CHAPTER XXI.

Bibbs was the only Sheridan to sleep
soundly through the night and to wake
at dawn with light heart His cheer.
fulness was vaguely diminished by the
troublous state Of affairs in his family.
Ribbs was a sympathetic person, cas-,
lily touched, but he was indeed living
in dream and all things outside OF
it We're yelled and remote-for that is
the way of youth in dream. And
Bibbs, who had never before been of
any age, either old or young, had come
to his youth at last.
He went whistling from the house
before even his father had come up
stairs. There was fog outdoors, sat.
urated with fine powder Of SCOT, and
though Bibbs noticed absently the dim
shape of an automobile at the curb
before Roscoe's house, he did not rec.
ognize it as Doctor Gurney's but went
cheerily on his way through the dingy
mist And when he was once more In
stalled beside his faithful zinc eater
he whistled and sang to it, as other
workmen did to their own machines
sometimes, when things went we'll.
His comrades in the shop glanced at
him amusedly now and then. They
liked him, and he ate his lunch at noon
with group Of socialists who ap'
proved of his ideas and talked Of elect.
ing him to their association.
The short days of the year had come
and it was dark before the whistles
blew. When the signal came, Bibbs
went to his Office, where he Invested
himself Of his overalls-his single di.
vergence from the routine of his fel
low workmen-and after that he usef
soap. and water copiously. This, was
his transformation scene: he passed
into the office rather frail young
working man noticeably begrimed, anG
passed out of it to the pavement

try. fastidious to the point Of elegance
The sidewalk was crowded with thu
bearers of dinner pals, men and boys
and women and girls. from the work
rooms that closed at. five. Many hur
ried and some loitered; they went botl
east and west. jostling one another

was forced to 60 slowly.
Coming toward him, as, slowly.
through the crowd, tall girl caught
sight Of his long, thin figure and stood
still until he had almost passed her,
for in the thick crowd and the thicker
gloom he did not recognize her, though
his shoulder actually touched hers. He
would have gone by, but she laughed
delightedly, and he stopped short,
startled. Two boys, one chasing the
other, swept between them, and Bibbs
stood still, peering about him in deep
perplexity. She leaned toward him.

"Good heavens!' cried Bibbs. Il

When you walk to church with a friCnd

What an adorable thing It. Is to dis.

Of vanity that gives you one thing more

she will perhaps walk to church with you
without her furs, and she will blush and

her why she does not wear them. YOU

She looks beautiful In her furs; you love

comprehend that they conceal the laEeli.

BUSINESS CEMTERS REACHED BY WATER
 IN CASE OF STRIKE

Travellers having imperative 0usi- ness in any of the cities of the Great Lake district, or on the At- lantic coast can reach their destin- ltion by water, in place of using .he railroads if the great strike should be put into effect, according to information given out this morn ing. The Grand Trunk and Cana dian Pacific railroad lines reach Chi cago, from which point lake steam CTS can be secured for all points on the lakes. including Detroit. Gle veland Toledo and Buffalo. The rail lines also reach Halifax and st.. Johns, in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. where water connec- tions can be made with all points on the Atlantic seaboard.
 By making the trip over these routes, it forces the traveller to cover several hundred miles not necessary when direct rail connec- ton is made, and makes the trip cost considerable more. tut where business makes it imperative that the trip be taken it can be done.

Mr.. Press Klnard could go back
a good many years. We just throw
out this suggestion as "a good way TO
preserve some local history of the
community as we'll as of the church.
The address by Rev. S. P. Koon was
fitting and appropriate to the occasion
He stressed the value and response
.bility of long life and the Importance
os the young to honor and respect the
aged. He told how the great battles
0: the European war were being la'.
by the old men and gave the young
people some wholesome admonitions
as to their duties and obligations to
the old. II was our purpose to print
a synopsis of this excellent sermon
but we find it impossible to get it se-
up.
In the afternoon the address was
made by Rev. E. F. K. Roof. He spoke
we'll of the small things of life and
how they affected our own lives.
The day was a very pleasant one
and enjoyed by the large congrega-
tion present. The dinner was boun-
tiful and though the crowd was large
the multitude was fed.

CORPUS CHRISTI
SUFFERS LITTLE
laredo and Tent City Surrounding
it Swept by Aftermath d..
Disturbance,

First communication with Corpus
Christi, Texas, where Fridays tropical
storm was believed to- have been felt
hardest, showed on, Saturday after
noon that no great damage had been
done to the city and that there were
no fatalities there. Portions of that
city, notably the section populated by
summer visitors, were under three
feet of water yesterday.
Greatest property damage was IN
that quarter where Corpus Christi
Beach hotel, a large summer hotel,
was considerably shaken.
Some cottages and pleasure pier
were demolished.
The business section of Corpus
Christi was not damaged beyond the
breaking of plate glass windows.
Interest has centered on the effect
OF the storm at Port Aransas and
Aransas Pass, in the absence of def
mite word from those there. It was
pointed out as probable that these
points might have felt the storm mora
severely than Corpus Christi.
1t developed Saturday night when
further information was obtained that
the fatalities reported during the day
at Rockport had been confused with
the drowning of ten men of the crew
o. the steamer Pilot Boy, which sank
off Aransas Pass Friday afternoon.
these were the only deaths from the
storm.
Restored communication with La
redo, Texas, showed that place and
the military camps surrounding it to
have felt heavy aftermath OF the
storm which hit the coast. The ga-2
ragged there for several hours FRIDAY
n.ght and early Saturday morning bu:

portions of the city to depth of two
