(Original.)

Prindle, our line repairer, was rath
 : slender, but with highly developed
 uscles in fingers, arms and shoul-
 CTS, and with nerve to face anything.
 verdi years of labor with the pliers Lad given him a fnger-grip which used his chums to avoid shaking hands with him. He could make an iLsulator tie with a No. 6 iron wire with Q aren't ease. This remarkable pow CT of concentration in the finger mus cies once saved hin from probable death.
 In 1893 a focal company in Layton had installed a telephone exchange. Several of their wires paralleled the telegraph wires along the tracks, and also those of the lighting and power company in the streets The result was a bad case of induction, that mys- teriOus transference of electrical i'm pulse between wires when there is no direct connection.
 So great was the influence of the l. legTaph and power wires on the wires of the telephone company that the rattle and clicking of our instru- ments could be distinctly heard in the ele phone receivers. and the singing slarl of the dynamos at the bower house annoyed every one trying to use the phone
 The manager angrily declared that some enemy of his company had thrown thread-like copper wires across from wire to wire, thus tangling up the currents.
 Prindl went over the wires care fully twice and reported that he could find no cross of that sort. Still he kept his eye upon he wires, mainly because the telephone managers daughter was his very best friend.
 Emerging from the managers house one night near the hour of 12, he mo- ticed a dark figure stealing down a side street. Touched with suspicion, Prindle followed after the skulking

Last night, or rather this morning about 1:30,'' said man in an Olive line car, throwing his arm over the back of the seat and speaking straight into his friends ear, T came in on the Clayton road in my new Burns-60. I've had the car a month, but I hadn't be fore had chance to try it out.
 The road was clear; it was bright night, and just cut loose. The speedometer indicated 69 miles ar hour for a little over mile. I give you my word of honor that's what i said. Say, it was fearful and exhilaraf ing. Going some? Well, I guess.

and pinioned his right hand. In thar awful moment he felt the cords of his arms and fingers contract until they burned like hot wires. With a cry of agony the robber jerked him back to the roof, then whirled and ran across the roof, drawing his knife as he fled. Prindle saw the moonlight glint on the knife blade, and, though infuriated with the passion of battle, he recoiled. The burglar turned in the angle of the wall, striving to regain breath be- fore the next onset
 An electric power wire stretched across the roof some eight or nine feet above the floor. Prindle drew a pair of rubber-faced gloves from his pocket. pulled them on, and suddenly leaped up and caught the wire As he de scended the wire snapped and fell to the roof. Instantly he caught up the two ends of it and sprang at the rob Der, who met him with uplifted knife
 The cracksman seemed to divine the terrible nature of the tiny weapons in the lineman's hands, for his face blanched white. In the moonlight Prindle looked equally pale If he could touch the robbers flesh with the bare ends of the wires he would win; if not, he would probably die by the others knife.
 It was a strange duel. They feint- ed several tines, then struck togeth- CT. The clothing was sheared away from Prindle's arm, but the bur iar fell in a knotted, Guivering heap. The point of one of the live wires had gone up his sleeve, the other had punctured his neck
 When the burglar recovered h-s senses Prindle had him securely lied with detached pieces of the wire and was at the front parapet of the roof. looking uy and down the street for an officer.
 The bank people gave Prindle a handsome reward When me. allie cir cults had been run by the .e,erhone company. On his suggestion. and hey found the troublesome electrical in ductiOn overcome, Manager Towna de clared the plucky lineman worthy to he any mans son-in- aw, and he was.

DESTROY TIE POTATO BUGS.
Little Pests of the Garden.

For the family potato patch the quickest way is to hand pick the old bugs The bugs may be easily caught when torpid early in the morning. One bug, it is said, will lay several hun dred eggs. By gathering the bugs there will be few worms. When tue young worms are found in the heart of the potato vines the best method is to dust with paris green and plaster. One tablespoonful of pure paris green mixed in one peck of dry plaster will be enough to dust one-quarter of an acre of potatoes. When the wornls are in the small foliage surrounding the blossoms and when the worms are half grown and are spread over the leaves twice this quantity must be used. Two dustings will be neces- sary to kill the first and second broods. Buy the best quality of paris green. Old green or green that has been exposed to the air is nearly worthless for killing worms. Use plenty of dry powdered plaster. The plaster is excellent to increase the growth of the vines. The best time to apply the mixture Is early in the morning when the leaves are damr from dew.

DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Foreign Built Yachts Must
Settle Customs Tax Sept. |.

name, value and tonnage of all sucn
vessels by customs districts. Collector
LYMAN has been asked to submit q
list of all such vessels in his district.
With this information in hand the
treasury will have each yacht apprais-
ed, ard it is anticipated that numerous
controversies will arise over this. The
new law does not make any provision
for appeal on the part of yacht own
ers, who feel that they have legitimate
ground for protest. Although this tax
is not strictly a customs matter, the
department has decided to permit APP
peals to be taken to the board of gen
eral appraisers in New York.
Practically the entire tax on foreign
built yachts will be contributed to the
nations strong boxes from New Eng
land and New York. The department.
has figures indicating that there are
only about 100 yachts that will be
taxed. owned almost exclusively on the
Atlantic coast from Boston to New
York City.
The yachts vary from IA to 1000 tons,
and the largest, which will have to pay
the greatest duties, are the Lysistrata,
owned by James Gordon Bennett; the
Iolanda, owned by Morton F. Plant,
and Mrs. Robert Goelet's Mamma. 1t
is estimated that a total of about $500,
600 revenue will be collected from this
tax.
\ paragraph of the law exempts
from the tax foreign-built yachts that
have been admitted to American Reg
istry. There was apprehension in the
treasury department when this clause
was scanned and the commissioner of
navigation was asked for an opinion.
He quoted the law on registry and stat
ed that it requires an act of Congress
to admit to American registry for
eign-built vessel. SO it is not likely that
there will be any evasion of the tax by
change of registry, as Congress moves
very slowly in granting American reg
istry to foreign built vessels
