 But now l realized that as l had felt no emotional resentment against Dirky for his hoorishucss toward my plans for his runaway niece, 30 there was no rapturOus joy--as oI old--in his conlritc love making, His carcsses were not reprllCnt 10 me, and an indolcni, careless sort of re- lief was mine that his mood was q commentators. not q captious one.

She was curled up on the win dow seat. swinging one foot and eat ing her second apple, hut as l came in I noticed that all movement of her muscles was suddenly arrested.

 How thoroughly she deserved a shaking, or q more severe chastise- ment. I reflected, as I looked at her piquant face and her 1.-the figure with rebellion in every line, and thought of the love and care which her uncle and aunt had layishod upon her and her brothers. Yet somehow I could find no condemna- ton for her in my heart.

Quite a severe wind and hail storm
| passed over our community Monday
of this week., but no serious damage
resulted so far as can be ascertained.

Mr.. William Ewing and family, of
Mountain Lake Park land Mr.. Joe De-
Berry and family, of Oakland, were
Sunday visitors at the home of Mr..

Another school year is drawing to
Ia close, much to the regret of both
teacher and pupils. Miss Jane Han

the local school and deserves much
credit for the past successful school
term.
Miss Ruth Fearer is spending few
| days this week with her grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Glover, at
Friendsville.
The members of the M. E. Sunday
school at Hoyes are preparing a pro-
gram to be rendered on Children's
Day, which service will be held some
time during the present month. We
approve very much of these services,

CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
AN ITCHING NOSE
By H. IRVING KING

THE idea that an itching nose means
= that company is coming" or -
stranger is coming is now merely
common and widespread superstition.
But it was not always thus. There
was a time when the nose actually
announced the coming Of company or
a stranger, not by itching, 1t is true,
but by the exercise of those keen
olfactory powers which 1t possessed
in the days of our primitive ancestors.
Scientists tell us that primitive
mans organs Of smell were so well
developed in acuteness and kept
sharp by constant use that his olfac-
tory powers were equal, If not supe-
rior, to those possessed today by the
lower animals remarkable for their
gift of scent. Many tribes of savages
retain to this day extraordinary pow
ers in this respect Mr.. Caveman was,
in all probability, rather high
scented creature and when he went
with a party of friends to visit the
dwelling of Mr.. Cliffdweller, If the
wind was right, that gentleman could
smell him coming long way of, just
as many Of the lower animals today
snuff the tainted gale" and become
aware Of the approach of their enc
mics before they can see them Civil
lization has caused the sense Of smell
to become atrophied in modern man
but though the nose has lost It's
power it has retained its reputation
by means Of a popular superstition.

People noticed that the stranger
looked as If he had Travelled long
distance. And he had a nail-pouch
slung over his back. Furthermore,
he was enough like Riddle and Leap
er to be a cousin of either one of
them.
4 person couldn't see his horns, on
account Of the hat that he wore.
When this traveller asked about the
dispute, everybody fastened to ex-
plain the dlafrel to him
He listened cafefu1ly, and when he
had heard the whole story he Said,
'FThfs message do yon k1ow where
1t is3 20 you know who has It how?"
"NoF Leaper the Locust cried,
while Kiddie Katydid echoed the word.
sab! / thought notr said the
stranger, IT thought non, because I
have Il In this mailbag. And now
must confess that I'm puzzled myself;
for I don't know which one it's in
tended for" And he pulled off his
hat and began tanning himself with
1t.
1t was perfectly plain to everyone
that he was sadly perplexed.
Then Leaper the Locust gave
great shout.
you're Short-horn !" he ex-
claimed. ut can't be that you would
have message for person with
;egu IL
full finger at poor Kiddie Katydid.
One glance at the strangers head
now that he had removed his hat
told everybody that Leaper the Lo-
Gust was not mistaken.
The strangers horns were short.
There was no denying that fact.
II believe you must be the Mr..
Grasshopper I'm looking for" said
the stranger.
Then he put his hand inside his
mail-pouch and pulled out letter.
Leaper the Locust made a sudden
jump for the massage. But he was
so eager that he sprang too far. He
sailed far over the strangers head
and landed some distance away.
'Hullo! He doesn't want it !" said
the stranger. ut must be for you :"
And he showed the message into Kid
die Katydid's willing hands.
Almost Immediately Leaper the Lo-
Gust jumped back again.
But, of course, he was too late.
