Why Docs Edith Fairfax Wish Word AIonc With Madge?

That Dicky was distinctly discom-
 nted by Edith's answer to his remark that she looked five years younger was plain. With masculine obtuSe- ness he evidently had thought it the last word in compliments ana the whimsical twist she gave it left him mentally gaapinS; forced to use the lame device of eAasperation to cover up his faux pas. .

Johnston's store Friday evening. Mrs.
Baldwin had stepped into the store to
make some purchases and was much
surprised and alarmed to find the car
gone when she returned. Officers were
informed of the theft and in a remark
able short time the word was sent in
every direction. Saturday morning the
car was found near the estockyards at
Palisade. Every article that was in
the car when it was stolen was intact
