CHAPTER Continued.

It was an awful and a terrifying
sight to little Miss Weeks and, scream
ing loudly, she left her window and
ran into Judge Ostrander's presence,
and, gazing wildly about, wormed her
way toward heavily carved screen
guarding distant corner and covered
down behind 1t.
The gasping, struggling men, the
frantic negro, were in the next room
now-she could catch the sound of the
latter's painting breath rising above
the clamor of strange entreaties and
excited cries with which the air was
full; then a quick, hoarse shout OF
Judge! Judge!" rose in the doorway,
and she became conscious of the pres
ence of a headlong, rushing force
struck midway into silence as the fro
zen figure of his master flashed upon
the negro's eyes-then-a growl of
concentrated emotion, uttered almost
in her ear, and the screen. which had
been her refuge was violently thrust
away from before her and in its place
she beheld a terrible being standing
over her, in whose eyes, dilating under
this fresh surprise, she beheld her
doom, even while recognizing that If
she must suffer 1t would be simply
as an obstacle to some goal at her
back which he must reach-now-be-
fore he fell in his blood and died.
What was this goal? AS she felt
herself lifted, nay, almost hurled aside
she turned to see and found it to be a
door before which the devoted Bella
had now thrown himself, guarding il
with every inch of his powerful but
rapidly sinking body, and chatterine
defiance with his bloodless, quiverins
lips-a figure terrible in anger, sce

How to Keep Face
Young and Attractive

The way to ward off old age is not to
fear 1T. not to allow ones self to be OPP
pressed by the dread of advancing years.
Use only legitimate preventives and avoid
trying experiments with preparations not
Endorsed by physicians. An entirely safe
and very effective way to keep the COM
plexion young looking and beautiful is to
apply ordinary mercolized wax at bed
time, using it like cold cream, washing it
off in the morning. This gradually absorbs
the withered, faded cuticle, which is re-
underskin. One ounce of this wax to be
had at any drug store, is enough to COM

A warning against contracting 1.-The
habit of falling in love- was sounded
by Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor
of Stanford University, in a talk on
What a College Man Should Be-
DIR. Jordan declared college men
should marry college women, as both
are more nearly mental equals.
1.-The matter of dealing with women
is vital to college men. The greatest
pleasure to man in life is real, old
fashioned romantic love- he said. "a
man sees the best women he will ever
see while in college. College men
ought to pick their mates from COL
lege women.
There is no hurry. however. Fresh
men should wait until the seniors have
had their pick. Don't fall in love until
you are sure of staying there. Falling
in love was not made to be a habit

The good doctors opinions seem to
coincide almost exactly with those of
the Washburn college people, at least
so far as the ultimate choice is con-
cerned. A good half of the marriages
among the people of our town, are the
result of Washburn college love af-
fairs. No matrimonial bureau could
handle enough business to substitute
for the college campus. The fresh
men are just as swift to fall in love as
the seniorS-maybe more SO, not be-
ing case-hardened. There is a love
affair of long standing that is a hang
over from freshmen days, between a
young woman who is now teaching
school and man away to big uni
versity. He has been through Wash
burn a number of years, and he will
be away at least two years more. but
the courship steadily continues. That,
too, has come to be a habit.

These men, however, should be de-

fered from the strike, think that it
would have been right to have
brought men into the city to work on
the car lines.

special policeman goes to the plant,
line or company for whom he works.
Why then should the people be forced
to pay for what the corporation uses.
The obvious answer is that the firm
hire its own policeman.
"And the carrying of guns by the

many chances with thieves Of the sort
that would not hesitate to break into

these men go about unarmed? l have

ion of it. It's a plain matter of law.
''Why shouldn't we use special po-
