The alleged basis OF the act is that
kissing is dangerous in that it conveys
microbes which may be OF deadly
character. and thus in1ict unnumbercd
woes on the community. This is the
trouble with science. 1t is always

that disease is communicated by kiss

thinks that anyone is going to give it
I'D on that account he is the more de-

We do not wish TO be understood
as saving that the promiScuouS kiss

a good thing. We have serious views
on that subject. but we do not think
that restrictive measures of the kind
proposed are going to be beneficial
On the contrary. they arc gong to
make the matter worse. II so it can
be considered. There is not boy Of
spunk who will not risk expulsion or
a ''licking" to kiss the girl OF his
choice. There is not sensible girl
who will not permit this infraction

thrown away the world for one of
Cleopatra'S kisses. and considered
that he made a good bargain. The
same spirit still survives in the :Ameg-

But t.. be killed and wounded away
from the smoke and the roar OF the
fight: to be shot down by hands not
engaged in the war but merely itching
for human blood seems a tate al
together unsuited for the active and
courageous war correspondent.
While the incident seems incon-
gruous to the average newspaper
reader. it will not strike the CORE
spondents generally as anything ont
OF the ordinary. Such things as being
assassinated when safey seems as
sured are expected by them. They
take their life in their hands the mo-

from that time until they leave it is
a game of hide and seek for they
must be in all places at once and eN-

The life of the war correspondent IS
cloaked in romance so far as the pub
lie can see. yet beneath the cloak
there is ever the rough garment OF
hardship and suffering that must be
worn in silence and kept from view.
Seldom do the readers Of war news

CHINESE FARMER.
Willie Lee Sings Work in Connect
icut.
Hartford Courant.

Hartford Courant.
Bristol boasts OF the only genuine
Chinese garden in the state. 1t is
owned by Willie Lee Sing. who came
to Bristol thirteen years ago and es-
tablished laundry on North Main
street. He landed in this country
twenty-six years ago, so that he has
become pretty we'll Amerlcanized. He
rs industrious and, besides making a
success of his laundry. has made
money raising Chinese vegetables.
Willie is married. his wife being
German, and the couple have two
bright-eyed children who bid fair to
be as good business men as the elder
Willie
There is not much of a market Tor
Chinese vegetables here. but III Hart
ford, New Haven and Waterbury he
finds good market. The Chinese
gardens which is visited by a good
many people each season. occupies
what was intended to be building lot
on Jacobs street. Seven years ago
New York land improvement COM
pany came to Bristol. bought up
tract of land and sold off the building
lots. Willie purchased one OF about
one-third of an acre. on which he de-
cided to raise vegetables for the mar
ket. He tended the garden nights
and odd times. The second year he
branched out little. and now he has
the whole tract arranged almost as
.one would have a flower bed. so far
as neatness and economy Of space are
concerned.
Willie was bothered with people
who helped themselves to vegetables
at night. and he built a fence, with
barbed wire attachments. and is not
annoyed by night visitors now. He.
built up a part of the yard which was
too low. and it is irrigated artifclally.
so that the crops are we'll supplied
by water which is carried to each bed.
The vegetables he raises he calls
Chinese squashes and they bear some
resemblance to our summer squashes.
Early in May he plants seeds in a
small flower pot. When the sprouts
appear he transplants them to beds ar
ranged for then in the garden He
usually has several thousand of these.
and beside each one he sticks pole
in the ground much as the American
farmer prepares for raising lima
beans. The vegetable follows the pole
until it is a good sized plant and bears
fruit.
The souashes are about the shape OF
a cucumber. but much larger and
: longer.
They are picked about the middle
.of August and then Willie visits the
cities to dispose of his crop. As it is
rather late before the Chinese vege-
tables are ready to plant. Willie de-
cided last year to use the garden for
other vegetables while he was waiting,
and the result is that he has become
producer of lettuce. Last season he
took in S15o from a small patch. so
that when he commenced operations
this year he went into it on larger
scale. Now he has growing in his
garden $1,000 lettuce plants which
will be ready for the market in few
weeks. AS soon as the lettuce IS dis
posed of it will be time for the Chin
csc vegetable crop. so ne has the gar
den working all the time.
Around the edges OF the garden he
raises a sort OF Chinese greens which
is in great favor with his fellow
countrymen. He keeps one man work
ing in the garden all the time. and
usually works there himself every at
ternoon.

when out of Aunt Comforts sight, al
ways up to some new mischief aimed at
him. He had fed that phlegmatic i'm
migrant red pepper deftly hid in pie,
coaxed him to take MONDAY nap pill
lowed on a red ant-hill, and then when
he was asleep, stirred up those vicious
insects; he had caught an eel on a set
pole and lowered it writhing on the
hook down inside Hans shirt when
again mapping, and finally put an active
swapping turtle in his bed.
He did all these things out of pure
mischief, but against David Curtis he
bore grudge. 1t dated from that un-
happy epoch ending in a bread-and-
water diet. and Meier missed no chance
to get square with David. In fact get
ting square with those who injured him
was cardinal point in the boys ma
ture. Another thing, he was close
mouthed, and secretly not only plotted
and planned, but afterwards enjoyed
his revenges. How much fruit he
stole from David's orchard, how often
he let bars down and cows into corn
fields, how much garden sass" he ma
liciously destroyed in midnight raids,
no one but himself knew, and he never
told. For years he waged a guerilla
warfare alone on David, and then one
day sharp and perhaps deserved pun
ishment overlook him. There was a
secluded pool in the upper Mizzy
meadow owned by his enemy, and here
Meier and his mates were wont to come
many times each summer to enjoy a
swim. To reach it they had to cross
DaVid's best meadow, trampling the
grass and quite destroying it about
the pool, It angered David to whom
loss of even grass was misery, and
whenever he caught them there, retri-
button with an ox-goad followed. They
came under cover of night, however,
and one boy would take turn as SEN
tinel and David still suffered. He grew
desperate, finally, and as a last resort,
drove stakes along each bank of the
pool and then strung a network of
barbed wire across under water 1t was
a merciless and altogether heartless
trap, and fate decreed one evening, that
Meier should be the first and only one
to leap into 1t. How he suffered, pierced
in dozen places and terribly
scratched, how his agonized screams
were keen JOY to David, how Meier,
dripping blood, ran after the rest Of
the boys and halted not until they
reached safety and a chance to dress
outside David's possessions, need not
be enlarged upon.
Meier had mildly hated David be-
fore-now it was changed to murderous
intensity, and his only ambition was
to seek revenge. He took none of the
boys into his confidence, but true to
the thief's caution, inherited from his
father, resolved to act alone.
And now while David was in sore
distress over Martin Frisbies probable

CHAPTER XIX.
"THoU SHALT NOT STEAL"

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL"
Old Cy Walker once said, IF the
devil should hang a f'penny bit DER
the middle o. hell, Dave Curtis wouldn't
rest till he got it, and while a scarcely
quotable expression, 1t best illustrates
the man.
He had dcep-set cold, gray eyes,
never knowing shade of tenderness;
his hawk nose betrayed the miser as
his retreating forehead did the egotist,
and his bloodless handclasp was as
chill as pump-handle in winter. He
was so thin tho wind could almost
blow through him; his self-conceit was
abnormal, and he was miser1y mean.
On the back wall of the tall pulpit
from which the Reverend Jones each
ton, with occasional descriptions of
the city with jasper walls and pearly
gate, as we'll as the other place-were
the Ten Commandments. David had
to read them once a week at least and
the "Thou shalt not steal,' as the years
rolled on, seemed to smite him more
and more. Often he would resolve not
to read it, and then 1t gave him no
peace until he did. 1t was like mag
net, and out of the entire ten the one
that drew his eyes first. And then, his
solitary, unsocial, and selfish life
worked it's inevitable result. He grew
more superstitious, and the fear that
AMI might return in body or spirit
haunted him at night. He saw him in
his dreams, imagined him peeping into
the house when board creaked, and
waking in the dead of night, he read
Thou shalt not steal glowing in the
darkness. He grew timid, dared not go
alone to dark rooms for fear of meet
ing AMI, and as his mind became dis
eased from brooding over the super
natural, the ghost faint increased.
= And now, in the midst Of all these
fears, came the desire to escape them
1t followed the call from stranger
who sought to buy his most valued
possession, the Mizzy power-in fact
a sequence to that. In spite of his con-
.ceit, David realized he had but few
friends, and now to turn his possessions
into cold cash and establish himself
elsewhere seemed wise. He had, II
his business dealings, visited Riverton
often. and there received more or less

of Greenvale---an homage very sweet
to him. He would escape the sight of
old Cy, Aunt Comfort, Angie. and Other
reproaches. and best of all, as he i'm
agined, escape the haunting fear OF
AMI.
Tnsen came Martin with his astontsh-
ing proposal to buy the Mizzy falls,
and, during that sharp gain-driving,
to insinuate facts and dangers that
gave David cold chills. 1t had resulted
/ in his securing $4,000, and also an adj
dition to his stock Of worriment al
most unbearable. 1t was a proposal
and payment, also, that David, shrewd
villain that he was, could not fathom.
He had heard on all sides that Martin
had returned to Greenvale wealthy. He
knew Of his youthful attachment to
Angie, and his now open and pointed
attentions which undoubtedly meant
MARRIAGE; and as If this combination
of danger was not sufficient, this bold
young man who carried a big roll of
money as If it were a handkerchief,
had limited Of Angles legal rights
against his, that could most likely be
sustained by law! And now, the more
David pondered over this business
transaction, the more sure he was that
it meant a lawsuit later on. He had
the $4,000 fast enough, he had signed
an agreement which in law was almost
as good as a warranty deed; and yet,
before "a hours had passed, so sure was
he that he had walked into trap, that
he would have gladly paid twice $4,000
for the return of that agreement.
His punishment had only just begun.
