The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

CGD RoTHER WILFRED got the
first real piece Of change yes
~ terday that he ever got from
his writings" said the Manicure Lady.
He used 10 come home with a five
dollar check once in a while that he
got from the editor of the Flour and
Feed Gazette or the Monitor. but yes
terday he came home and flashed a
hundred dollar note that he had Just
got for a song Of which he wrote the
words Of. Even father warmed up to
the poor boy when he seen the yellow
c in Wilfred's trembling mitt,r and you
can bet the old gent wasn't in no mood
to warm up until the money got in
front Of his eagle glance"
Was It a ragtime song?" asked the
Head Barber. 1T must be. though
That's the only kind Of songs that are
getting the dough now"
No. il amt a ragtime song" replied
the Manicure Lady. TITS a sad ballad
George. I was sure that it was going
to be liked the minute Wilfred showed
It TO me. before he showed It to any
body else. wish he hadn't made it
quite so sad, though. Goodness knows
there Is enough weeping in this world
without making up new songs with
sobs In them. Stin, I suppose what the
public wants nowadays is extremes in
songs, either something so comic that
it would make a snail smoker or some
thing sad and pensive like dreary rain
falling on sweeping willows. That's the
kind OF a song Wilfred has wrote,
q. ~ g.
is sang with slides the folks will take
on something terrible. This is the way
it goes l wish I could remember the
tune, but It sounds something like this:
GONE BEYOND RECALL.
"A handsome married couple in a
city far at1Gg,
Was setting in their pGrIor at the
close Of one sad day.
The couple had been scrGpping for
the first time M their life,
And each hard loord they uttered
cut the other ike q knife.
At last the iCife could stand no
more, and just at sir O'Clock,
She broke a china platter on her
husbands noble block.
Her husband sdt0 the shattered dish
and feIt his battered head,
Then facing his impetUOas i0ife,
these sad tCOrdS he then said:
CHORUS:
"The dish is gone beyond recall; zee
ne'er shall see IL more.
We cannot get one like it at the
fUe and ten cent store.
I little dreamed Of such coarse
cork iOheH UotCiH0 I'd be true,
The dish is gone beyond recaJL-so
Is D1V Lore for your"
Amt there a second YER u" asked
the Head Barber after brief pause "A
ballad ought to have two verses and
tell some kind Of a story That's what
Charley Harris always said, anyhow"
There is a second verse, all right
said the Manicure Lady Il don't know
just how It goes, but it tells how the
husband went crazy from the blow on
his head and was all the time wanting
to play Spin the Platter with the keep
ers at the insane asylum. The wife
died Of broken heart. just like she
broke the china platter, and just be-
fore she died she heard her husband, in
a dream, saying them sad words that
told you in the chorus"
1T ought to be a good seller if they
want sad songs now" said the Head
Barber. TITS certainly sad enough
1T seems kind Of improbable, though"
declared the Manicure Lady. No lady
ought to bean a gent with a platter
when dishes is so high

WITHIN THE LAW
A Powerful Story of Adventure Intrigue and Love
Who killed Griggs? ?"


There was no reply. And present
ly, he went on, half-stunned over his
own intrigue against her.
Say, he said, and for once. his
voice was curiously suppressed, you
tell me who shot Griggs. and m
show this letter to old Glider" Again
the police official was in the as
cendant. He forgot his sympathy of
q moment ago in HIS zeal as a tracer
of crime. He pledged himself ruth
lessly to a lie.
Now listen" he cried, eagerly. Il
give you my word Of honor that any
thing you say in here is just between
you and me- UnConsCiously his eyes
darted to the window, behind which
the stenographer was busy with his
notes
That single involuntary glance was
enough for the keen instinct of the
woman to make a guess as to the
verify.
Just tip me off 10 the truth" Burke
went on, overwhelmingly, "and III get
the necessary evidence in my own
way. Now, there's nobody here but
Just you and me. Come on, now
put me wise!"
Mary Is Resourceful.
Mary was again the resourceful
woman who was glad TO pit her brain
against the contriving Of those who
fought her. So at this moment, she
seemed plant to the viii of the man
who urged her thus cunningly. Her
quick glance around the office was
of sort to delude the inspector into
a belief that she was yielding to his
lure.
Are you sure no one will ever
know she asked timorously.
Nobody but you and me-" Burke
declared, all agog with anticipation
Of victory at last. Il give you my
world"
Mary met the gaze of the inspector
fully. In the same instant she flash
ed a smile that was dazzling, the
smile of a woman triumphant in her
mastery Of the situation. Her face
was radiant, luminous with honest
mirth. There was something simple
and genuine In her beauty that thrill
ed the man before her, the man trying
so vindictively to trap her to her own
undoing. For all his grossness Burke
was Of shrewd perceptions, and
somewhere, half submerged under
the sordid nature of his calling was
a love Of things esthetic a respon-
siVeness to the appeals of beauty
Now, as his glance searched the face
of the girl who was bubbling with
mirth, he experienced an odd warm
ing of his heart under the spell of
her loveliness-a loveliness wholly
feminine, persuasive, wholesome. But,
too, his soul shook in a premonition
of catastrophe, for there was mis-
chief in the beaming eyes of softest
violet There was a demon of mock
cry playing in the curves of the scar
let lips, as she smiled so winsomelv.
All his apprehensions were verified
by her utterance. 1t came in a most
casual voice, despite the dancing de-
light in her face. The tones were
drawled in the matter of fact fash
ion Of statement that leads a lis
tener to answer without heed to the
exact import of the question, unless
very alert, indeed. This is what
she said In that so-called voice:
