BLANK — 444 RIGHT, YOU L/VER~ BOUND HERRING! How POES THIS ONE STRIKE You tt BY FRANK H. WILLIAM Maxwell heard his friend, Went worth, the ventriloquist, raving in his room across the hall, Peoullar, somewhat discordant, the tones were those Wentworth employed when entertaining an audience with his puppets. Occasiqnally Went worth's own voice, but more refined and gentle than Maxwell had ever heard it, broke in on the rasping words. Finally, aroused and exeited over the matter, Maxwell plunged through his open door, across the hallway and into his friend's room The sight which met his gaze was disconcerting. Wentworth, with an ethereal calm on bis . but a strange glitter in his eyes, stood by the table facing the mantieptece. On the mantiepiece sat “Tommy,” Wentworth’s favorite puppet. The doll, which was about a foot and ® half high, was braced against a book. On its usually ugly face Maxwell felt, there was an expres sion of real malevolence. He found himself staring with horror at the| thing; then he pulled himself to. gether with a shudder, and turned to Wentworth with a foreed laug What's all this rumpus? questioned Wentworth smiled, a smile that seemed purged of all buman sing.

Save 50% and More In the Buying of a New Skirt ac Se ee FROM THE ARABIAN 69 BOB FINDLEY There was once a proud and puissant capitaliat, who, dying, left a son and money, but befc to his reward, the man called his son to him and sald: “Son, have given you every chance on earth. Everything you desired I have bought thee. I Jeave thee millions. “Preserve thy father’s name and fortune and add to them.” Whereupon he died, and there arose a mighty Weeping and clamor of lamentation among his people, and, had they known that to which he went because of the wrath of the Lord, their weeping had been yet sorer and their lamentation louder and more abounding. ; Now, of & fact, the son had no chanc t all thing he desired without effort, he started out with the idea that whatever he desired was to be bought. So he bought moerry-mak ing, rich ratment, horseless cartiages and divorces, and other lux uries of the times, and it was middle age before he learned that such matters #® health, love, usefulness and other things that abige with the true soul can't be bought. One morning, while he was sitting alone In his palace of lee on his head and bis liver tied tn a double there came a knock at his door, and there was ushe: Tam,” sald the dtrar the Angel of Death ‘ant me an hour,” begged the Proud Man's Helr. “The hour was in the a unt, and hath passed Who will be with me when I am ed asked the Hier Quoth the Angel T have no works,” “ We Hold a Great Skirt Sale _ Saturday and Monday That Makes This Saving Easy for You.
