A MIDST a storm of whispered
"a criticisms, the general opinion
4 \ was that Lefty Shaw was a
silly little fool who ought to have
known better. When she had entered
the restaurant few minutes before
midnight, followed by Austin Abbott
every one looked to see third person
following them. No third person, how
ever, appeared. There was no gainsay-
ing the fact that Lefty and her escort
proposed supping alone
Lefty Shaw, being one of the prin-
cipal ornaments of the London musical
comedy stage, was well known to every
one in the room. There was scarcely
a person there who within the last
fortnight had not found an opportunity
of congratulating her upon her engage
ment to Captain, the Hon. B. Brian
Sotherst. Lefty Shaw, although she
had had one or two harmless airtations
was well known as self-FesPecting and
haTd-working young actress who loved
her work, and against whom no one
had ever a word to say. Consequently,
the shock was all the greater, when she
was thus to be seen openly supping
alone with a man of bad reputation,
man, too, toward whom Sotherst was
known to have a special aversion.
Her best friend rose to her feet and
came sailing down the room. She nod
ded gayly to Abbott, howm she hated
and whom she had not recognized for
years, and laid her hand upon Lettys
arm.
Where's Brian?" she asked.
Lefty shrugged her shoulders.
"On duty tonight" she answered.
Her best friend paused for a moment.
Come over and join our party, both
of you" she said.
Lefty shook her head slowly.
I'm afraid that we can't do that"
she said. a am Mr.. Abbott's guest"
'And tonight" Austen Abbott in
tervened, Il am not disposed to share
Miss Shaw with anybody"
The two were left alone for the rest
of the evening. When they departed
together, people who knew felt that
Whit of tragedy had passed through
the room. Nobody understood-or pre-
tended to understand. Even before her
engagement, Lefty had never been
known to sup alone with man. That
she should do so now, and with this
particular man, was preFosteTous!

MAYBE RUNNING
MATE FOR TEDDY

Kersey, June 24.-What sounded
like the staging of Paul Reyeire's
ride with Gathering hoofs. turned
out to be a running horse that cir
cled the town at least six times in
the, small hours Of the morning.
Chester Talbot had just returned
from a ride with his friend, and had
tied the animal. The horse bolted,
circled the town with the buggy
trailing behind, and finally ended
up in the livery stable after it had
fenced" the buggy. The buggy
was found undamaged up against
Fred James fence. The horse had
jumped the fence and left the buggy
ON the other side. The animal
resented present political tendencies
of being on both sides of the fence,
SO jumped over.
