Perhaps it's because he seems to know
it. 1 suppose a woman likes man

Margaret's color deepened little.

She was doomed (for her sins, she
told herself) to see much of him in
the next few days, and he experienced
what he called the attraction Of re-
pulsion. He could talk we'll when he
pleased and he exerted himself to
talk his best when they were thrown
together, but from any verbal en-
counter he invariably came away with
a feeling that he had been worsted
and he often chafed at the hooking
temptuous look in the depths of her
grey eyes. He was particularly con-
scious of that look one day at the
beach. He was teaching Maud Pat
terson to swim and there was a good
deal of the vine about Maud. Mar

burn resented that He rather re-
scented the way Teddy Alderman was
following her about, too, and the
fact that she seemed rather to like
that idiots attentions did not increase
his-well, his respect for her.
There came an evening at last, how
ever, when his old feeling of warmth
and affection for Alderman revived.
He had watched him strolling in the
ravine path that ran below the house;
just a glimpse here and there between
the trees and he had noticed that the
woman with him and to whom he
was talking earnestly was-Margaret.
1t was not at that moment, when a
strange pain shot through his breast
and the blood swelled and throbbed at
his temples, that the old feeling re-
turned. 1t was when Teddy came
striding back alone, his head upon
his breast, his face white and drawn
and his eyes blank and unseeing, that

For a moment Hepburn stood look

within him at the thought of the in
jury done to his friend by that cold,
heartless, unwomanly-t Then came
an impulse to confront her, to upbraid
her, pour the walls of his wrath and
contempt upon her. An unreasoning
impulse of anger that sent him swiftly
through the wood to where Margaret
sat crouched in the fern beside the
path, sobbing as if her heart would
break, and at the sight of her and the
sound of her weeping Hepburn's anger
passed from him and the scales fell
from his eyes.

when Hepburn first saw the young
woman he was rather taken with her.
A little later he decided that she was
altogether to self-reliant and self-pos-
sessed for his taste. There was
man in the party who had really
achieved something in the world OF
art and was being Ionized, a process
to which he seemed to take to rather
too kindly; a man who aroused an in
tolerable itching in the toes of every
other masculine person present Hep
burn noticed that Miss Pollard was
one of the very few of the women who
did not assume the attitude of ador-
alton in the presence of the Genius
Perhaps the Genius noticed it, too,
for he left his little circle of lovely
worshipers and seating himself by
Miss Pollard's side honored her with
some of his exclusive and original
views of things, general and particu-
lar.
Hepburn happened to be close by
and heard the conversation, which
filled his soul with joy.
"a steel trap is leisurely, even dila-
tory compared with her. he said that
evening to a select audience of the
over one Hdo AAAA1 1cieIAO0
in the first round, and dazed and rub
bling the ropes before the third. You
never saw a girl with a quicker set
back, and he never really landed even
once
"She must be all right said Ted
dy Alderman, 81 think I'll reward
her for that with little of my socie-
~. L am Interested.
81 wouldn't be-" counseled Hep
burn. THE Genius isn't exactly
fool even if he acts like an ass. AS
for you, you would simply be skinned
alive if you began being pretty to her.
1 wouldn't want to try it myself, 1
know"
'Why?" asked Teddy.
"Oh we'll, l take it all back" said
Hepburn. Il didn't mean to discuss
the young lady. She is mighty clever
and charming and handsome and
what do you say to a little gamer"
If Hepburn had continued with what
was in his mind he would have said:
She is too self-poised, too independ-
ent, mentally and physically. A man
could never assume an attitude of
protection toward her. She rows and
shoots better than four-fifths of the
men here, and 1 couldn't have played
the fish myself better than she did
yesterday. Then she knows too much
for a woman and hasn't any femi-
nine foibles as far as 1 have noticed.
There's not enough of the clinging
vine about her. Not that l care a
continental about her one way or the
other
Being in this Indifferent frame of
mind Hepburn for some days avoided
Miss Pollard; then he concluded that
his avoidance might perhaps seem
marked, and after all, he had no
reason to dislike the young lady. He
was crossing the field to the tennis
court with Teddy Alderman when he
made up his mind to this, and he had
a vague idea that Teddy was babbIing
about something. but his eyes were
fixed upon figure in a white dress
half reclining in the shade of a noble
beech.
Isn't she a Queen?" exclaimed Ted
dy, enthusiastically. Here's my
chance now. Don't you spoil the
sport, my son. You're due to play
with Polly, and we'll watch you

NEW KIND OF FAIR FAKIRs
Egg Throwing Contest Met With
Crowds Appreciation.

Crowds Appreciation.
Punxsutawney, Pa, has had a
county fair recently. That in itself
is not an unusual event in this little
unpronounceable burg, since it has
the fair habit, but one of it's methods
of entertaining the crowds was origi-
nal, to say the least.
1t outcoEey Coney Island, and made
a big hit-in fact, several of them;
for it consisted of an egg throwing
contest, which was conducted on
strictly primitive lines, and the requi-
site impediments were of Jeffersonian
simplicity.
The apparatus consisted of pile OF
straw OF one side of the street; be-
hind this was framework of poles,
upon which was stretched a canvas
with a circular hole in it. Through
this aperture the 'easy mark" an
Italian, whose facial geography was
apparently indestructible, thrust his
head as a target for the unsayory mis-
siles-hen fruit in all stages of devel-
opment toward chickenhood.
The princely sum of five cents for
three throws was charged By the
time the money thrower had swallow
ed about two dimes, the canvas, with
its physiognomical decoration, grew
in resemblance from a sunset in the
Alps to a dozen Mont Pelees and a
deluge thrown in.
The street was sticky with eggs,
the Italian gentleman was drowned
in obsolete albumen and the crowds
thickened. So did the fun; ditto the
eggs. So great a drawing card did
the egg throwing booth become at
last the police were required to clean
out the crowd. And afterward the
city fathers were needed in a body to
clean out the streets.
But the importation from sunny
Italy had in the meantime cleaned up
several hundred dollars, which un-
doubtedly was of great assistance in
cleaning up his face.

Unusual Expedient Against Rats

Unusual Expedient Against Rats.
A large London meat house which
had suffered severe loss through tho
devastations committed by rats hit
upon a novel scheme to abate the null
sance. A regular system of kindness
was practiced upon the rodents. Food
to their taste was left for them at
regular intervals. 1t was given them
to understand that the management
considered it great pleasure to have
them about the premises. ALI cats

At the end of six months the rats he
came quite tame and would eat out of
the butchers hands. The dainty
meals reserved for human beings
were henceforth left untouched, ro-
dent notions of honor being exceeding
ly strict. The result is that, although
the rats are daily on the increase,
with no limit in sight, the firm is
rsany pounds ahead, and on the road
to prosperity.
