 'Oh. mo-" Louise said. q had better wait"
 The vagabond looked up at the sky. ''It's going to rain"
 In the west the clouds were black. At least you will let me get you to shelter"
 Louise looked at him steadily. Where would you take me?" she asked.
 You need not be afraid" he said
 'If you please then" she consented. you may drive me-"
 Before they had gone a half mile the rain was upon them, flashing in at all sides.
 There's an old barn. at the end of this lane," the vagabond said. q passed 1t this morning. We might make a run for it"
 As they gained the shelter. the storm burst in all its fury.
 Well" said Louise, resignedly, 'T don't know whether anybody will ever find us or not Do you think you could make run for 1t and get the hamper? We could have our lunch"
 He brought the big basket back and they sat in the open door and ate of the good things.
 Louise noticed that her companion had the manners of gentleman. Her curiosity getting the better of her she asked: ''How-does it happen that you are here?"
 'I like it," he said. Then he leaned toward her and sang to an air of Schubert's: ''Give to me the life I love.
 Let the lave go by me, Give the jolly heaven above
 And the by-way nigh me. Bed in the bush with stars to see
 Bread I dip in the river There Is the life for a man like me. There the life forever"

Dental Work Makes Dull Pupils Keen

~ LEVELAND, O.-Scientific proof N that proper care of the teeth in- creased the mental efficiency of a squad of pupils at Marion school a grand average of 80 per cent. and pro duced incalculable improvement in their moral and physical condition is contained in the recent report which Dr. w. G. Ebersole read before the delegates of the National Dental as- sociation here.
 For the first time in the history of dentistry scientific data which cannot be disputed are compiled to prove that stupidity, lack of ambition, slovenli- ness, bad temper and many other ills to which the pupil is heir, are traced directly to neglected teeth.
 One girl pupil, whom. physicians found to be mentally defective showed a eair of 444 per cent. in mental efi- ciency, the report shows. after follow ing the rules of oral hygiene for lit tie over a year. Hers is only one of a score of remarkable cases.
 Children who came from fairly good homes gained from 30 to 40 per cent. mentally, while the average ghetto child improved from 50 to 100 per

cent. Charts were taken of the mouths of $40 pupils and the worst forty selected. The school records of this number were in nearly every case as bad as their mouths. Twenty-seven of the original squad underwent the whole test.
 Their teeth were put in good shape; they were instructed how to eat and breathe and psychological tests were taken periodically These tests in- cluded memory, spontaneous associa- ton, addition, association by opposites and quickness of perception The final tests were taken last May and the results compiled. The oral hy- giene experiment was inaugurated after medical inspection in Marion school for three years had failed to show perceptible improvement in the pupils.

ID OSTON.-Breaking the spell of 50 ID years standing, during which there has not been a single marriage in the town, Miss Laura R. Schutt and Rev. Milton Whittier were we'd ded the other day in the village of Mount Washington, Mass. Every in- habitant of the town turned out to attend the wedding.
 The romance of the young clergy man and the farmers daughter is one fraught with an interest which has sunk deep into the hearts of all the folk in the neighboring towns.
 Only a little over a year ago MT. Whittier graduated from the Yale Theological school, and came to the village of Mount Washington to begin his career in the humble little Congregational church.
 It was always Miss Schutt's habit to attend church regularly, but when Rev. MT. Whittier came to the town and took the position of pastor of the church for a season, Miss Schutt

Den ton is a produce merchant of Brook lyn, and he lives with his wife and their two grown children in that bor- ough. His objections to mixing film dramas into his domestic affairs were explained in detail before Magistrate Mcclure in the Flatbush court, whith- CT Denton was called on a summons obtained by his wife. charging bru- tality to their son.
 The produce merchants small frame fairly quivered with indigna- ton as he told of the trouble caused by moving pictures between himself and Mrs. Denton, who weighs about two hundred pounds and is cores pondingly muscular. Since the bio graph craze hit her, the husband said, he not only has suffered from lack of proper nourishment, but also has been made the victim of various supposedly comic scenes copied from the picture shows. To the same evil Denton laid his daughters elopement and his own interest in boxing lessons. It was in teaching the youngster what he knew about the manly art that the father committed the brutality" com

 Balfour had intended to propose be- fore the days trip was over; but his car stopped in the middle of a dusty road. When he had tinkered for a half hour, and had brought no results, he said to the lady of his heart:
 'T am afraid cannot do anything. Will you walk to town with me. or stay here alone?"
 Tt looks so hot" Louise responded, lazily. "and am not afraid. You had better leave me here while you go and hunt someone"
 Well, at least, I'll move the car where the shade will make 1t cooler" !" said Balfour. Surely nothing can happen to you while I am gone"
 "Of course not" Louise answered
 She did not feel so secure, how ever, when her escort disappeared over the brim of the hill. Leaning back against her comfortable cush- ions, she pondered over the situation It might be an hour, two hours, before Balfour came back. She was tired and hungry. In a hamper strapped to the side of the car there was food. She was not sure, however, that she should open 1t before Balfour came back.
 Suddenly she opened her eyes as a voice near her said, Gan I be of service?"
 A tall thin man in shabby clothes stood close to the car. His hat was oil, and showed his hair curling close about his white forehead.
 ''No," Louise said coldly, there is nothing you can do. MT. Balfour has gone to town for assistance. I expect him back at any moment"
 He was not rebuffed, however, by her declination of his offer. q know something of motors" he said. Per haps I might help out"

 'It was a case" he said, "of mis- taken identity. I was like Calhoun Clay.
 Calhoun Clay was body servant to colonel of volunteers. and one July day during the annual encampment he was peeling peaches behind his boss tent when a yellow jacket in it's gorgeous uniform of black and gold came buzzing ronud his head.
 "'G'long dar!' said Calhoun, and the yellow jacket obediently fled.
 "The next day Calhoun was peeling peaches in the same place again when big. tumble bug, little sober-garbed brown beetle, circled round him. He made a swat at 1t with his knife.

IS A PIONEER IN ECONOMICS

In these days when so much is said and done for the conservation of our natural resources there has sprung up a new school of economists who are preaching the doctrine that in labor every Sffort, every expenditure of muscular or mental energy, should count for the utmost and not go to waste. A pioneer in this school is Frederick Winslow Taylor, who re- gently appeared by invitation before committee of congress to explain how the application of his theories in- creases the productiveness of work men from 15 to 20 per cent.
 MT. Taylor Is a native of German town, Pa, and has risen to his present prominence through his own efforts. He is 8 patternmaker and machinist by trade and a mechanical engineer by profession In 1878 he entered the employ of the Midville Steel Com pany, Philadelphia, and was success ively gang boss, assistant foreman, foreman. master mechanic chief

 Soon the young minister began to notice her from the pulpit Frequent ly their eyes met. At first the girls eyes dropped at his earnest gaze Miss Schutt had not been out of school long, having been graduated but a few years from the high school at Great Harrington.
 MT Whittier came to the Schutt house and travelled many a toilsome mile in order that he might see the young woman who had so attracted him in the church. Before the sum- mer was over it was reported that they were engaged, and it was very little time after the rumor started that the entire population of Mount Washington were appraised of 1t
 Then arrangements were made for the wedding. Great arrangements they were, too. Every person in the township accepted the invitation and offered any assistance they might be able to give in preparing the church. When it was over, the bride and groom went away to the groom's home in Brookfield Center, Conn, where they expect to make their home.

 Your honor," Denton said, I've had scarcely moments peace since my wife began taking the children to moving picture shows. Not only do I have to eat cold or warmed over food because she forgets to get my supper when a new film is being shown, but I also have become the butt of all sorts of comic scenes, in which my wife takes the part of the funny fat woman, who gets a laugh by skipping her husband over the head with a coal scuttle or rolling pin, or anything else that's handy. Once when I protested too vigorously she worked in a grand climax by toss ing hot flatiron at my face"
 The prisoner displayed scar on his left cheek, which, he said, the hot iron caused.

 "Oh. no. no, that is not exactly 1t, " said the stranger. By the way, I have to be at the board of trade early. Big deal on"
 Well" responded the clerk, here is another stone Diamonds have ad- vance in price, you know, and I will have to charge you more for this than you paid for that one. I presume"
 "Oh, really, you know the cost does not matter" Then he admitted 1t was exactly what he wanted.

 The last remark came with a rare nonchalanco that took the clerk com pletely off his feet.
