names--High links and Low Jinks
the outstanding and never forgotten
example of it.
Mrs Perch was a fragile little bOlv

could have been divided between her
bed and a bath chair
She was intensely weak sighted,
but she never could find her glasses;
and she kept locked everything that
would lock. but she never could find

fond of that Mr.. Sabre" and Sabre
returned great affection for her
Young Perch was a tall and slight
young man with a happy laugh and
an air which suggested to Sabre, after
puzzlement, that his spirit was only
aighted in his body as bird aIights
and swings upon a tWig, not engrossed
in his body.
Sabre was extraordinarily attracted
by the devotion between the pair
Their interests, their habits, their
thoughts were as widely sundered as
their years, yet each was wholly and
completely bound up in the other
When Sabre sat and talked with
Young Perch of an evening, old Mrs.
Perch would sit with them, next her
son, in an armchair asleep. At inter-
walls she would start awake and say

Young Perch not pausing in what
he might be saying, would stretch a
hand and lay it on his mothers. Mrs.
Perch, as though F'reddie's hand
touched away enormous WEAKNESS

Declares Aphrodite Was "FIard Boiled''

CHICAGO.-The mail order romance
- of rather aged and halt Hermes
and his +. o. b. Aphrodite came to a
smashup in Judge Harry B. Miller's
courtroom.
Hermes, it may be remembered, was
the winged messenger Of the immor-
tails Of Mount Olympus, the youth of
Mercurial charm and swiftness. Aph-
rodite was the perfect divinity, the
ideal Of maidenly charm and beauty.
Therefore, it was shock when
John D. Finley. sixty-one, hobbled
into Judge Miller's courtroom and an
nounced himself as the Hermes in the
"hard-boiled" idyll spun in correspond
ence by Aphrodite, otherwise Miss
Sarah Hawkins Of Greenville, Miss,
who carried a six-shooter and backed
him up against wall when he devel-
oped an antipathy to matrimony.
He met her through matrimonial
ad in a country journal, he testified.
He wrote, and Sarah sent him a photo
OF "movie" Aphrodite as her own.
The romance grew.
sIt was she who called me Hermes," !"
Finley testified, reaching for his cane.
"She said he was about the swiftest
fellow in history, and should copy
his speed in getting her heart.
II hurried down to Greenville and
met her. That was the blow. She
looked as much like Aphrodite as an
old, spawned horse looks like Man
q War.
