THE EVENING STORY.
SUPERsTITI0US.
Copyright, 1915, by ". werner.)

Jessie broke the big six-foot mir
ror in the tiny reception hall almost
! before the preliminaries OF mousse
| cleaning were over. For moment
she stood as though paralyzed. She
! was superstitious to the very tips OF
. her pretty white fingers. Seven years
of bad luck A long convulsive shud-
| der shook her. Then a fury of rage
| took possession of her. Why had
Aunt Jenny chosen to send so pre-
posterous, SO unwieldy, so undesir-
able a wedding present? Ever since
| she and Edward had gone to house
| keeping a year ago that thing had
been a torment. 1t was too big Tor
their dainty cottage, too cumbersome
to fit in with their other furniture!
and gazed with horror at the gleamo
ing fragments What would happen:
She had feared for some time that
she and Edward were too happy Sne
had hoped once twice that Some-
thing would happen-nothing very
bad-but something disconcerting to
take the edge off their happiness;
She had hinted as much to Edward
He had laughed. saying: Maybe
you'll get the smallpox. Or I'll steal
some money and run away
But he had not reassured her. They
were too happy. Every one in town
haG not single source of unhappi-
ness She loved Edward. He loved
her. He was cashier of the bank
practically president, for old Mr.. Hop
kins, the president was sick a great
deal and left all the work to Edward.
1t was really a very important posi-
tion for so young man. Jessie was
proud of her husband And perhaps
she faunted her pride. There had been
more than one girl in town who, she
knew, would have liked to be in her
place.
They had received lovely wedding
presents. Everything, except the mir
ror. just what they wanted. Their
cottage was one of the most attractive
in town. They had many friends.
Jessie had an Angora cat Edward
had just bought an automobile Also.
they had begun to dip heavily into
oriental rugs. Oh, there was no use

With a heavy heart she waited for

cheerful. Jessie forced a smile to her
face.
We'll. tomorrow" chaffed Frederick,
I'll see if you are due for Jail term,

Jessie played with her soup.
Il wish you'd postponed your visit a

Anna went to call Jessie When she
came back Edward was saying, And

Il brought mine," said Frederick. "I
guess you can take a day off, can't
you?"
What for?" shrilly demanded Jessie,
unable to control herself longer.
Both men looked up in surprise at her
tone.
TO shoot rabbits" said Edward in
surprise. What else do you think?
And they're thick" jubilantly. There
hasn't been enough shooting yet this
season to spoil the sport. Say, have
rushed this week getting the work
cleaned up before you came"
Jessie ate her dinner industriously
There was a faint pink spot in each
cheek.
Said she candidly to herself-not a
word to Edward, of course-'I never
knew before just what an idiot 1 could
be if / tried.''

Mrs. Caroline V. Reed Says Husband
Is Back in Alimony.

Mrs. Caroline V Reed has filed suit
for maintenance against George F.
Reed. who. she says, has violated an
agreement of separation under which
she has lived apart from him since
1905. She declares he has paid nothing
to her support since January 81, 1915,
and that she is now in straitened
circumstances.
The couple was married December 8,
1904, and separated in September, 1908.
The wife says her husband then agreed
to pay her $50 monthly. She says she
received a letter from her husband last
week in which he stated he expected
to be thrown into bankruptcy and that
he would put her name in his list of
creditors.
Attorneys T L. Jeffords and G. A
Maddox ask for the wife that the hus-
bands real estate, valued at $4,000, be
set aside and the income applied to the
payment of alimony.

large share of their happiness was

She got home at II 80, in time to see
Edward cleaning his rifle, the only

Why? she opened her mouth to

She expected him to laugh, and he did
laugh, and added: Well, I'm glad the

then he seemed to relapse almost i'm

Climate

No country has been so grossly
misrepresented as to climate condi-
tons as Panama. AS a matter OF fact
the climate has become one of the
greatest factors in attracting settlers
in preference to other tropical sec
lions. Panama's temperature may
be described as warm during the day
and cool at night. The country is a
long narrow strip of land with great
seas of cool water washing its shores
which with its location as to air and
water currents gives 1t a wonderful
equitable climate. The average
temperature is eighty-five degrees
and there Is very little variation.
There is an abundance of rainfall.
The seasons are fixed and invaTtable
variation In temperature and rain
fall are entirely negligible month for
month, and year for year. There are
no off years, nor crop failure from
drought, rain or frost. The weather
holds no hazard. It performs like
cloekwork, and every day OF the
year is a growing day.
