Before A. P. Warner shipped his
big Packard motor car from New
York he took It to a Packard service
station in that city and had It given
a thorough overgoing by professional
Packard men, all parts that were
worn were replaced, and the al put
in perfect condition, so that he would
not have any trouble down here, far
from Packard service stations. He
got here, took the car out and run Ii
around a day or so, and 1t ran like a
bird. Last Friday he concluded TO go

out from his home at Shakespeare,
and on the way down to Lordsburg
ran over a bump which jounced the
car up a bit, and when IL came down
there was a grind In the gears, and
car came TO a stop. He knew there
was something serious the matter
with the car, and that It was out Of
commission, sc he came down and
caught the train, and sent Harry
Wallace out to care for the car. On
opening 1t up Wallace found the gears
stripped and a small steel punsh
meshed In with the gears. 1t was
evident that the man who had put
the car in condition had left the

CHAPTER II.

In Which keziah Unearths a Prowier
The fog was cruel to the gossips OF
Trumet that day. Mrs. Didama Rog
ers, who lived all alone, except for
the society of three cats, a canary
and a white poodle named Bunch,
in the little house next to Captain Ell
kanah's establishment. never entirely
recovered from the chagrin and dis
appointment caused by that provoking
mist.
The fog prevented Mrs. Rogers not
ing the entrance of Mr.. Pepper at the
Coffin front gate. Also his exit, under
sisterly arrest. It shut from her view
the majestic approach of Captain Ell
kanah Daniels and Grace's flight, her
! face dimpled with smiles and breaking
into laughter at frequent intervals.
For young lady, supposed to be a de-
vout Come-Outer, to hurry along the
main road, handkerchief at her
mouth and her eyes sparkling with
fun, was a circumstance calculated to
furnish material for enjoyable scandal
And Didama missed it.
Other happenings she missed, also.
Not knowing Of Captain Daniels call
upon Keziah, she was deprived of the
pleasure of wonder at the length of
his stay. She did not see him, in COM
pany with Mrs Coffin, go down the
road in the opposite direction from
that taken by Grace. Nor their return
and parting at the gate, two hours
later. 1t was three o'clock in the after
noon before a visitor came again to
the Coffin front gate, entered the yard
and raped at the side door.

are you? / begun to think you'd been
scared away fer good"

Prince of the Poets.

The French poet, Leon Dierx, was
found lying dead upon his bed by his
landlady. The day before he accom-
panied Messrs. Henri de Regnier, Vic
tor Marguerite, and other men OF let
tiers to the house where the poet Ste
plane Mallarme used to live, and read
poem which he had written in honor
of the anniversary. He left the cafe
at IL, and as he passed the concierge
said: "Ah, well! would be going t.
rest-if only need not wake again!"
The good woman scolded him for
saying such things, and soon after his
brother called and stayed with him
till two in the morning Next day
he was discovered lifeless in his room,
his last wish being thus fulfilled. Leon
Dierx was "a years old. In 1901, aft

honor.-London Evening Standard

Keziah holding the broom like a bat
tle-ax, ready for whatsoever might de-
velop. From the dimness of the tight
ly shattered study stepped the owner
of the voice, a stranger, young man,

and the buttons of his waistcoat filling
the WRONG buttonholes. Despite this

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

It is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Gunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns,
as It is matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the flu
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
1--WE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very OK
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada. The
Panama Can, undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
Idle Of immigration that is being d.
yerted from the United States to the
dominion.
"The farm land of the vast North
West is the attraction, and while this
hood Of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over the class of i'm
migrants admitted. In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the peo-
pie of Southern Europe."-Advertise-
ment.

She jerked her brother into the blue

Keziah turued from the door she
had closed behind her visitor.

Steps, measured, dignified steps
sounded ON the walk. From without
came "Hum-ha!" portentous com
