next day she bought him a diamond
pin. He had said he had lost his pin.
How surprised he would be at the
gift!
He was. And, always respectful,
he took her here and there and
everywhere. The girls eyes were
opening fast. Their cOmradeship, so
frank and friendly, took on softer
note. She let him hold her hand.
Once he kissed it, and she thrilled
with happiness.
He was to call and take her to a
private theatrical entertainment
very exclusive, very elite. Dorothy
was surprised that it was to be given
in a private house, but she went up
stairs without demur. They were the
first guests. EXcusing himself a mo-
ment, the young man withdrew, leav-
ing the girl alone in the dimly-lit
room.
1t was a tWO-rOOm apartment, with
a curtain in the middle. Dorothy be-
gan to grow uneasy, She heard foot
steps-and suddenly two men and a
woman-the slim blonde burst in.
"There she is?' shrieked the wom-
an. 20 you hussy! I'll teach you
I'll tear your eyes out"
She struggled wildly in the grip of
the men, while Dorothy, white with
terror, waited mutely.

said one of the men. eve are de-
tectives from the DOlf agency. If

Before Dorothy had quite taken in
his meaning the second man, Selling

gled with the blonde, came quietly up
to Dorothy.

Tomorrow night.
It was settled, and the girls heart
beat fast as he led her back to the
table, where Sanford gave her a kind
ly scOlding for sitting out with the
man. He did not know the secret of
his birth, and Dorothy felt hOnOred
in keeping it to herself. Sanford took
her home, laughed at her enthusiasm
and said good-by. He never dreamed
what plan was in DOrOthy's head.
On the next night Dorothy, inno-
cent, went to the cabaret alone. Tim
idly she sat at table. She did not
know what to order. Before she had
answered the waiter a young man
came up to- her and invited her to
dance. The leer on his face struck
Dorothy cold with terror.
Suddenly, with a bound, her friend
of the night before was at her side.
Get out of herew he stOrmed al
the other, who withdrew grudgingly.
A moment later Dorothy saw him
laughing with the slim blonde wom-
an. 1t might have seemed curious, /
but all her attention was cOncen-.
IT, ted on the young man at her side.
She told him her own story, of the
pent-in life in the country home, her
rich old father, absorbed in money
making, her loneliness in New York.
But you need an escort, said the
young man, MAY BE- privileged to
call myself your fTiend?" 1 can show
you life-the real life.
On the next evening he called for
her in a taXicab and took her to half !
a dozen cabarets, Dorothy had ali
impression of a whiFl of music, dan
cling, and laughter. The young man
had no change and Dorothy paid the
taxicab biII-twenty-two dollars. She !

BOILER EXPLOSION KILLS
 TWO IN MADISON COUNTY

Green Burgess and Luke Garter were killed instantly about noon Tuesday near Wharton when the boil CT of a sawmill. which they were op- erating, exploded The former was managing the engine and the latter was putting wood in the furnace when the explosion occurred Bur gess was blown through the roof of the mill shed and his horribly mang led body fell only a few feet from where he had stood. Both legs were broken, one twice, both arms broken, one ear about torn off and his head and face practically bursed open. Car ter was found about fifty yards from the mill, having been hurled over fence into a potato patch His limbs were also broken but his body was not so badly bruised and mangled as that of Burgess. Four or five other parties were present but they did not rife was the explosion that the boil er was blown about 250 feet from it base. A gum tree fifteen inches in diameter which stood near by was struck by the boiler and cut off al- most smoothly and two or three smaller trees in it's path were uproot- ed and splintered as if torn by ey- clone.
 The mill belonged to Burgess and was. located near his residence on Easterling creek. He had been saw ing most all the forenoon but had been having some trouble in keeping head of steam and had shut down the engine to investigate the cause of the trouble. Burgess soon located what was he thought was wrong. He
