through smiling lips a. I dropped
into the one-step with MIR. Hatton.
My heart, however. was grieving.
Why does Dick systematically
keep II from me when he
sees Eleanor Fairlow? kept
wondering while l was dancing II
he had intended to bring her
alone, and then / dismissed that
from my mind, for I was sure he
would not defy the conventions
to such an extent.

Waveriy?" asked Mr.. Hatton.

prise. It was such queer thing
for him to say.
"You love comfort and all ma

continued. but when that austere

The taxi came before Dick was
dressed, but sat serenely saying
nothing. i know he expected me
to be impatient, but after had
asked him II he intended to go to
the party and received his petu-
liant answer, What do you think
I'm getting into evening clothes
for?" ! simply said, The taxi is
here" and sat down with all my
wraps on to wait for him.
/ could hear him impatiently
hunting for articles, but as l knew

his toilet out where he could find
them ! did not bulge from my
chair, where l read the evening
paper and commanded my pa

coat and started for the door. /

over to Mrs. Tenney's in silence.
81 am SO glad you could come,

and then she looked beyond me to
where Dick stood and said. isn't
Eleanor Fairlow with you? /

her, Mr.. Waverly."
Dicks face got brick red, but
after a moments hesitation he
said, 81 believe Miss Fairlow is
coming with Mr.. Edie."
/ could not help from whisper
ing to Dick as we passed on, "A
friend in need is friend indeed"
Then Dick made the mistake of
asking, What do you mean?"

NEW APOLLO BILL
IS DISTINCT HIT

"The Only Way Out" thrilling
multiple Lubin drama, and the
two comedies at the Apollo are
proving the most pleasing of any
program shown at this popular
photoplay house for a long time.
The drama literally teens with
sensations from the moment the
play opens, and the audience Ia
held in breathless suspense from
the first to the last scene. The
play deals with the accidental
killing of q villain In his attempt
to kill the husband of the woman
he has insulted, and the trials and
tribulations of the couple until
the husband Is finally acquitted
of the charge of numbering the
evil-minded one.
Ham Among the. Redskins" a
farce comedy Of Ham and his
partner, Dune, is a very amusing
comedy.
"Spongers Are Found In the
Drug Store a George AIDE fable
In pictures. Is also remarkable for
its tendency to provoke laugh
ter. Many are familiar with the
stories Of this popular humoyist
and will enjoy his fables In pic
lures a great deal more than in
printed form.

Frank has it Coopered.

Carroll Herald: The Hampton
Chronicle is misinformed about the
situation in the tenth congressional
district. Whoever told Tom Purcell
that there would be a candidate
from every county against Frank P,
Woods was "stringing" him. Frank
P. Woods has the nomination cooper
ed for 1916. He returned to Esther
Vile after his recent tour of the dis
trict with the nomination in his
grip" there to lie in safety till the
next year. OF course the June pri-
mary must be recognized as matter
Of form, but for no other reason.
Election is but a mere formality in
Frank Woods district. We don't
believe that there is a man in any
one of the several counties with in
telligence enough to qualify as a
candidate who does not know that
the sitting member in the tenth has
a cinch on the next nomination and
electfsa.

LUCKY ESCAPE FROM
SERIOUS INJURY
Mrs. David Gordon and Baby Have
Frightful Experience When
Buggy Overturns.

Mrs. David Gordon and baby, who
reside southwest of this city, were
the victims of an accident here Sat-
urday afternoon about o'clock
when the top buggy which Mrs.
Gordon was driving overturned in
front of the Ferndell grocery store
and was dragged west, together with
the occupants, for several rods. To
onlookers it seemed as if the woman
and babe would be killed but upon
their being taken to a local physic-
ian's Office it was found that neither
was seriously hurt. Mrs. Gordon
started to drive away from the front
of the grocery store and did not turn
out sufficiently to avoid a carriage
standing in front Of her rig. The
front wheel of her buggy went right
up over the rear wheel Of the carri-
age in front and overturned her We
hicle. The horse reared and plung-
ed, but was caught by the bits by by
ISLANDERS before it had dragged the
occupants of the carriage far The
top was up and it was perhaps that
fact which saved the occupants from
serious injuries. 1t was a lucky es-
cape.
