OF
white or neutral tone, and always
looks pretty with the lingerie roca.

Something has occurred to detain

The colonel and Ware exchanged

minutes slipped by in this manner
and once more Fentress addressed
Mahaffy.

Good Idea,

A woman noted for her careful house

reau drawers painted white and then
treated with a coat Of cream colored
enamel.
This, she declares, is more sanitary
than any lining pad could be and when
cleaning is necessary all that is re-
ouired is to wipe them out with a
damp cloth.
1t is good idea to treat pantry and
kitchen shelves in the same manner.

Talk the Fountain of Life.

A well-known doctor has recently
propounded rather a curious theory.
He says:
Actresses and actors and all pub,
lie speakers. lecturers, statesmen,
politicians, professors-all live to a
great age as a rule because they use
their lungs. The average person
doesn't breathe properly and does not
make sufficient use of his lungs.
Breathe as much as you can and talk
as much as you can. That is the
recipe for reaching an old age and re-
naming young"
Some one whispered: Now l see
why women generally live longer
than men. They talk more"

Couture Modes.

Fringes both straight and curled
still persist, out only a few strands
of hair are cut upon the forehead.
Puffs and curls are arranged from
back to front instead of following the
line Of the brow, and the dressing is
done very softly and with strong
bias in favor of the side parting.
There are no longer any coils show
ing on the top of the head, but ths
back is covered with puffs SO soft and
fat that they look like waves.
