QUEER THING Is THE TURTLE
Scotch Naturalist Of Wide Repute De-
cIares 1t Is Neither Fish. Flesh
Nor Fowl.

According to Macdonald, a Scotch
naturalist of wide repute, the turtle is
the strangest of all living things and
the most unfathomable. He can live
in the water as well as out of it and
can seemingly go for indefinite lengths
of time without air or food or light.
He is neither fish nor flesh nor fowl,
and yet he has the characteristics of
all three. AS for his eating, It seems
quite superfluous, for he can remain
shut up in barrel for number OF
weeks and emerge at the end of the
time apparently none the worse for
the lack of food and light and air.
The baby turtle seems also just as
indifferent to its surroundings as its
parents are. As soon as it comes
forth from its egg it scuttles OFF TO the
sea II has no one to teach or guide
IT. In its brain seems implanted the
idea that until its armor becomes hard
It has no defense against hungry fish.
And so it seeks shelter in gulf weed
and feeds unmolested until it's armor
gets hard.
Nv the time that 1t weighs 70
mounds. which occurs the first year. II
knows that it is far from all danger,
Cor after that no fish. however hungry

CHAPTER XIV.
In Sure-Enouah Country.

One morning, more than month
after the closing days of school, Alb
bott Ashton CHANGED to look from his
BEDROOM window as Hamilton Greg
ory's buggy, with Fran in it, passed.
Long fishing-poles projected from the
back of the buggy.
By Fran's side, Abbott discovered a
man. True it was only" Simon JEFF
ferson; still, for all his fifty years
and his weak heart, it was not as If
it were some pleasant. respectable
woman-say Simon's mother. How
ever, old ladies do not sit upon creek
banks.
The thought of sitting upon the bank
of stream suggested TO Abbott that
it would be agreeable to pursue his
studies in the open air. He snatched
up some books and went below
On the green veranda he paused to
inhale the fragrance of the roses, I'm

glad you've left your ROOM" said Miss
Sapphire, all innocence, all kindness.
You'll study yourself to death. 1t
won't make any more of life to take it
hard-there's just SO much for every
man"
Huge and serious Miss Sapphire sat
in the shadow Of the bay-window
Against the wall were arranged
sturdy ound-backed wooden chairs,
each of which could have received the
landlady's person without a culver Of
spindle. Everything about Abbott
seemed too carefully ordered-he
pinned for the wholesome messy
bank sloping to purling stream.
Suddenly Miss Sapphire grew pom
derously significant. Her massive head
trembled from a weight of meaning
not to be lifted lightly in mere words,
her double chins consolidated, and her
mouth became as the granite door of
cave sealed against the too-curious.
Abbott paused uneasily before his
meditated flight-"Have you heard any
news?"
She answered almost tragically,

CLOUDED BRAIN
Clears Up on Change to Proper Food

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, if the food taken il
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to ferment and form
poisonous gases, etc. A duh, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experience
in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"a steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
80 on, finally broke down stomach
and nerves that, by inheritance, were
sound and strong, and medicine did
no apparent good in the way Of relief
my brain was clouded and dull and

patton that defied all remedies used.

he was in no dewy-morning mood He
understood what those wise mods had
meant and he was in no frame of
mind for such wisdom. He meant to
go far, far away from the boarding
house, from the environment of
schools and hool-boards, from Little
burg with its atmosphere of ridiculous
gossip.
Of course he could have gone just
as far, if he had not chosen the direc-
ton of Blubb's Riffie-but he had to
take some direction. He halted before
he came in sight of the stream; IL
Fran had a mind to fish with Simon
Jefferson, he would not spoil her sport.
He found comfortable log where
he might study under the gracious
sky. He did not learn much-there
seemed bird in every line.
When he closed his books, scarcely
knowing why, and decided to ramble.
Fran. Miss Sapphire might have
guessed what would happen, but in
perfect innocence, the young man
strolled, seeking a grassy by-road. sell
dom used, redolent of brush, tree, vine,
dust-laden weed. 1t was road where
the sun seemed almost a stranger; a
road gone to sleep and dreaming of
the feet of stealthy Indians, Of noisy
settlers, and skillful trappers. All
such fretful bits Of life had the old
road drained into oblivion. and now it
seemed to call on Abbott to share
their fate, the fate Of The forgotten
But the road lost its mystic mean
ing when Abbott discovered Fran.
Suddenly it became only a roadway.
it became nothing. 1t seemed that the
sight Of Fran always made wreckage
of the world about her.
She was sitting in the Gregory bug
gy, but, most surprising of all, there
was no horse between the shafts--no
horse was to be seen, anywhere. Best
of all, no Simon Jefferson was visible.
Fran in the buggy-that was all. Slow
travelling, indeed, even for this sleepy
cid road
Not in hurry, are yOu?"
1--WE arrived" Fran said, in un-
friendly tone.
Are you tired of fishing, Franz"
Eyes, and of being fished."
She had closed the door in his face,
but he said-as through the keyhole-
''Does that mean for me to go away?"
"You are pretty good friend. Mr..
Ashton" she said with curl Of her
lip, 81 mean-when we are alone"

Exactly as I'm looking at you, that's
the way l feel. Stand there as long

the spring term; only those ION the
inside" knew that the fateful board
meeting had been delayed week after
week because of disagreement over
the superintendency. There was so
much dissatisfaction over Abbott Ash
ton-because of $50 much talk"-that
even Robert Clinton had thought it
best to wait, that the young man
might virtually be put upon good be-
havior.
Tonight" the young man repeated
with a, thrill. He realized how impor-
tant this meeting would prove in shap-
ing his future.
YES" she said warningly. "And
Bob is determined to do his duty. He
never went very far in his own educa-
ton because he didn't expect to be a
school-teacher-but ever since he's
been chairman of the school-board.
he's aimed to have the best teachers,
so the children can be taught right;
most of 'em are poor and may want
to teach, too, when they're grown.

! night, Abbott, and I've been glad to
notice that for the last month, there's
been less talk. And by the way" she
added. chat Fren-girl went by with
Simon Jefferson just now, the two of
them in Brother Gregory's buggy
They're going to Blubb's Riffie-he
with his weak heart, and her with that
SLY smile of hers, and it's full three
m;le!"
Abbott did not volunteer that he had
seen them pass. but his face showed
| the ostensible integrity of jam-thief,
who for once finds himself innocent
when missing jam is mentioned.
She was not convinced by his look
of guilelessness. "You seem to be
carrying away your books"

a choked cough, and compressed her

him sidewise, please step to the tele-
phone, and call up Bob-he's at the
store Tell him to leave the clerk in
charge and hitch up and take me for

Abbott obeyed with alacrity. On his
return, Miss Sapphire said, 'Bob's 60

ing, Abbott Well do what we can,
and hope you'll help yourself"
AS Abbott went down the fragrant
street with its cool hose-refreshed
pavements. its dangerous shadows
athwart rose-bush and picket fence, its
hopeful weeds already peering through
crevices where plank sidewalks main
sained their worm-eaten right Of way.

Why She Was Quitting.

A famous Ohio humorist says that a
new rich family in Cleveland, who
were beginning to put on lot OF airs,
hired colored girl just arrived from
the south to act as their serving-maid
Her new mistress insisted that all
meals should be served in courses.
Even when there wasn't much to eat
it was brought to the table in courses
At the end of a week the girl threw
up her job. Being pressed for rea-
son for quitting so suddenly, she said:
I'll tell you, lady. In dis yere
house dere's too much shiftin' OF de
dishes fur de fewness of de vittles.
