HER CAST-OFF BEAU
by GEORGE c. HAMILTON.

Il guess that good-for-nothing Wal
ter Jameson will be coming home
soon, now that the old man has cashed
in." was the gossips' verdict in Hicks
Vile.
And when, few weeks later, Wal
ter did arrive from the West, to take
care OF his widowed mother, the gos-
sips winked and nodded to one an
other as much as to say. Il told you
SO"
Walter had been the unsuccessful
one Of the family. His sister married
a rich lawyer In New York; his elder
brother was a successful lawyer in the
same city. But Walter had never sue
ceeded. At last his father had bought
him a ticket TO Nevada-it was in the
days of the gold boom-and told him
not to let him see his face again
Walter did not feel any particular
regret at leaving a father who had
never shown him any affection. But
his mother had cried, and that made
him feel badly-also leaving Nancy
Dayton. They had been sweethearts
once. But that was when they were
twenty-one-before Walter had shown
himself a ne'er-do-well.
Nobody had believed in him, and
Nancy least of all. She grew up to
be a hirt. When he told her he loved
her-the second time he came home
penniless- laughed in his face.
I'll win you yet. Nancy" he an
swered, and went away
Yes, there was one person besides
his mother who believed in Walter
but be did not know it. That was
Elizabeth. Nancy's little sister. She
had all the faith that a child has in
one whom she instinctively recognizes
to be misjudged. But a man in love
with a young woman of twenty-three
pays scant attention to her sister of
fifteen.
And now Walter was back. And, to
his mother, he was still the boy who
was going to make so much of his
life, though he was almost thirty. He
had been gone six years that time.

largely accounts for the fact that it is
so little known. Wenatchee Is the
nearest railway station, and fraTs
there one must go some forty Snles
up the Columbia, either on one of the
stern-wheel steamers which carry pas
sengers and freight up and down that
river, or in an automobile. The
steamer trip is rather slow but de-
cidedly interesting. Several times
the vessel must be pulled through rap
ids by means Of cable anchored to
the shore, and the stops are frequent
wherever, indeed, white rag on a
stick is discerned on the bank. Your
landing is made at Chelan Falls, an in
consequential hamlet, and there you
take seat in a four-horse coach. 1t

which it really does on occasion, but

road over the hills, skirting tremen-

Chelan, progressive little city, lies
at the south end of the lake, and the
peacefully beautiful scenery gives you

The property valuation o. the protect

The fundamental idea of the dry.

100000 cubic feet of water fell over
the Miami basin above Dayton during
the tive-day storm of March, 1913. A
system of six or seven dams has been
planned with a sufficient capacity TO
hold back 10000, 100000 cubic feet.
These dams will be built Of earth, will
be from 40 to 20 feet high, and will
be placed across the valley from hill to
hill in suitable locations. Reinforced
concrete tunnels, large enough to al
low the normal flow of the river to
pass through, will be placed through
the bottom of each dam. These tun.

when the water coming in from the
upstream side of the dam exceeds the
normal flow of the river, the excess
will be held back by the dam. When
the supply is reduced the reservoir
will empty automatically. To prevent
the destruction of the dams in case Of
unprecedented floods, each will be pro-
vIded with q spillway to relieve the
dam of some of the surplus. The car
rying capacity Of the river channel is
estimated az S,00O,O0O,OOO cubic feet
per day, SO that the system will afford
ample protection during a heavier
storm than last year An expert has
estimated that approximately 280,0OO,-
0000 cubic feet of water, or enough
to have raised Lake Erie with its TO-.

fell in Ohio and Indiana during this

Hopkinton, Iowa.-Recently Gerald
O'Connell, three-year-old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John O'ConneIl of Hillside, a
suburb of Worthington, Iowa, was
spanked for persisting in desiring to
accompany his father to town. In
anger the little fellow muttered that
he would run away, but no heed was
given to his complaints.
A few hours later, however, it was
discovered the child was missing and
diligent search failed to locate him.
The alarm was given and neighbors
were called in to assist.
The search continued three days,
the little fellow being found over three
miles from home, apparently little the
worse for his stay of three days and
two nights in the woods The country
over which he had strayed was rough
and hilly, and how he lived through
these three days and two nights with
out food and shelter, and withstood a
rain that fell is the wonder Of the
neighborhood. When discovered Ger
aid still maintained his attitude of
independence and resentment.

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cof-
fee is used in large quantities. many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. ]. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee
She says:
"My son was for years troubled with
his eyes He tried several kinds OF
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
"He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
II was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous l could
hardly sit still long enough to eat
meal. My heart was In such con.
-dition l thought I might die at any
time
Medicine did not give me relief
and l was almost desperate. 1t was
about this time we decided to quit cof
fee and use Postum, and have used it
ever since. / am in perfect health
No trouble now with my heart and

NEEDLESS WASTING OF TIME
Man Who HeedlessIy Interrupts Busy
Worker May Properly Be
Termed a Thief.

There are In this great world Of
peculiar contradictions many men who
would never filch another mans prop
erty, but have no moral scruples
against stealing his time.
To the busy worker time Is valu-
able commodity, minutes are reck-
oned in terms Of dollars and cents.
Needless interruption of their work
therefore steals from them dollars and
cents
Who steals another mans time, by
lounging around and engaging him
in conversation foreign to the work
in hand-often foreign to any work
that concerns either of them-is self
branded as more than time thief"
He ia stamped as man whose own
time is without value; a drone who
has come idly buzzing into hive Of
workers.

the fellow workers, but from his en-
ployer as well. That time Is being
paid for by his employer.
Furthermore he is stealing from his
fellow workers a measurable amount
of their efficiency by hampering them
in turning out their work.
And it reacts upon himself. His
employer, observing, says: This
young man not only frivols instead Of
trying to keep busy. but interferes
with the work Of others. l cannot af-
ford to keep him in my employ. He is
stealing from me-doubly stealing!"

those whose time he steals, but mere
