Cupid as a Lucky Prompter

a stream. on the bank Of which they
sat throwing stones into the water.
They were thus amusing themselves
when a policeman went to them and
arrested them. Their flight had been
discovered and the police notified.
The next morning Sir Michael Frame.
a retired barrister, read In a morning
paper of the flight of the young Earl
of Elton and his sister and their mar
riage, Mt which all England was
shocked. Sir Michael had been a close
friend Of the last Earl of Elton. He
knew that a minor was heir to the
title, but for his life couldn't remem-
Der that there was a girl.
He finally recalled the fact that a
sister OF the last earl. the Hon. Mrs.
brewer. had left a little girl aud that
Mrs. Dwyer and the earl's brother,
Tweed Spencer. had been left I'm

dren. who were orphans. This Spen-
Ger, on assuming this responsibility.
had discharged Sir Michael as solicitor
for the estate and employed another
man. 1t occurred to Sir Michael that
since his old friends boy was in trou-
BILE he would need the services of some
one who would be interested In him.
He took the train the same day for
the town where the children were do
tained and before they slept had pass
ed some time In hearing their story.
When the trial came mp the next
morning the children's guardian.
Tweed Spencer. was there to claim
their return. What was his surprise
to see Sir Michael step forward and
announce himself as their solicitor.
Indeed. Spencer turned white. he was
playing a game that would have been
very easy had not the children over
stepped all supposed bonds by falling
in love. AS 1t was, his defeat was GER

admitted that there was no intention
to make the children believe they were
brother and sister. but Sir Michael In
trcduced evidence proving that the
guardian had Intended to marry the
earl to his own daughter. The VIII
showed that provision had been made
for the union of two properties In the
marriage OF the cousins. to defeat
which Spencer had brought them up
as brother and sister.
The young couple were delighted ut
the result Of their escapade. The court
decided to appoint a new guardian and
yielded to their request in appointing
Sir Michael Frame. The earl went to
Oxford. and GLE 'ys was placed under
the care of tutors selected BY her
guardian. When they came into their
fortunes they ven to the Elton es-

years old. was playing In his
nursery one morning when
Mrs. Rawson. who was In full
charge of him, brought in u little girl
of about the same years, saying to him
Here's a little sister for you. Ralph.
Her name Is Gladys. Now, don't let
me hear any more %grumbling about not
having playmates like other children"
as she my sister," said Ralph, look
ing at the girl admiringly. why
haven't l seer her before?"
Don't ask questions or I'll send her
away"
So Ralph and Gladys proceeded TO
enjoy each others company In the
amusements of childhood. As they
grew older they wondered why they
had been separated till their first meet
ing aud had been kept together ever
since. Since no n seemed disposed
to inform them they spent much time
building up hypothesis, Gladys prefer
ring those which accounted for her alb
sence from her brother. she having
been stolen by a fairy when she was
a baby. But she had very little remem-
brance of her early life.
They had no playmates except each
other. No one interfered with their
growing up together in any way their
fancies led them. BY and by Ralph
began to talk about Gladys being his
wife. to which she responded that she
didn't believe brothers and sisters ever
married. And so as they passed
through different stages of develop
ment there came different kinds Of
feeling till at last they were nearly
grown.
One day when they were fifteen
years old they discovered Mrs. Raw
son packing Gladys belongings When
asked what she was going to do she
told them that Gladys was to be taken
away. The color vanished from the
face Of each. Nature had met for them
its first conflict with civilization. and
nature always makes a desperate nght.
especially In the case of the young.
These two had been left to mate like
the birds. A separation now could
not be endured. Something must be
done. Several days elapsed before
there were any signs OF Gladys I'm

spent in talking the matter over. What
was there for two children brought up
as they he'd been to do except to Zee.
One morning they got together all the
money they had-money was never de-
MED them-and counted rs. some shil-
lings and a lot of pennies. Taking this.
they went of on such a ramble as
they had often taken together before.
They had been kept so aloof from
the world that there is a possibility
they did not know what marriage
meant. especially between brother and
sister. They soon found a minister.

CUT OUT THE BoRERs.
Your Peach and Plum Trees Will suf-
fer II You Neglect This Work.

Your Peach and Plum Trees Will suf-
fer " You Neglect This Work.
Take a look at your peach and plum
trees and see II there are any signs Of
peach tree borers. A fine wood dust
at the base of the trees is the sign.
II it's there it's time for you to COM
bat one Of the most destructive orchard
pests.
The borer works beneath the bark
and wood at the base of the tree. 1t
is the larva of a wasplike moth which
flies during the daytime from the mid
die Of June to the middle Of Septem-
Der and lays its eggs on the bark at
the base of the trunk. In a few days
the little grub or worm matches from
the egg and eats its way through the
bark to the soft inner layer, where 1t
feeds and lives during the fall. winter
and spring. In June and midsummer
1t becomes dormant and transforms
into a moth.
When the borers are once under the
bark the best thing to do is to remove
them with a sharp knife blade or point
ed wire, say the horticulturists at the
Kansas Agricultural college. 1t doesn't
injure the tree to cut the bark with
lengthwise Sits. but cutting should
never be crosswise. Fall and early
spring are the best times for removing
the borers.
The best way to fight the destructive
peach tree borers Is to prevent their n
tering the tree by coating the bark
with a solution Of boiled lime and sui
phur.
Make this application after the bor-
ers in the trees have been killed. 1t
will prevent the moths from laying
eggs there for some time. This treat
ment Is good for plum trees as well
as peach trees.

HOME TRADE IS A DUTY
NO CITIZEN SHOULD ShlHK.
The Place Where a Man Lives Is the
Place Where He Should Buy Me-
eessities Of Life.

A cas- in point illustrating the bene-
fits OF home trade to the town itself
has been told. 1t is a subject that
permits of elaboration. 1t was told
how a town with the home trade spirit
forged away ahead of O neighboring
town which obtained its merchandise
from the mail order houses. The adj
vantage. of trading at the home shops
was made plain, and now n word on
the subject of home trade us a duty.
AS a matter of fact. it is a duty that
every citizen with the welfare of his
particular community at heart owes to
that community. Probably he himself
is obliged to earn his living in that
town. If SO no arguments should be
needed to convince him that home
trade is so much his duty that If he is
a patron of the mail order houses in
stead he does not deserve a livelihood
from the patronage of his neighbors.
Take the man who earns his bread
and butter in another town or city.
In spite of that fact 1t is his duty, too.
to patronize the home stores. They are
doing business where no has establish
ed his home, where he casts his vote
at election time and where his chill
dren are going to school. He most GER
tainly owes that town something be-
sides his taxes.
OF course fair treatment BY the
storekeeper should be expected, and
usually he is shrewd enough to accord
It. On the other hand, the thousands
who have to their sorrow bought "a pig
in the bag" from a mail order house
know that distance lends enchant-
ment"-to the view the mail order
house takes Of the matter. A home
merchant cannot very we'll 60 behind
his announcements in the local papers,
while the mail order houses can and do
make all kinds Of offerp in their city
papers, knowing full well the best sat
isfactton a defrauded customer in a
town can get is to write q let
ter Of protest-which goes into the
w~astebasket.
This depression from tho subject Of
home trade as a duty Is merely to call
attention to the fact that there are
more spurious bargains advertised by
tho mail order houses than genuine
ones.
Home trade as a duty ought to be a
town slogan. 1t should be practiced
and preached by every man and wo-
man identified with the best interests
of the town they call their home.

whsr. Watermelon. Do Best.

Notwithstanding their name. water
melons thrive best in a well drained
and comparatively dry soil. The best
soil is sandy loan, and 1t cannot be
worked up too well. The most sue
cessful growers give the vines plenty
of room, planting hills from eight to
twelve feet apart. Enough seeds are
planted to insure a good stand and
lightly covered with about IN inch OF
light soil. Before the vines begin to
run the hills are thinned out to two
or three of the most thrifty plants.
The best way of working is to cuiti-
vate closely is soon as the plants are
well up. then work them frequently
until the vines are running in the ynid-
dies. Cultivation should not di~sturbsroot

awoke him. and he at ono came to the

The sudden abating Of wind and the
quick subsiding of the waters impress

faith, which was inexcusable. as they
