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. Tuesday
night, “The Lion Tamer’s Re
venge,” was even greater in some
respects, the stage effects being
magnificent, especially the scene
at the Tivoli and the home scene
with the lionS loose over the
house endangering the life of the
little girl. Last night was given
“Ten Nights in a Barroom,” said
to be very fine. Manager Lake,
who is here with the series, is a
very pleasant gentleman and fully
understands the kind of pictures
most pleasing to the public eye.
Entirely new pictures will be given
the balance of the week.

“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.
