"Don't do nothin' at all, the old man
replied. "Just shuts himself up in his
bedroom and fills his hide. Prince, the
niger that cooks for him, hunks in the
warehouse there; reckon he's drove over

runs the store next day. NJ, as | was

He wouldn't no more have load OF coal

terrible big business. Everybody's got
perfect confidence in him. Leave their

been worn and bagged at the knee by a
man much larger than himself. To suit
his short legs, they had been cut off, so
when he stood up in them he looked
strangely as if his knees We're where his
ankles ought to be. Seating himself, he
took ragged end of plug tobacco from
his trousers pocket and gnawed off a
bite. AS soon as he had spat, he wiped
his lips on the horny back of his hand and
inquired:
"You stranger here?"
X ELLEY replied in the affirmative, and
= with that preliminary the little old man
began to talk. His conversation resem-
bled the canal, beginning nowhere, ending
nowhere, never rising, never falling, with
out perceptible current, with no objective,
no purpose-but always there, perdura-
BILE, stagnant and inexhaustible. He was
Aunt Lucinda Gregg's husband. For
more than forty years he had been her
husband, and had never been or done any
thing else in particular. He talked about
the canal, the crops, the weather, the oak
leaves, the dust in the road, the chair,
automobiles, hickory-nuts. Now and
then he spat, wiped his lips on the back of

tically hunting for it. The woman came
on leisurely, smiling a little. When she
was near them, the old man called:
Hello, Cynthy! Been over to Joneses'?'
eyes," she answered, and gave little
laugh. The laugh seemed to be at the old
mans inquisitiveness, as if it were the OBJ
ject of a fond amusement. such as one has
for the frank greediness Of little child.
She was slender, and graceful in brown
skirt and shirt-wast that may have cost
three dollars, not counting the time it took
her to make them. Even Kelley noticed
her gray eyes and how thick her wavy
brown hair was. Otherwise she was not
in the least to his taste. A kind of shy,
glancing grace, a sweet tone and look
that suggested the peeping flower, We're
not in his category of feminine charms.
No violets for him, when there were sun
flowers. Besides his mind was busy with
the dog.
She stopped moment in front of the
ruinous porch, gossiping with the old
man, smiling little, laughing little.
She glanced back over her shoulder to
where boy and dog together We're beating
up the weed patch; then went leisurely
up the hillside toward the small white
house opposite the church.
The old man spat, Uttered, and drifted
on:

his hand, then went on in the same pitch:
an, as was sayin'-"
At hint from Kelley he talked about
Lowell, beginning with his father: talked
of his shrewdness his wealth, the number
OF farms he owned, just where they were
located, who worked them, and how many
cattle there were on them; how much coal
he sold ana grain he bought.
"Booze-fghter, amt he?' Kelley in
quired.
The old man spat and wiped his lips.
an, as l was sayin', he's the gol-
dlngdest, all-firedest, stubbornest man
that ever was on earth. Yes, sir; he is
that. Allus has been. His father was
before him.. Let him git idee in his head,
and you can't blast it out with dynamite.
Army mules nothin' to him."
Although he used many explosives, he
pronounced them without the least en-
phasis, all in the same monotonous flow.
IN, as | was sayin', the more they
talk about it, the surer he'll be to keep
right on drinkin'. l says to Pastor Med
ford, when he preached that sermon kind

sakes, pastor, l says, don't you know
enough to let him alone? If you let him
alone he'll stop it; but if you keep at him
he won't l believe it's just pride m
stubbornness with him. N, as l was
sayin', about four, five times year he'll
get drunk. Stands to reason if he was a
real drunkard he'd get drunk oftener"
what does he do when he gets soused?'
Kelley inquired, the general subject being
one in which he had personal interest.

though he wasn't as old as me-back in
Civil War times"
Aunt Lucnda's husband then drifted
away into Civil War "reminiscences.
He was still drifting when they heard
the call Of quail beyond the shoulder
of the hill. Stopping his narrative, the old
man cooked his head to one side, listening.
81 reckon that's Bobby-Cynthy Thay-
er's boy" he commented. "Now you'll
see the dog in a minute"
THE quail call sounded again. The
brindle dog dashed out of the store door
and bounded up the road Aunt Lucin-
da's husband spat, wiped his lips with the
back of his hand, and Uttered.
ayes, sir; there he goes he said,
watching the dog rush up the road.
"Thats the greatest youngster for roam
in around you ever see. | says to Gym

a bushy tail he'd be squirrel Satur-

that, the animal dropped to all tours, out
Of Kelley's sight, behind the counter.
"Your dawg?' said the yeggman.
@Yes,' said the merchant.
Kelley managed further observation
or two on the subject of dogs, and with
drew. Conversation of general nature
was not much in his line; besides, he had
already sized up his man and his plant.
As for the man, Kelley's opinion was con-
temptuous; as for the plant, a capable
person could, fguratively speaking, walk
through it anywhere. He had noticed the
simple hasp and paddock by which the
big door that gave from the ware-room to
the dock was fastened. That would be
especially feasible. The dog, he thought
from its general appearance and collar,
was the same he had seen with the boy on
the hillside. A dog was an inconvenience,
but only that. Fortunately, they had
reckoned with the possibility of there be-
ing a dog. If a bit of strychnine would
not answer, blow with club certainly
would.
Finesse was not, finally, what they re-
lied upon. A dog might bark; man
might yell an unready and bewildered
neighborhood might be aroused. But

into sight around the shoulder of the hill.
Kelley recognized the boy as the lad he
had seen at the edge of the woods. His
mind, however, was really upon the dog,
and he asked aimlessly, "Live here?"
"Up yonder,' replied the old man, nod
ding toward the little white dwelling OPP
posite the church. "That was her mas
house fore she was married, so she come
back to it. She married Lem Thayer.
He was a fireman on the railroad then.
His folks owned farm over toward
Glidden. Lem got killed in a wreck when
they'd been married only year or two.
That was five, six years ago. Cynthy

Bobby was just baby. Railroad pays
her ten dollars month pension, and

sons; but, s was sayin', Why, Moses and

ROBBY had stopped some distance up
the road. Having found piece of board
there, the size of a mans hand, he had
shown it to the dog, then thrown it into

there were four of them,-all men of
ability,-and it would take them only
twenty minutes to blow the safe. Viewing
the situation in that light, Kelley walked
out into the road and contemplated
Prophetstown with a small, thin grin on
his lips 1t was only country road now,
although it had once been Main Street.
Half dozen deserted buildings struggled
forlornly on either side of it. Removed
from it dozen rods, under the hillside
oaks, stood the decaying school-house;
then the painless church. Three or four
frame dwellings were scattered on the
hillside; but all except the small white
one opposite the church seemed deserted.
just ahead of him on the right was the
two-story ramshackle building that had
been the hotel now out of plumb and in
advanced decrepitude. Such was the town.
That any considerable resistance could
arise here seemed out of the question.
Still, there was the little matter of the
dog. By hanging around while he might
dispose of that, and he had plenty of time.
Two stout and ancient chairs stood on the
porch of the old hotel. He went over
coolly, sat down in one of them, and
lighted his pipe.
TT may have been the creaking of the
porch or the clump of his heavy foot
upon it. At any rate. he had scarcely got
the pipe lighted when the warped door at
his right opened and a little old man
peered out at him.
Thought I'd set down a minute" said
Kelley socially.
The little old man contemplated him a
moment through squirting eyes. Then
he came out and sat down in the other
chair. His bullet head was bare; his
stubby mustache was nearly white his
sparse hair quite white; his weakened face
the mellow red of an old brick. What
teeth remained in his lower jaw were dis
colored and crooked; but his false upper
teeth were faultlessly, dazzlingly regular.
His short legs were incased in pair of
butternut trousers that had evidently

CAUSE
OF MANY DEATHS
Effect of the Plague Now Seen
in the State Health
Reports

The effect of the early stages of the
infantile paralysis outbreak is shown
in the report of deaths throughout
the State for the month of August is
sued today by Commissioner OF
Health Samuel q. Dixon. Tt showed q
total of 1857, the highest since
April and 214 were attributed to the
plague.
During the month there were 1S,997
births, a rather low figure for the
month. The chief cause of death was
diarrhoea, which caused 2300 deaths,
2129 among children under two years
of age Bright's disease caused 642,
tuberculosis of the lungs 6S1; pneu-
monia 3ss; typhoid fever 100; and
cancer 533.
Only one death was caused by
scarlet fever. the smallest from that
disease in years, but liz persons died
from whooping cough, II from diph-
iberia, SO from measles. 0 from in
fluenza and 3 from malaria. Six hum
dred and ninety eight infants died.
There were 81 suicides. 90 killed
in mines and 1872 killed by railway
injuries, other forms of violence
causing 6S4 deaths.
In the last few weeks there has
been a marked decline in the num-
Der of infantile paralysis cases re-
ported and Ii is not believed that the
total of the outbreak will go to the
1000 mark.

TREE FAKIRS BUSY
IN PENNSYLVANIA
"Vaccinating" to Prevent Dis
ease Is No Good, Says
Prof. Sanders

Reports. received at the Department
of Agriculture of the presence in some
parts of the State of tree fakirs have
started a move to halt "cures of tree
diseases by "vaccinating" trees by in
Jecting some chemicals under the bark
or inserting chemical mixtures in holes
bored in trees.
Economic Zoo1ogist j. @. Sanders to-
day declared that all claims of this kind
are absolutely false and pure fakes and
lie warns the people of the State against
the misrepresentations of such agents.
Professor Sanders says he would like to
have every person who Is approached d
by an agent who wishes to vaccinate e
trees to send the name and address of
Department of Agriculture at Harris-
burg so that effective steps to stop the
fraud may be taken.
Professor Sanders also declared
against the driving of nails into trees
under any conditions as cure or REM
edy for diseases or insects as the prac-
tice is always harmful to the trees 1t
the State that trees need more from and
nails are driven into the trees by agents
who claim to be tree doctors" In the
eastern section of the State recentlv an
orchardist was recently approached by
an agent who claimed that he had nails
dipped in medicine which would work
wonders for the trees IF driven into
them. Other fake agents offer to in
sert pills or capsules. under the bark
age by insects Professor Sanders and
the Bureau of Zoology Is ready to ex-
tend every aid to the farmers and ORCH
ardists of the State and want to warn
everyone of the many methods of fakirs
to get their money and ruin their trees.

Meat is the natural diet of the wild

in the sporting dogs diet. SO long
as 1t is untainted 1t makes little differ
