DIDN'T LET STOMACH KNOW
Simple Manner in Which Struggling
Pittsburgher Acquired a
Competence.

A Pittsburgh man, by thrift and
economy, acquired competence from
a most humble beginning, but until be
related his experience to his frieNfiE
in the bank where he did business they
were unable to discover the real secret
of his success. Here is his story, Sc
cording to the Pittsburgh Dispatch: Hes
started to- work on the South side at So
per week and was soon advanced to
SO and later to $12. When he w.Gs
marked up to $14 he got married, be-
ginning double team life in two rooms
in one of the alleys nigh to Carson
street. His boss thought so well OF
his marriage he added So more per
week TO his income. He bought small
lot in the alley, put up little house
and ere long was living free of rent.
Then he annexed a lot erected another
house and found himself a landlord
Another legacy of 81 a week was his
perity that enabled him to live with
out daily toll "Well" said the presf-
dent of the bank, "you have not told
these tellers and young fellows in the
bank the real secret of your success, as
you confided it privately to me-" and.
laughing, the man said: ooh, yes, Z
know what you mean. Well, boys. L
told you I started at So per week and.
believe me, no matter how often r
was advanced in wages, never let my
stomach know that was on any other
than So weekly allowance" This ex-
planned his comfortable bank balance.
Moral: Go thou and do likewise. Own
a home"

Made Record Trip.

Capt. Klaus Larson, in his little mos
tor boat Ferro, made a successful trip
from the foot of the cataract through
the Whirlpool rapids of Niagara tails
on September 10, 1910. Despite the
battering of the Whirlpool rapids Lar
sen went through safely; the little
boat was lost to sight most of the
time, but at Great Wave it was shot
20 feet out of the water Except the
old Maid of the Mist sent through in
1864 to avoid seizure, Larsen's is the
only engine-propelled craft to have
gone through the rapids.

from him over at the waters of the

"What?"
"Why, in romance, don't you know"
She flushed a little, but went on, feel
ing she was pleading Dell's cause
against one who was an infidel in the
faith of loving. 1T was an awful
shock to her to find out he had been
all through real engagement before.

he stood up--'that Halls absolutely

That's what Dell told me. I must
get back, or they'll miss me-"

''And don't think me an infdel. l be-
lieve, too, in love at first sight"
She ran back down the overgrown
path to the camp with his words ring
ing in her ears and a guilty load on
her conscience. But the secret of the
other campers was as safe with her as
with Wah-tonah, and when she coaxed
Dell to take long hike with her she
never betrayed the plan Stanley had
laid out. He was to bring Halbert half
way round the lake, up to the rocky
point where the pines were and leave
shim tn ere to rest just when Dell would
find her way up the narrow trail.
The two conspirators waited down
at the base of the cliff. They had
known each other now for two whole
weeks, and when Dell and Mrs. Cam
eron had marveled at the fish Beth
caught she only smiled happily. There
was too much at stake to give the Sc
cret away.
"How long shall we leave them up
there?" asked Beth, hopefully.
"Till they come down. If there had
been any trouble she'd have come
flying back the minute she saw him.
It's all right. I'll bet a cooky they get

They're coming down." said Beth.

He took her two hands in his and
forced her to turn to him.

marry me before" he said, "and here
you won't even listen to me. I'll throw
you over my shoulder and carry you
back to camp if you don't answer me.

Dell and Halbert came in sight to-

CHAPTER II.
The Return of Mary Regain.

Suddenly all conjectures concerning
Bradley were swept utterly from his
mind. Down the gilded red -carpeted
stairway that led from what the
Grand Alcazar termed its ballroom

was not the figure Clifford first
noted--a short, full bodied, ornately
dressed man, with a bald crown and
a smile of engaging amiability. Be-

stupefed.
Uncle George seemed not the least
startled by Clifford's exclamation. He
turned-and then there was surprise
enough in his voice:
"Hello--Peter Lovcman with her"
Clifford, recovered from his brief
para lysis, arose and hurried between
the tables. But tho pair had already
turned into the entrance and did not
note him. AS Clifford came into the
Bildod and bcpalmed lobby he saw
her, aided by four eager Grand Alca-
Ear fiunkeys and by LoVeman, look
ing grotesquely small grand opera
impresario in his silk hat and fur
coat, stepping into "a closed car. BY
running, Clifford could have caught
her. or by calling he could have
gained her attention. But at that
instant he remembered the essence of
their bargain, that he should make
no attempt to seek her out until she
checked him; the door c,osed upon
