The twain kept their own council

Mr.. Baker made frequent visits to
the city in which Miss Wells resided,
Flowers, books, music and confec-

lady's home. Long letters reached
her in which the cold. silent man told
her of his early trials and loneliness,
his longings and aspirations for hap

She enjoyed his companionship

The child seemed much more con

his torn trousers than about his own

The Return.

Copyright. 1902, by Daily story Pub. Coz
All through the hot July forenoon a
movers outfit had dragged slowly
along the red, sun-hardened road.
When It reached the top OF long hill
1t swerved in under the shadow OF
some trees and halted. A tall. broad
shouldered man clambered down from
the wagon. and was presently followed
by young woman In sunhonnet and
an old man who peered eagerly from
side to side. The mules were unhar-
messed and fed, and two guant. travel
weary cows united from behind the
wagon and turned loose to Craze.
Then the man took fishing pole and
started leisurely toward n green line
OF bushes, which could be seen wind.
ing along In the distance; the woman
went into the woods to gather fuel.
The old man watched them depart
with evident uneasiness. He loitered
about undecidedly, and at last walked
slowly down the road. A big brindle
dog rose lazily and followed him.
The wagon was concealed from be-
low by an abrupt bend in the road.
chincapin bushes. The old man paused
near them and gazed wistfully into
the valley. Every building, field and
orchard passed successfully under his
gaze, and his dim old eyes grew misty
with loving recognition. Presently he
saw horseman in the distance, and
he looked at him curiously. After
awhile his curiosity changed to In
terest and then to apprehension. As
the horseman came slowly up the hill
he trembled violently and at last
turned and hurried toward the wagon.
As he did SO the dog sprang forward
with loud barks OF suspicion and de-
fiance.
Suddenly there was a sharp report.
and thin cloud of smoke roso hazily
into the air. AS II foated out over
the chincapin bushes the horseman
came into view. There was a smile
of amusement on his face. which In
stantly disappeared as he glanced to-
ward the wagon. Underneath it. and
lying in the shade was the form of
man, apparently asleep.

figure. At the same moment the
woman emerged from the woods.
What's the matter?" she demanded
fiercely. Have you shot him?"
"N-no. reckon not" The man rose
and stood aside as she bent solicitous-
ly over the figure. He seems to
breathe all right and can find no trace
of bullet" He paused moment. but
as she did not answer. added deprecat-
ingly: you see | only intended to
frighten the dog and fired high"
The old man groaned and threw
out his arms as though to ward on
something. The woman stroked his
head softly.
Il low he's all right" she said; he's
been this way considerable lately.

EruIt kept on Rata.

Among the many strange craft thst

that bananas. pineapples and other
tropical fruits spoil 30 easily In hot
weather that they must not be packed
closely. even for an hour. So they
are put on these floats in such a way
that the air can reach them from all
sides. and the trips on the rivers are
made as long as possible.

Food and Brains.

The advantage of fasting for intel.
lectual work is being exemplified by a
professor of the West Virginia univer-
sity, who will refrain from eating food
for 80 days, during which time he will
daily deliver his customary lectures to
the class Of the summer quarter. 1t is
the professors idea that the less food
there is in the stomach the more blood
can be drawn to the brain, and that its
action should be superior in every way
to that of a man who is clogged with
food. 1t will be intei esting to watch
the professors lectures daily becom-
ing more brilliant while his weight de-
creases. One can imagine that the
farther he gets to infinite wisdom, un-
til, when he arrives at the Both day OF
his fast. the thinking world viii be
simply dazzled by the intellectual out
burst. If this is demonstrated, all we
need to do to produce "Thanatopsis"
or a "Gray's Elegy" is to take a COM
monplace poet and place him in a cell
for thirty days on diet of filtered
water.

the new suit which thanks to the
young lady's assistance. proved very
becoming and satisfactory.
Then the happy lad departed to his
home, and the two friends visited an
art gallery.
They were seated before a CHEEKY
crate fire that evening both in a
thoughtful mood. but with a peaceful
ness and contentment in the atmos-
phere that gave quiet happiness to the
long silences.

Druggists, Slams.

The familiar big colored glass
bulbs are gradually ceasing to be a
feature of the decoration Of druggists
windows. In the past they were as
necessary to every drug store as
red and white pole is to barber's
shop. but they have not, as the pole
has, well-defined history. All that
druggists know of them is that they
have been always used as window
ornaments. The brilliant liquids that
they contain are made cheaply and
plainly of chemicals and water Thus,
a solution of copper and ammonia
makes blue: bichromate OF potash
makes orange: aniline dyes have of
late been used in the chemicals place.

The Gall of a Man

The Chinese lay stress on tho
amount of gall a man has and not on
the amount of heart. Thus we read Of
Hou King, who was Governor OF Ho-
nan in the sixth century. that he once
captured rebel named Ii Cheh.
brought him into the market. chopped
of his hands and his feet, ripped up
his heart and his belly and cut out his
vitals. The victim, however, con-
tinued to Jest, with his features un-
distorted and his countenance un-
changed. His gall bladder was then
seen to have the capacity OF a pint
measure. which completely accounted
for his stoicism. In 1916, when the
armies of the Manchus were gradually
overrunning China, one WI Han Chao
made head against them in Anhui. But
he finally fell into their hands. The
historian records that his gall was
three inches Shanghai Mercury.

MInI.ter Makes startlIna chara...

The startling charge that many New
York children are born blind in sub
terranean apartments under great
Office buildings in New York because
their mothers for years have never
seen the light of day is made by the
Rev. DIR. David NJ. Steele, one of tho
curates of st. Bartholomew's parish.
DIR. Steele says: How many know
that some OF the great Office build
ings have under them apartments for
fifty families. and that In these fam
lies children are sometimes born
blind, because their mothers for whole
years never see daylight? How many
know that on the roofs OF these build
ings there are families OF janitors
whose slx-year-old children have never
stepped upon the ground7" DIR. Steele

He was not conscious of the fact
that he threw a damper on every one

He had never known what home

His father had deserted his mother

He knew very few women and they

Elizabeth Wells, a wholesome, at

the summer vacation with Madame

Madame was always ready to well
