DON'T APPLY HERE

An account published in one of the
Indianapolis papers in which it states
that the Pennsylvania officials will in
spect the repair shops along the line
with the idea In view OF installing
more and modern machinery and also
enlarging the capacity of the shops,
does not apply here according to the
belief OF Superintendent Nettleton
Neff Of the Richmond division At
least he has heard nothing OF such an
order and is inclined to believe that
there is little truth in it.

 "Oh! Isn't MT. Jeffrey here?" he asked, tightening his hold on the note. Mother told me not to give this to anyone but MT. Jeffrey"
 But I'm Mrs Jeffrey. dear. It's just the same if you give 1t to me-"
 This was perfectly true when she said 1t. Two minutes later there was no truth in 1t.
 Mrs, Jeffrey. standing behind the high desk, opened the note and read, instead of an order for groceries. this message:
 Dear: I'm afraid should not ask you to come again after your being here yesterday, but could you? I shall be alone all the morning. "A word to the wise Don't come this afternoon. I'll explain why later DOLLY"
 Mrs. Jeffrey's unbelieving eyes went back to the top of the page and read the words again. The foundations of her world were slipping.
 Suddenly she remembered one thing clearly. It was her husbands voice saying, Must be mighty lonesome for Al MacLean's little widow, up there in the old place. She was saying when she was in the store yesterday that she hardly knows soul In town yet. She just came out here to the suburbs be- cause she wanted to be near her aunt,

The worId,. Greatest Cave.

Every one has heard of the Man. moth Cave of Kentucky, but few prob ably are aware that its discovery was due to the search for suitable earth for the manufacture of saltpetre. The anxiety to find saltpetre earth was due to the Embargo bill passed by Congress In 1907, which forbade Amer lean vessels to sail for Europe and for. eign vessels to land cargoes in Ameri- ca.
 The Americans needed gunpowder, and to make It they required saltpetre. They had geen getting it from Spain and Italy, but the Embargo bill stop ped that, and there was no American supply of the substance A rowing chemist, named Samuel Brown, had shown how saltpetre, or potassium nit rate, could be obtained from cave earth, And so the quest for caves was begun and asslduously continued.
 When the Mammoth Cave was found, every part of the great cavern was searched for cave earth. From pit, byways, and avenues slaves car ried out the heavy loads of petre earth. Many thousands of tons were treated, and the rude chemistry of the day produced something like a hun dred thousand pounds of saltpetrs within two years.

 That had been three months ago. Mrs. Jeffrey had meant to call but oth- CT things had interfered Tom had spoken of her going several times. but not lately. A bright spot had begun to burn in each of her cheeks as she read the note once more. She had never dreamed, when hearing about mems growing tired of their wives
 She snatched sheet of paper and dashed off these words:

husband, Mrs. Jeffrey told the boy In the rear room that he would have to come and stay in the store until Mir Jeffrey returned. Then she walked swiftly down the street to her home, the mossgreen house at the foot of the hill. There. upon her own porch, she found herself face to face with Mrs. MacLean,
 Oh. here you are!" said the little widow. Please forgive my unconven. tionality in coming this way, Mrs. Jef. frey. but your husband said you really wanted to call on me- and I'm so lone some that I've just acted on impulse and run down to ask you If you wouldn't come and have a cup of tea with me this afternoon?"
 She cast an appealing smile up to Mrs. Jeffrey-and fell back.
 How dare you," said Mrs. Jeffrey, compressing into three words volume of scorn.
 AS she spoke Jeffrey came rapidly up the walk.
 What in the name" he began. T beg your pardon" as his astonished eyes took in the little widow.
 How dare you?" Mrs. Jeffrey re- peated. with rising excitement, as she snatched' the wretched note from her husbands hand and held 1t out to Mrs. MQnT HA ffor uyritino ohov l that-how dare you come to my home?"
 Mrs. MacLean. shocked and white, was leaning against a pillar for SUD- port. Then her eyes fell on the note and the color flooded back to her face.
 That was for my Aunt Margaret" she cried. Did Gordon leave 1t at the store? And you thought-Oh!"
 She dropped on the porch settee and buried her face In her hands.
 Jeffrey shifted his feet and cleared his throat.
 Mrs. Jeffrey stood rooted to the floor, unable to keep pace with the develop ments.
 The little widow sobbed and sobbed At last, however she lifted her face and looked at Mrs. Jeffrey. II under stand it now" she said, land the strangest part Is that it all happened because I wanted you for my friend. From the first minute I saw you in church I wanted to know you, but it was the beautiful way your husband spoke about you the other day that made me dare, this morning, when was so lonely, to ask" Her voice broke.
 Mrs. Jeffrey, with lump in her throat, took one step and sat down on the porch settee.
 "Tom," she said, as she put both arms around the little widow. "go back to the store"

All in Half an Hour

""Half-past eight. Gordon" said Mrs. MacLean, land I want you to leave two notes on your way to kindergar- ten. This in your right hand Is for Aunt Margaret and the one in your left hand is for the grocer. Don't give the left-hand note to anyone but MT. Jeffrey himself-that boy of his Is so careless!"
 Gordon's chubby fingers closed over the notes. His mother, standing on the doorway to watch the little coat and cap out of sight, felt her eyes suddenly blurred.
 "So like his dead father," she mur- mured, as she turned back into the empty home.
 A few minutes later she glanced from a window toward the moss-green house at the foot of the hill and said to herself, q believe I'll go and call.'
 Over at Aunt Margaret Cranes vi- sion of red cheeks and brown eyes flashed In and out of the dining room, leaving a note on the table. The wind had given Gordon a chase for his cap on the way there and at one stage in the skirmish both notes had found themselves clutched in one hand, but Gordon knew perfectly we'll that the right-hand note had been on top all the time.
 Whats this?" said Aunt Margaret, picking up the note. Already Gordon was trotting down the road. Please send immediately one dozen eggs, one bottle vanilla. one pound This was meant for the grocer. I'll telephone 1t down to Jeffrey's for her."
