Satisfactory Results [ e —— —_— ] * A FATHFUL FRIEND | 1 | { By MILDRED CAROLINE cooD-‘ RIDGE. e R S N S | % | A woman shrieked and fainted away, | & gathering of street loiterers parted { summarily, expressions of excitement, wonder and then horror beat out upon : the ambient afternoon air at Purdy Corners. Tragically and without warning there had sped around the corner of | the public square a panting, bristling, wild-eyed collie og. Its fleetness was that of a greyhound, its progress that of a loyal, intelligent dumb animal . bent upon some mission of vital ur- gency. “0ld Judge Warren's dog!"” shouted & dozen voices in unison. “What's he up to—gone mad?”’ “No, he's been hurt—look at the blood on him!” The last speaker was the village smith. To him both dog and owner had been known for years. With him Don had been always friend and fa- vorite. The animal swung its blood- shot gaze towards him. There was prathos and pleading in the glance, a low whimpering howl, but Don kept straight on until he reached the stone | steps leading up into the little county courthouse. It was there, ever since he had done with judgeships and active business cares, that Judge Warren had come| dafly to keep in the routine of old ac- | quaintanceship. That morning he had been missed. And now his usual com- panion had appeared in a manner that {ndicated the mysterious, the terrify- ing, the tragic. For only a moment Don faltered al; the steps. Then he sprang up tlmm.’i The crowd followed. There was a sud-: | den hush over all the scene. It was as | : Would Linger All Day and Night Near the Closed Doorway of the House. {f some dread werewolf of ancient times had invaded the peaceful ham-! | let, bringing in its trail a sungvxinury; | token of impending disaster. And then an awesome thing happened, | The dog stralght to the| courtroom. The court was not in seg glon, but the presiding judge sat In his;’ accustomed place listening to some | {nformal discussion of half a dozen lawyers. At the edge of the dais Don paused. As if appealing to justice, the | reeking animal lifted its head. It} uttered one shrill, curdling, mournful | howl. It was the cry for vengednce, tor justice, blood for blood! The ani | mal turned swiftly, but first swept thn:- faces of those near to it and gave al plaintive whine as though beseeching | them to follow. proceeded | The truth was known in an hour | Grim faced and stern the village smith | “You were the attorney for Judge Warren,” he said “Were?" repeated Walter, startled. | “We found him murdered in eold | blood, the safe in his library ran- | packed.

For 24 hours the entire country was scoured. | No clew to the murderer or the miss- | ing plunder was discovered. : Then came a reluctant mournful mis- glon for Burdett. Judge Warren had living relative in the world— She was at a adopted niece in school 200 miles away.| Some one must advise her of the death | of her friend in the world. Bur-| | dett departed on his sad errand. \ He was amazed when the first out bu ¢ was over with the young girl to observe that into her fair face there had come a set sternness, as »{ her uncle had » currents of her be- ral it was thought 1 remain at school settled up he hat of the young y, she retained | true friend I ask only but ngeance | | | discovered. | day of the murder, but it was vague | leave the grounds. | and morning and night brought him his | “I bought it at the beginning of win- | have no further use for it, and wish | for my muff. | exchange clerk to convince the irate | sue paper, laid it gingerly on my desk good old man must be found—and punished.” And, as {f registering a solemn promise, Walter Burdett looked into her eyes, and she knew he would not ! falter in his chosen mission. No efforts were spared to run down | the assassin, but not the slightest clue as to his identity or whereabouts was There was a description of a stranger seen about the town the { | and led to no results of value. Very often Walter visited the now deserted home of the dead jurist. It became necessary. Don, recovering from his fearful wounds, refused to He would linger all day and night near the closed door- way of the house, looking up and down the road constantly as if expecting some one he was looking for to pass by. Walter finally dragged the dog house to the spot, chained up Don meals. There came a climax. One moon- light evening Walter had just attend- ed to the wants of the poor, faithful enimal when an automobile sped by. Don had made a sudden leap, with a sharp, wild cry. He tugged at his chain, he glared after the disappear- ing machine. Plainly, in the clear moonlight Walter saw that it held but one person, & man, apparently a stranger in the district. Don leaped into the air. He bit his chain, he was fairly frantic. A speedy thought impressed Walter as, follow- ing the automobile with his eye, he saw it turn into a wooded stretch away from the traversed roadway,. Had the dog's instinct guided him to recognize in the automobile the slayer of his master? The impression led Walter to trace down the machine. It had halted in a dense grove, one edge of which was bounded by a deep ravine. There the stranger was reach- ing into the trunk of a hollow tree. He drew out a small fron box. Walter recognized it as the missing posses: slon of his dead client. “You are the man!" he springing upon the murderer. “And you know too much!"” growled out the other. They clinched. Walter fell underneath. The man had drawn a knife. Kneeling upon the breast of his adversary, he raised it menacingly. At that moment there was a metallic Jangling, then a welrd shrill scream. Don, broken free from his captivity, had sprang upon the shoulders of the man. Over and over they rolled. With a gasp Walter saw them disap pear over the edge of the ravine. There—the man dead, his vietim'e cruel fate avenged, Don stark and stiff, but bis teeth sunk deep in the man's throat—both were found by neighbors summoned by Walter. The shadow of the tragedy never en: tirely was dissipated in the life of Eva Warren, but in the sunshine of the love of Walter Burdett she forgot most of s bitterness. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G.

ARE HARD TO REASON WITH Patrons of Stores Advertising to Re- fund Money on Request Some- times Make Queer Claims, The clerks statloned at the ex- change bureaus of the large stores tell of many curious incidents that take place in their work daily, as note the following incident: A lady in a great hurry one day rushed up to the exchange desk of a well- known store and said: “Exchange this muff for me, please.” The clerk opened the package and ed in a polite manner: “Where is your purchase slip, madame?” “Oh,’ said the lady, “I lost that, but I bought the muff here, and I want my money back.” “But,” continued the clerk, “we can- not refund money on this article un- less you have the sales slip so we can see the date of purchase.” “Oh,” said the caller in explanation, shouted, ter, and,” she continued, “I used thg muff while it was cold, but now I my money back. You advertise to re- fund money on request, so I request the money be glven me in exchange You see, it 18 in very good order, and you can gell it agaln next winter.” It took the next quarter of an hour on the part of the manager and the son, and as caller this was not in re: she departed she d red never arain would she patronize the store that advertised “Money refunded on request.” “You see,” sald the exchange clerk after relating this incident, “what we have to deal with | “Why, the other day a lady brought in a package wrapped in tis- only to refund her money 1 opened the pack- irprised to find there- | and asked me on the conte age and in the dead carcass of a canary bird.” | was The Program. “You didn't attend to any of those matters 1 mentioned when you left the | house!"” sald Mrs. Crosslots f “I'll do better next time 1 know."” do the forgeting and Forgive and forget " Yes., Y I'll do the forgiving This Funny World.

Va. - HUNGERFORD GIVE A DRESSY APPEARANCE Splendidly Effective Are the New Belts That Are Shown Just Now in Large Numbers. A little accessory that can be bought to add a smart touch to a home-made or old frock is always welcome. Perhaps that is one reason for the popularity of the neckwear of this season and last. Frilling and ruch- ings of tulle and net and lace trans- formed many simple frocks and the addition of one of the new organdy collars to a staid serge dress takes it out of the realm of dowdiness. So it is with a new little belt that can be had in the shops. It is really only a half belt, for the back of the skirt or coat, to reach from hip to hip. It is made in many combinations. One that is very attractive is made of gray suede, cut out to show three or four pieces of Japanese silk crepe printed in blue and red. This little belt costs $1.35, and is fitted with three or four pockets on the under side so that it can be easily fastened to as many little balls sewed on the skirt. Other belts are made of suede and kid of different colors, some of them with cut out designs over white kid, some of them decorated with small colored glass spikes or nailheads of brass. They would be especially nice, these little belts, on the back of a colored linen or duvetyn or other summer skirt, and they could also be used to very good effect on a summer Jacket, S @ B i & & & ™ pairs Boyden's $6, $6.50 and $7.00 val- beE - i $3.98 MEN | IS pairs gun metal Blu, & Butt, $3.50 value, ! while they last, on ¢ $2.25 ARRIS CO.
