She crisp and green found its way into the chauffeur’s palm “Chris, you're a mighty good fel- | low; and I think you're a discreet one |; a8 well.” said he. “Now, have you enough sporting blood in your veins | to take a chance and do just as I say?" | Chris looked a bit dubious.

But let me say once for all, Bobby, finally and irrevocably, that it is utterly impossible.” Remick’s mouth set obstinately. There was a look upon his face at that moment that said plainly it was absolutely and irrevocably nothing of the sort. “And.” Felicia went on, “it must cease. You must stop all this silly nonsense if you care to see me at all.” “lL care very much indeed, Felicia,” he replied, “but the truth of the mat- ter is that seeing you is not enough. Therefore, permit me to say with a decision which will compare very fa- vorably with your own in intensity, that I shall be very persistent, that upon every occasion that offers an op- portunity I shall repeat what I have just said” ¥ Felicia’s beautiful eyes shot out warning sparks. An angry red crept into her cheeks; for Felicia, spoiled child that she was in many ways, could brook no crossing of her will. “Then, Bobby Remick," she said firmly, “you will never get your next opportunity.” “Won't I, though?” he laughed eas- ily. That laugh nettled Felicia sorely. The sparks in her eyes flared into a veritable flame. “If you ever do—if you ever get an- other chance,” she declared in low, unsteady tones, “I will answer you LL PCOSCEED TLE DIGLATION ” just as you dictate. You have brought this upon yourself. Now, good-by— forever.” She swept out of the room—swept out very grandly and very haughtily. Remick, left there alone to meditate upon his undoing, whistled softly un- der his breath. “My. my!" he murmured half aloud, “wouldn't that shake your founda- tions? Never give me another chance, eh? And if she does, she says I may do the dictating! H’m!” He took up his hat and stick and went out into the cheerless gray of the cloudy afternoon. For once in his life he was really alarmed. Plainly he had gone rather too far in this matter with Felicia. He strode along aimlessly, unmind- ful whither his steps were taking him. It began to rain—a dreary, dripping downpour that bade fair to drench him to the skin, but Remick, his mind a turmoil of troubled thoughts, poked along with his head lowered to the driving rain, quite unmindful of his own discomfort. He was thinking—a rather new and disturbing process for light-hearted Bobby Remick—and his thoughts could give the dismal weath- er cards and spades when it came ta actual gloom. Presently he caught his breash sharply and stopped short, for, drawn up to the curb before a little ci man’s shop—a shop where Felicia was wont to purchase candlestitks jand andirons and queer little bron: terns—was the Grahams’ motor. gleaming with moisture, the jcollar . turned high about his ears andj pair him across the sidewalk to the side of the waiting car. 5 “Chris, what are you doing he demanded. ere?” Chris raised a gloved hand to the rim of his cap. ° 5 “Waitin’ for Miss Felicia, é he explained. : “Who is with her?” 5 “No, one, sir. She came dowp this wni"great Wiad Tight came ind A great, glad it came ini@Rem- fek’s eyes. As he did so hig hand went into 2 the order that are amenable to rea- son. “I want that coat and those gog- les,” said Remick, “and I want to change places with you for an hour or so.” Chris hesitated. “It will cost me my job, sir,” he sald. | “T'll get you another just as good,” | Remick declared. Still Chris hesitated. Remick drew himself up. “Will you do it in the peaceable fashion I suggest,” he asked, “or do you want me to take that coat and those goggles by force? I'm desper ate, Chris, and at the present moment I'm perfectly capable of following such a course.” Chris grinned. “That bein’ the case, sir, and in event of anything happenin’ to my job you'll sure find me another, T'll take a chance. Hurry, now,” he went on, sliding out of the car. “Miss Felicia may come out any minute.” Into the friendly concealment of a hear-by doorway the two consipators stepped. In a moment Remick, his identity effectually concealed by the’ high collar of the yellow coat and the goggles, climbed into the car, and perched at the wheel in an attitude very like the one Chris was prone to affect. Chris, meantime, swinging Remick's stick, wearing Remick’s hat, and smo king, with much satisfaction, one of Remick's cigars, strode jauntily away down the street and was lost in the hurrying crowds on the sidewalk. Three minutes later Felicia came out of the little shop. The proprietor himself opened the door for her, es- corted her to the car and helped her in, “And you'll find me a mate to that candlestick, Mr. Barlow?” Felicia was asking. “I'll do my best, Miss Graham,” the rotund little shopkeeper assured her. While Remick’s heart all but jumped out of his mouth. Away went the car, swung a corner to the smooth, gleaming asphalt ot the avenue and went tearing along at a great pace. The streets went past in rapid succession; a lever was pressed down and the car answeree with a wild burst of speed. Felicia gasped. “Chris, what has Mr. Graham told you often about speeding this car?” she said severely “Slow down at once. You are way beyond the speed limit.” There was no sign that the chauf- feur had heard her. The car, roaring and puffing, shot ahead. Felicia raised} her voice to make herself heard above | the noise of the throbbing engine. | “Chris"—there was a note of alarm) in her voice—“what does this meant?) Where on earth are you going? You've! passed the house. Stop! Do you hear me? Stop at once!” | She reached forward to touch his! arm. They shot across a bridge and. struck a smooth, hard macadam road) in the suburbs. The houses were set, back from the street. The great elms, | bordering it on either side, offered a certain friendly concealment. The car slowed down and stopped.

Is this not worthy of your consideration if you are a poor sick invalid woman? The formula of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of medical ex- perts, for it contains no alcohol, narcotics, harmful, or habit-forming drugs, and no agent enters into it that is not highly recommended by the most advanced and leading medical teachers and authorities of their several schools of practice.

MULKEY, Registered Veterinary Surgeon BUTLER, MI5SOURI Office at Harley Smith’s Livery Barn 2 otf Indian Declares Comet is Fateful Muskogee, Okla., May.—Circling Hawk, an old Creek Indian, sitting in his log cabin between here and Checotah, saw the mysterious Hal- ley’s comet the other night and then uttered a terrible prophecy. The In- dian is nearly a hundred years of age and for more than a month has been foretelling the forthcoming of the comet and the disasters it will bring. The old Indian did not prophesy that the comet will strike the earth and bring forth great disaster, but he tells of the days gone by when the comet came with its blazing trail of fire. “The streams dried up, the cattle and horses died and the fruit failed togrow,”’ he said. ‘‘For three nights the stars fell. My people were wick- edin those days, and it was three days before the medicine man drove away the disaster. “Now the white people are wicked. They have stolen the Indian's lands, his home and his liberty. The Great Spirit is angry and terrible disasters will follow the comet.” An Ideal Husband is patient, even with a nagging wife, for he knows she needs help.
