and did not waken until noon. Blair
thought II would be a matter OF few
hours only to find the whereabouts of
the celebrated actress. but IL was not
such an easy job. He had not guessed
that she might be travelling incognito.
and at none OF the hotels could he
hear news of her, nor did he pass her
in the crowded. noisy, rustling. cry
ing streets, though lie searched mo-
tors for her with eager eyes, and
haunted restaurants and cafes, and
went everywhere that he thought she
might be likely to be.
At the end of the third day. unsuc-
cessful and in despair, having hardly
slept and scarcely eaten, the unhappy
young lover found himself taking a
slight luncheon in the little restau-
rant known as the Perouse down on
the Quais. His head on his hand, for
the present moment the joy OF life
gone from him, he looked out through
the windows at the Seine, at the
bridge and the lines of Towering trees.
He was the only occupant of the up
per room where, of late. he had or
dered his luncheon.
The tide Of life rolled slowly in this
quieter part of the city, and as Blair
sat there under the window there
passed a piper playing a shrill, sweet
tune. 1t was so different from any OF
the loud metropolitan clamors, with
which his ears were full, that he got
up, walked to the window and leaned
out. 1t was pastoral that met his
eyes. A man piping, followed by little
pattering goats; the primitive, un-
looked-for picture caught his tired at
tention, and, just then, opposite the
Quais, two women passed-flower sell
lers, their baskets bright with GRO
cuses and CIRCLES. The bright pic
ture touched him and something of
the spring-like beauty that the day
wore and that dwelt in the May light,
soothed him as nothing had for many
hours.
He paid his bill, took courage.

stick and walked out briskly, crossing
the bridge to the Rue de Rivoli, deter

down the tears.
NO, no. you come with me, Lefty;
I'm not going to let you run to your
motor and escape me again."
Go; I'll wait here" she promised
Il give you my word"
AS he snatched up the inanimate
objects from the leaf-strewn ground
where he had thrown them in despair,
he thought how things can change in
a quarter Of an hour.
Jubilant to have overcome the fate
which had tried TO keep her hidden
from him In Paris, he could hardly be.

into the Avenue des Acacias, he asked
her the question uppermost in his
mind:
Are you alone in Paris, Letty?"

You haven't any right to ask me
that"

right. You're engaged TO me, aren't

There are various methods of graft
age, the most common in the west be-
ing cleft and kerf grating. These op-
erations are simple and are known 70
most orchardists.
IN cleft grating, the limb is sawed
off squarely. the stub split down about
two inches with the grating chisel,
and the clefts wedged open with the
scion inserted as a wedge.
The first bud should be left little

bud a little thinner than the other
The scion is tten driven firmly into
place with the lower bud to the out
side. and little below the top OF the
cleft.
It Is important that the inner bark
on the outer edge of the wedge should
be brought in contact with the inner
bark on the stub Il is between these
parts that the union takes place.
Kerf grating is almost the same as
cleft grating. only the stub is pre-
pared by saw cuts instead OF splitting.
These sre made on opposit., sides of
the stub and trimmed to thip Vshaped
grooves with a saddler's knife; the
scion is then trimmed to tit, driven
firmly into place and waxed as in cleft
grating.
1t iJ not good practice to remove
the whole top of the tree the first
year and graft all the stubs. Often
this proves too much for the tree and
it fails even after the gratis have
made a good start. They may linger
two or three years and then die.
A better plan is to cut away only
enough limbs to set scion for a good

which are making their headquarters

were first noticed about a week ago
These are the birds from which aig

species is feared because the aigrettes
can be obtained only when the bird
is raising its young. and its death at
the hands OF the hunter also means

SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over

"When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and biI- iousness much of the time; but about two years ago l went to visit a friend and got in the habit of drinking Postum.
 T have never touched coffee since and the result has been that l am now entirely well of all my stomach and nervous trouble. (Tea contains caf- feine, the same drug found in coffee.)
 My mother was just the same way, We all drink POstum now, and have not had any coffee in the house for two years and we all are we'll
 A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid She was not able to do her work and could net even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of. the day
 T persuaded her at last to stop drinking coffee and try Postum, and she did so, and she has used Postum ever since; the result has been that s2e can do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side In fact. she has got well and It shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble.

The Wood River Branch railroad is in financial straits and the interest on the bonds which fell due July 1 has been defaulted. The railroad is about six miles in length and is between Hope Valley and Wood River Junction, connecting with the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at the latter place. The railroad was built about 40 years ago and was capitalized at S1O0, ,000. The stock was subscribed for mostly by residents of Hope Valley and vicinity, including Westerly, but was insufficient to equip the road and meet other expenses of construction, and bonds amounting to $50,000 were issued by the corporation. No interest has ever been paid on the stock, as no dividends have been available at any time for that purpose. The interest on the bonds, however, has always been paid heretofore when due. The lack Of earning power of the road is largely due to the falling off in business at Hope Valley since the destruction by fire of the big Nichols S5 Langworthy machine shop, one of the products of which was the Dock engines. The con- dition of the roadbed is bad and has not been considered safe for traffic for some time. Several complaints have been filed within the past year with the railroad commissioners of the road and the cars. and repairs were made, but not sufficient to satisfy those who are obliged to patronize the road ire quently.
 The road has been deteriorating for several years and what the road would bring at forced sale is problematical. The territory Is peculiarly located and under existing conditions is obliged to pay tribute to the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company. The latter railroad, or it's predecessor, was a large subscriber to the stock of the Wood River Branch corporation when the branch road was built, and still holds the stock. In fact, several of the officials of the New Haven road nre directors of the Wood River Branch corporation. Quite a large block of the bonds are said to be held Rs collateral by the First National bank of Hoplrinton.
