LOST BOUNDARY LINES
BY r. Q. CAMP.

On one side of the barbed-wire fence
stood Colonel Bickford. his fine face
crimson with anger. seeing not the
slightest humor in the situation.
Half way through the strands OF
barbed wire, which caught the shout
ders Of her best lavender dimity gown,
was Miss Rebecca Dobson, his next
door neighbor. Her delicate, faded
face was quite pink with embarrass'
ment.
Upon my soul, madam!" ragged the
colonel testify, this Ii too much"
IF you were q gentleman you'd ex-
trieate me from this wretched fence
which you have had the impudence to
erect on my property" was Rebecca's
acid retort. Then, with q wrench Of
her shoulders and her imprisoned
knees, Miss DobsOn fell back entirely
free from the barbed wire.
"A gentleman, indeed!" clustered
the colonel, when he was left alone.
How was I to know that q meddling
old maid would 90 racing over my
property hunting for a lost guinea
hen? Her land. Ell! thought the
courts Of sufrern county decided
where the boundary lines were!"
The colonel clustered into his lone
ly house, where he sat down to 4
lonely meal in the great dining room.
He had never made . woman cry In
his life-unless his wrangle over the
boundary line had caused Rebecca to
shed tears. He never believed 1t had;
she was too plucky for that.
She had never cried, either, when
they had Quarreled. long years before
he wouldn't believe Il; their en-
Eagement had been short and sharp
and soon ended. And now the colonel
had come home to spend the quiet
life Of q country gentleman, and his
first Bklrmish had been q dispute over
the boundary line between the two
estates. The colonel had conquered
and II was by his orders that the old
meadow fence had been torn down
and replaced with one Of barbed wire
70 include twelve feet Of land that the
Dobsons had always claimed.
BY this time the colonel was down
IN the dew-drenehed rose garden.

But the garden was already ten
anted.
Standing before q great bush OF
pink roses, his hands grasping the
thorny stems and crushing the masses
Of pink blooms against his cheeks. was
Peter Ford.
She went close up to him. and still
he did not turn to greet her.
Timidly she touched his arm.
Peter" she whispered.
He turned q haggard face and
looked down at her from burning
eyes.
"well?" he demanded. almost
harshly.
Il suppose-you think I'm awfully
silly" she stammered; "a perfect
idiot"
You know / never could think any
thing like that about YOU" he said.
Il mean silly when talking about
castles and ideal lovers and every
thing. was hopelessly silly, ! know"
mo, you are not that" he said,
slowly, but you are young and beau
tiful, Dorothy, and who could blame
you for desiring q mate to match
your own loneliness? Not II"
1T couldn't make any difference to
you, anyway, Peter" half whispered
Dorothy, turning her face away from
him. You wouldn't want to live in
my castle"
Not with that paragon Of perfec-
ton you described"
IL wouldn't either!" cried Doro-
thy, with astonishing Inconsistency.
I'D be bored to DEATH"
But you said you described your
IDEAL" protested Peter lamely.
"But-but," admitted Dorothy. tear
fully, that description was the exact
opposite Of my ideal. There! You've
made me say It, Peter Ford!"
Say what?" he demanded, grasp
ing her hands and looking into her
dropping face. Are you playing with
me, Dorothy?"
Il couldn't play-when-lt means 30
much to me-" she confessed, with
sweet humility.
There was an eloquent hush In the
rose garden.
Susan, waiting on the terrace for
her sister. spied Dorothy comiAg
across the lawn with Peter Ford
They were hand In hand like two
happy children. They paused at the
fish pend and Susan saw them bend.

A big black form was busy there,
muttering brokenly, while long HALL
like arms moved to and fro. There
was the clink OF some tool against
the whanging wire and the Z-z-z-zip'

When the last post was out and
the boundary fence had entirely dis
appeared. Colonel Bickford stepped
across the space and entered the little
lane that went up to Rebecca's cot

and watched him.

Colonel Blckford found Rebecca Dob

stood at the foot Of the steps, Q tall.

"Sukey has torn down the boundary

New Fire System Installed

Manager Abel of the local telephone
system is patiently waiting for fire
somewhere in Morris. He wants to
"throW the scare" into the boys of
the fire department and he has new
scheme for dong the job systematic
cally.
A new rotary fire alarm has been
installed at the telephone central to
be used in case of fire. 1t is a cir
cular devise attached to the switch
board connecting thirty-siX phones and
on which the phones of every fireman
is located. When a fire alarm is turned
in the machine is set in motion by
pressing a button and the result is
five sharp rings at the other end
After the fifth ring the operator will
convey oral intelligence regarding the
fire. Less than one minute is required
for the notification of every fireman
and for giving full instructions. When
they reach the fire station much time
may be saved in reaching the scene of
the fire and beginning work.
The alarm was purchased and in
stalled by the volunteer fire depart
ment and is the very last word in
Mechanical devises of this kind. 1t
represents an outlay of $500 and was
purchased at the suggestion of Fire
Chief Trantow who takes more than
an ordinary interest in the welfare of
the fire boys and the fire protection
Cor Morris. The alarm has been tried
out couple of times and works to
the satisfaction of the fire department.
This week a bell and large colored
light was mounted in the square at the
Kruger drug 81 ore which will be used
in connection with police head quart
ers. Whenever it becomes necessary
to summon the guardians of peace a
person may notify the telephone CEN
trail who presses button connecting
the bell and light.

Northcott was Right

Five weeks ago when the ground
hog was popularity supposed to have
emerged from his winter quarters for
a peep at the outside world weather
prophets got busy and predicted a
severe spell Of cold weather. Among
those in Morris who disagreed with
the traditions and forecasts of the
grounding was Comrade Northcott who
believes long observation is better
than the grounding. Nurthcott pre-
dicted a prolonged warm spell and his
forecast five weeks ago made on his
birthday proved correct.
According to Weather Observers
Purcell at Minneapolis and Wheaton
in this city the month of February was
the warmest February for a period OF
twenty three years. February 6 was
the coolest day and the 10Th was the
warmest. ID
Local weather observers are divided
in their opinions regarding the coming
of March. Some onf them say it came
in like lion while others are classi

prevails generally and much disagree.

remainder OF the month.

Tn 1897 he served under Rear Admiral Rawson in the Theseus expedition against Benin, in West Africa where a British scien- life expedition had been massaered- The King of Benin was taught a use fs1I lesson and Garden received the General African Medal. He reached the rank sof captain in 1899, and in 1903 he was made rear admiral
 While holding that rank he served

In September he hofsted his vice ad- rrliral's flag in the Indefatigable and proceeded to the Reinforcement, where he assumed command Of the allied British and French fleet. The operations against the Dardan elleS, w1lic hbegan in a tentative way in November, were under Vice Admiral Gardens direction until illness neces- sdtafed his retirement last month. It was reported that he had been Killed during the bombardment Of the Tur- kisEa forts, but this was officially de- nied by the British admiralty
