out from among them a dark, strik-

jacket-the daughter of his hostess.
"You and are going to try 1t alone

Blair swung his small sled around
to the track, assisted her to a place
forward on 1t and settled himself at
the back TO steer.

SECOND NUMBER PLEASED

The Jess Pugh Co., was the second
number on the winter lecture course
and greeted large and enthusiastic
audience at the Methodist church last
Friday night. The number had been
highly spoken Of and as result the
church was taxed to capacity. In
stead of being accompanies by a lady
assistant, he had a young gentleman
who proved as entertaining as Mr..
Pugh. The course is given under the
auspices of the Commercial Club and
this year the season tickets have sold
better than usual The committee in
charge was especially anxious to give
Audubon a good course this winter.
From the two numbers already given
it is unanimously agreed that the
course will be all that was claimed
for it,
The next number will be the Must
cal Guardsmen which comes to us on
the night OF December Goth.
