Then she called up the dumbwaiter:
Mae! Is that you, Mae?"
Hello, Margaret! Say I'm mighty
tired tonight They're only just get
ting ready to sit down to dinner. Mr..
Wright was late, as usual. I'm about
tired of this job. l think I'll move
next month"
Il guess l could tell somebody where
Wright spent the afternoon, If cared
to. Say, listen, Mae!"
Il can't, Margaret. She's calling
me-"
Just a minute. Listen! Wright
was joy-riding through the town with
his stenographer in his auto, as loving
as you please, with half the town
watching him. Took her home after
ward. Mr.. Green was just telling
the old woman about it."
You don't say! Say, this is no
place for respectable girl. I'm going
to move on, for sure. Oh, goodness!
There she is calling again!"
Mrs. Wright had called peremptori-
ly to hide the shock of the news. She
had stood with her hand upon the
jamb of the door during the entire
conversation. She had seen Daisy
Dean, her husbands stenographer, two
or three times, and she had noticed
with disapproval the little affectation
of the girl always to have bunch Of
daisies upon her desk Once or twice
her husband had come home wearing
one Of the flowers in his buttonhole.
He had come home with one that
night.
Wright, who loved his wife sincere
ly had not failed to note tine little sign
of jealousy against the girl who was
his business confdant. On that ac.
count he had said nothing about the
reason for his automobile drive with
her that day. Perhaps he would have
been wiser had he done So But the
meal passed almost in silence, and he
attributed his wife's moroseness to
her plea Of nervous headache.

to her home she hurried back, biting
her lips and sobbing, to fling herself
upon her bed and indulge in the bit
terness of her self-immolation.
She felt the universal suspicion, she
felt that she was an object of scorn
and pity. On the last evening of these
automobile rides, when Daisy mad at
length recovered, Wright returned to
his home thankful that matters at the
office would thenceforward assume
their old routine. The following day
his wife's father would deposit the
sum to his credit, and all would be
plain sailing.
He came home to find the fiat empty
and his wife's belongings gone.

CHAPTER I.

Old Cadman Green knew everybody
IN town. Those whom he did not
know were not, in his opinion, worth
Knowing; and his friends agreed with
him before his face. Behind his back
they voted him an amusing old bore.
But it was the thing to think as Cad
man Green thought, for he had the
tradition of distinction, acquired
through bluff and brass, perhaps, but
held tenaciously and acknowledged.
Green was maintaining his reputa-
tion in the same way as that in which
he had acquired it.
You see that woman in the car
riage?" he inquired. Second Mrs.
Percevale. Artists model before Per-
cevale married her, and had little
scandal all her own in the home town.
Well, she's-hello!"
This time Cadman Green contended
himself with whistle, and, as he
whistled, most Of his friends whistled
too.
William Wright with his pretty
stenographer!" said the old man.
The person in question, seated in
his automobile beside a decidedly pref
ty young woman, passed under the
club windows, and the car, after speed
ing a short way farther, turned off in
the direction Of a respectable but
modest suburb
What do you think of that?" de-
manded Green, Wright and lady
friend, and seeing her home through
the town in broad daylight! And
live underneath him.
He burst into chuckle and slapped
his tat leg, while the others exchanged
smiles and mods,
Their servant told our girl that
Mrs. Wright is internally jealous
Of her husband" continued Green. "I
wonder-I wonder what she would say
II she could see that?"
He glanced about him. He had kept
up his reputation among his peers.
Now the news must be spread. It was
too good to retain. Green did not
wish Wright any harm, but he felt
that the joke was on him, and he
wanted Mrs. Green to agree with him.
By the time he reached the apart
ment house he was bursting with the
news. Dinner was ready, and he held
1t only through the soup, indulging in
the joys of anticipation until he could
bear them no longer.
Il saw an interesting sight today"
he said, with an affectation of casual
ness.
What was that, Cadman?" inquired
his wife.

Wright, speeding through the town in

For goodness sake, Cadman, how
should know? Do you suppose

Mr. Wright's stenographer?"
"Well, l guess it's Dotsboro all
right" said Cadman Green.

to take his arms off the table before
setting down the roast listened with
an air Of judicial impassivity. The
Greens knew that their girl was

tion.

One of the prettiest plays seen on
an eastern gridiron this year was at
tempted by Michigan against Harvard.
1t failed, but the fact that it failed was
bit of luck for Harvard.
Michigan had the ball Splawn
dropped back about y or Is feet and
signaled for the ball. He got it, At
the moment the ball was passed the
Michigan right end ran into Harvard
territory and wheeled around in pO-
sition to catch forward pass. Splawn
showed back his arm, with the ball in
his hand, as though he were about to
throw it,
In the meantime, Maulbetsch who
had been playing to right of Splawn,
suddenly jumped forward and took the
ball from Splawn's outstretched hand,
just as it seemed that Splawn was
about to throw it to the Michigan
right end.
Maulbetsch raced toward Harvard's
right end and had taken about four
steps when the Michigan left end, rum
ming toward him, took the ball from
him. For a fraction of a second, it
looked as if Michigan with its trick
play would make big gain, but luck

BILLIARD GAME is IN FAVOR
Home and Church Have Come to Look
Upon Pastime as Moral Uplift for
Youth-Temperance Essential.

Clean living is the big essential to
good billiards. There is no other game
that demands as steady nerve, as
clear an eye, or as unerring judgment
as that Of the cue and ivory balls. AT
the same time there is no other branch
of sport that is less crowded and Of
fers so liberal a remuneration to its
professional followers. Just at pres
ent billiards is more in favor than ever
before. This appears to be due chiefly
to the advent of the younger element
in the game. The worlds titles are
held by mere boy and youngsters
who yet lack years of reaching their
majority are already in the field after
the honors now held by Willie Hoppe.
1t has not been so very long ago
that billiards was frowned upon by
well-meaning parents and denounced
by clergymen. That time is in wide
contrast to the present time when
the younger element is not only urged
to play the game but many thousands
of homes in this country are provided
with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. tables

Many people are brought up to be-

even when one realizes its injurious
effects.
A lady writes: Il had used coffee

IL was weak and nervous, had sick

LIoHTENs FARMERS TAXES.

(By PROF. JOHN A. NICHOLS)
The suppression Of the liquor traffic
would be of great benefit to the farm
ers, who are now taxed heavily to pay
their part OF the enormous expense
of taking care of the great army Of
orphans and paupers, drunkards, and
criminals produced by this destructive
and degrading traffic. The liquor traf-
&c now destroys the buying capacity
Of the men who put their money into
whisky and beer For every 800
spent for liquor the farmer now re-
ceives $3.50. If the money was spent
for other commodities the farmers
share would be very largely increased.

DOCTORS HAVE NEW LIGHT.

A common argument of the liquor
Interests may be put in the form of
a syllogism thus:
Major premise: The demand for an
occasional stimulant is instructive in
human nature. Minor premise; Alco-
hol is a stimulant Conclusion: Alec
holic drinks supply natural demand.
Granting the first premise to be
Sound-Which we do not grant-the
second premise is glaringly untrue
Latest findings of medical science
have proved that alcohol is not a slim
ulant as once believed, but a depres-
SAINT. There is expert testimony in
abundance to this effect We quote
here from w. A. Chapple, NJ. D., M. r.
G, S., Phi. D., and member of parlia-
ment;
1--WE know that alcohol stimulates
nothing except disease and the suscep-
tibility to it. We know one of the
first nerve centers to fall under its
paralyZing influence is the yaso-motor
center in the brain. What happens is
all you see and a lot you don't see.
The face fiushes because the vessels
dilate and engorge. But you only see
II in the face because these vessels
are so delicate everywhere-in the
brain, the liver, the kidneys, all the
vital organs, which suffer in conse-
Quence. And the heart beats faster
1t beats faster because it's controlling

has not been stimulated any more
than the horse has been stimulated by
cutting its reins. We see, therefore,
how, till quite recently, doctors have
been deceived. Wine is a mocker!
But it need mock no longer. Apply
the teaching of experience, of science
and Of the Bible-all attest that in
the end it 'biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder"

BOXING A FAVORED PAsTIME
Large Number of Soldiers Drilling and
Training at AIdershot Make APP
peal for Boxing Gloves.

Boxing, a London magazine, has
made request for 1000 sets of boxing
gloves to be donated to the English
soldiers.
Boxing contests form one of the
principal pastimes with the English
soldier.
At the present time there are $780,.
900 soldiers at Aldershot drilling and
training for the war.
AS there are few exercises that will
fit a man physically quicker than box
ing, there has been a big demand for
more gloves. They do not ask for new
gloves-just boxing gloves of any
make or color.
Several firms have agreed to make
new gloves for cost, provided they are
donated to the army,
The practice of boxing has no doubt
had lot to do with the courage Of the
English soldiers. People in this coun-
try who try to cry down the practice
of boxing and boxing contests, should
remember that it has been said many
times that the time to prepare for war
was in times of peace.
There are more than two hundred
thousand men training at various
camps throughout the kingdom, and
there are going to be 100000 more
within the next three months. Well
these men can do with boxing gloves.
They will be better happier men if
they have them, and it is absolutely
certain that they will be filter men in
every way" said the editor of Boxing

fascinating pastime. Billiard tables
and bowling alleys are now an impor-
tant part of the equipment of hun.
dreds Of church clubs.
And the reason for the change is
that the home and the church have
come to look upon this game as a kind
of moral uplift for the youth. The
first essential of the game is temper
ance. To play good billiards one must
be in splendid condition, physically
and mentally. A shaky hand cannot
hold a cue, a blurred eye cannot see
the ball, a clouded brain cannot find
the proper angle for the difficult shot.
Every one who plays billiards is am
bilious to improve his game. He can
do this only by living the clean life.

NO UPHEAvAL IN BUSINESS.

Chicago in a sermon on Liquor
Logic" "the other industries Of the
country, employing 100000 people,

sons who are now engaged in the
manufacture of distilled liquors and
only 54,579 who are now engaged in
the manufacture of fermented liquors.
