CHAPTER VII
Oliver Is Worried

Three days later, the sheriff of the
county served papers on Oliver Octo-
Der. The prosecuting attorney had re-
fused to lay the matter before the
grand jury, as requested by Horace
Gooch, but had grudgingly acceded to
his demand that an official investiga-
ton be instituted and carried to a
definite conclusion by the authorities.
II want you to understand, Oliver"
explained the sheriff, that this is none
Of my doing. Gooch has obtained an
order from the court, calling for
search of the swamp and your prem
ises, basing his affidavit on the sus-
picion that his brother-in-law came to
his death by foul means and -er-so
on. He agrees to pay all the costs
arising from this investigation in case
nothing comes of it, On the other
hand, if your fathers body is found,
and there is any evidence of foul play,
the county naturally is to assume all
the costs. The old man has hired two

won't have any hard feelings toward
me, Baxter. l am only doing my duty
as ordered by the court"
''Eot the slightest feeling in the
world, sheriff." said Oliver warmly. II
wish you would do me a favor, how
ever. The next time you see my uncle,
please remind him that my offer TO
give $4,000 if he finds my poor father
dead or slive-still holds. You can

sheriff If any damage is done to the
property, however, shall be obliged to
compel my uncle to pay for it. Don't
forget to tell him that, will you?"
The sheriff grinned. II wonder If
this old bird knows how many votes
he's going to lose by this sort of thing
Oliver frowned His scheme is to
throw suspicion on me, sheriff. That's

Josephine was silent for long time.
Suddenly she lifted her head and
looked up into her daughters face.
MY DEAR. she said, with wry little
twist at the corner of her generous
mouth, ''I've come home to stay. 1
daresay you will find me capable of
taking things as they are. l did it
once before, and | can do it again"
The express wagon with Mrs. Sage's
trunks arrived as Oliver, in despair,
was preparing to depart as he had
come, on Marmaduke Smiths bicycle.
He took fresh hope. Here was a
chance to see Jane after all.
where do you want the trunks,
Jane?" he shouted from the bottom of
the stairs. There was no answer.
where shall we put them, Uncle Her.
bertY' he asked. his hands jammed
deep in his pockets.
BLESS my soul. II haven't an idea"
groaned Mr.. Sage, passing his hand
over his brow. Unless you put them
in my study" he suggested brightly.
Fifteen minutes later, the trunks be-
ing piled high in the pastors little
study, Oliver mopped his brow and ex-
pressed himself feelingly to Mr.. Sage
from the bottom of the porch steps.
Uncle Herbert, I think Jane might
have been allowed a minute or two to

mine? What about you, dad?" Ben
beamed at each one, not waiting for
any family verdict in regard to his
new leaf.
Ben, senior, laughed boyishly.

Then he pedaled slowly away on
Marmaduke's wheel, looking over his
shoulder until the windows Of the par
sonage were no longer visible.

ed, laconically.
"Some stunt, dad; mothers pretty

ITS pretty late for an old lady of
eighty-six to be resolving anything.

you're not so slow, grandma. You
can't break it, because no matter
what you do you've always got an

The NeWYea
- BY Frances

aver the sunlit hills of time
~ The New Year comes on joyful
feet;
Out of the night the sweet bells chime
Music of hope and promise sweet.
Into the dead past with our dead
Lay we the old, old year away;
Hopes we have had and tears we've
shed,
Each well beloved yesterday.
All, all are in thy ageless hands;
What once was ours now is thine.
Where wrong upon the record stands
o blot it with they love divine!
Remember not the petty sins
That marred our troubled yesterdays;
Be with us as this year begins
And lead us on by fairer ways.
Still hold the dream before our eyes
Envisioned ever clear and sweet,
A star to bid our spirits rise,
A lantern to our stumbling feet!

First-F ooting Ancient
Scottish New Year Habit

First-footing is an ancient custom
which still exists in Scotland. Late in
the evening of Hogomany, December
81, in each year, thousands Of the COM

of the Edinburgh Iron church to as
certain on good evidence when the new
year commences When the clock is
about to strike II they cheer so loudly
that the strokes are not heard. In
stantly that it has finished, they de-
part for the purpose of first-footing-
that is, each one tries to be the first
person that year to cross the threshold
of his friends house and wish him the
compliments Of the season 1t is con-
sidered bad luck to go into house
empty-handed, and good luck is sup
posed to attend the resident whose
first foot is dark-complexioned and
whose name begins with straight in

The Notorious Line

Hale Holden, the railroad magnate.
told a railroad story at banquet In
New York.
"Once upon time" he said, there
was a railroad line about IL miles
long that was notorious for its dis
comfort, bumps and dirt.

terminus one morning, late as usual,

"a man under sixty is still very
young" said Mallotin with great dig
nifty. MAY 1 ask who the fortunate
gentleman is?"
Mrs. Bell hesitated a minute. ear
thur HORACE, in Packs grocery" she
answered
"That young chap?" asked Mallo-
tin. "Why, you're old enough to be
his mother"
Mr.. Mallotin, / came in here this
evening to say l was leaving after
January 1st-nOt to be insulted."
With that Mrs. Bell slammed the din
ing room door and disappeared, leav-
ing her employer in state of COM
plete bewilderment.
1t was not long, however, that the
excellent brain Of Mr.. Mallotin re
manned muddled. He simply had to
find a way of retaining Mrs. Bell
There was not another cook in all
New York who could even compare
with her. He must have her. With
determination in his eyes he left the
house and started off In the direction
of Packs grocery.
Arthur HORACE, a young man about
twentySiX, was arranging cans on the
counter. Mallotin drew him off to a
corner of the store, and the two
talked together quietly for over an
hour. Finally Mallotin pulled out his
checkbOok, scrubbed something on it
and handed a narrow slip Of white
paper to the eager HORACE who held
it out to read the amount more care
fully. Mallotin left the store a happy
man. He had never spent two hun
dred dollars so well.
1t had been just as he had sus-
pected. Young HORACE was marrying
Mrs. Bell entirely for the sake of the
money she had saved She was to
have started him in business. Mallo-
tins offer of two hundred dollars
looked so good to him, however, that
he was willing to forego his wife and
make off to Cleveland, as Mallotin
had specified. "Now, to fix it with
Mrs Bell" said Mallotin. This he
thought would be quite simple. Mrs
Bell would be grateful to him for saw
ing her from such a foolish step and
would willingly agree to continue in
his service. And he was right-up
to a certain point. Mrs. Bell was will
ing to give up her erstwhile sutton
with only a little regret, but most i'm
portant of all to Mallotin, was not
willing to stay on in his service.
''You see, 1 get rather lonesome
here, Mr.. Mallotin; I'm tired of this
dreary life, and even If I don't marry
Arthur HORACE there are other men.
expect to get married"
Mr.. Mallotin then became little
sentimental himself. He laid his hand
tenderly on Mrs. Bells shoulder.
''Look here, Mrs Bell, did it ever
! occur to you what lonely life lead
heref Did you ever think how much
more life might mean to me If I had a
fine wife-like-well like yourself, to
look after me?"
Mrs. Bell turned to him and smiled.
"Well, I'll stay on then-after Jan
uary 1st-but well begin the New
Year as Mr.. and Mrs. Mallotin, shall
we n0t?''
"We SHALL" was Mallotin's ready
and empuatic response.

TEN BANDITS BLOW
 SAFE IN ILLINOIS
Cut Wires, Get S5,000 and
 Then Make Escape

Chicago, Aug, 27.-Early yester- day ten bandits In automobiles swept Into the little town Of Heyworth, H., l.o miles southwest of Chicago on the Illinois Central railroad. After shooting up the town in wild west fashion they cut telephone and telegraph wires, blew open the vault Of the State bank Of Heyworth and rode away with s5,o00 in cash and several thousand dollars worth of negotiable securities.
 The bandits were armed with sawed-off shotguns and reyolvers. The town marshal said they riddled the windows Of business houses with bullets and terrorized the entire community before blowing the safe. The blast that blew open the vault partially wrecked the bank and broke windows in adjoining struc- lures.
 The marshal sent word of the rob- hcry to the outside world by driving 1 Tn car lo BlOoIHlAston, where ne notirH5: Deputy Sheriff Erthell, who in turn telephoned the Chicago po- lice 10 watch for the bandits, who are believed to be heading toward i this city.
