Then the very day Of the wedding
Doris Dsbuey disappeared. It wss
scandal, of course. She had eloped
with her fathers good-looking Danish
chauffeur. II the news leaked out It
would spoil everything. So Jane had
been called to the rescue to play the
part Of Doris, to wear her gown and
to appear with the priceless Dabney
pearls and sapphires for the wedding.
Toms citation was divided between
delight at having found Jane and Joy
at having found his big story" He
was hvrrying away when Jane, fol-
lowing him. put a hand on his arm.
How did you happen to be here7"
she ask. you don't travel in the
Morris set. Tell me. Tom"-there was
anxious appeal in her voice-"are you
still with the Morning Starr"
Then Tom. now more intent on his
story than on his revived love for
Jane, and Jane. herself afraid Of being
discovered, departed hurriedly as
some guests came toward them.
II was nearly midnight, and Tom
was pounding the keys Of his type
writer In the sitting atmosphere Of
the city room OF the Morning Star.
He was Just hammering out the last
paragraph of his big story a real
scoop" for the Morning Star, for none
Of the other papers could possibly
have got wind of the scandalous elope-
ment OF the beautiful Doris.
Tom felt pressure on his arm and
a sweet voice at his side. 1t was

with a simple street suit in place Of
Doris finery.
'Ts It too late?" she asked breath
lessly. Il came as soon as could. l

told you because you are friend"
Ten minutes later. Toms story Of
the Morris-Norris nuptials. shorn Of
all its sensation, having gone to
press, Tom and Jane left the ONCE Of
the Morning Star. It was in q de-
serted surface car that led to the
Morris home that Jane pressed Toms
hand to thank him for what he had
done.
1T was hard" admitted Tom, and I
wouldn't have done It for anyone else
in the world. But I've always loved
you. Jane. and for you would give
up the biggest story I ever trapped
down. And now I've found you. little
Jane. I am not going to let you CO."
And something in James smile as
sured Tom that he had not made his

WHAT IS A NORMAL SCHOOL,

Not every man can teach what he
knows.
Not every school master can
make the children interested and
shape their growth.
The training of teachers is rather
new in this country. II used to be
supposed that anybody who was
lame and could not work might be
set TO teach the children!
The Berea Normal School has as
its one aim the benefit OF the chill
dren OF the mountain region. II
aims to give them teachers who
will know their business and can
cause the children TO love their
studies and make rapid progress
toward manhood and womanhood.
II is one of the very few normal
schools in the world in which the
majority of the students are young
men, and in which the chief at
ention is given in fitting teachers
for work in the country districts.
The equipments Of the Berea Nor
NAL School are great. Chief among
them stands the wonderful Car
negie Library. and the Knapp Hall
for practice teaching.
The School has longer and shorter
courses Of study. Those who com
plete the longest course receive a
certificate from the State without
examination. Those who go for
only a single term get ideas which
they can work out by themselves
The School has great advantages
also by being connected with the

A half hour later Tom was part Of
the gay sssemblage Of the city's rich
est and most exclusive set that had
gathered at the palatial Norris resi-
dence TO witness the most deliberately
planned wedding Of the season.
During the strains Of the wedding
march Tom watched intently. He had
the names of the bridesmaids before

Colonel Bryan was not always so
profound facifist as he is now. He
wrote the Democratic national plat
form of 1900. upon which he ran for
President. The platform denounced
the ill concealed Republican alliance
with England, which must mean dis
elimination against other friendly
nations, and which has already
stified the nations voice while liber-
ty is being strangled in Africa" OF
course if the United States had at
tempted to fight the battle of the
Beers. i. would have meant war
with the biggest naval power in the
world.
Col. Bryan was also for war dur
in the Aguinaldan rebellion-not
war waged by the United States for
the vindication of it's supremacy, but
war waged against authority and
the flag of the United States by the
coterie of corrupt Tagal adventures
headed by Aguinaldo, whom Col.
Bryan toasted as one of the world S
heroes and a second George Wash
ington.

A Creditor Nation.

The United States is rapidly be-
coming a creditor nation. At the
outset of the war, when Great Brit
ian declared a moratorium, so far as
its own debts were concerned, and
demanded payment of all balances
due it, there was much alarm in this
country. But the bankers raised the
famous gold pool and sent it to Can
ada. This was a convincing illustra-
tion of the solvency of this country.
Most of the gold has come hack.
Gold has also been pouring in from
other sources, until the banks of
New York City Clearing House alone
last week carried a reserve of $685.
156,5O0 in excess of legal require
ments. The excess was over four
times that of the same week last
year. The reason is plain,~ We
have been selling to Europe without
buying much from it. Instead of
having to send gold to settle bal
ances, the gold is being sent here.
This is why the price of London ex-
change is lower than at any other
time in half century.
The end of the war is not in sight
Great Britain, which has been fnan-
cling the allies to large extent, has
accumulated a huge deficit and will
likely borrow a billion dollars at
once. American financiers are get
ting ready to absorb much of this
loan. The part taken here will not
be paid in money but in credits. Most
of the proceeds of the loan will be
used in paying for supplies bought
in this country. France is also dis
cussing the floating of more large
loans. under slightly different cir
cumstances. 1t would use gilt-edged
American securities as collateral.
The fear of the market being food
ed with securities, which closed our
stock exchange at the outbreak of
the war, has vanished. Foreigners
look upon American securities as
their choicest possession now. In
fact. there is talk of foreign gov
eminent taxing them heavily to
force liquidation. But even in this
event. the United States is prepared
to pay for them with products Eu-
rope must buy. Horrible as the war
is and eager as all are to see its
close. 1t has given the United States
financial advantage such as it has
never known before.-Globe Demo-

Hindenburg's Hobby.

Dogs and tobacco. Those are the
two passions of Gen. Won linden
burg. His appearance is that of a
fighter. He looks very fierce, and
that is why he has been described as
terrible"
The best way to Hipdenburg s
good graces is to steal and present
him with a fine dog or to recommend
to him a good cigar. Only the 9TH
err day a convoy of choice dogs left
the front for Hanover, where Hin
denburg lives. under escort of an
orderly with a special passport sign
ed by the field marshal himself. He
smokes necessarily, especially when
he is sleepless. He then smokes out
his plans, says then the Standard.
and when he has beaten the Rus
SLAMS in thought he dozes off.
He likes a grim joke, especially
against the Prussian ministers. Late
ly two undercesretaries arrived from
Berlin, and after giving them an icy
reception. he invited them for a
drive in his motor car. He drove
them right into the line of the Rus
sian fire. AS thew drew near the
secretaries did not dare protest, but
as the bullets began to rustic round
them they begged the general to stop
the car. quite impossible" said
Won Hindenburg. and imperturbably
drove on. In little while, though.
the situation became so extremely
perilous that he had pity on his
guests and returned to camp.
