Bob looked at Gwendoline. Some
day. Miss Gerald, you may realize you

innocent man."
She doesn't care" said the tenn
peramental little thing vehemently.
.'Shes got stone for heart" Only
that cryptic smile on the proud beau
tiful lips answered this outbreak. The
jolly little pal went right over to her
again Anyhow she said, "he kissed
me-"
Just for an instant Miss Geralds
sweeping lashes lifted to Bob. Just
for an instant, too, Miss Gerald,s
white teeth buried themselves in that
proud red upper lip. Miss Dolly turn

That young lady didn't answer. Wont

There was a CLEAN of great pleasure
in the hammer throWer's eyes now.
Bob had involuntarily put out his hand
but Miss Gerald would not see it. In
deed, she turned farther from him,
as if ANNOYED by Bob's persistence.
Pob's hand fell to his side, he drew
himself up.

the monocle man.

A moment Bob,s eyes cleaned dan

the presence of Miss Gerald's other

Miss Dolly looked at the composed

"He kisses beautifully" she breathed.

Isabel drowsed away into light slum,
Der. She dreamed that she was the
sleeping beauty of the old fairy tale
and that the prince kissed her. She
awoke with start, her hand on her
cheek, her heart beating unanimously.
How real it had been
She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Almost Immediately she awoke to the
low rumble of thunder. The sky had
darkened and from the northwest
black clouds had piled to the zenith,
|obscuring the sun. The air was heavy
with portent of the coming storm and
birds flew to cover. uttering sharp, un-
easy cries.
Isabel sprang to the ground and
pushed back the locks from her hot
cheeks. What should she do? There
was no shelter on the island and she
was afraid of thunderstorms
Where was DunstOn? He might
have been miles away with her father
and, although recognizing the APP
preaching storm, he might not have
time to reach the island
She felt a vague resentment that he
had not remembered her there alone
on the island Not the displeasure of
the mistress for a neglectful servant,
but woman's jealously because she
had been forgotten by one whose re-
gard she valued
There was a flash of lightning, and
then another long roll of thunder. With
her hands on her quivering throat, Isa-
bel looked down and saw Dunston's
form On the little landing. He was
bending over the canoe. His head was
bare and his white shirt was wet with
perspiration. He had evidently hurried
to rescue her, and yet he seemed to be
in no great haste now And the storm
was almost ready to burst oyer their
heads.
Suddenly he turned and came up the
path.
ooh, Dunston," she quavered, "do
you think it's going to be a very bad
Storm"
"Oh, no, Miss Ortiz" he said cheer
fully, although his eyes evaded hers.
1--WE saw it coming up and so / came
after you. The wind is east and the
storm is shifting to the southwest. See
it is quite clear overhead now"
1T isl agreed Isabel. Then, with a

He Redeemed. 1t was the first time
she had ever called him that. The
golden sparks came into his eyes as
they fell on her lovely flushed face,
with it's new look of shyness that was
quite adorable.
81 could never forget you,' he said
grimly. Il wish to heaven | could"
There was long, palpitating silence.
Isabel's proud head dropped before
his bold gaze.
81 hope you you - never will, Mr..
Dunston." she whispered.
He sprang to her side. just what
do you mean by that?'' he demanded
fercely.
Isabel lifted her eyes for an instant
before. the thick lashes yelled them.
Dunston regarded her dfzzily, his
hands clenched.
do you remember that l am only a
guide?' he asked sharply.
She nodded. you are man - such
as have never before known
.'You know nothing about me you
Isabel, l love you. Will you marry
me?"

desserts which were intended. We
will now proceed to the less impor.
tant desserts.
AS long as the subject is under
consideration it might be we'll to add
here that the remark has been made,
not once but many times by people
who should know, that ice cream is
a ''rara avis on the farm.
Why should it be?
In Wisconsin with all its lakes
and streams there are few farms
that are not near enough water to
provide ice for the summer season.
This means work, but in the winter
when work is lighter, most men are
glad to provide this luxury which
city people find Indispensable
AS ice cream season comes in the
busy time of the year, when it is
not convenient for the men of the
family to turn the freezer the nice
arrangement is to connect it to the
tor or the feed grinder and in a few
moments the most popular and de-
l1ghtful dessert of all is ready to
pack and ripen for dinner.
The ice cream which is perhaps
the best liked is one made of a rich
custard to which cream is added
when it is cold and ready to freeze.
The simplest of all frozen cream, is
sWeetened and Favored cream, froz-
en- without any previous cooking.
However, it does not stand firm as
long as the cooked custard ice
cream. With a good supply of ice
and a good freezer one may feel
perfectly safe to provide the best
kinds of leafs" for any number of
ones friends who alight on them

CARE MUST BE TAKEN
TO PREVENT RABIES

Madison, Wis, July 20-"The sum
mer time, when cats and dogs stray
at large, usually shows an increase
in cases of rabies.

until characteristic symptoms show
themselves it is fatal. No one ever

vided in the State Hygienic labora-
tory, connected with the University
Of Wisconsin, place where diagnosis
may be made, to be followed by pre-
tentative measures. This should be
taken advantage Of in all suspected
cases"
This is the statement of DR.. W..
D. Stovall, chief of the laboratory.
Rabies, or hydrophobia," said DR.,
Stovall, ''is an acute, rapidly fatal
infection, always communicated by
an animal to the victim. The infoc-
ton usually takes place after a
bite. There is no hope for the suf-
ferer after the symptoms have made
their appearance. The end is death.
toms ITSELF for the saliva may be
infectious before the symptoms de-
velop.
"FolloWing the bite, the wound
may heal up, as if the animal were
not rabid. But in a period varying
from a few weeks to eight months,
there may come a burning sensation
over the area of the wound. From
this point the virus travels to the
spinal cord and the brain. The pa
tient has commissions, cannot swal-
low, has what is commonly known
as 'lockjaW,' and finally succumbs.
That rabies is confined to the
summer months, is an erroneous as
sumption. Epidemics are quite as
frequent in the winter, and the dis
ease seems to be more virulent at
that time
More cats and dogs stray abroad
in the summer however, which may
cause an Increase in the number of
cases in the warm months.

=" It's the dessert that graces all the
feast,
For an i'll end disparages all the
rest"
In much of the literature of the
day, written upon farm conditions,
we are enlightened by the statement
that the average farmer neither
wants nor appreciates the comforts
of life and all he thinks of is "rais-
ing more corn to feed more hogs"
There never was a. more undeserv-
ing defamation. Farmers, men and
women, have ideals quite like peo-
pie who live in towns and most Of
them are more than anxious that
their children have every advantage
in life and are using their means
wisely to that end. They appreciate
that there is no bank account equal
to a good education (not entirely of
bOOks) to add to the resources of
ones life. If these literary people
who write things about the farmer
could get out from behind their
desks long enough to really touch
the horny hand, of the sons of toll
there would be an agreeable change
in their writings, and they would
have an opportunity to inform them
selves upon real conditions. These
at long range, are getting
tiresome. Perspective is all right,
but too much binds us to the things
near at hand.
