OUT UNDER THE STARS
After He Had Told Helen Whole
 Truth.
By S. E. RISER.

For three hours Helen Sibley had been waiting at Northport Junction. Luckily the evening was pleasant, so that she was not compelled to sit in the stuffy, dingy little station. There was jul. one pretty thing about North port Junction, and that was Helen. II the train for which she was waiting ever came and ever departed again, Northport Junction would resume it's habit of being about as unlovely spot as one might find within the tem- rerate zone.
 While Helen remained the place would possess one attraction that would have lent distinction 10 far more important and far more splen- did center of activity than the June ton was ever likely to become.
 The operator in the bay window that jutted out into the point of land be- tween the branching tracks evidently had an eye for beauty as well as an ear for Morse. As Helen walked up and down the platform he watched her and became thoughtful. He wonder ed why it was that nature bestowed her gifts so lavishly upon sor1e girls and treated others so shabbily. The beauty that Helen possessed might have made a dozen plain girls fair if 1t had been distributed among them. Such was the operators reasoning The operator at Northport Junction was a philosopher.
 But Helen was not thinking of phil osophy, and if she had noticed that the operator was eagerly watching her the fact neither added to her pleasure nor caused her annoyance. For some reason she was thinking of Tom Aar- low. Perhaps it was because of the loneliness of her surroundings. It was nearly a year since she had re fused to listen when Tom had said that he could explain everything in good time" and for months she had thought that she was never going to have any interest in him again.
 Thinking of Tom naturally caused her to think of Mrs. Danforth, the pret- y, young grass-widow who had come
 etween them. There was something
 ,ysterious about Mrs. Danforth. Peo-

New German Coins.

Tn honor of the celebration next year of the twenty-ffth anniversary of the Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany's s ascension to the throne, new coins, both in gold and silver, will be struck. The coins now in use throughout Ger many bear a likeness of the kaiser as he appeared only year or two after he became emperor, when still a young man, without a trace of the serious lines which his recent Illness has greatly accentuated. The new coins will represent his majesty as he is to- day, in the uniform of cuirassier, and his breast covered with decora- tions Prof. Strum, well known throughout Germany as a maker of medals, will execute the new protrait of Wilhelm II.

 ingenuity.

Across the line on the Kansas side where the study of agriculture is compulsory, one of the high school girls took home her monthly report card and proudly announced:
 q took the highest grade in the class in history, English literature and German
 That's all very we'll" replied her father, critically examining the card, but how about this grade in agricul- ture?"
 "Oh, we'll" explained the daughter, I'm no hayseed!"
 A little farther down department grade, not altogether satisfactory, ap- peared.

pie talked aboAt her, but nobody seem ed to know just why. She had come to Springfield I stranger and she had been careful to leave her past behind her. It had not taken her long to find friends, and she was quickly admitted to the best social circles. With plenty of money, she lived at the most fash ionable hotel, she entertained lavish ly, and her clothes were the talk of the town. Then, one day, she disap- peared, and on the following morning Tom Harlow told Helen that 1t had become necessary for him to go to Chi cago.
 A week later he returned, but sub stantial citizen of Springfield had re- turned before him. The substantial citizen had seen Tom and Mrs Dan- forth together in Chicago. Of course Tom had assured Helen that it was all right, but he had not explained. He had merely promised to do so in good time" And Helen had naturally decided that the good time" could never come. So Tom went away.
 She thought over all this as she i'm patiently waited at Northport June ton. A dozen times she tried to fix her thoughts on other things, but al ways they turned back to the old sub ject. She became angry with herself, at last and more for the purpose of trying to forget Tom Harlow than with the hope of obtaining information she went into the station and asked the operator if it was likely that the train for Medford would arrive on time.
 She's just reported fifty minutes late,' the operator informed her. There's a washout up the road" Helen turned away with feeling of hopelessness and went outside again If Northport had looked dismal to her before, it now seemed desola e. While she was trying to count the appalling number of minutes that she would have to wait, she heard the whistle of an engine away up the curve around the hill on the main line.
 | When the long train stopped at the E Junction Helen saw a man step down from on of the Pullman cars away at the rear. She paid no attention to him, supposing he was a passenger who had merely stepped off to get a breath of fresh air, but after the train had gone on she noticed that the man was walking slowly down the cinder path beside the track toward the sta ton. For moment she gazed at him, and then hurried inside. It was Tom Harlow, carrying a suitcase. Selecting the darkest corner in the station, Helen sat down, turned her back toward the door, and waited, hop 1 ing that no one would come in and fearing something that she could sot have explained. Her corner was so i dark, and she remained so silent that Tom entered without noticing her.

During the progress of the morning bath of a few months old infant lit tie neighbor girl came into the room carrying a doll and stood watching the operation for some time. The lit tie girls doll was much the worse for hard usage, being minus an arm and a leg. Finally she said to the mother of the child:

SUGAR BEET CROP AFAILURE
Entire Racine County Yield of 2OO,'
900 Tons Refused by Factory as
Being Too Poor for Use.

Racine.-Thousand of tons OF
sugar beets in Racine county, con-
tracted for by the GAINESVILLE Sugar
Beet company, will not be accepted
at the mills, growers having received
letters from the company instructing
them not to ship more sugar beets
and stating that the mills would be
closed.
It is estimated that the amount Of
sugar beets now in the country is
about 100000 tons. Last seasons
crop amounted to about $4,000
tons, or double that of any previous
year
The GAINESVILLE company ayers that
the quality of beet grown in this
county last season contains such
small percentage of sugar that the
mill was being operated at an enor-
nous loss.

bear my clothes on. I could not lie
in bed in any position and rest. In
about year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then [ suffered agony

CARLESSNESS A FIRE CAUSE
Wisconsin Investigator Finds 60 Per
Cent. Of ,BIazes Thus Explain
able Smokers Are Hit.

Madison.-That so per cent of the
total number Of fires may be said to
be due to carelessness is the conclu-
sion reached from a perusal of a re-
port made by L. B. Webster, secre-
tary of the Wisconsin legislative
committee for the investigation of
fire insurance conditions on fire
losses of 1910 in forty-four American
cities whose annual reports he has
studied. The approximate annual
loss in these cities, he says, is $40,-
100000, or about one-sixth of the
total annual fire loss Of the United
States and Canada. Incendiarism
contributes but 1.55 per cent of the
total. Mr.. Webster comments on the
recklessness of the average smoker,
which class, the report shows, con-
tributes nearly 4 per cent of the to-
tai number of fires.
