CANINE ETIQUETTE.

In their relations one with another
dogs have u keen sense of etiquette
Unless they are on very intimate
terms they take great pains never to
brush against or even touch one an
ether. For one dog to step over an
other is a dangerous breach OF
etiquette unless they are special
friends. It is no uncommon thing for
two dogs to belong TO the same per-
son and live In the same house and
yet never take the slightest notice Of
each Other. We have a spaniel so
dignified that he will never permit
mother member Of the dog family TO
pillow his head upon him. but with
the egotism OF a true aristrocrat he
does not hesitate to make use OF the
other dogs for that purpose.--Henry

CHAPTER XXI.
The Mayor Is Welcomed Home.

TT WIGS a good story-the story
L which the mayor, Max, the pro-
lessor and Magee read with varying
emotions there in the smoking car
The girl had served her employers
we'll, and MI Magee, as he read, fell
o. thrill Of pride in her. Evidently
the employers had felt that same
thrill. For in the captions under the
pictures, In the headlines, and In a
tirst-page editorial, none of which the
girl had written, the Star spoke ao-
miringly of its woman reporter who
had done q mans worl-who hao
gone to Baldpate Inn and had
brought back d gigantic bride fund
"alone and unaided."
"Indeed2" smiled Mr.. Magee 70
himself
In the editorial on that first page
the triumphant cry of the Star arose
to shatter it's fellows In the heavens.
At last, said the editor the long cam
paign which his paper alone ct all the
Reuton papers had waged against -
corrupt city administration Was
brought to q successful close. The
victory was won. How had this been
accomplished? Into the star Office
had come rumors, q few days back,
of the proposed payment OF q big
tain. The paper had decided that
one of its representatives must be
on the ground. 1t had debated long
whom to send Miss Evelyn Rhodes,
it's weH known special writer, hao
got the tip in question: she had
pleaded to go to the inn. The editor,
considering her sex, had steruly re-
fused. Then gradually he had been
brought to see the wisdom of gending
q girl rather than "a man. The sex
of the former would put the guilty
parties under surveillance of guard.
SO Miss Rhodes was despatched to
the Inn. Here was her story. 1t con-
victed Cargan beyond doubt. The
very money offered as a bride was
now in the hands of the Star editor.

The girls story told how, with one
companion. she had gone to Upper
Asquewan Falls. There was no men,
ton of the station waiting room, nor
of the tears shed therein on a certain
evening. Mr.. Magee noted. She had
reached the inn on the morning or
the day when the combination was
to be phoned. Bland was already
there. shortly after came the mayor
and Max.

roughly. He was reading copy OF

errand at the grocery store. Re-
luctantly the youngster left the game

The Prudential and an Oily
Skin

Dear Miss Doom.

I must apply for an application

tial?
Also, 90 you know OF a remedy
for an oily skin? Wishing your es-
teemed paper success, I remain. as
ever, FAITHFUL READER.

tial building.
2. A simple lotion for oily skin is
made from boric acid. one dram;
distilled with witch hazel, four
ounces: Apply once or twice u day
with absorbent cotton.
For daily use this lotion is pleas
ant because of it's agreeable odor;
orange flower water, eight ounces
tincture Of benzoin, two drains. Add
the benzoin drop by drop, stirring
constantly.
A daily bath, using friction with
brush, towel or fibre pad, stimulate
the functions of the skin, and in time
wiki help the oily condition. Take
plenty OF exercise indoors and out,
avoid rich and greasy foods, drink
plenty of water and practise deep
breathing exercises.
