An Assisted Elopement

By DONALD ALLEN

Miss Ruth Russell and Mr.. Charles
Ruth was eleven years old and Mr..
Bennett was two years older when
their fathers quarraled about a ques-
ton Of chemistry or jurisprudence or
something or other, and the boy and
girl used to make up faces at each
other over the line fence.
The professor would not admit that
under any circumstances could he be
wrong. He had gone over the ques-
ton. whatever it was, a hundred times
and he could not find any flaw in 1t
on which to base change Of opinion.
He must. therefore, consider Judge
Bennett bigoted ass and drop his
acquaintance.
Judge Bennett hadn't had to turn
the question over in his mind. He
knew he was right from the start, and
he knew the professor was wrong. On
most any other question he would
have given up, but on this-never!
There was no open hostility. 1t
was simply understood that the prin-
clpals and their families avoid each
other altogether, and that the Ben
nett goat and the Russell dog should
not cross the line between the two
estates, When the gentlemen met
ghere were two cold and distant bows

It's only natural philosophy that a
girl of eleven and a boy of thirteen

that date. and yet at nineteen and

The one advantage, that OF rapid

to plant. Innumerable insects, fun

frequent pruning, besides brief Pc

the tree of your choice, and it should
be discarded.
Where there is slight opportunity
for frequent watering, tree species
demanding large quantities of water
should be discarded. They will be dis

The top of a tree should not be
mutilated. Cutting off the leading
