 Nancy glanced apprehensively at the suit case. It might be that substitu- tion had been made, but there was her name on the end of the case and she only smiled irritatingly.
 If had known that you had grown so feeble, l should have hired a small boy she said. Bert's eyes flashed.
 If you had you would have been ar rested for cruelty to children"
 Perhaps I shall anyhow" she dimpled. You've changed a great deal Bert"
 So have you" was the ungracious response. You didn't use to guy a fellow like this"
 I'm sorry that my presence is so distasteful." she said coldly. q shall walk on ahead and permit you more leisure. l would like to remind you that l have been travelling for seven hours and should like some clean raiment for dinner. Perhaps my trunk will be up by then"
 They'll both be here" promised Bert. T guess you know the way"
 He raised his hat as Nancy passed on and then, upending the suit case, made seat of it until a wagon drove past and he could obtain a lift.
 Meanwhile Nancy hurried on to the house. It was only short walk and she knew the way well. Belle met her at the door,
 Where's Bert?" Belle demanded after greetings had been exchanged Nan, ycI haven't been quarreling," :" she added as she noted the girls crim- son cheeks.
 We didn't quarrel" declared Nancy with toss of the head, but he was perfectly hateful and told him that l would rather walk up alone"
 Tears were dangerously near the surface and Belle drew her into the music room It was her dearest wish that Nancy should marry her brother Bert. Things had been going so nice- ly and now it all seemed spoiled Her anger was hot against Bert and after she had taken the girl to her own room she descended the stairs to await Bert's coming
 Bert was in no humor for argument as he came up the walk. A sense of injury burned hot within him and. as Belle fell upon him, he let loose the vials of his wrath
 And with the wedding only two days off" lamented Belle you're go- ing to spoil my pleasure by having a quarrel with my maid ofshonor?"
 "Or anybody else that guys me and calls me a weakling" he said rebel liously. T want you to have pleas ant wedding, Belle. l was hoping to please you by going and doing like wise. If Nancy would have me, but she just poked fun at me because l said

Hard Luck. However. by Leaps Proceed
cd the Discovery.
''When was boy" said the story
teller, II lived In the Pennsylvania oil
country aud my grandfather owned
big farm down there They had never
found oil within dive or six miles of
,Erandfather's place. but they were
gradually edging along in his direction,
and we all expected that sooner or
litter someb dy would uncover gush'
er there Tint would mean fortune
for grandfather. and as I was his only
heir I naturally took considerable In
terest In the matter Well. one day a
rich oil man came along and made an
offer for grandfnther's farm. They
had struck good we'll near by. and
everybody had come to the conclusion
that grandfather's farm was In the
middle of the oil belt Our friends ad
viRed against the acceptance OF the
FIRST offer. which would have been
twenty times us much as the farm
would have been worth II no oil had
been there. hut II was certain that II
oil were discovered on the farm we
could get $4,000 and perhaps 100000
more than the price mentioned by the
first bidder
Seeing that grandfather wouldn't
sell. the man leased couple of acres
from him and started to put down a
test we'll II was expected that they
would have to drill about thousand
feet to reach the sand in which the oil
was located. and when they got down
that far not o sign of oil had been
found. so they decided to torpedo the
thing.
1.-THE scheme was to put lot of
niiroglycerin into the well and blow
II up. That often made gushers of
what at first seemed to be dry holes.
They brought large quantity Of the
explosive stuff to the farm and stored
It in a little shed, expecting to blow
up the well the next day. Here's where
the hard luck comes in.
ut happened that had goat, and
this goat got into the shed where the
explosive was stored. Boy'ike. rushed
In TO get the goat out. and grandfather
and crowd OF the well drillers saw
me They were horror stricken. For
4 moment nobody could move or even
speak. Then grandfather offered bis
farm to any one who would rescue me.
One of the drillers accepted the offer
and entered the shed, where he sue
-eeded In getting the goat by the horns
just before he had butted into the can
IF nitroglycerin-
HE flung the goat out through the
open door of the shed. and then. catch
Ing me In his arms. carried me out In
safety to grandfather. The old gentle
man insisted on deciding the place over
to him then and there. The next day
they attempted to torpedo the well
and then II was discovered that the
ran which was supposed to be full of
.itroglycerin contained nothing but
lard. and the. goat died Of the shock
I had sustained when II was thrown
from the shed. Eventually the well

Senator Page Asks for Infor-
nation.

Senator Carroll S Page has written
to some of his Vermont newspaper
friends asking their help in securing
the views of their readers and the
people generally on the Canadian
reciprocity bill. Senator Page seems
open to conviction he thinks most
of the newly elected senators favor
reciprocity and he would like. to
support President Taft in his pres
ent effort to establish reciprocity
between the United States and
Canada. if in so doing e" he should
be faithfully conserving the best
interests of Vermont"
The senator notes that the press of
Vermont is largely supporting the
reciprocity plan, but he doesn't join
in the charge of bribery through the
promise of reduced price ON print
paper, which Col. Albert Clark
makes from that fort of intolerance
and protection at any price-the
Home Market club,-apd we don't
suspect him of harbonng any sug-
gestion of the kind.
Senator Page wants to hear from
his Vermont friends, through the
press and in personal letters. if they
are disposed to write down their
opinions for his guidance
And The Age will be glad to help
along in the missionary work in any
way it can. 1t would like to hear
from anyone on the subject of Can
adian reciprocity 1t is easy to crit
cize. AS general thing the critics
are prolific letter writer's, and this
fact may account for Senator Pages
remark that if he were to be govern
ed by the wishes of my Vermont
constituents in the numerous letters
to me, / could not do otherwise than
vote against reciprocity"
1t is easy enough to understand the
panic of the standpat protectionists
at the mere suggestion of making a
slight loophole in the tariff wall, and
the resulting rush for ink bottle, pen
and paper, but we believe the re-
cent thorough discussion of President
Taft's plan has removed many OBJ
jections to it, and dispelled fears and
illusions of blighted homes and
ruined industries ON this side of the
Canadian border.
Reciprocity with our island pos
sessions has not ruined the United
States, nor will freer commercial re-
lations with our next door neighbor
do more. than slightly discomfort a
few trusts as against the benefits re
ceived by the people az a whole.
The Age believes that the people
of Vermont generally are not afraid
of President Taft's reciprocity plan,
and that they will tell him 80.
