sharp eyes on the people in his section.
and as the heavy battens from which
the scenery was hung came crashing
| to the stage one man sprang to his feet.
He was sitting in the fourth row, and
IN a flash Billy realized that should
this man break the order of departure
there would be a crush in which many
would be hurt
Billy still carried his now useless
tray. and quick as fash he pretended
to stumble and fall against the panic
stricken man. In falling he thrust the
fellow back into his seat, and the ice.
cold water drenched the mans face
and neck and uickled down inside OF
his clothing.
Those near by laughed, and the
crowd, which had been upon the verge
OF a panic, cooled down. The panic
was averted.
But Billy had slipped on one OF the
thick tumblers rolling under his feet.
In an instant he was on the floor OF
the aisle on top Of the clutter of bro
ken glass, and his face and arms were
badly cut before the girl In "E 112"
could spring to his relief.
Strong arms bore the boy 10 the
head of the aisle, where already the
crowd with the assurance that the fire
was all over And almost before he
realized it Billy was lying on the sofa
In the retiring room, and ''E 112f' was
bathing the cut hands and face with
soft cloths, while Calkins stood help
lessly by.
"Gee," said Billy ruefuIly, sT bet 4

looks like been working In q butcher
shop"
Nonsense" broke in Carkins, who
could be human at times, though it
was seldom that he exhibited this
trait. You saved the day, Billy, and
you can have a new uniform every
week If you want one. This lady tells
me that in drenching that fool you
stopped a panic"
"Well, he had it coming to him."
said Billy. HE was husky guy in ID
112,' and he had the willies, he was so
scared I says to myself that If he
got 'em runnin' e 112' wouldn't have
any show. So plugged him wit the
glasses, and then he was good for
awhile. 1 wouldn't let them walk all
over you" he added to the girl.
The glorious eyes grew more tender
as she realized what the boy was say
ing. Men naQ sought TO 90 great
things to show their love for their
ladyloves, but this boy of twelve was
as brave and as fearless as any knight
who ever wore his 1ady's favor in his
helmet.
His thought had been solely for her,
yet he had probably saved scores from
death or injury, and it was she who
was responsible for the deed. Slowly
she bent her beautiful head and press
ed her lips against his own.
"It was very brave Of you, DEAR"
she said in a whisper. 'T am very
proud to think that 1T was for me you
did 80 fine a deed"
Billy biushed; then he looked with
adoring eyes into the brown ones that
were searching his face.
I'D burn DOWN the theater every
Tuesday-when you come-for that"
he declared as he 1apsed into uncon-
seriousness. and It was Miss Golden's
turn to blush Could he but know it
Billy had for the moment become
more than boy. He was q man ana

he gave the signal to the stage man
ager to lower the fire curtain.
AS the great asbestus shield descend
ed one Of the actors stepped before the
curtain line and made an announce
ment that an accident had occurred.
There is positively no danger" he
assured, "but merely as a precaution
you are asked to leave the house as
quickly as possible"
The band was still playing and the
people In the rear Of the house were
moving toward the entrance when the
stage hands in the flies cut the ropes
and permitted the scenery to fall to
the stage, where the IRE could be
fought with greater ease.
Until then there had been an orderly
movement At the speakers sugges-
ton the people In front were waiting
until those in the rear seats had gone
that there might be no crowding.

JUDGE ALLEN HANDS OUT SOME
INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS,

In his splendid charge to the
grand jury last Monday morning
Judge w. R. Allen said among other
good things that no man can know
how far-reaching heredity is. None
can tell to what an extent the par
ent leaves an impression on the child
not only in it's physical being, but in
its normal nature as we'll. That is
a true statement, but Judge Allen
brought most interesting facts to
support the statement, facts which
made every man in the crowded
court room stop and think Judge
Allen cited the case of Max Dukes,
a drunkard and a common bum,
noted character for thriftlessness
and intemperance. This Max Dukes
was born in 1920. Of his descend
ants 1900 have been identified and
of these 80 were inmates of poor
houses, 440 were viciously diseased,
SO were prostitutes, were murde-
rers and so were thieves. On the

The lovely passion flower takes
its name on account of it's charac-
teristics which symbolic the cir
cumstances of our Lords death and
passion. The leaves represent the
spear, the tendrils the cords with
which he was scourged, the ten pet
ais the ten apostles who deserted
Him, the central pillar the cross, the
stamens the hammers, the styles the
nails, the inner circle round the
crown of thorns. the white of the
center flower is typical of limo

of heaven. The fact that the pas
sion flower remains open for only

the death, burial and resurrection of

DON'T LET THE SONG GO OUT OF
YOUR LIFE.
Don't let the song &C out Of your
life;
Though it chance sometimes to
flow
In a minor strain, it will blend
again
With the major tone, you know.
What though shadows rise to OBJ
scure life's skies
And hide for time the sun;
They sooner will lift and reveal the
If you let the melody run.
Don't let the song go out of your
life;
Though your voice may have lost
it's trill,
Though the tremulous note should
die in the throat,
Let it sing in your spirit still.
There is never pain that hides not
some gain,
And never cup of rue
So bitter to sup, but that in the cup
Turks a measure o. sweetness, too.
Don't let the song go out of your
life;
All! it never would need to go
If with thought more true and
broader view
We looked at this life below.
o, why should we moan that lifes
sprinG-time has flown,
Or sigh for the fairy summer
time?
The autumn hath days filed with
paGans Of praise,
And the winter hath bells that
chime.
Don't let the song go out of your
life;
Let it ring in the soul while here,
And when you go hence, it will fol-
low you thence,
And sing On in another sphere.
Then do not despond and say that
the fond,
Sweet songs of your life have
flown,
For if ever you knew a song that
was true,
Its music is still your own.

AMAZING ADVANCE IN COST OF
| LIVING.
REPORT of Bureau of Labor Shows
Startling Figures.

marked upward trend Of the cost of
diving is disclosed in the federal
Bureau of Labors report Of an in
vestigation of the prices for the last
ten years conducted in the impor-
tant industrial centers of thirty-tWo
States.
Fifteen most important articles of
food, as we'll as coal, comprising
tWo-thirds Of workingman's needs,
Were investigated. In many cities
the Investigators gathered state
ments Of merchants on the cost of
living and specimens of these are
published in the report.
On June Is, 1912, the report
shows, fourteen of the fifteen ar
tfcles of food were higher than a
year before, and ten had advanced
IN the last ten years more than so
per cent over the average retail
price for the ten-year period 1890
1899
During the last decade prices Of
potatoes changed most and sugar
the least. Their advances were
n11.9 and 8.5 per cent, respectively
During the last year bacon, which
decreased just one-tenth of / per
cent, was the only one Of the fifteen
principal articles Of food that
showed a decline in price, while
nine Of the fifteen advanced more
than 10 per cent, varying from 2.
per cent. for milk to 1876 for round
steak. Of the fifteen only eggs, but
ter, milk and sugar were lower, but
the price of three of these four is
formally lower during summers
than during winters.
Specimens of the statements of
merchants in various cities, pub
aished in the report follow:
New York-'Meats in general are
SO high that if prices continue
much longer will be obliged to close
up business. Have already lost
about $500 since advance in
prces"
Chicago "Jobbing price on flour
has advanced 80 cents per barrel,
and unless there is a decline in the
near future retail prices will ad-
vance
Baltimore the present high
prices prevail much longer in the
wholesale market I do not know
what will become Of the retail
dealers"
Boston-"Cheap sirloins are SO
high and poor that l am not cutting
any at present. Both grades of cat
tie have gone up and the above
prices just about let me out without
profit CA second), Beef, especi-
ally on cheaper cuts, 10 to 20 per
CENT. higher" CA third), "The
high price of meats is causing us to
close our place Of business on or
about July 4"
New Haven - beginning this
week we will advance cents a
pound on ali meats, as we are pay
ing the highest price for beef and
lambs in my time. / cannot say the
reason; the jobber blames the
farmer; the farmer blames the high
price Of corn"
Philadelphia - ''No money in
meats at the above prices" a sec
ond), I'VE paid June IT, Is 1-2
GENTS a pound for rumps and rounds
and II 10 cents pound for chucks
of beef, the highest price in the his
tory Of our business"
Salt Lake City - Everything
seems to be at the top, but nothing
shows any decline"
Los Angeles-'"The decline of
