RfiD CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF 1 VSV ' " " 'TWAS BY TELEPHONE By CLARISSA MACKIE. l,jdla sat In the library alert to hear j tlie doorbell that would announce Dick Fellowes' arrival or tho sharp whirr of the telephone that might de fer IiIh coming. Something ho had whispered last veiling had hinted at his errand, and tiltii tuna utrlrtti iL'ltli Imr ttnmtaf lciVl for him; and charming In her favorite ' jialo blue gown with a pink rose at her waist, "t!i telephone bell whirred and -ho eard Hlddy's light step as she went ' i i ., , ii . i ni..ni rough the hall o answer 1 e b tb slit; heard the girl's musical Irish ; voice. "You? What never. Mick Doolan. not if 1 never married all my days!" and lllddy slammed up tho receiver, and Lydla heard her heels clicking toward the kitchen. A little smile crinkled the corners of l.ydta's red lips. She had heard from Hlddy of the Importunities of Micky Doolan who waB wild to marry the Ford's pretty maid. Hlddy was quite fascinated by Andre, the chauffeur. who flirted outrageously with her. and so poor Micky who was elevator start- nr in a big ollice building hud been relegated to the backgiound Hut Lydla soon ceased to think of lllddy and her love aftalrs. It wus a pleasanter pastime to dream about her own Hut where wus UleU Followed with his story, now " At ten o'clock Ljdla went softly up stairs and sat with an open book be lore her which she did not lead, ller oyes were more often llxed on the bed Hide telephone. "That is ull over," said I.dia tragic ally as she snapped out her electric light and crept Into bed. That she cried herself to sleep no one knew but liei setr. Up In Kiddy's chambet under the ! mansard roof, another girl was weep ing Into her pillow. The cook had told Biddy that Andre was keeping "steady company" with a French manicurist. "Yes, old Dicky went to Canada on that hunting trip he talked about." bab bled Willio Ulalr In Lydia's pretty pink ear the very next evening. "Went today?" asked Lydla with a dlaey look In her brown eyes. "Yea grouchy as a bear, too. Flem ing sold Dick's girl had given him the mitten you know ho was some sweet on llttlo Alma Raymond?" "No, I didn't know It," answered poor Lydla with a pitiful attempt at a tsmlle. "Yes," went on the gentle gossip amiably. "I put two and two together and the sum I make Is that poor old Dick has been put out of the game, and that explains his sudden depar ture." "How could he leave business at this time?" asked Lydla Indifferently. "Prescott Is taking his place Isn't this our dance?" and Mr. Blair changed tho topic as they circled the ball room in time to the dreamy music of the palm screened orchestra. When Lydla reached home that night lllddy let her into the house and followed her upstairs to her pretty bed room. Lydla sank down In a soft chair and extended one little tslippered foot. "Oh, Biddy, I am so tired," she said with a llttlo catch in her voice. "I'm sorry, Mise Lydla. Shall I bathe them? I'll have the basin ready In a moment." Presently Lydla was com fortable in dressing gown with her pink feet In Biddy's capable hands. Biddy rubbed vigorously while Lydla sat there with closed eyes thinking of what Willie Blair had said about Dick Fellowes and Alma Raymond. It couldn't be true, she told herself, not after what Dick had whispered to her the night before last. A muffled sob startled her and she opened her eyes to see Biddy's hot tears falling on her feet. "Why, Biddy, what Is the matter? Are you in trouble?" asked Lydla sym pathetically. Biddy wiped away the tears and lift ed her reddened eyes. "Excuse me, Miss Lydla, I didn't ought to break down before you but " her voice quavered into silence. "But what, Biddy?" asked Lydla gen tly. Biddy drew a tong sigh. "Men Is deceivers, ma'am," she sobbed. "I am sorry you have found them so," faltered Lydla, startled at this voicing of her own troubled thoughts. "Yes, ma'am." "It Isn't Micky Doolan?" "Partly, ma'am." "And Andre, Biddy?" Biddy's face went Into nor hands, reddened and rough with honest toll, filer shoulders shook with her deep sobs. "It's him mostly, Mlse Lydia, tbegglng your pardon for telling you any troubles, and you that tired after '.your dancing all night but there's no liody but c-c-c-cook to tell, und she warned me against him!" "Tell me nil about it, Hlddy." "There ain't no moro to toll, ma'am. Andre was married this afternoon to a iswell French girl who works In a maul euro place on Twenty-third street. He 'had the Impldence to send c-c-cards to jmo and c-cook." "Never mind, Hlddy. Andre did very wrong to pay attention to you when ho was already engaged, and I know that under tho circumstances you will bo glad to hear that he gave up his posl tlon this morning father says he Is going to operato a toxlcab." "It's so-some comfort to think I won't see his false face no more," flobbed Biddy, as she dried Lydia's lit tlu feet unit tucked them Into bluo satin slippers "Ami how about Mlokj Doolon.

HIdd arose ami looked down at her pretty mlstrohw. There was tellef and shame In her comely face. "Oh. If It was for jou, Miss Lydia. I shall die ol shame, for taking It to myself. Hut his voice was deep and rich like Micky's I will say that for Mick, lie didn't have a squeaky French voice like Andre!" "Never mind, Hlddy, it was a natu rul mistake, and it has helped to make things all right between you and Micky, hasn't it?" "It will, Mls Lydia, If he ever asks me again," returned Biddy, rather dole fully. "He can't help it If he is here all the time." smiled Lydla, drawing the tele phone directory toward her. When she was alone she obtained connection with a hotel In Montreal While sho waited for Dick Fellowes' voice, her heart beat tumultously, and the color came and went in her cheek At last It came, a thin reedy call, "Mr. Fellowes?" she asked. "Yes, who Is It?" came back the an swer. "Lydia Ford. Oh, Dick, did you call me on the telephone Tuesday eve ning?" "You should know that I did," cams a little sharply. "But I never got your message." she cried "What?" he shouted. She repeated the words, and added the Information that Hlddy had re ceived the message and answered It under the Impression that it was from a certain Micky Doolan. "That's all I Just found It out and I wanted you to know," she ended. "Oh, Lydla, darling!" There was nothing sharp about his voice now. "Shall I come homo now?" "If you want to," Bhe cried gladly. "I am waiting for you " "Coming now good-by, sweetheart!" (Copyright. 1913. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Origin of "Yeggman." William A. Plnkerton introduced the word "yeggman" to the knowledge of a world above the gutter about a dozen years ago In an address delivered to the National Bankers' association. He establishes the word as existing in tramp and criminal dialect, therefore in police speech by evil associations, as indicative of a tramp who blows safes and postofflces with the aid of nltro-glycerln, which is known in the same dialect as "the soup." On lest sure ground Mr. Plnkerton credits the name of an eponymic Johnny Yegg, puntatlvely the first or the foremost practitioner of the art. Lets "Hubby" Oo the Riding. "I see you have a Baddle horse now," observed the man In the cafe. "Yes," acknowledged tho other. "My doctor advised me to go In for riding. I've never done any of it be fore." "Do you get a good deal' of amuse ment out of it?" "Well, yes. Hut my wife enjoys ft more than 1 do." "I haven't seen her riding with you." "Oh, she doesn't ride. Sho says it's safer and funnier to sit on a park bench and watch me go by." Cleveland Plain Dealer Modest Start, do you suffragettes "What want, anyhow?"

Hut the very simple colffuies which havo prevailed during the past year have become too tiresoinely popular to suit women of fashion, or women who strive for individuality in dress. They want something new. Therefore, those dlvinltlea that shape our ends (so far as the arrangement of hair Is concerned) have developed souio love ly new coiffures. These truly remarkable and beauti ful styles accommodate the new hat shapes, and at the same time answer tho demand for moro dignified and elaborate hair dressing than the pass iug mode displayed. There are three different styles to be featured. One shows the hair dressed high on top of the head In, another, It is colled low on the crown, SHIRTWAISTS FOR THE FALL. Washable Materials Will Be Favored, With Linen, Duck and Gingham Most Popular. The chic shirtwaist this fall will be washable. "No starch" is the verdict for tho fashionable shirtwaist. Many waists of chiffon will bo worn. Chiffon waists ma be washed if stiffened with a somewhat stronger um water, two teaspoonfuls of the stock solution to a cupful of water. Plain shirtwaists will be worn this fall linen, duck and gingham being popular. Extremely simple cuts aro the rules in shirtwaists. Very close to the man's shirt is tho fall waist for women, elongated shoulder line and short yoko being the rule. Cotton crepe, voile, satin and bro caded waists must all have the short yoke. For a plain tailored waist of linen, madras, pongee or wash silk the yoke may be omitted and the plaits at both front and back run to the shoul der. Stitching: will be made prominent on tailored waists. "Round stitch" will be used on many ot the tailored waists. FOR THE AFTERNOON.

In all the new styles tho hair is not much waved, and In all of them thu ears aro covered. In tho ma jority of coiffures three very short, tiny curls nestln somewhere, either at neck or pooping out from tho knot, or displaying themselves resting on the hair Just above the car. .They aro Just about tho prettiest llttlo finishing touches that can bo Imagined. Women call them "cunning" and perhaps they are; for those little curls appear to rivet the attention of the masculine mind with extraordinary force. By the way, few people reallzo how much men ndmlro pretty styles ot hair dressing and good grooming In tho women they know. JULIA BOTTOMLEV. NET WAIST ALWAYS BECOMING Fashion Had Good Reason for Its Popularity, Which Is Almost Car ting to Continue. There is no doubt that the trans parent waist of cotton net was the leader In the race for popularity. The model In It which sold by the hun dreds and is still In fashion has a long shoulder Beam, slightly gathored, and a looso sleovo that hangs abovo the waist with two box plcatings or lace. Tho long V shaped neck is out lined, and thero Is a lining, also of net, which 1b trimmed across its top edges with a smaller laco pleating. On the majority of these waists thero is ribbon attached to tho lin ing. It is done more or loss well. Sometimes thero are three bands around the figure ending in stiff bows In front; again the top of the lining is gathered Into a two-inch ribbon band which is finished with a large flat bow in front. Tho whole blouse is loose and ap pears to fall from the figure, and the corset cover that goes with it is of chiffon In flesh color trimmed with tiny button roses. Now If the blouse is still selling wherever you are, buy It. It Is unusually becoming. If you don't like the ribbon, take It out, or adjust it to suit your taste. Washing ton Star. Dainty Flowered Hatpins. The methods of making flowered ornamental hatpins is easy. An or dinary hatpin, with a round or pear shaped top, such as Is bought for penny or two, is utilized. Tho bead ot the pin is first Bwathed In wadding, and then covered with colored silk or satin, on which should be em broidered colored beads to represent tho center of the flower. Pieces of ribbon are next taken to form tho petals. Such flowers as popples, daisies and roses aro particularly be coming. The result when finished is eminently satisfactory, and often adds a pleasing dash of color to the gen eral effect. Flower Muff. Have you seen the huge summer muffs made of artificial flowers? They are exceedingly decorative, and aro composed of muny different kinds of blossoms, such as roses, Parma vio lets and orchids. Some of them aro finished with long hanging branches of tho same (lowers. Of courso, they havo come from Paris, whero they were fashioned for evening fetea and gay dinners. Novel Hosiery. Wonderful Ingenuity Is exorcised in the matter of smart hoslory, and for women who like novelties in any form there Is plenty to choose from. Curi ous effects are contrived with atrlpoa In laco or silk stockings, varying from about an eighth of an inch to a Ann hairline. Theso are so cunningly wrought that they gtvo eleganco to tho ungainly ankle. INTERNATIONAL SUNMTSOIOOl Lesson (Uy K O HF.lXi:US, nirortnr of Hwnlng IVtmrttui'iit.

I thy nt'lKhtiiit iin tliVHolf" l.nku 10 ITi Kvury commandment contained in this second table of the law Is comil tloned upon and rooted In that which Is commanded In tho first table, and all has been reiterated In tho Now Testament. V. The Fifth Commandment, v 12. Tho word "honor" while contlned to this commuudment the relation of child to parent is predicated upon man's relation to (lod on tho onn hand and on tho other It Hashes Its light upon every subsequent command. Our duty to (lod Is pre-eminent. If wo neglect or disregard nod's rights, thu rights of man will soon be lost sight of. A duo niul proper regard for thosu to whom wo owe our being Is our llrst obligation and Is hero placed boforu those laws that deal with our tola tlons to outsiders. Hespoot, esteem, obedience ami support are nil a pari of that honor which Is commanded, soo 1'rov l'S; Fph. ti Ml; Matt, lfii-l-tl. Notice also (hat woman's place Is here made oiiuiil to that of tho man. It Is Paul who emphasles the fact that this is tho "first commandment with ptomlse," mid also that to neg lect this duty Is to Invito punishment (I'ph. t;:'.', .1). It Is the business or the child to honor tho parent, no matter what tuny be his character; ho must not sit In Judgment. On tho other hand, tho parent has an obligation to tho child, Eph. 6:4. Human Life Sacred. VI. The 8lxth Commandment, v. 13. This Is a rev 'ttlon of tho sacredness ot human life. Cod alono has the right to take away or command to take away human life. One reason for this Is because we are made In his Image, Gen. 9:6. VII. The Seventh Commandment, v. 14. This commandment deals with tho sanctity of the married relation and indlcatos the sacrodness of parent hood. There is no other sin that so speedily undermines human character and overthrows families, tribes and nations, It is the source of, or leads to, every crime In the calendar. It de molishes tho moral sense, wrocks the body, brings a hell of remorso, misery and despair, and effectually bars man from heaven, I Cor. 6:10, 11; Heb. 13:4; Rev. 22: 1C. VIII. The Eighth Commandment, v, 15. Hero Is a statement which deals with the sacred rights of possession. To take that which rightfully belongs to another is to steal. It does not matter If It be done "within tho law" by withholding a Just compensation or by gambling, It Is Just the same, Dcut. 24:14, 15. This works both ways. Tho employe who steals bis employ er's time, the buyer or tho seller who cheats, lotteries in the church or out ot it, these are forms of stealing In that they take something without ren dering a Just equivalent ot value. IX. The Ninth Commandment, v. 16. Thla commandment recognise the sacred rights of character and insists upon absolute truth as a standard ot Judgment Reputation cannot be passed on from father to son; it is much harder to secure than money and is far more valuable. Backbiting, false slander are not compatible with love for your neighbor. To give wlnga to a bit of saandal you have received Is to violate this law. The Most Severe. X. The Tenth Commandment, v. 17. This Is perhaps the most severs re quirement of any in this second group of laws. The man who keeps this will, readily and easily keep the four which. Immediately precede It. All desire fori those things that belong to another Is! Inconsistent with true love, and In the, light of this law such a desire Is sin, yea, more, it Is Idolatry, Col. 3:5. Hard as it Is there Is, however, a way! to observe It, vis., to "love your neigh bor as yourself." Such love will de sire that he shall have the best things and consequently makes it Impossible for us to covet his possessions. The effect (v. 18) upon the people of this manifestation of God's glory and the giving ot tho law waa that they wero filled with fear and besought Moses rather than God to speak with them. This Is a commentary upon the words of Paul Just referred to, and an illustration of the need of tho law as a revelation of sin. Moses respond ed (v. 20) to their fear with words of assurance, and explained to them that this fear was to prove them that they should not sin. LIfo that Is truly rooted In religion expresses itself In morality of tho highest type. Without right relations with God wo cannot oxpect that chil dren will properly honor their parents, that human life will bo safe, that tho marrlagn relations will bo hold as sacred, that the rights ot property will bo recognized, that truth will be tho basis of Judgment, or that covetous nesa and envy will not bo tho Inspira tion of fraud and wrong doing of all kinds.

The latest can easily be remedied. The French minister of Justice has re ceived an address signed by citizens figuring on the Paris Jury lists, pro testing against tho bare appearance of the courts whore they have to sit. They point out that it tired of look ing at the Judges, counsel, witnesses and other parties to a suit they turn their eyes upon tho walls, nothing but an inartistic paper meets their gase. In order to relievo this deadly mo notony they beg that a print of Prud hon's famous picture, "Justice in Pur suit of Crime," may be hung In each court. anans Eaters. Americans used to be called a natioa of pie eaters. Today a more appro priate term would be a nation of ba nana eaters. The United States takes more than two-thirds of the bananas shipped to the handlers in the world. Part ot this pre-eminence In banaaa consumption Is due to geography; the source of supply on the Caribbean la almost at our doors. Part Is due to accident; a Boston skipper Introduced the American public to this tropical fruit while it was still unknown la Europe. Whatever reason one may choose to give, the United States Is the world's chief banana market, and though the use of this fruit is Increas ing abroad, the American boy remains the Jamaica grower's best friend. THE DOCTOR'S GIFT Food Worth Its Weight In Gold. We usually expect tho doctor to put us on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a paUent something entirely different and the rosults are truly Interesting. "Two years ago," writes this pa tient, "I was a frequent victim of acute Indigestion and biliousness, being al lowed to eat very fow things. One day our family doctor brought mo a small package, saying ho had found some thing for mo to eat. "Ho said it was a food called Grape Nuts and oven as its golden color might suggest It was worth Hb weight in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but consented to try this now food. "Well! It surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation and every day slnco then I havo blessed the good doctor and tho Inventor ot Grape Nuts. "I noticed Improvement at once and In a mouth's time my former spells of Indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt llko a now man.
