dashed the painting beast until
great welts stood out on her sides and
her hide was lathered with foam, while
we dashed along in the binding storm
and finally galloped through the gate
way and up the winding road toward
the house. The snow was drifting
heavily and MacArdel leaned over the
side of the sleigh and held the lantern
close to the ground SO that could see
such little traces OF the road as re-
manned or we would have been ditched
a dozen times in our mad race to the
dying girl.
Suddenly, as we neared the house,
and at a place where the drifts were
deeper and the exhausted horse strug-
gled heavily in her effort to make her
way on, man sprang out OF the sleet
and. grasping the animal by the head,
threw her backward with almost SUI
perhuman strength and brought us to
a standstill.

raising the whip high over my head.

I cried. as great lump rose in my
throat.
Yes. oh, yes!" he almost screamed.

She died some half hour ago, and he's
dying. too. tell you! Have you no

CHAPTER xxV.-continued.
You'd better not try to bring three
people back through the drifts" said
the doctor, who had just come in for
bite and a cup of coffee. You can't
drive two horses to advantage in this
weather, and If you insist upon going
why don't you take my mare and cut
ter and go alone? She's been in the
stable all day and she knows every
inch of the road, SO If you just give
her her head she'll bring you through
all right. You'd better take my storm
coat and gloves, too, for you'll find the
wind pretty cold after you've been in
1t bit"
Although l had but two miles or
Whereabouts to travel from the house
to the railway station l made an early
start and had the horse at the door
before ten o'clock. The doctor came
down to see me of and gave me few
parting words of advice.
AS opened the door II was almost
blown out of my hand by the force of
the wind and great sheets Of snow and
sleet came sailing in, under the prote-
cochere and half way down the hall.
l bundled myself up in the doctors
great fur coat and surrounded myself
with his rugs and then. bowling my
head to the fury of the gale, l did as
/ had been told, and let the mare
take her own gait and pick her own
way to the train.
The train was 40 minutes late and,
after putting my horse in the stable
and bla iketing her comfortably in &C.
cordance with the doctors instruc-
lions. / returned to the station and
paced restlessly up and down the wait
ing room, now and then peering anx-
ionsly through the frost-coated win
dows in childlike way, as If my eyes
could penetrate the blackness of the
night and see for miles down the
track.
Finally, as the time for its arrival
drew near, one OF the station men,
with that intuition SO frequently OBJ
served and so incomprehensible to the
average individual. suddenly picked
up a lantern and strobe out on the
platform. The heavy rumble of the
oncoming locomotive and the faint
squeal of its whistle struck my ears
at the same instant and. looking out, l
saw its single bleary eye cleaning
dimly in the distance as it plowed on
through the whirling sleet.
l was about to go out on the plat
form myself when the station master
called me to the telephone and the
doctor at Carney-Croft said hurriedly:
Il suppose the train is late but get
MacArdel here as soon as you can If
you want him to see her alive. 1t
won't be many hours now and it may
be-"
There was snap and buzzing
sound for an instant and knew that
the wire was down.
In another moment MacArdel was
by my side. and as soon as we could
get the lantern lighted and the mare
out Of the stable we started on our
wild drive to Carney-Croft.

of the dead, and then the old home
stead will be given over to strangers
and the tragedy Of this old farm scene
will have been complete.
What is truo of this farm is being
repeated over and over again here in
grand old Iowa. The boys and girls
are leaving the rural communities for
the towns and cities. 1t is TO be re-
gretted that this is SO. No calling on
earth offers more inducement for re-
numerative compensation or for more
independent action than does the
farm. 1t is right and proper to give
the boys and girls the apvantages of a
good education. but this ought not to
drive them into the professions, but,
instead, ought to better co uip
them for the splendid possibilities
that are available on the fertile farms
of this great state.

Germs in TELEPHONES.

Have you talked over the telephone
in the new way yet?
It's easy.
Instead of talking into the trans
mitter of the instrument. hold it to
your chest.
The sounds are said to be trans
mitted as well and the danger of
germ infection to the mouth is
avoided. As will be recalled, the
danger of the mouthpiece is the fact
that germs gather there in the dust
and dangerous and deadly diseases
may be transmitted in this manner if
the mouthpiece is not kept clean.
The fact that sounds are carried rs
well is accounted for by the fact that
sounds originate in the chest, and
travel through its walls almost as we'll
as from the throat

He is a generous cuss and is noted as
being not quite wise to the situation.
The ink man and the type man and the
paper man has elevated his prices,
gradually but firmly, for the past few
years, and lately they have added
several more per cent in order to make
it look good on he'right side of the
ledger. 1t is difficult task to con-
vince the average printer that it is

Stay on the Farm.

Frequently there may be seen on the
streets of Cedar Falls an elderly gen
tlemen who drives in from farm
home to do the weekly shopping. He
transacts his business in prompt
manner, kindly greets his numerous
friends and then drives back TO the
old farm home, where his aged COM
panion cordially greets him. The
TWO live alone at the old farm home
stead. Here they have resided since
their marriage fifty three years ago
and here they have loved and labored
all through the years. Here their
five children were born and from its
sacred precincts each started ont to
face the sterner duties that must come
TO those who assume individual re-
sponsibility. AS the children reached
the proper age they were sent away
to school and when the youngest be-
came of age all five of them had been
given an equal chance as far as edu-
cational equipment was concerned.
But in sending the children away to
school the fond parents little dreamed
just what it meant. They had pre-
sumed all the time that at least a
part of them woud return and take up
the work on the old home farm, but
in this they were disappointed One
of the boys became doctor, another
lawyer, and third civil engineer,
while one of the daughters married a
minister and the other is steno-
grapher in the office of prominent
law firm in a big city.
The failure of any of the children
to follow in the footsteps of the aged
father and take up his burdens as he
was ready to lay them down was to
the parents serious blow. The in
firmities of age warned them that
they must desist from the toll and
exposure that was imposed by the
cares of the farm and so the tilling
of the soil was turned over to stran-
gers. The old couple still occupy the
farm home with all its sacred men,
cries. Neighbors have entreated them
to move to town and spend their de-
Ginning years in leisure but they pre-
fer to stay by the old place and here
amidst the shade and shelter of the
stately trees that have stood like
silent sentinels all these years-in the
old farm house in which their chill
dren were born and reared, .where
sacred memories cling with passionate
fondness and pathetic tenderness, to
them the dearest spot in all the uni
spend the remainder of their days
Occasionally some of the children
will return for short visit, old
neighbors drop in to cheer and to sus-
tain, the kindly face of the minister
greets them in their home ever and
anon, and strangers sometimes stop to
make inquiry about the neighborhood.
Perchance lonely beggar presents
himself at the kitchen door and he is
invited to partake of bounteous meal
because no one was ever turned
empty away.
Happy and serene the old couple are
slowly watching the lengthening
shadows as they fall across their path
way and it will not be many years
until they shall have been borne by
tender hands to the sacred. silent city

 The wild man was almost naked. His beard came nearly to his waist and bis hair was matted in strings down his back. He sprang into the woods like a wild animal when he saw the negro.
 A number of white men suc- ceeded in closing in on the creature. When cornered he would only wiring his hands and and humble something about having been in the woods 720 day.
 He had an old sack and in 1t was pleoe of meat. The party believed the man to harmless and when they lct him escape he bounded off into the woods and disappeared.
