Where Are the Old PeopIea

1t is proper to speak of a man under
thirty as 'old man" in jocular way.
but after that it becomes dangerous.
AS for old ladies, they have long ago
disappeared. Thirty years ago it was
common in society and in print to
speak of an old man or an old lady
without meaning any disrespect or CIV
ing the least offense. Now it is posi-
lively dangerous-in fact, isn't done.
Why this change?
Partly because the physical and
mental condition of the average person
is better than formerly, but principally
because people have decided not to
grow old That settles it. We are
largely taken at our own valuation and
are not now disposed to make 1t low
one In this city are to be found many
men who retired from business a gen
Grafton ago. 1t was once the custom
In this country, as It Is now in Eng
land, that when a man had secured a
competence he retired from active work
and lived serenely. Nowadays it Is sell
dom done. A competence now means
not an income of a few thousand dol
lars, but an unlimited amount. There
are to be found multimillionaires
above eighty who are just as anxious
to make money as ever, and they seem
to be quite as competent.-Ph Philadelphia

I KNEW YOU WOULD COME, DEAREST
yid felt as he worked in the orchard
strangely torn between doubts and
hopes.
A vision would come of a cozy
hearth, with the dream woman sitting
where the light fell on face and hair.
Then it would fade, and he would see
| himself, old, lonely and disillusioned
by time, the wreck of a foolish hope.
1t was after shutdown when he came
to the house. AS he entered the yard
he saw girl sitting on the edge of
the porch looking across the hills to
the south.
She did not turn, and as he stood
still watching her his pulse grew
strong and rhythmical until every
nerve in him sang.
This was the dream woman.

She did not start at the sound of his
voice, but looked up and smiled. eyes,

porch near her. 81 am visiting my

the valleys laden with the incense of
the wild plum and the wild grape.

She arose to go. He went with her
to where the road turned down the hill.
You will come again?" he said.
YES" she said. Il would like to-"
II will show you the place." he prom
ised.
Two days later she came again. They
went through the orchard and garden
and then to the edge of the hill where
it falls away almost perpendicularly.
They sat on a fiat rock and watched
the sun go down.

They talked of trees and vines, the
hills and the seasons. of books and

whatever she had felt or dreamed he
had, too, understood,
Often she turned her wide open,
frank eyes upon him in wonder at
the keenness and power of his
thoughts, his seemingly rnbounded
knowledge.

you are not out in the world"

AT the End
OF the Wait.
By WILLIAM II. HANDY.
Copyrighted, 1907, BY NJ. NJ. Cunningham

A deep feeling of content and salts
action possessed David as he looked
across the hills and valleys to the
south.
YES" he said within himself, "she
will like this when she comes"
He bought the plateau on top of the
hill. scarcely more than forty acres in
MI, and nire1lmen to clear it,
He took an ak and went with them
into the timber, for, although David
was dreamer, he could work with his
hands even while the visions were up
on him.
Before autumn came the ground was
cleared, and then fruit trees and ber-
ries were set out. The house which
David built was planned carefully that
1t might be a rest to the body and
pleasure to the taste A half dozen
oaks had been left growing in the yard,
and hedge of roses was planted all
the way around it, Walks were laid
and flowers planted beside them.
David had some money-not much,
but enough. Still he chose to work
every day among the trees or In the
garden. Every evening he sat on the
porch and dreamed ana waited.
When the orchard was bearing and
TIE rough places had been made
smooth David's lodge on the hill was
the admiration of the community.
Visitors were brought to see it, and
tourists, who sometimes came to the
Ozarks, went out of their way to see
the hill that blossomed as a garden.
David still worked and dreamed and
waited. Sometimes at evening as he
sat alone upon the porch and looked
out over the silent places-the hills and
the valleys-a sense of loneliness came
over him.
Suppose she should never come?
Even the shadow Of doubt made him
grow sick at heart But she would
surely she would. Somewhere was the
girl of whom he dreamed, the one that
loved the things he loved and thought
the thoughts that came to him.
Some time she would grow tired and
turn aside to the hills. Then she would
find the fairest one of them all, and
when she climbed to its top the home
would be ready, and he would be there
waiting

real country. 1t lies just across the
road. We can sit over there with the
real rustics and imagine that we are
enviously looking on and listening to
the music"
Nella fell In with the suggestion, and
laughingly they stole across the road
to where little knot of the real farm
ers had gathered to watch the fun.
Ted found seat for her on a smooth
stone and took his place by her side.
''Ir's funny" he said, "that we on
the other side or the fence want to
come over here, while those over here
wish that they could be over there.
It's human nature, l suppose, to want
what we know nothing off,
II have been on both Sides" she re-
minded, land like this side best. So
ciety is all right for those who know
nothing else, but am awfuily tired OF
it, Ted 1t is all so artificial and Sc
unhuman"
"Inhuman, too, for that matter"
cbuckled Ted. Il say, Nell how would
you like to chuck it all? I'm sick Of it
too. This is real farm in spite of its
society trimmings. I'll cut out some of
the trimmings, and We'll make it real.
Then We can live on both sides of the
fence, content on either side with tie
knowledge that we have the key to the
gate"

that I'd never have seen but for your

She looked at him with an intent
ness that was rather disconcerting.
Tell me-" she said. why should
you, knowing all these things as you
do, care to travel with us?"
Lancaster regarded her for time In
thoughtful silence. Dare he tell her
the truth? He looked into her clear
gray eyes and decided to risk 1t.
Shall tell you the real reason?" he
asked.
"Why, yes, of course" she replied,
with little note of surprise In her
voice
"Well. then" said Lancaster sturdi-
", 'it was because of YOU

of it. And that night at Cologne He
paused,

prompted.

to, her temples, He noticed that her
hands were trembling and that her
breath had quickened.

Very deliberately her eyes were lift

depths an answer that set his pulses
bounding.

gay laugh.

his hand closed over hers.
