Keep Your Eye On These Boys I know most all the school boys of Loup City, I know them ranging from kids to young man. I have two of these young men spotted who are on the road to make good. They have three re quisites for success, a mighty al liance, an entente hard to break honesty, industry and a smile. Both young men are from large families with first rate parents. I meet these two every day in my rounds and they always impress me with their pleasant greeting, clean cut manner and evident in tent on getting somewhere. They don’t shuffle along the street but seem to place a value on time. I have never seen them loafing at the wrong time nor place. Their companions are of their own kind. No I wouldn’t men tion their names for any-thing but they can be seen every day if you follow these ■ hints. They stand out in contrast with loafers, moochers, game sports, mashers, and side walk shamblers, they stand apart, examples of America’s best asset. Anon. Showing Some Good Pictures The picture shows being given this week at the Dreamland are among the very best ever shown in this city. Monday night’s pic ture was “The Judgment of the Jungle.” a most realistic and in tense thriller, and just could not have been any better.

' * i School Wear Every Day Wear All Kinds of Wear BUY BLACK CAT HOISERY R. L. ARTHUR | SECOND MRS.VANDERVELT| 4 — b V V •t< By A. H. LAIDLAW. *5 v y “Mm. Vandervelt will be down in a few moments, sir," the servant said, as she ushered the visitor Into the drawing room. Vandervelt gazed about the room and his eyes reBted on a photograph lying on the table. It was the por trait of his divorced wife—the woman who "would be down in a few mo ments.” "A picture of her," he muttered, with a wistful, but hopeless look in his eyes. He still loved her—yes. loved her more than ever before—but he knew now that this folly had built a barrier between them that could never be torn asunder. “A picture of her—just as she looked when I last saw her; at least, Just as she would have looked had she been happy. How she must hate ma now. God knows, I deserve the hate.” The man who had once been strong and brave and reckless dropped Into an armchair beside the table and buried his face in his hands. Mrs. Vandervelt entered and looked upon the picture of despair. She stepped lightl}’, and so deeply engrossed was he in his bitter thoughts that Vander velt did not hear her ae she ap proached. “Allen," she said, softly, her voice quivering, as she put her hand on his head and stroked his hair. Vandervelt started violently. He was frightened, so suddenly was he awakened from his meditation, and hounded from the chair as he would have leaped from s railway track to escape death beneath the wheels of an approaching train. "Allen.” she finally said again in a voice tremulous with emotion, "you —you—come back to—to—" "Ask your forgiveness," he supplied. "—— to stay?” she finished. “To ask your forgiveness,” he re peated. He took a step forward, looked up at her and burst forth pas sionately: "Margaret, 1 want you to listen to my confession. God, how wrong I’va been. I—" one) put up u«r irauu auu buuub um head and he stopped. 'Don’t,” she said. “Please don’t tell me. Let me spare you that—and myself. I could not listen to any con fession. I forgive you without the confession. 1 know you# did not love— that other woman. You did not love her—did you, Allen?" Vandervelt Replied brokenly and re morsefully: “No. I did not love her. It was merely Infatuation—a false infatua tion. I never loved any woman but you.” “I knew It I knew It,” she contin ued. “I knew you would come back —and everything would be all right We can begin over again and we can be so happy, for I love you eo—I love you to—” A light of happiness had sprung into her eyes as she spoke, and she rushed toward him and put her arms about his neck. “Allen, I forgive you,” and she kissed him. He could not respond and he could not resist. He was power less and stood motionless, almost limp, with eyes cast toward the floor. His attitude produced a frightened light In her eyes, and she drew away from him as she released him. “Ota, I had forgotten the divorce,” she said, “I had forgotten the divorce. We are not husband and wife. What folly that divorce was.” Then the look of fright disappeared and she almost laughed as she con tinued: “But Jfter all, that need not be a barrier, Allen. We can be lovers again, and you can ask me to many you as you did that beautiful after noon In the rose garden—at father’s and mother’s—that sweet, beautiful afternoon. And I can say ‘Yes,’ and then—and then— Oh, Allen, we can bury the past. Can’t we, Allen, dear?” She had put her arms about his neck ugaln and spoke with passionate ap peal. Vandervelt broke away from her and broke into a sob as he bitterly exclaimed, pacing the-floor: “Why did I ever come back? I have returned only to torture you* I might have known—you could not know.” “What do you mean?” The look of fright again appeared in her eyes and again she brushed her hand across her face. “Can’t everything be all right again T” “It can never be,” he continued .bit terly. “It can never be. I am a mar ried man. Oh, why did I ever do it?” She gave a startled cry and tottered as both hands went to her head. She would have fallen had he not caught her and assisted her to th» arm chair. “Then—yon—married—her?” Her lipa quivered violently. “She—4a— your—wife and ta—MvingT” “And you—didn’t—come—back to —etay?" "No. I came for your fogivenesn. I had to have it. I couldn’t live any longer without it—and I thought 1 might get to see the boy.” “You—you have—my forgiveness— now leave me—please.” Vandervelt left the house silently, filled with the mental anguish and re morse he had hoped would be partly obliterated by her forgiveness. Ample Prcof. “I suppose you consider your vaca tion a success?” “Sure. I got a coat of tan, was dou ble-crossed by a fair female and spent all my money.” Not Worried About That.
