have such kind relations-in-law: as X rule they are rather horrid, don't yoM think?" .n
 s1've never been married-so I can't judge" said David. He sent the car forward triac more quick ly: through the night had sounded tho distant whistle of the incoming train. 5,gt. ta
 ''I think we shall just catch it," he said smoothly, The train was at the platform when they left the car outside the station: there were. only a few seconds in which to say. goodbye. s
 Dora swallowed her chagrin as best she could; her pretty face was wreathed in smiles as she leaned from the carriage window.
 Tt has been so nice to see you aEain; you won't forget lis next time you come to London, David?"
 "I certainly will not. Tell Monty I will look him up,"
 She pouted.
 That means the office"
 Not at all; will make special point of calling to see you"
 But the words were impartial, in spite Of the accompanying smile; the | last glimpse she had of him was his grave face, from which all con- sciousness of her was already fading. CHAPTER XxXIv.
 A Change of Color
 She sat back in her corner Of the empty carriage frowningly. After all, she almost regretted having paid the visit at all; Red Grange had seemed even more alluring than she had previously remembered it, and David less susceptible to her charms.
 Why was he so different from all the other men of her acquaintance? she asked herself angrily. She could enumerate half a dozen in as many seconds who would have given any thing for the chance Of a possibly heightened tete-a-tete with her; but David had merely driven the car faster to get rid of her. .
 But David's very indifference lent a spur to her hitherto only half formed resolve. She would marry his; she would marry him in spite of everything. and be mistress of the Red Grange.
 And as for that piale-fsced widow Of Nigels-Dora's face hardened as she recalled the friendly way in which she and David had entered the drawiDg-room that afternoon, fresh from their drive.
 Monty had been right when he said that from what he knew of the girl she would lose no opportunity to en- trench herself at the Red Grange; and she had certainly done a lot dur ing the short time of her stay there.
 "Scheming little nobody!" was the thought in Dora's mind. She tried to remember what else Monty had said about her beside the fact that she was common: she knit her brows. puzzling her brain to re- member. There was something else. she was sure. something-oh, yes. he had , called her pretty. in sort of way" and commented on the fact that she had red-brown hair.
 That was 50 like q man, to make such a mistakei Red-brown hair, in- deedl Why. # was the most ordi- nary mouse-coiored shade.
 And her clothesi Dora indulged in q little smile as she remembered Mary's simple black frock: home made, she had designated it from the first. Whatever on earth could Nigel have seen in her? Nigel, who ai- ways so admired a smart woman. (continued in Our Next Issue)

Americans Printed First
Postage Stamps for King

The first British postage stamps were
made at 90 Fleet street. London, over
eighty years ago.
About 1919 two men came over from
the United States and started print
ing and engraving business which to
this day is known as Perkins, Bacon
& Co., Ltd. They were Jacob Perkins,
an inventor, and Gideon Fairman, an
engraver. and with them were asso-
ciated the two sons Of James Heath,
R A
The famous Perkins process Of en-
craving on steel was applied and when
millions of postage stamps were first
required the Perkins method was
adopted and proved to be just what
was wanted.
Credit for the invention of the adj
hesive postage stamp has been claimed

Pyramids of Egypt

The Pyramids of Egypt, some 70 ID
number, date from the period between
the fourth and twelfth dynasties and
were built as tombs for the kings. Tho
most important group is at Gizeh
which includes the great Pyramid, the
tomb of Cheops. Its perpendicular
height is 451 feet and its base length
is $50 feet. The Pyramids are built Of
stone, the material for which was
taken from the hills on the opposite
bank of the Nile.

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
nervous disorders are very COM
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, a drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
system. 1t has tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. 1t is abb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try a cup Of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.

house here, the final chapter is being
written now.
The idol of hundreds of thousands
of boys of yesterday is dying!
Thomas C. Harbaugh, whom the
youth of the last generation knew
only as Cap Collier" dime novel hero,
lies in his bed a hopeless paralytic.
Death, the doctors say, is mat
ter of just a few days-a few weeks
at the most.
But Cap Collier" is ready.
Defends Dime Novels.
"There is nothing for me to live
for" he says.
Il have always lived religious
life, so l am ready for the hereafter.
l have no idea what it is like, but
| am not afreid."
THE old adventure stories were
not very good, l admit" he continued,
after pause for breath. "But they
were better than the silly love stories
the boys of today are reading.
"The life of the boys of yesterday
was far more picturesque than the
life of the boys today.
Then we read adventure and we
lived adventure. Today our boys
dash away their time reading thin
love stories. And they miss the old
adventure entirely. The experiences
they do meet are nothing compared
with the hustling adventures in the
lives of the boys of the past
Gap Collier" paused. A fresh
breath and he went on:
Il have had only one adventure
in my whole life. That was trip
from Casstown, Ohio, my old home, to
New Orleans.
Il did not meet any bandits nor
savages. Yet / was able to use my
experiences as q basis for many of
the weird tales in which Cap Collier
took part"
Outside of trip to Philadelphia,
that was about the only time cap
Collier" ever strayed away from his
native Casstown. He never was in
the far west. Nor was he in Europe.
Yet they furnished the background
for most of his tales.

Hectic Days in Lii or N York
Where Did the Big Town Get It's Reputation as a
Tightwad, Anyway?

I perfumer's shop where free samples
may be had any day-rthe best per
| fume too.
Away downtown there is an old
fashioned eating place. Its clientele
does not change much in the course
of year. Every THANKSGIVING Day,
the hotel serves dinner free of charge
to its patrons. Even though you are
not one of the regular customers, pay
ment for your dinner is refused with
in certain hours.
Much farther downtown there is
another eating place, run by two wo-
men-home-like because it caters ex-
clusively to the business section. You
go into the restaurant, select your
dishes in cafeteria style, eat your
meal-and reckon up the cost of it
from the menus list of prices. Then
you saunter over to the cashier and
pay her what you like. 1t happens
in 90 cases out of 100 that you pay
honestly; Mt least, the proprietors fig
ure that this is so. This, to be sure,
is not a free meal-but the two
proprietors go out into the highways
and biways and pick out each day
two people who look as if they needed
loou. LhSSO Two peopiS SuS tAcC ohu

If moreover you arrive in this town
with nothing much but bewildered
expression there are representatives of
the Travellers Aid who meet you at
the train gates and give you both
directions and advice-money, too, if
need be.
And in case you find yourself ut
terly down and out, there's place
maintained by a combination of char
liable organizations. 1t is called the
Joint Application Bureau. Any day
or night--you may obtain from the
bureau free lodging. free meals, free
clothes, free kilograms to your rela-
tives and job.
The Free Wood" sign, therefore
is quite in accord with the childlike
trustfulness and open handed welcome
to the Gothamite. Where, any way,
did he get such reputation as

WANTED In HOUSTON
Two Men Arrested Here Remanded to
Jail Without Bond.

f. E. "Curly" Martin, one of the
alleged bandits arrested here in con
nection with gas station robberies is
wanted in Houston, Tex.
Captain Street of the detective de.
partment Saturday received a war.
rant for Martins arrest on a robbery
charge at Houston. Unless the pris-
oner is released here on bail the war
rant will not be served.
Martin and Frank s. Gordon were
transferred to the Bexar county Jail
early Saturday morning, after having
waived a preliminary hearing in
Justice Fisk's court and were re-
manded to Jail without bail. The
charges filed against the two men
will be submitted TO the grand jury.
Eugene Gordon, 15-year-old brother
Of the elder Gordon charged as an
accessory in the hold-up at the Main
Myrtle Pharmacy and the DeShea-
Crosby Grocery store burglary, has
been released on>his own recognizance.
He was transferred to the juvenile
officials after he made a written con-
fession in which he says he accom-
panied the others on the two robberies
mentioned.
Martin and Gordon had obtained
no counsel early Saturday morning.
Seven affidavits are filed against
each of them, growing out of the six
jobs they are alleged to have executed.
Growing out of the grocery store
burglary two charges. one for bur-
glary and the other theft over $50,
were filed.

New York, April 12.-They are
tearing down the shuttle of the L
line which used to function between
Times Square and Grand Central sta
ton. And incidentally, they are af-
fording another example of the naive
for which New Workers are famous.
Above the half dismantled structure
is n sign. 1t is a big sign: you can
easily read it even from a whizzing
taxi. "Free wood upstairs" is what
it says, what it means is that by
climbing 'one flight Of l. steps, you
may have free of charge all the wood
you can carry away. There is usual
ly a long and jostling line on those
steps. Some of the people are rather
well dressed: for YOU may have a
wood-burning fireplace in the village,
for example, and by the time you have
paid the rent you may be without the
wood to burn in it,
Lots of Things Free.
How thoughtful of the dismantling
company-this is your first reaction.
And your reaction, is, to degree,
correct. The demolitionists certainly
have the needy in mind. But this
gesture of generosity is a gesture of
canny economy likewise. Giving
wood away saves the price of cart
age.
1t is surprising, by the bye, to see
how much you can get absolutely free
in this tightwaddest of towns. The
suburbanite visualizes a New Yorker
as a man with one hand on his watch
and the others on yours. But oc-
casionally he is a man with both
hands full of gifts. As matter of
fact in no other city is it possible
to get more things thrust on you
without the necessity of payment.
There is. brand of taxicab, for
example, which always supplies its
patrons with newspaper. There 1t
is neatly folded on the seat when you
hop in and of course -ou are expected
to leave it neatly folded there when
you hop out. But if you take the
newspaper with you, the driver mere
ly gives you dirty look and buys
another.
