HIS LONELY CLIENT
BY ETHEL WAGNER MoULToN.

Copyright, 1914, by w. G. Chapman)
At twenty-one Basil Worden half in.
vented a new suction cleaner, talked
too much about 1t, dallied in getting
it protected and claimed that big cor
poration stole the idea away from him.
This embittered Worden. He grum-
bled that the world was all against
him, and acted out the child of genius
rudely crushed down by an adverse
fate and the hard-hearted neglect of a
cold cruel world.
He was in love at the time, or
fancied he was, and truth is that had
he acted a little more manly and seI-
sible, Nella Brooks might have learned
to esteem him. After while, how
ever, she began to tire of his cowardly
complaints against destiny. She real
lied the flaws in his weak character
and when he proposed to her gently
but firmly declined the honor.
'Pll get event" Kissed Worden, show
ing his true malevolent spirit. you'll
rue the day you cast away an honest
love-"
This made Nella more skeptical of
his manliness than ever. She shud-
dered at the evil glare in his eye, and
when he had departed was glad that
she was through with him.
The world don't want useful inven-
tions," snarled the misanthropic
genius. 'I'll give them dose of some
thing else"
And he did. Worden was gone from
the village for year when an article
appraised his former friends that he
was fugitive from justice. 1t ap-
peared that he had turned his inven-
tive genius to very bad account He
had devised clever apparatus for
boring holes in Safes 1t seemed that

storm of sobs and tears.

There could be but one response on
the part of the chivalrous Bruce to the
appeal of the anxious Nella. What
ever was done must be accomplished
secretly, cautiously, for he too believed
that the desperate Worden would not
hesitate to sacrifice little Ohio if he
found out that he was being hunted
down. For the time being Bruce
ceased to be a lawyer and became a
detective
81 will find the child If diligence and
effort can bring 1t about" he pledged
Nella, and the grateful look in her
eyes was sufficient reward for his I'M
selfish determination.
Nella had photograph of Worden
taken some years previous. Bruce was
also given one of little Ohio by Nella.
The preliminary stages of his unusual
quest gave him rugged, battling ex-
perience he had not apprehended. But
there came a final reward for his dill
gence and courage.
"At last!" he breathed with intense
satisfaction at the end of a gloomy
rainy day, as he penetrated the bleak
corridors of a still more gloomy tene-
ment building.
Thither he had traced his man and
confederate. Through the transom
of an unoccupied apartment adjoining
Bruce viewed the pair in earnest con-
versation.
MAJ, rich, lets the dog run loose
and all that?" Worden was asking.
yes" assented his companion.
"All right then you take the boy
past the place. Make great cutlery,
grab the boy up in your arms and
claim that the dog has bit him in a
dozen places. Get the names of some
of the crowd around Then I'll fix the
kid up so that when we bring a suit
for damages the rich owner of the dog
will settle for a small fortune. This
does it, see?'' and the speaker fiend-
ishly brandished a metal instrument
in the air.
What is it," asked his confrere.
II call it my dog bite machine" was
the chuckling reply, "and it is true

makes lot of holes, just like the bite
of dog. Sort of tough on the kid, but
we've got to make living" gloated
the diabolical wretch, "and the kid
can't squeal."
Bruce fastened for the police and
within an hour was at the den of the
two conspirators. Within another hour
Basil Worden knew that he was
doomed to long Imprisonment for
past and present deeds and Bruce was
on his way to Neila with little Ohio.
She shuddered with horror as Bruce
detailed the cruel fate Ohio had es-
capped. She drew closer to him as she
realized all he had done for her. Re-
flected in her eyes was the tender love
light that glowed within his own.

Maps In Tapestry.

Two English-worked TAPESTRY maps
which belonged to Horace Walpole
have just been put on exhibition at the
Victoria and Albert Museum. They
came from the Bodleian library, at Ok
ford, and are of immense size, though
they only cover few counties of Eng
land One OF them Is fragmentary,
but the other is a good example of

Richard Hyckes, on William Sheldon's
looms, after he had studied weaving
in Holland Every place marked is

abound. One of them runs: This

dip! Hip! Hurrah!"

Hip! Hip! Hurrahl" our modern
yell of delight, is said to have an
ancient origin. The word chip" is
supposed to be composed of the mi
tial letters of the Latin phrase Hero
solyma est perdita,' meaning "Jerusa-
lem is destroyed" the q" in chip" be-
ing substituted for the re" In "est. "
When the German knights were per-
scouting Jews in the middle ages they
are said to have run shouting Hip,
hip as much as to say Jerusalem is
destroyed. Hurrah is said to be frcrl
the Slavonic "hu-raj," meaning to par
adise. Hence, hip, hip, hurrah'
would mean Jerusalem is lost, we are
on the way to paradise"

Betty in search OF thrill" will be
shown at the Grand today and to.
night with Elsie Janis In the leading
role. She is here depicted In n com.
edy written by herself and in her own
yivacious manner drives home the
pitfalls into which any inexperienced
girl is apt to stray.
When Betty arrives home from the
convent to visit her unclc's family,
they are careful to hide all extreme
low.nccked gowns and other worldly
things lest they shock the devout con-
vent girl. Betty finds them and in.
stead OF shocking, they fascInate.
They instill in her a desire to know
more about such things which the
world contains. Therefore when Jim,
(Owen Moore) young bachelor, pro.
poses to her, she frankly tells him
she loves him, but must see the world
first. Angrily he leaves her as she
sits before the quaint old fireplace,
whose dreamy flames seem to paint
wondrous pictures, which tempt her to
a knowledge Of things to her unknown.

At the present time the Democratic administration Is
running far behind and is at loss to know where and

steps must be taken to remedy It. The Democratic

citizens That the Democratic administration realizes
its weakness n regard to the stand tariff is evidenced
by the fact that within the last month two there has
much talk OF revising tariff sugar wool and
other articles.
Already there is much agitation from many quarters
that high protective tariff must be built up around the

There can be no doubt but that an antidumping mea.

Tariff is going TO be one of the biggest issues-the
biggest issue in the next presidential election. The bus.

PROSPERITY AND PROTECTION.

n RosPERITY and protection 20 hand in hand The
history Of out country proves this. The greatest
periods of prosperity ever enjoyed by the United
States were during periods in history when high
protective tariff was in force and when America
protected against the influx of cheap products Euro
pean markets. Whenever deviation has been made
from the path of protection and the trader and
wtarf advocate has been given the needed power
the legislative bodies to put their IDEAS into practice
the result has been disastrous 10 the best interests OF
the country
IN 1912 "a Democratic president was elected by the
people of the United States and gave this president
majority in both houses at Washington, which enabled
passage Of certain tariff contrary to protcc
ton and the principles of the Republican party. The
suit has been most disastrous and It certain
that the people Of this country will put the Republican
party back in power at the next presidential election
which will be held one year from next month. The peo
pie OF this country that they made great mis-.

Senator Boise Penrose in address made recently

those which existed in this country in 1896 and that the
history would likely repeat itself the 1916 election
Said the senator:
Conditions, political and industrial prevailing in
1896 were quite similar to those prevailing in this coun

The people lad deliberately abandoned the policy OF
protection. The WilsonGorman tarlN law had been en-

misery ensued. Then the people, having had the bitter
experience, came back TO the Republican party. The
great presidential contest of 1896 was brought to sue
cessful conclusion.
The country was placed upon sound money standard

The opposition to the denomination

is personal, because It is held by
those opposing his second nomination,
that he lacks dignity, statesmanlike
restraint, pulchritudinosity, poise and
a few more human characteristics

OF Woodrow Wilson should possess.
The opposition is political because
