Reeves, Who Put Iowa Apples on the
Man


Elmer Reeves. of the WaverlV
Nursery, is the man who, perhaps,
has come nearer putting Iowa on the
map as an apple state than any one
other individual. For eighteen
years he has had charge of the horti-
cultural exhibit ct the Iowa state
fair and for eleven years has been a
member of the state board of agricul-
ture.
The first year he was in charge of
the horticultural exhibit at the fair
there were but about 100 plates of
Iowa apples exhibited. Last year
there were over 5000, which goes to
show the great interest that has beel
aroused in apple culture in this state
1t may not be generally known,
but Iowa raises the best Jonathan
apples in the country. This was am
ply proven at the two meetings of the
National Horticultural congress held
at Council Bluffs, of which Mr.
Reeves was superintendent Iowa
apples won all the big prizes at both
exhibits and at the last one carried
away the sweepstakes and the first
and second prizes in competition
with carloads of apples sent by Tex
as aShinotOn Oregon Idaho Col
crado and Nebraska and smaller
quantities sent by other states.
Jonathan apples from many states
were exhibited, but Iowa showed the
finest. Colorado, noted as fruit
state, made a special effort to secure
first prize on these apples and scour-
ed the state for the finest samples.
But the Iowa Jonathan was too1mueh
even for Colorado. --Waterloo Cour-
fer.

The sick man moved restlessly.
"Sing! Sing!" he murmured hoarsey.
Again the apologetic blue eyes We're
lifted to Pennrhyn's face. at keeps him
quiet-maybe he'll sleep!" she explained
deprecatingly. Pennrhyn saw the goose
flesh roughening her thin blue arm as she
raised it dripping from the icy water and
curled it softly around the head on the
pillow. The little soprano voice, taking
up again the old camp-meeting tune dis
turbed by Pennrhyn's entrance, sang
family on:
"On the other side of Jordan, in the sweet
There is rest for the weary-there is rest for
YOU"
r EST! The word struck on Pennrhyn's
consciousness so sharply as to wipe out
every other impression; and suddenly he
realized his own WEAKNESS. He was tired
utterly, desperately tagged out. Over
strained nerves, exhausted muscles
every fiber of his body thrilled and
throbbed its own special message of fa-
tigue.
Suddenly he flung out his hand to
Gluten tne iron raining al tne 'front.' OF the
bed. His head had fallen sideways on his
shoulder. A little more and he would
have collapsed into helpless slumber
where he stood. With fierce resolution
he gripped his mighty hands. No; till
the doctor came he must not desert his
post! A couple of hours sleep would put
him into condition again for to-morrows
fight. After ALL what was it, that fight
of tomorrow? A struggle to turn ten
millions into fifteen. And if he succeeded
in getting his fifteen millions, what would
he buy with them? What could he buy
with them to compare with what that
lean, humble, fever-stricken chap on the
cheap iron cot had for nothing?
Sudden anger stirred in his heart. His
own marriage-what was the matter
Evening star., 1916-08-13

with it? When, since the first year or two
of their married life,-since their little son
had died, since society had claimed Mil
dred and business himself, when had he
ever seen her beautiful eyes look at him
as the little woman in the gingham blouse
had looked down just now at that long
chap in the bed?
Pennrhyn's powerful mind, softened by
excessive fatigue to a recognition of its
own human weakness, thrilled with sud-
den pity for his own life Hang it, what
did Mildred mean? Did he let her lack
any attribute of luxury that money could
buy? Heavens, didn't he give her enough?
AS if by way of response, the remembered
verse echoed again through his mind:
If a man would give all the substance of
With a gesture of impatience Pennrhyn
flung off these haunting, useless thoughts
mere phantoms, he told himself, of his
overstrained nerves-and, dominating the
sleepiness that began to paralyze brain
and limbs, continued to perform the OBJ
vious and necessary labors that con-
fronted him.
Slowly the hours of the night drifted
by, and the pallid light of coming dawn
began to whiten the walls of the humble
room. Still Black Jack, driven not so
much by a philanthropic tenderness for
his brother man as by congenta disa-
bility to "lie down on any conflict once
entered, labored on. He gruffly forced
the pallid little mother to sit still in her
chair. With awkward hands he continued
to perform all the necessary tasks.
AT last, through the morning chorus of
the birds without, broke the sound for
which his straining ears had been listening
that of human voices and approaching
steps. Then shock-headed young fellow,
followed by bearded man with black
bag, entered the room.
Evening star., 1916-08-13

Kitty, laying her sleeping infant in its
bed stood white and rigid by the bedside
while the financier, gripping his failing
powers, waited with irrepressible interest
for the doctors verdict.
"Typhoid-a serious case. But don't
worry. He'll pull through, guess. Why
didn't you send for me before?"
Pennrhyn, pulling the doctor aside
muttered hurriedly in his ear:
"See here, doctor. My names Penn
rhyn-John Pennrhyn." The country
practitioner bowed respectfully at the
name of the we'll known millionaire
Pennrhyn went on quickly: al want that
fellow in there made comfortable, d. y
see? When you get back to the village
call up my Fifth Avenue house-l0O0
Central Park. Ask for Jenkins, my man.
Tell him to take the last years touring
car, and rush it up here with all that's
needed for typhoid case. A bed, linen
sheets, blankets-tel him yourself what's
needed; aimed nurse-no, two nurses
That little woman must get her rest
nights. A servant. A tent for them all to
sleep in-Jenkins IL fix it. Jenkins IL
l guess I'll have to lie down for an hour
just an hour or two."
His lips stiffened, his head fell sideways.
Sleep, vainly wooed and long defied, had
him by the throat. Led by kind of
animal instinct, he stumbled toward an
angle that led to the Kitchen where he
had noticed another bed, probably the
hired mans. Nobody disturbed him as,
with blind, heavy jerks, he dragged the
mattress out on the porch and flung him
self down upon it. Vaguely he noted the
clear saffron tint of the sky behind the
house and the scarlet rim of the sun lust
peeping up from behind the mountains
above him.
The next moment he was gone. On a
mattress of shavings, covered with red
and-white patchwork quilt, Black Jack
Pennrhyn slept that Sleep which resembles
death in everything, but that is the re-
birth of life
WHEN he woke, the saffron had turne
orange, and the glowing disk of IL.
sun hung splendid above the dark sill
houette of the mountains. From lin
and brain the twanging WEAKNESS hi?
disappeared. Pennrhyn yawned al
stretched himself in the ruddy sunlipl
like a huge bear congratulating himse..
that an hour or two of sleep can work.
Fiercely his mind pounced to the imm
nent conflict over Roanoke Central which
awaited him. Like gladiator, he girded
his loins.
"Ill show 'em!" he muttered with set
teeth. "I'll smash 'em!"
Around him the house was silent.
Yawning, he pulled out his
watch. 1t marked nearly half
past seven. Swiftly his brain
laid its plans: A quick paddle
- back to the house, shower. a
change, cup of coffee-he had
just time enough before making
the half past eight boat
Where was that poor little
woman with the thin elbows,
and how was the sick man?
No time to see about them
now. He'd send a man over
to inquire this evening when
he got home again from the :.
city.
Evening star., 1916-08-13


the COW byre?
Half an hour later he held cup of
warm new milk to the lips Of the sick man
in the little house below. The effect of
the nourishment, following the reducing
of the temperature induced by the cold
water, was instantaneous. Slowly the
heavy lids rose from eyes no longer fixed
in the wild glare of delirium The languid
glance, passing over Pennrhyn, fixed it
self on the little yellow-haired woman
beside the bed. Without pausing in her
work of wringing out the towels in fresh
cold water, she bent over the sick man.
"Feelin' better, dearie?" she asked in
tones that broke with tenderness.
A feeble voice answered her.
"Feeling-great. Say, Kit, but you're
some nurse!" Then, pausing as if to
gather strength: "Say, but you're dar-
ling! Lord, girl, what darling you are!'
The wet towel dropped from Kitty's
hand.
"Oh! Oh!" she uttered in little weep
ing cry of pure ecstasy; and her head
went down on the pillow beside her hus-
bands. Something caught at Pennrhyn's
throat. With an inarticulate grunt, he
picked up the two pals and went to fill
them anew at the we'll
IN the surge of his over-active mind two
currents of thought seethed, as it were,
side by side. One was the abiding prob
lem of to-morrow's conflict in Roanoke
Central, the ever-present obsession of his
ambushed foes; the other was verse
read out in little country church more
years ago than he cared to think about
a lovely, surprising kind of verse that had
caught a young boys fancy and had set
him smuggling with awkward fondness up
to his mothers side:
If a man would give all the substance
of his house for love, it would utterly
be contomned.
the chain ran out and the buck
ct FLASHED hollowly in the depths
of the well. A moment later, as
Pennrhyn slowly poured the dark,
shining water into the pals, his eye
went rowing back to the lighted g
window beside him on the hillside
For the first time in many years,
he felt himself small. inefficient
helpless. His swelling muscles and
electric brain, the pride of moment
what were they in the face of
the eternal forces by which he was
surrounded? There in the hovel
beside him was love, fighting out
its endless duel with looming death.
Above him were the silent stars.
Picking up his two pals, he re-
turned slowly to the house. Out 1
side the open door he stopped Nh
short for moment. Inside the sick s;
room some one was singing-a little ses
unframed soprano voice singing an ,s,l|
old hymn with plaintive softness.
Pennrhyn paused moment, then M
entered almost awkwardly. Mz
Kitty had installed herself beside sx
her husbands bed, with shawl
about her shoulders and an infant s
claspe1 to her bosom by her left
arm. Her right hand and arm, by
an ingenious arrangement of the
basin on chair beside her, she
