A BIT SHAKEN UP| o e o How Margery Brown Met Widow Brown took him into the the house and placed the spare room at his disposal. In a few minutes he Knight of Her Day-Dreams. | came into the kitchen where Margery 8y W.

I can thank you for your kindness and walk from the modest little cottage where she and her widowed mt.lurl lived in frugal comfort. She swung a tin pail gaily in time to a merry song she was humming. Widow Brown, standing in the door way, her eyes alight with tender af- fection, watched the girl as she un- latched the gate and stepped out im- to the dusty road. “Be careful of the automobiles, Mar gory,” she warned. Margery turned and waved the pail. “I'll be careful, mother; don't worry,” she called back reassuringly. “Come back early, dear.” “All right, mother.” As far back as she could remember in the eighteen years of her life, Mar- gery Brown's greatest pleasure was to go picknicking by herself. Carry- ing a tin pafl well stocked with slices of delicious home-made bread with sweet yellow butter, ponderous sugar- cookies and mellow red apples, she would go to her favorite spot in a patch of green woods a half mile from the cottage. There, she would spend the day upon the cool grass; a child of nature, singing with birds that flew about her head undismayed, and playing with a tiny red squirrel she had tamed. Towards dusk, she would returr home, glorying in the beauty of the descending sun, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living. Today, she pensive than usual. was in her soft blue eyes, and a tender smile upon her lips. A most wonderful book by chance had fallen into her hands, left by a peddler | ostensibly as a gift to Margery but in reality as payment for the generous meal for which the kindly and hospi- table Widow Brown refused to accept { money. It was a most wonderful book, indeed. It told all about the fair ladies and dashing knights of old. Filled with the romance of those by- gone days; and wishing in her secret heart that a knight in armor upon a mailclad steed would dash up and carry her uff, breathless and af- frighted, yet happy, Margery walked slowly along until she reached the woods. She sought out a resting place —a velvety expanse of short-cropped grass beside a tiny brook that sang and gurgled musically. She gave her- self up to the quiet spirit of the per- fect June day. The drone of bees and the purling of the little stream lulled her Into a drowsiness which soon caused her to fall asleep. 8he awoke with a start. A furious noise broke the stiliness about her. was more quiet and The dream-light she thought that the knight of whom she had been dreaming had really come, and that the sound she heard was the clatter of his horse’s hoofs. But she roon realized it was not like and she became frightened. The sound came from high up in the alr—a continuous rattle, sharp and penetrating. Suddenly, it ceased. In the silence that followed, she heard her, and the swishing of the foliage as the treetops were violently agita. ted. Then came a crash on the outer edge of the woods, Margery sprang up and ran to the fleld beyond. There she saw a tan- gled mass of wires and sticks and canvas. She hastened to the wreck- age, then pansed in fright, her face blanched. Underneath what was left of the aeroplane lay a man, a trickle of blood across his forehead. With a gasp of horror, the girl tried to re- lease him; but she could not move the pieces of wire that held him fast. She abandoned the attempt, see- | ing how useless it was, and ran back to where the pail with water. Hurryln‘ to the unconscious man, she dashed the wa- ter into his face. He stirred uneasily, then opened his eyes, “Are you hurt dadly?" asked Mar —— | gery anxiously. Where Can You Get Them? Here at this drug store.

Thanks,” he con tinued, as Margery tumbled an arm ful of tools within his reach. With a few swift cuts, the aviator severed the wires that held him. He drew himself out of the wreck care fully and got to his feet. He was somewhat unstezdy, but pulled himself mgether in a moment or so. “No bones broken,” he announced. “Just & bit shaken up, that's all. s there a telephone anywhere around?” “Jim Baker has one: about a mile from here,” replicd Margery. “But you must come to the house, and let mother fix up the cut on your face.” They walked in silence to the Brown ecttage. She saw them coming v the road, and ran anxio to the zate “What has happencd?” che cricd as eoon as her daughter : vl the aviator were within hearing distance, “This gentleman has fallen out of his airship, and he's badly hurt ! Hurry, mother, and get your llnlmenua ready,” explained Margery. “I'm afraid your daughter has exag. gerated the sericusness of my wounds, madam. There are a few cuts and bruises,” the aviator reassured her. For & moment, half asleep as she was, | anything she had ever heard before, ! the rush of a mighty object just above | the first-aid-to-the-injured service ren- dered so promptly by your daughter. Won't you tell me who you are? Some day I may be able to show my| ¢ appreciation.” The Widow Brown introduced her self and Margery. Mrs. Browa in- sisted upon having the young man stay at tea; an invitation which he lost no time in accepting. During the meal, he entertained his hostess and her daughter with ling stories of his aeroplane flights. time flew so rapidly that dusk had fallen before any of them realized the lateness of the hour. “Really, I must be going,” an- nounced Durant. “I fear I have al ready outstayed my welcome. Be- sides, my men at the hangar are prob- ably scouring the country to find me, and think I have been killed." He paused on the steps, and ex- pressed his admiration of the crim- son rambler that hid the cottage be- hind a blazing curtain, “My I have a rose as a—a remem- brance, Miss Brown?" he asked. “Would you really care for one?’ said Margery. “Better than anything l know of,” he replied. Margery broke oft a tender flower, and with trembling hands placed it in the coat of the young aviator. “Thank you—very much—and good- bye,” said Durant, lifting his cap, and striding away hurriedly. Margery watched him until his broad shoulders melted into the sur- rounding dark. There was a new and tender light in her eyes as she slowly entered the cottage. Three months passed, and the whole country rang with the exploits of Ar- thur Durant, the greatest and most ! daring aviator that ever guided an aeroplane across the heavens. But he had made a higher and more last- ing conquest than that of the air. Not many days passed after that first afternoon in June until he had visited the cottage of the \Widow Brown. And on each occasion, with trembling little hands, Margery Brown placed a rose in his coat when he went away. One evening she placed something else in his keeping for all time—her heart. And tomorrow would be the wedding day! Bright and ecarly Margery was up, flitting here and there about the dear old cottage to say farewell to her girl- hood and the simple homely tblngs that had made it so happy. The | Widow Brown bravely kept back the her aching heart, At high noon a graceful aeroplane lightly to rest in a field near the cot- tage. Arthur Durant stepped out of the 'plane and caught Margery in his arms as she ran to him eageriy. “My Crimson Rambler,” he mur mured, as he Kissed her, And as they «ailed away in the aero in dainty red letters the name of the flower the man and the girl both loved 80 well, Margery snuggled close to her lover and sighed happily. “My knight,” she said softly. “The Kknight of my day-dre..ms.” (Copyright, 1113, hy the MeClure Newse Paper Syndicate.) Extracting the Principle of Plants. A new method of obtaining the ac- tive principles of plants in the state in which they exist in the fresh plant is used with success by the French | sclentists, Prof. Perrot. By his means he obtains extracts of a different na- ture from what are given in the usu- al processes where dried plants are employed. Such extracts can be used | to great advantage, as they contain | the active principles of the plants in glucosides and diastases are preserved in their complex combinations just as . they existed in the cells of the plant, and under this form it is found that their action on the human body is identical with that of the fresh plant. Such combinations are rendered sta- ble by treating the sterilized powder of the freshly dried plant by alcohol 80 a8 to make an extract. This is then evaporated in vacuo and then freed from from fatty matted, waz, or resin, then dried by a cold process. Such extracts are soluble in water. He'd Quite Forgotten, The bachelor-about-town, after a ! night out with some live wires in his | set, had managed somehow to find his home. But he could not sleep because of a splitting headache. He summoned his valet and asked for something to straighten him out. | The valet mixed a certain drink, then prescribed a walk of half an hour, | with another of the certain drink to | follow it. The bachelor took the prescription, and feeling refreshed, asked his valet | what was the biggest tip he had ever received. { After hemming and hawing for . moment the valet, swallowing hard replied: “One hundied dollars, sir.” The bachelor thereupon gave him a check for two hundred. Next morning the bachelor sajq m his valet: “By the way, Alphonse, what idiot gave you that hundred dollars?" “You did, sir,” replied the valet, “when you first came home last night” tears, and a quiet, motherly smile hid | | The Hiome of Hast Schaffner,& Marx Clothes | swooped swiftly down, and skimmed ' (The Hub JOSEPH LeVAY plane, upon whose wings was painted !
