the man these Wretched women look
to for protection-and pay him for it,"
This new thought was a poisoned
arrow that sank into her heart AS
she dwelt upon it her eyes fell upon
her handsome tailored coat and her
beautiful hat she had laid aside.
And with the money these unhappy
creatures pay, he--he-God in Heaven!
Where did the money come from for

Where the money came from to pay
for her handsome clothes WraCked her
as poignantly as would a great phys
ical pain. Her thoughts were inCoher-

Of the situation to another. Though
they were disconnected, they were not

her depIorable position.

How can | bear to have anyone look

now saying, That's she, the boss
daughter See her fine clothes. We
know where the money came from to
buy them And I, like leper, must
ever cry, 'Unclean, unclean, and see
those whom | would love fee ever
on before me-"
This made her think again Of Joe
Wright. Surely he had loved her be-
yond all reason to have wished to
marry her, the daughter Of such a
man.
Joe, poor old Joe, how he has suf-
fered because Of me" She had chosen
in her blindness not to listen to him
and now he was gone forever. She
had obeyed the dictation Of pride and
stifled the prompting Of love, and now
her punishment seemed greater than
she could bear. He did love me. He
knew, and still loved me. And | drove
him away. Well. it was better so; but
he did not love me-once. It's better
so-fOr him"
1t was now far more grievous pros
pect than that of the long years which
had confronted her when she had real
lied the previous day how solitary was
to be her way Then she had had po
sition, power, and pride; now these
had been stripped from her, and moth
ing had been given her in their stead
In a passionate food OF tears she sank
to the floor and cried as if her hear

knowing that in her room was being
enacted q tragedy Of the heart more
profound than any she with all he

found the remains OF monkeys that
had obviously furnished the leopard's
meal, in the caves which serve the
leopards for a lair-and the inside OF
dead leopard has shown further
proof
The Sinhalese had often told me
that leopards do not attempt to climb
trees in search Of their prey.
Whenever monkeys see leopard
sinking under the trees they become
excited and all chatter. AS soon as
the leopard hears this he lies down un-
der bush and begins to click his
teeth.
This noise seems to fill the mon
keys with terror and excitement. They
huddle together in the tree top above
the leopard's head, jumping up and
down on the branches, shrieking and
chattering. Below, the leopard waits
motionless. clicking his teeth. until
suddenly one of the monkeys misses
his footing and comes to the ground
with thud-and then the leopard is
on it in bound.

however, "a little knowl-
edge is dangerous thing" and one
should be sure of the variety gath
cred before eating. as many people
have a mushroom appetite with
toadstool judgment The idea that
toadstools, commonly called, are pois-
onous is wrong, for all mushrooms
are toadstools and all toadstools are
mushrooms.
1t seems such pity that much OF
this most appetizing luxury which Is
in many places, provided 80 lavishly
by Mother Nature, should not be bet
ter understood, so that they be used
for food instead Of being wasted by
decay.
To the epicure Mr.. Hard says there
are but four ways OF cooking mush-

stewing.
II 1t is possible in preparing mush-
rooms do not wash them, as the wa
ter destroys some of the delicate
favor. If they must bs washed drain
carefully, and for broiling, use only
the large, fat variety. Keep the
stems for a dish of stew and use
only the caps. Peel them by begin
ming at the edge and finishing at the
top. Lay them on a buttered broiler'

butter, salt and pepper in the cap
and let them cook until the butter
melts. Serve on toast.

THE TRUTH VS.. THE LIE.

The prohibitionists, in his zeal for
the cause, does not hesitate to deviate
from the truth, if he thinks that
thereby he can gain votes. AS an in
stance they are circulating through
out the county that if the county
votes wet, the enire couny will be
wet. This they know to be untrue.
The facts are these: No matter ii
the entire county, or every precinct
in the county votes wet, by the law
those precincts that are now dry will
remain dry. Every precinct in Bour-
bon county, except Paris, is now dry,
and no matter how they vote as a
unit in the coming election, they
will remain dry.
The only question of the election
in Bourbon on next Monday is wheth-
er liquor shall be sold in the precinct
of Paris. 1t does not and cannot, ac-
cording to the law, affect any other
precinct. THESE ARE THE FACTS.
