Braidon Justice of the Peace,.. .Harry Fisher Colored Minister Wesley Jenkins 4Mrs. Spencer Ada Neville "Dot" Emma Wilcox Mary Lucile Smith, a girl "who just can't make her ideas behave," is a charming and irrepressibly high spirited young boarding school miss. Along with the other young ladies of a fashionable school, she indulges in a Hallowe'en prank, which includes tying up the doors of the teachers' rooms and a wild orgy of Welsh rarebit and ginger ale. John Chiverick blunders into the festivities and it is just Mary's luck to have the teachers discover the young man" hidden in Mary's room. She is so chagrined at the disgrace of this discovery and her expulsion from school that in sheer desperation she embraces the young man's suggestion that they elope. Fortunately for Mary, her father arrives upon the scene just as they are married, but not before she has discovered that John Chiverick is a bungling lyoung chap with whom she is far from being in love. The marriage is promptly annulled and Mary has a year or two in Europe in which to forget her indiscretion. By the time she returns John is safely married to a pretty and jealous young lady, and Mary's friends have well nigh forgotten her childish escapade. She falls in love with Larry Mc- Leod, a young man whom she had first seen on the eventful morning of her elopement, and for whom she had ever since kept a warm spot in her heart. Larry does not recognize th heroine of that early adventure, bui he loses no time in falling in love with the charming young lady who is introduced to him as "Mrs. Lucile Smith." Now, it happens that Larry is supposed to have no use for grass widows. Lucile is betrayed into giving him the impression that her ex-husband is dead. Larry's sister invites Lucile to her house party and Lucile is horrified to find among the other guests John Chiverick and his new wife. So is Chiverick horrified, for his wife, Conlie, has an uncomfortable habit of displaying too great an interest in the half-mythical Mary Smith, the heroine of his earliest matrimonial adventure. f So here they are, all in one house, Lucile desperately determined to keep from Larry the fact that she has an ex-husband living; Chiverick equally determined to prevent his wife from learning the identity of the young woman with whom he had once eloped; and Larry making desperate love to Lucile and trying to run down the mystery which seems to sense the air. There are complications innumerable before all the misunderstandings are smoothed out and the loving couples properly mated. The climax comes when Lucile, aided and abetted by John Chiverick, attempts to run' away from the country house at midnight in a pouring rain and is overtaken by Larry, whereupon nothing is left for her but to confess and receive his-assurance that he cares not at all about the past she has been so anxious to hide.

GAS A NECESSITY Oil and bituminous coal are the two chief items ot raw materials used in the manufacture of artificial gas. Suppose they should cost so much that 1,166 artificial gas companies in the United States could no longer operate without huge losses. Suppose these companies were forced to close down their plants and to shut off the supply of gas for even a single day? What jvould happen? Immediately the lives of more than fifty million persons in America who depend upon gas for cooking, heating, lighting and industrial purposes would be vitally affected. Their homes would be darkened at night. Their meals would be served uncooked or cold. Their rooms would be cheerless. The bath would become an icy plunge. Laundry and kitchen work would be a drudgery. And outside the home thousands of big industrial plants would be crippled. Weigh these facts carefully and you will realize what a tremendous part artificial gas plays in modern civilization. It is the very life blood of 4,600 of our most prosperous cities, towns and villages. IT IS A NECESSITY!
