A Sensitive Soul.

Owen Nudge was very sensitive
man. More than once at harsh word
he had forsaken profitable work and
gone home for sympathy to his wife,
One morning Owen started out to help
Glenn Butler, who had bought a new
stump pulling machine and was pre-
pairing to clear a field.
Toward noon owen came back. Mrs,
Nudge sighed and waited sympathet-

Even as she knelt over the spring
wondering what it would be best to do
the sound of a bell came floating down
from the house-the signal that it was

Their whispering was so low that it
could not be heard by the men in the
shadow of the hedge. Seth, coached
by Myrtles grandmother, had APP
preached so softly that even Myrtle
had not heard him coming, and the
outlaws, ignorant of their espionage,
talked freely of their plans.
From their talk it was evident that
they We're armed. Seth was not But
there were lot of fallen branches on
the ground about them, and cautiously
he selected two stout sticks.
With catlike stealth he stole toward
the hedge where he judged the two
men to be. With a stick in either
hand he separated the shrubs until he
was able to bring his clubs down with
crushing force upon the skulls of the
two outlaws.
Before they could recover from the
shock he had sprung upon them, gain
ing possession of their guns, and while
Myrtle flew to the house for aid he
stood watch.
Ten minutes later the two men were
trussed up and were being carried to
the house, while Seth made his way up
the track to signal the approaching
train. The others of the gang had tax

and when the train was brought to a
standstill within safe distance from
the loose rail the two robbers were
piled on board to be taken into town
when repairs had been made.
Three months later there was quiet
little wedding, and Myrtle went to live
on the farm that Seth had purchased
with the reward paid for the appre-
hension of Logan. AS the last of the
guests left the house the elder Mrs.
Prentiss turned to her daughter-in-law.

In his book "Work In Great Cities
the bishop of London writes: "You
have often not only to learn, but to
practice, what may be described as the
foot and door trick. 1t is ruinatlon to
the boot and sometimes hurts the toe,
but It consists in rapidly, but quickly,
passing the foot In the moment the
door is opened in order to secure. at
any rate, few minutes parley." AS
to what may happen he writes: After
long hesitation 1t will be opened by a
little girl about half a foot, aud then
you will hear a distant voice from the
wash tub In the rear, We'll, Sally, who
is itT Then Sally win answer at the
top of her voice, Please, mother, It's

presence OF mind to cope with that"
