HE WOULDN'T BE A HERO
 By M QUAD Copyright. 1911. by Associated Lit-

By M QUAD

Joe Harper was a sturdy young farm CT, and Ellen Taylor was the daughter of another. and they were engaged to be married. All their friends said It would be a sensible match Joe was given the credit of lots of morse sense" and no one could say that the young woman was a bit frivolous. That is, they couldn't until after a cer. tain girl friend Of hers from town had made her a three weeks visit and left four or i've novels behind Der when she departed.
 Those novels were about heroes, cav. alters, chevaliers and knights They told of perils, combats and rescues Mrs Taylor would have chucked them into the stove had she found them and boxed her daughters ears besides, but she didn't dud them. They were read at night after the rest Of the family was asleep By the time she had in- ished the second oue the girl wns look ing asEance at Joe. He wRs sunburn ed and freckled; his ears were ratber large; instead of saying prithee. he said by gosh. In all the novels the cheva- Hers had plumes in their hats; Joe didn't even wear a hens feather in his old straw. Be had hoe on his shoulder instead of a lance, md he plowed corn with an old Heabitten mare instead or riding around on an Arabian steed.
 No, Joe didn't size up for shucks, compared to the chevaliers.
 In the meadow, near the field where Joe was blowing corn, a colony of bumble bees had taken up their guar ters in a tuft of grass. This fact was known to the Taylor family. and the farmer intended to rout them out some evening, Rumble bees are not cheva. Hers. but they are the next thing to 1t. At 9 o'clock one afternoon. when it was seen that Joe and the old mare were hard at work. Miss Ellen rut on her bonnet and walked ont to that bumblebee caucus. At five feet from it she halted and screamed and danced around.
 The scream reached Joe Harper's ears, and he let go of the blow handles and made for the fence. In m Instant he realized the situation. but be didn't dash forward and fall over several stumps. Instead Of so doing he sat on the fence and called out:
 "ElIen. why in thunder don't you run away"
 "Oh. the humble bees!" she shouted.
 "Yes. but don't stand there like an idiot Make for the house"
 A week had passed and the stlngs he'd been cured. when Joe got another chance. At 2 o'clock one afternoon Miss Ellen sat on the verauda sewing and wondering how Joe would look in armor and on horseback, when she caught sight of a big dog coming along the highway on the gallOp. She screamed for Joe again. He dropped his hoe and came running. but paused as he reached the fence to ask what was the matter.
 Mad dog. Mad dogF' she shouted.
 "Then climb up that ladder on to the roof of the kitchenw
 No rushing to the rescue, no beating the dogs brains out, no remarks worth leaving to posteriy, Miss Ellen was furious with him. That was the reason a rung of the ladder broke as she was descending and precipated her on an ashheap. Within an hour the chevaiier of the hoe received word that>he need
