Dozy did not speak again until they
were inside his house. When he had
turned on the light in the dining-room,
he turned to close the door; and then, for
the first time, he saw Browns face dis
tinctly. 1t was drawn and gray.

warm smile: s..

"You're so kind, sehora,' Alba began
gratefully; but Mrs. Gil stopped her
with: "You're not to talk-not world"
Then she stole out of the ROOM
Alba lay perfectly still, as she had been
hidden. How kind the sonora was to her!
Her caressing hands had taken Alba
back to her childhood. Oh, yes, the
sonora was really fond of her. She had
always known that. She could recall a
dozen small incidents in her childhood
showing the affection felt for her by the
: pale, silent girl who had sat all day in her
step-father's study, writing, writing.
Sometimes, when he was away, the writ
ing had stopped and Sehorita Grassi had
taken her on her lap and told her stories.
Returning to Mexico after the long stay
in England, she had heard that Blanca
'Grassi had married and gone to live in
New York, and she had supposed that
they had passed out of each others lives
forever. Then last night the sonora had
heard of the murder, and had hurried to
the convent. rtg ..
TT was midnight. The class dinner was
over 1t was not until Dozy had left
his friends and started eastward along his
own street that the exciting events of the
early evening returned to his mind.
He had just arrived at Columbus Ave-
nue., which he had to cross to reach the
block in, which he lived, when a trolley
car slowed down to let off passenger.
Halted by it, he glanced idly at the man
who stood on the platform waiting to
descend, and at sight of his face, thrown
into distinct view by the bright lights of
the car, Dozy stepped back in startled
surprise. The next moment the man
jumped down, and the car started again.
Dozy held his breath The man-who
appeared not to have noticed him-at
once turned his back and waited for the
car to move off. Then he crossed the
street and entered the block in which
stood the Welles-Hewitt house.
Dozy followed. His heart was beating
wildly. He passed his house, hardly aware
of it as he went by. He had no idea
what he meant to d..
The Welles-Hewitt house stood near the
corner. Behind the white shades of the
lower windows light was burning Some
one was there-the police, of course.
They were getting very near now. The
man was almost there. Now he was there.
But he did not stop, though he turned
and looked back at the lighted windows
as he passed. And, seeing that he had
passed, the boy drew long, relieved
breath. Then he stopped with a gasp.
The man was going to Mrs. Malones s!
He mounted the stoop of the dark house
with boyish jog, one hand feeling in a
trouser pocket for something. A key?
The hand reached for the door.
"Brown!' he whispered.
The man made a startled movement.
Then, as Dozy started up the steps to him,
he started down.
"Oh, it's vOu!' he exclaimed II couldn't

PROBLEM SOLVED AT ONCE
No Need for Boss to Devote Much Thought to the Plea Presented
 by Old Employee.

The conversation in the lobby of a Washington hotel, the other eve- ming, turned to the solution of diff cult problems, when this little anec- dote was recalled by Congressman James R. Mann of Illinois:
 One afternoon an esteemed citi- zen, who was employed in.a big mer- camille house, sought his way to the private office, and gently bulged into the presence of the boss.
 "Mr. Smith," said the employee, in response to the interrogative look of the other, ''I came to speak to you about my salary"
 "Your salaryp' quickly interposed the boss. "What is the matter with your salary?"
 'It is just this way, MT. Smith, :" the employee started to explain. q cannot save half as much on what you are giving me today as I did on what you gave me five years ago, and I thought"

DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE.

Twenty thousand dollars day are spent in New York for champagne. This is not a guess but a carefully prepared estimate based on figures furnished by the big liquor and im- porting houses. Before the Civil war gentlemen served carefully pre- served and personally cared-for wines, but with the mad rush for precedence that followed the Civil war and the forced nomadic propen- sities of succeeding generations, it became impossible to keep wine for ten or twenty years before being served. That is the real reason why champagne is the fashionable drink today.

Card of Thanks

To the many friends who help ed to roll up the large majority for me in the mayors race in the town election Tuesday, 1 extend sincere thanks. To those who voted for my honorable opponent I feel no i'll will whatever and l hope that we will ALL unite and pull for a bigger and better Me- Crory.
 In assuming the head of the government of our little city do so realizing that for the coming administration the main issue to face is the matter of revenue as the city is several hundred dol lars in debt with the taxes to be received in July included.
 The present administration is to be complimented upon the many permanent improvements made and the fact that the city is in debt is no discreditable re- fection upon it's work for it has accomplished much good with the money expended.
 It shall be our purpose to en- courage the paving of Edmunds Avenue from the Iron Mountain Ky. to MT. Wherry's residence if possible and we are glad to state that several property owners have already agreed to do their part in this work. We shall also encourage and work for the widening of our streets which IS greatly needed, and the building of more concrete walks. To do this will of course cause some to censure and criticise, but we are taking the mayors office with this expectation and do not ex- pect to let such enter into the progressive work which we think is needed done.
 We believe the council can greatly increase the revenues of the town by changing some of it's laws together with a few new additions. We hope to have the hearty cooperation of the entire council and every citizen of the

in the United States district court at

the offense is fine not exceeding

Some devoted patrons of the North

rude shock when, at the expiration of
their usual 20 days, they called for
their little red slips which would en-
able them to import fresh supply of
whisky. Chief of Police McCurdy had
provided the county auditor with the
names of about $50 persons who, dur

drunkenness or bootlegging, and the
auditor decided that under the law
these persons had forfeited their
rights to permits.
