Postponing painting is like putting vif payment of taxes. You are only piling up expense. The wise man paints often, so that there is always a protecting film of paint between his house and the elements. The more durable the paint, the less often this must be done. ° The most durable paint in the world is Atlantic Whitz Lead Dutch Boy Trade Mar¥ and Pure Linseed Oil when mixed to suit the conditions of the wood. All good painters do it this way. Make sure that yours does it, too, and that he uses Dutch Boy white lead and linseed oil.

THY EVENING TELEGRAM ettt oo oo bbb By JOHN PHILIP ORTH. One day a big Newfoundland dog! in the sghade of a rock a hundred feet came to the house of Jed Barnes, in | the town of Royalton, and turned in at the gate. derer, and in search of a home. horse. It was summer time, and the dog passed around the house and entered the kitchen and took up a position under the table. Jed's wife was at the washtub and after looking at the dog a moment she burst out laugh- ing and said: “That dog hasn’t got the sense of & cabbage-head, or somebody has lied to him! He wants food and a home, and the idea that he should come here for them makes me grin!" Jed Barnes was the laziest man in the county, and it may be said in the same breath that his wife was the She worked for Jed. {that he had consumption, liver com- ! plaint, kidney trouble and three or | four other ailments that would be i sure to carry him off if he handled ax | or spade, and she believed him enough | to earn the living for two of them. It " was a poor living, and she smiled as she wondered what would be left for the dog. When Jed came home after his day’s ' loaf he did not kick the wanderer out ' doors, as expected. For the first time in his life he betrayed a streak of commercialism. “That dog has come from fifty miles away,” he sald. “His feet are sore, and he has had mighty little to eat for a week.” “And he’ll get mighty little here” said the wife. “I am not going to work for a man and a dog too.” “Don't you spile a good thing, Betty. After that dog's been fed up and got his houndin’ sneerite back he'll sell for $25 in cold cash.” “You can't iiean it, Jed!" “At least $25, and mebbe double that.” ‘And ! ean ect a new dress and a pair of shoes”” and « hat and other things. ever had! Jegt vou work day and night to help get the dog in shape.” The wife vas willing, and Jed did not have to curb his own appetite at all ished their meals there crusts left for the wife. She stood it for a time, however, and might have gone a couple of weeks more, but for Jed coming home and saying: “Darn my cats, but do you know what's happened?” “You've been offered a day's work!"” gasped the wife. “No, I ain't and if I had been I shouldn't take and dig my own grave. The feller that owns that dog 18 here after him!"” “Great snakes!" “Lives thirty miles away, and says a tramp coaxed the dog away. Heard | he was here and has come on to get him. Says I must give him up or he'll raise an awful row.” “And you'll give him up?” “No! I'm slowly but surely dyin’ of | twelve different ailments, but I'm a Let him find his dog if | game man. he can.” “What are you goin' to do?”" For answer Jed cut a piece off the clothes line and tied one end to a bat- tered old tin pail. The other he made fast to the tail of the dog after he had called him out of the house. Then a kick sent the wanderer away from his happy home and down the main street of the town. He ran for his life. Other dogs sought to overtake him and ask questions. Men and boys cried “mad dog!" and threw missiles at him. Down the long street and straight out in the country he ran and little did that dog know that Fate and Cupid were in the combination | with him. Three miles from the spot where Jed Barnes tied the old tin pail to the dog's tail and bade him disap- pear from the sight of a lazy man, dwelt farmer Rigsby. He had a daugh- ter, Irene, who had just returned from boarding school. ond wife, to whom he was married while the said daughter was away,‘ and who had no hint of the affair until about ready to return home. taken!" “I shall teach school in the town in | the fall.” “And until fall?” “1 shall have a tal a day or two “Your father was away to t with father in tcol to cend you educat and he cali i N B sum.

Young Mr. Flynt Farrers, tist | among the daisies, had passed 1hrou'gh that same gap in the ferce half f‘" hour ahead of the girl, and was lying away when she arrived. “By George!" he exclaimed as he raised up on one elbow. “Wonder who she i8?" he brought the other phy. " “Must be some one from town, was his conviction as he sat upP and squinted and peered. Miss Irene thought and thought, and her thoughts were 8o sad that she fin- ally fetched out her handkerchief te wipe her tears away. “Mother or father can’t be sick, or she wouldn't be out here” was the opinion of the young man behind her. More tears and an attitude of de- Jection, “Her feller has probably gone back on her. If he has, and if I can get his address, I'll punch his head!" Miss Irene leancd back against the *Ar.

One can't be sad unless she sighs, ' “Perhaps she got a letter from home ' this morning stating that her old dad had put all his wealth into an orange plantation in New Hampskhire, and the cold spell last week had frozen all the juice out of them. If I was the old man’s son-in-law I'd come to the res: cue with what I've got.

As the young man sprinted for it the tin-pan dog turned into the gap and sprinted for him. The way some object shin- ned up that tree must have made the dog wonder whether it was a . streak of greased lightning or the shadow of a passing cloud “Go back! Go back,” exclaimed a voice among the branches. “Who is it?" “It is 1, and you down and go away!" “I'll be hanged if—That is, are you the girl that was sitting below?"” “Yes." | "1 didn't kuow where you went. 1 don't want a mad dog in mine, and n came ol stuck commented Liave s0ine ud of dust draw aint shouts: a chorus ot barks way turn in Look out for the m-a-d must get right I'll stay for a few minutes.
