A Literary Curiosity.

Some years ago q Paris newspaper
ordered a story of adventure from q
well Known novelist. The price agreed
upon was ] franc a line. The novelist
straightway hunted up an old man of
letters-the unknown collaboration Of
many more famous authors - who
agreed to write the story for 25 cen
times a line. When the work had
reached its second part in the course
of publication the novelist learned that
his old client was seriously Ill. Hasten
ing to his bedside, he found him dying.
In agony for the fate of his story, the
novelist rushed to the Office Of the
newspaper, got hold of some back
numbers In order to pick up the
threads Of the romance and brought
1t to u speedy end in few brief
chapters. Then he went to the Office
with the manuscript
"What's thatT asked the editor.
"Why, the continuation and end Of
my story"
"Oh, then, you want to change It,
suppose because, you know, you sent
in the last chapters three days ago"
Admirable self possession on the
part of the novelist prevented disaster,
and he finally found this explanation:
The old man, whose price was 25 CEN
times line, had himself sublet his
task to third writer at 10 centlmes,
and thus the work had been finished
In safety.

Why q Swelling Follows Blow.

The swelling which follows from
blow Is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep it
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of in
jury is not even now quite understood.
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
interferes with the flow Of blood
through them, and the white corpus
cles, with part of the serum, the wa
tering part Of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues. At the same
time the blood vessels In the neighbor-
hood dilate, and the increased flow of
blood with the thoroughfare obstructed
increases the swelling. 1t is probable
that the white corpuscles Of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist In the re-
pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in
jury to their storehouse, but with this
difference-that the substance Of the
corpuscles is probably converted into
the tissue Of repair. From one point Of
view the human body is only one gl-
gantIc colony of individuals and the
swelling that follows injury but the
rush of these to repair the breach.

The Value Of an Opinion.

One of the most discouraging fea-
lures in the case of the young man
who stays at home is the fact that, no
matter what he may do, he seldom is
given credit. II he takes his fathers
business and makes 1t go big. every
body gives the credit to the father. /
know Of one case in a small western
city. A merchant who had been con-
sidered wealthy and prominent died
and left everything to his son. The
boy had been away from home for
three years and was doing fairly well
In strange city without relying upon
paternal assistance. He returned and
took hold Of the business. To his sur
prise, he found conditions rotten. Be-
yond the good will the assets scarcely
would cover the liabilities. He dug in,
worked desperately and in two years
time had things Strengthened out and
was on the highroad to prosperity. A

DIVIDING THE
REWARD.

Bertha looked up in dismay as the
stranger entered. Kenton City was
not so far ahead OF a frontier town
that holdups were absolutely unknown,
and the sudden appearance Of this
brawny intruder did not suggest a
peaceful errand.
Tremblingly she made change for the
fifty dollar gold certificate he handed
her after deliberately testing Its gen.
uineness and pushed the little pile of
bills toward him.
Aren't you rather young to be left
In charge of bank?" be asked as he
deposited the change in his wallet. 'T
supposed that three or four men were
the usual crew. not little girl"
Il am not a little girl" she said In
dlgnantly. I'm nineteen, and guess
this will help me out"
This" was a huge revolver, and as
she held 1t toward him he noticed that
1t trembled in her uncertain grasp.
I'm satisfied" he said, with laugh.
"Please put it down."
81 guess there's no one going to rob
this bank even If there is only a girl
In charge" she said defiantly. "Any-
how, father and the cashier will be
back from lunch shortly"
''They lunch rather late here" was
the significant retort as he glanced at
the clock. Three o'clock lunches are
rather rare in Kenton City, are they
notT"
Bertha's heart sank. So he must
know that her father was Ill In bed
and that the cashier, the only other
official of the bank. had gone over to
the railroad. Perhaps he knew also
that in the vaults were the payrolls Of
the two mines which made the First
National financial possibility.

A ouain. Scotch Weddina Custom.


A quaint wedding custom still pre-.
walls in many Of the little country
towns and mining villages in Scotland.
When a wedding is held the contract
ing parties make their guests pay In
full for the eating, drinking and dane
ing facilities which are usually pro-
vided on such occasions. The practice
still seems to survive even in Glasgow.
A correspondent observed a notice
posted up in the Cowcaddens, a low
class Glasgow thoroughfare, informing
the public that soldier would shortly
enter into the bonds of wedlock and
that twopence would be charged for
admission to the ceremony and an ad-
ditional sixpence imposed for attend

tice seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but
sixpence certainly seems moderate
enough for a marriage supper-West.

Butte Bill, who led gang Of cut

the wire screen. She hastened to make
pleasant reply, and presently she had
forgotten the character of her visitor
in the charm of his conversation.
Robber he might be, but he was GER
tainiy a most charming fellow and had
Travelled far. He soon had her so in
terested in his tales of "back east"
that promised land Of which she had
heard so much and seen nothing at all,
that she was sorry when at last the
clock chimed and she was forced to
rouse herself and announce that 1t was
time to close the doors.
'I've enjoyed our little visit I'm

mind. Butte must not be permitted
to escape. She caught up the gun

warned. he stepped back, and for ten
minutes he looked eagerly out OF the
door. Then he gave cry. and with a
sigh Of relief Bertha turned her head
to greet the newcomer.
For an instant she gasped, for the
newcomers arms went above his head
promptly. and his revolver went clat-
tering to the ground. In general ap'
pearance he was the double Of her first
visitor. though he lacked the frank
ness. expression and genial lines about
the eyes.
His action reminded her Of her cap
tive, and she turned. To her surprise
he had whipped out revolver and had
the other covered.
"Will you oblige me by feeling In my
coat and taking out pair Of handouts

Bertha drew out the glistening brace
lets and snapped them about the new
comers wrists. Then. the other man
came forward, and with the heavy
leather belt he wore about his waist
he fastened his victims feet.
"This is Butte Bill" be explained as
he dragged his captive to chair.
There are probably two others of the
gang waiting outside. You stand over
him and shoot him II he attempts to
get away. "I'll see IL can round up
the others"
Depriving the bandit of his weap-
ons, the stranger slipped out. Pres
entity there was sound Of firing, then
silence. The girl and the man In the
bank stirred uneasily. Bill was anxious
as to the fate Of his accomplices. and
Bertha felt an unaccountable strong
interest In the welfare of the stranger.
The minutes that sped by seemed like
hours until. with whoop, crowd
burst into the bank and relieved her of
her guard duty. The stranger was in
the van, bloody handkerchief wrap
ped about his left hand and a thin
stream Of blood trickling down the side
of his face.

as he saw her look of dlsmay-"just
scratch on the head and ball through
the palm"
"The sheriff can take care of these
men," she said. "Come home with me
and let me fix you up."
Rapidly she closed the vaults and led
him down the street to the little home
where her first aid to the injured had
more than once gained her the title of
'the little DOCTOR"
Over the bandaging he told her that
he was a railroad detective looking for
some car thieves and that one of the
Butte band had mistaken him for the
leader and had uncovered the bank plot
to him. He had seen q chance to earn
the reward, and so he had sought an
excuse for lingering around the bank
until the desperate had put in an ap-
pearance.
II did not want to alarm you," he
explained, $50 I said nothing, though
IL had had my hands in the air much
longer l should have had to speak in
self defense"
"And I thought was earning the re-
ward" she laughed.
"You did" he insisted.
"Not at ALL" she contradicted.
"Then half" he pleaded.
She shook her head, and it was six
weeks later before Greg Hallett's hand
healed and they effected compromise.
Then they used the reward for the
honeymoon.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY
ARE CLUB WOMEN
Skip Rope and Do Other Things to
Forget the Flight of Time,
Which Leaves Them
Ever Young
Special to The Herald.


SANTA MONICA, Jan. 17.-There
were anughty carvings on yesterday
afternoon at the monthly high jinks of
the Never Grow Old club, which met
at the residence of Mrs. H. A. Morton,
one of the young" members, who is
only 72 years of age.
To get membership into the Never
Grow Old club is not altogether easy.
First, because only women 60 years of
age or more are eligible; second, be-
cause the membership is restricted to
twelve, and third, because death is the
only thing that ever leaves an opening
for access into the organization. Four
members have died since the formation
of the unique body ten years ago, and
in their memory four beautiful roses in
full bloom reared their heads and
smiled from the center Of table bur-
dened with the delicacies of the season
to which the members sat down.
The repast was followed by rope
skipping an old fashioned three-cor-
nered country dance and other kinds
of cuttin up. 1t is one of the rules of
the club never to discuss disease or
misfortune at any of the meetings and
wearing of bright colors is considered
good form. The combined ages of the
members is 7S3 years and they are all
in excellent health.
The names and addresses of the
members are: Mrs. C. H. Putnam,
president, II years old, 1902 Santee
street. Los Angeles: Mrs. G. Lisk, old
est members, IS years old, 81 Montana
avenue, Pasadena; Mrs. Elizabeth
Goldsberry, 1716 Toberman street, Los
Angeles: DR.. Ruth N. Wood. 1912 Calu-
met street; Mrs. M. w. Briscoll, 929
Georgia street; Mrs. B. Gray. 225 Belle
vue avenue; Mrs. M. Marian, 235
North Hope street; Mrs. Helen Cald-
well, 3102 East Fifth street, Mrs. d.
w. Dunks, 1902 East Fifth street; Mrs.
M. Kendall 344 South Hoover street:
Miss NJ. e. Hill, 1241 West Twenty
third street, and Mrs H. A. Morton,
27 Hill street, Santa Monica.
Once each month the club meets at
the house of a different member, thus
in years time each member enter
tains the organization once.
