It was with irascible defeat that the officers realized that their prey had escaped them. Gloria's heart fluttered for hours af- ter that.

But Marley gecited all the details of an event, where, to save a sorrowing mother, he had assumed the blame of the crime of another. Then there happened something that awoke both gratitude and un- easiness in the old ringmaster. .One w zi. !)' t PAGE SEVEN Mayes Grecery Company WHOLESALE GROCERS “A BUSINESS “\ITHOUT BOOKS” We find that iow prices and long time will not go hand in hand, and on May Ist we will instal our new system of low prices for Strictlv Cash.

The horse screamed, reared and backed. Gloria sprang lightly to the sawdust floor of the arena. A whirl of the scattering flames, however, had caught her light gauzy dress. A shriek of alarm rang from the au- dience at this vivid picture of impend- ing destruction. “She is doomed!” “Save her—oh, quick!” The ringmaster stood petrified with helpless dread. Others in the ring moved forward, but stupidly gazed, with no plan of ald or rescue. A quick figure suddenly flew past dressing- room curtains. It was Marley. His face was white as death, his eyes glowed eager fire. He had torn down a drapery in his mad rush. How he did it, he himself could not tell afterwards, but in a flash he had en- veloped that beloved form, extin- guished the flames and Gloria, her hair barely singed, bowed and smiled to the audience, while Marley tottered back out of view, face and hands seared and blistered. But the audience would not have it that way. They yelled and clapped their hands and shouted until the man- ager forced Marley into the ring. 5 Does it keep correct time?

It was one morning, about a week after this episode, that a few of the actors met to rehearse a mnew act. The ringmaster, for a wonder, was ab- sent, but his daughter and Marley were both on band. They had drawn aside in the dress- ing-room entrance to await their call in the act being rehearsed, and were conversing casually, she with interest as always in her companion, he with glowing eyes, for her presence was a sweet balm to his loneliness and We offer you the best and largest ' assortment of Electric Fixtures in South Florida On Display at Our Store prida Electric and Machinery Co. 0000400000000 000000000000 Gloria, radiant, had caught his hand, | warded Marley for all he suffered.| 8Orry that the greatest commonwealth Then after that, whenever she came | Of boredom has been overlooked, nay, to the tent, Gloria lingered always a | Positively shunned by me so long.
