An unique thief stole a whole
mile of copper wire from the poles
of the Iron Mountain railroads

was the nerviest, neatest piece Of
work that has been reported to the
police anywhere for a long time.
Wire Chief, P. N. Hunter, went to
his office Saturday morning and
received a report from Night
Chief Holtzman that there was'a
break in the wire between this
city and st. Louis. 1t so happened
that the break was on one of the
two copper wires that had just
been erected. Hunter tried and
tried, but could not find the source
of the trouble. Finally he located
a man up the line, who started on,
on his speeder to make an investi-
cation. For hours he made no re-
port. Then he let it be known
that he had returned to his station
and when quizzed declared that he
had been busy all mornsng trail
ing the break and readjusting the
line. He said that an entire mile
of the new copper wire had beer
stolen having been cut evidently

five spoons piled themselves bsly. The babys spoon,
welded by unpractised hand, made several trips to
the floor, whence Jenny patiently picked it up and
wiped it clean upon her scant peticoa Presently she
sat back with sigh of repletion

berhued in the golden sunlight; the naples were deli
caely flushed with ame bold dandelions poured over
by whole bataions into forbidden Places the tall ems
upon the campus made soft haze upon the sky

Professor Brooke walking slowly along the graveled
paths with his hands behind him and his hat off,
lost in meditation Evidently his thoughts pleas
ant ones; for he smiled to himself and occasionally
muttered a word two below his breath Presently he
stopped and gathered shining buttercup from beside
the path. He gazed at it steadily, and the little flower
binked and smiled softly back at him. With air of
guilt, though the act quite blameless, he fastened
it in his buttonhole. In his heart he pouring out
shy libation to the Golden Goddess.
At this point creakng wheel caught his attention,
and he esped Jenny crossing the campus toward him

CLEANS. The earth carpeted with vioets and the
pool was covered with pale green scum.
Back in the direction whence they had come little fig
crept cautiously their wake screening itself behind

"See here, Miss Marvin, what attraction you

quickly to the horizon. "Ohn she said, II don't

back from the horizon both laughing and tender; her
face all one rosy glow.

The professor seized her hands. "Ny Lesbia!' he
said. "AIy Lesbia"
Miss Marvin drew back little "Lesbia?' she ques-
toned dubiously
"Dear heart, no! Lesba has been dead these many
centuries See" and he drew book from his pocket,
&! am done with Lesbia; but have only Just begun
with Angela" He tossed the book into the little pool,
and the green closed the place where it went
down. "And now that have ceased to be a bookworm
and have become a lover OF my KIND he went on,
holding out his arms, come, let us live, let us love- my
Angela!"
NEITHER knew quite how long they stood clasped
together, whether instant or an hour. They
only knew that suddenly SMALL thin face with super

"No. I should think you'd known
that" She Strengthened the child's dress
with deft hand and gazed proudly at
the little rosy face. "Ain' t he handsome?'
why, 1 suppose So" The professor
crooked an awkward finger at the baby,
and the baby smiled delighted1y. But
his voice was dubious.

viction. Hes beauty. Anybody'd

went on, fixing him with sharp and
accusing eye.
Professor Brooke glanced nervously
about. The little wagon completely
blocked his path. There was nothing for
it but to retreat. He turned about and
hastily retraced his steps.
"Leastways, called Jenny after the
retreating figure, MA says they hadn't
orter"
In his confusion Professor Brooke
walked on and on indefinitely, scarce
noting where he went. He rounded
University Hall, quite forgetting he had
lecture there at three o'clock, turned
north to the lighthouse, and then struck
west across the prairie. "The two of
them will drive me mad!" he exclaimed
angrily, Jenny and Catullus. And, by
Jove!" catching sight of figure some two
blocks ahead of him, "it looks as though it
was going to be now or never!"
WHEN Professor Brooke caught up
with Miss Marvin, she hailed him
with delight, displaying tin box and a
garden trowel. @I'm off on an expedi-
ton to get fishworms. And-oh, won't
you dig them for me?"

mo, no. laughingly; @only with the
trowel."
Il may find my heart better adapted
to the work in hand" said the professor
darby.
Miss Marvin changed the subject
@They're not for fishing"
"What for, then?'
"For their nervous systems, said Miss
Marvin. She looked as fresh and smil-
ing as the spring afternoon itself, and
stepped out with blithe vigor.
The professor possessed himself of
the box and trowel, and they walked on
westward, leaving the town behind. Be

came to little wooded hollow with a
