He was bright, clever and ac- commodating, but the first time I saw him in Bertha's company, and noted the mischievous twinkling In her bright eyes, I marked him down for my worst enemy. I visited the Glad- dens no more, and lined up with a rapid group, shirking my duty at the bank days and wasting my time nights, I met Mary on the street one day, and she looked reproachingly at me, 1 fancied. I was in my usual ugly mood, “Some Dark Night We'll Capture Ev- ans." ! [ however. I hung my head at a thought of how she must know about the bad company I was keeping, and slunk away without speaking to her. A very bad crowd it was, indeed—the worst of the reckless groups of loiter | ers about the town. There was a young fellow named Dave Tompkins, who was a member of the reckless group I was training with. In some way he fathomed my feelings regarding the Gladdons. One evening when we were together he made the casual remark: “I suppose you feel none too kindly towards that fellow Evans?” “Kindly!” I snarled, in my very worst mood at the time, for I had been called down about my shiftless work at the bank that day by the cashier— “I hate him!"” | “Then maybe you and I can do some business together?” intimated Tomp- | kins, with a wicked laugh. | “What do you mean?” I inquired. “Well,” was the response, “he's an | Interloper. I happen to have heard how he cut in with the Gladden girls.” I made no reply but nursed my | wrath darkly. “Then, again, he blocked my plans, { I was slated for the position he now fills, when he came along with his rec- ommendations and cheek and got in | ahead of me. I'll admit he’s smart and steady, but if he was out of the way I'd get the job. The company knows I'm good at it; they couldn't find a more experienced man, so-~will you help me give Evans a vacation? | “How do you mean?” I asked. It was a precious scheme that Tomp- kins proposed. When I look back at it I see how close I was to the brink of becoming a criminal, I shudder. He eaw that I was reluctant to engage in ! any real criminal undertaking, so ho made my share of it appear light and | | easy for me. { “Some good friends are willing to | assist me in getting my rights,” was { the plausible way in which he put it. | “All the details are arranged. Some } dark night we'll capture Evans as he i is leaving the works.

Chapman.) NEW ARTIFICIAL HAIR IDEA, Frenchman Has Found That Spun Crystal Will Imitate, Actually the Demand to Be Supplied. France seems to be the land where most experiments for making artifi clal hair are carried on. Not long ago attempts were made to form wigs from certain fibrous plants, the same kind that have served to furnish| materfal for rugs and blankets. By splitting fibers extremely fine and then treating them chemically it was possible to make an artificial hair, | But the price was high and the re | sults not satisfactory. Now successful experiments have proven that it is possible to use spun crystal and reduce it to any shade and degree of fineness, [ And the resemblance to the human| hair s almost perfect. It is light, also, lustrous, and absolutely hy.| gienic. A German engineer has {nvented a way to transform ashes into marble' of rare beauty and which will take| the highest polish. But he absolutely | refuses to reveal his secret, although several owners of large quarries have | made bhim splendid offers for his ge ' cret. i His method seems simple as far as his apparatus is concerned. He has a small gas stove and a kettle. It fg known, of course, that his process is a matter of chemical synthesis, and with these few implements and his secret he has been known to manu.| facture a medium sized slab of m' ble in half an hour. —— Exciting Time, Mrs. Jones ran out the back door and sped across the lot to the divid- ing line, ‘ “Mrs. Beckett, oh, Mrs. Pockets, come out!
