The Hub THE HOME OF Hart Schaffner and Marx Good Clothes By SELINA ELIZABETH HIGGINS. ' Sunshine was everywhere, and no- where more golden and effulgent than I edge of the road. An automobile stood under a tree near the stream. ‘Within it there half reclined on the broad-cushioned seat a young man. thin to the point of attenua- feet distant the greenery lining the road parted abruptly. It closed aftera wild, scurrying figure, that of a fair young girl. To all appearances she was garbed in bridal array. There ! was terror in her ashen face, despair in the swift searching glance she cast | over all the scene, as though seeking ; for a hiding place or for assistance. Her dainty dress was torn by the briers and vine tangles in her heedless path, but as she made out the auto- mobile, she ran rapidly towards it. “Help me!” she panted piteously, with hands clasped in frantic plead- ing. “Take mé away from here— quickly, now!” and she cast a fright- ened, apprehensive glance in the di- rection from which she had come. A deep sympathy came into the face of the young man. It was mingled, however, with the gravity of a thought- ful, serious nature. “I do not understand—who are you?”" he inquired plainly, but in a tone that invited confidence. “Please do not delay if you would save me—" “From what?" “From a fate worse than death! They are trying to force me to marry a man I loathe. I am Anabel Leigh and—" She needed to say no more. It seemed as though that name had magic to inspire within the mind of David Pierce an instantaneous conception of One last attempt and the convict re alized the hopelessness of his endeav- | w.nammhmnhyomnm-‘ ute and a cranky piece of obstinate mechanism. He stared hopelesaly around him. | “It's no good wasting time, 72,” the | warden continued, pleasantly. “That !

And, strug- gling to his feet, he jumped over board and scrambled through two feet of muddy water. He stretched his hands out for the warden’s handcuffs. “Lord, Maxwell, where did you get that crazy old boat?” asked the other, in no unfriendly manner. “Afraid. we were going to steal her? Or did you fancy a little swim in the cool of the night, eh?” Maxwell made no reply. Something was swelling in his heart and rose into his throat, chokingly; and im im-. agination he heard the swish, swish | of Morton'’s oars. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G.

Then, with a great sigh of relief, she sat rigid, vibrating with suspense and hope commingled as the machine started swiftly onward. They had proceeded nearly ten miles before either spoke.

In about five minutes a sad-faced, aged lady came out to the machiwe. “My cousin has told me of Yyour kindness,” she spoke im & troubled, tremulous voice. “Sir, I do not know you, but your face bids me ask you for counsel, for sympathy, for advice. ‘Wil you come into the house while I tell you of the grievous, almost dan- gerous environment of this poor young il ?” “I should have insisted upon it,” re- plied David gravely, as was his wont, but with decision. “Madam, you must ‘tell me all.

A Century Ago. ¥ One hundred years ago congress en- | | gaged . in & warm discussion of the report tramsmitted by the president from the secretary of war explaiming the fallure of the army on the nerth- ern frontier. The political opponents of President Madison and the amti- war party in gemeral had much to criticise in the conduct of the war. ‘While the American pavy had distin- guished itselt om the seas, the land forces had accomplished little of real importance. Failure had resulted from the invasion of Canada by Gen- erals Wilkinson and Hampton. The report of the secretary of war, which was founded on letters and reports received from the several command- ers, allayed much of the criticiem, with the result that congress author- ized & loan of $25,000,000 for the fur- ther prosecution of the war. Sewing Machine Patents. On the average 500 or 600 appitea- tions relating to sewing machines are filed away every year in the United States patent office. Of that number about 400 are grauted, nearly all' of them dealing with improvements in machines already manufactured. SALLY OF THE SEA i By CATHERINE COPE. swiftness from the wharf.
