To think of It running off tho dny be fore Now Year's without deigning to invent nn excuse even! I wouldn't havo thought It of Delia after being with us six wholo months." Hero sho stopped her mental solilo quy long enough to got her bearings and turn oast, ns directed. "It wouldn't matter so much If only Gerald Ilolllstor were not coming to dinner. Relatives don't count. Oh,' why did I Invito him? He's so accus tomed to having everything absolutely commo 11 faut. Catch mo letting my sympathies run nway with mo again Just becnuso n man's family happens to bo out of town I And ho could have nsked our wholo family over there to dinner nnd with nil his servants never bothered to lift hla finger! But that wouldn't occur to him. It's tho ono thing I don't like nbout Gerald nollls ter anyway. With nil his wealth you never hoar about his doing uny big, generous thing." Just hero Prlscllln's rapid llttlo mon ologuo stopped short She suddouly remembered thnt sho had como to tho end of her directions. For the sixth time sho was nbout to frame automatically tho monotonous inquiry for Murphy street when a bright blue sign of "Fcmnlo Help" flaunting Itself down a sldo street caught her eye. Prlscllla mado a preclpitato dash Re ward It, which ended in nn ignomini ous collision with a corner newsstand. Whon both bad regained their equilib rium, Prlscllla, giving her fur boa a careless toss over her shoulder, started a second time townrd tho garish sym bol of her hopes. This time a plalntlvo llttlo wall re strained her. Where did It como from? Thcro was not n child In sight Sho walked a step or two In tho direction of tho sound, nnd thoro, curled up un der the shelter of a newsstand, was a ml to of humanity, blue and pinched 'tvith tho cold. "Why. you poor dcarl" exclaimed Prlscllla. "Where Is your mother? Are you lost?" But tho intto didn't move, only moan ed pitifully. Prlscllla looked about perplexed. Seeing a shopkeeper watching her cu riously from behind his show window, sho beckoned htm to come to her. "Do you know who this child Is?" sho asked almost accusingly. "Shure," replied tho shopkeeper. "lie tlnds the shtand and does a smar-rt business too." "But he's only a baby and sick and cold," pleaded Prlscllla. "Oh, ho ofUn cr-rnwls undhcr ther-re t git wnr-rm. Tho men takes their plper-ra just the samo an' laves tnelr pennies." "Whero docs ho live?" demanded Prlscllla Imperatively. Tho man pointed to a dingy looking tenement house next door to the em ployment office. To his utter amaze- ment, Prlscllla stooped down, gathered tho whining wnlf In her arms, wrap ped her fur boa around him and walk ed toward the house with her burden. From the curious tenants she soon found out which particular door led Into tho child's homo. The key wns hanging lu a dark corner near by. Once Inside, Prlscllla laid tho child down on a broken, disorderly bed and then shivered as sho stood helpless lu tho gloom and chill of tho place. There was neither tire, fuel nor food. Prlscllla knelt dowu beside the child and chafed his little cold hands till there was some degree of warmth In them. Then sho summoned up her courage, kuocked nt the door of tho adjoining tlat and begged the womnn who answered to take tho child lu be side her tire while sho herself went out to get food for him. Sho had Just returned with her arms full of bundles when sho bumped into a man In the dark hallway equally Incumbered. An avalancho of paper bags followed. "I beg your pardon," came simul taneously from both. Then as they stooped to tho task of picking up their respectlvo belongings tho man ventured an Inquiry. "Can you tell me whero tho Ilorrl gans live, I wonder?" "I haven't the least Idea," replied Prlscllla. "I'm a stranger hero my self." The commotion bad caused the sud den apparition of several tousled beads from behind half opened doors. In tbo dim light that flickered out Prls cllla, stole an inquisitive look at the man beside her. , "Gerald Hollister!" she exclaimed excitedly and. In ber amazement drop ped all her paper bags again. "Prlscllla Ballad!" ho exclaimed, and his paper bags followed Prisellla's. It is quite probable had- not the squeaking doors stretched their curios ity a bit too far that .Prlscllla ;andiGor Bldtwbul have 'spent the .rest of th I net Ellin r ftnutrm l r11 4lirt tintrvli lirci tlO DIIU ttl H- ft til LA LU1U LIIU ItUlllUUlDf "as If ho was Jim's father that's dead, bless his sowl." Nor was Prisellla's part In tho fairy story perfectly clear, either. However, there was one thing Mrs. Horrlgnn grasped with truo feminine instinct. "You was saying you was looking fr some wan to cook yer New Year's dinner for ye tomorrow miss, nn 1 wnB just ufther thlnkin' if you'd thrust rao"- "Oh, would you help mo out, Mrs. Horrlgan?" begged Prlscllla grate fully. Until this moment Prlscllla In bet excitement hnd forgotten tho utter failure of her domestic quest. "Shu-ro I'll help yo out, miss," re turned Mrs. Horrlgnn, bcnmlng. "Be fore Pat died nn' there was plenty to do wid I could make th best t'ings to nto av any woman yo lvlr saw." "I'm sure of It, Mrs. Ilorrlgau," Ger ald agreed enthusiastically, "but you can't cook anybody else's Now Year's dinner tomorrow. You've got to cook your own. Just look at tho things piled up on the table there, nnd there'll be a fnt turkey waddling over tomorrow. Miss Ballad doesn't need you, Sho and her family nro coming to my houso to dinner." "Why, Gerald!" Interposed Prlscllla incredulously. "Yes, you nro. I Bban't accept any excuses. I wanted you to all tho time, only I didn't daro ask you. Now, let's get started for home and glvo .Mrs. Horrlgan a chanco to hold her own child." As they hurried along In tho fast falling darkness outsido both looked most rcmarknbly happy, oven taking Into account that tomorrow wns to be New Year's day. "Oh, I Just love that llttlo Jim Hor rlgan!" Prlscllla suddenly exclaimed. "Don't you. Gerald?" "Oh, I'm not losing any sleep over him. But there's some ono else that I do love, Prlscllla. What do you say to our announcing our engagement nt dinner tomorrow?" Gerald beamed under tho effulgence of his inspiration and gave Prisellla's hand an ecstatic llttlo squeeze. "I didn't know we were engnged," demurely commented Prlscllla. "But don't you think wo could art range to bo by tomorrow, denrest?" "Well," answorcd Prlscllla conde scendingly, "suppose you como over this evening, and wo'll see what we can do nbout it It's so very sudden. If I should say 'Yes,' Gerald, would you promise to give little Jim Horrl gan a turkey every Now Year?" "Every New Year and birthday and Christmas," promised Gerald indul gently. And Jim got his turkeys. w E TAKE PLEASURE in announcing to the people of Al liance and the public in general that we came West direct from our New York factories with the most beautiful line of up-to-date Dress Skirts, consisting of the finest Imported Voils, Chiffon Panamas, Roger Silks, Taffeta Silks made of the leading fabrics and weaves, cut and made in the very latest! styles, trimmed in the most up-to-date fashion. We call special attention to the workmanship of our skirts. All these Skirts are put on Sale here to be Sold REGARDLESS OF COST OR PRICE as we must turn our Merchandise Into cash. In other words, the price will be no object, as. owing to the un seasonable weather that exists all through the country combined with the stagnation of the money market last fall, we were not able to dispose of our immense stock which we made up for the trade, consequently we are overstocked with goods. And in order to turn all these beautiful and up-to-date skirts into cash we are obliged to sacrifice these goods at a price that will astonish the most economical buyer of the West or any other part of the coun try on the low prices we are going to sell these goods for. We invite the public to come and just examine the styles we carry and the prices we charge. We will be highly pleased to show you around, it makes no difference whether you buy or not Money Refunded If Goods are not Satisfactory sate8baegms Wednesday, June 24, at 116 YAest Wyoming A.ve.

A lady engaged a country girl as geu- eral servant. Ono evening tho lady asked her if she thought Bho could manatro to poach half a dozen eggs for supper. Tho girl quickly and laughing- ly replied that sho could do that right enough. "Very good." said her mistress, "I'll Just see what you can do," and went away. Shortly afterward she had occa sion to speak to tho girl again, but to her great astonishment sho was not to be found In the house. Presently she came tripping In with her hat and jacket on, smiling radiantly. "I've got 'em all right, mum," she said, "half a dozen beauties." "Half a dozen beauties!" repeated her mistress questlonlngly. "What do you mean?" "Eggs, mum." sho said, smiling. "But there are plenty of eggs in tho house, girl, without buying more," re marked her mistress. "Lor, mum. I didn't buy 'em," she said. "You told mo to poach 'em. rind I managed It fln'e.
