lily luck followed her, they said.
To think, that on her way to Cal
ifornia, she should meet her first
husband and pummel him to her
hearts content, thereby material
ly increase the box office receipts

many nights thereafter! Would
she have pummeled him if she
had been plain Miss Dare with
no reputation for scandal to
maintain? And then, why had
she abruptly left the train and
disappeared somewhere in the
Colorado wilderness, and who
was that young girl that she was
chaperoning, and was she a wor-
thy person to have charge of her?
Miss. Agnes read all that and
smiled. Life has its compensa-

handbag which she reads some
times when things have gone bad

she has ruined her own life she
may have saved another.

praised the work of the Young Woman's
Christian association and called upon the
citizens of Birmingham to aid in financing
the institution.
The heart interest in the cause at issue
constantly pressed to the fore. Nothing
was done in that manner which makes it
plain that the doer is playing to the gal

in earnest. and the way the subscription
list grew after the luncheon and the

in earnest.
