The great cog wheels of the turning
gear began to move, like sullen gl-
ant. In the closing dusk, the storm
swept sharpies were lunging toward
the bridge, hardly a quarter of mile
away. She closed her eyes for an in
slant in painting little prayer, and
the draw trembled as it obeyed the
master call of the engine.
She feared to hear the crash of
swapping masts and the cries of
drowning men, Yes, the draw was
swinging. She clamped the lever
down, and snatched a moment to
press her face against the pane The
fleeing oystermen were trying to huff
off little as they saw the draw move
slower than usual. The deep laden
sharpies waved wildly, and Stella
caught her breath in 1aboring gasps.
Would they make it? Would the
draw ever open?
Then the long arm of the bridge
opened a back gap Of water, the fore
most sharpe scraped past by hair
breadth, and the others tore after it
like frightened, living things. Stella
watched the gap close, and when the
draw was again in line with the road
way, she shut off the steam and stop
ped the engine A moment later
there was laundering knock on the
door, and, sheepish and repentant,
young Jackson came in with the
storm

two O'clock" he fa1tered "And I got

The cu1prit bent over the engineer
and atoned for his sins by shouting
the best of news:
"No bones broken, Stella, and his
head is as sound as nut, even if he
has got an awful crack on the outside
of it! This is all I can find, and I'm
a natural born doctors. You stay here

The Bridge-Tender's Daughter:
RALPH D. PAINE.

By RALPH D. PAINE.

DTlQge OH HeI Way HOIllc lIOllI SCHOO1,
she always stopped to make sure that
her fathers dinner was all that such
a wonderful man deserved. AS
soon as the noon whistles blew, the
bridge tender, in his little house
perched high above the middle span,
would begin to look eagerly across
the causeway for the futter of Stel-
las blue skirt and the CLEAN of the
red ribbon on her hat.
She envied her small brother the
honor Of bringing the dinner pail
from home But it was treat OF
which she never tired to climb to the
airy engine house, kiss the big man
in overalls, and hutter round him
while he ate and chatted and pre-
tended to drive her out with flourish
es Of mighty fist.
After school, in pleasant weather,
and when her home duties were not
pressing, Stella would hurry across
the breeze swept causeway to perch in
the window of the engine house and
look down the open harbor toward
the sparkling stretches Of Long Is
land Sound There was always much
to see, especially in the late after
noon, when the oyster sharpies were
sailing home from the days work
At first glimpse their sails were tiny
specks against the blue water If the
wind was fresh and fair, they grew as
if by magic, and in half an hour or so
the laden sharpies came sweeping
toward the bridge like great white
birds eager for home.
Then her father pulled at shin
ing lever, the engine painted and
groaned, and the great bridge opened
its huge arms to welcome the hurry
ing fleet. And the oystermen, skim
ming through the draw, would look
up from under their battered south
westers, and wave their hands at o.
Conne11 the bridge TENDER with such
hearty greetings as these:
"He11o, Bill Here's two dozen fat
ones on the half shell if you'll send
that bright eyed kid of yours round
for 'em after supper"
"A little breezy up there, Stella?
Well you ought to have down off
Black Point to-day. It turned the
oysters plumb inside out"
One afternoon late in the autumn
her mother looked up from he knit
ting, and said to Stella with worried
air:
"Deary, I don't feel quite right
about your father 1t threatens to be
the worst gale we've had in years.
And he had one of his dizzy spells
this morning, and I made him prom

Mrs. O'Conne1 was almost shout
ing, for the wind was crying wildly
over the roof. and the cottage trem-
b1ed with it's fury. Stella stroked her
mothers hair with soothing ges-

oi1u liz waiting OlI LlC Dl1QSC, snug
and warm, till six o'clock Then he'll
coming running like big BEAR"
The mother shook her head, and
went to the window with quick and
uneasy step. She tried to pick up her
work, but her mind was elsewhere.
She turned to Stella again:
"No, I don't like to seem overanx-
ious, but I'm not satisfied. I wish
Bub here was bigger. I'd send him
down to the bridge right away. I
don't often worry, but your fathers
overdue. The storm didn't break till
an hour ago. He had plenty of time
to get young Jackson and be here
long ago. And Jackson's home and
idle, for I saw him this morning"
Stella listened to the war chant of
the northeaster, and hesitated. Then
her young mouth frightened in firm
line of decision as she said:
'1'm going to put On my long boots
and REFER and go down there. The
wet won't hurt me. I can't bear to
see you fretting, mother 1t isn't
dark yet
Her mother protested, but Stella
darted into the hall, and presently re-
appeared, bundled up like a young
midshipman on winters night. She
kissed her mother and was off before
more objection could be raised.
The girl did not know the might of
the sudden storm until she staggered
upon the open causeway across the
marsh. Here the wind had swept up
the unusually high tide, and was fling
ing it across the harbor wall in shat
tered pillows. The biting air was full
of flying scud, which filled her eyes
so that she halted, afraid that a wave
she could not see would dash her
clean over the barrier.
Then she crept over to the lee of
the seward wall, and fell there, pray
ing that strength might come back to
her. Presently she pulled herself
along, inch by inch, escaping the heav-
lest fury of the waves by crouching
close against the wall
Once on the long slope leading up
to the drawbridge, the struggle was
less terrifying, and Stella was able to

Flock up at the little house perched
among the trusses of the middle span
She hoped to see light through
the stormy twilight or face at the
window. But her stout heart sunk
with vague forebodings when there
was no greeting sign from the engine
house. Then she had to fight for
very life as she gained the end of the
bridge whose iron railing gave no
shelter.
The northeaster drove with a clean
sweep across the roadway 1t picked
her up and threw her against the rail-
and left her doubled up, groaning
with pain and fright. Clinging, slip
ping, edging her way along, Stella
reached the foot of the iron ladder
and that led to the engine house.
Her courage fickered and was al
most gone. How could she muster

CINE room door. She stumbled inside
and lay there, painting and sobbing.
When she was able to grope her
way in the shadows round what seem
ed like an empty room, great fear
clutched at her heart. She remem-
bered where the lamps were kept, and
found matches beside them. The
light showed her what looked like a
bundle of old clothes doubled in a
corner. She ran to it and found that
it was her father, who turned little
and groaned A pail of water was on
the table, and she dashed it into his
pale face, which was streaked with
crimson He raised his hand to his
head, and she strove to help him, but
his weight was too great for her to
move
Presently the engineer muttered
brokenly:
"Stella, is that you? I went up on
the roof-about four o'clock-to tight

my head went queer slipped and

only whisper through her ears:

O'Conne1l was silent for a moment,
and then made mighty struggle to
raise himself, but sank back with
hoarse cry of fear:
"The sharpies haven't been through
yet! Who'll turn the draw"
She sprang to the window with
strength revived, and looked down
the harbor The driving rain had
lifted, and the angry sunset broke
through the curtaining clouds. There
was light enough for her to catch a
glimpse of tossing bits of sail. hardly

at her helpless father The agony in

less, for further instructions, Stella
saw that his head had fallen back.
He was again unconscious. Whatev

pointer on the steam gage hickered
and began to move upward, ever so
slowly.
She went to the seward window.

SERIOUS BLIGHT
Result of a Diseased Fungus
Growth on Apple Trees.
KNIFE SHOULD BE APPLIED
Affected Parts of the Trees Must
Be Cut Away and Destroy
ed at Once.

That the blight which is affecting
the apple orchards of Tennessee is of
most serious nature and unless heroic
steps are taken at once to eradicate it
threatens the destruction of a large
portion of the industry, is evident
from the investigation which the state
Entomologist, Prof Morgan, has made.
The official report of Prof. Morgan is
expected to reach the Commissioner of
Agriculture at once, but in telephone
communication with Commissioner O.
gilvie on Thursday, the nature of this
report and the results of the investiga-
tion were outlined.
In the opinion of the Entomologist
the so-called apple blight is very simi-
lar, if it is not the same, as the pear
blight, which has practically destroyed
the pear trees of the state. 1t is the
opinion of the Entomologist and the
high authorities of the University of
Tennessee who have been associated
with him in the investigation that the
disease is not due to an insect, but is
the result of fungus growth which
saps the life and vitality of the trees,
causing the affected limbs to wilt and
die. After the fungus growth has at
tackled limb and caused it to decay
then an insect gets into it and eats the
decayed wood.
1t has been very difficult matter to
combat the pear blight and the fear is
expressed that it will be equally as
difficult to keep the apple blight from
making headway. The only remedy
for the situation is to vigorously apply
the knife Wherever tree is affected
the knife should be applied just as the
surgeon would use it on a diseased
limb of the human body.
In cutting the decayed limbs care
should be exercised that the limb is
detached above the decayed wood. In
other words no portion of the unhealthy
or blighted part of the limb must be al
lowed to remain, otherwise the knife
will be ineffective. Whatever is taken
from the trees must be at once destroy
ed and should be burned entirely up
before there is an opportunity for the
fungus growth thereon to reach to 9th
er trees.
Unless there are vigorous steps taken
at once by the apple growers of the
State to eradicate the disease in the
manner indicated wherever it has ap-
, peared the entire destruction of the ap.
| pie orchards of this State appears to be
only a matter of time. From the re-
ports which have reached the Office o1
the Commissioner of Agriculture the
disease has made its appearance in al
sections of the State, and is spreading
very rapidly.
Prof. Morgan stated to Commission
er Ogilvie that he was now engaged il
preparing for publication an elaborate
article giving the history and causes o
the blight and the full results of hi
experiments and Investigations, togeth
: er with complete description of apply
ing. the remedy necessary. -Nashvill

Making Money from Bees.

The business of beekeeping, accord
ing to a writer in tha New Idea Wo-
mans Magazine for July is light,
fascinating and pleasant. In fact, as
the bees do the work, it seems that
this occupation is the nearest that there
is to having a number of good invest
ments with certain dividends ''The
initial outlay says this writer,
may be very small; fifteen dollars
will secure modern hive, colony of
good Italian bees, with queen, and
all of the necessary accessories. As
soon as a little experience has been
gained, the apiary may be built up by
adding nuclei a few hundred working
bees) together with new queens at
intervals at the cost of a few dollars.
The natural increase win then result
in an apiary of fifty or one hundred
colonies in few years
Many good suggestions are given to
those desiring to add to their income
by this charming industry. 1t appears
that the time to begin the business of
bee keeping is during the summer
months, and There will be little to do
except to watch the bees at their work
and become as familiar as possible with
their habits One duty of the keeper,
however, is to protect the bees as far
as possible from their insect enemies,
brush away the spiders web, craftily
woven near the hive entrance, as well
as to drive off the bold ant who is con-
stantly robbing the bee of her honey. "
Particularly for women, who desire
/ to earn a modest income for them
selves in the country, is bee keeping
recommended as an ideal out door Oc-

Feed House Burned.

TRACY CITY, June S-The feed
house of Samuel Werner was destroyed
by fire last night entailing loss of a
bout four hundred dollars The feed
house was located near the barn, and
saw mill and in close proximity to the
lumber yard, where thousands of feet
of valuable lumber is stocked, and it
was only by the prompt action of the
citizens that greater damage was not
done. A few minutes after the alarm
was given two or three hundred people
were on the scene and the barn and
lumber were kept drenched with water
until the feed house was burned and
no other damage was done. The rail-
road men ran an engine down with a
supply of water, and did valuable SER
vice. There was no insurance.
