The Marry-Go-ROund

Shadow Boxing With Love
/ Wasting your youth in cheap
affairs and casual love-making
6 Is like eating a ham sandwich
before dinner-juSt spelling
your appetite for the real love
feast.
Torture was last used in
1910, according to Walter Win
chell. Torture for criminals,
perhaps. But, torture for the
innocent only began with the
coming of the motor-horn, the
radio-fiend, the jazz-singer and
prohibition.
Distance lends so much en-
chantment to the average man
that the longer you are mAr-
ried to him, the more distance
you are inclined to give him.
Many a woman is expert at
picking out a frock that won't
shrink, fade or run; but she
is not always so careful or so
lucky in picking out that kind
Of husband.

far end a curtained compart-

two easy chairs; and, opposite
the cot, a table hooked into the
side of the van with one out

Dale gave only a curSory
glance to these details as a
man, at the far end, had risen
and was coming toward the
rear Of the wagon. He was tall
and broad of shoulder and
coatleSS. His shirt, open at the
front, showed the sinewS in his
throat. His sleeves were rolled
up and gave to view a bulging
forearm. His hair was brown
and curly and slightly unkempt,
but this did not detract from
the manly handSomenesS Of his
features.

cold, authoritative voice at her
elbow. The deputy sheriff and
the policewoman, to take her
hack to jail.
"Good-by, Nal" Cathie opened
her mouth to say tn words, but
only q broken sob came out.
The policewoman and the
sheriff took her, each with a
firm hand on her elbow, and
marched her back to Jail.

It was almost over. Mr.. Allan
and Mr.. Gunther had thundered
questions at Chester, and they
couldn't trip him, they couldn't
shake his testimony. He stuck
to the story that he had first
seen Cathie in the window, and
had then seen her come to the
window with the gun in her
hand, after he heard the sound
Of the shot.
And there was Alfred Sells,
the elevator operator, to verify
the first sight Of q woman in the
window, and two other men, one
a pasSerby, the other a butler
in q house across the street, who
had passed and seen Chester
sitting On the curb, his head in
his hands.
Mute Evidence
''Why didn't you come over

butler said.
And then they brought out

knew it was true It had

While there is less risk today OF
having the car permanently stolen
there are plenty of Migrants ready to
take the car on joy ride or for a
getaway following some other theft OF
crime. To such persons the unlighted
car usually looks the more appealing
because the darkness suggests that the
owner is planning to be away from his
property for some time. It always helps
to give the impression that the car is

is possible, however to go too far with

BOSTON, Mass, July 26.-It is get
ting along toward the time of year
when motor vehicle owners will learn
what they are going to have to pay
for compulsory insurance when they
register their cars and trucks for next
year. Commissioner of Insurance Mer-
ton L. Brown, upon whom falls the
duty Of fixing the rates that will pre-
vail in 1881 and also determining the
territories to which the various rates
will apply, is collecting the necessary
information from the insurance COM
panies, and about a month from now
will announce the preliminary schedule
and classification by territories. There
will follow a period of 10 days, during
which the motoring public. the insur-
ance companies, municipalities and
Others can digest the proposed arrange
ment, and then, probably early in Sep
TENDER, there win be public hearing.
The final rates, classifications and the
like will be announced before Septem-
Der Is.
Despite the large number of bills that
was before this years Legislature pro-
posing changes in the compulsory auto
mobile insurance law, that body saw fit
to make no amendment. The proposed
changes ranged all the way from a
State insurance fund or a State con-
trolled insurance company to a system
of individual rating. 1t was thought
best. however, to leave the system as
it was and so, for the fourth year of
compulsory insurance. the Elain fea-
lures of the administration will remain
as they were last year, the rates and
territories being determined by the
State and the insurance being written
by the insurance companies.
Changes Based on Experience.
This does not mean, however, that
there will be no changes in classical
tons and rates. Commissioner Brown
is not yet ready to say what alterations
he will make, but he states that for 1891
the rates and the classif1cations will be
based more closely than ever before
upon the actual experience of the vari-
Gus cities and towns. In some cases
they will be fixed directly upon local
experience. This indicates that there
will be more zones than at present and
probably larger number of different
rates. Commissioner Brown believes
