What was that noise?" the woman
asked, intensely, drawing quickly away
from the other.

There was long silence.

be good to him, brought him little

kinda funny all the time, sorta pitiful,
an yet l can't exactly tell how he
looked. I took it JUS tn same as any
nurse would a fever patient-allowin'

he wished l could always be aroun' tibet
little cabin o his'n an the words scared
him. an he looked out at the rainy
peach blossoms for long spell, red as
any lamp shade. Another time he said

supreme intelligence intended the breed

Or sOmepin' like tibet. An then his
cough eased up and he TUX to work, and

IoACu.
A few minutes before four the next
morning, while it was still black night,
Dudley drew up his rig at Hatfeld's
gate. There was neither sound nor sign
of light in the shanty, so the driver made
a huge noise and prepared to wait.
Scarcely 80 seconds passed before Hat
field appeared in the clothes he had worn
the night before. Dudley turned his
lantern upon the gaunt figure.

manded, laughingly. Cant do 'thout

Hatfield obeyed silently, and two min
utes later was driven rapidly toward
Titman lake. The horse was fastened
on the high rail and Dudley led the way
to the cove.

experience explained-"12-gauge ham
merless. Press down that little lever on
the left side an you cock her. @. No,
don't cock her yit. She's loaded!'
They had mile to walk. The day
was gathering.
'S-sh-h!" warned Dudley. We're
purity nigh thar Ye don't want t. skeer
'em! BY cripes, but ye're fool with a
gum"
"Did you say that you press this left
lever down to cock the piece-both bar
rels?" Hatfield gasped.
Sure whispered Dudley. THE

Titman was ahead, showing up pearl
gray in the dawning, like the mist which
hangs over a bog.
"S-sh-h!" warned Dudley "Thar's a
flock down in the cove-hear EN-?
Well get a bunch-fust shoti"
They crept on. Dudley turned at last,
his body bent behind an artificial blind
in the edge of the bluff over the cove
His arm was raised to further command
silence.
Hatfield was crouched, too. The
nerves of the man wrung horrid scream
from his throat, before the crash of the
gun.
That instant 1t seemed that the whole
lake ratified and clacked, but the sound
was merely from the cove where the
vast flock was rising. -. Hatfield saw
the other sink upon his gun, his chin and
throat blotch of deep color
Two or three hours later Hatfeld's
brain assumed command of surviving
faculties. He was two miles away on
the far shore of old Silver. He was
harboring a world of ancient pas
sion - that of killing himself. The
lake was there, but it did not ap-
peal. The knife in his pocket Mortified
He wanted one more shell. Dudley ha
given him two, but both barrels were
empty. There were innumerable shells
on Dudley's body. He started back, run
ming.
The place was changed. Dudley was
not there! Other hunters had come to
the blind. Hatfield searched on his
hands and knees for one dropped shell.
Thus he was found by those who required
him.
The twelve wise men adjudged him in
sane after many days, but the woman
who knew most, yet who had done no
wrong-remained to weep. - Chicago

SMILED ONCE. TOO OFTEN.
Flirtatious Young Woman Practiced
 Her Art on the Wrong ss;;s Young Man.

A certain young lady who walks along Chestnut street and who would like to ffirt, but doesn't dare to, had an experience some time ago which, it is hoped. will teach her a lesson, says the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 It appears that several times in the course of her perabmulations she had happened to meet man at whom she would look sideways and with most tempting air. Yet if the man dared to look at her in any other way than that of an utter stranger she would freeze him instantly
 This thing of being encouraged at one moment and frozen at the next did not suit the young fellow any too well. Tn speaking about it to a friend, it appeared he had had the same experience. The girl would look at him and almost smile. yet if he responded at all he would get ter rible glare for his pains.
 So these two willy and cold-blooded fellows arranged scheme to the eff. feet that one should walk immediately back of the young lady as she ad- vanced down the street. the other com ing from the opposite direction. All went well, and the young lady came walking along as usual, with her smil- ing and tantalizing side glance at the man walking toward her.
 What was her amazement to be. hold him smile brightly, lifting his hat. and start toward her with out stretched hand.
 'Why, how do you dor" said he, loudly. "Tm awfully glad to see you. :"
 "Sir!" she said, drawing herself up and casting whitening glance at him.
 When did you get in the city, Frank?T he went on. passing her by wikh look of amazement and shak- ing his friends hand with the utmost heartiness.
 The poor girl blushed painfully, standing there the exposure of all eyes One moment she stood, utterly att a loss, then walked rapidly away,

At a meeting of the league week ago it was voted to fine any player playing with an independ- ent team during the league season $1OO MT O'Rourke said: T see no reason why this, fine should not be inn posed on Tuckey if he pitched the game. for one shall insist on it and I think the other directors will do the same. There is no reason why the league should make rules if they are not to be enforced" Tuckey, it is said, received $60 for pitching for Rockville He also pitched for New Haven yesterday and the game was not protested.

 George F. Mcbride, shortstop of the St Joseph Western league baseball team, has been purchased by the PLUS burg club of the National league.

John Hay in New York.

Mr.. Hays speech In New York last night
was pitched in the key associated with
his name and accomplishments. 1t was
dignified and direct, rounded of form. fe-
licitous of phrase and easy of digestion.
1t made no appeal to passion. and scarcely
one to partisanship. For. although 1t was
a partisan speech, intended to influence
votes for Mr.. Roosevelt, it dealt so candid
ly with the record. there was much in It
which democrats might have openly ap-
plauded Many of them In secret will prob
ably do so upon reading 1t. Men Of the
intellectual and moral stamp of Mr.. Hay.
Mr.. Knox. Judge Taft and Mr.. Moody are
the sort to whom both sides in the future
should look for services on the stump. They
with others. have lifted discussion in this
campaign very high. and put quite to shame
the old style slangwhanging and roar of the
professional spelbinder. The American
people of today are. as rule, so far adj
vanced in information about public affairs
and In such intimate touch with good read
ing matter. there is certain affront in
any attempt to tickle them with claptrap
smelling of bar room chatter and scurvy
invention.

Rockefeller should have spoken for him
self. He is a citizen and an individual in

a citizens interest in candidates and cleo

wants him elected. why. certainly. And.
not to put too fine point on it. as he has

paign fund the same as any other fellow.
But he should speak for himself in such
matters and not through an agent.
1t may be objected too. that the agent.
through Instructions or otherwise, does not
satisfy the public directly upon the real
point now at issue. This is as to whether
Mr.. Rockefeller, with his enormous wealth
and corporation prestige. is not supporting
Judge Parker. The agent merely says that
