Reason For a Limit
pHEWi has been a great dual of
sentiment expressed over the

Ilspeed llmils and leaving the mat
ter to the discretion of the officers,
all speeding to be termed "reckless
"iirlvlng." There Is obvious merit to
that Idea. We all break the speed
laws which are now on the statute

Zi,lio argument that such a law
rijukes us all law breakers Is a rea

DEAR NANCY LEE:
I am a girl of twenty and am
madly in love with a man who
comes every day to the place where
I work, and the more I see him
the stronger my love grows for
him. But this is the catch: I know
hiin in name only. He sees me
every day, but that is all.
Please tell me how I can attract
his attention and make him notice
me. LONGING-. "
LONGING: How In the world can
you be hi love with someone

to you, but probably is totally un

some attention to your own

probably be found there, my
dear. r -
DEAR NANCY LEE:
I am a young girl sixteen
years of age. Recently I met, a
young boy who Is a few years
older than I am. I do not know
his name and he does not know
mine. He tries to attract my
attention and I am not much in
terested lu him because I don't
know anything about hihi. Re
cently I met him on the street; we
spoke and he tried to detain me,
but I eluded him. Was this pro
per? BROWN-EYED BETTY.
BROWN-EYED BETTY: You
made a mistake In talking to
the young man on the street. Na
turally he assumed that you were
the kind of girl who would talk
to a young man without having
been properly introduced. Do not
talk to him on the street or any
where else. If he is the right kind
of young man he will contrive to
get a mutual acquaintance to per
form the office of a formal Intro
duction. LAKE ERIE YIELDS

WHERE'S
T 1 by Carolyn Wells 1
CHAPTER XLVI. -Stone
went off to the station
thence to Nw York, looking
very much elated Indeed.
But the watchers by Emily's bed
side were not elated. There were
moments when they thought she
was really coming back to her ra
tional senses, and then the next in
stant she would be screaming in
hysteria.
Certain thlnes seemed to throw
I her Into a panic of fear.
One was tomato soup. When
the nurse brought her a small bowl
ful for a mld-mornlng lunch, she
flew Into such a spasm of mortal
terror and anguish that the fright
ened attendant ran from the room
with it
She returned to find Emily pant
ing with fright and terror.
But given another sort of soup,
she ate It with relish and seemed
grateful.
"Yes," Doctor Eaton said, told
of the Incident "She will be like
that Until we know what she has
been through, we can give no ex
planation. But doubtless tomato
soup was In some way connected
with her Imprisonment Don't
bring it to her again."
By afternoon Emily was more
tranquil and the nurses began to
feel hope for her ultimate recovery.
Betty came over but was not al
lowed to see her, as it might rouse
memories for which the poor dis
ordered mind .was not -ready.
They arranged that Betty might
look into the room and catch
peep of Emily in a mirror.
But when Betty did this and
Emily by chance cast her eyes
toward the door, the lackluster
gaze and the blank stare so fright
ened Betty that she tell back sob
bing and despairing of Emily's
ever getting better.
"Oh. iPete," she said, later,
"don't tell Rodney, but I know
Emily's mind is gone forever. No
body could look like that and ever
get over It Why, she is mad!
She can never recover."
"Now, now, Betty, don't look at
It like that .Give her time. The
doctors all say it may be a long
siege, but they, think her youth
and strength will pull her
through."
"Oh, I hope so, I do hope so, but
I don't want to see her again
while she's like that . And don't
let Rodney see her. It would haunt
him all his life."
Stone telephoned up that he
would remain in New York over
night, and asked Pete if he had
any further details for him.
But Qibby hadn't, bo a period
of quiet waiting settled down upon
Knollwood.
The family routine went on as
usual. Different ones went ovor
and back to the hospital as they
chose. . ... .
Pearl went frequently, carrying
choice dishes, prepared .by . the
Knollwood cook, which Emily ate
and enjoyed.
No one was allowed to see her,
but reports were willingly given,
and if the more alarming phases
of the case were not given out,
that was better for the inquiring
ones. ...
By Friday afternoon, the nurse
proposed that they bring in Mrs.
iaurence s baby in . the hope
of pleasantly diverting Emily's
thoughts.
But to their amazement, the re
sult was the opposite.
At the sight of the child, Emily
became so violently agitated as to
cause deepest alarm.
The nurse, frightened and re
morseful, tried to quiet her, but
Emily had one of her very worst
attacks of hysteria and afterward,
exhausted and spent, lay moaning,
"the baby that must be the baby"
and it was a long time before
they could make her forget the
child.
"What does. It mean. Doctor?'
the nurse asked, having made a
clean breast of the Incident.
"It means," he said, "that dur
ing the six days ot her imprison
ment, wherever she may have
been. Miss Duane went through
some severe experiences. e shall
never know about it unless she re
covers her mind and can tell us.
But probably there was a baby or
small child involved somehow, as
there must have been tomato soup.
Perhaps other similar matters will
come up. so bring In no outside In
terests of any sort, for anything
may stir up trouble. 1 think there
Is a little improvement, but the
least thing untoward will send her
off again.
So care was taken to introduce
no new factor of any sort They
continued to use the foods thai
Emily had already accepted, and
she saw no one but the attendants
to whom she had become accus
tomed. Stone, returning after two days,
was deeply interested In the story
of Emily's antipathy to the Lau
rence baby, and nodded his head.
"Of course," he said, as If to
himself, "of course, it would be
so.
Hut the explanation to this cryp
tic remark he would not give.
"Don't ask questions now." he
begged of Pete, who was agog to
know the detective's conclusions.
"If Emily comes to herself, all will
be well. If not. that is our trouble,
not the police."
And then the day came when
Kmlly did come to herself.
Doctor Katon arriving one morn
ing saw the light of reason in her
eyes. and. hiding his elation, he
spoke gently lo her.
"How do we feel this morning,
my dear?"
It was Sunday now. and Emily
had been four nishts In the hos
pital, hovering between sanity and
madness.
ltut each twenty-four hours had
shown some slight improvement.
and now the veil had lifted, and.
whelher temporary or permanent
reason was again enthroned.
"I want lo go home." Emily said,
looking at the doctor in a half
daze.
t.nt I Or voice was normal nnd
her eves were clear and under
standing. i
"Yes, my dear, you can go home
EMILV?
whenever you like."
The doctor was a little at a loss
bow to treat this new development,
fearing to deny her anything lest
the startled bird of reason take
flight as suddenly as It had come.
"Now?" Emily asked, still seem
ing rational.
"If you'll take a nice. Ion? nap
first, you may go when you awak
en," the doctor promised her, and
he gave her a draught that en
sured the long nap whatever was
to follow.
So Emily fell Into a deep sleep
and when she awoke It was late
afternoon.
She was refreshed and ,81111 sen
sible and rational.
"Now, can I o home?" she
asked, and though her voice
sounded small and far away, it
was in no way flighty or wander
ing.
"I 'spect so," replied the nurse,
who had had her orders, and Em
ily was made ready for the jour
ney. In an amoutance again, she was
taken back to Knollwood where
she was met by only Aunt Judy
and Pearl, the doctor not yet will
ing to risk the excitement of see
ing Rodney.
Put to bed in her own room and
again given an opiate. Emily slept
quietly all night and next morning
awoke almost her own old self.
"My room," she said, smiling as
she patted the dainty bedclothing
and looked about upon her own
belongings.
"Nurse," she said at last, and
the watching attendant stepped
forward. "I'm a whole lot better."
"Indeed you are. Miss Duane,"
and the nurse spoke with glad
truthfulness.
"I am not quite well yet and I
shall have to rest up a little before
I get up, you know."
"Yes, Indeed. Now , don't talk
any more until you have had some
breakfast."
"All right," and Emily's eyes
closed and she lay very still until
the tray arrived.
As she sipped her cocoa she
seemed to be thinking deeply, and
the nurse became anxious.
"Don't think. Miss Duane, don't
try to think at present. You've
lots of time ahead of you. Take
it easy now. The doctor will be
here soon."
"ery well," and- Emily smiled
again, with that strange newborn
smile of hers that meant returned
sanity and power of thought
"Well, well," said Doctor Eaton,
coming In. "Well, well! Very well
Indeed, I should say. Yon won't
want a doctor much longer, Em
ily." , : -
"No, Doctor Eaton, I don't vant
a doctor. : I want a detective' ; ;
"Bless ; my. soul. You want
what?"
"A detective a first-class detec
tive." , :
"Too easy. That want can be
supplied in a few minutes. But
what do you want with him?"
"I want to tell him things. I've
a lot to tell, and it must be told
to the rigiit person, to somebody
who can take the whole matter in
charge and do what is right and
oest.
"Is your memory clear, Emily?"
"Perfectly clear. I am tired, but
I shall never he able to rest till
tell what I have to tell. . Where's
Rodney? On Uie Bofa?"
She gave one of her old-time ro
guish smiles, and the doctor re
sponded.
"I guess he is. He's there most
ly waiting for you."

"Yes. that's it."

"I'll agree, and as soon as it's

the secretary- of state determines
the amount to write on Judge Fee's
warrant each month.
The constitution provides that
the salaries of judges shall not be
decreased during the period for
which they are elected.
Fee was appointed to succeed
the late Judge O. W. Phelps and

NIAGARA CASCADE
YIELDS BARREL AND
CORPSE OF VICTIM
(Atwclated PrpM lrd Wlrel
NIAGARA FALLS. Ont. July 7.
The body of George Stathakis,
Buffalo Greek chef, who suffocated
in a barrel in which he shot' the
Horseshoe falls, was at an under
taker's todav awaiting claimant-!.
In a sealed cask of oak, re-enforced
with Bteel, he took the plunge
Saturday afternoon. He carried
oxygen sufficient for three hours.
The cask was recovered some 16
hours later, a bit battered and
leaky. Stathakis it'll s"-an-ped
to a mattress he designed as
a buffer. An old turtle Sacred, ha
called it which he carried witn
him was alive. , No Injuries were
apparent
The journey from the cascades,
through the rapids and over the
falls occupied only ten minutes.
Stathakis received a severe batter
ing in the rapids, the craft being
tossed high by the turbulent cur
rent and hurtled over rocks.
The barrel was not thrown clear
but seemed to drop through the
curtain behind the falls. - There it
was held for hours. When it did
appear It was five hours before
rlvermen could catch it and tow It
ashore. It weighed a ton.
Stathakis, who called himself a
philosopher and wrote a treatise on
"The Mysterious Veil of Human
ity." took along paper and pencil to
record hia sensations, but did no
writing in the barrel.
From Portland C. C. Chappel,
