GRAY EYES
BY JANE OSBORN.

Madge Peckham was a teacher at
the most fashionable school in the
suburban community where the home
of the newly rich Stoneworths was
located, and, incidentally, she was the
favorite and best-beloved teacher of
twelve-year-old Vivian, who had been
sent to school because of her inabil-
ity to keep peace with the gray-eyed
Mr.. Sneed, resident tutor of the Stone
worth establishment.
Easter holidays had come and be-
cause Madge had no family to return
to during the school vacation, she had
been glad to accept the task of return
ing home with Vivian to share the
duty Of taking care of the young
Stoneworths. Mr.. and Mrs. Stone
worth had departed the day before for
southern chimes to be gone week.
Madge had dined alone with the lit
tie girls, and after intrusting them to
the care of their maid to be put to
| bed she had retraced her way to the
/ library, of which she had caught a
| glimpse before dinner.
From Vivian's few comments Madge
had formed distinct mental image
of the tutor. She fancied him lean,
| precise, pedantic and immaculate,
both in appearance and in speech. She
heard a muffled step on the heavy rug
behind her.
so you are Miss Peckham," said a
voice so melodious and magnetic, SC
unlike anything Madge had associated
with the probable Mr.. Sneed, that she
gave a perceptible start

have to see more or less OF each othel

Il am very glad to meet you, Nj

Evidently Vermont S Hughes dele
cation were well prepared to make a
demonstration for their favorite can
didate. Commenting on the scene in
the convention when the name of
Hughes was presented a Chicago
paper says: ''Nermont turned loose
the whole power of her noise ma

group of venerable and dignifed Yam
KEGS standing ON their chairs, each
man yelling at the top of his lungs
and twirIing at the same time a huge
rattle.''

The chief item of expense in main
tanning the Rhode Island highway
bridges is for repairing bridge floors
just as is the case in most states, and
it is believed by the state public
roads board that a considerable say
ing could be made by treating the
plank floors with the same kind of OF
that is spread over the roads. Two
years experience indicates thai
spreading oil over the planks not only
increase their resistance to rot but al
so their resistance to wear.

BOBBY BURNS IF WILLIAMS COMES
 TO MAKE 4 VISIT

Chief of Police Robert Burns of Williams was in the city yesterday indulging inyidious comparison be- tween lie climate of Phoenix and that or his habitat. Though Phoenix pop ulation is ten times as great as that or Williams, according to MT Burns own figures, he gently but firmly re- Jected an offer to trade towns or ar- cept quit claim deed to all of Phoe- nix in exchange for a relingushment of all the property in Williams. MT. Burns has taken q deeD interest in politics and believes that he knows as much about the game as the next one, having had considerable per- sonal experience in it. He predicts that Governor Hunt will have a walk over or a Walkaway or whatever @ig- nlfies easy going, in Coconino county But said MT Burns if the miraculous unexpected should happeA and Mr Olney should receive the democratic nomination for governor. Thomas F. Campbell might as well at once be- gin to prenare for occupancy of the pu5ernatnial chair; or. he might go to sleep or go off on a journey, with cut making other arrangements with
 reference to his campaign except to contrive to be here on January 1 or 1917 to be inaugurated.
 As to what Coconino would dc
 with the legislative ticket next No-
 remher, MT Burns declined to express | himself. But he said that whethar | the delegation from that county wouil be republicans or democrats wonld l depend entirely upon tbe character of the men nominated by the two parties

POOR ADVICE |S
 GIVEN BY YOUNG
 ATTORNEY AT LAW

A certain young attorney who recently passed the bar examination but who has as yet not attained the dignity of charging retainer every time a prospective client puts his head in the door, yesterday after noon, entertained his first client His name has been deleted. for fear that after this article is written, he will never have agsther caller.
 The client was in trouble. He owed bill of two years standing. which he Is unable to pay. He wanted to advise as to how to get out of paying the bill. and information as to wheth- CT or not, his wages could be gar- nished.
 The young attorney hemmed and haved. looked over his copious lib- rary. took down one book, annotations and all. and proceeded to read.
 He finally gave his advice. l. was in the following words.
 The. ah only thing. ah you can do. is to ah. pay the bill"
 My heavens said the client, I come in here for relief and he tells me to pay the bill. For the love of Mike give me something easy. Tell me to shoot myself. or something like that. Say' he continued you call. yourself a law yer. and can't get a man out of paying a bill"
 Well, ahem" continued the young barrister" you might go to Texas, I just came from there. but that has nothing to do with the fact. that they can't follow you Hhere. and collect it. In seven months the bill will ah, you know be outlawed. and then of course your in good"
 The client grabbed his hat. departed hurriedly vowing that all lawyers especially young ones. knew nothing and added to the bargain were in league with the people who are trying to collect bills, no matter how unjust the bill happened to be
