Lefty went slowly down the stairs.
Her mental poise had come back to
her. She thought Of her mothers

for herself. hidden though it was be-

looked out into the village. There

Talked Themselves to Death.

The old Roman senators lost their
lives because one of them was an.
noyed and talked. The barbarians
were besieging Rome and someone
told them about the senate. One of
them said:
Boys. let's go in and throw their
whiskers out on the scrap pile"
In they went. without passes, after
tossing the doorkeeper out Of the
window. The senator's, in their au.
gust. imperial dignity. overawed the
barbarians as they rushed into the
chamber. till one Of the wise men
spoke in anger when a vandal touched
his beard. Then the rude. unlettered
ones lost all reverence and pu; the
venerable company to the sword. II
this man had kept still it might have
delayed the death Of the entire sen.
ate more than twenty minutes.
Someone once said Of Marshal Won
Moltke that he knew how to be silent
in seven languages.

CHANGED HER MIND
One Way Lay Fame and Joy; the
Other Duty consecrated
by Love.

Letue's voice rose high and clea,
above the accompaniment that she
played upon the cracked old piano
When Lettie sang she lost herself IL
the ecstasy Of the melody. It was q
song from "Rigoletto." but she did no,
know that; she had found the music
among miscellany left BY the las,
summer boarder.
"Drat that girl" exclaimed Mrs.
French, setting down her pans. She
emerged from the kitchen into the
parlor where Lettie sat.
i wish you'd have q little consider

said querulously. Didn't you know

and turned from the piano. Mrs.
French went back into her kitchen
again
Just then the parior door opened
and Miss Lathem entered. She vas
dressed In her peignoir; her hair.
hanging loosely down her back, ave
her singularly youthful appearance.
Nobody would have guessed that this
was the famous singer Of the opera
house, who was proudly displayed
upon the billboards nightly during the
season.
Don't stop for me. Lettie," she said.
Won't you sing that again! Who
taught you to sing!"
Oh, it Just comes natural, / reck-
on" said Lefty, with an embarrassed
laugh
But, my dear. that was wonderful.
Don't you know that you have a re-
markable voice." Miss Latham asked.
IF that were trained you might have
a great future before you"

Only one thing would the inventor
agree to-that Wilfred was to become
his partner. In three months capital

running again. At the end of the
year Wilfred and Amy were man and
wife.

Ford Cars.
DETROIT, Mich. April Il
Orders for Ford motor cars are
coming in so rapidly that the
company finds difficulty in sup
plying the demand on schedule
of approximately LOCO cars a
day, which it has set from Aug
est 1, 1914, to Aug. l, 1915.
This means that unless some.
thing unforeseen should occur,
purchasers Of Ford cars who
placed their orders after Aug.
l, 1914, or do so before Aug. 1,
1915, will receive a rebate of
something between $40 and sec
on each car.
This would mean that the Ford
Motor Car Company will return
to purchasers total of $l5, O0O-
600 at least.-Asso. Press.
This means the distribution OF
considerable money among Baca
county people.
