cahto/ts FIltST FAHE [CopyrighL UM. by K A Whitehead.] For the third time « enachmau called to Carton to move along that oth ers might drive np to the curb, and with a muttered expression of disgust at the length of time it took Fred Howell to select a cigar Hugh Carton ran hta automobile across the street and fell in line behind two other cars drawn up beside the square. He did not notice that the others belonged to a sight seeing company until u musical voice luqulrcd what his terms were. Carton looked down Into the face of itn exceedingly pretty girl and flashed a glance at Ihe cars ahead. In an in- 1 atnnt he comprehended the situation •'Dollar Mti hour." he said gruffly, touch ing hie leather cap with what he con gratulafbd himself was a good imita tion of a chauffeur's salute. "I shall want you'about three hours," she said simply and waited while he sprang dowu and opened the door in the back of the tonneao. In another moment they were speeding up the street. From the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Fred Howell standing ou the hotel steps, and his conscience smote him. He had promised Howell a run, but still It was not his fault that It took his friend so long to pick out cigars while he remained outside to be tempted by the prettiest girl he had ever 6eon. He could take Howell out at any time. This was hie one chance with the pretty girl. Perhaps ufter awhile he could tell her that ho was not a professional chauffeur. Before they had gone half a mile he had built au , air castle In which ills first fare was established ns chatelaine, and then sud denly the fare wrecked Ills castle. "Turn down the next street to 274," she ordered, and obediently Carton drew up. "I want to send my mother out for a drive," she said sweetly. "Give her s good view of the city and keep the rest for yourself." She ran up the steps, while Cartou stared blankly at the fire dollar bill she had thrust Into his hand. For a moment lie was tempted to follow her up the steps, give the money to n ser vant and drive off. Then came the comforting reflection that perhaps It might be easier to establish himself with the mother than with the daugh ter, and he waited. A few moments later he was sorry he had not done so, for down the steps came one of the most eccentric figures he had ever seen. Her clothes bore the stamp of seasons gone before, and a hideous blue veil screened a face sharp and angular. She fixed herself comfortably in the seat, and with a querulous, "Don't go too fast,- youug man." they started. It was torture to Hugh to skim through the resldentfnl district with this old figure In the tonneau, and more than one surprised glance follow ed the automobile and the oddly as sorted pair. Kven tin* hope of being able to win the old Indy's favor van ished when, after several attempts to engage lier in conversation, she lennedl forward and in her high pitched voice said: "It's no use to talk to me. young man; I'm deaf, and I wish you would not turn round; you make me nervous, roil can't see where you arc going." He heaved a sigh of relief when at last he depoaited her liefere her own door nnd was free to escape, lie did not even catch a glimpse of the girl who had lured him to Ills fate. It was late when he eutered the Howells' drawing room llmt evening. The butler was just announcing din ner. and there was barely time to make hurried greeting to Ins hostess ami offer his arm to his companion. Before cacti plate on the long tnliie stood n characteristic favor, and tint laughter was long ami loud when lie picked up the tluy silver and gilt cigar ette holder fashioned In tin* form of an automobile that stood ill Ids plate, The laughter became a shriek when, on lifting the lid, lie discovered a live; dollar bill Iu stage money. As bravely as he could he factsl thej storm of laughter an.I jeering remark . which followed, but tint until he caught sight of Howell at Ihe other end of the table, fairly convulsed with mirth, did lie discover the secret of Ills undoing, for beside Hit» Joker, red nnd unsmiling, was his fare of the morn lbff. , When they had all returned to the drawing room balm was poured upon his wounded feelings, for the girl came up to him. "I want to apologise to you, Mr. Cat ton," she said bravely, "for tny lnuo ccnt complicity in the joke my cousin bas played utiou you. "I am Mabel Norton, Fred's cousin, and It was he who poluted you out to me and recommended you as the most careful of the public drivers. I assure you that I had no idea that he was playing a joke upon me." "It la all right," said Carton. "I was playing a Joke upon you, you see? I had no Business to do It. but -well," he went on tamely. "I thought that mavis» —after awhile 1 might be able to tell you that you were my guest and not my fare Any way—perhaps well, I hope your mother enjoyed the ride." After that tilings progressed famous, ly. Follow ng Uie flrsi trip. Carton's! automobile was at tiie door of 271 ev ery pleasant afternoon. It was in the automobile.

A professional model whose com plexion Is of the classic type bas this to say about her smooth skin and Its treatment; '1 suppose I ought to say that I owe my complexion to soap and water; but, to tell the actual truth, neither soap nor water agrees with my skin very well. I seldom wash my face, vulgar as this may sound. "I am accustomed to taking a cold bath every day, which Is a matter of hatdt. It Is good for some people and bad for others, but It agrees perfectly with me. I feel Invigorated by It. "In the natural course of events my face gets its dash of cold water, but otherwise 1 do not wash It except for a light steaming which ^ gets once In awhile, say once In ten days or so. "At night I cover my face thtckly with cold cream. I put It on In great layers. 1 let It remain on for a few minutes and then remove It with a soft cloth. I then apply another thick coat ing of cold cream, and tills I leave on all night. It seems to sink into the pores and to supply the moisture which has been taken out of It during the day. "You cannot expect to have a smooth young skin unless you use lots of cold cream on your fuce. You must exper iment until you find the right kind of cold cream to use. If glycerin hurts your skin, do not use It. If you can not stand rose water and alcohol, why, It is best to omit them. Discover the kind of cream you can use and stick to It.

Why They Are Better Adapted to the Work Than Men, In America we are on the highroad to perfection In domestic architecture owing, possibly, to the acknowledged supremacy of our women. Where a wo man reigns supreme it is the end and aim of her men to make her comforta ble and happy. Now the American architect, being a man and belonging most likely to some woman, makes it his pride to provide for her—or her sex which she represents—the most com fortable, convenient and pretty house to adorn with her taste and her pres ence until slie moves. A woman Is not wasteful In small things, but a man is. Who, then, is so adapted to utilize the small space which constitutes the average house? A house can be the visible expression of her cleverness, her economy, her taste and her common sense. It will give her an opportunity to be great In the minor aspirations. When she builds a house she will put herself In the place of that other wom an whose destiny It Is to live there. She will warm that house eomfortubly be cause she herself hates to shiver. She will put iu plenty of cupboards because without clipboards life Is not worth liv ing—to a woman, ner kitchen will be in Just proportion to the size of the house and not a kind of baronial hall lu which even the beetles look lonely.— Mrs. John Lane In I/indon Outlook. THE HANDS. Don't cut the nulls iu points, but carefully arehed. Don't, cut the cuticle or any part of the flesh around the nails. Don't eut the nulls without first hold ing them In wax to soften them. Don't wear rings that ure too small. The Inevitable result Is red and swol len liunds and knuckles. Don't wear bracelets tight enough to affect the ctreiilatlou or so that they rub on the joints of (he wrist. Don't wear gloves every night or the hands will lieeoni«» yellow. OecHsional us«» of gloves, however. Is advisable. Don't forget i « piin-h the «»mis of the lingers now ami then. This will <lo a good deal toward making the fingers taper.

This I is perhaps oue of the most significant 'and far reaching things connected with agriculture at the present time. There are millions of acres of fertile land in the regions referred to which are not irrigable either for want of a water supply or because the topography of the country will not admit of it This new method is an outgrowth of what is known us the Campbell system. The plan Is to plow the soil very deep In the fall or late summer, making | It a receptive and retentive bed for I what email amount of moisture falls, ! giving a light surface cultivation fol lowing each rain to prevent evapora tion. In the spring the crop is sown or planted as elsewhere, followed by surface cultivation of such crop to as gr«»at a degr«»e as possible. The results are really remarkable, as much as thirty-five bushels Of the finest wbeat in the world being secured from land which was not long ago dedicated to the prairie dog and such scant grass growth that each "critter" was given twenty-five acre* to browse. It Is | found that the best results are oh- j talned when the land Is cropped only I every other year, the Interim being de- | voted to such treatment of the soil, as Indicated above, as will store up the largest amount of moisture possible. - It looks as though the great American desert was to be reclaimed after all. WHY DOES HE WATT TO MAKE MORE MOTEYf We do not know. It would seem as though he had enough—far more than he can possibly u*e or enjoy—but he is Just ns fierce and eager to l-uke In some more dollnrs as though he had a mortgage coming due on his home nnd not enough money to pay It. He can't wear any more or better clothes; he can't cat any more or better food; more money will not give him any better reputation in his community than he now has—ho has come to the point where money «»an do nothing at all for him save to gratify his lust for it aud g'-.-.tify that brutal sense of power over others which money gives. Ho might, of course, want more for the sake of using It for the beueflt of other people, but he long since got himself divorced from any such fool ish notions and now wants more just because the getting of it has become as much of a disease with him as a cancer or the consumption would be. He has so d«»aI«Kl himself in years gone by In order to make money that all power of enjoying it Is now gone. He will keep on Just In the old way, and some day there will be a funeral, some probate proceedings, an obituary notice, and he will be forgotten Just as so many of his kind have been be fore.

The English spar- J row. the most prolific of any of our common birds, will begin nesting in March and keep It up until July and ! sometimes even later. It is safe to that th«»y will hatch from two to four broods In a season. The quail will sometimes hatch two bmxls In a season, and many other birds, if they have their nests broken up or young destroyed, will Incubate the second time; but, as a general rule, all our birds, with the exceptions noted, raise , but one brood of young in a year. Thl* Is a wise provision of nature; other wise birds would easily become oue of ihe greatest plagues with which the farmer and fruit grower 'would bavt to contend.
