GUN CLUB SHOOT

There were 10 shooters facing the
traps Saturday afternoon and splendid
scores were made. Lee Moody and John
Fletcher tied on the 50-target race with
the good score of 4S out of so; each
making a long run, Fletcher making AZ
without miss, while Moody was only two
targets behind Fletcher with 40 straight
to his credit. t. K. Lee intends to at
tend the grand American handicap, so
was shooting some of his targets from

average. DR.. holland was shooting in fine
form. but had one bad inning, but landed
third place on both the 50-target race and
the 1O0 He also had a long run of 30
to his credit. Dr. Majors is very con-
sistent shot and always rolls up a cred
liable score, r. H. Baugh was out but
has baseball too much at heart this time
of the year to roll up good score. 1T
is hoped by the club members that Mr..
Ryding and Mr.. Barr are not going to be
too busy to attend the gun club, for
they are certainly missed when they fail
to show up at these shoots

THE NEGLECTED WIFE"
Chapter XIV" Desperation

White, rigid, controlling himself with
an effort, he STROBE into the broker S
office 1t was several moments before
his throbbing brain could grasp the
reinsurance of the clerk.
His stock was safe! At the last mo-
ment someone, who had refused to give
his name, had covered HIM And now
the market had turned and was advanc-
ing steadily.
In a bewildered daze, Kennedy left
the office Who could have come to his
rescue? He had many friends, but none
from whom he would have expected sucn
a sacrifice. And why had they con-
cealed their Identity? His mind beat
hopeless against this battling enigma.
At his office he was confronted with
two days accumulated mail. Hurrying
through it, he paused, transfixed at one
brief note:
TIN at Crosstown's Hotel-if you wish
to see me. Margaret"
In the first glow of JOY he did not
notice that even the signature was type
written. That it might not have been
written by Margaret did not occur to
him. He had only one thought-to go
to her at once.
In the drive to the Crosstown hotel,
for a brief moment Kennedys glowing
JOY was clouded by the thought of Mary.
suffering-that she was desolately alone.
He had written to general delivery,
but only a brief, cold note, saying that
he could not make the promise she de-
manded-and that she must decide as she
thought best. With stabbing self-re-
proach, he pictured her sobbing despair
as she read the note.
And yet, what could he do? How could
he force a love that he did not feel?
Might it not be better for them to sep
arate now than to drag on as they had
for the past year? He could never crush
out his love for Margaret-of that he
new felt sure. His life with Mary had
grown intolerable. After all. might ii
not be kinder to end it now? -
But as his car drew up before the
Crosstown hotel, all thought of his wife
was forgotten in the Intoxicating near
ness of the woman he loved. In return
for the generous tip, the hall boy took
him up without the formality of an an
nouncement. 4
At the door he paused. startled at a
mans deep voice from within Had the
boy directed him wrong? Then with a
hot flush of jealousy, he recognized the
voice-it was Norwood
Its the only way 1 can protect you,
Margaret the words came distinctly.
Let me give you my name. / will ask
nothing in return-not until you learn tc
love me-"
Goaded by a blind, flaming rage, Ken
nedy flung open the door.

at the Strand today and all week.
Down to Earth" is Fairbanks
picture in every degree; he wrote it,
directed it and with his smile and
stunts dominates every scene. Eileen
Percy is the leading lady and, as usual
enacts in a finished manner the ardu
GUS and difficult role required by the
rapid Fairbanks pace.
Bill and Ethel are the names of the
boy and girl. Bill wants Ethel to
marry him as soon as he is out of
college. but that Is Ethers coming
out year and she turns the proposal
down. Bill makes a rapid trip around
the world and winds up at his Wyom-
ing ranch. Soon thereafter Bill re-
ceives letter that Ethel had tainted
by the wayside social handicap and
was seeking recuperation at a pri-
vate sanatorium near Newport; also
that her engagement with Charley was
indefinitely postponed.
Or course, Bill catches the first train
east and motors out to the sanatorium.
He doesn't like the way 1t is run
and decides to purchase the whole lay
out and run it along Fairbanks lines
lie entices all the patients aboard his
yacht and finally lands them on a
supposedly desert island.
Just how Bill handles his ship
wrecked patients on the desert isle will
have to be seen to be thoroughly ap-
preciated and enjoyed. 1t is enough
to says that actions never lag for an
instant and that at the grand de-
nouement all the invalids are COM
pletely restored to health.
