"Have You Ever Assisted Any Slaves

to Run Away From Missouri"
Kirby has undoubtedly got the law
with him. We cannot establish fraud !;
the property actually belongs to him
both mother and daughter are his
slaves"
"And how about the other girl
Eloise?"
HE has no legal hold on her; she is
free white woman. He could only
hope to overcome her resistance by
threats. The plantation is irrevocably
lost to the Beaucaires, but she pos
sesses the power to defy him because
Of her mothers property. If Kirby
marries" her, it will only be through
her consent"
He picked up his hat from the table,
and a stout stick he had brought
along with him, taking a step toward
the door.
II might as well tell you consider
this mad scheme" he paused to add
gravely, "and that it will probably fail.
There is possible chance of success,
I admit, and for that reason I permit
you to 60 ahead with it. and pledge
myself to keep the secret. I was rather
intimately associated with Beaucaire
for a number Of years, and to see his
granddaughter sold into slavery, even
II she does have a drop Of niger
blood in her veins, Is more than can
stand, without giving her chance to
get away. That is why I consent to
abet crime. and keep still about it.
But beyond that I'll not go. Do you
understand the position this internal
affair puts me into?"
Eyes. I do, Haines," and I held out
my hand to him, with fresh cordiality.
1T is uncommonly white Of you to
even go that far. I'll pledge you this
for Pete here, as we'll as myself
that II we are caught, your name shall
never be mentioned. Have you any ad-
vice to give2"
He paused uncertainty, his hand on
the latch, the freight flashing up into
his face.
"Only this" he said slowly. IF
were you I'd never attempt to 60
south. Below st. Louis boars are nu-
merous, and you would be almost GER
tain to be discovered. If Kirby chases
you-and know him well enough to
be sure he will-he will naturally take

was fully committed to the attempted
rescue Of Rene Beaucaire, and no
thought of any retreat once occurred
to me. The negro still remained seat

HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, May -, 1919.

Collecting planetary influences make
this an uncertain and trying day. ac-
cording to astrology. While Uranus.
Mercury and the Sun are in benehc
aspect, Saturn and Neptune are
strongly adverse.
1t is a sway under which bitter and
cruel judgments, which may have
been spoken or written, will be more
easily reversed than in usual cir
cumstances. Speakers and teachers
should make most of the rule.
A gradual clearing of vision on pub-
lie questions is indicated and public
men will be slowly awarded praise for
that which has brought blame to
them, the seers declare.
During this configuration there may
be uncovered state secrets and diplo-
matte motives. so that the people NAV
gain a new view of world affairs.
This is a fairly favorable day for
seeking positions or employment.
This is an especially unpropitious
government under which to have deal
ings with the aged or with those long
established in any position of power.
Elderly relatives and old men who
represent power of any sort should be
avoided. If their aid in future is de-
sired. 1t is wise to wait for a more
auspicious day when Saturn Is not
In evil place.
There is a sign that seems to fore
cast mining difficulties, including
strikes, and coal. copper and iron will
probably rise in price.
Many aged persons will die in the
next few months and among them
men and women who have gained
70 Thr- he x-tll
high places to the young.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the prognostication of travel and
change. They may meet with decep-
ton and should beware Of perils from
dre and thieves.
Children born on this day will be
original and inventive, In all proba-
bility. These subjects of Gemini are
often high-strung and inclined to be-
come excited over trifies.

For the bottom of the tray use
a board twelve or fourteen inches

vent the pail from sliding off. use
two strips of wood twelve inches
long. one inch wide and one inch

strips of the same dimensions.
Screw four casters in at the four

have found out now that he is engaged to an
other girl. What would you do?-AN UN-
HAPPY GIRL.
You may have misinterpreted this
mans friendiiness for something more.
However. if he did propose to you and
then became engaged to another girl
before breaking his engagement with
you you should be more thankful than
unhappy. A man who will break a
contract of that nature is not the type
of man one desires to marry. In either
Sc it is best to forget. Interest your
self in something else.
Good Candy.
Ny Dear Miss Lee: Kindly publish in your
column a receipt for making some kind Of
candy that you do not have to pull How can

The following recipe for candy l
have used for years and found very
popular: Two cups of granulated
sugar. one cup of sweet milk. two
squares OF chocolate and a lump of
stove and cook for about ten minutes
or longer until a. small amount of the
candy will form into a soft ball when
put in cold water Flavor with
vanilla, remove from stove and place
in cold water for fifteen or twenty
minutes; then beat until it shows it
will harden when poured into a
creased dish. This candy will be
very creamy and is excellent when
poured over marshmallows or when
nuts are added just before beating.
If you are lucky enough to have
