The man huddled beside

in his fur wrappings. -j.
“Half-past eleven.” The girl spoke
quietly. Her frosty breath plumed
from her lips in the still night air.'
The headlights, on the car swept

voice was edged with anxiety.
“We’ve got t« inake it, haven’t we?
I promised you we’d reach the place

If you don’t get the fortune ... we

“To think you must dp this instead
of me! You're a grand little sport,
Rita, I don't know how to thank you.
It will be a Happy New Year for us
both, if we win, that’s’ sure.”
They slewed around another .curve;
the lights seemed to climb forever,

But this time they" were not so for
tunate. A policeman stood in the
street holding up his hand. Had thh
street been wide Rita would have ig
nored him, but cars were parked on
either side; a trolley had stopped near
the officer. She simply could not
make it, without killing hlm. A With
a grinding of brakes, a skillfully man

Before he could speak she leaned out.

Disfranchisement
The laws which disfranchise persons
vary in the different states. In nearly
all of them those who have beeq con

mind are disfranchised. Some states
also disfranchise those convicted of
treason or bribery or betting on elec-

w’here there is no popular ’ suffrage,
until a peak is.reached gometime next
spring, although winter weather will
retard the program sdmesvjmt.
With weather comlitions in mind the
administration took action on allot
ments for road Construction work in
the far northeyh states first, so that
something could be accomplished there
before winter. *
An -interesting fact in connection
with tlie/allotments/ it was pointed
out, is ^at the secondary work—the
gathering and processing of materials
—starts as soon as the allotment is
made and quite some time before dt-,
reet work on the project site is sluried.'

It is made foir quick relief, for safety.
Mild coughs often ylr’* to lesser helps.
No one can tell. No one knows which fac

careful people, more and more, are using
Creomulsion for any cough that starts.
'1 lie cost is a little more, than a single
help. But your druggist guarantees it, so it
costs nothing if it fails to bring you quick
relief. Coughs are danger signals. For
safety's sake, deal with them in the best
way known. (adv.)

Pygmies in Transvaal
That pygmies once lived in the
northern Transvaal of- Africa, has
been proved by recent finds. Among
the finds are the forgottefi works of
a vhuisiied 4ia««. Including an exten

dam. An implement of Jhe type. use^
by ancient copper miners also was un
covered. An altar, evidently made for
sacrifices, was approached , by cause
