Two cars of GOAL ratified serenely

rail administration dropped tnvestiga-

still struggling with fuel worries.
1t all happened Thursday when
they had found an easy and expedient
way to solve the coal shortage.
Two cars of coal on the Santa Fe
tracks were too big temptation TO
the mayor. Tho they were consigned
to private parties in Oskaloosa and
Jarbalo, he ordered them confiseated.
He put the chief of police, healthy
gat strapped around his waist, on one
end of a car to guard them
1t might have worked, had not the
Santa F'e agent been undecided what
action to take. Then he consulted his
billing. The billing said turn the fuel
over to the Leavenworth & Topeka
railway. The agent did. The ponce
chief protested but confiscation Or
ders were nothing in the life of the
switching crew. The car went to L.

The railroad agent, prior to moving
the cars, wired F. c. Fox at Topeka.

Some curious cities of the world are
told about in Leslie's Weekly. Among
them Is the remarkable town of Curva,
Bolivia,>. built entirely on a curved
mountain top. One of the most
peculiarly located towns in the world
is this one, most aptly named Curva.
It is situated high in the Bolivian
Andes and is entirely confined to the
top of hill.
In Patagonia. at the southern ex-
tremity of South America, lumber of
any kind is extremely scarce. SO the
town Of Puerto Madyrn, 1873 miles from
Buenos Aires, is constructed entirely
of tin and zinc. These are brought
down from the capital and are much
cheaper building materials than lum-
Der. The houses, roofs and walls are
built of metal; the fences also are
constructed of it, with wooden frame.
The curious town of Newcastle, Ja-
maica, is located on the side of a
hill In such a way that none of the
houses are on the same level. Even

Madeline Drisko was really the hap
piest girl on earth, and why shouldn't
she be? She had everything to be
desired, including youth. beauty and
love.
The latter had come ipto her life
only recently. and the gods had moth
ing more to bestow on her.
Madeline's home was In New York,
but she, with her brother and wild
owed mother, had gone to Honolulu
on business and pleasure trip com
bined.
She loved the beautiful islands of
Hawaii; the marvellous climate; the
sea. the sky. and the mountains. There
was the most gorgeous scenery.a She
loved the picturesque natives and the
plaintive music they played on the
ukuleles. 1t was all very wonderful to
Madeline and she was charmed with
the place.
II should love to stay here forever 7"
she exclaimed rapturodsly to her
mother.
The indulgent mother smiled but
shook her head. 1--WE can't remain
here always. This is only a memora-
Bile holiday"
Then Madeline met Hereford Lang
don.
HerefOrd's parents were from New
England, but he had been born in
Honolulu. His father had large bust
ness interests there, and Hereford was
his right-hand man.
Certainly fate had been very good
to Madeline In bringing this great love
into her life In this most romantic
and beautiful country. Her mother
and brother, though loath to have her
settled so far from New York, were de-

Madeline saw more than that. Her
heart stood still as she thought she
caught a sight of a familiar figure in
charge of the men. She had never seen
Hereford in unifOrm-Still the lieu

soldiers were soon out of sight and
Madeline, with sigh, decided her
heart had deceived her, and that her
lover was still in Hawaii and she was
long ago forgotten.

CORPS" said Tom Drisko. II have been
reading about them. They are mostly
picked men. There are several Olym-
pic champions among them, and one OF
the greatest electricians in the world
has given up an income of 100000 a
year to become private in the tank
corps. They are a splendid lot of
men. l am going to try for it myself"
The Driskos were to leave early the
next day. That same evening Made
line started from the hotel to get
magazine from the little newsstand
across the circle. 1t was Saturday
night, and the streets were crowded
with men in uniforms. In the tea
rooms and drug stores one could see
them in scores eating ice cream and
drinking soda water
isn't it funny thing that sol
der is always hungry?' remarked
young officer to another as they were
strolling around the circle.
Madeline looked up. The voice-she
had heard it before and it startled her
out of her usual poise.
Recognition was instantaneous and
all the pride and resentment were for
gotten as though they had never ex-
listed.

his handsome face aglow with sudden

forgetting his companion he took Made

quiet street. They sat on the steps
of church and poured out their
young hearts IN love and contrition,
for they had nothing to quarrel about
IN the first place.
Saying good night in the hotel par

to leave very soon for the other side.

II ever any woman had cause for d
divorce it was Edith-that is how
Edith reasoned, anyway. Tom had
been the neglectful husband, almost
from their honeymoon. And Quarrels
Well, it was almost more than she
could stand. Everything she said he
disagreed with. Everything he said
she disagreed with, although she did
not think of that part of it. She did
not like his relatives, and he hated
hers. His sister Argentine had made
the second summer of their marriage
miserable for Edith, and now Tom had
a perfect right to put up with her
brother Gerald. Gerald was a good
sort, and was a much better brother
than Tom was husband.
The last straw came when Tom had
refused utterly to publish one of Ger
AIDS stories. Tom was head of a pub
fishing house and could have easily
marketed one of Gerald's many liter
airy endeavors, and Edith was quite
sure he would have done so had Ger
aid been any one save her brother
Their quarrel had been a long and
heated one and that night Edith had
cried herself to sleep In the morning
she came down almost ready to for
give, but the first sound that greeted
her caused all the resentment to come
back into her soul. Tom was lectur-
ing Gerald scathingly.
