CHAPTER VIII.

Meantime, the girl in Chicago was
walking Id new and hard way. She
brought to her task a disciplined
mind. fine artistic taste. delicate
but healthy body, and a pair Of will

prise, she discovered that the work
for which she had so often lightly
given orders was beyond her strength.
AS the weary days succeeded each 9TH
er into weeks. she found that while
her skill In table-setting and waiting
was much priced, 1t was more than of
set by her discrepancies in other lines,
and SO 1t came about that with mutual
consent she and Mrs Rhinehart parted
company.
This time. with her reference, she
did not find 1t 30 hard to get another
place. and. after trying several, she
learned to demand certain things,
which put her finally into home
where her ability was appreciated.
and where she was not required to do
things in which she was unskilled
Then the son of the house came
home from college In disgrace, and
began to make violent love to her,
until her case seemed almost des-
perate. She dreaded inexpresslbly to
make another change, for In some
ways her work was not so hard as It
had been in other places, and her
wages were better; but from day to
day she felt she could scarcely bear
the hourly annoyances. The other
servants. too, were not only utterly
uncompanionable. but deeply jealous
of her, resenting her gentle breeding,
her careful speech. her dainty per.
sonal ways, her room to herself. her
loyalty to her mistress.
Sometimes in the cold and darkness
Of the night-vigils she would remem.
Der the man who had helped her, who
had promised to be her friend, and
had begged her to let him know IL
she ever needed help. Her hungry
heart cried out for sympathy and coun-

Weather and Crop Report.

: Denver.-Last week was character
lied by marked cloudiness, frequent
showers. heavy rain In localities, es-
pecially in the south-central counties,
and weekly mean temperature below
the seasonal average, says the United
States weather report In the west
ern valleys the deficiency in tempera-
ture was quite marked. Satisfactory
crop growth has been nearly general.
The improvement in the condition of
the ranges have been marked. Small
grain is being harvested and in few
localities threshing Is under way. The
harvesting of the second crop Of al
falfa has started on the Eastern slope
and will be general within few days;
the yield is generally good. The con-
dition Of alfalfa, sugar beets, corn
and pastures Is exceptionally good.
Early potatoes are being marketed In
the western part of the state and early
fruit is being shipped from western
fruit districts. Cherries and berries
are practically picked on the eastern
slope. The prospect for tomatoes.
melons and cantaloupes is excellent.

HORSE FEEDING
PROVES COSTLY

The cost of feeding horses has in
creased practically 1877 per cent in the
last hVe years. according to govern
ment statistics, and in this fact alone
we have one of the biggest and best
arguments for the motor truck" saws
John y. WHY'S. maker of the three
quarter WHY'S utility truck. THE high
cost OF living is proving just as big
factor to the business man who has
delivery to do as 1t is to the laboring
man who. day by day. sees the price of
meat and other foodstufs steadily
mounting. on the other hand. the cost
or motor trucks is continually going
down.
I'm applying the principle Of guam
uty production to the manufacture Of
motor trucks. we are not making an
experiment The principle has been
tried and found highly successful in
the pleasure car field. and it Is proving
just as successful with trucks BY con-
centrating all the facilities Of our big,
modernly- equipped factory on the pro-
duction of thousands of trucks, we arc
working vast economies for the con-
sumner. for we can purchase, manufac-
ture and market 10000 trucks at a
great deal lower cost per truck than
we could 100.
Aside from tho factor of mainten-
ance. the truck has the advantage of
the horse in other ways. The horse.
being flesh and blood. has limited en-
durance. The truck has no such limi-
tations. The horse grows older and
less valuable every day. Age wears
him out even though he spends most
of the time in his stall. The motor
truck wears only when in use. When it
is idle there is no expense connected
with II whatever. a comparatively
careful watch over the truck, with adj
justments and small repairs made
promptly, makes 1t an actually better
vehicle the longer it is in use"
