Victoria’s Bathtub Offered for Sale London.-—Queen Victoria's mar ble bath is for sale. Although it cost more than 550 pounds, it can be purchased for 200 pounds. Vv hen Sir Robert Peel was prime Minister, he invited Queen Victoria to stay at Drayton Manor, his mansion near Tamworth, and went to enormous expense in mak ing his home fit to receive his Royal guest. His main attention was directed to the bathroom and he engaged Italian craftsmen to construct a hath cut out of solid block of white marble. The hath was made five feet seven inches long, and as Queen Victoria’s height was gen erally accepted as being under five feet, she had ample room for her ablutions. No one else ha1- ever used the bath, which is still in its original setting. Automobiles outnumber the loco motives, but this does not imply that the majority is always right. DR. DAVID M.

One day a little woman entered the oftiec. “1 did it,” said site. The sheriff »;n about (o arrest her. But he saw it was the murdered man’s wife « % This, however, has nothing to do with the present story. In "They Never Knew,” a young couple are on their honeymoon. The husband is JIMPSON WEED. His wife for-1 merly was PEARL HANDLE. Pearl’s- FATHER objects to the match. He hires two detectives to break it up, MR. and MRS. GUM SHOE. But to no avail. The story’s complicated- PerhafR you’ll understand it. NOW PROCEED CHAPTER XIX As the last installment of this | great serial ended, Jimp and Pearl. Were standing upon the brink of the Grand Canyon. Detective Gumshoe as you may •ertK-rnber, was upon his knee* mak ing love>to Pearl. Perhaps, also, you'll recall the fact that Mrs. Gum had her arms iround our Jimp’s neck, loving hint.! Would it be too much to ask you to remember that Pearl’s father had his pistol in hand and wav vbout to shoot at Jimp? « * * ‘‘Base creature,” growled Pear!, kicking Detective Gum in the eye. 'How dare you make iovc to a married woman in public,” “I couldn’t got yott alone," sob if J were you.'* “Maybe he’ll be killed after a while when he hits the bottom, sobbed; Pearl, glancing at the fall ing Tiffin/!* ataiin, “He’ll have' dense enough to land on his head,’’ said Jimp. “A1.! three of them will. Then they won t be hurt.” Comforted by thin. thought, Pearl felt relieved. .She and Jimp wandered away from the brink of the cany/n. But they planned to return' in time to see their three victim s hit the bottom. ‘‘Hoy/ about renting.a couple of my blooming donkeys'?” said a fel low who just chant; <1 to happen by that way. “What for?” asked Jimp. “That, s what everybody out here,” spoke’the fellow. “What’s the use of being at the Grand Canyon if you don’t rent donkeys?’ The argument sounded reasonable to Jimp and his lovely wife. So, much to the donkeys’ evident disgust, they took a collide. Jimpy managed his all right. But Pearl's feet draggeik She tried putting her feet ir^ the stirrups, but the darling’s knees poked her chin at every step. “This’ll never do,” •fexelifmed she. and fter husband ag/eed It remained for the owner of the donkey to find a way out of the difficulty. He procured two pairs of stilts from some place. When these stilts were strapped upon the donkey’s feet, everything was hunkadory. ; Pearl mounted the donkey. “Gid dy, p,” said she. “Gkldap,” s?.id Jimp to his donkey. The pair trotted off down the road, shouting and laughing like the gay children of nature . they were. "We mustn’t forget to return in bed Detective Gum. Pearl knew Jimp was listening. So she kicked Gum into the Grand Canyon. “Please remove your arms from around my neck just a moment,” whispen d Jimp to Mrs. Gum. ‘‘I wt n't,” cried the old she-devil. “I love you." “I know," said Jimp. “That’s all right. Bur my wife is looking. Ana j besides, my collar button is pinch ing.” By this time Pearl had rushed i over. So she kicked Mrs. Gum into | iho Grand Canyon. Pearl's father-confronted the I lovers. "You kicked my two best ' detectives into the Grand Canyon,” said he. And as he said it he • pointed an accusing pistol at Jimp “Your daughter did it,” admitted i Jimp. i “Then, I'll shoot her husband. That’s make her sorry she was so hasty,” cried the old man, the blooming scoundrel. But befrrp ho could shoot. Jimp ; war. upon him. So Jimp kicked him | 'nto tho Grand Canyon. I Leaning over the side. Pearl ana Jimp watched thetr victims fall. I Down down, rfowrt, they went, i “It'll be quite some time before they hit the bottom,” said Jimp. “Ye*.” said Pearl, who felt downright sorry for her falling old i 'maa. She was so grieved she picked ■ a few' wild flowers and threw into I the canyon after him. < Jimp was a careful husband. He i noticed all the little details. He haa 1 lived with Pearl so long he sensed i she was worried, j “Don’t worry,” said he, taking his lovely bride in his arms. “1 j wouldj’t worry about your father time to s'l'c father hit the .Bottom of the canyon,” Pearl called over her shoulder to Jimp. “I’ll remember,” answered the young husband. And kreWir'g his beast in the r-ibs^he fenced the ani mal to overtake the slender youhj* reed who was his wife. “I’ll race you,” said he to her. “That’s a go,” cried Pearl. And away they went. But it wasn’t ouite fair. Pearls drnkey was on stilts and won easily. Jimp turned a curve in the road and found her waiting for him. The lovely girl was sweating pro fusely. “We’d better go back now,” sug gested the husbatia. “Your father and the two detectives should be hitting the fcottonf Of .the canyon soon. It’s been about an hour sinee we kicked them over the brink.” Hurrying back to the spot where the fight had boon, they looked into the canyon. They were just in time to see the three falling fig ures hit the bottom and get up and walk away. “TheyYe safe,"- amiledj?eapJJ;All three are safe. I knew father would have sense enough to lagd upon his head, but I didn’t know about De tective and Mrs. Gumshoe.” “Anyway, they won’t bother us for a while,” laughed her husband. “It’ll take them a long time to get out of the canyon.” “Here’s my three donkeys,” said the fellow from whom Jimp and Pearl had rented the animals, sauntering up. ! “Your three donkeys?” exclaim, ■ ed Pearl, clearly puzzled. “We have only two of your donkeys.” i “You have three," said the fel low. “I see them. Pearl laughed and laughed, and laughed. While she knew he hnd mistaken her husband for one of his donkeys, she wasn’t offended. She often made the same mistake herself. N His error was soon explained to him and he joined Pearl in he,, mirth. “I thought ^sure your hus band was"one of’my animals,” sain he, chuckling as he departed. * <1 ff Their private airplane had been circling around overhead, so Jimp signalled the chauffeur. The ma chine landed nearby “Where shall we go?” asked the young husband. “I’ve got to go back to Chicago,” replied his beautiful Wife. “I left my powder puff in the hotel there.” 'Hang the powder pun, ex claimed Jimp, who had three mil lion dollars in his hip pocket. “Have you ever been to the north pole?" “No, I haven’t,” said the girl. “And I owe it a visit.-You know it came and spent last winter with us. in Ohio.’’ “Then let’s go,” said Jimpy, opening the door to the airplane. “Jimp! Do you realize we have n’t sent any post cards back to the folks in Omeomy, Ohio?” “That’s right. I forgot it. And I doubt if we can get any at the north pole. It might be night when we arrive there. Then all the drug stores would be closed. And their nights are six months long.” “Hadn’t we better drop by Yellowstone Park and get some?” asked the darling wife. “Yellowstone Park.” said Jimp to the chauffeur as he threw his wife into the plane. “Yes, sir! Yellowstone Park, sir.’ replied the aviator, stepping on the gas. The plane started with a jerk. Jimp and Pearl were thrown into their seats. Jimp looked at Pearl. Pearl looked at Jimp. Both had pained expressions on their faces. They squirmed uneasily. As the plane rose into the air, Pearl burst into tears. ‘Jimp,” she cried, “I can’t sit «-.n•/ longer. That donkey was the first horse I have been on in years.” “Same here,” sobbed Jimp. “But we can’t get up. The wind would knock us out of the plane.” “Even that would be better than sitting,” wept the darling girl in great distress. She stood up. The plane was 2J00 feet in the air. The wind caught out Pearl .and she fell over the sale. (To be continued.) 1G7ST00EIM ;.i; BOW SPRINGS Musical Program is Rendered. Foot ! ball Boys Practicing. Working in the Sewing Room.
