you must arouse him."
Impossible"
"Then his chances are TUined!"
The scene was a private room in
fashionable cafe, the speakers, a
physician and Enos Dacre, a theat-
ricaI manager. Before them at
table, lying back with closed eyes in
his chair, was a handsome young
man. 1t was plainly to be seen that
he was overcome with liquor.
At the opposite side of the table
sat a threadbare, half-trampish look
ing old man. He was eating raven
ously, as though ending a long fast
The others paid little attention to
him.
Doctor" spoke Dacre, this is a
critical juncture in the affairs of my
unfortunate friend. He has made a
great success in New York in the
title role of julius Casear. He is
billed here to appear within an hour
before a select audience. He is to
be married within a week to a most
estimable young lady. To disap-
point his audience here, to have the
truth come out, means his ruin"
81 am sorry," said the doctor, ''but
all my science would not enable me
to place your friend in a presentable
plight under three or four hours"
He took the fee offered and depart

the floor in a transport of anxiety.
Finally he turned to the man who
had ceased eating and now sat back
with the complacency of a person
well fed and approaching the fact.
''How did you come to be with Mr..
Fortescue?" he asked, in a half re-

ly to his business, letting every body

visits. His house is the largest IN

To The Travelling Public.
November 18th, 1916.

November 10Th, 1916.
You are urgently requested to use
the entire road and not drive in the
same track all the time as such a pro-
ceedure will cause the road to rut, and
even though it might be only for a
small depth, water will run down in
the ruts and cause the road to deteri-
crate. A rut is very hard to repair
especially Until it gets to be three or
four inches deep.
The people should realize the fact
that they are paying for the road
themselves, Snd should try tc preserve
same because it is their property.

Commissioner of Public Roads.
