That evening, the four or them
walked together over to the cabin of
the Widow Miller. At the stile, AID
rienne Lescott turned to the girl and
said:

he told her.
Don't wait, DEAR" she suddenly ex
claimed, turning toward him. and
raising eyes that held his answer,
Ask me now!"
But the question which he asked was
one that his lips smothered as he
pressed them against her own.
Back where the poplar threw its
sooty shadow on the road, two figures
sat close together on the top of a
stile. talking happily in whispers. A
girl raised her face. and the moon
shone ON the deepness of her eyes. as
her lips curved in a trembling smile

For moment. she only nodded; but

it was a face that smiled with the

of troubled dream.

added whimsically-"will be to make

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON
Iieve the World VIII Give
Up Sleep.

Mr.. Edison says sleep is bad habit,
and that we shall some day get over
it. Like drinking and smoking, it is
to be among those things which we
shall try in time to give up on the first
of the year. He says people called him
crazy when he said electricity would
supplant all other motive power in
transportation. and one therefore hesi-
tates to say that he is crazy about
anything. However, we will hazard a
guess that if he is off his box any
where, 1t Is with respect to the pleas
ant custom of indulging ourselves in a
good sound snooze. How else we are
to refresh ourselves from the days
work we cannot imagine. The trouble
with this objection, as 1t applies to
Mr.. Edison, is that he doesn't think we
are wearied by the days work. He
and some of his associates worked at
something for given period of time
Fl hours a day, and they all gained
weight! He leads us to infer that 1t is
what we do when we are not working
that wearies us. Thinking over it
briefly, we believe there is something
in that Probably half the things we
do in our leisure time is very hard

man is only tired when his wife wants
him to go out somewhere after din

of what Mr.. Edison means when we

Made Point for Defense.

or Sir Thomas Egerton, who was
gifted with quick perception, this story
is told; "A poor woman had been In
trusted with the care of large sum
of money by three farmers, who told
her to keep 1t safely until they APP
peared together to claim 1t. Shortly
afterward one of them went to her
and, representing that he came at the
direction of the other two, he received
the money and forthwith disappeared.
The other two brought action to re-
cover the whole deposit. Egerton hap
pened to be in court during the trial.
In which an intimate friend defended
the woman. Seeing that the case was
going against his friend, Egerton vol
unteered to speak as amicus curiae.
Permission was granted. Emphasiz-
ing the condition on which the money
was left In the woman's care, Eyer
ton said: ut is clear that the plain
tiffs cannot recover, because 1t is to
the three appearing together that the
defendant agreed to deliver the money.
Where Is the third? Let him be pro-
duced" Thus Egerton saved the day
for his friend

QUEER USE OF GRAMoPHoNE
That instrument Is Not Designed
Merely for Amusement Has
Been Proved

The gramophone is sometimes put
to strange uses. The leader of an AT

on motor trip from the Cape to Cairo,
recently used 1t as a decoy for tigers
and hippopotami. In tiger hunting it.
is usual to tether lamb to a tree;
Its bleatings attract the tiger within
reach of the hunters. Before leav-.
ing England. the explorer had some
records made by bleating lambs. and,
says writer in Answers, he tried
them on the unsuspecting tigers of the
African jungle with considerable sue
cess.
The record makers gained one of
their greatest triumphs when they sue
ceeded in getting good nightingale
and blackbird records. The chief diff
ficulty was the objection that the
birds had to the sounds of the re-
cording machine. The clever men got
round that by setting up a dummy
recording machine. In the horn OF
which they put some Of the birds ia
vorite food.
When a bird entered the horn to
get the food the clockwork was set
in motion. The little creatures soon
grew accustomed to the sound, and
so, after much tedious and discourY
, aging labor, successful records were
made. These records are selling in
thousands all over the world.
The gramophone is also of service
in more serious and more scientific
undertakings Records of all dialects
and languages spoken in Great Britain
have been made and preserved in the
British museum for the benefit of
posterity. The people of the thir-
tieth century will know by the help
of these records just how Manx and
Gaelic sounded. and how the cockney
lingo differs from braid Scots" Sew
eral of the universities also have col
lections OF the same kind.-Youth's

Inspect Your Milk Bottles.

Recently there came to our notice a
milk bottle passing as a pint container
which when measured was found to
contain just two-thirds of a pint.
There was no mark about it to indicate
it's size and until compared with a
standard pint bottle, from its appear
ance would easily pass for pint Two
third pints and two-third quarts are
recognized as standard milk bottles in
two or three states and are manufac-
tured for such states; but may OF course
be bought by any milk dealer, and
when there is no inspection to detect
such frauds, can be used. Milk bot
ties are usually bought by the dozen or
gross. If there is one such bottle cir
culating in Hays there may be more.
A bottle that does not have it's size
clearly indicated should be looked upon
with suspicion. Whoever paid four
cents for the bottle Of milk in question
was actually paying six cents per pint
for milk. Or should it have contained
cream az Is cents the housewife paid
at the rate of 221S ct. per pint for her
cream. Should the dealer using such
bottles be further increasing his prof
