A great, glad light came into Rem
ick's eyes. As he did so his hand C
went into his pocket 'and somecthing w
crisp and green found its way into
the chauffeur's palm.
"Chris, you're a mighty good fel
low; and I think you're a discreet one
as well," said he. "Now, have you ii
enough sporting blood in your veins
to take a chance and do just as In
say?" b
Chris looked a bit dubious. Then a
he glanced at the contents of his right n
hand, and his doubts seemed to be of
the order that are amenable to rea
son.
"I want that coat and' those gog
gles," said Remick, "and I want to V
change places with you for an hour v
or so."
Chris hesitated. "It will cost me P
my job, sir," he said. P
"I'll get you another just as good," u
Remick declared.
Still Chris hesitated. Remick drew
himself up.
"Will you do it in the peaceable a
fashion I suggest," he asked, "or do
you want me to take that coat and i
those goggles by force? I'm desper
ate, Chris, and at the present moment
I'm perfectly capable of following L
such a course." t
Chris grinned. "That bein' the case, f
sir, and in event of anything happenin'
to my job you'll sure find me another,
I'll take a chance. Hurry, now," he n
went on, sliding out of the car. "Miss
Felicia may come out any minute."
Into the friendly concealment of a
near-by doorway the two consipators
stepped. In a moment Remick, his
identity effectually concealed by the
high collar of the yellow coat and the
goggles, climbed into the car, and
perched at the wheel in an attitude very
like the one Chris was prone to affect.
Chris, meantime, swinging Remick's
stick, wearing Remick's hat, and smo
king, with much satisfaction, one of
Remick's cigars, strode jauntily away
down the street and was lost in the
hurrying crowds on the sidewalk.
Three minutes later Felicia came
out of the little shop. The proprietor
himself opened the door for her; es
corted her to the car and helped her
in.
"And you'll find me a mate to that
candlestick, Mr. Barlow?" Felicia was
asking.
"I'll do my best, Miss Graham," the
rotund little shopkeeper assured her.
Then, "Home, Chris," she ordered,
while Remick's heart all but jumped
out of his mouth.
Away went the car, swung a corner
to the smooth, gleaming asphalt of
the avenue and went tearing along at
a great pace. The streets went past
in rapid succession; a lever was
pressed down and the car answered
with a wild burst of speed.
Felicia gasped. "Chris, what has
Mr. Graham told you often about
speeding this car?" she said severely.
"Slow down at once. You are way
beyond the speed limit."
There was no sign that the chauft
feur had heard her. The car, roaring
and puffing, shot ahead. Felicia raised
her voice to make herself heard above
the noise of the throbbing engine.
"Chris"-there was a note of alarm
in her voice-"what does this mean?
Where on earth are you going? You've
Spassed the house. Stop! Do you
hear me? Stop at once!"
She reached forward to touch his
arm. They shot across a bridge and
struck a smooth, hard macadam road

bordering it on either side, offered a

- The car slowed down and stopped.
SOn the back seat a frightened girl
saw the chauffeur shed his goggles and
whisk down the upturned collar of his
Scoat. And facing her,' Remick was
Ssmiling blandly.
"Now then," he said it tones he
strove to make matter of fact, "I shall
proceed at once to dictate that an
swer to my question. You promised,
Felicla! You know you did," he said.
Felicia gasped again. But she was
not the person to accept defeat un*
gracefully. Her head was lifted proud
d ly. Her nose went the fraction of an
inch higher.
"Well," said she, "proceed with the
dictation."

Apropos of Valentine's Day, a pas

"Mark Twain once told us, in a little
Valentine Day speech on this boat,
of an Irish wooer who had the right
Valentine spirit. Acceptance or re
jection he could take with equal
grace.
"'Will ye be my valentine?' he said,
on February 14, to the girl he loved.
"'No,' she replied; 'I am' anothers'.'
"He heaved a sigh and said:
" 'Sure, thin, darlin', I wish ye was
twins, so that I could have at laste
the half of ye.'"

Woman's Power
Over Man
Woman's most glorious endowment is the power
to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a
worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on,
noo one in the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers from weak.
mess and derangement of her special womanly or*
ganism soon loses the power to sway the heart of
a man. Her general health suffers and she loses
her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability
aend her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with
the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and oured many
thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ail
ments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive
specific for the weaknesses and disorders peculiar to women. It purifies, regu.
lates, strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it. No honest dealer will
advise you to socept a substitute in order to make a little larger profit.
