 It was my turn to be amazed The l handwriting on the mysterious letter 1 which had aroused first I4illians mis- giving, then her anger, had been the same as that of the anonymous clip pings which had caused me so much pain.

"I would have given a good deal to have spared you this, but, of course, having once known of the existence of this thing she gestured toward the letter in her hand as if it were a loathsome reptile she grasped-"you will have to be told the whole miserable business.

 Don't judge your husband too harshly until you give him an oppor- tunity to defend himself,' she said, with wistful note in her voice which revealed to me anew the strong, help full, wonderful friendship which I4il- 1ian had given to Dicky for so many years.
 I began to tremble violently There must be something especially damn iocr St in lott oh Lillian handed to me. 1 glanced at the letter from Dicky which I had just read and crumpled in resentment at the attitude of mind it displayed.

1 The man of the house was justly 1 indignant the other day. ,-a-. .a. Isn't that a good deal for a Wom- an to oWn?)
 We had been wondering for some time why the coffec didn't seem to be 1 as good as it should be. We had re- gently acquired perColator and na- turally expected better coffee. h. stead our product was inferior. We had tried putting in more cof- fee and then we had tried sleeping it longer, and then sleeping it not so long. And still it failed to please. The Man of the House Opens the
 Coffee Can.
 And then one morning the man of the house opened a new can of col fec for me and thereupon the right eous indignation l mentioned came 10 pass It seems that in the top of the can was a little circular notice .which I had always promptly thrown into the coal bod without examining. It said on it: This coffee is for use in the old-fashioned coffee pot. For a percolator get our percolator brand coffoe."

Stolen Car Recovered

A Ford touring car which was
stolen in st. Louis some time
about June was found and turn
ed over to its owner last week
by sheriff Hurt.
Either the stealer or the per-
son to whom he sold the car la
ter sold it to Joseph Nanneman
of Vein for $435 and Mr.. Nam
neman's check for the amount
was cashed at Moberly. When
Mr.. Nanneman wrote for license
the Secty. of State noticed that
the number of the engine was
entirely too large, in fact, twen-
ty million larger than it should
be and when the Jefferson Taxi
Co. of st. Louis missed the car
it sent the registration number
to Secty. Sullivan with the in
formation that the car had been
stolen, enabling him to guess
that the car Mr.. Nanneman
wanted a license for was per-
haps the car lost by the taxi
company. He wrote to sheriff
Hurt to investigate and it was
finally found that the car Nam
neman had bot had the same
numbers as the lost car except
the changed number making the
totals of Fords entirely too
great.
The Taxi Co. was notified. a
representative came with con-
elusive evidence that the car be-
longed to the company and it
was turned over to the represen-
tative.
Mr.. Nanneman can trace the
check and recover the amount
or land the man who sold him
the car, since the check was
cashed at a bank in Moberly and
the party getting cash undoub-
tedly known to the banker or
sufficiently vouched for.
