park. into which they entered and for
got everything else in the enjoyment Of
a stream, on the bank Of which they
sat throwing stones into the water.
They were thus amusing themselves
when policeman went to them and
arrested them. Their flight had been
discovered and the police notified.
The next morning Sir Michael Franc,
retired barrister. read in a morning
paper of the flight Of the young Earl
of Elton and his sister and their mar
rfage. at which all England was
shocked. Sir Michael had been q close
friend Of the last Earl Of Elton. He
knew that minor was heir to the
title, but for his life couldn't remem-
Der that there was girl.
He finally recalled the fact that q
sister of the last earl, the Hon. Mrs.
brewer, had left little girl and that
Mrs. Dwyer anc the earrs brother,
Tweed Spencer. had been left in
charge of the estate and the two chill
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 de-
tained and before they slept had pass
ed some time in hearing their story.
When the trial came up the next
morning the children's guardian.
Tweed Spencer. was there to claim
their return. What was his sorprise
to see Sir Michael step forward and
announce himself as their solicitor.
Indeed. Spencer turned white. He was
playing game that would have been
very easy had not the children over
stepped all supposed bonds by falling
In love. AS it was. his defeat was cer-
tain. lie made clean breast of it and
admitted that there was no intention
to make the children believe they were
brother and sister. but Sir Michael in
trodnced evidence proving that the
guardian had intended to marry the
enri to his own daughter. The will
showed that provision had been made
Tor the union of two properties in the
marriage of the cousins, to defent
which Spencer had brought them IN

The young couple were delighted a,
the result of their escapade. The court
decided to appoint new guardian and

CUT OUT THE soREss.

Your Peach and Plum Trsss Will eus-
fer n Ysu Nsslsst rhls Wsri1.
Take q look at your peach and plum
trees and So II there are any Egns Of
peach tree borers. A nne wood dust
at tho base Of the trees is the sign.
If 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 wasplike moth which
flies during the daytime from the mid
die Of June to the middle Of Septem-
ber and lays its eggs on the bark ut
the base of the trunk. In few days
the little grub or worm matches from
the egg and eats its way through the
bark to the soft inner layer, where it
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 sharp knife blade or point
ed wire, say the horttculturists at the
Kansas Agricultural college. It 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 tho destructive
peach tree borers is to prevent their en-.
tering the tree by coating the bark
with solution Of boiled lime and sui
phur.
Make this application after the Dor.
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 StIRK.
The Place Whore . Man Lives IL ths
Place Whore No Should Buy Me-
eessities Of Lite.

A case in point illustrating the b4ne-
fits of home trade to the town Itself
has been told. II Is subject that
permits Of elaboration. II was told
how Il town with the home trade spirit
forged away ahead OF neighboring
town which obtained its merchant Sc
from the mail order houses The ad-
vantage OF trading mt the home shops
was made plain. and now word on
the subject OF home trade as n duty.
AS matter Of fact. 1t is II duty that
every citizen with the welfare Of his
particular community at heart owes to
that community. Probably be himself
is Obliged to earn his living In that
town. II 50 no arguments should be
needed to convince him that home
trade is SO much his duty that IL he is
patron of the mail order houses in
stead he does not deserve 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 nre
doing business where he 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
1t. 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 20 behind
his announcements in the local papers,
while the mail order houses can and do
make all kinds Of Offers in their city
papers. knowing full well the best sat
isfaction a defrauded customer in q
remote town can get is to write let
ter Of protest-which goes into the
wastebasket.
This depression from the subject Of
home trade as a duty Is merely to call
attention to the fact that there are
more spurious bargains advertised by
the mail order houses than genuine
ones.
Home trade as duty ought to bs
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.

nursery one morning when
Mrs. Rawson, who was in full
charge Of him, brought in little girl
Of about the same years, saying to him:
Here's little sister for you. Ralph.
Her name is Gladys. Now. don't let
me hear any more grumbling about not

ing at the girl admiringly. "Why
haven't seen her before?''
Don't ask questions or Ill 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 and had been kept together ever
since. Since no one 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 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
i its first conflict with civilization. and

money they had-money was never de

lings and lot of pennies. Taking this
they went OF on such ramble Il.
they had often taken together before.
They had been kept SO aloof from

With enc exception, this underground
waterway tunnel is the largest in the

It, and great physical endurance was
required Of the men who carried out
the work.
The tunnel pierces the solid rock of
