"Lie still n rest; there's plenty
of time" she returned gently, and
pushed him back. About all this
I've done. Pm awfully sorry"
He rose and went to the phone.
With a dart, Peggy caught up a
pair of shears, stole to the base
board along which the telephone
wire ran, slipped the shears thru
an opening, cut the cord, turned
with a defiant face to her husband.
"Therel" she painted. "There!"
He gripped her shoulders.
Peggy twisted from him and
crouched down sullenly into a
chair. He glared at her. then
walked to the door.
I'm going to bed
Peggy sprang up.
"Wait. 1.-THE beds a-aren't

He sat on the couch, digging his
elbow into the pillows. Peggy
stood twisting her hands together.

How long will 1t take to get

house beds have lain unmade till

Peggy rose and went swiftly up
stairs. The beds had been made
up that morning by Lefty with ex-

She moved to the west of the
house and whistled softly. A hulk

had been farm hand for the Pat

who would have unprotestingly
jumped into the river IL Peggy
commanded IL. He didn't know
now what Peggy wanted of him.
Some whispering from Peggy,
then Steve led his team to the side
door, and, stolidly, as tho Il were

went in, lifted the mattress with
Trowbridge on IT, and carried him
to the truck, then drove off silent

A roly-poly figure stood in the
middle of the road. arms waving
as a signal to stop. Trowbridge
brought his machine to a standstill
before the Loomis house.

He made the four miles to his

A white-robed figure rushed
down the path.

crooned.
He drew up stiffly, his six-feet-

dainty figure.

grimly.

Boy Dies to Save His Dog.

Charles j. Ward, IA years old,
preferred to die rather than put
his pet puppy out of existence,
and Monday night took poison in
tended for the dog.
He was found dead, with this
pathetic note at his side: Don't
kill my puppy. l will die in his
place."
His foster father, P. T. Ward,
a prominent business man, had
ordered the boy to kill two fami-
ly dogs that were suspected of
carrying the germs of typhoid.
Mrs. Ward is critically i'll of
typhoid fever and she suspected
that the dogs were typhoid car
riers. She asked her husband to
have them killed.
Master Charles was broken
hearted when told that he must
administer poison to one of the
puppies, which was his favorite
pet and companion. Monday he
worked all day at his foster faith
er's store. When he left for the
family home at 8 O'Clock he car,
ried the poison for the dog,
When Mr.. Ward reached home
two hours later the boy was deaC
on the floor. One of the capsules
containing the poison was miss
ing. Both dogs were alive.
His pet was keeping watch o
yer his young masters body

Advertise.

Newspaper men who are awake
carry advertising that is as in
teresting to the business man or
woman as is news of another ma
ture. Merchants who are awake
use the newspaper columns to tell
of what they have for sale-that
is if they have faith that they can
give value received to their pur-
chaserS.
And, strange as it may seem,
figures tabulated over a great
many years point to the fact that
the man who advertises not only
has the best goods, but sells his
goods at lower prices.
1t pays to advertise. 1t pays
the newspaper; it pays the mer.
chant; it pays the consumer. Ad.
vertising is profitable. - Mt,
Pleasant (Tenn.) Record.

at the age of eighty-three, "life con-

Valley Of HualIaa

One Of the most magnificent stretches
OF scenery to be found anywhere Is the
valley Of Huailas. In the Andes Of Peru.
With all due respect for the virtues of
patriotism and local pride. II must be
admitted that there Is probably no
mountain panorama In the United
States to equal 1t. nor have the far
famed Canadian Rockies anything to
show that can match 1t for color, con-
trast and splendor.
The valley is tucked between two
mountain ranges. the Black range to
the west, the White range to the east.
The low country between sometimes
narrows to bare thousand yards,
sometimes broadens to width of four
or i've miles. From one OF the low
lying spurs that border the rocky gi-
ants towering all around the valley has
the appearance Of some idealized paint
Ing. The vivid green squares OF al
falfa, the little patches Of vegetables.
the acres of grapevines. the orange
trees and the figs, are all like a bit OF
the heart Of the tropics set down under
the very shadow OF monster peaks
capped with eternal snow.

SIXTH pEARrs LUCKY DAY
Date Enters Prominently Into Impor-
tant Events In Career Of North
Pole DIscoverer.

Rear Admiral Robert e. Peary, U.
8. n, retired, who attained the
North pole eight years ago, claims
that the 9th Of the month is his
lucky day. Not only does his birth
day fall on the 9Th, but he reached
the pole on the 9Th Of April, 1909,
having sailed on the trip on the 9th
of July. Also, on the 9th of the fol-
lowing September he sent the wire
less message from Labrador that he
had reached the pole.
Admiral Peary was born at Cres-
son, Pa, on May 9, 1856. When he
was a boy he was big and boisterous.
Later he was sent to Bowdoin college
In Maine, and at twenty-three joined
the coast and geodetic survey at
Washington. Later he became a
naval engineer and took up explor-
ing. His first trip was undertaken
just 80 years ago, and he kept up
his efforts to reach the North pole
until his success in 1909. He has
been honored by many learned So
cieties in America and Europe, and
Is generally recognized as the first
human being to reach the North
pole. His daughter, Miss Marie
Peary, is known to Americans as the
Snow baby" for she was born in the
Arctic.
Admiral Peary was raised to his
present rank and thanked by con-
gress in recognition of his feat in
reaching the pole. He makes his
home in Washington.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE PoILU
"Everythina Might Be Worse Than II
IT," Forms Basis Of French SOL
dlers Litany.

Everything might be worse than
it is," says the poilu, and so he has
composed litany. Every regiment
has a different version, but always
with the same basis. One version
reads:
"Of two things one is certain /;
either you are modified or you're
not modified. If you are not mobil-
lied, there is no need to worry; if
you are modified, of two things one
is certain, either you are behind the
lines or you are on the front. II you
are behind the lines there is no need
to worry. If you're on the front, Of
two things one is certain, either
you're resting in a safe place or
you're exposed to danger. If you're
resting in a safe place there is no
need to worry; if you're exposed to
danger, of two things one is certain,
either you are wounded or you're not
wounded. If you're not wounded
there is no need to worry. If you're
wounded one of two things is GER
tain, either you're wounded seriously
or you're wounded slightly. If you're
wounded slightly there is no need to
worry. If you're wounded seriously,
of two things one is certain. either
you recover or you die. If you re-
cover there is no need to worry, If
you die you can't worry"
