A LOST CHANCE.

Chapter As.
l had been lunching with Clara
and Laura Burbank. | was rather
tate in getting home, and was out
of breath when | got into the ele-
vator. l knew Dick wasn't in as
soon as l opened the door. As
soon as he got home he always
romped and played with Junior,
making a great noise.
Mrs. Dooly helped me out of my
dress.
"Mr. Williams is late tonight
I said.
There's a telegram, ma'am, !
almost forgot" Just then 1 heard
Dicks key in the door.
For me?" .....
II couldn't make out, ma'am,
if it. was for you or him. | didn't
open it," Had | not been anxious
her naivette would have amused
me. But a telegram--it was sell
dom we had received one.
"Dick, there's a telegram on
the living room table," l called,
then hurried in to him.
my father is very ILL.," Dick
said, handing me the message:
Father very i'll, come if you
can" 1t was signed by his sister.
l knew there was a strong bond
of affection between Dick and his
invalid father. My heart ached
for him as he tried to eat his
dinner.
"You will go. of course"
Eyes, l must, Nan. 1t will cost
me a lot. but This voice broke.
"You mustn't think of the cost.
Take that money you've made in
cotton. Well have some more
some day to use for the market"
II had forgotten that! 1t will
just about pay my expenses"
He went out and wired that he
would start the next morning.
Then I packed his bag and we
went to bed. But he tossed all
night long, wakeful. thinking, !
knew, of his father and wonder
ing if he would arrive in time.
How trivial everything else
seemed when l babe him good
bye. His sorrowful face, his at
tempt to be cheerful, nearly broke
my heart. and | tried in every
way to encourage him, saying that
his father might not be so i'll as
they thought.
II will wire If there Is any
need" he had said before he left.
I knew he meant if his father
died.
He called me from the office
and told me the firm had been
very nice to him, had told him
to stay as long as necessary, and
that his pay would go on JUS.

l wouldn't worry about money.
IF you have to use some OF
your own, Nan. Then I'll replace it
when i come back. | don't thinl;
you will have to, though, rs
probably won't be gone long"
knew from his tone that he felt
there was no hope his father
would live.
"All right, Dear. Don't worn y
about us, and don't Give up hope

The next day he wired ne.

pealed to me far more strongly
than had his mother. But my

while he was away. His father
had passed away the second day
after his arrival

VERSE OF TODAY,
DESERT EVENING.

Peace folded in Ben Ali like cloak
When evening came tiptoe from affair."
Beside the quiet we'll of rough hewn oak
damsel stopped to fill her water Jar.
The kneelng camels gravely winked and gazed
Across the dunes where fleeing day had sped;
The call to prayer, when all bowed and praised
One Allah, long had ceased; yet with bent head
Ben Ali sat without the tent alone
Waking he slept, yet slumbering he woke,
Venturing far in worlds he had not known,
Visioning many things he never spoke.
Measuring thoughts he knew not his own
Peace folded in Ben Ali like cloak.

WONDERING WHY.

Men send their autos roaring
along the midnight street, disturb
ing people snoring. destroying
slumbers sweet; with cutouts mad
ly coughing, and pistons whanging
loud, we hear them in the citing,
the foolish, fathead crowd. There
is no sense, beshrew it, in racket
ing along; ] wonder why they do
it, when they must know it's wrong.
Speed fiends, in all the papers,
read tales of death and wrecks;
because of speed fiend capers, men
carry broken necks; and to the
boneyard, daily, dead men in
hearses go, because the speed
fiends gayly refuse to travel slow.

Unknown Friends.

There are many who have used
Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrheoa
Remedy, with the best results. but
who are unknown. because they
have not written to the manufac-
turers and told them of their ex-
perience in the use of this remedy.
These people. however. are none
the less friends and 1t is to their
personal recommendations that
this preparation owes its popular

KENTUCKY TRACK.
 MEET COMES TOA| CLOSE YESTERDAY.
Jane the Great Wins Trot After Losing First Heat
 to kiI0 Watts

Lexington, Ky. october t4.-The forty-ninth annual meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders association came to a close this after noon with the 2:05 trot and the 2:O1 pace as features. Each proved a good contest, Jane the Great winning the trot after losing the first heat to Kilo Watts and San Ardo capturing the pace after finishing third in the second heat, won by Hal Mahon.
 The final heat of the meeting was marred by bad spill when Sir Koch and Senator Wilkes went down while rounding the first turn. Charles Dean. Jr., and Harry Gray were handling the retns on the two horses. Neither horses nor drivers sustained serious injuries.
 In the opening heat of the 2;05 trOt driver Childs took kllo Watts to the front and kept her there despite a determined stretch drive by Cox, who was handling Jane the Great. In the second heat Kilo Watts again went into the lead. but the Cox mare overhauled her in the stretch to win going away and won the third heat easily.
 The 2O1 pace was a desperately fought race, San Ardo went to the front at the first quarter pole in the opening heat and led all the way, winning in 201A.
 In the second heat, San Ardo again went into the lead but Hal Mahon passed the little son of San Fran cisco helf way down the stretch and Sir Koch also collared the winner of the first hAat before the field reached the wire.
 In the third San Ardo outfinished Hal Mahon by a nose, in a thrilling stretch drive.

 SCHn0L BOYS AID IN RESCUING YOUNGSTERS WHEN BUILDING BURNS
By AssocInted Press

New York, October 14.-Other school boys today helped quell a fire panic at St. Anthonys parochial school, in Greenwich Village, and carried frightened younger pupils on their backs to the street.
 The fire, starting in tho basement in theatrical costumes. sent clouds of smoke through the five-story build ing, but within five minutes after the alarm was sounded, the l400 pupils reached the street without a single injury. The fire was extinguished without material damage.
 Sisters sounded the call for fire drill when smoke first began to pour through the corridors. The upper class pupils were cool. but some of the youngsters commenced scream ing. The older boys, ranging from l0' to 14 years of age, sensing the danger, picked up the smaller chill dren and carried them pick back" to safety.
 Meanwhile, hundreds of frantic mothers rushed to the building, and police reserves were called to pre- serve order.
