Randolph Sanatorium Not to Close
The threatened closing Of the Ran

increasing Indebtedness and the prospect
Of future financial embarrassment, caused
general feeling of regret and a good
deal Of protest from the community,
which has come TO a realizing sense Of the
great value Of such an institution.
The directors met last Thursday 20

evolved what seemed a feasible plan for
putting the sanatorium on its feet. They

ticeship, but if Jacob could serve seven
years and again seven for Rachel. he
should be able to serve for two.
The old man had no particular objec-
ton to him save that he had inherited
his money This being the case the
stipulation that he should not even
write Marjorie lest he work upon her
sympathies, seemed particularly hard,
but Dufford was a hard man. apd if
Marsden wanted Marjorie for his wife,
he could only bow to the dictum.
1t was four days before he landed, in
the little Colorado town which was the
nearest railroad point to the mine, and
the next morning six hour ride
brought him to the desolate collection
of buildings grouped around the shaft
of the mine, which night and day
ground out more wealth for the COM
pany of which Dufford was the head.
The superintendent was easily found
and he glanced over the letter Marsden
presented.
''All right" he said CURLY. Had
any experience fring?"
"Guns or steam engines?' said Mars
den.
''You know very well. was the sharp
response. "Can you fire an engine?"
ST CAM was the quiet answer,
though I have had no experience at
the work. It's merely a matter of
shoveling coal, isn't it?'
''Shoveling the coal right" corrected
the superintendent. Better take your
things over to the bunk house, then go
to the engineer and tell him that you're
Jim and that Casey is to show you how
to fire. What is it, Peters?'
He turned to attend to another man
who had entered, and feeling himself
dismissed Jim turned away.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
bunk house was the long, low shed
where the men slept and ate. The
Chinaman in charge of the place
showed him where to put his trunk at
the side of a narrow cot, and present
~, clad in a suit of Overalls, Jim
strolled into the engine room and pre-
sented himself to the engineer.
II am Jim,' he said simply. Mr..
Travers said that Casey was to show
me how to fire.
The engineer nodded over his shout
der
fTell Casey" he said and went on
with his oiling.
Casey was more companionable. He
deity elected information as to Jim's
place of hailing and other facts as he
made it apparent that Mr.. Travers was
right when he said that it was not
merely question of shoveling coal.

Fishes In Captivity.

Fishes in aquariums when first
placed in captivity are likely to be
wild and to seek constantly to escape.
Sooner or later they quiet down, and
often they become very tame. They
feed we'll and grow and seem quite
settled and content in their new home.
But it may be that some fish, after a
year of this quiet, routine life, are sud
denly seized again with desire to es-
cape and go wild in their efforts, roam
ing the tank necessarily and finally
killing themselves by running blindly
or recklessly into wall. Fishes are
sometimes greatly disturbed by para
sites. But fishes that are perfectly
sound take on sometimes in this man
ner, and their actions seem attribute
BILE only to the awakening of an in
tense desire to be free again.

The Sitters La Stations.

"I wonder what all these people do
that sit in the various railroad wait
ing rooms" said the observant man.
''You see them in the Grand Central
station, in the waiting rooms at Jer-
sey City and Hoboken, sitting down
and apparently waiting without end.
You see the same types, not only in
New York, but in any of the railroad
waiting rooms of the big cities. They
don't seem to have anything to do; a
large part Of them are not even enter
tanning themselves by reading. They
appear to be watching nothing in par
ticular. and yet there they sit and
wait. They don't seem to be interested
in the movements of the trains, for
they never look up when the 'bawler'
comes through. They don't seem to be
waiting for anybody, as they show
little interest in the crowds that stream
through after the arrival of every
train
.sThere is the mother with the usual
assortment of babies, one of them al
ways squalling and the rest of them
running around with faces sticky with
candy; the thin, ancient dame with an
umbrella and a reticule, the elderly
gentleman with the black bag, the
young lady with the paper backed
novel and the young man with the
celluloid collar and the red made up
necktie. Look any waiting room crowd
over, and you always will find these
types, and they always are waiting -

| brought from the railroad by a horse
car system, the cars going down load

coal when it was needed. Every shov-
elful had to be thrown just where it
was needed to feed the fire evenly, and
| Jim's arms ached as he strove to learn
| the proper twist of the shovel to land
the coal in the desired spot.
| 1t was two weeks before he could be
| trusted on q trick alone, but at last
| Casey pronounced himself satisfied
with Jims ability, and he reigned over

| trical engines was sent him instead Of
the one for which he wrote. He sat
| down to look it over before he sent it
| back, and to the original book he add
| ed others.
He had been there little more than a
year when he sought out Travers and
laid plan before him. Less than half
mile UP the valley constant fall
broke over the high cliff and rolled in
to the valley, 400 feet below. 1t was
Jim's plan to use water power instead
Of steam and employ a trolley on the
| tramway.
Travers smiled at first, but Jim
worked out the plan for him, and the
New York Office approved. Jim was
put in charge of the plant, and the
| company raised Travers' salary
| 1t was well toward the close of the
second year that Dufford came to visit
| the mine No one knew of his inten-
| ton until word was telegraphed from
| the station. The word was flashed
| about the camp that the old man had
come but the first hint that ladies ac-
| companied him came to Jim as he
| stood in the door of the power house.
! The road led past the door, and as he
, stood listening to the rhythmic pur of
the dynamo the familiar sound was
broken by the quick beat of horses
| hoofs on the hard road, and around
the curve swung maddened broncho
with woman swaying in the saddle.
Marsden sprang into the roadway
and in one tense moment fought the
insane brute with desperate energy as
he was dragged along. Then the fight
was won, and he sprang to the saddle
just as Marjorie slipped, fainting, from
the seat
Il came because l wanted to see for
myself" she explained an hour later
as they sat on the porch of the super
intendent's cottage. Il could not be-
lieve that you had been content for
two years as fireman. OF course, Mr..
Travers wanted the credit of introduce
ing the biggest money saving device
in the plant, and he did not remember
that father was particularly interest
ed in you. Father ought to have been
more explicit
But it's been a good thing for you,"
declared Mr.. Dufford as he stepped
through the doorway. you've shown
/ the stuff that's in you, and it's mighty
good stuff-ft material for a son-in-
law. I'm going on to the rest of my
holdings in New Mexico as long as I'm

in charge of my mining interests when
we get back to New York, you'd bet

ness trip"

Boon to Cotton Planters.

One Of the most Important devices IN
the history Of cotton culture practical
ly. has been perfected by experts Of
tile department Of agriculture It is a
machine for the removal Of the fuzz
OH cottonseed and for the separation
OF light and heavy seed.
The process has been in course of de
v,elopment for about two years, and It
III the opinion Of the cotton experts Of
the department that Its universal use
would effect saving Of about 10 per
cent of the entire cotton crop. As the
crop of America amounts to about
1850 100000 q year, 1t easily can be
realized that, such q saving would be
of vast Importance.
BY the removal Of the fuzz from the
,,ottonseed the seed may be planted
with an ordinary gravity drill. By the
ease with which the smooth seed can
be manipulated they can be planted IN
bills without unnecessary waste, and
the plants SO located can be titled in
two directions.
The machine. 1t is said, can be made
at very small expense. and as the in
vention Is in the hands of the govern
ment cotton planters who use 1t will
have to pay no royalty for it.

the young men, who believe that their
example will be followed by many

Their court sessions promise to be
very interesting. Any member Of the

Ing tide of things accomplished. This
was her hour, and the recognition of it
brought the blood to her face in sud
den happy rush. There had been no
need to precipitate it's coming; it had
been ordained from the first.
Whether she desired 1t or no, whether
she strove to draw 1t nearer or strove
to ward it of, its coming had been in
evitable. She opened her eyes sudden
ly and looked out into the darkness, the
darkness throbbing with multitudes of
lives all waiting. all desiring fulfill

longer aloof. She was kin with all this

mainly. Again tears Of pride and hap
piness filed her eyes. Then suddenly
the thing she had waited for came to
pass.
Loder leaned close to her. She was
conscious Of his nearer presence, Of his
strong. masterful personality. With a
thrill that caught her breath she felt
his arm about her shoulder and heard
the sound Of his voice.
Eve" he said, Il love you. Do you
understand? love you" and. drawing
her close to him, he bent and kissed
her.
With Loder, to do was to do fully.
When he gave, he gave generously;
when he swept aside a barrier, he left
no stone standing He had been slow
to recognize his capacities, slower still
to recognize his feelings. But now that
the knowledge came he received 1t
openly. In this matter OF newly COM
pretended love he gave no thought to
either past or future. That they loved
and were alone was all he knew or
questioned. She was as much Eve
the one woman-as though they were
together in the primeval garden, and in
that spirit he claimed her.
He neither spoke nor behaved ex-
travagantly in that great moment OF
comprehension. BE acted quietly, with
the completeness Of purpose that he
gave to everything. He. had found a
new capacity within himself, and he
was StfOHg enough W uteou III Wo"N

Holding her close to him, he repeated
his declaration again and again, as
though repetition ratified it. He found
no need to question her feeling for him

waiting on the little island-at one
man who leaned against the lamp post
in an attitude of apathy-a man with
a pallid, unshaven face and lusterless
eyes, who wore cap drawn low over
his forehead.
He looked at this man, and the man
saw and returned his glance. For a
space that seemed interminable they
held each others eyes; then very slow
ly Loder drew back into the carriage.
AS he dropped into his seat Eve
glanced at him anxiously.
"John," she said, has anything hap

He turned to her and tried to smile.

his voice had suddenly become fat.
