of the best devices of its kind they
have ever tried, to place derailed cars
and engines back on the track An
other is a tie-plate for preventing the
spreading of the rails. A third inven-
ton that will prove of great benefit, it
is believed by railroad men, is a. new
pattern of claw bar for pulling spikes.
It is claimed that more spikes can be
extracted with this device than by any
other now in use. The fourth patent
is a novel and practical derail that
protects car repairers while at work
remodeling and doing repair work on
disabled cars.

old Mrs Webster spoke up:
@Mel, who's dead?' Mrs. Webster was always i'm
politely abrupt; but Mel answered very gravely
"Narcissa has lost dear friend"
And that's all anyone could get out of her; though
old Mrs Webster ventured to ask if it any relation,
anyone we knew. Mel only smiled vaguely, in that
gentle way of hers, and said that she could not say
Mrs. Webster got in a corner and spoke about 1T
quite Indignantly, and suggested that Narcissas visits
away from home might be full of scandal for all we
knew; but Lucinda Wright hushed her up. She said
that Narcssas life doubtless full of romance and
that perhaps-who could tell?-Narcssa might really
have been married. and that why she cared to spend
SO much OF her time IN the great city.
Harmon was in an uproar Business Monday
morning the drugstore and the grocery and the dry
goods emporium had never been so brisk Everybody,
it seemed had an GRAND down town that morning an
nothing was discussed but Miss Narcissas widow
weeds. Presidential election days nothing to COM
pare to this excitement and mystery.
TWO days later saw Sheldon Coulter driving Mar
l. cissa out in his new automobile Sheldon had the
only motorcar in Harmon, and it great sight for
the Harmonites. People jumped for the windows or
doors when they heard roaring the streets or the
up for the whole day. And now here was Miss Mar
cssa and the motorcar together and Narclssas long

thick white widows ruche resting against her bright
brown hair-and will say that she looked pretter than

NARCISSA'S VALUE

and of course it was to see her.
l don't suppose she can live
much longer-and then
what's going to become of that
helpless old man, Mr.. Shan
non, and Priscilla? Priscilla
is almost blind, and he's deaf.
Lies hard, | tell you! Moth
ing but trouble!'
If you went into a store to
get goods, the clerk or the
storekeeper would tell you the
same thing; but never Miss
Mel. Everything was always
just right with Miss Mel; or
if it wasn't she never let any
one know it. 1t was JOY to
sit with her on her back porch
and hear her talk about things
that make people happy to
think about; or even just to
sit there with her in that large,
unhurried calm that seemed
to flow about her like river
of peace. Narcissa always did
things in a rush and a hurry;
but it never seemed to bother
Mel. More than anyone |
ever knew, Miss Mel was
willing to let other people live
as they pleased. She never
criticized them, and she never
gave advice.
ibid finally make up my
! mind to 60 over to the
Wrayburns that afternoon.
Everybody in Harmon had
been there, it seemed, and
there were enough there then
to make a party. Narclssa
had seen no one; but Miss
Mel was in the long parlor
talking quietly to people,
though no one had dared to
say anything to her about
Narcissa's mourning. Finally
