Lot uiy wiry or Tliestrangle you! “No, no!" expostulated Mr. Kay, re- sisting him like a maniac and sobbing while he spoke. “You don't under- stand. They're determined to get the secret out of you. They're putting themselves within the criminal law, and 'l be no party to it. Good God, Broughton, I'm trying to save you—to save myself! Once open this door and they'll tear you to pieces!” He was interrupted by a loud mur- mur oufside, and the door shook under a heavy impact; shook and shook, threatening at every instant to burst “in. Mr. Kay collapsed on a seat. “It was none of my doing,” he moan- o, “You'li hear witness to that, Jroughton—you'll bear witness to that when they've got us all in the dock. The fools” he raged in a sudden out- burst. “The crazy fools!” There was no escape except through the window and that was double—two paties of almost the thickness of plate miass.

But with what? There was Mr, Kay, erying out inarticulately and handing him sowmething! Mr. Kay's shoe-a patent leather shoe with buttons, still warm from the foot. He seized it with avidity, this help from a quarter so unexpected—seized it with exultation. Taking it by the toe, he crashed the | heel through the window. Hammer, hammer, hammer, with the glass shat- tering and the jagged, vicious edges disappearing beneath a rain of blows, disappearing till he could trust his hands on the frame and wriggle out. He went legs first, crawlingly, serap- ing his wrists and hands on the thin knife of undislodged glass, waistcoat and shirt half pulled to his neck—but out, no matter how, till, hanging his The business man who wants lis bank account in an institution that has every facility for handling com- mercial business—an institution that is able and willing to extend him the aid be needs—will find that his ac- count is welcome here.

When his debts were paid be would have exactly $112 left in the whole world. True, many a man bad succeeded with as little—with less— but that took time - years and Matt had no years to spare. The only thing he could look to, the only thing that | offered him a living was the sea. He went out to search for the pri ¢ate car, impelled by a forlorn hope of regaining his ring.

Jut there was no private car to be found. He senl'n'[led the entive yard and questioned every one, but ‘the private car had vanished. Nobody knew anything about a pri- vate car—nothing. Matt idled about till it was time to start for Fair Oaks. Idled and smoked pipe after pipe and wished be had never hought that confounded revolver which weighed down his pocket like a brick.

It is unnecessgry to dwell upon the difficulty of winding a skein of wool into a ball without the aid of a second pair of hands, but with the simple lit- tle contrivance shown in our sketch, this may be done with ease, and the holder can be made in a few moments. It merely consists of a piece of board in which a number of holes have been made and into which pegs (ordi-l nary clothesg pegs will answer the pur- .pose) can Le firmly inserted. Two picture rings c¢°n be screwed into the uppor edges of the wood and the holder can be hung upon the wall, and in that case, the pegs should be fastened in the holes at an angle point- ing upwards or the board with the skein placed round the pegs can be held in the lap or on the table and s0 used, and the small sketch on the right illustrates it in this position. The object of having holes in the board at various distances apart is that the pegs can be placed at differ- ent distances apart, so that the hold- er will take a skein of any size. WEAR YOUR CLOTHES EASILY Getting This Effect ls More to the Purpose Than Simply the Wear Ing of Rich Clothing. A little' while ago a Frenchman said that English women were get- ting so that they wore their clothes more easily than they used to. He rejoiced at the fact. Women should wear their clothes easily. A beauti- ful gown worn stiffly is no- better than an ugly gown worn graciously. In fact, the beautiful gown in thie case is not so good as the other. Was there ever any sight more dis- tressing than that of a simple woman dressed in all her Sunday best? Her clothes were well enough. They were well made and of good material. But she looked afraid of them and wore them stifily. How much better she looked in gingham house dress, \\i[h‘ apron and sunbonnet, perhaps fo match. And then there is the econowmical young girl who wears her ‘“best” | clothes always as if she had their value in mind and was trying to take | | care of them. She smoothes them out and holds them well away from furniture and neighbors, that they— the clothes—may uot be contaminated | by touching anything. A young girl always looks better in a simple frock, comfortably and therefore gracefully \won than in a really elaborate frock which she wears stiffly Lovely clothes should be worn joy- ously, even indifferently. It is not hard to do this now, for clotheg are soft and clinging and graceful, and re- fuse to let their wearers look stiff and “careful.” So now, while fashion | is with you, cultivate the art of wear- Ing your clothes as if they were glad you had them, as if they were a joy. not a burden, to you. p—— R to plant English or Garden Peas, Onion S f The NOW IS THE TIM Onion Sets, Beets, Lettuce, Cabbage, Collay Turnips, Rutabagas, Rye, Essex Rape, Et I HAVE FRESH SEED D.B.DICKSON Sunshin Sunshine Fromthe Thousand Windows DBakeries Cheese Wafers per package . 1 Hydrox and Whole Wheat ; Clover Leaf 10c Zwieback . 1 Citrus . 25¢ Tan San . | Cheese Sticks 15¢ Afternoon Tea 1 Butter Thins 10c Cracker Meal 1 W.P.PILLANS&CO Pure Food Store Phone 9 B0 DD GHIE OONH T SO QD DHHR OO ) IF YOU ARE THINKING Of BUILDING, SEF MARSHALL & SANDERS The OId Reliable Contractors Who have beer: building honses in Lakeland for years who never "FELL DOWN' or failed to give satisfaction All classes of buildings contracted for The many residences builv by this firm are evidences of their ubilic make goad.
