But the young men, one and all, would
rise from the meal or the work. and by
way of no harm stroll on, ON the high
road to get a smile or a nod from Shaun

One Sunday evening, when the sun was

Mysteries of Golf.

%Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, was invited the other day to go
out and play golf.
Il can't play it," said Daniels; Il
made up my mind some time ago not
to go in for golf until they change the
rules"
How do you mean?'
Well, until they change the rules
and make it as good a game as
shiny"
That recalls the tale they tell about
the time Franklin X. Lane, now secre-
tary of the interior, first undertook the
mastery of golf.
Two enthusiasts owe the game lent
a large set of clubs to Lane and they
played a round. When they had
reached the last hole Lane walked
over to the nearest teeing place and
began attempts to drive off with each
club in his sack, one after another.
The games all over" they ex-
planned, gently.
Well" asked Lane, picking up an
other kind of club, cant l play my
hand out?"-New York Sun.

1t was from the fair of knockany that
connor Mcguire was coming the first time
he laid eyes on Mairgread Kelly. Upon
mis- mothers doorstep they met, in the
hour that Is neither daylight nor twilight.
He sat dow without a word. and his
gaze wandered II n itself on the open
door. where his mother and the stranger
girl stood talking.
Above the low voice of the old woman
the SIRENS sweet tones broke meloiiously
upon his ear.
Who Is she?" he asked of Cauth at last.
'She is Shaun Keily's daugliter-the man
from the west who is newly come TO dwell
yonder," She answered him. pointing
through the window to the little white
house among the trees in the hollow.
II saw the man and his wife yesterday"
Conner sad, but the girl never until
now"
Cauth made no answer, but in her heart
she thought, 1T is too soon you have seen
her,"
After a while the girl Went away. and
the old woman came in. saying:
shaun kelly's daughter came over to
tnow if 1T is tomorrow we'd be hay-mak-
a%nt-spoken girl"
Not more pleasant spoken than Ally
Neara, mother" said Cauth.
Conner flushed red at her words. and.
eaving the kitchen. went 10 his bed and
Jlept. All night long he Dreamed of Shaun
Kelly's daughter.
Next day the Maguires began the hay
making, and Mairgread Kelly and her
father came to help, and also came Ally
Meara and her brother Scamus, and a few
boys and girls of the place.
Once Conner went to where Ally Meara
stood among the yellow hay in the angle
Of the meadow. None saw them but one
woman when he kissed her lips. Her dark
eyes shone happily.
81 thought it was forgetting me you
were" she said to him.
II could not forget you" he answered,
and again he kissed her.
Far away across the eadow came a
ripping stream of melody, faint and low
at first, then = torrent of silver sound.
They turned and looked. 1t was Mair-
.rcad Kelly, leaning on her hay fork and
looking at them. From her red lips came
the silvery music. and, as She looked and
whistled. Conner turned slowly from Ally
Meara and walked to where the strange

distance btewcen them. she locke deep
is his eyes, and her laughter rang out.
us it mock me you are?' he said to
her, In shame and anger.
But she laughed on, and turned her pack
upon him.
1t was in that part of the field most of
the young men would wish to be working
that day.
In the far end of the meadow Ally Meare
sat all alone and wept. Tired from weep
ing, n weary from the heat, she fell
asleep at last. and her long brown locks
fell about her like a cloud. She slept on
until twilight, and no one missed her.
AT last she awoke, cold and shivering,
and beside her upon the ground lay her
brown locks in a heap.
"Ah, Holy Mother, help me-" she walled.
ut was an eerie thing for me to sleep
under the air like that. Now / am pun
ished.
She gathered the shining brown mass
into her apron, and Slipped home in the
gray light.
The mother looked at tho shorn head of
her daughter: in her apron she saw the
brown, beautiful hair. She raised her
hands aloft and walled.
Ever and always you used to he too
vcnturesomc," she said. 1T is the women
Ct the Shee who have put that mockery
upon YOU. Well you know they dislike
those who go against their wishes"
But Seamus, her brother. spoke in from
the open door, saying:
1T is not gentle hands, MOTHER, that
were at the cutting of her hair. / saw a
living woman bend over Ally where she sat
sleeping in the meadow, but ! had no
knowledge of what she was at until now"
who was she?" cried the women to-
gather.
That I couldn't say. She was too far off
for to tell that" he answered them.
In his mind he said, It's no good thing a
whistling woman would ever be at, the
world knows"
1t was many a day after that before Ally
crossed her mothers theshold.
Often the garrulous woman would bring
news of Como Mcguire from the village.
1t would be. one day:
Conner is a mean fellow and unmanly.
It is but this minute / saw him come up
the Long Road with Shaun Kelley's

BAD DREAMS
Caused by Coffee.

Il have been a coffee drinker, more
Or less, ever since l can remember, N
til q few months ago l became more
and more nervou and irritable, and
finally l could not sleep at night for I
was horribly disturbed. by dreams Of
all sorts and a species of distressing
nightmare.
Finally, after hearing the expert
ence of numbers of friends who had
quit coffee and were drinking Postum.
and learning Of the great benefits they
had derived, I concluded coffee must
be the cause Of my trouble, SO ! got
some Postum and had it made strictly
according to directions.
Il was astonished at the flavor and
taste. 1t entirely took the place of
coffee, and to my very great satisfac-
ton, l began to sleep peacefully and
sweetly. My nerves improved, and l
wish l could wean every man, woman
and child from the u~nwholesome drug
drink-coffee.
People do not really appreciate or
realize what a powerful drug it is and
what terrible effect 1t has on the hui
man system. If they did, hardly a
pound of coffee would be sold. l would
never think of going back to coffee
again. / would almost as soon think
of putting my hand in a fire after l
had once been burned. Yours for

Postum comes in two forms:

Instant Postum-is a soluble pow

in a cup of hot water and, with cream

"Ah. God forgive nue., God forgive met"

did so Margaret Kelly sped away.
A yard or two away from him something

Terror seized on Connor Mcguire. He
shrieked aloud, and, clasping her to his
