CONSTABLE'S SALE
A $400,000,000 WASTE
Neglect of automobiles by their
owners costs the United States up-
wards of $400,000,000 a year. This
was the statement of a speaker be-
fore the Society of Automotive En-
gineers in Chicago recently. The
methods by which such a huge fi-
gure was arrived at is not clear, but
it is certain that there is great
waste in this respect. One sees in
the streets cars which show the ef-
fects of years of wear far in excess
of the apparent actual age of the
car. Cars stand at the crub all day
in all weathers, while some owners
let their cars stand in the street all
night. Many automobiles, indeed,
never are under a roof except when
they are in the repair shop.
Not all owners neglect their cars,
it is true. Some use all their indus-
try, spare time, intelligence and me
chanical skill in taking care of their
cars. They spend much of their
time polishing, oiling and taking
them apart and putting them togeth-
er again. Some- men are so interest-
ed in their cars that they are ob-
noxiously lavish with advice to oth-
ers as to how to get more miles to
the gallon and to the tire.
But if we are wasting $400,000,000
a year by neglecting our automobiles
or anything else, the fault is one that
should be corrected. We are an ex-
travagant people, and we can afford
a measure of extravagance, but we
can not afford to spend as much as
we do in buying cars and running
them, and then waste almost half a
billion dollars by neglecting to give
the car the attention it expects.—
Exchange.
The year 1926 ought to be much

They feel languid, half-sick, "blue”

are getting lazy. Neglect of these

is to take a dose or two of Herbine.

EVANGELIST, 94, “SCOLDS"
LAXITY OF YOUNG ONES
Dallas, Feb. 9.—A 94-year-old
minister “scolded" his younger
brethren at the Dallas Methodist
pastors’ meeting Monday. Rev. J.
H. Reynolds, aged evangelist from
Sherman, told the preachers that
Methodism is emphasizing organiza-
tion rather than the saving of souls
The aged preacher spoke as long
as he could stand, declaring that he
had a right to exhort the younger
preachers because lie had helped to
make many of them what they are.
“When Christ said, ‘Go ye into all
the world,’ he didn’t mean to go to
Atlanta to general conferences,”
said Rev. Reynolds. Ho accused
preachers of forgetting their chief
aim of gospel preaching and said ev-
en “amen" is almost gone from the
services.

ther carried out with green candles

PIMPLES CAUSE FOLKS TO
SHRINK FROM ATTENTION
Whenever you go out, you qan’t
help but pity the many folks you see
trying to have a good time, hut are
so shrinking and backward about
coming near others where pimply,
blotchy and eczemic skin ran be seen.
You almost feel like going up to
Ju*m and tolling them that they
ought to begin using Black and
White Ointment and Soap, which so
many thousands cf happy people are
depending on to keep their skin
clear, smooth and good to look at.
Black and White Ointment, and
Soap, are selling at the phenomenal
rate of more than two million paek-
oges a year, and the fact that they
are so economically priced is largely j
responsible for this record. The 50c
size Ointment contains three times
as much as the 25c size. All dealers
have both the Ointment and the
Soap.

Synopsis of Preceding Chapter: Artists and employees of the Paris
Opera House have become terrorized by a mysterious figure who they
believe is a ghost. The management, in fact, sells the theatre in the
midst of a season, as they cannot stand the Phantom’s demands. On the
last night of their management a young singer, Christine Daae, makes
her debut in “Faust” and umazes the audience with her wonderful voice.
Her lover, Raoul de Chagny, rushes backstage to see her, but she does
not recognize him. He waits outside her dressing-room and hears her
talking with a man, but when she leaves he searches the room and there ,

CHAPTER TWO
HE following morning M. Rich-
I aid, one of the new heads
A. of the enterprise, found on his
desk a letter addressed in red ink,
in a curious handwriting.
He opened it and read:
Dear Mr. Manager:
I am sorry to trouble you at a
time when you must be very busy,
but 1 must ask you not to sell my
box again. 1 should like to hear
Christine Daae again this evening in
“Faust," though 1 understand you are
not going to let her sing the leading
role because of Carlotta's jealousy.
In selling my private box you are
treating me with outrageous con-
tempt. If you wish to live in peace,
you must not begin by taking away
inv private box.
—Opera Ghost.
M. Richard had hardly finished
leading this letter when M. Mon-
charmin, his partner, entered, hear-
ing one exactly similar. They looked
at each other and burst out laughing.
Thinking that their predecessors were
still keeping up the joke, they were
amused but slightly annoyed.
“Perhaps all they want is a box
tonight. Let’s send it to them,” sug-
gested M. Richard, and they forth-
with dispatched & messenger with
tickets for Box Five to the old man-
agers’ address.
The next day they received a post
card which read:
“Thanks. Charming evening. LYaac
splendid. Kind regards.—O. G.r
But in the same mail was a note
from the retired managers saying:
“We are much obliged to you for
your kind thought of us, but you will
understand that we have no right tc
occupy Box Five, which is the exclu-
sive property of nim whom we spoke
to you about.”
“Oh, those fellows are beginning
to annoy me!" shouted Richard. And
that evening Box Five was sold.
PUJRISTINE DAAE, after her per-
v-4 formance in “Faust,” saw none
of her friends for several days, but
she thought often of Raoul, and
finally wrote him a note:
“Monsieur: I have not forgotten
n-.pt vc played together as children.
Today 1 am going to Perros, where
my lather is buried, as this is the
anniversary of his death. He is
buried with his violin, in the 1
churchyard in which we used to
play.” '
Raoul, when he received t!v. net.
immediately packed, dressed an.
caught a Lain for Penes. On his
arrival he went at once :u the little
inn and there found Chri-iine wait-
for him smiling.
“I knew you were coming. Some-
one told me so at the church this
morning.”
“Who?” said Raoul, taking her
hand.
“Why. my father, who is dead.”
There was a silence, and then
Raoul spoke:
“Did your father tell you that I
love you, Christine, and cannot live
without you?”
Christine blushed and in a trem-
bling voice said:
“1 did not make you come to tell
me such things as that. Perhaps
I was wrong to write you.”
“You knew me in your dressing-
room that night, Christine. Why did
you not recornizc me?”
Christine did not reply. And Raoul,, scorching eyes,
angered with jealousy, cried out: j the apparition
was in your way, someone who was
listening!"
Christine broke in coldly:
“If anyone was in my way it was
you. There was no one else there.
To whom do you refer?”
“To the man whose voice I heard
saying to you: ‘Christine, you must
love me.’ ”
At these words, Christine turned
deathly pale, and seemed on the
point of fainting.
‘ What else did you hear? Go on,
go on; tell me all you heard!”
Raoul, puzzled by her strange con-
fusion, told her all he had heard.
Her eyes stared like a mad-
woman’s, and at the conclusion of
his story she escaped and fled in
great disorder.
Raoul spent the day alone, dejec-
ted. Toward evening lie walked
toward the little graveyard, climbed
the slope and sat down watching
the sea. Suddenly he heard Chris-
tine’s voice behind him:
“Raoul, 1 have decided to tell you
something. Do you remember my
father telling me about the Angel
of Music?"
“Of course I do," he answered.
“Your father told you that after
he died you would be visited by the
Angel of Music.”
“Well, Raoul, I have been vistted
by the Angel of Music. He comes
to me in my dressing-room. He gives
me lessons daily! It was he you
heard that night—not a man! But
I thought I was the only one who
could hear him. Imagine my aston-
ishment, then, at being told that you,
too, could hear him!”
Raoul began to grow confused in
the presence of Christine’s deter-
mined attitude.
“I am afraid someone is making
game of you," he said.
She gave a cry and ran away. He
r8'i after her, but in a tone of fierce
anger she called out:
“Leave me! Leave me!”
Raoul returned to the inn feeling
very unhappy. He dined alone and
went to bed and tried to sleep. About
half-past eleven he heard someone
moving in the next room. Then
Christine had nut gone to bed! Raoul
dressed, and waited lor further
sounds. Soon lie heard Christine’s
door open stealthily and footsteps
on the stairs. He opened his door
And saw Christine stepping down
the passage. He returned to hie
room and, climbing out onto a true

father’s grave and kneel down to
nrav. At that moment, it struck
midnight, and Christine lifted her
arms out as in ecstecy. Raoul sud-
denly heard strains of exquisite
music from a hidden source. He
immediately remembered Christine’s
story of the Angel of Music, for
never had he heard a violin played
with ruch exquisite art. It seemed
to come from a heap of boijes and
skulls in a corner of the graveyard,
and when the music had ceased
and Christine had gone, Raoul went
over to that corner. As he approached
the skulis started to roll toward
him. And suddenly he saw a shadow
glide along the church wall. Raoul
rushed toward it, grasped at its coat.
The figure turned around and Raoul
was horrified by the terrible death's
head he saw, out of which gleamed
He struck at it, but
vanished into the
church, and Raoul hammered on the
bolted door in vain.
