had been made of the marriage, and
the utmost simplicity was observed in
the ceremony.
Because of the recent illness of Mr.
Preston, the wedding was private, the
other guests in addition to the mem
bers of the two immediate families
being President and Mrs Hibben,
Miss Elizabeth Hibben and Andrew
F. West, dean of Princeton's graduate
school.
The bride wore simple white silk
gown and carried roses. MIR. and

anyhow-everybody who lived on
their street hated the gang that lives
on the next street as duty and she
and Tom were close neighbors. He
always grabbed the lions share of
everything, and never by any chance
was kind. But he was the leader of
their gang and she had given him
loyalty.
But she hated him. She fingered
the stone lovingly in her red. rough
fingers and her lips narrowed In an
unchildlike way.
She edged around the corner of the
building again out of sight and
gripped the stone hard. Luckily it
had been the left wrist he had in
jured. There was the sound of many
feet and, peering around the corner,
Clara beheld the redoubtable Tom
Killer in full fight.
Pursuing him were six of the gang
from the next street. Toms face was
red and he was painting; there was
mud on his torn clothes and he bore
evidence of rough usage.
The gang had caught him OF his
own territory and started to punish
him, and now it was intent on catch
ing him to finish the job. If caught
he would get all that was coming to
him and pay up Clara's score as well
; as their own.
Clara Nickel raised her arm and
the light of battle flashed In her eyes,
drying the tears. She leaned forward
like a small FURY and hurled the
jagged stone full at the leader of the
pursuing crowd instead of at Tom
Killer. The leader went down in a
heap and his cohorts stumbled over
him and fell in confusion. Tom few
around the corner and joined Clara
in sprint to safety
Gee, that was a bully throw" he
gasped out to her as they ran.
He grabbed her wrist to help drag
her to safety, and, though it was the
spratned one, she did not cry out.
Something fierce and warm was
spreading from her heart all over her,
wiping out her red anger against Tom.
Private wrongs always vanish before
community war, though Clara was
not aware of this scientific fact
I'm glad" she said. I'm glad we
licked that bunch!"
And then she dumped up the back
stairs to meet her own licking.

NOT SOCIAL AMENITIES

They glared at each other much as
though they had just emerged from
savage Businesses, which they had,
On some by-streets in big city there
is not much time or inclination to OBJ
serve the social amenities. Neither
Clara Nickel, aged twelve, nor Tom
Killer, fourteen, had ever heard of
them.
Claras faded calico dress was slit
on one shoulder and her hair, braided
In a tight little pigtail, tied with
white Irvine, had not been combed
and brushed that day. Her pale blue
eyes flashed murderously at her OPP
ponent, who was shock-headed, dirty
faced and wide of mouth.
"You just say that again" he
threatened.
Clara said it.
Thereupon the boy rushed at her,
grabbed one wrist and twisted 1t
ferociously, meanwhile yanking her
tow hair with the other hand. Clara
was no docile victim. She saved her
breath and kicked with all her might,
but pain at last conquered her. AS
Tom Killer gave one final, awful
wrench to her wrist and hurled her
from him against the fence she shut
her eyes tight to keep from shrek
ing aloud.
In the distance she heard his re-
treating footsteps and yells of deri-
sion. When he had turned the corner
she opened her eyes. moaned trifie
and blinked at her hand. Already the
wrist was swelling from the sprain
and her head throbbed from the yank-
ing her hair had received. Clara's
brows grew dark and lowering as she
stared at the corner which had swal-
lowed up her assailant. Her express
sion BODIED i'll for Tom Killer.
Then she struggled on toward home,
holding her wrist and paying no at
tention to the tears which ran down
her cheeks and made little pathways
through the days dust.

ton, Il bet he broke it! 1t feels like

kept on she whirled about heavily,
questioningly

out her swollen wrist. Tom Killer,

When you get licked l lick you
again." her mother promised.
Clara went out upon the stairs and
her face was ugly. This, too. had
Tom Killer done to her. Vengeance
was growing in a food. Besides the
present pain there was the whipping
promised her, and her mother never
failed in her promise. Clara slowly
descended the stairs shivering.
She edged along out OF the blast
and looked at her wrist obviously. In
the distance she heard yells betoken-
ing warfare, and among them she
distinguished Tom Killers shrill
voice.
She began looking for a weapon
and bounced on a small but Jagged
stone, which she clutched with q
taste of her coming triumph. She and
Tom had had frequent ouarrels that
interrupted their comradeship, but
this OF today was the worst and she
felt nothing but hatred. 1t had been
only a sort Of community friendship

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation OF the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring
comb the hair out straight all around
then begin at the side and make
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end OF the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

SHARKS BLOW SHIP WHISTLE
Then Sailors Know the Much Hated
Fish Has Been Caught on
Their Hooks.

Sharks are numerous in Magdalena
bay on the west coast of the Peninsu-
la of Lower California, says the Wide
World. The monsters al this point
seem to take almost any kind OF bait,
and it is rarely that warship is seen
AT anchor without from one to a half
dozen lines dangling from its stern.
Watching a shark line Is a tedious
business. but it is strictly necessary
in order that the fisherman may know
when the monster is hooked, as its
frantic PUSHES. if allowed to go I'M
checked, are pretty sure 10 caus" some
part of the line leader, or even a part
of it's own anatomy TO give way, and
result in its escape.
The old scheme of tying the line
around ones big toe and going to sleep
would probably work all right so far
as rousing the fisherman was con-
cerned. but the sequel might not leave
him in a condition to give undivided
attention to landing the prize To this
end the officers and sailors have hit on
an ingenious plan. Instead of taking
in their lines when the dinner gong
! sounds or when for any reason they
| are on duty elsewhere, they run a
! stout piece of marlin twine from the
| sharkline up to the steam whistle,
leaving it for the man eater himself
! to announce the event of his being
| hooked by sounding foot.

the only hazard. Some of the inst-

Dealing with the anti-plumage cam
paign in England, the Cape Times in
a leading article remarks that: Were
it not for the commercial value of its
feathers, the ostrich would today be
as rare in civilized South Africa as the
hippopotamus. The ostrich is really
a much pampered bird, living life OF
pure luxury. He is bred and kept In
condition merely for the sake OF his
feathers, and generally he lives to a
ripe old age. The feathers are not
pulled out from the sockets by the
roots, but are cut with as little pain
to the bird as is caused to a sheep by
the shearer."
