which was spent on locomotives.
The longest period he was off duty

weeks in 1907. Another noteworthy
feature of this service of more than
half century is that Mr.. Chamberlin
will retire with an absolutely clear

Chamberlin was born in Worcester.

periods was travelling engineer and

CHAPTER XIV.


Copyright, 1915, Star Company
As Reeves asked his question Mary
Baird recoiled as il he had struck her.
She did not reply. and he repeated his
query in a different form.
And how do you know l am not
engaged?' he insisted.
Because-because." she faltered.
II never thought that you would
that you would-ever care'-
She stopped, arrested by the look
on his face.
"well-you see how mistaken you
were he returned.
You mean-you mean," she stam-
mered, that it's really true?"
"Of course it isl" he asserted And
why not? Just because a mans forty
five and been lonely for years don't
mean that he's never to have things
the way he wants them, does it?
am going to marry Miss Hardy" he
added, maJestically.
The woman drew a step nearer, her
eyes flashing. And me- she remind
ed him. What about me?"
"Oh, YOU can go on living here he
said easily, as he walked into the din
ing room.
But she followed him, closing the
door behind her so that any one COM
ing to the kitchen porch would not
overhear what she had to say.
Wait a minute" she commanded.
DO you mean that I'm to stay here as
housekeeper--just like 1 have al
ways?"
The man flushed. We'll. yes" he
said awkwardly, you can stay on and
make yourself useful. You've always
had an easy time here. Mary. on some
farms the size of this there'd be the
men to feed. But any men that work
here go home nights and bring their
dinner pals with them mornings. So
there's been only me to work for. At

hire extra help. Then there's always
a woman every week to do the wash
ing and ironing. I've treated you well,
Mary"

It's not the work I'm afraid of,
Gustus Reeves, and you know it, she
declared But you're not going to
put a mistress over me to boss me
do you hear? I'm not going to have a
emit of a girl rule me after all these
years. And I'll tell her so, too! I'M
derstand?"
Augustus Reeves came close to her
his face crimson with rage, his lower
Jaw thrust forward. He drew down
his brows until they projected above
his small gray eyes. His red hair
seemed to bristle.
You'll do as I tell you." he ex-
claimed. Remember that! You'll

Shut up!" he roared. who'd be-
lieve any tale of yours when I'd SAID
my say and told them that was sorry
for you in your trouble and had taken
care of you both for years? Who'd
believe you, ] say?"
"Gustus! Gustus!" she pleaded,
seizing him by the arm. Don't talk
so! Don't! You always promised that
some day perhaps you'd marry me,
and I've always hoped you would
even when you refused again and
again 1 hoped you would. Haven't l
been everything to you all these years
Haven't l stayed right here and work
ed for you? Haven't l been faithful
in my work?'
He Filings Her Past in Her Face
And what about what I've done
he argued. His manner changed sud
denly. Angry as he was, he would
rather settle this matter calmly, here
and now, once for all. Listen, Mary,
he went on. Haven't I given you
good home? Didn't I send you to
safe place when your baby was born?
Didn't | pay for all your needs there,
and haven't | paid for keeping your
child in a good home for feeble-mind-
ed children, when he might have been
sent to some public institution? Has
there been single month that
haven't given you the money to send
for his keep there?
Remember all these things, and
remember that your life has not been
the kind that most folks would over
look. Most people would despise you II
they knew the truth. I've seen to it
that they didn't know. Not soul in

You'd have been ruined If they

weren't any innocent young girl when
you came here but widow who knew

man anything. It's the woman that
gets the cold shoulder. If man has has
money he can make people believe

rowly. made one more appeal to him.
"Gustus," she begged, it'll almost
kill me to see anybody else here!
| Don't make me stay. l love you,
Gustus. Let me go away quietly, and
| Just send me enough money for the
boy till | can get work to do

iner servile.

won't! Here you stay, and If you don't
do as I say-well, the worse for you!
You've got so used to being taken care
of that you don't stop to think how
you'd be without cent, and you with
no trade and no reputation, and not
even any good looks left. Now go and
get dinner-and hurry
She went as a whipped dog would
/ have gone. Yet when she had shut the
door between her and the man who
had temporarily cowed her, there
came into her eyes an evil CLEAN that
would have reminded a keen observer
| that in her veins ran Indian blood
| the blood of the race that never for
gets and never forgiyes an injury.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this oid-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 90 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff,
dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because 1t darkens so nat
urally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been aplied-its so easy to
use. too. You simply dampen a comb
or soft brush and draw 1t through your
hair. taking one strand at a time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two, 1t is
restored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Ady.

Barnes, Republican leader, as costs
and disbursements in the recent trial
in this city, when the jury dismissed
the $4,000 libel sult brought by
Barnes. 1t was agreed by attorneys
that Roosevelt could have eXacted
$4,000 more. because of the eXtraor-
dinary length of the trial. but he asked
only the actual court costs incurred.
Justice Andrews, who treid the case
also signed a new order, refusing to

GASOLINE WILL
HIT HIGH SPOTS
Price of Tires Will Be In
creased 20 Per Cent. by
First of the Year

There comes from York a wall of
protest at the increase in the cost of
gasoline and the threatened famine
that is facing consumers down there.
All indications point to the probability
that Harrisburg will shortly be in the
same predicament. Gas is selling to-
day at 20 cents a gallon. although
some dealers go as low as 19 cents.
At this time of year. when the de-
mand is so materially lighter than
during a pleasanter weather, there
must be some very good reason why
the price should go up, and the blame
is placed upon the increased con-
sumption of gasoline by the nations
of Europe engaged in the war, and
the falling off in the output of crude
oil. Oil companies claim there is an
unusual shortage of crude oil from
reported by several local dealers that
refined oil went up a cent gallon
this morning.
Gasoline in New York cannot be
bought under 20 cents a gallon. and
prominent automobile dealer in this
city to-day prCphesied that the price
would soar to at least 20 cents before
it got through. 1t is also reported
that the price of tires will be in
creased 20 per cent. by the first of the
year, inasmuch as there is a scarcity
of crude rubber and the preparation
required to convert the raw into the
finished product is said to have
jumped 20 per cent. in price. This
statement was made on good author
ity by a number OF expert Philadel-
phia tire concerns.
The stupendous increase in the
number of machines being used by
the warning nations and the conse-
quently vast increase in foreign con-
sumption of gas is undoubtedly the
big reason for the approaching in
crease. Many local dealers this
morning had received no word as to
the possible rise, but all were en-
phatic in their assurance that there
was not a chance in the world that
the price would drop one little bit
