offered to work for very low wages,
and as 1t was harvest time Tillson en-
ployed him.
Now, Jane no sooner saw young Zeke
Freeman doing the hardest work there
was to be done on the farm, which her
uncle put upon the young man, than
she pitied him. Pity being akin to
love, she loved him. She was bright
enough, however, to keep the situation
from her uncle. who never suspected
1t till Freeman one day went to him
to ask for James hand
"No; ye can't have Jane" snarled
old Tillson ungraciously. she's my
brothers daughter an has money of
her own, an you amt nothin' but a
hired man with no prospects. 1 don't
see what Jane was thinkin' on to say
ye could ask me. Ye can't have her,
an that's all there is to it,"
Zeke opened his mouth as though to
protest or to strengthen his case by
further argument, but Tillson's face
was grim and forbidding, and he knew
the old man too well to weaken his
chances by causing useless irritation.
He turned away.
That afternoon they were near the
farmyard gate. Zeke digging post
holes and old Tillson patching up a
wheelbarrow, when the drummer Of an
agricultural warehouse appeared. But,
instead Of going straight to Tillson,
he stopped at the gate and began to
examine it curiously.
Queer contrivance that" he said
presently. Good idea, though-grand,
good idea. How did you happen to
think Of it?''
tits some of my hired mans dilly-
dallyin'," replied Tillson grutfly. Hes
forever up to something Of that sort.
Wastes half his time"
Zeke flushed little, but did not
look up.
mo wasted time about that" de-
clared the drummer emphatically. "It's
valuable idea. There's money in it,"
Money" questioned Tillson eagerly.
Then ne saw one of the horses suueez-
ing his body through the open door
way OF the corncrib. and he rushed
on. He would have sent Zeke. only
he preferred him to continue at the
post hole digging.
$50 it's your idea, is it?" said the
drummer as he crossed to Zeke's side.
Going to have it patented, of course"
Zeke laughed. "Patepted!" he echoed.
THAT foolish thing? Why, it's moth
ing but a lot of stones and two
hinges placed so the gate will shut Of
itself"
but that's just the sort of thing
which usually proves valuable" DER
sisted the drummer The simpler the
device, II it's useful, the better. You'll
make a mistake if you don't protect
the idea"
Then | guess I'll make the mis-
take" said Zeke carelessly. Patents
cost money, and | haven't any. Re-
sides. II had wouldn't risk so CENTS
on that foolish thing"
The drummer regarded him thoupht-
fully. Look here" he said suddenly

THEY HADE TO TIME THIS
BOZ 81 SIXTEENTH SECONDS

Some remarkable stories are told
about j. Donaldson. the latest sprint
liig marvel. who halls from Victoria
Cape Colony. aud II the South African
lives up To his reputation. he promises
TO set the athletic world by the ears.
Donaldson is credited with cen
tury In s9-i6 seconds. 200 yards IN
10 rs seconds. 400 yards In "a S-5 sec
onds. and 900 yards in minute
l2 l-5 seconds, while he has a 100
yard record OF III 5-l6 seconds.
In this country runners and sprint
ers are caught In fifths OF seconds,
and these records In sixteenths are
not familiar. Neither are they In Eng
land. where the suggestion has been
put forth, In the absence OF positive
information. that Donaldson may have
been timed by an electrical device.
While these records OF Donaldson
are wonderful. Ii true, but one, the
9 9-l6 for 100 yards. is better than
the fastest time for this distance. The
others are all below the standards.
The accepted figure for the 100
yards is 9 S-5 seconds. made by Dan
j. Kelly. June 90. 1906, at Spokane.
and by Jimmy Rector nj Charlottes-
vile. Va, May 10. 1908. Arthur Duff
fy's time has been cast aside. and,
although Reggie Walker. the South
African. and Minoru Fuju. the jap.
we're clocked in 20. the time was
not accepted In this country. III Don
aldson's record stands the acid test,
he will be credited as $50 OF second
faster than Kelly and Rector.
Donaldson's time for 200 yards is
the fastest. save for two performances,
and both are old. Geo. Seward ran
the distance in London March %.
lS47. In 10 l-2. or 3-s Of a secsad fast
er than Donaldson. Seward was a
professional E. II. Polling. an Eng
fish amateur. negotiated the distance
in 10 A.. or $40 of a second faster
than Donaldson. Sept %. 1889.
Donaldson's 400yard time is not as
fast as that of w. C. Downs, who ran
in 43 fiat. July 3. 1890. in Boston. or
Lon Myers who did il In IS SIS on d
circular track In New York June 3,
1882. II. c. Tindall in London. June
29, 1889. ran the four centuries in
80 3-5 These men were amateurs
Donaldson's time for 500 Is not
phenomenal. although the best In re-
cent years. T. E. Burke ran IL in I'LL
in New York, Sept. 10, 1896: Lon
Myers did II in 1 IL 2-5 in the same
city July /. 1882: W. c. Downs ran the
distance in I'LL As In New York. May
II. 1890; and f. c. Bredin. an Eng
lishman. on Sept. "a. 1892. equaled
