An EL HIS FUTURE SOLVED How Overturned Automobile Brought Good Luck to Young | Aspiring Athlete. i By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD-| RIDGE. “It won't do, Mr. Roy Sheldon,” spoke Farmer Turner with decision and force—“I'll encourage no idler to court my girl.” “But how can I help courting her when I love her so dearly and she is all the world to me?”’ challenged young Sheldon in his attractive irresistible way that won all hearts. “Consarn it! I like you, for all my | rough talk to you” exclaimed the | farmer bluntly. “I reckon everybody else does. You're a happy-go-lucky re- Hable accommodating young fellow, | but what about your future? It would be a shame to see a fine young fellow llke you, educated and brought up to a finish, hang around waiting for something to turn up and wasting precious time.” “My dear Mr, Turner,” spoke Roy ! gently, “you don't fairly understand | me. I came out into the country here for a brief vacation after I had gradu—x ated. I intended to go back and try . the business world in two weeks. I met Eugenie. The weeks have run in- to four, but believe me I have no'.l been wasting my time. I know what I ! want—an editorship—it's my specialty !

He felt rather proud of his ! athletic attainments. He had a right | to.

PAGR VLAEVEM It happened by chance. Roy was bound townwards on a mission for his new employer, road turned, a light automobile swift- ly curved into vlew, struck a depres- sion and flopped over into the ditch. Beneath it was the driver, a sickly faced delicate youth of about eighteen. Once he screamed. Roy darted for- | ward. A field hand near by scaled the fence, rake in hand. From beneath the car gone turtle there came groans and cries of help. Every moment the upset auto was pressing down, down into the soft, yielding mire, threatening to crush the lite out of the unfortunate victim pinned beneath it The fleld hand ran frantically at the edge of the machine and thrust the handle of his rake under it to lift it. The frail piece of wood splintered to kindling. Roy Sheldon fired up to the old ath- letic days. His coat was off in & litty. “Get ready to pull the man out,” he " directed swiftly. “Get him clear when I lift—quick.” “When you lift—" “This way—ready!” In no ordinary way could even their combined strength budge the over turned car. What Roy did was to creep under the slight free archway formed by the back of the chauffeur’s eeat. He could just squeeze in. He ! could just stand, stooping, hands on knees, feet planted like iron, elbows I and back slowly lifting under a etrain truly herculean. “Now!" shouted out Roy in a breath- less gasp, swaying crushingly under ! the terrific weight. Then as his blurred eyes saw the victim dragged out he essayed a dexterous side drop, and lay flat and exhausted on the ground, free of the upset machine himself except for one foot. That was crushed, wrenched and imprisoned under a wheel of the auto, The rescued young man was fright- ened and bruised, but able to get about. He ran for help and a neigh- boring farmer brought a vehicle, and the crippled Roy was retaoved to the Turner farm He learned that the you: was the =0 of a wealthy b living ten miles away, a Mr, M sUr | geon et Rov's injuresd 1 the young man left profuse i his grati Lt virds | eroie 1 il 30 [ s ogrand!” de el ( 1 i i t R ' Lo - automobile drove nj 1t contained the yvoun ni ( cned, and his father, It latter could no Roy for what L 1 rviled i | on i Clit for you o show n of your noble deed, ) 1 tint pl | lywa i ihli i the man of Wi Wi he future of Roy and Euzon nlted so pleasant! | that i s T old out h fare ) iy ith them in thei 1 the city ki il d Lugenie wer il ' (« by W.

Women and Waiting, It somctimes seems to me that this is an anguish in which we live and of which men know nothing. During the course of a long life every woman passes 80 many hours of still agony, when she must fold her hands and smile and wait. We cannot go out seeking the beloved, but must sit and wait until he comes. When you have had a misunderstanding it is not yours to run generously forward; you can't clap your hat on your head and say, “Here, I'll make an end to this; I'll go and find her.” No; you must sit waiting for the sound of his footsteps coming toward you; wait until your whole soul is tense, wait until each sound is part of his hope deferred. All women know this pain, and when our time of waiting for a sweetheart is over the sons we love go out in the world, and again we must sit still and wait for news of the traveler. We si and walt for our children to be born. through the long months, with the black certainty of the birth that may be death staring us in the face, I am sorry sometimes for all wom- en, and most of all for the impatient and tender spirits of young girls who meet this plan for the first time.— | Mary Heaton Vorse, in Woman's Hoxm.
