"A Tale of Red Roses,"
by George Randolph Chester,
is one of that author's best
stories. It introduces a typical
red blooded boss politician
of the type found in many
American cities and a beauI
tjful eirl, with whom the boss
is in love. Incidents of political
intrigue and high finance
are fascinatingly told.
The author relates, as only
he can, stirring incidents in
ward, city and state politics.
In his strenuous, spectacular
wooing the politician makes
the girl the favorite at a governor's
ball. He has diplomats,
artists and notables of
every description pay her
homage. He lavishes presents
on her. He anticipates
her every wish. His love is
overpowering, all consuming.
"A Tale of Red Roses"
holds the interest of the i?ader
' from start to finish. Once begun
it must be finished.
CHAPTER I.
The Dawning of a Tender Passion.
A COAL wagon, naturally cboos
lug the rush hour for the per
formal nee, broke down In fron
of an extra crowded car, an<
traffic was promptly knotted for thre
blocks. A shining big automobile, fol
lowing up the hill, came so close be
bind that the glare of the street ca
shone with unpleasant brightness 01
the occupants?a smiling red cheekei
girl at the wheel; by her side a gra;
vandyked man with sinister lines ran
nlng sharply downward from bis dowi
pointed nose; in the tonneau a plaint^
dressed and modestly pretty black hair
eu Bill wiiu targe una rumer 1111111
eyes mid a slender golden haired glr
whose chief mission lu life, from he
expression, would have been taken t<
be mischievous fun.
"Hello, Bert!" called the girl at th<
wheel. "Can you uncrusb yourself?"
The rather large youug inau in th<
neatly fitting blue suit who had beei
jammed against the rail of the rea
platform had already begun to worn
hla way out of the ill humored throni
on the street car.
"I'll try It," he luugked, "although
don't expect to have u button left."
The crowd, its clothing still clamm;
from the recent rain, made way fo
him reluctantly, even though It needei
the apace he occupied, for the pompou
looking, vandvked man in the car wa
Frank Marley. by all odds the mos
unpopular man in the city. He wa
the president of the street car com
pany.
The youug man In the neat blue suit
whose cheeks were flawlessly pink ant
whose luxuriant black mustache was
curled iu two amazingly perfect riug
lets, picked his way daintily througl
the slush.
"Bert, this is the treat 1 promisee
you," said the girl at the wheel.
"Miss Fern Ilurbuuk," he guessed
clasping the bloiul visitor's baud, ant
at the sume time he gave his left ham
condescendingly to little Jessie Peters
"Welcome to our muddy city."
"Thank you." smiled the golden hair
ed young lady. "Of course this u
handsome Bert CJlider."
"Molly's been telling on me." In
lightly answered as he took the folding
seat Just behind Mr. Marley. slttlm
ldewlse so that lie could address tin
two girls in the tonneuu and still eu
Joy the clean cut profile of Ethel.vr
Marley, known to her Intimates as
Molly, for no better reason tbnn tbai
It was a handier name.
The lights in the car ahead suddenly
went out, and a groan arose from tht
miserable passengers on that suffocat
lng vehicle. A roughly breathed man
who had been resting his elbow In the
wishbone of gray whiskered little Hen
ry Peters, reached the point of herolt
defiance.
He cursed the street car company
and demanded. "Why don't they pul
on more cars?"
Little Henry Peters, who ndmlttet
he was a stockholder, took the com
pany's part
The conductor crowded back througl
the solidly packed aisle and the
equlrmlng platform to Jerk hopefullj
at the trolley rope, and little Henrj
^ters, squeezed between his oppo
pent and the fat butcher until bonei
could stand no more, popped from be
tween their peripheries like the Jushh
of a grape, landing In the solar nlexui
of a tired Hiberuiun, who had euduret
more than euough.
"Get out of my stomach, stockbold
er," be gruffly ordered and pushed lit
tie Henry's derby tightly down ovei
bis ears Just as another machine drew
out of the fretting rearward line and
topped by the ragged gutter, restei
abreast of Marley's machine. The con
ductor having restored the lights, tbt
Attention of the uncomfortable passen
fire was now directed to the new

Irishman who had extinj wished little

Little Henry pulled hh , derby audibly
off his head and ru ,bed the red
circle it had left.
"Mr. Sledge is the ' rorklngman's
friend," he declared.
"Aw, shut up!" order the gaunt
Celtic laborer and kicket his ankle by
way of accidental empb? gjg
It was strange that. w%ne everybody
on the car kept the usjmg of Frank
Marley sacred to their ha^-ed, the name
of Sledge, who was notqH0us throughout

was received with equanimity.
Meanwhile Sledge, tw^jug to see

msiness method. 1 am not in favor ol

Sledge turned ponderously from his

"Your girl's a peach," he delicately
ilnted.
"Molly?" smiled Marley's nose. "Slit
3 a beauty, isn't she? Tlie beys an

ege convention out at my house al
bo time.''
"I want to get acquainted with her.'
rdered Sledge, much as if he had beei
ending the happy word to some rising
lew politician.
A shade of annoyance passed ovei
lariey's brow.
"Thai is a. mutter v.hich is entirely

much more eii'uslvcucss than that geu
tleuiau did him.
"IIcllo, Marley," he said, grasping the
street car magnate's hand with tremendous
man to man heartiness. "You
are just the one 1 want to see. I've
been trying to get Molly on the phone,
and they tell me she'll be in at your
oflice some time this afternoon.. Will
you carry her the happy news that
Dicky Reynolds is in town and that I
invited him to tier tatty pulling tomorrow
nightV Tell her to invite Jessie
Peters."
Sledge turned slow questioning eyes
on Marley.
"You going to be home tonight?" he
Inquired.
"Well, yes, I rather think so." faltered
Marley.
"I'm coming out to see you." decided
Sledge.
"I'll be glad to have you," admitted
Marley. "I suppose 1 may see Davis
tomorrow ?"
Sledge nodded assent, looking stonily
out meanwhile at the hand hole In the
high board gate at tbe end of the areawav.
"Well. Glider, tell us about It," lnvit-1
ed Bendix as Murley went out. '
"I want you to toll me," laughed
Glider, in happy unconsciousness that
lie was a deadly offense to Sledge, who
called him "pretty;" "is the Ridgewood
avenue extension a sure go?"
"Why do you want to know?" inquired
Bendix.
"I have a little speculation In mind
which depends on it," confessed Glider.
"Subdivision at the end of the line,
I suppose," guessed Bendix.
"Well, jes," acknowledged Glider.
"Foxy of you to think of it," applauded
Bendix. "Your only fault Is
that you don't guess those things first.
Who do you suppose would acquire a
deed to that land before the extension
was publicly announced?"
"I know the answer," returned Gilder,
crestfallen, but still handsome;
"you fellows."
"Ccrtamily not," denied Bendix. "But
some friend of the family?yes. may-1
he. How much will you give for the
land?"
"I'm nut at liberty to state," replied
Glider uncomfortably. "Tbe owner
made uie a price on it tills morning,
but it was confidential."
"The o\\ r didn't know he was
tagged," retorted Bendix dryly. "Yon
I may have the land. 1 think, for twenty
thousand. Glider, hut you'll have to
speak quick."
"Twenty thousand!" gasped Glider.
"Why. old I'orsou. offered it to me for
eight."
"That's what we intend to pay him."
"Give tne a day or two to think it
over.' begged Glider
"All right: you're on." agreed Ben(
dix and hurried out of the room.
Bert was about to follow him when
Sledge called.
"Glider," was his peremptory summons,
"what kind of flowers does Moli
ly Mnrley like?"
Bert Glider almost stuck the ash end
I of his cigar in his mouth, then sad
denly upbraided himself for a fool as
he mentally complimented Sledge on
i deserving his reputation of being the
most astute politician iu the state.
? "Red roses," lie promptly returned
and twirled the right hand curl of his
mustache. Fie stopped that process
abruptly and felt of the curl with deep
concern. One of the hairs was disarranged,
and ho fixed it with the aid of
a vest pocket mirror.
"Thanks," said Sledge and resumed
, his Interested inspection of the hand
j hole in the gate.
' Sledge looked out of the window for
1 long moments of thick silence, and
; then he expressed his thoughts on a
! plot In hand in tills fashion:
i "Say, IJendlx. send n load of roses
| out to .Moll.v .Mnrley for her party toI
morrow night, the reddest ones they've
got."

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN
ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
nature's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakabb earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

tobacco men once every year.
