THE SAVING OF
 NED PARKER.

Copyright. 1909. by American Press Asso-
 ciation.l
 Timothy Burke and Edward Parker were partners in hole in the ground in Colorado. Burke was an oldish man, and Parker was thirty-ive. Burke lived with his family in a cabin near where his interest lay, and Par ker lived in a cabin by himself. Ellen Burke kept the cabin for her father, he being widower. She was comedy, but the Burkes were not refined fam fly, and despite her olive complexion and red cheeks she was not good to look upon She had a lustrous black eye, which puzzled most people who gazed into 1t to know whether she was friend or enemy. She would nev- CT be either in a half hearted way.
 Ned Parker was young man who had come out from the east with means to engage in mining. Burke had met him and persuaded him to grub stake him while he made some diggings in a region where he sus- pected there was gold. Burke was under contract to give Parker a half interest in any paying mine he might strike
 While Burke was working with his pick and shovel Parker was paying more attention to Ellen than was good for either of the two young people, considering the difference in their sta tions. There was something wild about the girl that fascinated Parker, and at the same time he felt that if he won and tilted her she would prove a dangerous person to cast off. Not that he had any intention of doing anything of the kind. He was simply permitting himself 10 drift to the edge of cataract
 The day came when he felt that it was time to break with her. He told her that he had done very wrong to be with her as much as he had, for there were insurmountable objections to a match between them. If she thought best he would go away, She listened to him calmly and admitted the truth of what he said. but denied that there was any necessity for him to go away They were sitting on a bench outside the cabin at the time, board with four sticks for legs. and he bent for ward to get beyond her unkempt locks falling over her temples to see into her eyes. He got a view of them, and, though what he saw he couldn't make out, 1t didn't please him.
 While Parker was sliding into dan rerous situation Burke was striking

They failed not only to catch the jubilee note that spurs to holy endeavor the Christian heart but they missed the stir ring speeches, the rOusing songs and the delightful social hour in which our hostess, assisted by Misses Waller and Lewis served thevery choicest refreshmenst.

 farther he went down. He regretted that for paltry grub stake he should have to divide with any one else. His mind was so intent on his find that he failed to notice what was between Parker and his daughter. The evil one, who is constantly lurking about gold, finally secured hold on the old miner, and he began to wish his part ner out of the way, The wish intensi- fled until he began to think of ways by which Parker could happen to elim- mate himself.
 Parker was used after supper to go over for chat with his partner. At least that was what he tried to make himself believe was his intention. though 1t was really to be under the spell of Ellen's strange eyes. One evening, as usual, he went over and was chatting with the old man on the very bench where he had told Ellen there could never be anything between him and her. She was moving in and out. putting things to rights, and Par ker saw that there was something away down in her heart he couldn't fathom. Presently he felt desire to smoke and, going on. took up several pipes that lay on rude shelf, looking them over successively. One, he no- ticed. was filled with tobacco.
 Don't smoke that 'un." said Ellen, Eve filled it for myself"
 "You smoker exclaimed Parker, astonished Il never saw you do that"
 She took it out of his hand. and he filled another When he had lighted it he went outside. Ellen followed with the pipe he had first taken up and lighted match. She put the stem in her mouth and was about to touch the flame to it when her father white as a cloth. dashed toward her and. seiZing the pipe, threw 1t far away. There was a terrific explosion that would have blown the girl to atoms.
 Parker stood looking at the other two in astonishment.
 Why didn't you let me alone, dad?'
 The words came from the girl, a wall of despair
 What does all this meanT" asked Parker.
 By this time Burke had sufficiently recovered himself to say, though he was trembling like leaf:
 "Somethin must "a got into the pipe by mistake. l don't like keepin' this blastin' material about the cabin, and l won't do it no more."
 Gradually false explanation began to creep over Parker He attributed the filling of the pipe with an explo- sive to Ellen, thinking she had in- tended to end her life and blight his. Her father had filled the pipe, intend ing that Parker should smoke it. FL len had seen him do it and suspected his design. It was as much this as her thwarted love for Parker that had led her under an impulse to an in- tended suicide.
 "I've somethin' to tell you," pursued Burke, conscience stricken. i've struck payin' dirt took some out last week that assays $500 to the ton"
 Parker went up to Ellen, took her hand, pressed 1t and without word turned and went to his cabin. He was never seen in that region again, but sent. papers transferring his inter-

Quaker Scotch Oats

In an article published in the Youth $ Companion of Septem- Der 23rd, 1000, Dr. Browne. the great me edical authority on foods, says, about brain and muscle building
 There is one kind of food that seems to me of marked value as a food to the brain and to the whole body throughout childhood and adolescence (youth), and that Is oatmeal.
 Oats are the most nutritious of all the cereals. being richer in fats, organic phosphorus and lecithins. '
 He says oatmeal is gaining ground with the well-to-do of Great Britain. He speaks of 1t as the mainstay of the Scottish laborer's diet and says 1t pro-
