TIM HARDER was not enjoying life
at present. Three men had come
down from the city for a fortnight's
soiourn on the Harder fruit farm.
They were wide-awake, up-to-date
chaps, and they had won their easy
going way into the hearts of the
Harder household, except Jim. Even
Pa Harder relaxed his grim features
at their jokes, while Ma. Harder sim
ply revealed in the delight of their
merry company.
But Jim institnctively resented
their presence and their condescend-
ing familiarity. He felt awkward and
ill at ease, and was grudging of re-
Spouse to their addresses. His atti-
pensities, and they made him the
butt of many a joke, clubbing him
|Slow Jim" and easy Mark"
Their chatting, however, was the
least of Jim's troubles. The real
heartache lay in the fact that Lucy
Buskirk had gone to the city for a
visit. He had always known and

fashionable friends had not turned
her. heart from him. She had asked
him to come to the city and return
with her, but that would mean at
least $15 and Pa Harder was not
generous. Then, too, he was ashamed
of his Sunday clothes" He had al
ways felt countrified in them, but
since he had observed the attire of
their summer boarders, the garments
were simply impossible, and he chung

This morning, while moodily mus
ing on his lot, the three tormentOrs
passed him. They were In tourists
costumes, and informed him they
were going down the river on fish
ing excursion, and would not return
until the day after tomorrow.
Jim continued gazing after them as
they passed him, and it occurred to
him that one of them, Lewis Brooks,
a reporter on the Times, was just his
own size and build. Then there was

Upon New Kind

The summer tourist, being engaged in
some naturaliStic pursuits, came upon a bee
which sat leisurely on blade of grass and
seemed perfectly unconcerned, relates
Judge.
How now?" quoth the summer tourist.
This bellies all | have read about the busy
bee"
What does?" asked his guide.
why, that bee on that blade of grass
has been sitting there all morning, evident
ly, and still gives no sign of intending to
go to work
"Oh, he doesn't have to go to work for
some time yet" explained the guide.
He doesn't? What variety of bee is hep"
That's what they call the husking bee.

He packed a dress suit case with
sufficient supplies for a night and

BURIED IN HAREM FOR YEARS.
Bulgarian Officers Beautiful Wife
Stolen and Sold by Turkish
Brigands.

A romantic story has come to light
of the abduction of a wealthy mar
ried Bulgarian woman of good family
and her Incarceration in Turkish
harem for seven years, says a Berlin
report.
Nine. Gerschoff, the wife of a Bull
garian officer stationed in Kaibilar,
on the Turko-Bulgarian frontier, and
who was then only % years of age,
was of such surprising beauty that
her fame spread.
One day, when her husband was
away at the maneuvers, number of
Turks entered the house, seized Nine.
Gerschoff and carried her across the
Turkish frontier. A servant wit
messed the capture, but was unable
to do anything but alarm the police,
who were powerless as soon as Nine.
Gerschoff had been conveyed into
Turkish territory. The Bulgarian
government took the matter up, but
Nine. Gerschoff had disappeared and
no traces of her could be found.
1t has now transpired that she was
conveyed to Constantinople and sold
to a wealthy Turk for $1,000 by the
brigands, who had kidnapped her.
She became an inmate of the Turks
harem, and remained in a bondage
worse than death for seven years till
the chance visit of a Russ sian woman
doctor to the harem gave her an OPP
portunity of escape.
The doctor, at the risk of her own
safety, helped Nine. Gerschoff to es-
cape, and brought her to the Russian
consulate in Constantinople. The
Russian consul put her on a Russian
steamship which landed her at the
Bulgarian port of Burgas, where the
authorities took charge of her and
sent her back to her home.
The most agonizing fear of true
lover is that his lady shall think him
