MORE STREET LIGHTS

The City Council held its regu-
lar meeting last Monday evening,
with every member present.
Many matters of civic interest
were considered among them the
adoption of standard light of
200 candle-power with improved
reflector, for all streets. This
will give better lights for resi-
deace streets. Mr.. Brown of the
Truckee River General Electric
Company, submitted a PROPOSE
ton to install these lights at the
on,pany's expense.

Constipation.

Most laxatives and carthartics
afford only temporary relief and
should be used only for that
purpose. When you want perma-
nent relief take Chamberlain's
Tablets and be careful to observe
the directions with each package.
These tablets not only move the
bowels, but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.

WAGES FOR PROFITS
Grave Error That Is Made by Most
People Who Are Working
for Salary.

When our wage-earners and salaried
people begin to learn that savings are
profits and that the process of accumu-
lating savings is substantially the same
as getting profits out of business. we
shall be on the way to becoming
thrifty people.
But very few wage and salary earn
ers know this.
Their mental process, to the very
limited extent that their minds enter
into the matter at all. is to regard the
pay check as profits, which is, of
course, very fundamental mistake.
In the business of wage-earning the
pay check is no more profits than is the
cash that comes over the counter of
store or through the receiving teller's
window at bank.
A wage-earner's pay check is the
gross receipts. and his profits, if there
be any, are found by deducting from
these gross receipts whatever it costs
TO keep the wage-earner going.
In business it is well understood that
there are Just two ways TO increase
profits: either more money must come
in over the counter, or else less must
be paid out in keeping up the business.
So with the wage-earner If he fails
to save he must fit himself for better
job or else lower his standard of liy-
ing; there is no other way.-Carl Mar
shah in the Thrift Magazine.

The Roulette Wheel.

The building stood far back be-
meath the overhanging ledge ana
seemed to be secured against the liz
ing rock. 1t was evident that there
was no other approach except the tun-
mel through which l had come, for all
around the land that turbulent whirl-
pool raved where the two cataracts
contended for the mastery of the ws-
tiers.
1t was almost dark nov and grow
ing bitterly cold. / felt in my pocket
for my pistol and loaded 1t with the
two cartridges that alone remained of
the lot i had brought with me. Then
l advanced stealthily until l stood be-
meath the cataract; and here found
the spray no longer drenched me. /
came upon a door in the dark wing
and, turning the handle noiselessly,
found myself inside the chateau. And
at once my ears were filled with yells
and coarse laughter in mems and
women's voices.
AS my eyes became accustomed to
my surroundings perceived that l
was standing near the foot of an I'M
carpeted wooden stairway. There was

CHAPTER x-Continued.

M. Duchaine has been recluse for
many years" he said, land of late his
mind has become affected. It is said
that he was implicated in the. troubles
of 1867, and that, fearing arrest. he
fled here and built this chateau In this
desOlate region, where he would be
safe from pursuit. Solitude has made
hermit of him and taken him out of
touch with the world of today.
81 believe that Leroux has discov-
cred coal on his property, and by
threatening him with arrest has
gained a complete ascendency over
the weak-minded old man. However,
the fact remains that his daughter
was married by me to NJ. d'Epernay
some ten or twelve days ago at the
chateau.
my duties took me to Quebec.
There l learned that Nine. d'Epernay
had fled on the night of her marriage,
and that her husband was in pursuit
of her Again it was told me that she
was living at the Chateau Frontenac
with another man. 1t was not for me
to question whether she loved her hus-
band but to do my duty.
II appealed to you. You refused to
listen to my appeal. You threatened
me, monsieur. And you denied my
priesthood. 1 shall not help you in
the pursuit of her, NJ. Hewlett, for you
are actuated solely by love for the
wife of another man. Is that not so?'
he ended, bending over me with a pen
etrating look In his blue eyes.
Eyes. it is so. \ But 1 shall go to
the chateau" l answered.
Pere Antoine rose up.
"You will find food here" he said,
"and if you wish to take exercise
there are snOwshOes. Try to find the
chateau-do what you please; but re-
member that if you lose your way /
shall not be here to save you. / shall
return from my mission in a week and
be ready to conduct you to st. Boni-
face. And now, monsieur, since we
understand each other. shall prepare
the supper"
swallowed few mouthfuls of food
and fell asleep soon afterward. In
the morning when l awoke the cabin
was empty.
/ spent the next two days recover
ing my strength, and on the third
found myself able TO leave the hut for
short tramp.
/ found one of the pistols in the hut,
and In the pocket of my fur coat were
couple of cartridges which 1 had
overlooked. The rest had fired away
In my delirium.
The cabin was situated in a valley,
around which high hills clustered.

dawn, or earlier, and work around
these mountains, a circuit of perhaps
| twenty miles, approaching the chateau
by the edge of the lake. l concluded
that there must exist a ridge of mar
row beach between the whirlpool and
the castle, though it was invisible
! from above, and that the entrance
would disclose itself to me in the
course of my journey.
Although the sun was well above
the horizon when / awoke / started
out on the fourth morning eager to
achieve the entrance TO the chateau.
First l plodded back to the two
mountains which guarded the ap-
proach to the valley, then worked
| round along the flank of the ridge of
peaks searching for an entrance. The
| further went, however, the higher
and more precipitous became the
mountains.
There was no visible entrance to
that mountain lake on any side. and
to descend that sheer, ice-coated preci-
pice was an impossibility.

and dispirited.

ground my teeth and swore that

This was to be my last night in the
cabin. 1 could not return, not though
1 were perishing in the SHOWS.
Happily my eyes were now entirely
well, and my hands, though chapped
and roughened from the frostbites,
had suffered no permanent injury. So
l started out with grim resolution on
the sixth morning, when the dawn was
only a red streak on the horizon and
the stars still lit my way.
AS I stood, rather weary. balancing
myself upon my snowshoes, heard a
VOLTS howl quite near to me. Raising
my head l saw no wolf but an Eskimo

FAIRY TALE IA
Mr.. AND MRS. PEACOCK.
6y nary Graham = Bonner 8 inner &

'We're creatures Of beauty. of great
and wondrous beauty" said Mr.. Pea
cock, as he spread his long blue-feath-
cred tail out wide.
His neck was blue as were the feath-
ers on his head. His suit was of gray
ish green with blue trimmings. But
there were many other colors which
seemed to shine from him in the sun
light.
Sometimes I've held my tail out
wide for a long, long time" continued
Mr.. Peacock, land so has Mrs. Pea
cock, and the people have stared as
if they could never see enough of our
glory and beauty.
''They have gathered around and
they have said,
"'Ah,' and Oh and How wonder
full
"Yes, those are the things they say
TO peacocks and about peacocks.
We're like beautiful pictures, only we
are nicer than beautiful pictures for
we're real, real and live and we will
walk around here and give them pleas
ure if they wish.
"Ah, if they gave prizes for beauty,
how everyone would be rushing to us
to hand us the prizes. How lonely
then would poor creatures like the
wart hog and the tapir and the gnu be
feeling.
For no one would run to them with
prizes for beauty, no one indeed"
"No one, indeed" said Mrs. Peacock.
ooh, WELL" continued Mr.. Peacock,
''they may do very well for their family
name-nothing is expected of them in
the way of beauty, but we must al
ways be beautiful and glorious for we
have always been famous for it."
"We will always be beautiful and
glorious" said Mrs. Peacock.
Feathers are all that count, feet
mean nothing, except mere things to
walk upon, or walk with" said Mr..
Peacock, for his feet and Mrs. Pea
cocks feet were very ugly, as we all
know.
All peacocks have hideous feet
Feathers are all that count" said
Mrs. Peacock. Feet are useful things
we all must have-eXcept snakes and
creatures which crawl. But let us not
talk of feet. Let us talk of feathers"
So Mr.. and Mrs. Peacock walked
around admiring their own great
beauty.
A short time after this talk, Mrs.
Peacock said to Mr.. Peacock.
"Aty dear, our young daughter, Sal
ly Peacock. should be studying all the
