Young Mr..
Wells
By Lawrence Alfred Clay

There are certain men who feel a
sense of proprietorship as soon as they
become engaged. Perhaps this is the
right thing, but now and then there is
a girl who objects to it. 1t was so in
the case of Miss Dora Thurston.
Frank Wells had scarcely secured an
avowal from her that he was loved in
return when he heaved long sigh
of relief and said:
"And now, of course, that fellow
Wakefield will get a hint that he need
not call here any more?"
"But why?" was asked.
"And you won't have that Burton
dangling around?"
"Mr. Burton never dangled."
"And that cad of Graham will be
told that you are not at home?"
He will be told no such thing! Mr..
Graham is far from being cad"
"And Peterson will not be permit
ted to drop in here as if it were his
club
II don't understand you, Mr.. Wells"
said the newly-engaged as she drew
herself up. Because 1 have promised
to marry you does it follow that am
to become a prisoner in the garrett or
down cellar?"
Dora, you have given me the right
to say what company you shall keep
was the reply You are so precious
to me that-that-"
THAT you would treat me like a
five-year-old child! But you can't do
it. Until we are married l shall in
sist on receiving my friends at this
house. A great change seems to have
come over you all of sudden. Here
tofore you have not objected to any
of the gentlemen named" 5
Because had not the right Even
If knew them to be cads l could not
object. Now, however, it is different .
"Mr. Wells, do you mean to say that
I have been receiving cads in my
fathers house?" the girl demanded
"Well-er-you know" -
II know, sir, that l do not like the
way you talk. I think you introduced
me to every gentleman we have
named"
But being engaged to you. you
see."
"Then we are engaged, are WEI"
Perhaps not!" -, j.
"And young Mr. Wells was just don
key enough to walk out of the parlor
and out of the house and leave the i'm.

per-one who would have driven him
from home after few weeks, And
then he decided that he did scAre, but
that he would be the boss or perish.
The third decision was that he had
made an idiot of himself and couldn't
ask forgiveness any too soon. Give a
donkey of young man time enough
and he will strike the right policy.
Mr.. Wells wanted forgiveness, but
where to go for it? He had a pull at
the bank and got four days off. He
had crisp ten-dollar bill for the but
Ter, and the butler proved disloyal to
his mistress, just as she had figured
that he would
A grip was packed and the glossy"
young man hied him to mountain re-
sort. He hadn't planned that he
would, but some one had planned for
him. With railroad time table and
lead pencil and thirty minutes to fig
ure in she was sure even of the train
he would arrive on. And half an hour
before the arrival of that train, Miss
Dora Thurston took to the woods. In
other words, dressed for walk on the
hills, she left the hotel and took
path leading upwards among the trees
and powders and outcrop.
Mr. Wells tried to arrive with his
dignity, but it was rather failure.
He hunted up Mrs. Thurston and ex-
planned that he had been granted
few days off to cure his hay fever,
and that he had arrived at the Bald
Eagle quite by accident and she had
the courtesy not to smile. 1t was all
of three minutes and a half before he
carelessly inquired for Miss Dora and
learned that she had gone for walk.
Then he carelessly said he would look
her up, as she would probably be quite
anxious to know that the weather in
town was SO hot that truck horses
were falling like autumn leaxes be-
fore its fiery blast. Young ladies do
take vivid interest in these things!
Miss Dora met boy and she met
man, and, she met two romantic girls,
and she took pains that they should
see her take path marked: "Dan-
gerous-Beware of Avalanches!" Up
that path to spot where there had
been slide of rocks a week before,
and then she dropped her handker-
chief, removed her hat and tossed it
from her, and then went into hiding.
Miss Dora had figured time as close
as train dispatcher. She had not
been in hiding ten minutes when Mr..
Wells came up on the run. He saw
the hat and handkerchief and uttered
a groan and shout. He was not up
on avalanches, and he took this for a
new one. Under it would be found
the dead and mangled body of the girl
he had tried to boss!
! Off came the coat and hat and vest
Of the frantic lover, and he went to
work like dog digging out wood
chuck. Help could have been had
half mile away, but he felt he could
not stop to summon it. No hero ever
toiled harder for a quarter Of an hour,
and he was still at it when Miss Dora
slid gracefully down to his feet and
scrambled to remark:
"Now, then, if you have changed
your mind about cads and other
things we will sit down and talk. If
you work any longer you will have a
lame back tomorrow"
ooh, Dora, II-!"
"The girl bosses before marriage
you know, and the husband after
| wards"

MONEY FOR GOOD ROADS.

NUN r FON OOOD MA I'D.
Less government money fol
battleships and useless political
navy yards, and more for improve
ment of the public roads!
Every day the wisdom of this
proposal is appealing more
strongly to the national law
makers. In fact it is being made
to appeal more strongly to them
by the agitation of the subject by
the farmers in all parts of the
country. 1t is only a question OF
short time until agitation of the
subject will find expression in
legislation.
The champions of road i'm
provements do not want, and do
not demand that any rev expense
be saddled on the government
treasury. Their program is the
essen,e o. simplicity and reason
ableness. tor all they ask is that
the government use money which
is being wasted to give the nation
better highways.
The federal government of this
country has never taken much in
terest in road building, and in
this respect is behind all foreign
nations. everyone of which has
roads which put us to shame.
Wagon roads, like waterways and
railways are the commercial
arteries of nation. They must
be in good condition if the com
mercial health of the country is
to be good. Improved roads. as
compared to unimproved roads,
lessen the distance from farm to
railway station more than one halt.
Land ten miles from a shipping
station on bad roads, will rent
and sell for an almost double
amount if the roads ale made
good In every way.
Tine Good Roads idea is gradu-
ally becoming of greater political
significance, and therein lies the
hope of the friends of the move.

is taken must have its source in

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

Richmond Virginia: Admitting
Roosevelts power of brutal appeal
We shall await with confidence
the verdict of the great American
jury concerning two public men
who, did they attempt privately
what they do politically, would
be ostracised on the streets of
any self-respecting community.
Mobile Register: The President
lowers the office when he goes
scrambllng for his retention of it.
Some things are not worth having
Life, for example, where honor is
lost. or Office that must be obtained
by sacrifice of self respect.
New York Post: Fancy giving
the Democrats such a campaign
document as would be the speech
OF a Republican President de-
nouncing the Republican nominee
as man without shred of
character! This, in the political
aspect, is the extraordinary, even
appalling, plight into which the
Republican party has been plunged
by the bad faith and the mad am
bition and the perilous obsessions
of Theodore Roosevelt.
Pittsburgh Post: The contest
between President Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt has reached the
acute stage. They are facing the
crucial test, each with deter
mination to destroy the other, and
at the same time the old party is
crumbling at both extremes. 1t is
like a race for the distinction of
winning credit as chief scuttler
OF the ship; and. no matter who
wins, the ship will be scnttled
just the same.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: 1t
marks a breaking down of ira
dition. new deal in politics; it sets
precedent in forcing a President
seeking denomination to go forth
strenuously into the fight to show
by what right he demands the
honor. Whatever may happen,
this is better than for the people
to allow steam roller to do
their thinking for them.
New York Globe: Whatever
the result of the Chicago convent
ion, it is evident the President
has lessened the likelihood of his
re election. His latest venture is
another political blunder. Abuse
of Roosevelt by any one does not
help Taft; abuse of Roosevelt by
Taft himself certainly does not
help Taft. i
