THE MAN SHE LOVED |
By EFFE ADELAIDE ROWLANDS.

Dorothy had sent her husband
away.
Her heart was throbbing wildly,
but the pain was not neuralgia or any
other bodily ailment; the throbbing
came from the mind-an excited,
overheated, madly wrathful mind.
Laxon's letter had been intended to
alarm her so terribly that she would
be forced into granting him all he
asked, from the shock and surprise as
well as fear.
Laxon had fixed the woods for their
meeting, and she had to make her
plans carefully. 1t was a great risk
How was she to get there and back
without being discovered?
She left the study by the long
French window. The night was dark,
and she was sooa on the lawn in front
of the house; from thither she got
noiselessly across to the paths she
had to take.
ANY woman might well have been
nervous and timid OF that dark, weird
walk; but Dorothy had no fear. She

left, but walked on Quickly-so
quickly that her heart beat to suffo-
cation and sharp pain came in her
side.
She passed the tennis court, on and
on, till she came to the rose garden
now dead and withered wilderness
and turned her face down to the
woods.
A little way from the gates she
stopped.
@Hist!" she breathed, rather than
spoke.
A footstep answered her, and the
voice she loathed came to her ears.
@All right, Dolly: I'm here. All!
thought you'd bring an answer to my
motel"

Retreat? Neverl

In an Irish garrison town a theat-
rical company was giving performs
ances, and some soldiers from the
local barracks were engaged to act as
supers. Their duties included the
waging of fierce fight in which, af-
ter stirring struggle, one army was
defeated on given signal from the
prompter. For a few nights all went
well, but on the Friday evening a
special performance of the piece was
to be given under the patronage Of
the Colonel and other officers of the
usual at the end Of the second act,
when they oughtand fought and kept
on fighting, regardless of the agon-
lied glare in the eye of their (actor)
general, who hoarsely ordered the
proper army to Retreat, confound
you'll" But the fight still went on,
and soon the Mortified manager saw
the wrong army being driven slowly
off the stage, still fighting desperate
1y. Down came the curtain amid
roars of laughter, and the Tuning
manager fastened to ask the aelin-
squents why they had failed to retreat
on hearing the signal.
"Retraite, . roared a burly fusilier,
whose visage had been badly bat
tered, and is 1T retraite ye,d have us,
wild the colonel and all the officers in
the boxes? ''-Tit- Bits.

Mr.. 0. F. Cook, of the Department
OF Agriculture, reports that cotton of
2 primitive type, collected by Pro.
fossor N. L. Britton and Mr.. William
Harris in coastal thickets in the ex-
IRENE southern part of Jamaica,
seems to be undoubtedly wild plant.
1t resembles type of cotton which
grows wild on the Florida Keys. The
interest of the discovery lies largely
in the suggestion of Prof Britton
that this cotton may prove very val
liable for breeding purposes, since it
furnishes new point Of departure.
The existence of wild cotton in ia
maica has been affirmed before, but
the evidence hitherto has not boon
convincing. Youths Companion.

Geometrical Problems.

It may interest readers to know
that the problem Of the square and
triangle can be solved very easily if
the required number of pieces is five,
instead of four. Those who do not
know that solution may like to try
for it. 4
Here is something that is going to
make trouble, sure as fate. The
thing is not SO much to find the an
swer as to prove it.
Electricians are usually pretty lib
eral with their wire, but just to edu-

There is an eminent New York
Yorker, born in western village,
who never meets any one from the
village without inquiring solicitously
about its most disreputable inhabi-
tant, the village drunkard and ne'er-
do-well. who was yet a companion in
arms during the Civil War. His lik-
ink for that man really honors him,
thinks the New York Mail. To

who would have seemed out of place

ing room If the silver was unlocked

loyable types.

clever Boy.

AS it happened, the boss was talk
ing to customer when boy came
in. Thinking he wanted to buy
something, he excused himself, and
going over to the boy asked him
what he could do for him. The boy
told him that he came in answer to
his advertisement and asked for the
job
Well, of course, the boss got mad
by being disturbed while he was talk
ing to customer. He said to the
boy "You go outside and walk a
block. If call you back. why, I
will hire you; If / don't, why, you
just keep right on walking"
The boy did as he's was told, but
going out, he picked up a shovel that
was standing near the door, put it
on his back and started down the
street.
Before he had gone ten feet away
the old man was after him, yelling:
Come backl Come back!"
The boy came back, took off his
coat, asked where he wanted him to
work downstairs or upstairs, or
where.
The man took one good look at
him and said: II guess I'll hire you.
Never mind putting your coat on.
Start right in. Judge.

So many men have invented flying
machines lately that one cannot help
wondering why some of them did not
make their inventions good while
ago. Nearly every day, notes the
Philadelphia Record, some new man
appears with a machine on which he
flies five to eight minutes, at the end
of which time something goes wrong
with his machine. If the inventors
shall be as simultaneous in perfect
ing their inventions as they are in
bringing them out we shall have as
many sorts of airships as we now
have of automobiles.

the writing table can be folded in

If the railroads running to the
east had as much enterprise as those
running to the west, there would be
a drift of farmers from the high
priced lands of the west eastward
which would go far to equalize the
value of lands of similar quality east
and west, declares the Country Gen
tleman There are lands in some of
the better portions of New York and
the New England States correspond
ing in value to the farms in the west
and with better improvements, that
sell for little more than half the
money

Mrs. Blanche H. Mason, a Wash
ington State factory inspector, re-
ports that while the child-labor law
is disregarded in some instances, the
fact is not due so much to willful in
tent as to ignorance of the law.
This, of course, urges the Hartford
Courant, is an excuse that need not
be considered beyond the time re-
quired for the inspectors to get
around to the factories. In Seattle
Mrs. Mason finds marked dispo-
sition on the part of most employers
to consider the interests of the
workers.

Continued.

The gallant officer was by no means
fond of talking, and Enid certainly
gave him no encouragement to con-
tinue the exercise, for she looked
colder than usual, and only replied to
his polite speeches by monysyllables.
Nevertheless, the young man was
nothing daunted. His conceit was
piqued by this girls determined re-
sistance to his offer Of friendship, and
he admired her more than any speci-
men of her sex he had ever met.
Enid, finding she could not get rid
of him or his compliments, relapsed
into proud silence. Finally, he stood
still and faced her, putting hand on
her arm.

A wire had been tapped at A, one
foot from the floor, and exactly in
the middle of that side of the room
seven feet from each wall It was
necessary to carry wire from there
to the point B, which was exactly in
the middle of the opposite wall,
seven feet from each side, but two
feet from the ceiling.
This wire might be run along the
floor, the walls or the ceiling What
was the shortest cut the wire could
take from A to B, and how do you
prove it? In your answer, If you
cannot draw, call the possible loca-
lions for the wire; the floor, the side
wall, the A wall, the B wall and the
ceiling. The wire must pass over
some of those five.-New York Sun.

Separate schools for tubercular chill
dren may be established in Philadel-
phia in the near future, declares the
Medical Journal. The new school
code specifically prescribes that chill
dren suffering from tuberculosis can
not be admitted into the public
schools and at the same time pro-
vides for the compulsory attendance
of all children between the ages of
six and sixteen years. 1t is the opin-
ion of the educational officials that
the only solution Of the problem is to
set aside special schools for the use
of the tubercular pupils.
