Read The Guide Jyatherine Ecialman □>N CARLTON gripped the wheel tightly as the car plowed a zig zag path through the mire of the country road. What a fool he had been to allow him self to he talked into tak ing the short cut between Webster and Holton! But he had been in such a hurry to get back to Chicago to join with the crowd in welcoming in the New Year. If only he had made sufficient inquiry lie could have found out about this awful detour. He hadn't thought there were any roads left that were quite so bad, and he couldn't have foreseen the quick and annoying thaw that had set Id. Down the steep grade the tiig car careened—now on one side of the road, now on the other, lie couldn’t hold It to the ruts. It got more and more beyond his control every minute —until finally the left rear wheel slid Into the heavy three-foot bank at the side. Don made a sound that was almost a groan. He was beyond speech for the moment. Could anything be worse? Marooned in the dark on a country road, and on New Year's Eve! As hungry as a hawk, without even a aandwich to bite on. Hang it all, any way! Why hadn’t he used a little common sense? Stumbling out of his seat, he stood upon the running hoard for a moment. There didn't seem to be a thing that he could do. The heavy night was all around him, and there probably wasn’t a house within miles. But there was! For the friendly light of a Christmas candle was blink ing at him from the window of a small eottage that stood back some distance from the road! Braving the sticky mud that made walking so difficult, Don approached the honse and knocked. “I—I beg your parden for bother ing you,” he said apologetically, “but mj car got stalled out In front and I *1—I Beg Your Pardon for Bothering You.” thought maybe I could use your tele phone.” There was something likable in the face of the lad standing inside the door. “I'm sorry, we’ve got no phone, mister, but—but I know mam would be glad to have you come In. Wouldn’t you, mam?” He turned toward a slen der and charming dark-haired woman as he spoke. “Why, of course,” she said, with a smile. ‘‘We’re always glad to assist a stranger, and—and we can fix you something to eat, and you can stay here until some one comes along to help you.” Soon the appetizing odors of ham and eggs and coffee filled the room. Don inhaled the fragrance while he talked to the children. He found the other three Just as pleasant as the boy ■who had opened the door. There was something especially likable about them all. Don did a lot of thinking while he ate the delicious meal. His sharp eyes had taken in the situation at a glance. There was poverty In the little home —not the kind that shows itself to the world unashamed—but the shabby re finement. A few new toys of the cheap est kind were the only things to show that Christmas had come to the little family. He thought with a thrill of the pack age that lay under the back seat of his car. He was glad now that a mis take had been made on the shipment to the Nelson Stores and they had asked him to bring the things into the factory branch for credit But Instead of going to the factory branch, be made up his mind that the contents of the package would remain in the Dalton cottage. And he felt quite sure that he was going to have a let more fun out of the thing he was going to do than he ever could hare celebrating the New Tear with his bachelor friends In Chicago. An hour later, after help had come along, and while he wag being towed to the highway, there echoed in his ears above the plop-plop of the horses* feet, the hearty thanks and good wishes for a happy New Tear that the Dalton family had repeated with such sincerity. And he felt tjiat such good wishes mast come true. A nit, WMUra Nompopw Dkks, “KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES” r ' ..—■ "■■■ ■ 1 ■ i j H©! vou CERTAINLY CANNOT <50 oar and play POKER THIS EVENING!!

What did John care about New Year’s wild parties, conventionalities and the like? Now it did look like he was destined to forego the pleasure, and exchange Plato and Socrates for an evening of worthless nonsense. He sauntered to the door with a scowl of disapproval. There stood a delivery boy who hurriedly thrust a parcel into the hands of the much sur prised Mr. Bachelor, and was gone be fore he could utter a word. The stores on New Year's Eve were too busy to waste any time in delivery, aa the young people were anxious to be finished and at home dressing for the greatest celebration of all the year. What on earth? thought John; prob ably a practical joke by some of his friends, for when he opened the par cel out fell a pair of golden slippers— perfect Number 4. Kicking them out of his way, he returned to his study entirely forgptting the incident. Meanwhile there was great commo tion In the apartment above. Lucia Bell, the pretty radio entertainer, was waiting Impatiently for the delivery of her dancing slippers. She was to be at the Studio ball at nine o'clock and | it was almost that now. Out of breath, she rushed to the suite below and again John Ellers heard his doorbell ring. What now? thought John, in disgust as he overturned the whole volume of little blue books, lost one of his slip pers and spilled cigar ashes over the rug. He swung the door open with a jerk, prepared to give the intruder a piece of his mind! There stood Lucia Bell, demure and. lovely Jn her excitement. Just as she was about to speak she spied her golden slippers. With a look of surprise she said sweetly, “May I have my slippers?" John forgot all about “little blue books," bachelorhood, conventionali ties, doorbells on New Year’s Eve— everything! And then he helped “Cin derella” into her slippers. He was simply John Eilers, serving the beau tiful Lucia Bell, and all because of a pair of slippers that had gone astray. ©. 1111, Western Newspaper Union.

He quoted as fol lows from Lincoln’s speeeh, delivered in Springfield, March 9. 1832: Attacks “Loan Sharks.” ON ltOAD BUILDING—“That the poorest and most thinly populated counties would be benefited by the opening of good roads is what no per son will deny. Yet it is folly to un dertake works of this or any other kind without first knowing that we are able to finish them, as half finished work generally proves to be labor lost.” ON PUBLIC EDUCATION—-That every man may receive at least a mod erate education, and thereby be en abled tc read the histories of his own and other countries, by which he may duly appreciate the value of our free institutions, appears to be an object of vital importance. For my part, I desire to see the time when education —and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise, and Industry—shall become much morr general than at present.” ON USURY—"It seems that we are never to have an end to this baneful and corroding system (loaning money at exorbitant rate of interest), unless there hi a law made fixing the limits of usury.” Regarding the railroads-versus-wa I terways controversy, Lincoln favored improvements on the Sangamon river so that it would he available for trans portation mi lie# than the project of building a railroad,” Doctor Warren said. " 1 »ui his argument was solely because I he former project was less expensive. “This tirsl address of the man who was destined in less than 30 years to become President of the United States was brief and almost excessively mod est for a man seeking effice.
