WILLIAMS XI CK0OOOO0KKXOOKO0K 4 I I I I I I I I H I I I I I I I I I I I I I I t- (Si, m, McClur Ne wepaper Syndicate.) I'M Sumner became suspicious the moment he beard the voice over the telephone. "This Is Dorothy WIspert," came the voice. "I was out hiking and fell down and broke my leg. I wish you'd come and get me without letting Dad know. I'm about a bulf mile from the Yellow Creek road, up the Dark Canyon trail Will you come at once?" "Where are you 'phoning?" queried Ed cautiously. "From a place called 'Dad's Cabin' It's a sort of store and place to eat I bad to auk what the name of the place Is. Will you be right out?" "Yes," Ed answered, and hung up the receiver. Ed stood for a moment after this thinking deeply. Dorothy Wlspert was the daughter of the man who em ployed him as chauffeur. Why didn't she want her dad to know about the accident? And why bad her voice been so strained? Undoubtedly the fact that Ed was deeply in love with Dorothy made him keenly atune to any alteration In her voice. And the fact that as a rlvhl for her hand he had dangerous Morti mer Schuyler made him particularly ready to consider anything unusual as being suspicious. So Ed stood silent by the telephone for a few moments considering the situation from every angle. Of one tiling he was sure. Dorothy bad called him and she was In trouble. Accordingly Ed raced from the Wis pert garage, where he had received the message, to the curb In front of the magnificent home where Wlspert's newest and biggest automobile was parked. It took but a short time for the powerful car to make the twenty-mile run on the Yellow Creek road to Dark Canyon. Once at the trail leading up the canyon Ed parked and locked the car and placed a' heavy wrench in his coat pocket to use as a weapon in case of necessity, lie swore at himself for neglecting to bring an automatic pistol with him. Ed's excitement rose as he hurried onward. The trail seemed endless. Would he never reach "Dad's Cabin"? ' Suddenly and unexpectedly Ed swung around the bend In the trail and gaw before bin) an opening in the trees in the midst of which stood a little cabin. And, on the porch, was Dorothy, safe and sound 1 Ed ran toward her with a little clutch at his heart. She rose as he came toward her and he saw that she stood firmly and without help. Her leg was not broken at all. "Oh. Ed," cried Dorothy, as she hur ried off the porch to him, "they made me do it. They threatened terrible things If I didn't do It And I'm so afraid for you I" At the light flashing In her eyes at this Ed felt a great leap of his heart He saw that she cared for him. And In a wild whirl of emotions he caught her to him and kissed her. Rudely they were jerked apart by three men who hurried to them and Ed, wrenching himself partly free and looking around, found himself glaring at the vicious face of Mortimer Schuyler. "No cheap bum like you is going to steal my girl !" snarled Schuyler. "I've got you out here to prove to her you're a coward and a bum. We'll fight It out here, In the open, man to man." Ed turned to see Dorothy straining toward him, but the man holding her jerked her back toward the porch. He turned back again toward Schuyler, and as he did so Schuyler, with some thing which looked like a pocket atom izer, shot a stream of strangely smell ing powder straight Into Ed's face. At once a drowsy feeling swept over Ed. He knew that he had been drugged I ' "Stand up and fight you coward!" cried Schuyler In a voice that was evi dently meant to carry to Dorothy on the porch. "You've been deluding this girl by posing as a hero. Now I'll show you up for what you are. Stand up and fight If you're man enough 1" In a lightning flash Ed saw the pre dicament he was In. If he appealed to Dorothy and told her he'd been drugged, Schuyler would say he was simply a coward and yellow. On the other hand, If he did fight, Schuyler would be sure to knock him out. Whatever he did, It looked to him as though he would lose the girl of his heart Ed, being the real man that he was, chose the man's part Fairly reeling from the effects of the drug and with his strength sapped, he yet stood up. Schuyler made a pass at Ed which he weakly warded off and tried to come back with the sort of a wallop with which, under ordinary circum stances, he could easily have floored Schuyler. But there was no force be hind his punch. Slowly Schuyler now began to bat ter Ed. It was evident to Ed that Schuyler Intended to make It look as though Ed simply couldn't fight at all, Ed saw that Schuyler felt that, with Ed shown up to be a poor fighter, all would be oft between Ed and Dorothy. Time and again Schuyler's blows came home on Ed's face and body. Each blow and the Increasing power of the drug further weakened Ed. How much longer could his dragged body stand op against this punishment? Ed looked weakly toward the porch. Dorothy's look of astonishment brought back some of Ed's usual force and nerve. He gathered himself to gether. He would leap at Schuyler and down him with one blow. Then as Ed waited be vaguely real ized that Schuyler was hitting only with his right hand. Why was this? Ed ready to leap In, found the drug holding him back a second too long. He saw Schuyler's left hand strike out He saw the hand was gloved. And as Schuyler's left hand met bis chin be realized that In the glove was a heavy piece of Iron or steel. All the stars In the sky flashed for a moment In front of Ed's eyes before he toppled over. Tve lost her I" was the thought that flashed through, Ed's mind as be sank into unconsciousness. He opened his eyes suddenly, look ing upward and then closed them again. Surely be was dreaming. But when he again opened his eyes be saw that it was no dream. His head lay on Dorothy's lap, her hand was strok ing his forehead and In her eyes was a light that stirred his very soul. Then he became conscious of an other person standing nearby, ne saw that it was John Wlspert his million aire employer. He got slowly and limply to his feet "I've been a fool I" he said rather humbly to John WlsperL "I might have known you'd never let your daughter marry your chauffeur I" "You're a square fellow," exclaimed Wispert, astonishingly. "I saw this whole affair. I was afraid Schuyler was going io pull something, so I fol lowed him up here. I saw him drug you. You acted like a man. Of course you can marry my daughter. I know Just how you feeL You see, I started life as a cab driver myself Y' Errors in Pronunciation Too Common in America A most commendable effort Is being made to correct tbe too rapidly multi plying errors and corruptions In Eng lish pronunciation, and to gain a larger measure of uniformity In the spoken language. Of this there Is Indeed sore need ; far greater, I should say, than of spelling reform, which too often means deformity, observes Wil lis Fletcher Johnson In the North American Review. Perhaps the greatest evil of speech today is tbe tendency toward what I may call a weakening of tbe vowel sounds, coupled with a disregard of many of these niceties of enunciation which contribute to the vocal coloring of tbe language. The long, full sounds of "a" and "o," and of final "us" are the chief sufferers from weakening. I am no advocate of "mouthing out hol low oes and aes" but the loss to our speech from the abandonment of those orotund sounds may readily be per ceived hi listening for a moment to the utterance. In speech or song, of pure Castlllian, In which those tones predominate. The worst of It Is that this weaken ing of vowel sounds, and consequent loss of dignity, of vigor and of dis tinction Is a fault not merely or chief ly of the illiterate, but even more of those who possess education and pro fess culture. Venetian Glass The chief seat of the manufacture of glass and personal ornaments of the greatest beauty and excellence for many generations was Venice. Much obscurity remains as to when the glass works were first established there, but there can be little doubt that tbe taking of Constantinople in 1204 gave the Venetians the op portunity of acquiring additional knowledge of the art. During the Fourteenth century beads, false stones and Imitations of jewels, rather than cups and the like, seem to have been the chief produc tions of the Venice workman. Venetian glass Is usually of extreme thinness, being nearly always blown, and there Is an endless variety to be found In the shapes and In the ap plication of color, says the Detroit News. Glass-blowing, like throwing clay on the potter's wheel. Induces beautiful curved forms and tenuity of substance, and as a rule Venetian glass Is consistently characterized by adherence to the natural suggestions of tbe material Had Her Puzzled It was an old-fashioned village In County Cork, where a smart young man from London went to spend his holidays. During his stay be played havoc with the hearts of the fair sex. One night In the smoking room of the hotel at which he was staying, he confessed that he had kissed all tbe young women In the village except one. A young farmer, who had quite re cently married the belle of the village, overheard his remark, and went home and told his wife. "Arrah, now Patrick 1" she replied, and a puzzled expression crossed her face, "and who In the worruld can that wan be?" Golfer's Advice "You know her father?" asked the young man. "Yes," replied the golfer. "How shall I speak to him about marrying his daughter?" "Well, I'd do It after the gplf fash ion, entirely after the golf fashion." "What do you mean?" "With a cautiously , studied approach." You Want a Good Position Very well Take the Areonntancy A Ruaineaa ManAg-ement, Private Secretarial. Calculatnr- Comtometor.
