they've badly spoken to me since.
What is it?"
Pauline Baker has run away with
a strange young man. Mrs. Ames
whispered,
Mrs. Bling threw up both hands
opened her mouth aud looked toward
the ceiling.
You don't rsean It'll" she gasped.
Its fact. Susan told me. Mr..
Baker doesn't know the truth yet and
she doesn't dare to tell him. She's
scared stiff. Pauline went over to
Hazelmead last week to visit Emma
Stacy against his wishes. She met the
young man at a dance. Susan got a
letter from Pauline last night making
a clean breast of the matter. They
are married and stopping at a hotel in
New York"
"My lord l should think she would
be scared stiff" said Mrs. Bling
81 think there is good reason for
the stiffness of Susan" said Mrs. Sim
gleton, the wife of the Congregational
minister. 1--WE all know that Mr.. Ba-
ker objected to these modern dances
and tl.> ~ that Pauline dressed. He
used to Say that ii was walking on the
edge of Et>c,,s'ce."
There was breath of silence in
which one could hear only a faint rus
tie like the stir of some invisible
spirit.
Mrs. Bing sighed. "He may be all
right" she said in low, calm voice.
"But the indications are not favor
able" Mrs. Singleton remarked.
The gossip ceased abruptly, for the
girls were coming from the palm
room.
The next morning Mrs. Bing went
to see Susan Baker to offer sympathy
and helping hand. Mamie Bing was,
after all, good-hearted woman. By
this time, Mr.. Baker had been told.
He had kicked hole in the long look
ing-glass in Pauline's bedroom and
flung a pot of rouge through the win
dow and scattered talcum powder all
over the place and torn new silk
gown into rags and burned it in the
kitchen stove and left the house slam
ming the door behind him. Susan had
gone to bed and he had probably gone
to the club or somewhere. Perhaps
he would commit suicide. OF all this,
it is enough to say that for some hours
there was abundant occupation for the
tender sympathies of Mrs ]. Patterson
Bling Before she left, Mr.. Baker had
returned for luncheon and seemed
to be quite calm and self-possessed
when he greeted her in the hall below
stairs.
On entering her home, about one
o'clock, Mrs. Bing received a letter
from the hand of Martha.
Phyllis told me to give you this as
soon as you returned" said the girl.
"What does this mean?" Mrs. Bling
whispered to herself, as she tore open
the envelope.
Her face grew pale and her hands
trembled as she read the letter.

the influenza with no fuel in her
house.

"Why, of course you are" the coin
answered. "Thats the reason I'm

than the heart of its owner. Why
don't you take me out of here and
give me a chance to move around"
Things that would not say word

herd.

Indeed it was the tin soldier, who
stood on his little shelf looking out
of the window, who first reminded
Bob of the loneliness and discomfort
of the coin. AS a rule whenever the
conscience of the boy was touched
Mr. Bloggs had something to say.
It was late in February and every
one was complaining of the cold. Even
the oldest inhabitants of Bingville
could not recall so severe a winter.
Many families were short of fuel. The
homes of the working folk were in
sufficiently heated. Money in the bank
had given them sense of security.
They could not believe that its magic
power would fail to bring them what
they needed. So they had been care
less of their allowance of wood and
coal There were days when they
had none and could get none at the
yard. Some men with hundreds of
dollars i'm the bank went out into the
country at night and stole rails off
the farmers fences. The homes of
these unfortunate people were raw
aged by influenza and many died.
Prices at the stores mounted higher.
Most of the gardens had been lying
idle. The farmers had found it hard

The spirit of he old, dead days

with a kindly dignity. 1t had ever
been the voice OF Justice, tempered
with Mercy-the most feared and re-
spected voice in the upper counties
His grave, smo0th-shaven face, his
kindly gray eyes, his noble brow with
its crown of white hair were fitting
accessories of the throne of Justice
and Mercy.
"I'll go this afternoon. Thank you,
judge!" said Baker, as he left the
Office.
Pauline had announced in her letter
that her husbands name was Herbert
Middleton. Mi. Baker sent telegram
. to Pauline to apprise her of his arrival
In the morning. 1t was fatherly
message of love and goodwill. AT the
hotel In New York, Mr.. Baker learned
that Mr.. and Mrs. Middleton had
checked out the day before. No
body could tell him where they
had gone. One of the men at
the porters desk told OF putting
them in taxlcab with their grips
and steamer trunk soon after lunch
con. He didn't know where they went.
Mr.. Bakers telegram was there I'M
opened. He called at every hotel desk
in the city, but he could get no trace
of them. He telephoned to Mrs. Baker.
She had heard nothing from Pauline.
In despair, he went to the police de-
partment and told his story to the
chief.
"It looks as If there was something
crooked about it." said the chief.

NEW CAR NEEDS
CAREFUL NURSING
Life of Car Depends Much on
Early Attention.
Many Things Are Necessary to Be
Done in First 1000 MiIes-Proper
GreasIng and Adjustment Of
Nuts Important.

To maintains car In good running
order so that it will give long service
at minimum expense means that It
must be given systematical attention,
especially during early life Of the car.
There are many things to do, the most
necessary of which are the following /:
Tighten all nuts and bolts after the
first hundred miles Of travel; drain
oil from %crankcase and replace with
fresh oil after first 500 miles; after
1000 miles drain oil again, pour in
about a quart of fresh oil, run the en-
CINE a few seconds and again drain,
then remove oil pan and clean with
kerosene, replacing after cleaning and
refill with correct amount of fresh
oil. Travel no faster than 25 miles
per hour the first 1000 miles, as engine
is stiff and bearings must be worn in
slowly otherwise a noisy engine will
result. Watch oil and gasoline gauges
carefully for any defect In systems
check up on valve, timer and carbure-
tor adjustments frequently, always
keeping the leanest possible carburetor
mixture; jack up wheels and test for
lOoseness by shaking. and IL there Is
any play readjust the bearings; use
good oil keep tires fully inflated don't
ace the engine when the car is stand
ing; keep cooling system filled with
water and see II water Is circulating;
II not, examine pump and hose on
nections to radiator, and when clean
ing the car, which should not be done
frequently until the varnish has hard
ened, do not use a strong stream Of
water and do not rub away dust with
a cloth. Washing with a slow stream
of water Is the best.

DENVER LIVE STOCK.
GattIe

with a comparatively small supply of
stock on hand. including nothing that
particularly attracted buyers, trading
on the cattle market was of a slow and
draggy trend with a weakened under
tone apparent. Most dealers were re-
porting an exchange of stock at steady
figures, but the movement was slow
and some sales showed a slight dis
count from the level of the two pre-
ceding days.
All buyers seemed TO be wanting
