that he should not, for 1 know thst

"I hope you will pe don me. Mr.
Meredith, but 1 must tell you that 1
think you have been very selfish to
leave your sister to the care of
strangers aa you have done all
these years."
“Do you, Miss Dean?"
The qucatlon was coldly Insolent
“Yes, I do You think you're the
most unfortunate man in the world
just because you happened to have
been born with s deformed hand and

“Miss Dean, 1 think you forgot
yourself."
“Perhaps, but 1 am going to tell
you a few unpleasant truths “
"I hardly think so, Miss Dean. 1

"What do you know about your

“I mean that Joan has been left

FAMOUS DETECTIVE BEGAN
Every one in the little town of
Dundee, Illinois, wee excited about
the gang of men who were making
counterfeit money. Some of this
money had actually been found there
in Dundee, aa well as in towns round
about.
Allen Pinkerton, a Scotchman who
had just lately come to America
and had gone to work In Dundee,
listened to all this talk and turned
it over In his mind.
Ever since he was a boy ho had
liked working out all kinds of hard
problems. He never reed any sort
of mystery, but he would try to
bigure out In his own mind how It
had happened. He began saying
to himself, "Now if 1 were making
counterfeit money, I wonder where,
around here, I'd hide?"
He asked questions everywhere.

the thing which promises the moot

therefore hard to get, to what gent-
lemen prefer.

We have juat been to four mar-

tion that we are right on this thing
of gentlemen preferring blondes.
“Why do gentlemen prefer
blondes?’ we ached the manager. .
“Do they? Well, 1 don’t. Prob-
ably I’m not a gentleman."
"Why do gentlemen prefer

“They don’t. At least I don’t. My
