nal triangle I'll lose the train which
takes me back to home and father"
remarked Kitty.
''Pn go to the station with you"
said Bill.
Cali right; I'll chaperone the
party" exclaimed.
l wonder if it was my magma
ton or did just a flicker of disap-
pointment come into Kitty's eyes.
She was rather still all the way to
the station, but Bill talked enough for
us all, insisted upon buying her a
great bunch of violets, the latest
magazines and a box of candy. l
wish Herbert could see this, thought
to myself.
Why will men, as soon as they
are married to a good woman, de-
ceive themselves with the idea that
no fascinating male is always ready
to f1atter and keep up the little at
tentions they neglect? If they would
only remember that in every position
in life there is always some one just
behind that wants their jobs.

ert Campbell, who stole a number of
diamond rings from Mrs. Myrtle

Sanity City. The requisition was
honored by Gov. Eberhart and the

member of the Chicago police force
for "a years, where he has made good
and there are very few people in Chi
cago who do not know "Bix Six as
he is Familiarity called. During his
stay to st. Paul of three days, he was
the guest of his old-time chum Mr..
Richard M. Johnson, 572 Kent street.
On last Monday afternoon, Detec.
tive Smith was the guest of honor at
a 5 o'clock stag dinner given by De-
tective J. c. Black, at his residence,
525 Rondo street. The dinner was
one more specimen of the culinary
skill of the Twins" Mesdames J.. G.
Black and Katie Crawford, and was
Of course an epicurean feast.
Those who enjoyed the gastronomic
occasion were: Sergt. Smith, r. M.
Johnson, w. T. Francis, o. C. Hall, J.
9. Adams, and they did justice to the
occasion which was quite enjoyable
in every way.
Detective Smith left on the fast
mail at 1920 with his prisoner and
was highly delighted with his visit.
