When Miss Martin- gave Jack ‘Elton
her photograph, he little thought that
jt was one of those trifies which some-
times’ go to make the tragedies of
life. i
He put it in his pocket—the thin,
tired face of a middle-aged woman—
close to another, which rested against
his heart. That other was a bonny
face—the face of the girl he loved, an
he was quite unconscious, as he thrust
it away, that the photograph of the
older woman had taken the place of
the younger.
“Well, you can tell her, Jack,” said
Miss Martin, “that I think you're a
lucky man. I always liked Kitty Tre-
vor. I knew her mother years ago, and
somehow, when I saw you together, I
hoped it would come to this. I'm glad
of it, Jack.”
Jack beamed. He and Miss Martin
were good friends. She was not like
the usual run of old maids. She had
the good sense of a man, he often
thought, and occasionally he found
himself addressing her as “my dear
fellow.”
«I'm glad you like her,” he said:
«] should have been sorry if you
hadn’t, and if you and she are good
friends, it will be jelly. I'll give her
your photograph to-morrow.”
He turned away whistling like a
schoolboy, for the world was a pecu-
liarly happy place to him just then.
He was young, and not badly off,
with good prospects—even without
Miss Martin, who said she meant to
leave him her money-—and with the
prettiest girl in the world for his
promised wife. What more could a
man want?
But fate has a nasty way of playing
a man a trick sometimes, and an hour
or two later, as Jack turned into Fifth
avenue, fate played him one.
He came face to face with a man
who stood still when he saw him, and
caught him by the arm.
“Jack Elton, as I live!” he cried.
Jack turned, and then held out his
hand.
“Captain Riley!” he cried. “Why 1
haven’t seen you for years—it must
be five or six.”
The captain nodded. He was a mid-
dle-aged man, tall and thin, and get-
ting gray. Jack thought as he looked
at him that knocking about the world
didn’t seem to agree with ‘him, and
then he remembered that he had dis-
appeared from the club very sudden-
ly five or six years ago, and wonder-
ed if there were anything in the rumor
that there had been something wrong
with him.
Captain Riley, however, did not look
as though he had anything to hide,
and when he suggested that Jack
should turn in with him to the club |
and have a chat, Jack went.
“It’s nearly six years,” said the cap-
tain, “since I went away, and I sup-
pose the world has changed a bit
you?”
Jack’s hand travelled quickly to his
breast pocket.
“Everything,” he said.

nearest his heart, and held it for an

“Well, I hope she'll treat you better |
“Treated you?” he cried, hoarsely.
“What do you mean?”
The captain laughed, and then his |
“I mean,” be said steadily, “that I
meant to marry her once, and I
thought she meant to marry me, but it
appeared she didn’t. She altered her
mind—she jilted me, as 1 afterward
heard she had jilted a dozen men be-
fore me. But you may have better
luck. You're better locking than I
was, and—and—"
Jack looked at him with his face
growing red and hard.
“It is a lie!” he burst out at last.
“It must be a lie! It's impossible!
Engaged to you—" He broke off with a
bitter laugh, and then stared at the
captain’s bronzed face, realizing sud-
denly that he was not such an old man
after all—forty perhaps, that was all;
and he had heard of girls being en-
gaged to men older than themselves.
Young girls liked middle-aged men
sometimes, and Kitty was twenty-five.
How did he know what had happened
before he met her last summer? He
had but known her twelve months.
How did he know really whether she
was the flirt Captain Riley called her
or not?
He hesitated, and the captain rose
also to his feet. .
“you'd better go and ask her wheth-
er it is a lie or not,” he said. “Ask
her why I went away six years ago!
Ask hér—oh, heaven! Ask her if she
didn’t once swear with her arms round
my neck that I was the only man she
ever really cared for, and ask if a
month later she didn’t bid me go
where I would! Ask her—ask her! I
suppose she’s sworn the same thing
to you!”
Jack stood still. He had only been
engaged a week—only seven short
days, and even as he stood there he
could feel the touch of her arms
again, and see her eyes looking into
his—looking so true that a sudden
passion seized him at the captain’s
words.
“It’s a li!” he cried. “But I'll ask
her. I'll go now. She’s true as steel—
I'd stake my life on her.”
The captain laughed again.
“«] was ready to do it once,” he
cried, “and now I wish I'd never seen
her. 1 wish I could forget her. She
could lie a man’s soul away I know,
and yet, if I saw her again—I couldn’e
help it—I should love her still, And
couldn't at once.”
Jack turned on his heel. .
“Well, if you ~an hide a thing like
that, you can hide a dozen other worse
things,” he said in a harsh, hard voice.
“It’s a good thing I found out before
it was too late.”
Kitty darted after him.
“But I don’t understand,” she cried,
breathlessly. ;
He turned again. He saw her bright,
girlish face, her eygs wide and inno-
cent as a child’s, and ne rem=mbered
the captain’s words. “If sze lied to me
now—I couldn’t help it—I should love
ber still.” :
His face hardened.
“I'm deceived in you—that’s all,” he
said, unsteadily. “I thought—you were
different—an¢ I’ve made a mistake.”
He turned and slammed the door be-
hind him, and Kitty, dazed and stupid
because she did not understand, stare”
blankly before her. He surely could
not mean to go because she had not
told him Miss Martin's love story?
He must be mad!
His footsteps echoed on the pave-
ment outside. He strode away quickly
—back to the club, and the fare that
had thrown the captain across his
path earlier in the day put him'there
again.
He was in’a corner of the club read-
ing a paper. and Jack strode up to
him.
“I apologize,” he said, abruptly. “I
called you a liar this morning. For-
give me. You were right, after all.”
The captain looked up. His lips were
set.
“So you asked her?” he said in a low
voice.
Jack nodded. His band traveled to
his breast pocket. He took the photo-
graph and threw it down on the table
in front of the captain.
“’ve done with her,” he cried, sav-
agely. “I—I—I've done with her.”
He turned away unsteadily, and the
captain picked up the photograph. He
1roked at it, then started to his feet.
“llere—I say, Elton, what's this?”
be cried.
Jack looked round.
“I don’t want it,” he said. “Tear it
up. I don’t want to see her face
again.”
Captain Riley went hastily toward
him.
“But this!” he cried. “This girl—
what about her?”
Jack stared.
“I've ended it all,” he said, “or I
suppose I have. I never mean to see
her again.”
The captain shook the piece of card-
board in his face.
“But this isn’t

“Who said it was?” asked Jack.
“he captain looked bewildered. No-
body had said it was, so far as Te
could recollect, and he looked up at
Jack rather doubtfully—as if he w=2re

“But this isn’t the girl you were er-
gaged to, is it?” he asked.
“Of course!” said Jack.
Captain Riley thrust the photograph
into his hands.
“Then take it back,” he said. “It
isn’t the one I meant. I never saw her
before in my life. The photograph you
shewed me this morning was the phe-
toeraph of an older woman, of Miss
Martin, There is a mistake some-
where.”
There was, and when it was clear to
him what he had done, Jack hurried
once more to Kitty.
«1 was an awful fool, Kitty,” he
said. “It might have spoiled both our
lives. I don’t deserve to be forziven.”
“No, you don’t,” said Kitty, “and I

Employe of Pittsburg Bank Charged
. With Abstracting $51,000.

of this city, was arrested on an infor-

aminer William L. Folds, charging |
With the abstraction of $51,000 of |
the bank’s funds. Tiers furnished
bail in the sum of $10,000 for a hear-
ing.
All the money was taken from Feb-
ruary 8, 1906, to July 26, 1906. Shortly
after that time the bank officials
learned of the irregularities and dis-
missed Tiers. He made partial resti-
tution and turned over to the bank
certain collateral, upon which, it is
stated, the institution hoped to real-
ize.
Recently the many bank defalca-
tions occurring in this vicinity result-
ed in orders being received from
Washington, it is said, to prosecute
all such cases and the information
against Tiers was made.
, Since leaving the employ of the
bank Tiers has been engaged in the
real estate business.
TELEPHONE COMBINATION
Nine Companies Join Resources to
“Give Better Service.”
New Wilmington.—The Interstate
Telephone Association, with a capital
stock of $100,000 is to be organized by
merging nine independent telephone
companies in Eastern Ohio and West-
ern Pennsylvania. It will have over
3,500 telephones and 1,000 miles of
wire under its control.
The independent companies are
those of Beaver and North Jackson,

pery Rock, Harrisville, Mt. Air, Black-
town and New Wilmington, Pa. It
is proposed to establish uniform toll
rates and get better accommodations
from the bigger companies.

Judge Holt Decides Against Overtax-
tion of Coal Lands.
Washington.—Judge R. S. Holt of
Beaver county, in the Greene county
court at Waynesburg, practically de-
cided that county assessors have no
right to assess land for ‘values that
may be below the surface. The de-
cision, if upheld by the higher court,
will have the effect of lowering the
assessed valuation of coal lands
throughout the state.
The case on which the decision was
rendered, was an appeal from the val-
uation fixed by the connty commis-
sioners on land of A. T. Adamson. By
the decision of Judge Holt the valua-
tion is reduced from $11,550 to $7,760.

Some men are wise enough to try
new foods and beverages and thems
generous enough to give others the
benefit of their experience. .
A very “conservative” Ills. man,
however, let his’ good wife find out
for herself what a blessing Postum is
to those who are distre8sed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:
“No slave in chains, it seemed to
me, was more helpless than I, a coffee
captive. Yet there were innumerable
warnings—waking from a troubled
sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, attacks
of palpitation of the heart that fright-
ened me. -
“Common sense, reason, and my
better judgment told me that coffee
drinking was the trouble.” At last my
nervous system was so disarranged
that my physician ordered ‘no more
coffee.’
“He knew he was right and he
knew I knew it, too. I capitulated.
Prior to this our family had tried
Postum but disliked it, because, as
we learned later, it was not made
right.
“Determined this time to give
Postum a fair trial, I prepared it ac-
cording to directions on the pkg.—
that is, boiled it 15, minutes after
boiling commenced, obtaining a dark
brown liquid with a rich, snappy
flavour similar to coffee. When
cream and sugar were added it was
not only good but delicious.
“Noting its beneficial effects in me
the rest of the family adopted it—all
except my husband, who would not
admit that coffee hurt him. Several
weeks elapsed during which I drank
Postum two or three times a day,
when, to my surprise, my husband
said: ‘I have decided _ to drink
Postum. Your improvement is so
apparent —you have such fine color—
that I propose to give credit where
credit is due. And now we are
coffee-slaves no longer.”
