2s-rNAr DAUGHTER Of YOURS.

On is already pove rty
stricken if his habits are
not thrifty" Theodore T.
Munger.
She's a little bit of a girl now.
Maybe she's just learning to
creep a little and lisp a few
words that nobody can under
stand but you and her mother.
Perhaps she has just started to
go to school.
AT any rate her wants are
few aud simple as yet. But
she is learning to want more
all the time.
! By-and-by she will need nice
dresses, a high school, and per-
haps a college education. If
she's at all unsteady inclined
she will want a piano and many
lesson on it.
If you are a wise, forward
looking father you will begin
today to save for the increasing
needs of your growing daugh-
ter. If you have more than one
daughter. if your "quiver is full
of them.' your responsibility
is proportionately greater.
A Philadelphia schoolgirl
asked permission to quit school
and 20 to work. She said her
father was killed, her mother
waslill, and her brother on half
pay 80 she had to help support
the family.
Might a series of misfortunes
put YOUR daughter into a
similar position? Or is your life
insured, and are you building
a bulwark of savings at the
bank to protect her from such
a possibility
This is frankly a sermon. but

Descendants Of Attila.

In these later days we often hear the
name of Attila, the terrible chief of
the Huns. A noble family of Hun
gary, the Tslaki family, claims him for
ancestor. This family lives in Teme'
svar, in Transylvania. Its members
speak only the Hungarian language
even when they journey in the Ger
man part Of Austria. Another family
that puts Attila on it's genealogical tree
Is the Esterhazy which also claims de-
scent from Enoch, father Of Methuse'
hh and great-grandfather Of NOAH

Exhaustion Often Overcame Soldiers
in the Retreat From Mons,
Says Eyewitness.

Stories of the sleep of soldiers on
the march are not uncommon enough;
but DR.. George w. Grille states that
of the several hundred thousand men
who made the forced march from
Mons to the Marne, nine days with
but the slightest rest, the great ma
jority slept on foot. The unVarled
testimony of the soldiers was that
everyone slept at times.
'They passed through villages
asleep" the doctor said, according to
the New York Evening Post. When
sleep deepened and they began to
reel, they were awakened by their
comrades. They slept in water, on
stones, in brush, or in the middle OF
the road as if they had suddenly fallen
in death. With the oncoming lines OF
the enemy, no man was safe VINO
drorped out of the ranks. for no mat
ter on what pretext he fell out, sleep
conquered him. That the artillerymen
slept on horseback was evidenced by
the fact that every man lost his cap.
Doctor Gross of the American am
bulance tells of the exhaustion OF the
men at Meaux, where he found a large
school building packed with 500
wounded men. Some were dying, some
dead. but all were asleep.
bleeding, yet asleep; legs shat,
tered, yet asleep; abdomen and chest
torn wide open, yet asleep" he said.
"They were lying on the hard floor,
without hay or straw. Not a groan,
not a motion, not a complain-only
sleep!"
The Ely miner., 1915-12-31

Hazard pressed him.
The young man returned a ques-
tioning look, but answered.:
Yes. Frisbie is my name-Carl
Frisbie. At the last moment Mr..
Prince was taken i'll, and l had to
come in his stead. Are you MI
Bidder"
mo, but I'm representing him. I'll
explain everything by and by. Do you
remember this lady?"
Frisbie glanced at Helen and col
ored with embarrassment.
I'LL think not" he stammered.
81 never saw her before"
Helen and Hazard exchanged
glances and smiled, detecting which
Frisbie pleaded:
What the dickens does it all mean?
I've had the DEVILS own time since
landing in Chicago"
"All in good time, Mr.. Frisbie; there
are number of explanations to be
made all round. "
First, though, about the papers you
were to bring"
The other interrupted:
"By George, that crook didn't get
them! l was taking no chances. Be-
fore leaving New York mailed them
to myself, registered, care of the
Blackstone hotel. l suppose they or a
notice are there now"
Some time later, when Felix Hazard.
Carl Frisbie and Helen Bertel gath
cred in the first-named's office, the
young engineer was incredulous when
told that he had lost a whole twenty
four hours out of his life, but after a
while he believed, and could not find
words to express his gratitude. AS
matter of fact, his demeanor toward
Helen was so ardent that Hazard ex-
perienced a peculiar feeling of resent
ment against him. his interest in the
affair promptly grew lukewarm.
And when, finally, the connection be-
tween Denver Ed and the Hercules
and Rawlings and an official of the
competing company were convicted Of
criminal conspiracy, the detective re-
ceived the news with an exclamation
of impatience.
Miss Bertel, who told him about it.
gave him a sly look.
Perhaps" she demurely added, you
think they should have gotten longer
stretches; but for one feel sorry for
poor Ed Rawlings. He looked so
handsome-in Mr.. Frisbie's clothes"

We'll drop in on my friend Cowles over
at police headquarters"
An hour later Lieutenant Cowles
greeted the trio at police headquar
ters.

nounced, eyeing Hazard. Keep your
promise and tell me why I'm holding
them; don't want to get into trouble. y
You'll get into the newspapers;
that's about the worst that will hap

IN Rawlings"
The Immediate effect of that indi.
vidual's appearance was startling and
thrilling. Before anyone could lift a
hand to interfere the unknown leaped
at Rawlings and the two went to the
floor in fighting, snarling heap. They
thrashed about so furiously that it was
impossible, until some seconds had
elapsed, for any of the several po-
licemen present to secure handhold
upon either of the combatants.
When presently they were dragged
apslt Rawlings was colorless and
gasping for breath, while the other
lay inert, a thin trickle of blood from
a wound above one temple indicating
where his head had struck against a
chair and caused his grip to relax.
In less than a minute, however, the
young fellow recovered consciousness
and looked about in a daZed, bewil-
dered way. Helen Bertel and Felix
Hazard, who were bending over him,
he seemed not to recognize at all. Ig-
noring them, he rose unsteadily to his
feet. His gaze straightway fell upon

between two uniformed men.

to the policemen: You chaps didn't

about to drop me into the river.

sudden burst of recognition.

quired

Restrained Affection.

Uncle Joe" Cannon's pedigree is
Scotch-Irish, and he delights in stories
Of both nationalities, particularly those
touching the peculiarities of the
Scotch temperament. He has one
with reference to the self-repression
of the Scot in matters of affection.
1t appears that an old friend of his.
of this stern ancestry, had been mar
ried about a year and was devotedly
attached to his wife. His life with
out her had been a hard and solitary
one, and in the sunshine she brought
him his nature had blossomed wonder
fully.
You are not as melancholy as ycy
used to be-" said Cannon to him.
Melancholy! l should say ncs!-
was the emphatic reply. How could
anybody be sad with such wife as
I've got? Why, sometimes, Joe, When
I think of what she's been to me, it's
as much as / can do to keep from
showing right out what I think OF
her!"

FANCY SKATING IS BOOSTED
Americans Are Deficient In One OF
Most Graceful and Healthfui Of
All Outdoor Sports.

Wherever outdoor sports are known
and INDUCED in, Americans have set
the mark of their athletic greatness.
Baseball football, hockey, lawn ten
mis-. polo, swimming-these and q
score of other outdoor activities have
all seen the names of our country
men and countrywomen among the
worlds greatest.
In view of this, 1t is all the more re-
markable that in one of the most
graceful and healthy of all outdoor
sports-fancy or figure skating =
Americans are notably deficient. In
fact, with the exception of Irving Bro
kaw, who has many times won the
national championship at this style OF
skating, and one or two others in the
past, the art is virtually unknown in
this country.
But with the recent arrival in this
country of Paul Wilson of Stockholm,
Sweden, it is possible that fancy skat-
ing will gain some of the popularity
here that it enjoys abroad. Mr.. VIII
son is young in years, but learned In
the science of cutting marvellous fig
ures on the ice, and his form is said
to be perfection itself.

The Immediate Effect Was Startling.

81 am inclined to believe all you
have said, Mr."
The pause fell fatty; the air of ex-
pectant waiting was natural and per-
suasive. The waits features lighted
up, and it seemed for an instant as
If he were about to supply the name;
but at once the light died away, and
the good-looking features clouded over
with a shadow of melancholy.
"It's no use," said the young man,
81 can't remember"
"You very nearly did," Hazard en-
couraged; you will, too, in time.
Keep trying. Fasten on to any fash
of memory-any little detail, however
fragmentary-and it will serve with
our help to rend the veil from your
past. Only have patience; amnesia
is by no means uncommon.
"Now, / want to ask you to come
with us; Miss Bertel and have to get
to our place of business. 1t may be
that you are luckier than you imag-
ined; for we both happen to be in
the employ of the Sutherland Detec-
tive agency"
Sutherland" the other interjected.
'T've heard that name!"
Can you recall any dealings that
you ever had with us in the past?"
The man seemed to concentrate all
faculties on the effort of remember
ing; but in the end he shook his
head dejectedly.

81 was about to add Hazard pur-

ter over in my mind we shall see
what can be done"
| The unknown offered no objections
to going with them, and as they pro-
gressed downtown Felix Hazard
watched him narrowly. Only once
did the detective address him directly.

Felix Hazard relaxed from his at

to lose interest. He said in an indif-
ferent tone:

The gray eyes flashed, and she re-
torted warmly:

adding:

GOOD SEASON FOR M'NAMARA
Boston Player Was Most Successful
Professional In Game-Possessor
of Fine Temperament.

Without doubt the most successful
professional in America this year is
Tom Mcnamara of Boston. He is
American born, and one of the trium-
virate of celebrated homebreds, the
other two of whom were Brady and
McDermott.
It will be remembered that he fin
ished second in the open champion
ship of the United States, which was
played at Baltusrol, at which time his
score of 29S for the 72 holes was but
single stroke behind Jerome Trav-
ers, who won the title. He followed
this up by capturing the open cham
Sionship of Philadelphia at Philadel-
phia Country club, with 296 for "
holes.

western open title at the Glen Oak

usual merit, for it will be seen that in

It was not merely that the girl who
asked him to go with her happened to
be Helen Bertel that Felix Hazard
readily consented to do so, but, more
over, because he had confidence in
her sharpness and common sense, and
felt that he was not sidetracking busi-
ness of moment in needing anything
brought by her to his notice. In few
minutes they entered typical West
side rooming house on busy street,
and were going through an unusual
form of introduction, inasmuch as Miss
ceremony no further than to murmur
Hazards name, and leave it to the
other to identify himself as best he
could
The waif, however, was by now per-
fectly self-possessed. Miss Bertebhad
felt justified in acquainting him with
all the circumstances. He realized his
predicament, and was not without a
theory to account for it-one which
showed that he was neither unintelli-
gent nor wholly unread.
He was a Incorporating man of per-

was plunged into depths Of despon-

W..

Hazard and MISS Bortel returned 10
the room where they had left the un-
known. For upwards of an hour the
detective tried to assist the young
man to penetrate the veil that hung
over his past, but all to no purpose.
Enlarging upon the story he had told
Miss Bertel, he repeated numerous
times all the names that must have
been familiar to anyone having con-
nection with the firms under consid-
GRAFTON, or any association with the
huge enterprise that was of such mo-
ment to his supposed confreres. The
unknown sat shaking his head and re-
peating: "It is all strange to me-" or
T never heard that name before"
Hazard gave up in despair. Where
upon Miss Bertel, who had remained
silent but interested spectator, was
at once inspired. She rose and laid
a sheet of paper on desk and handed
a pencil to the young man. Outside,
there was almost constant roar from
passing elevated trains. She pointed
to the structure and motioned to the
desk
Draw that" she commanded-"the
l. span right in front of you"
Without demur the young man seat
ed himself at the desk and bent over
the paper; but at once he reached out
hand and groped for something he
could not find
Next instant he started to his feet.
The pencil dropped from his fingers.
and like a man suddenly reused from
sleep he stood blinking at Hazard and
the girl.
