THAT'S My Business" She Retorted.
In the week for you?" Mrs. Hitchcock
adjusted her spectacles to look at him
luizzically.
Il had to go over to Ed Lambs, and
1t being so close thought it would be
shame to pass by. Crops are look
Ing fine."
Pamela smiled to herself at his
feeble attempt to shift the subject.

"Why? You aren't going away, Mrs.
Hitchcock" Brown asked in alarm.
"Pamela's been" the old voice

warning glance from her daughter.
"Of course, mother, after corn husk-
Ing there will be nothing but bare
fields, but you are used to that" Pa
mela remarked.
"But there won't be even bare fields
in" she continued.
Certainly not" interrupted Pamela.
How is Ed Lambs folks? l have
been SO busy that haven't had time
to go there lately"
Fair to middling. Ed is talking of
selling his farm" Abner answered, alb
sently gazing out of the window to
where the old mill creek wound in and
out of the little valley below.
$50 are we," Mrs. Hitchcock said
without looking at her daughter. "Pa-
mela didn't want me to say nary
word about 1t until we had decided.

up her mind. But. law me-. don't

old voice trembled.

Doesn't It change you q mite?" he.
old voice trembled.
No" Pamela answered. I'm tired
OF this hlmdrum life Of ours, mother;
each day as colorless as the others. I
want to see something besides Miller's
elevator. a few sprawling houses in the
village. the town pump and Tom
Craig's general store. Just think Of 1t,
mother? We own 100 acres Of some
of the choicest prairie land in Illinois
and. you and have never even been
TO Springfield"
Il didn't know you cared about 20
Ing to such places. Do you mind what
the preacher said last Sabbath about
folks being contented with their lot?
reckon that some people from the
stuhy city would be glad to change
places with you," Mrs. Hitchcock said.
II the preacher believes in being
contented why wasn't he satisfied with
the suit the Ladies' Aid society bought
him instead Of finding fault with the
cut OF 1T" Pamela returned.
Il never felt called upon to criticize
the minister and I don't think you
ought to-" Mrs. Hitchcock looked at
her daughter reprovingly.
I'll sell my 80. mother, SO don't
worry" Pamela declared, with an air
Of assurance that nearly provoked Alb.
ner into a spasm.
Pamela Hitchcock, you don't know
what you are doing! What would you
invest your money thinning stock?"
he protested.
That's my business!" she retorted
A sharp rap on the parlor door
brought Pamela to her feet with a
start. ~
ITS Mr.. Morris coming for my de-
cision."
What decision, Pamela-about your
marriage?" Abner burst out frantical
ly. his heavy masculine mind failing
to see any significance between the
mysterious caller and Pamela's de-
string to sell her land. mo, say It is
not, Pamela?"
She started to the door. Abner
sprang to his feet and caught hold OF
her arm.
"One minute, before you go to the
door," he cried, his voice choking with
emotion. Il want to know If you have
gone back on me?"
mo, Abner. you never gave me the
chance"
I've wanted to, goodness knows, all
these years, but every time tried to
speak-my tongue would get twisted
and the nice phrases I had thought out
beforehand would disappear like magic
and I would feel as awkward as a
whale on Pixies peak. I've waited
hoping that something would loosen
my tongue. 1t has come"
In the guise of real estate agent
who wants me to trade my 80 acres
for city property" Pamela put in slyly.
and glanced at her mother whose anx-
ious face reflected her feelings.
What Ounce l have been!" Alb
ner stared his establishment. pa
mela, love you. Don't sell the land.
Marry me and I'll take you to Spring
field or any place you want to CO." he
pleaded
Another knock at the door threw
Abner into state of greater excite
ment
Answer me. Do you love me?"
Eyes" she murmured.
His lips were close to hers and with
Mrs. Hitchcock nodding approval, he
kissed her.
Pamela finally went to the door and
opened it, but Mr.. Morris had grown
impatient and departed.
In the fast gathering darkness she
saw figure at the far end of the lane.
But she did not call him back.

Have A Home OF Your Own.

They are wise young man and wom-
an who start out in home of their own
in some place where they will have green
grass about their house, even if it is only
a few feet. 1t makes no difference how
humble or how modest the house may be.
The smallest box of house with plot
of green, is temple of common sense
compared to the finest "flat" or "board-
ing house" in the city. If there is any
thing appropriate in this life, it is that
young people should live somewhere
where each day they can see their own
unfolding lives reflected in the unfolding
workings of nature. There is no begin
ming, in the home sense, to young mar
ried life so true, so wise, so lasting and
so satisfactory as that. No life in city
is comparable with that which is lived in
small house with green things growing
over and around it, where Gods pure
sunshine bathes and sweetens every side
of the house during the day, and where
the surest life lifegiving odors that God
gives to his children, the odors of soil and
growing things, are blown into the house
while we sleep.

Digging a Canal On Mars.

Announcement of final proof that the
planet Mars is inhabited was made by
Professor Percival Lowell, the Marian
expert and director of the observatory at
Flagstaff, Ariz.
Prof. Lowell announced that he had
seen new canal spring into being last
summer, showing, he declared, that it had
Just been completed by the Martians.
Water had just been turned into and it
vegetation had sprung up in hitherto
uninhabitable part of the great desert
which comprises most ofthe planets sur
face.
Not only did he see the new canal, but
he photographed it, he asserted. Pre-
vious photographs of this region, made
as late as May, failed to show any trace
of 1t. The fact that it developed between
May and September, when it was first
observed, Prof. Lowell regarded as posi-
tive proof that it was artificial, and there
fore that living beings existed there.
Prof. Lowell made this announcement
to Prof. S. W. Burnham, of the YerkeS
Observatory. The new canal, 900 miles
long, extends southeast from the region
of vegetation known as Synis Major,
through the great plain of Libya, he said.
Prof. Lowell's discovery is OF the Ut
most importance. 1t seemed to be the
strongest confirmation yet obtained ofthe
belief that there are living, intelligent be-
ings on Mars. His theory, that the mark
ingS on the planet are canals and that
these canals are the work of living beings,
is the only one that fits all the known
facts.

Neighbors of John P. Kibler, of Luray,
Page county, are talking of the strange
suicide of his cow after she had mourned
the loss of calf which had been convert
ed into veal. With other cows she was
pastured in a field in which there was an
old well containing several feet of water.
Persons who heard the cow uttering plain
tive sounds saw her look into the well,
then walk away about 100 yards. Then,
as if her mind had been firmly made up,
she walked deliberately to the opening
and plunged into it, head first.

A Railroads Good Work.

Civic improvements is work in which
the Norfolk & Western Railway is actively
engaged all along its lines. For that pur-
pose this company keeps an expert land
scape gardener, who assists cities and
towns by making their localities beautiful,
laying out parks, school grounds and
courthouse grounds with view OF pro-
ducing artistic landscape effects. The
company also furnishes blue prints OF
small park ways containing from one to
five acres for the benefit of the commune
ties along the line.
This department is under the charge OF
F. H. LaBaume, Agricultural and Indus
trial Agent of the Norfolk & Western,
who is now being frequently called on to
visit cities and towns, to confer with
committees, and with the assistance Of
Mr.. Foy, railway landscape gardener,
helps them lay out parks, school grounds,
etc. Everybody knows that these
grounds are too often neglected in many
sections and, where such is the case, the
community has cheap, impoverished,
don't-care appearance 10 the visitor.
Wherever artiStically arranged land
scape effects are to be seen the commun-
ity is Immediately recognized as a thriv-
ing locality and the value of the real es-
tate is generally enhanced. In addition
to the artistic benefits gathered from the
work OF this department, property gener-
ally is benefited and increased in value
wherever this good work has been done.
So far, Mr.. LaBaume and Mr.. Foy have
visited localities and done this work for
them without any charge whatever.

After
La Grippe

Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. | was so nervous that
l could not rest or sleep. When
| dozed off | would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. DR.. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits"
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
