company about our mortgage. They
don't want the interest this time.

Donothy's pretty face was sober.
Don't you see how it is, Aunt Polly?
It's as clear as day. Mr.. Wakefield

came the day when Big Kalmuck, the
foreman over in the gray iron division
tumbled over with the heat and when
he came to attacked the doctor.
There was no one in the hospital
cottage when it happened but the
nurse and a couple of patients, but
somehow cone soaked in chloroform
was pressed over Kalmuck's nose
from behind and he dropped in a
quiet, innocent heap at the doctors
feet
By the time Nelson answered Miss
Halls phone call the doctor had
slipped down beside him, protesting
that he was not hurt. but Kalmuck' s
knife still remained neatly plugged
between his ribs and he became a pa
tient at the cottage under the COM
pany's care.
It was the end of the first week and
Nelson was saying good night. The
door into the little side room was ajar,
but the doctor had been sleeping, and
she stepped out for a glass Of fresh
water. There Nelson held her hands
in his, and the glass was forgotten
while he told her all she had been to
him ever since she had first come.
And the tears came into her eyes as
she listened to the boy.

be you. but it isn't. You're everything
that a man should be to win a girl.
but that cross, self-opinionated, fault
finding, irritable creature yonder"-
she brought out each word between
her teeth, and each one had a nod
like best, and heaven only knows why
After Nelson had gone she stepped
back into the room, and the doctors
eyes were open watching her.
Il heard every word you said," he
told her, bit brusquely. You should
not have refused Nelson. He's a fine
fellow and will inherit money"
ITS time for your powder" she an
swered with professional Indifference
Il prefer a brunette" the doctor
went on thoughtfully, but with twin
kle in his eyes.

Louise, coolly You can still rebel"
"Confound it, don't you know" ex-

his pillow under his head, that I'm

reached for her crisp white apron and

James Keir Harde, the British labor

never relinquished his working-class

when his rough attire led to mistakes
on the part of others. One story is
that Kerr Hardie, then many years an

outside the house of commons. The

But the real greatness Of black
berry 10 in the eating it fresh from
the bush. 1t does not need sugar and
cream. 1t does not need anything but
a thumb and finger and a mouth. The
mushy ones that grow big in the shade
may be improved by doctoring, but the
firm ones of moderate size that grow
in the open fields are not susceptible
of improvement by human art. We
knew a man, raised in the country in
middle Tennessee, who came back
from Oklahoma in his old age just to
fill himself once more with blackber-
ries as they grow, says Nashville Ten
nesseean. Nobody who knows what
real blackberries are would think him
foolish. A man might almost come
back from paradise for a feast like
that.

Now 1t is announced that Germany
has produced an aeroplane which is
invisible above an altitude of 5000
Feet Hereafter those who engage in
so-called "aerial warfare" will be
spared the humiliation of having their
failures known to terranean scoffers
underneath them. Thus, while the fu-
tility of aerial raids may. not be les
sened by the invisible ships, the op-
portunity to be critical will be re-
moved. 1t will be regarded, also, by
the enemy as a deliberate move on
the part of the Teutonic allies to de-
prive the dwellers in British and
French towns of very cheap and
reasonably harmless source Of amuse-
ment.

CALIFORNIA FIGHT FANS
 RECALL "GOOD OLD DAYS''

| r .
 tsRemember, remember. the ninth of September" Is the gloomy chorus of the California fight fans today, for, in the good old times before the 1a- dies administered, a knockout to the game, the natal day of the Golden State was the gladdest of the year for .he deyotees of the manly art. PugtHstic encounters early became a feature of the program for the cele- bration of the distinctive holiday of the Native Sons of the Golden Vest and in consequence this is the ami sversary of some of the most thrilling encounters ever staged in the squar- ed circle.
 While the California fans are not yet ready to toss up the sponge, and the majority of them insist that that theg anne is not dead but only sleep ing, there areT others who take a gloomy view. These pessimists as sert that hnis has been written to the hoxing history of the state which has staged so many championshtp con tests.
 whatever the fate of pugilism in California, the bugs may reyel today in memories of the time when Ad- mission Day meant first class rookus Of all the holiday bouts, the three contests in which Joe Cans fig ured loom the largest. On Sept. g., 1907 the Old Master knocked out Jimmy Britt, the Native Son in the sixth round at San Francisco, and just a wear later he was himself was knocked out for the second time by Battling Nelson in 21 rounds at Colrr1a Nelson had previously fig ured in another great Admission Day

HARVARD GETS MOST
 FOOTBALL STARS FROnT TOWNS IN MASSACHUSETTS,

While Yale and, Princeton get foot. ball players from all over the country, the best football material at Harvard has been drawn from Massachusetts. Of -~the 1914 first-string team, only three live outside of Massachusett Wallace, the. center, halls from Cali fornta, where he played footba1 be- fore entering Harvard; Pennock, the ea1l-American guard, came from Syra- cuse. N. .Y., and Parson, the tackle, came from Providence.
 Captain Brickley made Everett fa- nous, and Capt. Eddie sMahan, of the 1915 team, is. upholding the prestige that Natick has gained in the past by being the bailiwick of the late Mike Murphy, Keene Fitzpatrick, Pooch Donovan, Tom Connolly. Johnny Mack and others identified with athletics. The backieId of the Harvard team last year was a Greater Boston outfit Logan, the quarterback,. came from South Boston; Bradlee, the all-Ameri- can halfback, lives in Boston; Mahan comes from Natie4z,9 and Francfe, the fullback, resides, in Cam bridge, where his father is a professor at Harvard
 Tack Hardwick lived in Quincy; Trun1bul1 lives in Salem; Weston, the guard, lives in Cambridge, and Jeff Coolidge the end, resides in Boston. It is a, notable fact that four of the five Harvard players whom many picked for this years all-American eleven, live in N1assachusetts, the fifth one being Pennock, from New York state.
 Also, it is a notable fact that for five consecutive years now the liar yard football captains have been Massa chusetts< men. Mahan, of 1915 and .Brick1ey, of 1914, are from the Bay State. and Percy Wendell. cap tain of the \1912 team that defeated Yale, 20 to 0, lives in Roxbury; Storer last years captain, lives in Boston. and Bob Fisher. captain Tn 1911. lives in Newtnn.
