"Wakinr In Bolton

William Ganson Rose, is a little story
which reporters should read, both for
its style, which is racy and its rap
idity of action, the first requisite of
short story. Its motive is the renas-
cence Of a youth, "a son of the sage
brush" whose friends had abandoned
him as a hopeless philistine. His
father sends him to a friend in a large
city, who, for the sake of old asso

But this man, John Hancock Barker,

the awkward, modest boy is a giant

despair, Mr. Barker turns to the

"Cooncan."
R. w Foster, the author of A
Complete Hoyle" and Royal Auc-
ton Bridge" has written a book
about "Cooncan," or Rum" the
game of cards which is called new
by some persons, but which in reality
has been known for half q century in
the Southwest. The game has be-
come very popular, one reason being
that a varying number of players
may engage in it and that it is novel
1t, indeed, differs from all other games
in its principles. These principles Mr..
Foster has set forth and discussed
with precision and much lucidity. His
book will be welcome to the great
( number in this part of the country
who have adopted the game as a ia
vorfte. Its fame as new recrea-
ton with cards has. however, spread
far beyond this continent In Eng
land 1t has been welcomed, and so
exclusive publication as the London
Saturday Review has devoted much
space to its description. "Cooncan''
is INSTRUMENTATION ofsthe Mexican
name for the game, which is ''con-
quian." "Cooncan" was long played
with the Spanish pack of forty cards.
Rules for the game were first pub
lished in Mr.. Fosters "FIoyle" in
1897.

CHAPTER TX.
The Star witness.

TT was between 8 and 10 o'clock
when Marshall Langham reached
@ his office. He scarcely had time
to remove his hat and overcoat when
a policeman entered the room and
handed him a note. 1t was a hasty
scrawl from Moxlow who wished him
to come at once to the court house.
AS Moxlow's messenger Quilted the
room Langham leaned against his
desk with set lips and drawn face;
this was but the beginning of the or
deal through which he must pass!
Then slowly he resumed his hat and
overcoat
| The prosecuting attorneys office
was on the second floor of the court
house, at the back of the building,
and it's windows overlooked the court
house yard.
On the steps end in the long cor
ridors men stood about, discussing
the murder Langham pushed his
way resolutely through these groups
and mounted the stairs. Moxlow' S
door was locked. as he found when
he tried to open it, but in response
to his knock a bolt was drawn and a
| policeman swung open the door, clos
| ing it the instant Marshall had en-
tered.
Iangham glanced around. Doctor
Taylor. the coroner, was seated be-
fore the desk; aside from this Of
! ficials, Colonel HARRISON, Andy Gil
more Shrimplin, Moxlow, Mr.. Alli-
son, the mayor, Conklin, the sheriff
and two policemen were present.

New England Coast Tale.


Joyful Heatherby" is one of that
numerous class of novels founded on
the charms of a particular locality
and the characteristics of those who
people it. Such work requires the
highest art of the novelist. The pen
that attempts to depict the life of
the Occident or the Orient, the Girl
of the Golden West" or the maiden
of the New England coast should
have in the brain. that guides it at
heart a spark of the genius that
made the Virginians of Queen Anne's
day live again or that painted
Porthos, or D'Artagnan, or Tar
tarin, or the Chouans as if they
breathed. A semblance of this power
is possessed by the author of Joyful
Heatherby." He chose New England
for the mise-en-scene of his plot, and
the characters of the novel are types
that will appeal to those who have
visited such places as Kittery, or
Newcastle, Wallaces Sands or Rye.
Joyful and her grandparents may be
found in real life even now in those
haunts of the summer tourist Their
oiiABlACIly, tilcu lIHtI 6Ht HODllilys
are the foundations that have made
New England the breeding home of
the pioneers who have developed a
mighty nation. 1t is in such homes as
that assigned to Joyful Heatherby,
in Woodbury. Centre, that are born
the men and women who have made
small towns great cities, that have
shed brighter lustre on the fame of
American literature, that have fos-
tered the honor of American finance.
Go into these homes and you will
find nonagenarians who are as in
teresting and as. hale as those of
three score years and ten-men
whose conversation is a revelation
of experience and wisdom, and
women whose eyes, bright with their
second sight, view life with hope
inspired by benignity and who, as
relaxation, play bridge at the age

Don't allow the 3-months-old child
to eat spaghetti or macaroni and

him to use fork,
Five-months-oidc children should not
be allowed to eat salmon turbot or
garlic salad too soon before retiring
at night. Common sense should guide
