She threw aside her sketching and mounted her pony and set off In chase. Halt a mile away the auto had plowed Its way Into a bank and was at rest. Young Imlay had been thrown out by the collision and suffered a broken leg. He was unconscious until some time after a doctor had looked him over at the manor house. No one knew who he was until his pockets had been searched, and then the father was telephoned to. By the time he arrived the son had gathered up the threads of the case and was ready to say to the Jury; “No use talking, governor. I’ve got it bad!”

Young Harold Imlay of Chester bad graduated in law and been taken into partnership with his father. He was having what he called a little fling before settling down to the stern business of law, and he had an auto to help him out. The auto revolved around the country at various speeds, none of which was less than forty miles an hour.

Women’s Fall Suits

“Anything beside the leg?" “My heart.”

The new suits for fall are made in semi-Empire and cut-away styles, some being plain tailored while others are bound around the edges with braid. The materials most in demand are serges, cheviots, wool eponges, Scottish tweeds, English suitings, two tone and mottled materials and broadcloths, all of which may be had in the most highly approved shades. The trimmings employed closely follow fashion’s dictates. So great is the range of styles and qualities that you may choose a suit at $12 and other varying prices to $35.

"Why—why, I don’t understand that the fall had affected your heart.” “But It has. It’s a case of love at first sight, and the first sight didn’t last more’n halt a second.” "And where Is the girl?"

On a certain morning when It was taken out to scorch up the highway It refused to scorch. In fact. It “went dead.” That’s not so very rare a case. There Is a little something out of kilter and the man that knows how can remedy It In a few minutes. The trouble In this case was that nobody In the village knew how. The clock tinker, the blacksmith, the cobbler and the doctor all diagnosed and prescribed, but without avail. Then a tin peddler came along and hopped off his wagon and fussed for a minute and hopped on again and drove off. The auto was now all right. The young lawyer offered free seats, but they were declined with thanks. It wasn’t their day for dying. The decllncrs saw man and machine disappear down the highway like a cannon ball and felt that It was good to be alive and have dinner coming to them. Very few lawyers take any man’s word for anything, and not one In ten would believe a peddler under oath. Young Imlay hadn’t cut his legal eyeteeth yet, and he fondly believed. He would have said to a Jury that the peddler could have no possible motive In lying to him, and the absence of a motive always raises a big doubt of the guilt of the accused. Perhaps the man did not knowingly He. Perhaps be thought a balky auto could be fixed as easily as a balky wheelbarrow. At any rate, after a run of three miles, young Imlay discovered

“Right here In the house. It was she who found me In the road and bossed the Job of getting me here. Say, governor, she’s a girl of sense! I haven’t had a fair look at her face yet, but I know from her voice that she’s good-looking. I’d have smashed up five cows as well as myself, and the machine If It hadn’t been for the girl.” "We must now get you home,” said the father In very sober tones.

“Governor, when I saw those cows blocking the narrow highway and realized what a butcher shop it would be it the girl didn’t move them on, I vowed to marry her If she did the right thing. She did It, and I’ll keep my word.” “Uni! Urn! I think I can arrange for you to be cared for here for a few days, but my boy, don’t get any fool notions In your head. Remember that you are just entering upon your career as a lawyer.” It was three days later before the patient caught sight of Miss Irene. The doctor had said that It would be better If the young man could remain there for a few days, and Mr. and Mrs. Galbraith had readily consented. A professional nurse had taken charge and the family was not to be put out to any extent. When the young man expressed his thanks In appropriate words he asked of the girl: “How many cows were there?" “Five.” “And how fast was 1 going?" “It looked like two or three hundred miles a minute to me.” “And If I’d struck that bunch of beef at that gait?” “Why—why—”

"My father 'would have had a dead son to bury, wouldn’t he? I just want him to look at the case on Its merits, you know. As a lawyer, he Is naturally biased. If there had been only one cow, now, and she In poor condition, but there were five, and all fit for beef. Father must see that — that—”

on the search for a victim. Just listen to her chatter! It is all about the “perfectly lovely” time that she had yesterday afternoon —• the “elegant” lunch that Jack gave her, his many avowals of love for herself, and (confidentially, of course), that she has allowed him to send her the “magnificent” ring she is wearing today. Then, should you meet her in a week or so, she will have another tale to tell. Jack and she have had a misunderstanding, and she has discovered that she did not really love him, anyway, but—ye Gods and little fishes—there is another ardent suitor whom she claims is the “one man possible.”

See me before dating your sale. I will treat you right.

that ho was flying, and that the machine was beyond his control to stop. Five miles from where the auto started out and half an hour before It did start, a saddled pony was led around to the door of a manor house, and Miss Irene Galbraith mounted and galloped away. Something of an artist she was, and she had her sketch book with her. Two miles down the road she found her subject. Five cows which were running at large contrary to the highway laws were standing In the middle of the dusty road with half-closed eyes and their tails lazily switching at the files. They had arranged themselves as If for a photograph and the girl dismounted and got out her materials. "Honk! Honk! Honk!” Miss Galbraith had heard the sound a thousand times before, but there was a note in this to make her rise to her feet. That bonk was a danger signal. Five rods down was the river. On the other side the highway ascended (or a mile, and at Its crest she saw an auto. In ten seconds she made up her mind that it was a runaway machine. It honked at every fifty feet. Those blasts could only mean; "Look out —clear the road!"

That marriage won’t take place until next Christmas day.

This young lady punctuates her conversation with “And he said to me”—“and he thinks that I”—until her friends regard her departure as a relief, and do not long for her return. Do not imitate her, girls, and if you have the slightest inclination to be like her, for goodness sake turn over a new leaf, and talk about something else besides your own affairs. Have all the merry times you can, have love experiences, but do not tell anyone about it; you may rest assured that when they become really serious the others will recognize it without being told. —Exchange.

The Masachusetts experiment station has found that the total cost of producing milk satisfactory in sanitary quality and containing from four to fire per cent, of butter fat -will usually amount to from four to five cents per quart. The cost of keeping a cow for one year is estimated at fl37.07. Milk produced under more than average sanitary conditions of certified milk will naturally cost considerably more.
