The stern portion of the broken ship sank ahnost immed- iately and carried the majority of those on board to a watery grave, but the bow remained fast on the EASY, SAFE WAY TO STEER CAR It is much easier and safer to steer a car with wheels that "toe in" than one with front 'wheels that are straight or "toe out" Front wheels toeing in tend to keep the car in the centre of the road; little or no effort is required of the driver to keep the car moving in a straight line.

'Phe numc Is not a common one, and, between you and I, sister, I do not approve of you being In the service of a man with sueh a record." "You know bust, brother," answered Verde Bruce, a dreary expression corn- ing into her face. Then with an evi- dent effort she controlled herretnotion, went up to her own room, and, throw - Ing herself on its bed, burled her face In the pillows and gave way to sobs and tears, Harold Bruce was a reporter for n commercial agency and she could not doubt his words. For six months Ver - da had been employed in the brokerage office of Dale Vinton. She had never been treated so considerately by an employer. The work had been light and the pay good, Mr. Vinton had shown many little courteous attentions that had won,her respect and esteem. More than that, as she wept her sor- rows away Verde had to confess to herself that she had come to love him deeply, sincerely. Verde arose with a wan face, but her lips were tightly set, and coupled with the expression of misery in her eyes, was a certain resoluteness that led to immediate action. "Harold is right," she murmured, brokenly. "1 will write my resignation and mall it at' once," then, ready to go out to the letter box, Verde suddenly recalled that there were some of her personal belongings In her desk. She had n key to the office. It was one hour after closing time. She decided to visit the office, get her belongings and leave the letter on Mr. Vinton's. desk. Verde reached the building where the office was located, and, the eleva- tors having stopped running, tolled up to the fourth floor. As she neared the door of the offiee she paused, for a light showed through the ground glass door. She listened intently, but no sound broke upon the stillness within. She reasoned that some employee or the janitor had neglected to turn oft the electric light, noiselessly fitted the key to the lock and opened the door a mere crack'and gazed within. With a shock, a thrill, Verde stood transfixed at the scene that confronted her, startled vision. Seated. or rather croched back in a chair was her em- ployer. He was bound securely to the chair and there was a gag between his lips. Coming from the vault were two rough -looking men, carrying between them a little safe. They placed this on a table and returned Into the vault evidently bent upon a further search for money or its equivalent, Verde stepped within the room, closing the door gently behind her. The eyes of her inert and helpless em- ployer were fixed upon her with as- tonishment mingledwith an expres- sion of appeal. Verde knew that she must act at once, and did. Swiftly she tiptoed -to the vault, seized the heavy iron vault door and slammed' it stint, with trembling fingers she shot the krfob bolt. Then site hurried to the side of Mr. Vinton, released his heads from their bonds, and, overcome with excitement staggered towards the tele- phone. She just managed to retain strength to summon the pollee and dropped into n chair In a dead swoon. "Where ere they—those dreadful mea," she stammered incoherently, as sensibility returned and she found her employer at her stele pressing a wet towel to her heed. "Ton brave little woman!" he cried spontaneously. "They are gene—in the hands of the police, and you have the credit of capturing two noted criminals, besides saving my property, Perhaps my life." Verde struggled anstendily to her feet. "I must go, liir, Vinton," she said tremulousle'. "Surely not until you have told ase what this means," sold Vinton in a gentle, persuasive tone, As he spoke he extended the letter of resignation which Verde had dropped to the floor of the room amid ber exciting episode of the hour, She flushed crimson. "I—I am going to work In n now Pace," she faltered Incoherently. Then, at a view of his frank, earnest face , she broke down utterly and sobbed out the entire story appertain- ing to the letter end her visit to the office. Dale Vinton listened gravely. There was a serious look an his eyes as he went to his desk aril removed thence a photograph. Apparently It Was his Own picture, but he explained: , "A cousin of my own name.

And I ciin never lose the old regret that you are not my son—,Ted." "The best men won, mother," he said, for quite naturally he had adopt- ed the name. - The old lady unfolded a closely writ- ten letter. I a.r sense "Tbeir apartment in New York must be a luxurious place," she said, "read for yourself Jed. Nell describes It as a sort of background to her wonder- fully appointed way of living—her de- scription of places and people runs like an enchanted tale, Only one on the inside of things could write so graphically." Nell's mother sighed as the man took the letter. "Nell says that she must still post- pone her home visit. Iter husband is absorbed In business, and cannot bear the thought of being separated from her, so like a dutiful wife, Nell re- mains. If my health would permit, I would go to her—but that Is now im- possible." "Be patient a little longer," lie said, "she is sure to come home snarl. Strange how her father wns lirejn- diced against Lester Williams—In fact how ready we all were to believe him other than he pretended." When Nell's father refused consent to his daughter's marriage with a man of whom he knew nothing—Nell had burled defiance and bidden her mother good-bye. During her father's last days, though his daughter was separated from him, he was glad to know that hie fears were unfounded. that as a husband Lester Williams had proven himself all that could be desired. So Jed, in his greater love found content- ment in that knowledge. He was glad to make less lonely the hours of the invalid mother, Together they read, and delighted in the girl's glowing descriptions of her New York life. Often in a scented letter•came a check—not that mother was in need of checks—just a hit of Nell's "pin money." And then, one evening as Jed sat in his chair at ono side of the fire, and the happily lurttcipnting mother in another—lie found that she had ap- parently fallen asleep, naturally—hut it was a sleep from which even Nell's voice could never an'nlcen her.

If \ell's husband were away tate sad news might he less hard to hear from the lips of a friend. He thought as he hastened dawn an unpreten- tious street past old houses, that he must have mistaken the address. But here was undeniably No. 815. A woman who opened the door hesi- tated at his inquiry for "firs. Lester Williams." Then her face brightened. "Mrs. Nell 'Williams you mean Prob- ably," she said, and directed Jed up a shabby stair. "Room 19'" she eddied, and perplexed by the pervading clingi- ness, .Ted obeyed. It was Nell herself who :equally opened the door, a wraith -like Nell, in a frock as unpretentious as her s rroundings, "Ted 1" she cried, just that; and ".Ted" again. Then, in a strangely natural man- ner, the little white Nell was foisted lu Jed's arms. while he gave the tees• sageofhie visit, After a while she looked up at him, "She was happy?"
