■' "I subbose," said Captain
Pinoci—- :'-»aj!t Ically its the noise died
away, “you rill lie bringing vun of

"I was going to tell you one to

happened last Sunday when J went te
the 'Banks.' "
“I eggsphgted id.” sighed the Cap
tain. “Veil, vot iss diss new lie of.
yours ?"
"This is a true one," averred the
Pilot in spite of the Captain's look
of Incredulity. "There was a man on
board the excursion boat who had a
dog with him In the afternoon the
man got tired of fishing and fell asleep
on the deck. Would you believe
it”— —
"I vouldn't.” said the Captain.
"Well, anyway," the Pilot went on
“this dog held the line whil< his mas
ter was asleep, and when he got a
bite he would bark and bark until
the man woke up and pulled in the
fish.”
"I guess dot vass a tlea bite dot dog
got,” said the Captain; “dots der only
kind of a bite J effer knew a dachs
hund to get.”
"Perhaps you can tell a better one,”
said the Pilot scornfully.
"Iff I couldn't I vould neffer has
received my captain's hapers," was
the reply. ‘‘Diss story iss aboud der
vunderful ducks dot dej has in New
Zealand. Id takes ten years to train
a duck so dot he can catch fish
there ”
"A duck catch fish!” exclaimed the
Pilot.
"Just der same ns dot dog you vass

IN this world there are many strange sights and famous ones to see. There is
the place where you may find the mother, with a round baby in the comfort
ing hollow between her knees, and over her shoulder bends the man who loves
them and labors for both. This is a happy and fair thing to see, and there are
many folks who pass that way. Some stop to look with the eyes of their hearts
turned backward, some look with a tender smile in their eyes, some with hope
that they’ll be able sometime to stop at that place themselves and never come
away. Oh. and then there’s the place where a little shabby child presses her
grimy baby bands and her wistful little nose against the shop window and watches
another little child in embroidery and ha ndwoven linen pick out the “regular life
size” doll that she likes best. That is a most sad place, and folks pass there
quickly, or duck their faces away so they will not see. Then there is the place

voice or hand to comfort her. She knew
what their father could be- Sir George
Lumsden, who was selfishness Incarnate
at the best of times how he would act
now, when, as he conceived It. his honor
had been outraged by his daughter's flout

trial of the man whose connection with
her he had publicly repudiated In the

Deep Mystery.
The awful mystery of it all! Edith
Barrington's fainting flt in the gallery at
the court had hidden from her that last
scene of all. when Betty had risen and
striven to speak She had read garbled
accounts of it "Pathetic and dramatic
scene;" "prisoner’s sweetheart faints in
court" they had wrung her heart, but
they had given het no clew.
Vet of one thing she was certain Bet
ty knew something that might have saved
Rlmlngtoti Betty had been In Tempest
street on the night of the murder and
yet Betty had no spoken. Why? Sitting
there with her hands clasper around her
knees, her somber eyes staring out into
the drub lodging house room and seeing
nothing off t, Edith Barrington asked her
self that question again and again.
Last night, worn out In tnind and body,
she had silenced It by the drug that had
brought her sleep Now it refused to be
silenced It rang Insistently In her heart
Why had not Betty told all that she
knew?
"She must speak," the woman In the
bed said, suddenly "It is Inconceivable
I that she should keep silence.”
Anil of the fact that Rlmlngton was
| innocent also she had no shadow of
| doubt. That Betty had committed any
: crime was equally unthinkable some
I dreadful inexplicable tragedy had en

if only Betty had confided in her. this
i awful thing would never have happened
this innocent man. their own friend.
I the little boy who had played with them
|as children, would not have been called

And even as she thought she knew

years past now, had sown the seed of
this last harvest, on that morning when,
secretly, against all prudence and obedi
ence. she had entered into that marriage
with the plausible scoundrel she had last
seen lying dead —shot by Anthony Bar
rington's hand.
A Trivial Sin.
Her sin such a white, romantic, trivial
sin as It had seemed —a secret rather than
a sin. surely! And yet what a terrible
harvest from Its seed! Those years of de
ception of her husband, with their lies and
subterfuges, culminating in that resurrec
tion of the dead which had necessitated
Betty's effort to raise the money for the
blackmail and its awful result; Levas
seur's death, that had stained Tony’s hand
with blood; and now Jack Rlmlngton—to
be "hanged by the neck until he was
dead!"
The horror of it all! Right and silent the
woman sat, and seemed to see her fault
like a stone flung In a still pond, sending
wide and everwidenlng circles till the
whole placid surface was in motion.

thing must be done to save the innocent

on which hung a miniature of her little
son The truthful gray eyes- so like his
father's that their look pierced her heart

again now That night when she had
slipped into the dimly lighted nursery and
kissed him while he slept, she had told
herself that she would never see him
again, even while in her heart she had
looked forward to that moment of re
union when Toney, frightened by what
his cruelty and mistrust had driven her
I to. sought her out and brought her home.

there are a heap of strange sights and famous ones to see. And one of them, if
you go over the hills and far away, or if you stroll down the dust of Broadway,
you’ll some day, any day, see—a shrouded creature called Time, the wish to stay

ByeBEATRICE FAIRFAX
YOU ARE RIGHT.
Dear Miss. Fairfax:
I am seventeen and '|tave one
very’ bad fault. I just can’t bear
smoking. Every young man I know
seems to smoke more or less, and
after going out with them once. I
do not care to go out again. I do
not want to be thought of as a
crank, but would it be improper for
me to request them not to smoke
when in my company? M. V.
You are in the right. If more girlt
were like you there would be fewer men
who are smoking themselves to death.
Not only is it proper for you to ask
them not to smoke in your presence
but it is very improper for them to do
It without first asking your permis<
Sion.
You have your ideals. Stick to them.
It will mean your greater happiness itr
the end.
A GOOD MAN TO FORGET,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have known a Voung man for
about five years, but have been go
ing out with him for only the past
year. This young man has told me
of his love, which is reciprocated.
He has been very kind to me and
treated me with respect. We had
no quarrels, but suddenly he stop
ped calling at my house and did
not even write stating why.
CONSTANT READER
The man who loves a girl never des
serts her as this man has deserted you.
He owes you an explanation of his
absence. And you, my dear, owe it to
yourself not to seek it! You must
never let him know that you are aware
his visits have ceased, treat him with
the indifference his cold-blooded action
deserves, and teach yourself to forget
him.
HOW GRACE BENSON
BECAME FAMOUS FOR
THE BEAUTY OF HER
HANDS AND ARMS
Free Prescription That Can Be Pre
pared at Home Without Expense.
Grace Benson, famous for the mar
velous beauty of her hands and arms in.
a recent interview, says: “If I could
tell every woman about the prescrip
tion that has caused all this talk about
my hands and arms they could every
one of them make their hands and
arms just as beautiful as mine. I am
glad to have the opportunity to give
my receipt free to the world. It will
help every woman to improve her per
sona) appearance."
When I asked her If she would al
low me to publish the prescription, she
quickly answered: "Certainly, only too
glad to have you do it.” Turning to
a desk, she wrote it on a slip of pape
and handed it to me. Here It is: "Go
to any drug store, get an empty two
ounce bottle, also a one-ounce bottle
of Kulux Compound. Pour the entire
bottle of Kulux into the two-ounce bot
tle, add quarter of an ounce of witch
hazel, then fill with water. Apply night
and morning.”
She further said: "This prescrip
tion makes the skin transparent and
removes all defects, such as freckles,
tan, sun spots, roughness and ruddi
ness. A single application works a
marvelous transformation. Where low
collars are worn it can be applied to
the neck with equally as startling re
sults. It is absolutely harmless, and
will positive!}’ not stimulate or pro
duce a growth of hair."
