There Was Nothing Slow About Bert,

of this monotonous waiting. And he
offered no happier prospects after mar
riage, if marriage could ever be. Well,
his sole duty now lay with his brother.
AS far as Marie was concerned
no other man than Jim had ever
claimed even one tiny thought. Yet
there was another man in the offing
"a tall, sleek, not unattractive youth,
who had many times eyed Marie ad-
miringly as they ascended together in
the elevator to their respective places
of employment. And that man, Bert
Rogers had decided to meet Marie.
SIX days after Marie's engagement to
jim was broken he accomplished his
wish through the agency of fellow
stenographer Of Marie's.
And on the day after he met Ma
rie Bert drove her in his small but
mile-devouring roadster far up along
the Hudson. There was nothing slow
about Bert.
Marie, left at loose ends Of her
own making, found life far more ex-
citing now than 1t had been with Jim.
Jims money had been limited and
had had TO be spent In many ways.
Bert's appeared to be ample and had
but one outlet-One good time after
another. And Just now 1t pleased him
to include Marie.
Seats at the latest comedy; sup
per at the most exclusive little res
taurants; hamper picnics on distant
beaches; midnight dances at softly
lighted, glass floored dance halls
Marie went the pace and didn't stop
to wonder when-or where-it would
all end.
Arrived the night of the infantry
ball. the one annual extravaganza she
and Jim had permitted themselves.
Bert tossed tickets for it into her lap
as they sat together on a grassy bluff
overlooking the Sandy Hook panorama.
Not crazy about It," said Bert In
his blase way, 'but we might as well
take it in
Other years Marie had not fused
unduly about her clothes. Poor old
Jim had thought that whatever she
wore outshone the costumes of all the
others. Bert, Marie realized. was con-
siderably more critical. Therefore she
drew on her rainy day balance and
splurged.
Bert's flowers were lavish and
snowy and Marie couldn't help but
think, not nearly as fragrant as the
modest bunch of violets which had

BELT TO CARRY MINES OUTPUT
THROUGH LONG TUNNEL

An eastern coal company, in opening
up three new mines, situated close to-
pether, was confronted with the problem
OF transporting the output to river A
miles away, with steep and rugged hills
intervening. A railroad around the hills
or one through them appeared to be too
expensive in first cost and in operation,
so it was decided to bore small tunnel
through the hills and convey the coal on
a series of belts, as shown in the October
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The distance of IA miles, in which
there is a rise of 800 feet, will be made
with 20 conveyors in series, each deliver
ing the coal to the one ahead. At the
loading end, the belt will be feet wide
for receiving the coal direct from the
mine cars as they are hoisted up the
shaft, and will carry the coal 500 feet
to the next conveyor, which will be
feet wide. The unloading belt at the
river will be feet wide, and will deliver
to four or six other belts, which dis
charge the coal through chutes into
barges.

NAMES FUEL PROBLEMl

Governor Baxter sent Andrew P. Lane,
the State fuel administrator, to Phiiade-
phia a few days ago to make personal in
vest igation of the hard coal situation.
Mr.. Lane has been in consultation with
large operators and dealers and sends an
encouraging message to the gove
Mr.. Lane reports that four of the large
anthracite coal companies have already
shipped anthracite coal by rail and via
barges to points in Maine. This mes
sage means that some anthracite coal
will soon be available for Maine consum-
ers. 1t will not be possible to deliver
more than a small quantity to each GUS
TONER but such coal as comes Will be dis
trIbuted equitably from time to time.
The amount for each consumer will be
limited as there will not be enough to go
around.
Governor Baxter urges householders
and other consumers to put In small
quantities of good grade of bituminous
coal to carry them throuSh the early
part of the winter. Governor Baxter be
lieves that many householders will lind
that bituminous coal is more economical
and that some of them will doubtless
prefer it to anthracite Most of the
States use bltuminous coal exclusively
and there is no reason why it cannot be
used in Maine by many people who never
thought of using it before. If this is
done it will relieve the pressure on the
anthracite market and will tend to keep
down prices. The anthracite market is
an artificial one and our people should
learn to use substitutes for it Every
hou sehoder should use as much wood as
possible and burn oil and gas in stoves to
tide over the first part of the winter.
Mr., Lane will return to Augusta on
Friday to report to Governor Baxter 10

ANCIENT SIGNS AND PROVERBS
Have Been Borrowed From Spain and
Are More or Less Generally Be-
lieved in America.

All countries have their signs and
proverbs. Our own land being COM
paratively new, has not so many of
its own as the others, but it has bor-
rowed a good many here and there.
Here are some translated from the
Spanish language and which, so far
as I know, have not found their way
into our collection of superstitions
An infant crying during the cere-
mony of baptism will never reach ma
turity. Every child will keep place
in heaven for its godmother. When
cock crows in the night it is sign
that a friend of the family has died.
He who yawns must not forget to
make a sign of the cross over his
mouth, else Satan will hop down his
throat. He who feigns death will soon
die in reality. To sleep with the head
of the. bed toward the east will bring
bad luck. To keep visitor from re-
naming too long put a broom behind
the door. The Portuguese use shoe
for that hospitable purpose, or throw
salt in the fire. He who trims his
nails on Friday suffers from toothache,
and moreover, Old Nick assists in the
cutting. If man dreams of his sweet
heart and will at once turn his pillow
he will dream of her again. He who
falls asleep in the kitchen will marry
an old woman. 1t is unlucky to eat
an orange after sunset. Be cautious
of a silent man and of dog that does
not bark. If thou wishest to have
wife choose her on Saturday and
not on a Sunday.-NIarion Holmes In

Marie Tires of
Jim
BY H. LOUIS RAYBoLD


g, 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
For just two years Marie and Jim
had been engaged and, until the day
before yesterday, they had been quite
happy. The long engagement was
none of Jims wishing. Force of cir
cumstances In the shape of an invalid
and absolutely dependent brother had
made 1t impossible for Jim, Just out
of the service when he met Marie, to
lay aside enough to justify the assump-
tion of new burdens.
AT first they had made plans for
somewhat indefinite future. but of
late they had grown-Marie especially
Ito seize the present and let the days
to come take care of themselves.
And now. this sunny afternoon
when an advance spring breeze per-
fumed the air, they had quarreled.
"Yes, l like you, Jim." walled
Marie finally, only-only l think l am
tired of you and tired of being en-
gagged. Yes, It's dreadful TO say, but

for the shining Dit of jewelry. Then
he Strengthened his shoulders. "Of
course, DEAR" he said soberly, '1ts
worlds better. Tll-I'll try to take it
sensibly. Now, let's go home"
If. after Jim had left Marie, he
wondered II any other man had been
the cause of her detection, he tried
to stffle the suspicion. To be sure, any
girl would have grown weary long ago

In the parish of Barr the other week
(writes a correspondent to The Scots
man. At the last term In May the
fowls were brought by a shepherd from
the farm of North Balloch to the farm
of Warlea, distance of II miles. All
went well until last week, when they
left their new home. They were seen
by a herd on Changne farm crossing
the moor in the direction of their old
home, and as soon as they reached

of the distance, reaching North Balloch

For some reason or other, nothing
went Just right Bert could not dance
at least, not In that sturdy, swing
ing way she had learned to love in
Jim. Also, she didn't care for the
silly compliments Bert whispered IN
her ear as he held her rather too
closely. Jim never would talk as he
danced. Said he had a slngle-track
mind and couldn't keep his feet and
his tongue going at the same time.
Odd, after all, thought Marie to her
self, TO be dancing with the man who
was giving you the time of your young
life, and recalling the man you had
grown tired Of
The crisis came at intermission.

Bert threw his arm around Marie's
shoulder That instant, Marie knew.
Knew that 1t was Jim and not Bert
who could bring her happiness.

Insisted coldly. 'I'm-Fm sick Of IT."
And Bert, Inwardly sneering at the
girl Who wouldn't play up" as he
called It, was forced to acquiesce.
Although the hour was late when
Marie found herself at home and
alone, 1t was not too late, she told
herself nervously, to find out If Jim
was still free-free to become bound
again. Quivering, she stood at the
telephone.
"Yes-yes-it's Marie. Oh, Jim,

The bird lovers of Maine have always
got their good eyes out for the birds and
recently reports have been coming in
that white winged cross bills have been
seen in number of sections. The RAN
geleys, in Auburn, at Bingham, on the
Eustis ridge, these birds have been OBJ
served. The white winged crossbill, it is
interesting to note, nest mainly in spruce
trees and visit Maine only at rare inter-
walls. Their usual range is from the
northern part of the United States as
winter quarters.
These birds have been seen this fall on
Mt Percival in Northport. 1t is not
probable that they nested there.

REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY
tion in Deep Wisdom, According
to This Writer.

The choice of one day in seven Is
certainly the wisest that could have
been made. However arbitrary 1t may
appear, and may be to a certain ex-
tent, to shorten or lengthen work on
account of one day, l am neverthe-
less persuaded that six days are the
exact measure Of a mans physical
powers of endurance, whether in labor
or uniform employment. There is
something humane, too, In allowing
the animals employed In mans serv-
ice to share In his rest. To lengthen
the time between this constantly re-
curing day of rest would be no less
foolish than inhuman, though ! once
saw the experiment made. When l

time of the Revolution Q792-1SO5) L

TEN. The tenth day was to be what
our Sunday is, and the work went on
for nine days consecutively but when
this became evidently too much for the
strength many observed Sunday also,
at least as far as the police would
allow: hence resulted next too much
idleness; and thus we always blunder
between two extremes when we de-
part from the regular middle way
ordained for us. But If this be the
case when merely worldly considera-
tions are taken into account, how
much is its Importance altered when
we see In a religious point of view,
which makes the idea as we'll as the
enjoyment of the day a source Of
spiritual peace and real consolation.
