I sat down and looked about me in &bray despair. No words can de- scribe the scene, unless we devote a whole page to repeating the word "dismal." Devastatibn always ap- pears to be more complete of a morn - Mg I have observed in my years of experience. A plasterer's scaffolding that looks fairly nobby at sunset is a grim, unsightly skeleton at breakfast time. A couple of joiners' horses, a matrix or two, a pile of shavings and s.'ome sawed-off blocks scattered over the floor produce a matutinal concep- tion of chaos that hangs over one like a pall until his heethetie sense is beaten into subjection by the ham. niers, of a million demons in the guise of carpenters. Morning in the midst of repairs is an awful thing! I looked despaired and then dictated a letter to the Hazzards, urging them to come at once with all their sweltering friends! I needed some one to make me for- get. At eleven o'clock, Poopendyke brought me a note from the chate- laine of the east wing. It had been dropped into the courtyard from one of the upper windows. The reading of it transformed me into a stern, relentless demon. She very calmly announced that she had a headache and couldn't think of being disturbed that day and probably not the next. My mind was made up in an in- stant. I would riot be put off by a headache, -which was doubtless as- sumed for the occasion, -and I would be master of my castle or know the reason why, etc. In the courtyard I found a score or more of idle artisans, banished by the onsweeping tourists and completely forgotten by me in the excitement of the hour. Commanding them to fetch their files, saws, broad -axes and au- gurs, I led the way to the mighty doors that barred my entrance to the other side. Utterly ignoring the supplications of Conrad Schmick and the ominous 'frowns of his two sons, we set about filing off the padlocks and chiselling through the wooden panels. I stood over my toiling min- ion.s and I venture to say that they, never worked hardierer.,,,aster in their lives. Ily.,elve o'clock we had the great doors open isnd swept on to the next obstruction. At two o'clock the last door in the east ante -chamber gave way before our resolute advance and I stood vic- torious and dusty in the little recess at the top of the last stairway. Be- yond the twentieth century portieres of a thirteenth century doorway lay the goal we sought. I hesitated brief- ly before drawing them apart and taking the final plunge. As a matter of fact, I was beginning to feel a- shamed of myself. Suppose that she really had a headache! What an un- couth, pusillanimous brute I - Just then, even as my hand fell upon the curtains, they were snatch- ed aside and I found myself staring into the vivid, uptilted face of the lady who had defied me and would continue to do so if my suddenly ac- tive perceptions counted for anything. I saw nothing but the dark, indig- nant, imperious eyes. They fairly withered me. in some haste, attended by the niost disheartening nervousness. I tried to find my cap to remove it in the presence of royalty. Unfortu- nately I was obliged to release the somewhat cumbersome* crowbar I had been carrying about with me, and it dropped with a sullen thwack upon my toes. In moments of gravity I am always doing something like that. R. T. LUKER Ideextred auctioneer for the County of Huron. Sales attended to is all parte of the county.

Never have I felt so grotesquely out of proportion with myself as at that moment. My stature -seemed to increase ,from an even six feet to something like twelve and my bulk became elephantine.' She was so slender, so lissom, so weak, and I so gargantuan, so gorilla -like, so heavy-handedl And I had write gaily up to crush her! What a fine figitre of a man I wee! She did not complete the sentence, but walked slowly toward the win- dow. I had a faint glimpse of a dainty lace handkerchief fiercely clutched in a little hand. By nature I am chivalrous, even gallant. You may have reason to doubt it, but it is quite true, As I've what you are going to do about it?" I reflected. ' "I think if you don't mind, I'll come in and sit doyen. That was a deuce of a rap I got across the toes. I am sure to be a ,great deal more lenient and agreeable if I'm ask- ed to come in and see you. Inci- dentally, I thought I'd step up to inquire how your headache is getting en. Better, I hope?" She turned her face away, e I su- spected a smile. "If you choose to bang your old castle to pieces, in order to satisfy a masculine curiosity„ Mr. Smart, I have nothing more to say," she said, facing me again -still ominously, to my despair. Confound it all, L he was such a slim, helpless little thing -and all alone against a mob of burly ruffians! I could have kicked myself, but even that would have been an aimless enterprise in view of the fact that Poopendyke or any of the others could have done it more accurately than I and perhaps with greater respect. "Will you be good enougis to send your -your army away, or do you prefer to linve it on hand in case I should take it into my head to attack you?" "Take 'em away, Mr. Poopendyke," Icoinmanded hurriedly, I didn't mind Poopendyke hearing what she said, but it would be just like one of those beggars to nnderstand English -and also to misunderstand it. "And take this beastly crowbar with you, too. It has served its purpose nobly." Poopendyke looked his disappoint- ment, and I was compelled to repeat the order. As they crowded down the short, narrow stairway, I remarked old Conrad and his two sons standing over against the wall, three very sin- ister figures. They remained motion- less. "I see, madam, that you do not dis- miss your army," I said, blandly sar- castic. "Oh, you dear,old Conrad!" she cried, catching sight of the hitherto submerged Schmicks. The three of them bobbed and scraped and grinned from ear to ear. There could be no mistaking the intensity of their joy. "Don't look so sad, Conrad. I know you are blameless. You poor old dear!" I have never seen any one who look- ed less sad than Conrad Schmick. Or could it be possible that he was cry- ing instead of laughing? In either case I could not afford to have him doing it with such brazen discourtesy to me, so I rather peremptorily or- dered him below. "I will attend to you presently, - all, of you," said I. They did not move. "Do you hear me?" I snap- ped angrily. They looked stolidly at the slim young lady. She smiled, rather proudly, I thought. "You may go, Conrad. I shall not need you. Max, will you fetch up another scuttle of coal?" They took their orders from her! It even seemed to me that Max mov- ed swiftly, although it was doubtless a hallucination on my part, brought about by nervous excitement. "By Jove!" I said, looking after my trusty men servants as they descend- ed. "I like this! Are they my serv- ants or yours?" "Oh, I suppose they are yours, Mr. Smart," she said carelessly. "Will you come in now, and make yourself at home?" "Perhaps I'd better wait for a day or two," said I, wavering. "Your headache, you know. I can wait just as well as-" "Oh, no. Since you've gone to all she trouble I suppose you ought to have something for your pains." "Pains?" I murmured, and. I de- clare to heaven I limped as I followed her through the door into a tiny hall. "You are a most unreasonable man," she said, throwing open a small door at the end of the hall. "I am terribly disappointed in you. You looked to be so nice and sensible and amiable." "Oh, I'm not such a nincompoop as you might suspect, madam," said I, testily, far from complimented. I dis- like being called nice, and sometirngs I think it a mistake to be sensible. A sensible person never gets anything out of life because he has to avaid so much of it. "And now Mr. Smart, will you be kind enough to explain this incom- prehensible proceeding on your part," she said, facing nie sternly. But I was dumb. I stood Just In- side the door of the most remarkable 445 eha pt lam4.

Visit the Oakland salesroom and examine its incomparable merit. Be unsparing in your analysis. Cover it point by point and your own sound judgment will convince you that here is motor car value without equal. Note particularly its powerful, quiet, flexible engine, so good that we guar- antee its performance in writing for 15,000 miles. Mark the unusual roomi- ness of its body; the comfort of its deep -cushioned, genuine leather seats. Scrutinize the sturdy chassis construction -the deep frame, long, buoyant springs, the size and strength of every moving part., Observe the beauty of its finish, its full crown fenders, and dram type lamps. Fortify the conviction you will inevit- ably arrive at by questioning any of the many thousands who now own and drive this Six -44 model. They will tell you, as they have voluntarily told us, that they have found this New Oakland a car of unwavering dependability; Luultortable to ride in, beautiful to look upon, and genuinely economical to maintain. Do these things and you will buy this car, not upon our word, but because of its own inherent high quality, quality almost unbelievable in a car that is sold at as law a price.
