One fine little way to discourage
enthusiasm for good roads is to en-

there are as speedways.

after numerous :.a-dsh!ps, managed
to finish his trip while the other was
surveying the wreck OF his car on the
roadside, the argument as to the
merits Of the respective roads is now
more heated than ever.
That ought to be enough OF that sort
Of thiEg. Country roads should not be
used for racing purposes. SpeedWaye
are built and maintained to accommo-
date drivers with the speed mania II
dirt tracks are not fast enough for
them, there are board tracks. But they
have no business using public high
ways II they care not for their own
necks, they must bear in mind the
necks Of others. It was thru good luck

nothing as to the quality OF the road

happens to make the trip more
quickly than another. More likely
would such contest demonstrate the
superiority of one car over another, OF
one driver over another

How He Made a Wish
Come True.
BY CLARISSA MACKIE

A party, of American sightseerS was
sdawdling about in Cairo. There were a
AIRS. Carleton. her son, Richard, and
Miss Maud Raymond. They had ascend
ed the Nile and seen the wonders there
8of, and now they were looking for trim
kets to take home with them to Amer
ica. They had drifted into a bazaar
where anything could be bought from
san amulet to an idol.
4 Gish Dewar sold trinkets in the ba
zaar.
All day long he sat in the shadow Of
his striped canopy, looking sad and
mysterious. His dark eyes never ques-
toned the passing crowds, nor did he
@importune the tourists to buy as did
his fellow merchants, who talked about
him.
"Who is this Gish Dewar? asked
Ali Benamid, the shoe dealer.
"A stranger who has pushed himself
u forward, a lazy one who does not hag-
gle. He sets a price upon his wares;
sand one may buy or not! Every day
z he loses customers"
.sThe rich Americans pause to buy.
See, Gish Dewar is almost asleep"
1t was true that Gish Dewar's tur-
4 baned head was dropping somnolently,
even while three Americans paused be-
Z fore his stall.
The old beggar's asleep, Maud"
a laughed the man carelessly. Let us
Hgo on"
But, Dick" protested the pretty
girl. Il do want one of these curious
tilagree bracelets and n of these long
chains of blue-green Egyptian scarabei.
Aren't they lovely. Mrs. Carleton? p
turning to the white haired woman
who accompanied them.
Eyes, my dear, but this little brooch
] like a coiled snake appeals to me. Oh,
A Dick to her Sol who was obviously
y bored, do awake the man"
Dick Carleton stided a yawn and
1 prodded Gish Dewar in the ribs with
his walking stick.
The turbaned head few up and a
1 pair of liquid dark eyes blazed at him
in hot anger.
But Gish Dewar's voice was silkily
| smooth.
| Excuse, effendi." he murmured;
you would buy?'
Eyes. this bracelet, now?" Maud Ray

fingers.

unsteady.
II will wager my ord 500 piastres
that / will return this money to him at
TIE moment of his greatest humiliation,
for he has been a false friend"
Dick laughed harshly and followed
his companions. His good looking face
wore a scowl. His thoughts were un
pleasant enough.
What did the fellow mean?' he ask
ed himself. What the deuce did he
mean by talking about false friendsY
Mrs. Carleton was apologizing for
her sons bad temper.
Il am afraid it is the topical sum-
she said, striving to reassure the girl
whom Dick wanted to marry. Maud
was her goddaughter and Mrs. Garlic
ton had counted upon this European
trip to bring about the desired engage
ment.
They went along the bazaar, and
while Dick and his mother picked out
a silky rug, Maud hurried back to Gish
Dewar. He was sitting there in that
motionless. meditative attitude.
He glanced up sharply at sound OF
her light step and then drew back into
the shadow.
In the sunlight her face shone with
its wonderful tints Of cream and pink
gray eyes, black dashed and cool. and
shimmering golden hair.
She was wasting a wonderful smile
upon the poor merchant.
II will buy the amulet" she said
softly. taking money from her purse
Hurry, pleased"
Gish Dewar opened the copper box
took out the onyx amulet and laid il
in her hand. but he waved away the
proffered money.
.Effendi has paid for it." he said in
a muff1ed tone.
But ! cannot take it unless you let
me pay for it. The gentleman is n o a
relative; he is merely a friend" she
said haughtily.
So Gish Dewar humbly took the
money and locked it in his copper box.
"Wear it next your heart. 1t will
bring back one who loves yOu." he
said.
Maud slipped the amulet into her
purse.

She had been engaged to him when
he set sail for China several years ago
and she had never received a letter

there and prospecting.
If he had chosen this way to break
their engagement Maud would meet

of explanation.

How much?" insisted the girl with
a note of Impotence in her voice.
"a hundred piasters," muttered the
seller of curios.
Miss Raymond took out her purse
and paid for the bracelet, and, having
priced the scarabei chain and finding
it too costly. they were about to move
on when Gish Dewar brought out a
small copper box and opened it.

New Melon on Market.

Tacoma-Another variety of melon
arrived on the local produce market
and is expected to step into line with
the popular cantaloupes and water
melons. This is the casaba from Cali
fornia. In the last several years it
has found an instant market here.
Wholesale dealers ask 2 cents pound.
Reports from the South say the quality
is excellent and the crop large.
Although the stiff advance taken in
egg prices last week was expected to
keep the market steady here for some
time, an added scarcity of this COM
modify has caused dealers to boost
prices to 33@34 cents a dozen for the
fresh ranch product.
Huckleberries are getting scarcer
and prices are higher, the berries now
demanding 5 cents pound. The de-
mand this season was brisk.
The fish market is well supplied
with halibut and salmon and small
fish. The demand is good. Butter
and cheese are steady. No change was
made in meat and poultry prices.

for itching" "Resinol has produced
brilliant results" "The result it gave
was marvellous in one of the worst
cases of eczema" ETC., etc, doesn't it
make you feel that this is the treat
ment I can rely on for MY skim
trouble?"
The moment Resinol Ointment
touches itching skins, the itching
stops and healing begins. With the
aid of Resinol Soap, it almost always
clears away every trace of eczema,
