SEES HIMSELF IN SPOTLIGHT
Bachelor Is Naturally Wondering If
That Is How the Ladies' Really
Regard Him.

A Terre Haute bachelor stopped at
a friends house the other night to
get him to accompany him to a COM
munity meeting. The friend was a
"much married" man and his spouse
did not wish him to 20 TO the lecture.
So she told her husband so.
They were in the next room and her
husband was afraid the bachelor
might hear her and he did not desire
for the other man to think that he
was so henpecked. So he raised a
warning hand at his wife. But she
continued In a voice louder than ever.
II don't care If he does hear. If there's
anything that makes me tired it is
some old bachelor going around clut-
tering up the EARTH"
The bachelor was startled. What
be wants to know now is whether or
not all women regard him in the same
light.-Indianapolis News

FURTHER USE FOR RADIUM
Its Employment in Pottery is Said to
Be Productive of Results Of
Great Benefit.

Water containing radioactive com.
pounds is used as a curative agent for
certain illnesses. Mere contact with
such compounds for a sufficient length
of time will make water slightly radio
active.
Pottery is now manufactured which
has in it small percentage of radio
active material. This Is mixed with
the clay and baked In the kiln. Water
left in pottery of this nature for a
short time will become radioactive by
induction" and health-giving drink
lis made.
Such water may also be employed in
the watering of plants with good re-
suits, since the presence Of a radioae-
tive compound near the. roots Of a
plant is very helpful to its growth

For a long time Paul Pendlehaven
looked at Tony, and Tony looked back
at him. Tony was mentally plying
him with all her LOVING heart. He was
thinking over the conversation he and
his brother had had about this strange
little girl who had brought from A
thief's den the picture of his baby.
How would you like to stay here a
while with met" he asked at length.

eyes. He felt better already.
i've such lot of them all over this
wing" he went on. "You might take
care of them for me and-and other
things"
Tony was almost bursting with Joy.
She had within her the greatest gift
of God, supreme gratitude. To work
for him would be bliss indeed. She
didn't want to cry, so to keep from it,
she bit down on her red underlip. He
had said in positive tones that he
wanted her. 1t did seem good to be
wanted somewhere. What she did then
Pendlehaven remembered many a long
day. She bent over and kissed his
hand. The warm red lips thrilled him
as vibrant youth always thrills weak
ness.
"Can Gussie stay. too?" she pleaded
pre- emily "She'd be without anybody
If she didn't have me-"
YES" said Pendlehaven, as his
brother opened the door. "You can
make her nice home in my conserva-
tory"
1t took but a moment for the sick
man to explain to Doctor John his ar
rangements with Tonnibel, and the
girls heart was not the only rejoicing
one among the trio.
When Katherine Curtis came home
late that afternoon she found her
mother In towering rage, surrounded
by many strange looking boxes and
bundles.

Never Had She Seen Such strength.

as every woman does in cases where
her need is great, she cried out her
thanksgiving in his name, that best
beloved name of Philip. By this time
the two men were struggling on the
deck, and as If impelled by some un-
known force Tony staggered up the
steps.
II was Just as she reached the top
that she saw Captain MacCauley. by
one mighty effort. lift the struggling
figure Of the other man and throw him
into the lake. A sharp ejaculation fell
from her lips. Never had she seen
such strength, never had her heart
sung as il did then. She tremhled so
that when Philip swung back and
rushed toward her, she sank down at
his feet. As falls away an old gar
ment so fell away Philips anger. Ten
derby he lifted her up and spoke to
her.
Poor little girl" he whispered. But
he had no time TO add anything, nor
had Tony time to answer him.
For there on the Hoghole path look

together. was her father.

of a man being thrown into the water.
Then he came forward. and the girl

very near him now. her eyes gazing at
him wistfully. please tell me where
my mummy is"
Never mind just now" said he, his
eyes taking in her slight young figure
passionately. Here, l want to kiss
you"
He dragged her forward until her
slender, quivering body was pressed
against his. He had said he intended
TO kiss her. All the rebellion of a
primitive unedICated nature sprang
into life within Tony Devon. The
curly head darted upward for a mo-
ment. and the gray eyes blazed into
the muddy blue ones. leering down
upon her. Then. knowing no other
way TO protect herself from desecra-
tion, she set her sharp white teeth
into Reggies hand, sinking them
deep beneath his skin. A cry Of hurt
rage escaped his lips. and he flung
her from him.
You little vixen" he got out. shak-
ing his hand in panic. "You little
wicked hratl There! Now I'll teach
you TO bite me again."
He sprang at her. and Tony
screamed twice with all her lung
power. Then something happened I!
Someone grasped hold of the man
who had snatched her into his arms,
and fer what seemed an interminable
time two forms struggled together in
the small cabin. For few seconds
Tony didn't realize who Reggies as
sailant was; then with a grip at her
heart she recognized Philips white
face as with terrible strength he
dragged Reggie up the steps.
Into her terrified eyes came one
strange flashing smile Of welcome.
Her salvation man had saved her, and
