BEAUTY AND BELLE
BY MARY EVANS oALRRAITH.

Copyright 1914 by W. C. Chapman)
"A mighty slick Young fellow"
was what most people said of Joel
Quinby.
"A steady-going plodder." was the
way Ned Travers was designated.
Both were in love with Constance
Farrar. beauty and belle. Naturally
Joel attracted her with his brilliant.
dashing ways. When Constance se-
riously reflected, however. her
thoughts mostly favored Ned.
Both young men had future to
make. and both started In with the
big wholesale house OF Brown & Co.
on an equal footing and with even
chances.
Joel was in the buying. and Ned in
the selling department. The house
had a large clientele. With Ned the
effort was to buy as cheaply as posi-
BILE, with Joel to sell at the best profit
he could get The latter had the In
stincts of a natural trader and forged
ahead rapidly. He began to sport
loud clothes. diamonds. and assumed
an independent. staggering manner
that did not wig friends among his
associates.
One day Ned had an insight into
the character of joel that affected him
gravely. Joel invited him to visit
his club. 1t was all new to Ned. who
noticed that Joel made himself con-
spicuous. Some men were playing
cards at a table. when Joel sauntered
towards them,

"Donei"
The money was put up. One of the
card players selected a card. 1t was
the ten of spades. Silently he showed
1t to Joel and his companions. Then
he lay 1t face down on the table.

How does the evolution of the horse

on Sunday. One week day she asked
him to stay for dinner. She prepared
just what she had-no dessert. When
the meal was finished the aunt noticed
Robert was expecting something.

He had heard a lion roaring as he

erts surmlsed that the beast was stalk

thought to the matter. Lions were
cowardly beasts. and unless driven by
hunger rarely attacked a man. and
never in the open.
He shot a guinea fowl and was rest

to rise before returning to camp. Sud

Five hundred yards away. fiat on his
stomach, visible only by reason OF the
dark spot that he made against the
yellow grass, was Westoby Westoby
stalking Roberts. covering him with
his rifle and worming his way toward
him.
Roberts was paralyzed with horror
1t was not fear OF death: hit at that

easy enough to dodge into the bush

When would Westoby fire? Roberts
sat quite still. He felt sure that West

was delaying-perhaps he wanted to

Roberts saw the lion rise and crouch
to spring. A scream OF horror broke
from Roberts lips "Westobyi" he
yelled.
At that instant the lion sprang.

Some months aSo. ii was published
throughout the United States that
Thomas ~ Edison, probably the hest
known inventor in the world. made
the statement that within short time
there would he more electric current

tctics i'll electric vehicles than was
now being consumed for housc-liSh Mt

Further, Or. Charles l.. Steinmc;z.
the electrical wizard. recently made
the statement that within the ucNt ten
years over million electric ears would
lie sold. These prophecies at the time
they were made. seemed impossible
even to many of those who were close
ly allied with the industry, as the
character Of the electric car as made
ut the time these statements We're
offered seemed to prohibit the realiza
ton Of these prophecies. However. the
character Of the electric car is rapidly
changing. Its mileage and speed have
been increased and its price greatly
reduced. while its general quality Of
excellence has been maintained.
This fact is forcibly in evidence
