I i 1 i . 1 t i The Blot f And How It Was Wiped Out By CLARISSA MACKIE X -H-!-l-H-!-H-!-H-l-!-H-I-:-W-W-H-I-l- The new house was finished. N'o detail had been omitted to make it liouicltkc ns well as beautiful nnd comfortable. Still It lacked something, l'aul Mnlu paced tho terrace, smoking an nftcr luncheon clgnr, pondering why he was not happy and contented after all tho expense and bother ho had endured while building this hand some country homo. Below Falrdalo village lay steeped In the brilliant October sunshine. From lils house on tho hilltop the village looked like a collection of toy houses, quaintly picturesque, without one Jar ring note of ugly line or crudo color ing. raul's eyes lingered on tho village nnd then lifted slowly to the one blot on his landscape. Hidden from view of his own estate because of a project ing spur of the mouutaln, the railroad circled the hill nnd disappeared, a glimmer of shining tracks, through n Kit nmong tho ranges. the railroad was Innocent of otTcnso sn Paul's eyes, but on a strip of hilly land bordering tho tracks, quite In plain view of Paul's windows, was an Immense signboard bearing in six: foot letters an advertisement of "Wind jstiller's Balsam For Coughs nnd Colds." That abomination of black and yellow paint was the blot on Paul Maln'R landscape nnd on his peace of mind. "If I had known that sign was to bo put there I would never have built here. I'll see Coombs aliout It," he de cided, and, whistling up his favorite pointer, ho pulled his cap down over his eyes nnd tramped down tho ave nue to the main road. ne found Lawyer Coombs In nn un responsive mood regarding the sign board. "I dare say; I dare say," replied Mr. Coombs nftcr Taul had stated his case, "but as I understand the situation tho owner of tho property wishes to derive some income from the land. As you are aware, that hill runs sheerly to the tracks below, and it is useless for build ing purposes." "But it Is a blot on my view," per sisted Paul impatiently. "I'm willing to buy the land if necessary to" "You couldn't buy the land, nay dear sir. It Is held In trust nnd cannot be disposed of until a minor has reached his majority, which will be In exactly eighteen years." "Perhaps I'll buy the balsam fac tory," threatened Paul ruefully as ho left the lawyer's ofllce. no went down to tho railroad and skirted the tracks, looking up at the offending signboard with speculntlvo eyes. "I'd like to talk to tho owner of that property," ho pondered thought fully. "Oh, dear!" cried n sweet volco In dis tress. Paul turned quickly. On tho railroad crossing behind him a woman's form was bent in evident perturbation. In stantly ho surmised the cause of tho trouble and wns besldo her In a few swift strides. "You have caught your heel?" he asked quickly. "Yes," she panted nfCrlghtedly, "and n train Ls coming too. Oh, dear!" A shrill whistle echoed from tho cut among the hills, sounding a warning to clear tho track upon which tho womuu stood. Paul bent down, untied the rib bon bow and gently lifted the little silk stockinged foot from Its prison. "Run for your life," ho commnnded briefly, and sho obeyed him. no vainly wrenched at the Imprisoned little shoe, held by its absurdly high heel between tho track and one of the crossing planks, but he could not budgo It, so leaped aside In tlnio to nllow tho trnln, a long string of freight enrs, to pass. Tho second enr tossed tho mangled lit tlo shoe at his feet, nnd ho plnccd it in his pocket. "When tho last car had passed he crossed over to whero tho owner of tho shoe was waiting to thank hltn. For the first tlmo ho really saw her as a matter of fact, for tho first tlmo he really lived from that moment She wns small nnd dainty, with a lovely, flower-llko face, which retained Its youthful beauty nnd charm In spite of tho softly graying brown hair that fluffed under her black hat Sho was gowned in whlto with touches of black, and l'aul surmised that sho was a widow from tho wedding ring on ono littlo whlto hand. I am afraid he would have been bitterly disappointed If ho had found otherwise "How can I thank you?" sho cried gratefully as ho eamo townrd hor. "By allowing mo to nsslst you home," was Paul's gullant reply. "I am afraid you will havo difficulty with only one shoe, but thcro was nothing to do but leave it there." "Oh, I lire qulto near by, and I can tako off the other shoo and get homo nicely, thank you," sho said pleasantly, adding with u littlo toss of color, "If you had not arrived think of what would huvo happened to me!" "Don't think of It. pleaso," said Paul hastily. If you fool faint or 111 per haps I can And you a restoratlvo of some sort I bellcvo theru ls a drug Btoro down tho rond, but my own house Is qulto near." Involuntarily ho glanced upward, nnd hor oyea followed his to tho beautiful home on tho hlllton. I "Never mind getting unythlng," slio Mild hnstily. "I will thank you again nnd go." She held out a little white hand, and for nn instant it wns inclosed in Paul's; then he lifted his hat and left her. Instead of going directly homo he stopped In tho drug store, nnd with his mind still an the blot on his landscape ho asked a question of the druggist. "Who owns that pleco of property on tho other side of the track?" "You menu tho hill where the bill board stands?" "Yes." "Mrs. Covington ls tho owner. Her husband died a couple of years ago nnd left nil of his property to her In trust for a nephew who ls only three years old at the present time. Sho has re cently had the billboard erected there or at least the balsam people have leased the giound from her for the purpose." "Thank you," said Paul Main, nnd he went home. Ho wrote a letter that evening to Mrs. Covington and explained to her whnt n blot that billboard was on his outlook, and as he understood the proi erty was not for sale and thnt the contract could not be bought he ndded an appeal to her sense of the beautiful and her consideration for his feelings on observing the hideous sign from ev ery point of view of his esta. After he had sealed the letter and sent it to the postolllce he felt better and went out to the terrace to smoke, and under tho magic of tho full moon he fell to dreaming of the lovely littlo woman he had saved from death that day and his hand unconsciously strayed to the little slipper In his pocket. The next evening ho received n visit from Mr. Coombs, who looked very much displeased over something and If possible appeared paler and with white hair more upstanding than usual. Paul had him out on the terrace, whero they paced to and fro as they talked. "You've gone and douo It now, Main," said tho lawyer bitterly. "Done what?" demanded Paul, mys tified. "I knew you were a rich man, but I never supposed you to be u screw. It never occurred to me that robbing the widow wns in your line!" "A screw? Robbing the widow what widow? I don't know any widows. I keep away from 'em every timet" ho protested. "You write letters to them," said Coombs testily. "Letters?" repeated Paul vaguely, and then suddenly n light broke over him. "Do you mean airs. Covington?" he asked lamely. "Yes. Man, do you know that It near ly broke that woman's heart to have that signboard put up there, but sho did it to keep body and soul together. Cov ington died nnd left her pretty well off, but all tho property was In trust, be cause I supposo ho was certain she would marry again somo day. A few months ngo sho lost somo securities through a robbery in her house and has been hard pressed for money to live upon. Tho signboard business is mere ly a sop to tho hungry wolf until she can find somo means of earning n liv ing for herself. She talks of tnklng boarders, because sho has a well equip ped house here in Falrdalo." "Sho has been to you?" Paul found voice to ask out of his depth of self condemnation. "Yes. Sho hns ordered me to break the contract with the balsam people and have the board removed. Sho docs not feel that she ought to Impose upon her neighbors In that way." "What can bo dono to make things right?" nsked Paul sharply. "I don't know, If anything, now, only you might go around and tell her as delicately ns posslblo that you think n strapping six footer of a man who doesn't have to worry about the butcher or baker can stand It to gaze upon a black and yellow billboard bet ter than a frail woman can give up tho income derived from said advertise ment Sho is n proud woman, too, Main." "You needn't mnko mo feel llko any less than thirty cents," complained PanL "You ought to bo mudo to feel you think too much about yourself, Main." "You'ro right," admitted Paul, "and now that you've ripped mo to pieces let's huvo n littlo friendly talk about whnt I can do to mnko myself most useful nnd lnoffenslvo In Falrdalo." Tho next day found Paul Main seek ing tho home of Mrs. Amy Covington in Fnlrdnlo vlllnge. Tho Covington place was a pleasant, old fashioned white house set In tho midst of comfortable grounds. Paul's ring at tho doorbell brought hlin fuco to face with tho bluo eyed woman lie ' had rescued two days before "Mrs. Covington?" sho repeated, smll Ing, though ho was sure sho had been J weoplng. "I am Mrs. Covington. Won't : you como In?" Afterward, when ho told Mr. Coombs I nbout tho Interview, ho ndded the story I of tho pretty shoo ho had retained. J "Coombs," ho said thoughtfully, "I I persuaded Mrs. Covington to leavo tho i billboard thcro us a reminder to mo that I am u selfish sort of beast Now I I shall siicnd tho rest of tho year In persuading hor that becauso I saved I her life sho should Intrust Unit pro j clous llfo to mo for better or worso. If I can win her for my wlfo tho wholo landscape can bo dotted with 1 billboards ndvcrtlslug "Wlndmuller's balsam and I shall not carol" "You have It bad, my dear Main," grinned Mr. Cooifibs, rubbing his bauds I delightedly. "As I understand It, thcro will bo no blot upon your landscape If 'you cun po'rsuudo Amy Covington to marry you." "As I understand It," amended Paul Main, "tho only blot on the landscape then will be where sho ls not!" $ CREELMAN ON STAND. ) Civil Service Commiisioner Calls f ) Duckner "Petty, Lying Lawyer." I 1912, by American I'ress Association. The eosslon of the New York oldermnnlo committee which ls probing police graft almost onded In a free-for-all fight when James Creelman, president of tho civil service commission, called Attorney IJuck nor, counsel for the committee, "a petty, lylnjr lawyer." Following this character ization of Mr. Duckner, Creelman turned to ths committee and denounced it ns a "clique of designing Republican politi cians." In the uproar that followed Al Jerman Downing and Creelman shook their fists at one another and cnUed each other ltara until they wero hoarse. MAY BE NEW BECKER STAY.

Mr. Mclntyro said he would Investigate ivhy Lawyer Sullivan advised Sehepps to get out of town. "Despite what the district attorney lays, things nre progressing very nicely In Hot Springs," Mr. Mclntyro added. MWo will obtain testimony there that trill certainly cause the acquittal of Lieutenant Becker."

It wns understood it the crlmlnnl courts building that Act ing District Attorney Moss has failed to make a case against the police. T. R. INVADES SOUTH.

When Colonel Roosevelt left Joplln last night after n spectacular reception hi this towu and i hearty greeting from the people gath ered along the Frisco railroad in south western Missouri he began the most difficult task ho has yet undertaken, thnt of breaking Into the solid Demo cratic south. Tho colonel enjoys the prestige of having pried Missouri from the De mocracy, and tho Progressives In this state believe he has n chance of secur ing Its doctoral vote ngalu. But there are other southern states the colonel will invade, beginning with Oklahoma, town and Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis sippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina in the order named.
