How To mEconomize.U }

said the wife.
Nonsense" replied the husband.
It'll be fine exercise for me. I'll go
out and saw the logs myself"
For one half hour he persisted. The
net results were two logs, a broken
saw, pair of trousers scarified by
saw. 1t was at this point that he went
indoors and said: "My dear, after all,
l think at this time of the year the

LEIGH ONCE HIGHLY PRICED
In Days That Have Long Gone BY tho
Bloodsucker Was Considered
of Value.

Our great-grandfathers regarded the
leech as a sort of first-aid outfit in
case of sickness. In the days when
blood-letting was popular panacea
the physician would have worried less
over the loss of his pill box than over
the death of this little worm. And
so long as blood-letting was popular
there was nothing to match the eff
cheney of the leech.
Nature fitted him for the task to
which the physician adapted him.
Long before he was used on humans
the 1eech was performing operations
of his own on fish, frogs and other
at the bottom of his marsh home.
His operating tools consist of a cup
like sucker at the end of his tail and
another at his mouth. Also at his
mouth are three semicircular, sharp
toothed Jaws, which he works togeth-
way through the scales of fish and
reaches the blood.
Then the leech's wormlike body be-
gins 20 expand. He has II pairs of
sacks in his stomach, and he must fill
all these before he is satisfied. He
drinks until he is from two to three
times his natural size.
The leech Is liveliest In day time,
and at night he curls UP for a nap.
When winter comes he buries himself
In the mud and waits for warmer
weather

JOHNS DECEPTION
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

Il think you're nice-very nice, Mr..
Hardy. But like you so much better
when you don't make love to me-
"Why?" asked John Hardy, the new
assistant to the United States COM
missioner of Tongo Island, South Pa
cific, as they sat under palm tree.
"Why?"
Because I'm not that sort of girl,"
answered Lydia Durfree, only daugh-
ter of the aforementioned commits
sioner.
I'll tell you what the trouble is,
Miss Lydia" said the young man braz-
emily. "You don't care for any of US,
because you happen to be the only
white girl on the island, with nearly
twenty men to pick and choose FROM"
The girl flushed angrily; then
laughed. Eyes, and none of the other
nineteen is on speaking terms with me
because / have refused them ALL" she
confessed That's why want to save
the only friend / have left to-talk to-
John Hardy had only been in Tongo
a month, but already he knew that
Lydia was the one girl in the world
for him. So he.took hold of the little
sunburned hand.
81 can't help it." he said. Il love
you, Lydia. Just tell me there's some
hope for me-"

Hardy" she answered severely, new

clasp. 81 confess am little fond of

apprehensively. "but what is it you
want ?"
"Just this: there's live goose in q
bag we've just thrown into that shed
yonder. We want it killed, dressed
and roasted. I'll bet you're just
dandy cook and it will be nothing to
you. If you want to throw in a loaf
of that luscious bread you're baking,
we'll go away with fondest memories
of the handsomest gal we've seen in a
year." -
Vera hesitated. Then she resolved.
The men looked peaceable. A little
added cookery would not be arduous,
But when Vera went out to the wood
Shed, Ratchet in hand, she made sur
prising discovery. The bag held Homo
lulu, which the tramps evidently had
stolen from Jared Dunn. )
Now Vera knew the fowl well from
having seen it. She liked Mr.. Dunn
less than the goose, for she felt that
Mr.. Dunn had been unjust to her
fance.. She turned Honolulu into
coop and selected one of their own
geese. In three hours time the two
tramps gloatingly carried away fine
roasted fowl and loaf of homemade
bread and the tension on Vera,s
nerves was relieved.
Vera knew how the old man would
miss his adopted pet, in fact within an
hour a town constable came by in
search of the missing fowl and de-
scribing Mr.. Dunn in frantic state
Of anxiety.
"I'll take Honolulu back to Mr.. Dunn
myself announced Vera.
The old man stared hard at her as
she appeared and emptied his feath-
cred favorite out of the bag.
You're the girl my nephew is going
to marry" observed the old man, curl
ously and intently studying Vera. i
owe you a good deal for finding Homo
lulu. How was it,"
She told the story. The grim face
of her auditor began to uncloud. He
led her on to talk of his nephew,
far-away expression came into his eye.
Did the purity, innocence and bright
truthfulness of this charming soul
bring back a memory of his dead
sister, Harvey's mother?
"Just waiting to save enough to get
married on?" he spoke speculatingly,
half to himself. "And you brought
back Honolulu-and you're a bright.
good lass. I'll see-Tll see!"
He did "see." Everything in the
sweet influence of this charming girl
penetrated the crust Of his sordid
humor. AS he turned away it was to
hide a hungry longing for compan-
ionship.
Come and see me again, will you?"
he asked
81 will be glad to-" replied Vera in
her simple straightforward way. "You
are Harvey's uncle, and we both speak
of you so Often"
go away, child" he warned, In a
choking tone. I'm selfish, hard
hearted old man and-thank you for
Honolulu, and I'll make that right
with you"
He made it so right" that within
a week there was reconciliation
with his nephew and new house go
ing up for the engaged pair.
"You brought it all about, you fam
Gus old bird!" exulted Jared to his re-
covered fowl, but old Honolulu only
bobbed about. He could not consis-
tently "honk" just then. There were
no stormy weather conditions hover
ing-only sunshine!"

you. But I'll have to know you good
deal better before-before l can even
listen to that sort of conversation"
"I'll wait another month, then" said
the young man gloomily.
The truth was that Lydia was decid-
eddy spoiled. But then, at twenty-one,
with score of eligible young men up
on tiny island, with dances and en-
tertainments going on all the time,
one does love little amusement be-
fore one settles down to the staidness
of married life. Lydia knew that she
had loved Hardy from the moment
they set eyes on each other But she
was not going to let him know yet.
Not, perhaps, until her fathers term
of service ended with the next years
presidential elections, which, everyone
knew, would throw his party out OF
power.
Before the month had gone any
where near half way, John Hardy
knew that his love was the overmas-
tering impulse of his life. And Lydia
seemed as distant as ever. Worse,
she had become reconciled with d1-
verse and sundry ancient suitors, who,
finding life unsupportable without
feminine society, had conquered their
feelings and humbly craved Lydia for
her friendship, which she had been
pleased to accord.
Then one day John failed to turn up,
as usual, and the next day, instead of
excuses, he brazenly said that he had
had an appointment During the ensu-
ing weeks he came far less often to
the residence. Lydia pretended not to
care. But somehow the society of the
callow youths who had made love to
her began to be intolerable. Willingly
or not, she realized that John was
necessary to her life.
When he did come he was as pleas
ant as ever. But never another word
of love passed his lips. And about the
end of the month he had given him
self he came gleefully up the path.
"Ship's in the bay" he called.
"Yes?" inquired Lydia, without en-
thusiaSm.
Putting in at Raree. And say,
Miss Lydia, what do you think?
There's party of English girls going
to spend a whole month in Raree.
Now we'll have some jolly times, eh?'
"What are they doing in Raree?" in
uuired Lydia suspiciously.
BLESSED if I know" said John.
II hope you'll have good time,
then" said Lydia acidly, and left him.
From her window upstairs she looked

That Explains II.

What" we asked the captain of
finance, "is the secret of your sue
cess?" "Unremitting industry and
strict attention to business" he re-
piled. But" we objected, it is a
well-known fact that you never reach
your office before eleven o'clock and
that you quit at two and spend the
rest of the day playing golf" quite
true" said the magnate, but that is
neither here nor there. The secret

across the bay toward Raree through
her fathers telescope. She saw the
tiny town, and the ocean liner in the
harbor, and suddenly she found that
she was crying.
She looked at herself in the glass
and discovered that she was not real
ly pretty-only pleasant-looking and
good-natured. John Hardy would fiild
equal or greater attractions in any OF
a hundred women with whom proprin-
guilty might throw him. And she had
as good as lost him!
She felt sure of it during the ensu-
ing days. Not for a world would she
ask any of her friends about the Eng
lish girls in Raree. But she was mis-
erably unhappy, and she treated John
like a dog, which is the way of some
women when they are in love.
The worst of it was, John did not
seem to care. He spent lot of time
away from her now, and whenever she
asked him where he had been, he al
ways said "Raree."
SIM tired of hearing you tell me
you have been over there" she burst
out at last. IF you find it so fascinat-
ing in Raree, you can just stay away
from here" f
..Why, Miss Lydia!" protested John.
II didn't know you minded my going
to Raree."
81 don't, and I don't want you to
think / do-so there!" cried Lydia, I'M
able to control the tears.
'But Lydia. Dearest!"
"How dare you call me dearest
when you spend all your time across
the bay? No, don't you dare to try to
put your arms round me. You can
just go to your pack of English women
and keep away from here for-for
ever! / shouldn't care at all if you
hadn't protested that you-you loved
mel"
"But I do love you, Lydia! l love
you with all my heart"
Angry as Lydia was, she could not
help the thrill that came to her when
John said that. And she suffered him
to take her in his arms without re-
sistance; and she knew that she loved
him with all her heart too.
But what do you go to Raree for?'
she demanded presently, sitting the
sobs that would still come from her
lips. .'.''''7 gig
= why, II haven't been to Raree
quite as much as pretended to you"
admitted Hardy. ''You see
eyes, 1 see very well. It's that pack
of English women over there"
"But there aren't any English wom-
en-not real ones" said John. you
see, they are Kanaka women, the
wives of some Of the black workers in
Australia, who are waiting for their
husbands to come home after serving
their term on che plantations
John! Black women? Natives?
You said they were English women"
"Well, they are, legally, Lydia, dear
