Industrial Casualties.

From a chart which was exhibited
by a leading insurance company of
America at an international exposi-
ton of safety and sanitation, 1t would
follow that there are $4,000 fatal in
dustrial accidents a year in the United
States, and about 100000 injuries.
This inspires a writer on the new
industrialism to say: THE mere pos,
sibility of being able to state in sta
tistics the approximate number of our
industrial casualties is a step in adj
vance, for as late as 1909 it was i'm
possible to estimate with any accu-
racy at all what was the toll we paid
in crushed limbs and snuffed out lives.
Now, at least, we know how vast is
the problem to be solved, how much
needless suffering we inflict and how
much we lose in dollars and cents
because we have hitherto failed to
realize the necessity of guarding men

r VERY little girl has right to play
Il in the water and to learn to swim
and be as much at home in 1t as her
brother is. The adventurous spirit OF
boyhood takes him out with his fell
lows and If water is within reach he
is apt to learn to swim. Girls make
splendid swimmers, and the mere
knowledge that they possess this &C
complishment keeps them from get
ting panicky when joining in the
water sports of their companions.
The most noted swimmer in this
country is Miss Annette Kellerman.
Quite likely there are numbers of
men who swim as well and have as
much endurance. But no one Of them
can do better, and no one of them can
look half as well as this sister to the
mermaids. The exercise develops all
the muscles of the body in the most
uniform manner. The pleasure of
swimming and the tonic OF cool water
are both healthful.

she was looking at us with kind of
gentle defiance in her eyes; and they
were holding each others hands.
"Why. thought you were-I thought
you we're" stammered Doc. Will
Jams, and that was as far as he could
get. He couldn't exactly tell him he
thought he was in prison; and yet the
surprise of Jim's temperance, and
his appearance in Franks company,
made the mayor forget himself.

at him with the blinking gaze of a

And he broke off in a sort of chok-

through his. And then, for once Mayor
Williams did the right thing.

of you-straight up to the house. And
you, of course, Miss Jenny he con-
tinued.
But it was not until the dinner was
over that the mystery was explained,
and it was Frank Stockleigh who
cleared it up.
Friends" he began, and there was
something in his tone which checked
the air of jollity, II am bringing back
to you not only my wife'-here he
bowed toward her-"but also your
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Furber. You prob
ably know the sad circumstances con-
nected with his disappearance. Let
me say that after eight years impris-
onment his innocence has been proved
by the confession of dying man.
By his own desire, Mr.. Furber has
preferred to remain under a stigma
rather than drag the name of the dead
mans relatives into publicity You
cannot give him back those eight
years, but you can take him into your
hearts"
In a moment every man there, and
every woman, TOO, was crOWQlng
around Jim, shaking his hand, and I
think in that moment the memory Of
those eight years fell from his mind
and he became normal man again.
He stood up and tried to speak.
After several attempts he found his
voice.

said 1T was he, gentlemen, who dis
covered what had happened to me and

BACK TO MER!vALE
BY FRANK FiLSoN.

| suppose it is human nature to be
fellow-beings, and that excuses the
interest that everybody in Merivale
took in Jenny Walsh. 1t was not ami
mated by any spirit of unkindness-
but we all wanted to see how Jenny
would take it.
Frank Stockleigh and his bride were
coming back to Merivale.
Jenny had been pretty once. That
was ten years before. She wasn't
much to look at now, though some
charm doesn't last much beyond thlr-
ty-five. At least, I'll qualify that by
relating what our mayor, Doc. Will
Jams, said After thirty-five, he said,
a woman must have matronly charm,
because the girlish charm has grown
stale. That bore out his reputation
as the village wiseacre. And Jenny
was still slim and girlish, but she was
growing into middle-aged woman.
Yet it didn't seem SO long since
Frank had been madly in love with
her. She was a light-hearted girl IN
those days. She had known Frank
since they were children-but she re-
jected him. Nobody exactly knew
why, some thought she was in love
with ne'er-do-well Jim Furber Any
way, Frank Stockleigh went West, and
now he was returning, the owner or
the Montana copper mine and a mil
1ionaire several times over. He had
bought Squire Gray's house, and an
nounced that he and his wife were
coming back to make Merivale their
home.
He and his wife! He had married
a Montana girl, and that was one Of
the things we wanted to know how
Jenny would take. 1t does need

Quail Are the Farmers Aid

The chinch bug costs the farmers Of
the United States at least $100,000,000
a year. Various means for fighting
these bugs have been devised, but
their most successful enemies are the
birds of the air. If the chinch bug is
to be practically eradicated we must
depend upon the efforts of the quail,
as his home is in the brooding grounds
of the chinch bug. Nowadays things
that are done have a certain degree of
the idea of permanency about them,
hence the first steps in the permanent
destruction of the chinch bug is a
more complete protection of the quail

caused by the cotton weevil, the grass
hopper, and the potato bug.-Farm and

FIVE, in not very fiourishing circum-
stances, to look her rejected lover in
the face when he comes home with a
wife and several millions OF dollars
as we'll.
Especially when people thought she
had been in love with Jim Furber,
who was serving ten years sentence
in the penitentiary for stealing fifty
thousand dollars from the bank that
had employed him. Nobody knew for
certain that Jenny had cared for Jim
but anyway, there he was, shut up
behind prison walls for goodish part
if his working life.
Would Jenny go to the train? We
were frankly curious. We wanted to
be there when Jenny met Frank.
There was to be town welcome, and
a spread for the homecomer and his
wife in Doc. Williams house.
Yes, Jenny was going to the station.
The whole of Merivales inhabitants
had gone trooping down, and all the
offices we're closed. You see, 1t isn't
often a millionaire comes to Merivale
to settle down. And we had never
had millionaire before who went out
of the village a penniless youth.
Jenny and Frank-that was the alb
sorbing problem. When we heard she
was going, nothing could have re-
strained us.
It seemed endless, that waiting, but
at last the train steamed in. Frank and
his wife were in the front carriage.
He jumped down like a boy, and
swung a pretty, buxom lady to her
feet, and stood staring at the crowd.
Then he gave whoop and stretched
out his hand to the mayor.
my, but I'm glad to see you!" he
yelled. Don't tell me you're not Pete
Williams-red-headed Pete who used
to go fishing with me? Address OF
welcome? What, Mayor Pete! Mayor?
And Doctor Williams! Catch me,
somebody"
Then he presented Doc to his wife,
and soon we were all thronging round
the couple and giving them the best
welcome in Merivale. And Jenny?
Jenny was blushing like a schoolgirl.
And, before anybody knew what was
happening, Jenny had kissed Frank,
and Frank had kissed her; and Jenny
had kissed Mrs. Frank, and Mrs.
Frank had kissed her too.
We were all so excited about this
that nobody noticed the thin, tired
looking man with the closely cropped
hair who had got out Of the same
coach, and now stood behind Frank
Stockleigh, his eyes roaming restless
Iy about until they lit on Jenny's. But
suddenly Jenny sprang forward, and
IN moment the thin man had her in
his arms, and she was crying upon
his shoulder, and then they began
kissing each other right in front OF
the crowd.
There was q sort of universal gasp
of stupefaction. Frank Stockleigh
cleared his throat-and then he wasn't
looking at the crowd any more, but
only at Jenny Walsh and the tHin
man, who was still hugging her.
The gasp was succeeded by a breath.
less silence. Then Mayor Williams
peered bard into the thin mans face;
and suddenly he cried:
