probably from long disuse-would
not hold and, before the liveried
servant perched on the lofty carriage
behind had fully perceived the fact
and had recovered himself sufficiently
to think Of his duties. the boy on the
beach had sprung forward.
SLAM it," commanded an irate
voice.
The lad complied, and as he did so,
peered eagerly into the capacious
depths of the vehicle.

governor repeated the words slowly;
an ominous pause was followed by an
abrupt movement on the part OF the
child.

nearly ran over him, and it was my

Partly blinded by the lamps, the lad

seemed to read his inmost thoughts;
a face indistinguishable but compell-

lighted his pipe, moved again to the
fire, and, maintaining a taciturnity
that had become more or less habit
ual, stolidly devoted himself to the
solace of the weed and the compan-
ionship of his own reflections. Once
or twice the boy seemed about to
speak and did not; finally. however,
he leaned forward, a more resolute
light In his sparkling black eyes.

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as to
the Furnishing and Col
oring.

Her brown study was the name
girl gave to a little room she had
made into a snuggery of her own,
where she could read and work and
have cozy chats with her friends 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enliyened
with yellow. This girl did most OF the
work herself, tinting the walls a SOFT
yellow tan, with picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained slightly dark
er shade than the walls, and on it were
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and yell
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self so that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far it was all plain brown, cream
and buff. Now for variety and color
she chose a lowered cretonne with a
design of little yellow roses. With
this she made slip cover for little
low rocker, valance for the top of
her window with side curtains just to
the sill, curtain run on a brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and slip cover for
her lounge. She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror in the yellow rose cretonne, ana
painted a bureau, a small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs in cream
colored paint On the table she placed
her blotter with its dull-brown cor
ners and over the table hung her book
shelves, well filed. Then she felt she
had a room to enjoy.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OFF Coffee.

MANY former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft

and greater endurance by using Post

writes:

years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart l was nervous
and extremely respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
''Then I became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.

from long wanderings to the Vicinity
of the Mount-for no especial reasoh'
save the desire once more to see the
place-had found him. And at the
sight the man frowned.

Desaurac had become somewhat un-

flesh and blood. 1t may be that the

He tried to answer, when hand

cut the air. Drive on, | tell you!
Diable! What are you standing here
for!"
A whip lashed the air and the
horses leaped forward. The back
wheels of the vehicle almost struck
the lad, but, motionless, he continued
staring after it. Farther it drew
away, and, as he remained thus he
discerned, or fancied he discerned, a
girls face at the back-a ribbon that
waved for moment in the moon
light. and then was gone.
Eight years elapsed before next
he saw her.

the forest and making his way with
the same air of resolution across the
sands toward the lowland beyond, his
attention, on a sudden, became Tor

pleted the distance from the place
where he had left the wood to the OBJ

shore, when to the left through the
gloom, a great vehicle, drawn by SIX
horses, could be seen rapidly ap-

The person addressed, fisherman
belated, bending to the burden on MS
shoulders, stopped. and, breathing
hard. looked around and watched the
approaching vehicle intently.

letter to the postoff1ce department in
Washington. has declared that he
does not desire the removal of H. c.

ernor Burke's letter following the pub
lication OF stories to the effect that it

rum. of certain statements antagonis-
tic to Burke that had brought about
the request Of Plumley's resignation.
No Complaint Made.
United States Senator A. ]. Gronna.
now at his home at Lakota stated to-
DAY to The Times, over telephone. that
his Investigations of the Plumley sit
uation in Washington revealed the
fact that no complaint had been made
against the official acts of Postmaster
Plumley, and that the inspectors who
had been sent to Fargo did not re-
port ANYTHING amiss. SO far as Mr..
Plumleys official acts are concerned.
These inspectors, however, forward
ed to the postoff1ce department a num-
ber of copies Of the Fargo Forum of
three and four years ago, in which
Governor Burke had been attacked,
and on which the inspectors based
their claim of "pernicious political ac-
tfvity." although such articles were
published before Mr.. Plumley became

per.
When the postofflce departm ent de-
manded Mr.. Plumley's resignation. the
latter refused to retire.
Burke Writes Department..
The letter from Treasurer Burke
was sent to the postoff1ce department
only few days ago, and in it the
statement is made that che did not
make complaint against Plumley' as
to the publication of the articles in
question.
Senator Gronna believes that the
wholesale removal of postoffice men
! has been abandoned for the time be-
ing. at least Indiscriminate removals
were the order few weeks ago, but
such a storm was raised that the plan
seemingly has been dropped for the

| With reference to the university

only activity in connection there with
this has been the filing of papers
which have been presented to him by
interested parties who are fighting the
confirmation of the appointment Of
