The Kid handed the girls out with
the elaborate gallantry of his best
dance-hall manner, then filled their
arms to overlooking with the trophies
from the bazaars.
ooh, Mr.. Brady, how can l ever
thank you?' cried Gladys laughing.
Then glancing back over her shoul-
der as she tripped up the steps" you
must come and see me some time"
and slipped through the door Hilda
held open for her.
UCLADYS, suppose he should?"
~ ventured Hilda in an awed
whisper as they transferred their
burdens to the sleepy buttons, and
the elevator shot up.
.Sufficient unto the day." laughed
Gladys promptly proceeding to dis
miss her knight from her mind.
Mr.. Kid Brady, however, gazed
long at the obscuring door, then
turned to the waiting cab and gave
the driver an address that he men
tally contrasted with the present
neighborhood as he climbed with a
grin to the box. The Kid settled back
his divinity's presence, and aban-
dOned himself to luxurious day
dreams. Still in the thrall of their
rosy haze he walked into the pres
ence of his despairing trainer who,
having looked in vain for the back
slider, had resigned himself to wait
ing and expecting the worst. That
The Kid had come back sober was
beyond his comprehension.
"Now, wat t. ell =" he began, on
mastering his astonishment
"Aw, close yer face, dere's draft"
interrupted The Kid, beginning to
undress and whistling Just One
Girl" off the key.
saw, dat's d dope yer smokin,',"
sarcastically remarked the trainer,
lodging a well-aimed shoe and then
beginning his own nocturnal prepara-
tions, relieved that his charge and
main source of support had chosen
the lesser of two evils.
The trainer stood a moment look
ing down on the muscular figure,
noted the clear complexion with no
flush of alcoholic dissipation, heaved
a sigh of relief and remarked as he

X/HEN Kid Brady arose the next
w morning the thing was clearly
fixed in his mind as it had been on
many another morning after an en-
counter, that victory could only be
gained by following up an advantage.
He looked over his wardrobe and Sc
lected his latest fawn-cOlOred suit
with the large check pattern that had
been the envy and admiration of his
associates upon the one occasion that
he had donned it. His yellow, tooth
pick shoes We're new even to Odor,
but the inspection of his neckWear
and linen found nothing suitable for
the occasion, SO forth he went to a
haberdasher. After much painful
mental travail he selected wall
paper shirt of a most pronounced
shade of blue. A necktie of fluffy
pattern and warm shade of red
took his fancy, together with a pair
of OpenwOrk hose of pale lavender
with clocking of a darker hue. When
he had attired himself and stood be-
fore the mirror breathless from pro-
family and perspiring with effort,
wiped his beaded brow with wide
bordered handkerchief and pulled his
black derby down with just the
proper tilt to the left side, the effect
of the ensemble was not displeasing

aWares by the apparition, but man
aged to stammer the cherished name.
"Card?" inquired the boy, measur-
ing him coolly from top to toe and
causing The Kid to follow his glance
with apprehension as to his appear
ance.
"Naw, jest tell her gentleman
fren," he replied gruffly.
He relieved the tension OF waiting
by busying himself adjusting his
cuffs to the proper length, when the
boy returned and conducted him to
the elevator.
The object of his visit, with no
idea as to who her caller might be,
was awaiting Hilda's appearance
after night and morning of nervous
headache, when the door of her apart
ment opened and Mr. Brady stepped
in, the grinning buttons beating a
retreat before collapsing entirely.
Colors seen by candle light do not
appear the same by day and The Kid,
a riot of hues in the streaming sun
light, seemed the frankenstein mon
ster of unconventionality accusingly
confronting her. She received him
with somewhat frigid enthusiasm,
considering.
"How good of you to call SO SoOn,"
she murmured in voice kept in cold
storage and only brought out on rare
occasions. The Kid murmured an
unintelligible reply, sat down gin
gerly on the edge Of a chair, leaned
his hat against the leg and gracefully
put his foot on it, Even his rescue
of the derby and his careful restora-
tion of it's shape did not appeal to
her pity, for the girl began to realize
the fire she had kindled, and expe
rience told her that the eXtinguisher
must be applied Immediately. She
did all the talking, thanked him con-
ventionally for his gallantry, then
shifted to the weather and contem-
plated trip to the country. The Kid,
with many wiggles of embarrass-
ment, replied in throaty monosylla-
bles, his dazed mind cropping for an
opportunity to escape. He wanted to
crawl under the ropes; he was going,
going, going! He arose in despera-
ton, swallowed convulsively to lubri
cate his vocal cords, tried them once
or twice with an agonized cough and
said: Il jest fought d see If yuh
was alright. Got date down d line,
but l fought d bat me lamps at
yuh.'
"You are so kind after last
night =" began Gladys.
ooh It's alright" and The Kid
backed to the door, struck it with his
heel and fumbled blindly behind his
back for the knob. Il jest fought

and words.

Sure, sure" he struggled with the

down the hall, past the grinning but
tons and paused around the corner
to convert his bordered hand
kerchief into perspiration soaked
rag.
IN the very small hours of the fol
lowing morning the peacefully
sleeping trainer was startled by a
crash of furniture in the darkened
training quarters, and switching on

"S'll right, ladies'" he said with a
reassuring grin, but we gotta beat
1T fore d mutt comes outta it," and
he hurried them through the odorous
gloom of the alley, both feeling a
grateful sense OF security at the tight
grip OF his strong hands on their ell
bows. AS they gained the lighted
street Hilda's Overwrought nerves
gave way in a fit of hysterical sob
bing, and they paused a moment on
the edge of the shadows to allow her
to recover.
Gee" he murmured, "ain't she all
t d good!"
A few reaSSuring caresseS and
Hilda was drawn presently into the
street, daintily daubing tear-blinded
eyes with her handkerchief and
drawing long, quivering breaths -
the dying echoes of her storm of sobs

for our rescue?"

with an effort, as one emerging from
a trance.
Mr.. Brady, simple thanks seem
so inadequate for such service, y

moved off up the street.
"Oh da s alright" returned The
Kid uncertain, but grateful. "Y' know

The girl but half comprehended
his meaning, sitting it quickly from

his quaint expression, then, thinking
some explanation due, gave him the
history of her adventure. ut only

"and but for your timely arrival it

The Kid cut in quickly, as one grasp
ing at an advantage. "YOuse gOin'

A laughing argument followed, in
terspersed with objections from the
timorous Hilda, but the Quaintness of
their escort, the unconventional al
lurement Of the affair and the stub
born determination of Gladys not to
turn back on an unaccomplished ad-
venture decided her upon seeing it
through now that thew were so ably
protected.

that completely subdued the rebel
lious Hilda, 1--WE owe it to Mr.. Brady
to discharge our obligation to him,

test. They peered into opium dens,

drama, marveled at the squalor of
domestic life contrasting with the
barbaric splendor of the restaurants

protests of the apprehensive Hilda
combined to turn their footsteps back
to the more familiar regions of the
outer world.

DlSCLOSES WEIGHT ERRORS
Investigation Of Irregularities II
FREIGHT Scales.

Washington, Aug 6.-Investigation
OF alleged irregularities and discrepan-
cies in the weighing of freight has dis
closed the imposition Of unreasonable
charges said to constitute as great >
discrimination as would a difference
OF freight rates.
In report Of an investigation the
interstate commerce commission de-
clared that "a majority of the track
scales now in use should be rebuilt
at once in order to obtain reasonably
accurate results"
Sharp criticism OF the methods Of
weighing such commodities as grain,
coal and lumber is made, 1t being al
leged that shippers almost invariably
get the worst of the transaction.
The American Railway association,
IN compliance with suggestions of the
commission, will promulgate shortly
weighing regulations.

Young Lad is Dlowed
In Grand River

A LodgepOle boy named France
Nobedja, II years of age was
found dead in the Grand River,
near the village of Breckinridge.
1t seems that France and Willie
Vobedja were engaged in herd

who lives near Lodgepole, and
had established their camp near
Breckenridge.
On Thursday Willie made
trip to Breckenridge and when
he returned his brother was
missing. He gave no particular
attention to this. thinking that
he might have gone to visit their
mother, who lives near Lodge
pole. On Friday an older bro
ther decided to visit the camp
and see how the lads were get
ting along and it was then learn
ed that France had not been at
home. The two brothers alarm
ed the neighborhood and a thoro-
ugh search was made over the
entire country, until the body of
the unfortunate boy was found
in a waterhole along the river.
The hat worn by the lad was
still on his head. which indicates
that he probably pitched into
the hole in partly unconscious
condition, and there remained
until found by the searchers
