of a car at her door with a mani"
Look how he's helping her! Who
is he? What will Austin Clark say
when he hears?"
Robert, this thing has got to be
stopped right away"
Miss Susan Minturn looked at her
younger brother with all her habitual
determination. The prim old maid dis
liked Daisy intensely: First, because
she was stylishly dressed; second. be-
cause she was pretty; thirdly. because
she knew of her brothers hopeless
passion for her.

it my business to see that Austin

a middle-aged man? He's married, too.
as like as not. Those married ones
are usually the worst ever!"
Daisy, having been assisted to her
house, entered and watched her en-
ployer from the window as he drove
away. Her foot still panied her a
good deal. 1t had been wrenched in
the door Of the elevator as she was
leaving the office and Mr.. Wright had
considerably driven her home.
He had told her not to come to the
office for several days. In fact. he
planned to employ a public stenog-
pher. But when he began his dicta-
ton the next morning ne suddenly
realized that he could not risk the
possibility Of publicity in his CORE
spondence at such a critical hour In
the end he dismissed the girl and
called UP Daisy.

CHAPTERI 1.

Old Cadman Green knew everybody
in town. Those whom he did not
Know were not, in his opinion, worth
knowing; and his friends agreed with
him before his face. Behind his back
they voted him an amusing old bore.
But 1t was the thing to think as Cad
man Green thought. for he had the
tradition of distinction, acquired
through bluff and brass, perhaps, but
held tenaciously and acknowledged.
Green was maintaining his reputa-
ton in the same way as that in which
he had acquired it.
"You see that m in the car
riage?" he inquired. Second Mrs.
Perrevare. Hr@tfgts moder before Per-
cevale married her, and had a little
scandal all her own in the home town.
Well, she's-hello!"
This time Cadman Green contended
himself with a whistle, and, as he
whistled, most of his friends whistled
too.
William Wright with mis- pretty
stenographer!" said the old man.
The person in question, seated in
his automobile beside a decidedly pref
ty young woman, passed under the
club windows, and the car, after speed
ing a short way farther, turned off In
the direction Of a respectable but
modest suburb.
What do you think of that?" de-
manded Green. Wright and a lady
friend, and seeing her home through
the town in broad daylight! And 1
live underneath HIM"
He burst into a chuckle and slapped
his fat leg, while the others exchanged
Ismlles and mods.
Their servant told our girl that
Mrs. Wright is Internally jealous
of her husband" continued Green. Il
wonder-I wonder what she would say
If she could see that?"
He glanced about him. He had kept
up mis- reputation among his peers.
Now the news must be spread. 1t was
too good to retain. Green did not
wish Wright any harm, but he felt
that the joke was on him, and he
wanted Mrs. Green to agree with him.
By the time he reached the apart
ment house he was bursting with the
news. Dinner was ready, and ne held
it only through the soup, indulging in
the joys of anticipation until he could
bear them no longer.
II saw an interesting sight today"
he said, with an affectation OF casual
ess
What was that, Cadman?' inquired
his wife.
"Only our friend upstairs, Willie
Wright, speeding through the town in
his new auto, with his pretty stenog-
rapher. Right under our club win
dows, Lizzie, and then out toward
Dotsboro. You don't happen to
know if the woman lives in Dotsboro,

For goodness sake, Cadman, how
should J know? Do you suppose |
have time to inquire the residence OF
Mr. Wright's stenographer"
We'll, / guess it's Dotsboro all
right" said Cadman Green.
The maid, who was waiting for him
to take his arms off the table before
setting down the roast listened with
an air of judicial impassivity. The
Greens knew that their girl was a
model of discretion. and did not hest
tate to discuss anything in front of
her. And, until the meal was ended.
Margaret maintained her own reputa-
ton.
When the Greens we're ensconced in
their living DON Margaret gathered

dow. watched and waited for the elope-
ment. Gradually. too. the news per-
meated the gossipy little town.
Wright alone remained serenely in ig-
Of what was being said. All
ne knew was that his wife's headaches
were more frequent than usual, and
his business worries overshadowedl
that fact.
In two or three days her father had
promised to place a substantial

Miss Susan, watching like a cat for

that the girl did not look like the vic

Flagstaff, the tourist is afforded an
opportunity Of getting a first-hand
glimpse at the fast disappearing Red
Man. The products of these strange
people who once were "sole owners Of
all they surveyed" are sold in the
stores of Flagstaff, which is one Of
the few places in the country from
whence come genuine Navajo blankets
and other curios peculiar to the abor-
igines. ......... .....
The boy who knows experiences
only from books has not full appre-
citation Of the experiences others went
through. He has to rely on what
others tell him. So it is with Flag
staff. In order to appreciate the pos
sibilities of the town for ranchers,
farmers, business men, health seek
ers and for those who search only for
the beauties or oddities of nature, you
must come here and investigate. You
will not be disappointed either. Now
where else will you find the heart,
whole-soul welcome that you will in
Flagstaff and nowhere will you find
the beauties of nature as in the coun-
try surrounding it.

The Northern Arizona Good Roads
association is the pioneer in working
up interest for good roads and their
efforts have borne fruit. From Flag
staff to practically all of the points
of interest in this Natures Wonder
land, the trip can be made by auto
mobile and at reasonable price.
Within one hundred miles of Flagstaff
there is more to be seen in the way of
natural wonders than in any other
part of the country and all of it can
be seen by automobile.
Every year the Importance of Flag
staff as the pivotal point in Natures
Wonderland assumes additional i'm
portance. Every year sees more and
more people travelling from coast to
coast stop in Flagstaff which they
make their headquarters making side
tours to the various points Of interest
nearby. Those travelling from coast
to coast by auto or by rail lose half
of the value Of. their trip unless they
stop one or more days in Flagstaff

Beauty and grandeur predominant
on the whole trip to the Grand Can
yon, until at last the tourist reaches
that marvel when his thoughts be-
come sublime and he realizes as never
before that "God Moves in a Mystic
rious Way" But of these thoughts,
writer's and poets have written in
plentitude.
The only way to appreciate the
Grand Canyon and the multitude of
other wonders close to Flagstaff is to
see them. The written word is unable
to portray to the mind the sense, the
magnifcence, the wonders as a first
hand trip would do. You must see
Nature glory in her wonders in order
to understand.
Sidetrips from Flagstaff to MAT
ure's Art Works" are easily and mex
pensively made. Flagstaff has suffi-
cient hotels to care for the tourists
and movement already is on foot
to provide more hotel facilities. From
Flagstaff to Cataract Canyon, Oak
Creek Canyon, the Cliff Dwellings,
Little Colorado ruins, the Red Rock
country, Montezuma Castle, the Nat
ural Bridge of Arizona, Sunset Noun
tain and Lava Beds, the Moqui vii
lagos and the San Francisco Peaks,
can be made by horse or auto accord
ing to the inclination of the traveller
and at a nominal cost. The last
named wonder, the San Francisco
Peaks, are near Flagstaff and the trip
can easily be made by horse to the
timber line where riders usually dis
mount and continue the rest of the
journey on foot. Here the tired bus
mess man who seeks relaxation from
cares during June, will find the peaks
covered with snow when the sun has
dried up and blistered other climes.
Flagstaff and Coconino county is
the Paradise of autoists. Good roads
form part of the religion of Flagites
and any one desiring hearing need
only say good roads" and the people
are willing to throw away their ord
mary cares and listen. Already large
sums have been spent by the Federal
as well as the state and county gov
ernments in improving the roads in
Northern Arizona and large sums
still will be expended in making it
easier for the automobiles or horsc
and wagon to travel the highways in
Northern Arizona.

LITTLE BOY SAVES SISTER.
Battles With Mad Dog Until ne
Falls Unconscious.

Seaford, Del, April 24.-Charles
Gilbert, years old, Of Desert, fought
bravely with Il broom Thursday to
save his little sister from Il supposed
mad dog. Although bitten himself
he protected the year old child until
relief came.
During the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert, the animal ran into the house
and began biting and swapping at
everything in sight. The Is year old
hired girl, in whose charge the child
rem had been left, became frightened
and hid in closet. The dog ran into
the room, in which the children were,
the girl asleep and Charles playing
on the floor.
Selling u broom, the boy hammered
the beast over the head. He was
knocked down several times and bit
ten about the hands and legs, but
struggled to his feet and kept the
dog from leaping upon his little sis
ter.
During the struggle the parents at
rived. Grabbing an iron bar, the
father rushed upstairs and entered
the room just as the boy fell to the
floor unconscious. He killed the dog

LEGISLATION
IN VIRGINIA.

Lewis II. Machen, Director Of the
Legislative Reference Bureau OF
Virginii, has published a digest OF
recent legislation in this state. His
object is to present in Il condensed
form the affirmative work OF a gene
raj nature Of the regular session OF
the Legislature in 1914.
OF the bills which became Jaw, lS5
were decidedly special Or local, while
the remaining 279 might be consi-
dcred of more or less general APP
plication. OF the general bills, 2OS
were amondatory of existing statutes,
and the other so were in some sense
new, though some Of them have been
adopted by other States.
The amcnda.ory acts make no radi-
cal change in the existing law. The
majority, indeed, make alterations SC
slight that very careful inspection
is necessary to detect the amendment.
There is q stringent act making ii
misdcmcanor for person over The
: age of eighteen years to cause or en-
courage any child under that age tc
commit any act Of delinquency or tc
be subject to immoral surroundings
or inhuenccs.
The Gazette called attention to this
statute some time ago, and express

in every community. The example;

PLIGHT OF THE
DANBURY HATTERS.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch say:
"That the 200 members of the Dan
bury Hatters' Union will lose their
homes and bank accounts, unless ar
rangements are made within the next
month to pay the 100000 verdict rem.
dered against them and in favor Of
.. E. Loewe and Co., will cause wide
spread sympathy throughout the
country.
ssHomes and bank accounts have
been attached and attorneys for the
plaintiffs estimate that their total
value is sufficient to pay the principal
and interest of the big judgment.
"Of course, these 200 members of
the loca, union at Danpury were not
real defendants in the celebrated
boycott case. Organized labor stood
behind them and agreed to protect
them. The National Hatters' Union
and the American Federation of La

The case Of the Danbury hattrrs is
unfortunate not solely because they

evitable.
Boycotting has not been success
full in the United States. like other
exotics and it is hoped this will soon
become apparent to all and that other
ways will be adopted when disagree
ments occur between employees and
employers. The system invariably
does more harm to those who RESORT
to it than to their targets. 1t IS
veritable boomerang, as it brings
others into disputes who would otte"-
wise keep out.
Much sympathy is expressed Tor
the matters of Danbury, and it is
hoped something may turn up by
which these judgments will be met
