the better for his outburst, was a

Later, Henley and Mark left their
refuge and sauntered through the
crowd. 1t CHANGED that Quinby espied
them. He deserted an admiring group
to greet them paternally.
"A lifelong dream has been realized,

Mark, left alone, began to pick his
path gingerly around trailing gowns
and chattering groups, in search of
fresh air and quiet. But once, as he
was passing a group of men, remark
arrested his attention. He did not
know the speaker, but he halted
sharply and addressed him.
Who was that you said committed

The man looked at him strangely

Timothy Woodhouse. 1t was prac-

He has fattened nine head of hogs
and fed twenty of stock on these
beets. All the feed any of the hogs
have received so far is beets and ALTA

his killers a good ration of grain be-

unhampered by any previous infiu-
ences. When the new school teacher
came to town she was quite the pet
of the place, and between her school
sessions she found time to take part
in the winter sports which the coun-
try offered. On hunting and snow
shoelng trips she and Crogan were
often companions, for she seemed to
enjoy his company, and the whole
village soon recognized his admira-
ton for her. Mary Burke was a quiet,
restrained young woman, however,
and no one ever knew quite what she
was thinking.
AT Christmas time she held a party
in her cabin, and after everyone had
gone-Crogan last of all-she found
on the floor a little case that had
dropped from his coat pocket. Ex-
aiming the photograph in 1t, she put
it away in a hiding place, and when
Crogan, a few minutes later, returned
and asked il she had found a card

The next morning Mary Burke
called on the deputy sheriff, told him
she belonged to the United States
Secret Service. and asked him to send
a force to her cabin that evening at
8 O'clock, when she would turn over
to them Jim Thunston, a defaulter of
government funds, whom they knew
as Jim Crogan.
By appointment that evening Gro
gan came to Mary's house. He took
the conversation into his own hands,
and began 1t by telling her that he
loved her. He then said he must tell
her Of his life before, and he unrolIad
a story of scorned love and self-sacri-

made Mary's heart beat madly. In
her ears there sounded continually

TEMPER VS.. TEMPER


This masculine adaptation of the
sauce for the goose adage is cleverly
played and full of fun. The spoiled
young woman who was in the habit
of throwing things When her will was
crossed was wooed and won by a
young man, who thought he could
conquer her temper easily.
AS soon as they arrived at their
new house, however, she used him as
a target-and much practise had made
her an excellent shot-concluding the
session by locking him out of her
room. Perplexed, he sought a spe-
cialist friend. who advised him to
treat his wife just as she treated him.
He grinned over the prescription
and confided it to the servants. When
next Mrs. Newlywed flung things at
her husband, he flung them back,
struck an attitude. tore his hair,
brandshed his arms and ragged so
wildly that she ran off to mother and
brought her home with her.
They sent for doctor-the same
one who had prescribed the treatment.
and he ordered for the husband care
and loving kindness" The two treat
ments supplemented each other beau
tifully, and the brio a brac no longer
filled the air in that home.

WEDNESDAY, MAY "a, 1914.

Astrologers find this a day that
promises much for women. Venus is
in a place strongly benefic and the
Sun gives kindly power
There is a particularly good omen
for women in business This is a
time to seek promotions or advance in
salaries. The aspect of the Sun is
read as indicating a possibility of OBJ
tanning recognition from persons ir
authority.
The planets are said to foreshadov
the attainment of places of supreme
Importance by women. A post ir
Washington is probable for a resident
of the West, who will occupy a place
not hitherto open to women.
Political organization is foreshad-
owed by the stars. The seers declare
that the President will be annoyed by
Western tactics, for planetary indi-
cations suggest surprising events.
The augury today is happy for wed.
dings. 1t is also good for commence
ments.
Actresses and singers should benefit
under this government. It is a lucky
time to seek new engagements.
The influences are believed to rule
for harmony that brings forth the
blossoming of ambition. 1t is con-
ducive to courage, mental and physi-
cal yigor and prosperity. 1t is held
that they who yield to the leading OF
the stars today will gain all the sue
cess and power of achievement that
they deserve by reason of talent or
industry.
There is a representation that
fashion will show a reaction toward
simpler lines of dress and more natu-
raj standards of beauty. The infiu
ences, which have inclined women
toward the use of cosmetics, are said
to have become less strong.
Warning is given of q summer that
will be severe on the health of women
and children. Sanitary measures OF
unusual scope and thoroughness are
advised.
Persons whose birthdate ii is have
the omen of rather a quiet, successful
year with few unusual experiences.
The young probably will become en-
gagged or will marry.
Children born on this day probably
will be thoroughly trustworthy and of
great aid to their parents. Girls
should be favorites and shouio have
many friends. Boys may achieve
success in business. Good Judgment
should characterize them.
