TTame or mino. | nave suspected you for a good many months
 Well, you've caught me with the goods" she answered defiantly. What are you going to do about itT' r. q don't know" said Lorimer. "Why did you do it? I'm paying you $50 q week. How much does Ellsworth pay?"
 Fifty" snapped Miss Ferguson And I'm to get hundred as soon as you find out and discharge me"
 Ellsworth won't pay you penny, said Lorimer. "He isn't white. What did you do it for?"
 "You call yourself white?' demanded the girl. "Well-say! How about your treatment of MT. Adams? You owe him about two hundred thousand.
 "Simply business, returned Lorimer. Adams was an impracticable man. lie couldn't have used penny more than he was getting. AS matter of fact, he struck for forty, the fool, and that was what raised my anger. If he'd asked hundred I'd have given it. Say, come now, what did you do it for? Just fifty from Ellsworth?"
 The woman thrust her jaw forward ''Tll tell you" she said. You ruined my fathers life, you kept his nose to the grindstone, you drove him into his grave through lack of the recognition which ought to have been his. My name isn't Ferguson at all-it's Adams. I'm Mfr. Adams daughter, see? And when he died in poverty I vowed to get some of that money back. Did l do it? Eh? Did I do it?"
 "We1l come to that later" said Lorimer. "Now that I've found the leak, of course shall have to stop it. You won't expect to stayf"
 Well, I should say not !" s
 "But I'll give you hundred week to get that job with Ellsworth and find out what you can for me-"
 What? Do you take me for that sort of woman? I haven't thing against Mir. Ellsworth"
 All right" said Lorimer soothingly. But If he doesn't live up to the terms of this bargain?'
 "Then you can count on me-" said the secretary flercely. But not till then. Good afternoon, Mir. Lcrimer, Adams has cost you a few thousand dollars more than If you'd been a white man."
 When she was gone Lorimer sat down at the telephone in turn. Give me 3427," he told the operator at cen tral.
 Hello! Is that you, Ellsworth? Say, that woman spy that gave those fake papers to about the fue-well. I've got tired of her. I'm sending her to you"
 "The deuce you are, Lorimer," an swered Ellsworth.
 "Yes. Cut down her wages, and give her few fake papers to betray to me. I'll keep on putting up fifty weekly"
 Say, Lorimer," said Ellsworth in annoyance, isn't this hobby of yours pretty expensive one?
 "Oh, well, I owed something to her father" said Lorimer. Besides, Ells- worth, so long as we both employ her we'll know she isn't betraying either of us to the other, and with a woman of Miss Ferguson's ability it's neces- sary to keep her out of mischief some how. I call fifty apiece cheap, don't you? So longw

Mise a Meal Occasionally.

There are those who imagine that if they do not have their three regu- lar meals day they will perish The majority of people eat too much; with them eating is habit If they miss one meal they are totally incapacitated until the next meal comes around. It Is these people who should miss meal occasionally; they should culti- vate certain amount of indifference to their meals, and the result will be that their minds will be clearer and their physical condition better.

One More Day-DOn't Forget to

Topeka charity has been resurrect-

has struck the past three days. to the
last hungry child the Topeka poor
will be fed. Life for Miss Mabel
Adams, secretary of the Confidential
Exchange, was just one phone call

of the calls gave new cases but the
givers outnumbered the needy and be-
fore 5 o'clock seventy-five families
sad been provided for. The Elks have
contracted for twenty-five families,

There remain families who are I'M
certain about their Thanksgiving din

lag, Topeka will experience a real
Thanksgiving, in which there is not
one needy person that will go hungry.

Mrs. Grant Cornish Asks Divorce, and
Other Things From Husband.

Another chapter was added to the
domestic troubles of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grant Cornish today when Mrs. Cor
nish filed suit in the district court
asking for a divorce and the COW and
chickens.
Last week the husband and wife had
trouble in their home in North Tope-
ka. After a battle of words Mrs. Cor
nish left the house and went across
the street to the home of her son.
That night Cornish slept alone in
the house and late at night heard sus-
picious sounds outside. He investi-
gated and says he saw the form of a
woman leave the place and cross the
street. A moment later he discovered
that his back porch was on fire. In
a complaint filed with the county at
torney in which he charged his wife
with setting fire to their home While
he was on the inside, asleep, he de-
scribed the plant He stated that
coal oil had been poured over the
back porch and papers piled upon 1t
then the whole set on fire. Because
the porch floor sloped the oil ran off
and the fire was a fizzle.
In her divorce petition Mrs. Cornish
charges her husband with beating her
and threatening to kill her. She wants
what property they have accumulated.

Cooperative Club Holds MONDAY
Luncheon at Elks Club.

The present seasons replacement of
cloth-tops by leather has had a gooc
deal to do with the increased cost of
shoes, w. E. Brelsford, of the Payne
Shoe company, told the Cooperative
club at their MONDAY luncheon, in
Elks hall today, in double effort to
explain the rise in shoe prices and to
furnish amusement for this was ''Brel-
ford day." During the meal, Miss
Margaret Gohlke, who has entertained
the club on previous occasions, sang.
She apparently succeeded in stimulat-
ing high degree of enthusiasm for
the informal business session which
followed. She was voted many thanks
for her contribution.
Mr.. Brelsford called attention at the
beginning of his remarks to the fact
that less than SO per cert of the leath-
er used in America is produced at
home. Foreign nations he said are
offering fabulous prices compared to
those prevalent in this country. Re-

worth nearly as much as entire COWS

E. v. King, first vice president, who
presided in the absence of President
w. o. Anderson, presented L. c. Rain,

short speech expressing his views of
married life. He passed around the
cigars.

committee announced the postpone

The proposition that members as

their machines. Those not present
