A Short Story of Rural Life

The doctor, John Norton, held the
lines listlessly as he drove down the
country road. The Smith baby was
teething-he might have to lance her
gums. Tommy Peterson, who had
personally investigated the mystery OF
the forbidden fruit in the form OF
green apples, was on the road to re-
covery a:.d new mischief. Even the
Judge no longer needed the ministra-
tons of a doctor SO much as those OF
a nurse. There were no critical cases
to scatter his thoughts that swarmed
about the anxiety of his own home.
His little mother was breaking
down.. 1t was all his, fault, accused
his morbid thoughts.
Norton's forehead puckered in a
calculating twist. Although the
drought had made money tight
among his farming clientele he could
manage to borrow a hundred or two
to send her to the "shore" for the
complete rest and change that would
alone be her salvation-but there was
his mothers indomitable will 10 be
reckoned with! Her alert knowledge
of his affairs prevented kindly decep
ton and he knew that no power on
earth could persuade her to spend a
borrowed penny on herself.
The pucker deepened-he was
searching for hidden possibilities
among his uncollected, uncollectible

bills. Then. even in that worried mo-
ment the doctor smiled. He had re-
membered Joe Riley's $500.
AS the months had piled themselves
up into years after Joes operation,
this promised bonanza had been the
pet dream-castle built by the doctor
and his mother in their twilight talks !;
the family joke Of the saner breakfast
hour. And yet only last week when
the doctor had preached the subject
to Joe anew there had seemed a
definite purpose in the lattcr's eye as
he begged NoGtol TO wait until tlc
first of the coming month. The first
of September-why, that was today!
OF course nothing would come of it,
but his despair clutched at even a
straw of hope. and Ticking Molly b.
with his whip he fastened toward the
tollgate, passing under its lifted
white arm into Centerville, one of the
little squat, onestory towns dotting
CloveTdale county, over which the
Doctors practice sprawlcd.
Old farmer White, his legs in faded
blue overalls twisted about key Of
nails, was ornamenting the platform
in front of WatsCn's as the doctors
buggy drew up.

Hello yourself, Doe"

Pete pulled the question out slowly
with rising rings of smoke from the
pipe.
Norton shook his head.

stopped, suddenly conscious of the
doctors absent-minded gaze.
The doctor sat silent, shining
light in his eyes. He was not pray
Ing man. but there had been crises in
his professional life when his heart
uplifted to the Supreme Mystery in
words OF praise unspolSen by his shy
lips. And now he felt that a power
outside himself, above. beyond him
self. had laid a divine gift in the out
stretched hand of his necessity.

10 the tragic poem of human life,
Is added another rhyme,
And | sit here in stranger town,
Widowed of all the joy
used to know at the glad New Year,
When | was little boy.
Twas only few brief years ago,
Telling the days that are dead,
But it seems to me like century
Counting the hopes that have fled
Since my heart, like the gold of Par

Was free from all alloy
Obi brighter than heaven seems now,
was earth,
When I was little boy.
I've wandered, restless as the wind,
Through many foreign land
And plucked the pleasure buds of
earth,
From Clyde to Samarcand,
But found no flowers pure from
blight,
No secret that did not cloy-
Oh! never a canker cursed bud,
When I was little boy.
I've found the wisdom that's born of
pain,
The sorrow that comes with years,
And paid the price that Adam paid
For acknowledgement for tears.
But we lost my faith in friendship s

Obi sadder than death is the bitter
change
In the trusting heart of youth
Better believe in a wholesome lie
Than forever doubt the truth.
What care I now for Arthur's fame
Or the ten years siege Of Troy?
The heroes are myths, that I used to
When I was little boy.
IT'S true that memories are mine,
Unutterably bright,
But, like the stars, they shine above
And only show tits night
And the darkness is thick with tempt
ing fends,
Turing to destroy
used to live in the light Of God,
When I was little boy.
It may be true-and I hope it is
That death will end this pain
That, on the shores of another world,
I'll be child again
And feel, with fullest faith and love,
The olden golden joy
That came of my trust in mother and
God,
When was little boy.

When Resolution Is Rejected.

ST. PETERSBURG. January 1.-The
increasing number of COMBINATIONS to
death in Russia brought about stormy
debate in the duma today NJ. Milukoff,
on behalf of the constitutional democrats,
proposed an order of the day expressing
the horror of the duma at this growing
harvest of death. which, he said, was
bunting the moral sense Of the commu-
nifty and destroying the honor and pres
tige of Russia as civilized state.
The socialists and the members of the
labor party supported the resolution.
When it was rejected the opposition left
the hall in body.
NJ Guchkoff, explaining the attitude OF
the Octoberists, declared that the action
of the constitutional democrats was a par
tisan maneuver to arouse sympathy
for the terrorists, who were about to Suf-
fer just punishment for their crimes; but
still he himself condemned the severity of
the sentences imposed upon the Yekater-

also that steps were being talen to secure
mitigation of these sentences and he
hoped they would be successful.
