'ONO, load and clear
T
The voices of
Each ringing
And calling to the spheres
To look and view
One loyal, true,
Who snatched from Tyranny a land
The fairest neath the sun
And started Progress on her way:
Brave, noble Washington.
BIT him War found a champion
Courageous, dauntless, true.
His heart of steel was tender, too.
And sympathy it knew.
And friend and foe,
When lying low,
Alike to him were brother men, .
His fellows, every one.
War was but Mercy's path when led
The soldier, Washington.
THE chanting years sing Peace today
Sweet is the theme and grand
And sound the praise of him who first
Enticed her to this land.
Her light more clear
Shines forth each year,
To all the world a beacon bright,
Hope's never setting sun. f
All nations voice their gratituda
To our George Washington.
THOUGH first in war and first In peace.
Yet more than this was he.
We call him 'Tather," for to us
He gave sweet liberty.
Lift loud your song,
0 years, prolong
The anthem, and while time endures
Proclaim the victory won!
First in the hearts of all true men
Aye lives our Washington.

The farm gate creaked loudly, and
Annie Jane hopped out of bed and
ran to the window. Two triangular
patches of light on the driveway, fol
lowed by a dark bulk, betrayed the
arrival of an automobile. The voices
of men raised in angry altercation
floated through the open window.
"Oh. dear! He's caught another
one," wailed Annie Jane sleepily as
she lighted a candle and proceeded to
brush her pretty brown hair.
The mirror reflected a lovely face,
full of sweetness and modesty, with
soft curves and enchanting dimples.
"If mother was only at home to take
turns with me"
"Annie Jane!" bellowed a voice up
the stairway. "You git dressed and
come dowu. I got another one of
them chawfers down here!
"Coming, father," yawned Annie
Jane, buttoning herself Into a little
pink frock she had worn that afternoon.
When she entered the kitchen her
father was sitting on a corner of the
table fussing with an old fashioned
revolver. Beside him was a shotgun.
Every separate snowy whisker of
the sheriff bristled with hostility when
be glanced toward the lawbreaker
trhom be bad captured.
The unhappy prisoner was lounging,
bis chair tilted back against the wall.
He was also smoking a cigarette and
eying his warlike captor with good
natured tolerance. He jumped to his
feet when he saw Annie Jane, and the
cigarette performed a parabola Into
the coal scuttle.
"Sit down !" roared Peter Lamson. I
reckon you don't realize you're a pris
oner, young man! Now, Annie Jane,
he added, turning to the girl, "I'm go
ing over to get the Justice and have
him"-
Tou better let me take you over In
my car." Interrupted the prisoner
eagerly.
The sheriff glared at him wrathful
ly. "Yes, and when you get me out
In the road you'll run away with me
Just as a chfiwfer did with a sheriff
down Scuogue way! As I said, Annie
Jane," he continued, turning his broad
back on the prisoner and addressing
his daughter. "I'm going to ride over
to Justice Walnwrlght'a and get him
to come over. If he ain't to home,
HI get Smith. But I wanted Waln
wright to know I'm looking after
things on the Willow road."
"Oh. I say. sheriff," said the pris
oner, withdrawing bis glance from

Annie Jane's downcast face. "I"
"You keep still, young feller!" thun
dered Peter Lamson. unbending bis
figure to Its full height. "Now, you
understand that whatever you say
will be used agin you I Do you
I march Into that pantry, double quick!"
The chauffeur measured the sheriff
with a calculating eye. At the end of
a minute his gaze encountered Annie
Jane's appealing glance. Then he
bowed his head and disappeared with
in the dark pantry.
The sheriff slammed the door, locked
it and bung the key on a convenient
nail. Then he opened a sliding door
in the wall of the pantry.
"Now, Annie Ja::e, you set here to
front of the little door, and if that
chawfer tries to get out do you use
this weepon on him! Better aim for
his feet. That'll stop him qulckern
anything else." He thrust the re
volver into his daughter's reluctant
grasp.
"You know I'm afraid of firearms,
father!" cried Annie Jane timorously.
"I couldn't shoot It off."
Peter Lamson bent his head until
his white whiskers brushed Annie
Jane's pink ear. "It ain't loaded." be
whispered hoarsely. Then, with an
elaborate wink at the girl, he left the
room.
Five minutes later Annie Jane,
crouched In the Boston rocker, facing
the pantry, beard the rattle of wheels
as her father rode out of the gate.
Just then a tall clock In the corner
chimed 12.
"Put the revolver on the table if you
are afraid of it; I won't try to escape,"
said a reassuring voice from the pan
try. Framed in the opening was the
good looking face of the prisoner.
"If you'll promise," said Annie Jane
rellevedly. She placed the weapon on
the table and resumed her seat.
"Father is very very conscientious,"
she murmured apologetically.
There was a distinct chuckle from
the pantry. "I have noticed that," re
marked the chauffeur dryly.
"Father has only been a sheriff since
the first of the month," she further ex
plained. "You know there Is a sign
board down the road which says that
motorists must slow down to ten miles
and"
"I'm aware of It That's what hap
pened to me!"
"It happens to so many of them,"
sighed Annie Jane. "And then father
catches them and they are so rude.
Some of them offer money to let them
go again. They offer bribes."
The prisoner blushed hotly under the
scorn In Annie Jane's voice.
"What did father say when you
tried to bribe him?" she asked de
murely. "He said he said he was the only
sheriff In the county that couldn't be
bought," said the prisoner soberly.
Annie Jane nodded. "Father Is like
that," she said simply. "He sought
toe appointment oecause ne nenevea
that he had the moral courage to re
fuse a bribe. Our new Justice, Mr.
Wainwrleht. says the lives of the peo
pt, in - fnmmunlty shall not fc en
dangered by the reckless driving of
autoists. He says they shall observe
the law! We have never seen Mr.
Wainwright, but father says he's the
right man to the right place."
The prisoner smiled somewhat grimly.
"Of course you look at It from an
other point of view." said Annie Jane
courteously. "I hope your employer
will will pay the fine."
"Thank you," said the prisoner
gently.
There was a long silence after that,
broken now and then by the dropping
of a coal into the grate of the cooking
stove. Annie Jane was observing the
leathern cap and goggles and huge fur
coat flung across a chair. Somehow
the prisoner to the pantry did not seem
to be like the majority of motorists
whom the conscientious sheriff cap
tured to the night watches.
As a rule, the prisoners were dusty
and grimy, with oily bands, blackened
and discolored. They were of every
nationality and temperament, but one
and all concurred to that they were
unjustly detained.
This young man, however, had a
clean cut, clever face, with a deter
mined Jaw and keen blue eyes. He
was an American; bis hands were
brown and strong and well kept. An
nie Jane liked good hands.
Suddenly she uttered a HttJe shriek
and tucked her feet under her ruffled
skirts.
The prisoner shifted bis gaze from
her charming face to the bright rag
carpet "What is the matter?" he
queried.
"Such a horrid rat!" quavered Annie
Jane, pointing to where a small, gray
body slid along the floor.
"Give me the revolver and I'll pot
him," he suggested eagerly.
"No, oh, no; I can't let you out," sob
bed Annie Jane hysterically.
"Nonsense! I'm not going to have
you frightened to death," retorted the
prisoner authoritatively.
"I am afraid of It but I promised to
keep you locked up. I cannot break
my word," murmured Annie Jane, with
an attempt at valor.
Once when she was a little child a
rat had bitten her band, and since then
the mere sight of one would send her
Into hysterics.
The chauffeur looked at her face,
from which every trace of color bad
fled, and, with a muttered exclmatlon,
he turned away from the little open
ing. A minute later came the sound of a
window being raised, and presently the
prisoner walked into the room through
the back door. ' Without a word be
seized a poker. ' There was a rush of
steps, a sharp squeak and then silence.
The door opened and closed.
The chauffeur washed his bands at
the sink. "I shall return to the pantry
now," he began, when the outer door
opened again and the harsh voice of
the sheriff boomed through the house.
Annie Jane . sprang to her feet
whiter, if possible, than before.
"He's locked to the pantry, justice,
and Annie Jane's been a-watching
him!" said Peter Lamson triumphantly.
Mr. Justice Smith, stout rosy and
jovial, withal he had been aroused
from his bed, entered the room to ad
vance of the sheriff, and his genial
glance alighted on the prisoner, who
was calmly drying his bands on the
roller towel. .
"Hello, Wainwright!" he cried. "So
you got here a-rter all. Lamson says he
went over to your place, but your serv
ants said you were out to the machine
chasing scorchers, I suppose! Now,
Miss Annie Jane, have out the prison
er, and well each land him a heavy
fine, eh, Wainwright 7"
Justice Wainwright swept the room
In a keen glance that noted Peter Lam
son's chagrined face and the pitiful
entreaty, in Annie Jane's eyes.
"Sorry,- sheriff. It's all my fault but
your prisoner has escaped," he said
carelessly.
"Shucks!" exploded Peter Lamson,
with sincere relief.
"Your treat sheriff," laughed SjxUH,
comfortably. "Let it be some of tl,
old russet cider. I'll go down with you
and hold the lamp.
When the discomfited sheriff had pre
ceded Smith down the cellar stairs, the
late prisoner approached Annie Jane,
who. stood .disconsolately before the
stove.
"You were very kind. Indeed, Mr.
Wainwright" she stammered with em
barrassment.. "I know father will be
hurt and mortified to realize he has
made such a blunder that he treated
you so unkindly."
"You were very kind to the prisoner.
Miss Annie. Jane,"5' said the justice,
with a tender note to his pleasant
voice. 'Under those circumstances It
was verstrange that be should try to
escape, wasn't It?"
- Annie Jane's eyes dropped before the
warmth to his gaze, but she made no
reply.
i "I don't believe he escaped, after
all," mused Wainwright thoughtfully.
And subsequently It was proved that
he did not

Breaking Up a Witness.
In no way -an barristers better dis
play their acute ness than by seeing at
a glance the character of the wit
nesses they are about to examine and
by treating them accordingly. Erskine
was famous at this. In a case in
which he was engaged a commercial
traveler came into the witness box
dressed In the height of fashion and
wearing a starched white necktie fold
ed in the Brummel fold. In an In
stant Erskine knew his man, though
he had never seen him before, and said
to him, with an air of careless amuse
ment, "You were born and bred In
Manchester. I perceive.'? Greatly as
tonished at this opening- remark, the
man admitted that he was. "Exactly,"
observed the great cross examiner in
a conversational tone. "I knew It
from the absurd tie of your neck
cloth." The roars of laughter, coming from
every person In the court, with the
single exception of the unfortunate
witness, which followed this rejoftder
completely effected Ersklne's purpose,
which was to put the witness in a
state of agitation and confusion be
fore touching on the facts concerning
which he had come to give evidence.

PRE-INVENT0RY SALE.
It is easier to count money thin goods, hence the reason of the many in
dv cements to be maJe during the next two weeks to reduce our stock to a
minimum.
Another reason In accordance with one or our iron-clad rules, never to
carry any goods from one season to another in the hope of making a profit on
them, rather sacrifice them while yet in style, the first loss is likely to be the
least.
Time and space forbid us itemizing the many bargains we have to offer
from now until the end of the month.
Come at your convenience and be convinced.
