"Going to be married?" echoed Barry Miles. Ned King nodded triumphantly. "Sure as fate," he smiled. "I'll hold you to your old promise, Barry; you'll be my best man?" Barry thrust out a friendly hand. "Of course, you can count on me, old man? Congratulations?and who is the girl?" Ned reddened but his eves were bold. "Delia Adams," he said carelessly. Barry whitened and all the light died out of his face. "Delia Adams?" he repeated in a curious tone. "You are to be congratulated indeed, Ned!" "Thanks Barry. Remember, it's to bo a very quiet affair?perhaps a dozen guests. Next Wednesday evening at seven?and you're to be best man!" Barry did not wince now. "I shall not forget," he said gravely as he turned away. Was Ned King his friend? Barry asked himself this question over and over as he made his way toward the village hotel. Surely Ned had known that Barry Miles, the young salesman for a wholesale grocery firm in a neighboring city, was in love with Delia Adams, and Delia could have told Ned, if she cared to listen to something especially interesting when Barry paid his next visit to Grasston. Meanwhile, Ned King had hurried toward the Adams house and told Delia of the best man arrangement "Ned! You asked him, Barry, to he vmir hpst man?" she faltered. "Why not? He was willing. Said I was a lucky chap to get you?and I guess I am," confidently. Delia smiled strangely. "I'm going to send you home now, Ned. If we are to be married next Wednesday I have a thousand things to do." Delia watched him striding down the village street, his stocky figure covering the distance in absurdly long steps. Why, she asked herself, had she engaged herself to Ned King when she loved another man? Because the death of her uncle had left her singularly alone in the world and she had learned that Barry Miles was engaged to a Drayton girl. Delia put on her jersey and went out into October sunset. The way to the river led along a narrow path ankle deep in autumn leaves. She sat down beneath a bending willow. Two men were sitting on a great flat stone. One of them was young, and the dark head was buried in his hands. He was listening to the words of the ? A J ma AM 9 fVt/v 11 r/^V> Bieru-iaueu icllui ui tuo muivu. "I'm sorry, Barry," Mr. Fraser was saying in his deep voice. "I've known Delia all her life, and if she said she would wait for you?that she would listen to your story?there must be some mistake?some misunderstanding. Have you an enemy?" '"Not that I am aware of," said Barry drearily. "Perhaps she didn't care for me. 1 hope you'll forgive my whining about it, but I wanted to talk to some one, and what you've said to me has done a lot of good." The two men shook hands. Barry laughed uncertainly. "I was so sure," he said, "that I even brought the marriage license down with me. It was sort of a comfort to have it, you know. The firm has given me a raise in salary and extended my territory to the northwest And I thought I could persuade her to marry me at once." He took a folded paper out of his pocket and tore it across. But before he could complete its destruction Delia's slender form stood before him and her hands grasped the marriage license. "Delia!" he gasped, falling back a step. The girl turned a blushing face to the minister. "Mr. Fraser," she pleaded, "please tell him it is all a mistake?" Ten minutes later Ned King came - - - - i_ whistling down tne pain in searcu ui his fiancee. By the river's brink, under the bending willows, he found her, standing with her hand in Barry's, while Mr, Fraser pronounced a blessing on their marriage. For a moment Ned watched them. Then silently, with ghastly face, he turned and disappeared. Indiscreet Memory. !'You and that very charming Miss Malcom were boy-and-girl friends, I'm told?" "Yes." "I saw you talking to her.

TICKET SELLER MIXED UP Under the Circumstances He Could Hardly Be Blamed for Making the Mistake. "Turon." I. L. Pratz, ticket agent at the Itock Island depot, Tooked at the coin under the ticket window and gave in exchange the desired pasteboard and the proper change. "Two to Turon." As deftly did the Rock Island man handle this order, and he slid the same number of tickets to a red-iaced man whose head appeared at the window, and he gulped twice and then said : "Tu-Tu-Turon." When he saw the two tickets he shook his head. Pratz also looked askance at the coin he had received ?it was not enough to pay for both. "Tu-Tu-Turon," gasped the man. ' 'Yes, sir; they're both there, but this isn't enough," said Pratz, holding up the coin to show its denomination. "I-I-T w-want one t-t-tt-ticket to (he stopped to wet his lips and whistled, then gulped) Tu-Tu-Turon." "Oh, all right, sir; my mistake," said Pratz, and put one ticket back in the case.?Hutchinson News. GET TITANIUM FROM RUTILE Rare Metal Is of Much Commercial Value, but Seldom Found in Any Quantity. ftutile, from which is derived the metal titanium, is a reddish, brownish or nearly black mineral composed r>f Htnniiim rlinYidp nrifl thmiorVi it VI. lltuiiiuill \*iV4llv*VJ U1AVA W** V ^ w is widely spread through the rocks it is rarely found in large quantities. Titanium exists in larger quantity in the earth's crust than copper, lead, zinc or any of the common metals except iron, but it is called one of the rare metals because of the lack of concentrated deposits and because the metal is so difficult to separate that it has been seen by few people. The value of rutile arises from the use of titanium as a scavenger in molten steel and cast iron, and from the use of titanium salts in dyeing textiles and in tanning leather. The largest known deposits of rutile are at Roseland, Nelson county, Va. A few other much smaller deposits have been found in the eastern part of the United States, and still other deposits, also much smaller than those in Virginia, have been found in foreign countries. WILD WOLVES IN ENGLAND. Scarborough was in earlier clays famous as a town that provided on its outskirts a shelter for the traveler from the wolves of the land. But the forest that bred the wolves is now a mere thing of tradition. Although Scarborough has a long, fashionable past, it could be written about one hundred and fifty years ago as a fishing place. Mr. Pennant, the industrious tourist of that period, calculated the population at ten thousand, "chiefly sailors, who own 300 ships, which are generally hired out for freight, as the place has scarcely any trade of its own."

WHY MOTHERS ARE JEALOUS. In the Woman's Home Companion appears a delightful story entitled "Every Mother," by Mabel Dill. It is about Billy, a breezy young girl, and Andy, her fiance. Andy introduces Billy to his mother, and the "Morro," Much Played in Italy, It Claimed to Be More Ancient Even Than Chess. We are apt to look on marbles as the most economical of games, but "morro" is perhaps the most economical game in the world, for it demands nothing but a pair of hands. The players each throw out the right hand, with a number of fingers extended. Then each has to call "five," "three," "eight," or any number that he considers equal to the number of fingers extended by himself and his opponent added together. In this lies the test, for an old hand can divine by the very turn of his opponent's fingers how many lie is going to extend. Whenever . a player guesses the right total in any throw he counts it on his left hand by folding in a finger of that hand. It takes nine such correct guesses bj one player to make a game. This game is proscribed by law if practiced in public, hence the devotees betake themselves to alloys and byways. From the silence of these regions comes the telltale howling of the raucous players. As game succeeds game, and the wine they play for is consumed, the play becomes more intense, the cries more hoarse and loud, so that om? would imagine they were dogs barking. No game is older than this?even chess must yield the palm for antiquity?and yet it is as popular and as primitive today as when first played on the banks of the Nile. mother cannot hide a certain ill feeling for the young girl who has monopolized her son. In a heart-to-heart talk Billy exclaims to her prospective mother-in-law: "Don't you s'pose that every mother has just naturally got to feel that way for a while, when she's done everything for him; washed him, and dressed him, and sewed on his bvfc onrl QTirl Vtim AAnlriAC? lv/iao emu. auu mauc ijluu and spanned him, and taught him to say his prayers, and?and everything!

Of course she hates her!" WHAT PAPA HAD. "Brother Jim has the automobile face. Joe has the motor-bike back, ind Sister Sue has the auto-speed 2raze." "Any other automobile ailments in your family ?"
