POLICE UNO FI LAOS DRAW FOR VACATION DAYS 15 Men on Force and 20 in Department ‘At Ease’ Year Round, As the month of June approaches and the cooler weather is on the wane, the general public is again confronted with that perplexing question of when, where, how long and how much, while thinking of vacations. Not so, however, with the local Are and police departments, for when the month of nuptials arrives they have completed nearly half of their vacation time. Although the schedule in use by both departments is practically the same, the fire department has twen-ty-four fifteen-day vacation periods, while the police department has twenty-three. The last fifteen days in December is the police department’s vacation from vacations. Fifteen Off at a Time An average of fifteen men are on vacations in the police department all the time while the fire fighters have approximately twenty “at ease.” During the latter part of the year slips numbering from one to twentythree or made out and the drawing begins. In the sealed envelopes there are placed numerous slips bearing the number 1, a equal amount of number 2's, 3’s and etc. A man drawing number one will have to take the first fifteen day period in January, the man drawing the number two will take the latter half. etc. The same system of drawing is employed by the fire department. Wow! Thirty Days in a How Old-timers at police headquarters recall Instances where a policeman had just completed his vacation on the fifteenth of December and then after the drawing for the new year obtained the first fifteen days in January for his vacation in the coming year. One officer who some time ago left the force due to a severe attack of politicalitis had the distinction of obtaining the first half of July for six successive times. Other old-timers say that they have had their vacations in nearly every 1 month of the. year, but that what difference did it make, “a vacation is a vacation, no matter when it comes.” Audubon Society Elects Frank C. Evans of Crawfor isville, Ind., is the new head of the Indiana Audubon Society. Other officers elected Saturday at the Lincoln are: Dr. Earl Brooks, Xoblesville, first vice president; Miss Rousseau McClellan, Indianapolis, second vice president: Prof. M. L. Fisher, Lafayette, third vice president, and S. E. Perkins. Indianapolis, secretarytreasurer.

BEGIN lIEKE TODAY . The marriage ol Dolly and Nigol Bretherton proves unhappy. When v. ar is declared, >ug<-l is glad to en list. He leaves Dolly in the care of Nary Furuival. Niffel is killed and Dolly marries an old sweetheart ana sails with him to America. When Nigel's brother. David calls to see Nigel's widow. Mary is ashamed to tell him of Dolly’s marriage. David mistaken Mary for Nigel’s wife and takes her to Red Grange to. live wih Ids aunt. Monty Fisher tens David that he knows that Mary is not Nigel’s wife and David tells him that he found that out long ago. When Mary sees Monty at Red Grange she fears exposure and runs away. David starts out to find Mary. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY fij j I DON’T think it is anything I I I like that, dear,” he said. He I 1 laid his han her trem bling one. “Monty is going to find her for us. Even in London it is not possible to hide forever, you know.” “But vhy should she want to hide?” asked Miss Varney brokenly. “I did my best to make her happy. I am sure I loved her dearly/ As if I could ever be unkind to dear Nigel’s wife!” There was a little pause. The servants had left the room. Then David said suddenly, almost inaudibly: “But she was not Nigel’s wife, dear.”
CHAPTER XLIX Not Nigel’s Wife For a moment Miss Varney stared blankly at her nephew, then she drew herself up with a sort of prim dignity. “Really, David, I don't think it’.3 ciuite nice of you to make jokes like that—if you meant it for a joke,” sho added with gentle rebuke. “Especially at such a time, when we are all so worried and unhappy.” David raised his eyes. There was something in their expression that would have told her without words that what he had said had been spoken in deadly earnest. “I did not mean it for a joke,” he said quietly. “Mary was never Nigel’s wife! It’s all been a —mistake!” He seemed to be choosing his words carefuily; his grave face had paled a little. Miss Varney looked at Fisher helplessly She wondered for a moment

if David’s head were turned; she pushed her chair back a little with a nervous gesture. "David, dear!” "It’s -quite true. Miss Varney,” Monty Fisher interposed. “David is luite right in what he says. The. lady who has been staying here with you is not, and never was, Nigel’s wife!” There was a tragic silence. "I don’t understand! You look as if you are speaking the truth, both of you. But—oh, it can’t bo true! She would never have deceived us so! Why, she told me herself how dearly she loved Nigel; how all her happintss died when he died.” "That is true enough,” said David. “I believe she did love Nigel, but she was never his wife.” He smiled a little, meeting Miss Varney’s puzzled eyes. “I can’t explain things any better to you, dear,” he went on, “because I don’t know the true explanation myself. But when we find Mary ” “We may never find her,” said Miss Varney chokingly. “Oh, poor child —poor child! David, is this why she ran away?” “I think it must be. You see, she recognized Monty when he came yesterday; he had known her years ago. I suppose she thought that he would tell me ” He broke off with a feeling of bitter anger against himself. Why had he not let Mary know that he already knew her secret? Why had he allowed her to suffer the torture of fear of didbovery? He had hoped that she would tell him of her own free will. Apparently it had been a vain hope. He was restless and miserable. He told Monty that he should go back to London with him. By early evening both men were at the Fishers' house. “You will stay with us, of course," Monty had said. And David had agreed. He was in no mood for loneliness; he was glad of the offer. _ Dora was amazed to see them. She was vexed that she had not taken more trouble with her appearance that evening; she need not have

minded. David never noticed a woman’s clothes, and Just now his thoughts were too occupied with Mary t oca re for anything else. “And what has brought you to town?" Dora demanded, smiling, into his eyes across the dinner-table. "Anything to do T ith the mysterious telegram?” For a moment David looked puzzled: then h© smiled. "Oh, that! Wo haven’t discovered yet who it Is from.” But did not answer her question, and she did not like to refer to it again. In spite of her protestations that she could manage any man sho chose, she was a little afraid of David. He was too indifferent to her beauty, too heedless of her fascinations.

"MARY IS MISSING —SHE LEFT THE HOUSE TIHS MORNING.” It was only much later, when Monty was going to his room for the night, that she called softly to him across the landing. He went to her at once. “What is all this mystery? Why has David come to town?” He hesitated, then he told her. “Mary is missing—she left the house this morning.” “Missing! What do you mean? Have they quarreled?” There was a touch of eagerness in her voice. Monty shook his head. “No, I am sure they have not. But she has gone. Her bed was not slept in last night.” “But she will come back! How absurd! As if she would run away from a home like that! She knew too well which side her bread was buttered.”

“David does not think she will ever come back.” Her eyes were incredulous. “Monty! How perfectly ridiculous! Os course site will! She stared at him with a frown between I her brows. “What has she done?”* she demanded truculently. "Has she — perhaps she has stolen something?” “Dora!” “Well, you always said she was an adventuress, I should not be surprised if she has done something like that, and David has turned her rat of the house.” “He has not turned her out; he has come to London to try and find her.” The hot color dyed her cheeks; her eyes grew angry. "You are not telling me the who*le truth, you are keeping something back. This woman seems to have bewitched you all. Monty, you are unkind, when you know how interested I am in David. I believe you are helping this woman to take him away from me.” “You don't believe anything of the sort, and if you speak so loudly David will hear.” "I don’t care if he does.” But she lowered her voice. She looked very beautiful, standing there in the uncertain light. Her long, golden hair was unbound and falling below her waist. She wore a loose white wrapper, heavily trimmed with dainty lace, that suited her to perfection. For a moment there was silence, then she burst out with a sort of chagrined triumph. "There is one thing—she can't marry him; she is his brother’s wife! There would be an awful scandal ” Monty frowned. Sometimes, much as he loved and admired his sister, she Jarred his nerves. “A man may marry his brother’s wife if he chooses,” he said. She answered quickly; “But David never would. He would never like the kind of woman Nigel liked. How can you suggest that he would ever take a fancy to a common woman like Nigel’s wife?” “I suggest nothing. It was entirely your own idea.” She made an impatient gesture. “Why does Ye want to find her? Something must have happened. If you don’t tell me, I shall ask David.” “I can’t prevent you." Her mood changed suddenly. She slipped a coaxing hand through his arm. “Monty,, don't you love me any more? You've been so horrid to me lately. Why is it?” He flipped an affectionate arm around “ jher.

"Silly child! Just because I won’t tell you everything you want to know.” She drew away from him. Her eyes were angry again. “Then you are keeping something back from me!" He hesitated, finally he stooped, and brushed her soft cheek with his lips. “I am only keeping it hack for your good." "My good! What rubbish you talk! How can it bo for my good not to tell me things about Nigel’s stupid wife?” There was subdued passion in her voice; she pushed him angrily away. Monty lost his temper; he let her go. “Very well, then, if you Insist, I will tell you. She is not Nigel’s wife —this girl—that is the whole truth!” CHAPTER L “A Woman Scorned” He was sorry as soon as he had spoken. The whiteness of her face touched him. He tried to take back his words or soften them; he began a stumbling explanation, but she cut him short. “Is this true—really true?” He answered miserably that It was. She stood for a moment staring at him with blazing eye>s, then she turned and left him; and be heard the shutting and locking of her door.

He hesitated, not liking to ltv* her, and yet longing to get awayj he listened, hut everything was quiet, and he went softly to his own room. After all, it was Just as well she should know now as later; the shock would only be made worse by delay. But behind her locked door Dora Fisher stood with clenched hands, and blue eyea blazing In her White face. Bitter pealousy set her heart on fire; not Jealousy because she loved David, but Jealously to think that another woman, not so beautiful or fascinating, should have succeeded where she herself had failed.
