Thninaa leaves Saturday night Jcr STew York, to buy Spring pu'ds for his store. In Memory. Almighty God has come and plucked the bright blossom from the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Morse, their darling Maria, for a purpose none of us dare divine. He alone can pour balm upon the crashed hearts. The holy joy is theirs of knowing angel eyes now watch for their coming, and that their loving daughter will receive them when "Life's dark day has come." In their present state of mind they doubtless feel that if they cquld call her back to life they would gladly do so. Perhaps the time may come I hope it may when they shall think of her as one who has escaped much suffering, pain, and heart aches all in the providence of God. As one who has been taken in the innocence of child hood to the bosom of her father, ! not exposed to any temptations not guilty of any sin, and there fore secure tor evermore. If this thought cannot comfort the bereaved nothing else can. It is well with the child. J. R. Dawkins. See W. E. McNair furniture store window for elegant solid walnut dining room set. A beaut. -W.E. McNair. The Indelible Clue (. 1 .'21. t The Wheeler SyudicaU.) "Lauding the counterfeits is all well and good, but where dt.es It get us if we don't know who made them?" The speaker, William J. Burnt, then connected with the United States secret service, glanced up from his examination of a large sofa which his associates had stopped just as it was on the point of being shipped from New York to Costa Rica a sofa which was stuffed, not with wool or hair, but with $2,000,000 worth of counterfeit Costa Rlcan money, destined to finance a Latin-American revolution. So far as the men who had been working on the case had been able to discover, there was Do way in which to trace the shipment. It had been brought to the dock in nn ordinary dray which, having unloaded its bur den, had driven off, to be lost among thousands of others of its kind in the streets of New York. Of the men who had shipped the sofa, the men re sponsible for counterfeiting the cur rency of a friendly nation, there was no indication whatever. Rut Burns made a careful, almost microscopic, examination of the bur lap with which the furniture had been wrapped. Down in one coiner, batf ohllterated, he discovered a peculiar mark the DUtUerals "12 XX G4" Which the detective rightly presumed re ferred in some way to the. manufac turers of the fabric. Inquiry through trade channels brought the information that burlap of that kind, hearing the "XX" mark, was sold by only one concern in the Fast. Rut even that discovery didn't bring Burns much closer to bis quarry, for the books of the firm in question showed that more than 2,000 dealers had purchased "XX" burlap within the past year. One by one these dealers were eliminated, until only six re mained. Among these was a furnltute house in Long Island City and when that store opened for business on the following morning a square-jawed, stoekily-bullt man of medium height entered and asked to see the manager. "My name is Burns," he stated, flip ping back the lapel of bis coat In Bucb a way ns to afford a glimpse of hi secret service badge. "I would lilo? to have the opportunity of looking at the stock of burlap which you hnvo on hand at the present time, in order to assist the government In running down a case of considerable ImpAf tance." Rut right there the man who solvof many mysteries ran Into a snag. Noil' of the burlap bore the "- XX 64" mark, The "XX" was there, but the inimcr als were all different. "When did you get this stock InT' asked the detective. "About a month ago." was the reply "Have you any of the former mate rial on hand?" The manager wa inclined to thin!; not, but a careful search of the ware, house brought to llglit a single piece of the former supply and there, In tho corner, was the clue that Rums had hoped to 11ml the indelible "2 XX 04." "Now." snapped the secret service man, "if you will let me see your books for the past three or four months, I won't bother you any longer." That same afternoon Burns and two of his associates rang the hell of a house in Brooklyn occupied by a Mrs. Loni, who was, according to the clerk who had made the sale, "a SpanisH woman who Insisted upon buying a sofa of a certain kind, well padded and heavily stuffed." The sofa an swered the description of tha one which was being held at the wharf, anil the very fact thnt the purchaser had been Spanish added the final con necting link. But, In order to avoid any possible slipup, Burns located the expressman who had taken the furni ture from the Loni house t the deck a feat which was far from difficult once he had a clue to the location of the home of the counterfeiters. As he had expected, Mrs. Loni dls clairuefl any knowledge of the ship ment and fell back upon n professed lack of understanding of English to holster up her position. To her amaze ment, the detective replied Jn fluent Spanish, Informing her that he had all the facts In the case the statement of the clerk who had sold the sofa, the expressman, who had carted It to the dock and the fact that he had seen with his own eyes $2,000,000 In coun terfeit bills taken from the piece of furniture. "This house Is surrounded," con cluded Burns. "I've got my hand on my gun and I'm going to stay right here until I land the men w ho made that money if it takes me" but It didn't take as long as he had objected, for, as he spoke, the woman's sotvin law, Rlcardo de Requesans, stopped Into the room and admitted that he and another Spaniard had been re sponsible for making and planting the counterfeits. "The next time you try to pull off anything of the kind," Burn said ns he took them Into custody, "be careful of the markings on the burlap you use. Overlooking details of that kind Is likely to cost you several year? 'n &e penitentiary I" fik : ' In the Movies. "We had a flnc old lady to repre sent Barbara Frletchle, at least we asked her to help us out. But she lacked the spirit of the original Bar bara." "How 5,0?"

"I simply can't bear to hear any more about it." "Since when are such subjects too frivolous for your ears?" queried Bes sie, raising her eyebrows and look ing up from iier fancy work. "Espe cially when in all your finery and glory you most likely will lead the grand march with Frank." "Nothing of the kind," answered Alice in a I-dou"t-care-what-happens lone. "Didn't you have a new gown for the occasion" "Yes, and I'll wear It if only to show some people that I can't be stunned by their audacity." "Rut if you're not going with Flank, who is?" "Bella Johnson." "Bessie, when a young man talks to you about a dance and asks your opinion on all details, and then at the eleventh hour asks another girl, do you think he can ever justify his con duct?" asked Alice. "No. and I simply can't understa' it," admitted Bessie. "Are yon sure?" "Posltiieiy. i and I met Prank on tlie . li came towards us In his usual cordial way, ami stopped to say in Bella, 'I'm going to take you to the "Kntre Nus" affair.' Bella must have bad some Inkling, as she didn't appear surprised, and only said: 'I thank you; what time will you call for me?' "For a moment I felt the keen insult that be should Invite her In my pres ence, and then I said: 'I'm going with Edwin Upton.' You know Edwin is always pestering me to go with him, so I knew 1 could rely upon his taking me. We left Frank at the corner, and though I was the one to be offend ed, he doesn't even bow to me when we pass each other by." "Edwin Is much shorter than you ; don't you feel like a giantess when you're with him?" "Well." said Alice. "It came to me like a flash that I wouldn't give either one of them the satisfaction thnt 1 couldn't go, and anyway a llt,tle man with loads of money is better than no man at all." "That's philosophical enough, my dear, but don't get a bad case of glooms over it. if Frank Is so fickle and changeable in his affections, it's Letter to know it now than Inter," After Bessie left, the words, "It's better to know IV now," kept ringing In Alice's ears. She tutted to fare the truth thai any man could so lightly throw her friendship aside afler all his professions of sincerity. "I'll not have any ones sympathy," she determined. "At the dunce I'll be the gayest of all." "Why, Alice." exclaimed her friend a few days later, "how much better you look than the last time I saw you ; you are fairly radiant. It must lie your hat. It's so becoming." A faint color rose in Alice's cheek. "Don't blame it all on my hai," she said; "give me credit for a portion of my ood looks." "I just saw Bella and she fulled completely to appreciate Frank's charms," continued Bessie, "and she never was so bored in all her exist ence, that she was the only girl whose partner did not tend her a corsage bouquet, and he never even was con cerned whether her program was filled or not. In fact she said there was no pleasure to go with a young man who was constantly noticing an other girl. Why do you think he asked her and then was so rude?" Alice smiled. "Promise you'll never tell." "He was an unwilling victim. To ward the end of the evening Frank came up to me saying: 'Hope you en joyed yourself.' "Oh, immensely," I replied. "Doesn't your back ache from danc ing with that midget?" he asked In a maddeningly sympathetic way. "Not a bit." I answered. Edwin Is a splendid dancer." "Then you prefer that dwarf's atten tions to mine!" he exclaimed In a jeal ous rage. "Just as much as you prefer Bella to me," I replied. "Rut I don't and never will," he pro tested, looking at me tenderly. "I asked you for tonight, not her." "You asked me? How can you de liberately say that when I heard you Invite her?" "Didn't I look aleou, when I said 'I'm golsg to take you to the dance?' " "Then I laughed and laughed until I could not laugh any more." "Until tlrnt moment I never thought about It. He's cross-eyed, and when he looked at Bella In his own heart and soul he was in reality staring at me. That's where all the trouble came up." "Oh, how disconcerted Bella would be If she knew." "She never will. The best part of our quarrel was the reconciliation." "It's always been my pet aspiration to sec you two married," said Ressie. "Well, voer wish will soon come true." Jk;. "Alice," ?!rS 3Bsie, "won t It be dreadful after jrtu are married If Frank should say loving things to you and look at another woman?" "I won't mind that ever again," de clared Alice vehemently. "Because Frank says all other women look aim to him except me. So there. I" t ; H.-P. Mill Items. Viiss Mattic Austin, who visited friends in Clint. n, S.
