They both had such a pleasant

He was IA. she was ~, when he
gave her ring. 1t was only a
horseshoe nail ring, but it meant
a great deal to the happy little girl
visiting at her maiden aunt's next
door to where the boy lived. "a
The occasion of the ring was at
the time of the little lady's depart
pre- for her city home. 1t was their
betrothal ring, she explained to
her questioning aunt, and the we'd
ding would be as soon as they
grew up.
But the next summer found the
cottage closed, for the maiden
aunt had died, and so the girl
found herself playing on the sea
shore far away from the lad.
Years passed. the girl grew up,
spending a great deal of her time
iabroad. 1t was the wonder of Cos
|siping folk why the girl didn't try
to marry title, for surely, enough
MOBILES had been known to seek
her hand.
In the meantime the boy, think
ing the girl had forgotten him,
went ranching in the west. "Any-
way, she wouldn't look at me
now" he unused, and his heart
held only bitterness toward
women.
1t was one day in June while the
girl was packing for another run
abroad that she took the. horseshoe
nail ring from its place among
more precious jewels. q
Poor little ring" she said,
you're ten years old this sum-
mer. I wonder why he never
wrote to me. I'd like to see the
dear old cottage again." A look
of determination flashed on her
face. A few things were hastily
tumbled into suitcase, and the
girl ran hurriedly out, leaving
word for her mother that she had
gone to the country for a few
days.
The garden was a tangled mass
of shrubbery, but she found the
interior of the house just as her
aunt had left it. She moved about
putting up shades and throwing
the blinds open to admit the sun.
At the little dormer window of
her childhood's room she glanced
over at the boys house. The
house was open someone lived
there. She had heard that his
father, retiring from business, had
chosen to live here the. year round.
Floating out midst the deserted
garden where roses and honey
suckle ran riot, she sang a child
hood song. She ran to peep over
the old gate in the hedge, now
|overgrown by vines. But there,
calmly looking back at her was a
young man, the boy grown up.
He didn't smile; he merely look
ed and started to apologize for
his curiosity. my mother is III. -
The said, "and I wondered what
kind Of new neighbors she was
going to have" He turned to go
into the house. when gently the
girl called to assure him it was
only his old neiehbor come back
to stay for the summer; and idly
she twirled horseshoe nail ring
on her finger as she spoke.
His glance searched her face.
What he read there must have
besn reassuring. for a moment
later he swung the gate on Its
rusty hinges as be rushed to clasp
the girl IN his arms.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb 2.-The beef
barons will have the scalp of DR..
Horace Fletcher if he does not watch
out. The doctor, who is in Pittsburg
to lecture to some women's clubs, has
inspired the common people" with a
hope long deferred He sees the pass
ing away of meat as a palate ticker
and justifies this by citing its i'll eff
fectS.
This no meat agitation, if persisted
in long enough will result in the prae-
teal elimination of meat as a diet
product" the doctor said. "It is my
firm belief that meat will cease to be
eaten in America in the next ten years.
By the continued eating of meat there
is in time produced a condition known
as auto-intoxication which is akin to
alcoholic poisoning and just as fatal in
its effects.
MEAT is lowise needed in the econ
omy of the body. In fact, in every
test I have made it has been found to
be positively deleterious.''
