Even a careless glance around the

In one corner Of the room stood a girl
with pink cheeks and hazel eyes.
Around her were four young men all
claiming the same dance. Laughingly
she held up her card, which showed a
blank line opposite that number.

this, ''you wouldn't let me write my
name, but you promised just the same"

''Same here" calculated the fourth.
"Well, I'll tell you,'' said the girl in
confidential manner that made each
man think she meant him especially.

"No,' argued the man who thought
he had the inside track; >"let's take

suit the action to his word.

laughed one.
Some Of the color left the pink cheeks.
Could they have guessed how near the
truth his jesting remark came? Why
had she not slipped away before this
last waltz, which she had purposely
withheld all the evening? As matter
Of fact, she had promised it two weeks
ago, but much had happened in those
two weeks, and now-well, no one
should laugh at her or say she was
breaking her heart for a man who
didn't care for her. If she only could
get through this waltz safely she
thought she would have courage enough
for anything else

tie laugh, shifting her big bunch Of pink
roses to her left arm; ''I'll dance it with

She stood ready and the first of the
four was just about to swing her off

suffice to soothe his, injured feelings.
It would be best to notify Mr.. Barlow
Of this fact and turn him back and say
good night. ? .".?... 49,
At about the hour mentioned above
Uncle Peter reused up out Of doze
with new theory. It was to the ef-
feet that some lightning rod men
might come along in the night and
seek to arouse the house for lodgings
and step into that waiting bear trap.
He was about to get up when he re-
membered that a man of lightning had
cheated him out of $40 five years be-
budge.s He had just come to- this de-
cision when old Mrs. Davis said: :
"Andrew, I'm goin' to get up and go
over to Scott's." :
"What fur?" he dreamily asked. =.
:. 1--WE got theory that Uncle Peter
has hung himself In the wood shed."' .
''Nonsense!
"Don't say nonsense to me. l never
had theory yet that didn't turn out
right. I'm goin' right over there, and
II you hear me yell out you'll know
what has happened"
She partly dressed and left the house.
Jennie and Mr.. Barlow and the horse
and buggy were not so far away that
she could not have made them out had
she been less occupied with her theory,
but as it was they escaped her notice.
The wood shed to every We'll regulated
house Is in the rear. 1t was so in the
case Of the Scott home. To reach it
old Mrs. Davis had to leave the straight
path, and she hadn't made above ten
steps when there was scream and a
long drawn yell to freeze the blood Of
all hearers. Uncle Peter heard it as he
was beginning to dream of broken hoe
handles and fat moles, and he jumped
out Of bed.
Old Mr.. Davis heard it as he dozed
and wondered about theories, and out
Of bed he came with his hair trying to
stand on end. Jennie and Mr.. Barlow
heard it and started forward with ex-
CARNATIONS Of alarm, and thus it hap
pened that the four reached old Mrs.
Davis at about the same time. She
had been caught in the' bear trap, Of
course. In leaving the path she had
stepped fairly into it, and as the jaws
came together she felt, as she said
afterward, that the last day had come
and she was ready to sail away.
There was an exciting time for the
next ten minutes. The poor old woman
was frightened half to death, and a
good deal bruised by the teeth Of the
trap, and while she was being carried
across the road her husband was an
nouncing his determination to have sat-
isfaction under the law. Uncle Peter
realized that his theory had failed, and
Jennie and Mr.. Barlow had been dis
covered conspiring, as it were. 1t
wasn't until the victim had been put
to bed, her hurts attended to by doc
tor and her husband Gained down by
a promise that the right thing should
be done that Uncle Peter turned on the
young folks and demanded:
"Well, what you got to say about all
thfs?"
Nothing, father" answered Jennie.
Nothing, Mr.. Scott" added the mer-
chant.

But few men are 80 far removed

who owns a fertile, well-stocked
farm. The husbandman free from
debt is independent and free from
care. The farmer with a mortgage to
pay off his holdings is usually wor-
ried and apprehensive. as sickness
may prevent success. Very often,
though, a mortgage is an advantage.
as its liquidation develops habits of
economy, industry and thrift. To OBJ

similar to those OF Maine for sweet

North Dakota has a drastic prohibi-
