The night before the race both boys had called on Mary and while there she told them that she had picked the event to decide her fate. Hennessy and Will iiams were fats friends and true sports men They shook hands over the pro position as they left the house and each agreed to take no unfair advantage over the other in the way of fouling during the race.
 While all the riders around the track knew that both boys were paying att tention to Mary Finn and they joshed the riders quite a bit about her, they did not know what this particular race ment to Hennossy and Williams until shortly before the boys were called to weigh in.
 Somehow the facts had leaked out. There was more excitement in that big jockeys room at that old Bay District track than ever before or since. The famous Little Pete del nciation when

Today's Short Story ,: Love al First Sight

! F5f Olive Horton was a nursery maid. At thirteen she had appeared at an intelligence office, and. although she would give no references, lady need ing one to care for her two little chill dren engaged her. The mistress made several attempts to learn of her pre- vious life. but Olive steadily declined to give any information with regard to it. She gave such satisfactions how ever, that she remained in her position for six years
 Elliott White, a nephew of Olives employer, on returning from trip abroad. visited his aunt, and one morn ing while recounting his travels Olive ca me into the room. She gave but one glance at Elliott, but his eyes became fixed upon her and followed her till she left the room. He tried to resume the thread of his recital, but in vain. His tongue would not describe what had been driven from his thoughts Since the girl was servant. he had the good taste not to show the interest she had created in him. The truth was that that silent figure which had enter ed the room had taken out with it all there was of value in his nature
 What came of this is only what comes in such cases Elliott Whites aunt one day was surprised at hearing a ragment of dialogue between her nephew and her servant
 ..The feverI It never leaves me-" he said.
 q have told you to go away from me and stay till you are cured"
 ssAnd you?''
 q shall never be cured. but I will not be your wife My respect for my self may not be strong enough to hold me. but my love for you will never permit me to drag you down to my level"
 A step in the hall ended the dialogue. The aunt and mistress went away troubled. but she never mentioned what she had heard to the slovers-
 Olive was taken il. and a doctor was called to attend her. When he, went downstairs after his first visit he found Elliott White in the library.

MODERN RAG RUGS.


 Tn Soft, Plain coiors Make PIeasing
 Floor Coverings For Bedroons- The rag rugs Of today are great improvement upon the rag rugs and carpets of our great-gran othefs. The modern ones are made of new rags dyed to tone with any color scheme de sired. They are perfectly charming for bedrooms. carried out in soft, yet fresh and attractive colors, with a Dor der. perhaps Of Noahs ark trees. Al most any rug needs simple surround- ing If the rug is of q pale, delicate shade the surroundings should certain ly be dark.
 To carry out the rules of color har- mony. the floor should be the darkest tone in the room, then the walIs,l the ceiling. Of course, being the 1ightest to give an effect of Ioftiness. The floor must tone with the walls. and the chief color of the rugs should tally with the walls.
 Strength of color in the right place will give just the desired finish, but in the wrong place may make hideous failure Of the whole scheme.
 It is best to have one color predonf hating in the floor covering, whatever it may be. but where rugs are cQncern- ed they look so different in the shops that the wisest plan is to have q few sent on approval and to try them in the spot for which they are intended

Eireleas Cooking.

Most housekeepers are now aware that ffre1ess cooking is based on the principle of utilizing conserved heat The viands to be prepared ragouts, for instance, or casserole dishes, are brought to the boiling point on the gas stove in a specially constructed freless cooker utensfl. The utensil fits into a corresponding well in an air tight. in sulated box, where the cooling is so prolonged as to amount virtually to a cooking process. The process may be intensified to any degree by means of heated iron or soapstone disks. called radiators, which are -incIosed in the well with the utensil and serve to maintain as high temperature as any given process may require.

 Eliminate the unnecessary. Substitute the inexpensive for the expensive.
 Utilize the byproduet.

 Buy the smallest possible amount of perishable goods.
 Take advantage of sales when quality is guaranteed.
 Buy country produce directly from the farmer. Cooperative buying has its advanta ges. Pay cash. This is the secret Of economic independence. s <, <.

Pongee pajamas for both big and lit tle members of the family, prove most desirable. Rompers for the small child, petticoats for the growing girl, made straight and plain. with a buttonholed scalIop around the bottom and many delightful negligees can be made satis- factorily from pongee.
 Of pale blue pongee a most exquisite comforter for baby's bed can be made at very small cost. Buy one and one-hah yards of material, cut in two and place soft white cotton between. Tack the cotton in place, with pretty silk knots about three inches apart. Thes edges may then be feather stitch ed. and the result is very satisfactory.
