been loaned to him. During the quar-
rel Tony elected him from his home
and it is charged that he had a gun
secreted outside, with which he did
the shooting.

The unexpected and sensational
manner in which the visit Of Joe
Wright to Judge Gilberts office was
terminated was not without effect
upon every one in the room. Pity for
Gloria was the dominating emotion.
for everyone present realized her I'M

that she had been sacrificed, stirred
| every heart Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs.
| Hayes, not well versed in politics. har-
bored no slight resentment against the
publisher of the News, since they re-
garded the article as too severe Were
not their husbands interested on the
same side as David Kerr? And they
were honest men. But their husbands
knew the full measure of the bitter
cup that both the boss and his daugh-
ter, for the fathers misdeeds, were
called upon to drain.
The first thing to do was to get Clio
ria away from the office. For several
days she had been staying with Mrs.
Hayes, and thither she was now taken
BY DR.. Hayes order she was put at
once to bed, and under the influence
of an Opiate, she was soon asleep
Dr. Hayes came downstairs and an

said that she would probably sleep for
several hours.

at my office or Gilbert's or al the
club rooms"
Even if she asks for you" said the
doctor, 81 think it best for you to stay
away until her nerves are quieter."
AS there was nothing further the
two men could do, they walked down
town together, leaving Mrs. Hayes to
watch over Gloria.
1t was nine o'clock before the girl
opened her eyes. DR.. Hayes had been
home to dinner and then gone out
again. His wife was sitting in Gloria's
room reading by light which was
carefully shaded SO as not to annoy
the sleeper. She had turned several
pages of her book with a feeling that
her patient was now fully awake be-
fore she looked up to see if her belief
was justified Gloria was gazing va

she asked, going over to the bed.

she repeated.

Gloria looked up at her with a pa

her kindness. She threw one hand out

took it in hers. 1t was some time,
however, before Gloria spoke.

ways wanting their own way. One
day she got them a couple of pieces

FOR THE BOYS TO REMEMBER
How to Rescue Person From
Broken Ice With the Least Risk
to Oneself

TO rescue person who has broken
through the ice you should first tie
rope around your body and have the
other end tied or held on shore Then
get long board, or ladder or limb
Of a tree, crawl out on this, or push
It out, SO that the person in the water
may reach it. IL nothing can be found
on which you can support your weight,
do not attempt to walk out toward
the person to be rescued, but lie fiat
on your face and crawl out, as by
doing this much less weight bears at
any one point on the ice than in walk
ing. If you yourself break through
the ice remember that if you try to
crawl up on the broken edge it will
very likely break again with you Vi
roacuers are near it would be much
better to support yourself on the edge
OF the ice and wait for them to come
