at her. He cared nothing for Miss II
lingworth, but he had passion for
the older Meade that matched hers for
the younger.
'He has told the truth" he cried al
most like baited animal. "No one is
going to ruin the reputation Of the
man have served and to whom have
given my life without protest from me.
It's his fault, his, his, hist" he cried,
his voice rising with every repetition
Of the pronoun as he pointed at Meade.
Helen Ilingworth turned to her lover
again. She was quieter now.
II know that neither of you is telling
the truth" she said. "Lying for q
great cause, lying in splendid self-sac-
rifice. You are running yourself for
your fathers name and he is abetting.
Why? 1t can't make any difference to
him now. But it makes great differ
ence to me. Have you thought of that?
I'm going to marry you anyway. Only
tell me the truth, Bert. By our love
ask you. If you want me to keep your
secret I'll do it. But If you won't tell
me I'll get that evidence, will find
out the truth, and then shall publish
it to the whole world and then"
"And you would marry me then2"
asked Meade, swept away by this pro-
found pleading.
II will marry you now. instantly, at
any time," answered the girl. 'Indeed
you need me. Guilty or innocent, am
yours and you are mine."
"Listen," protested the engineer.

blame, Of the shame, of the disgrace of
this. But am a man. have youth
still, and strength and inspiration. Un-
til I can hold up my head among men
am nothing to you and you are free"
There was a finality in his tone
which the woman recognized. She
| could as well break it down as batter
stone wall with her naked fist. She
looked at him long time.
"Very WELL" she said at last, unless
shall be your wife I shall be the wife
Of no man. I shall wait confident in
the hope that there is just God, and
that he will point out some way"

Hearty Appetites of Birds.

1t is interesting to observe that hun.
CRY birds-and birds are hungry all
the time-are not content with full
stomachs, but after stuffing the stom.
ach until it will hold no more, they eat
until the crop or gullet also is cram.
med. 1t is an undisputed fact that
birds have healthy appetites. To show
the astonishing capacity Of q birds
stomach, and to reveal the indebted
ness Of man to birds for the destruc-
ton of noxious insects, it is often the
case that stomach will contain two
or three times as much material as the
stomach should seem normally to hold.
This is proved by the reports from
examinations made by the assistants
OF the biological survey. A bank swal-
low in Texas devoured 68 cotton boil
weevils, one Of the worst insect pests
that ever invaded the United States.
A night hawk had eaten $40 grasshop-
pers, 81 bugs, three beetles, two wasps
and spider.

MEN WHO TRAVELLED CIRCUIT
Not the Least Famous Of Noted
Preachers Was Lorenzo Dow
Cautious In Lovemaking.

Many were the famous characters
produced on the circuits Of early days,
says Mr.. Arthur w. Spaulding in "The
Men of the Mountains"-men fearless
in danger, unwearying in labor, endur-
ing in privation, powerful in exhorta-
ton, ready In wit, and often prepared
to use physical as well as spiritual
muscle in their combats with the devil
and his human agents.
Among the most interesting Of them
was Lorenzo Dow, rowing preacher
whose work was not confined to the
mountains or the frontier; for although
he labored from the high peaks of
North Carolina to the banks Of the
Mississippi and from Georgia to Cam
ada. he was well known also along the
Atlantic coast, and even In England
and Ireland. Restless and eager, he
continually travelled; nor would he
marry until he had found young
woman who would promise that she
would spare him from home twelve
months out of thirteen.
His proposal Of marriage, a letter
that is, I think, unique in the DELHI
Grafton and caution with which it APP
proaches the subject, ran as follows:
"If I am preserved, about year
and half from now I am in hopes Of
seeing this northern country again;
and If during this time you live and
remain single, and find no one that
YOU like better than you do me, and
would be willing to give me up twelve
months out Of thirteen, or three years
out of four, to travel, and that In for
eign lands, and never say, Do not go
to your appointment, etc.-for If you
should stand in the way, should pray
to God to remove you, which i belisve

again her searching eyes detected re-

ut is your affection that makes you
say that" he said, "and as you admit
there is really nothing. What l said
just now is true"
1t was much harder to speak the
lie to this clear-eyed woman, who loved
him, than to the reporters. He could
scarcely complete his sentence, and in
the end sought to look away.
"Bertram Meade" said the woman,
putting both her hands upon his Shout
der, '1OOk me in the face and tell me
that you have spoken the truth and
that the blame Is yours"
Meade tried his best to return her
glance, but those blue eyes plunged
through him like steel blades. He did
not dream in their softness could be
developed such fire., He was speech
less. After a moment he looked away.
He shut his lips firmly. He could not
sustain her glance, b1t nothing could
make him retract or unsay his words.

out hoarsely.
"It's brave Of you. It's splendid of
you," she said. II won't betray you.

"What do you meant" asked the
man.

The Unaccepted Remuneration.


The doctor and the officers Of the
law entered the outer office. In spite
Of the brave words that had been
spoken by the woman, the man could
only see long parting and an uncer-
tain future. He realized it the more
when old Colonel Illingworth entered
the room In the wake of the others.
After he had recovered himself he had
hurried to the station in time to catch
the next train and had come to New
York, realizing at once where his
daughter, must have gone.
my father Is Dead" said Meade as
the doctor and the officers Of the law
examined the body of the old man.
The son had eyes for no one but the
old colonel. 'The failure Of the bridge
has broken his heart; my failure, I'd
better say"

is fortunate. I would rather have died

HE FOUND WAY TO WAKE HER
Minister, Annoyed by Woman Who
Persisted in Sleeping During
Service, Had Bright Idea.


The minister Of L is one Of
those quietly humorous characters Of
whom there are many in the church.
He has a deal to contend with in
his preaching, and the chief matter he
has to combat is sleep.
Many of his hearers begin to doze
the minute he starts preaching. The
minister arranged with the verger that
In future he should endeavor to wax
en- sleepers from the pulpit.
He managed this successfully for
some time, but one Sunday he failed
to rouse an old woman, well-known
innkeeper In the parish. At length,
just as he was about to yield, bright
plea struck him.
''Tll waken her this time," he ex-
claimed.
Striking the side of the pulpit firm
ly with his clenched fist, he called out,
"Anither pint here, Janet!" whereupon
the good old innkeeper started up and
replied, Coming sir; comingr"

How to Kill Ants.

Ants may be driven away by taking
a handful Of tansy leaves, broken into
pieces and dropped into boiling water.
Dip q brush into this and wash where
the ants frequent. Do not let the steam
get near your eyes, as it Is extremely
painful. Another recipe is: Mix one
teaspoonful of tartar emetic and one
teaspoonful Of sugar and place on the
floor. A sure remedy for red ants is
hot alum water, in proportions of two
pounds of alum to three quarts Of wa
ter. Apply to crevices thoroughly.
Ants on the lawn may be killed by STIR

seae and hot water.

Puts Price on Bed.

That the ears of little children are
quick to pick up the strange terms
they hear their parents use is indicated
in an incident in the household Of
Judge Deery of city court, says the In
dianapolis News.
Mrs. Deery had been shopping with
her little daughter and when they re-
turned home, the daughter started to
"sell' everything in the house as she
had seen the clerks do.
When she reached a bedroom she
announced that she would sell the bed
for "ten dollars and costs and penal
farm"

ed to give 1t to him."
"Oh, don't do that, Mr.. Meade"
The telephone bell rang.
1.-THE bridget" clamored the insistent
bell.
Staggering almost like a drunken
man, Shurtliff left his place by the
door, reached his thin hand out and
lifted up the telephone, its bell vibrat-
ing, it seemed, with angry, venomous
persistence through the quiet room.
. "It's a telegram" he whispered.
Eyes, this is Mr.. Meade's private sec
rotary. Go on" he answered into the
mouthpiece of the telephone.
There was another moment of ghast-
ly silence while he took the message.
1t was typical of Shurtliff's character
that in spite of the horrible agitation
that filled him, he put the instrument
down carefully on the desk, method
ically hanging up the receiver before
he turned to face the other man. He
spoke deprecatingly. No woman could
exceed the tenderness he managed to
infuse into his ordinarily dry, emotion
less voice.
''The bridge is in the river, sir"
"Of course; any more"
"Abbott-and one hundred and fifty
men with it."
sob, my God!" said the old man.
He staggered forward. Shurtliff
caught him and helped him down into
the big chair before the desk. The
news had been discounted in his mind,
still some kind of hope had fingered
there. Now it was over.
"We must wire Martlet," he gasped
out.
''The telegraph Office said the mes
sage was addressed to you and Mart
let, SO they have got the news, sir"
''1t won't be too late for the last edi-
tons of the evening papers, either"
said the old man. "Shurtliff, 1 was
going to give these documents to the
boy when he got back, but want them
10 appear simultaneously with the
news Of the failure of the bridge.
Wait" He seized the pen and signed
his name to the brief letter of excul-
patton.
The writing in the body of the doc
ument was weak and feeble, the sigma
ture strong and bold. He gathered
the papers up loosely.

The daschUnd is a long, narrow
dog that spends all its time growing
in one direction.
It's face is so far from it's stomach
it has to hire a guide so it's meals
won't get lost. And it has to start
eating at in the afternoon to get
it's food to its appetite by dinner
time.
The daschund is the only dog
known that can stand on the front
porch and sit down in the kitchen.
One half of a daschUnd can be

Los Angeles, Feb. g. Miss Mary
Thurman, actress-athlete, had to
make good at sports in order to hold
her job in comedy motion pictures.
She did her duty with such re-
variable success that she has top
pied over a couple Of Vassar records,
having smashed the wOmen's inter
collegiate marks in the rs and 100
yard spTints.
She is probably the first girl to
take up the ancient Grecian sport of
javelin throwing and in this she is in
a class by herself, hurting the long
spear SO feet and inches, a wonder
full feat for a woman.
She is an expert at running. She
can make the broad and high jumps
with a grace and ease that would
make an ordinary high school youth
blush with envy. She excels in a
wide variety of athletics the very
thought of which would make the
pink-faced dandies of the cities turn
pale
All this she has accomplished just

doing her days work. And on top
of it all she is still a real girl.
Miss Thurman is a leading lady at
the Keystone Comedy company.
Making funny films is a strenuous
business requiring all kinds of ath-
letic ability. Several world cham
piOns now in comedy movies have
won fame because of their physical
prOwess.
Miss Thurman had never seriously
considered sports until she went in
for film fun. The first picture she
worked in required her to don q
bathing suit and swim. She enjoyed
this effort and at once began her
work of becoming proficient in other
branches of sports.
Some of our plays were made on
the campUses of California univer-
Stiles" Miss Thurman said. "This
gave me a chance to call on some of
the most famous coaches on the
coast for advice. UndoUbtedlymu
of my success is due to the interest
they took in me.
Then, too, some of the greatest
athletes in the world live in and
around Los Angeles. At different
times they have appeared in pictures
just as a lark. Knowing my interest
in sports they were always willing to
help me. l have had the benefit of
instruction from such famous track
stars as Fred Kelly, the winner of the

President Wilson's speech to the SEN
