I suppose it is human nature to be interested in the misfortunes of our fellow-beings, and that excuses the interest that everybody in Merivale took in Jenny Walsh. It was not ani- mated by any spirit of unkindness— but we all wanted to see how Jenny would take it. Frank Stockleigh and his bride were coming back to Merivale. Jenny had been pretty once. That was fen years before. She wasn't much to look at now, though some thought that she had charm. But charm doesn’t last much beyond thir- ty-five. At least, I'll qualify that by relating what our mayor, Doc. Will- iams, said. After thirty-five, he gaid, a woman must have matronly charm, because the girlish charm has grown stale. That bore out his reputation as the village wiseacre. And Jenny was still slim and girlish, but she was growing into a middle-aged woman. Yet it didn’'t seem so long since ! Frank had been madly in love with her. She was a light-hearted girl in those days. She had known Frank since they were children—but she re- jected him. Nobody exactly knew why, some thought she was in love with ne'er-do-well Jim Furber. Any- way, Frank Stockleigh went West, and now he was returning, the owner of the Montana copper mine and a mil- lionaire several times over. He had bought Squire Gray’s house, and an- nounced that he and his wife were coming back to make Merivale their home. He and his wife! He had married a Montana girl, and that was one of the things we wanted to know how Jenny would take. It does need courage for a maiden lady of thirty- Stood Up and Tried to Speak. five, in not very flourishing circum- stances, to look her rejected lover in the face when he comes home with a wife and several millions of dollars as well. Especlally when people thought she had been in love with Jim Furber, who was serving a ten years’ sentence in the penitentiary for stealing fifty thousand dollars from the bank that | Nobody knew for | certain that Jenny had cared for Jim | had employed him. —but anyway, there he was, shut up | behind prison walls for a goodish part ; if his working life. Would Jenny go to the train? were frankly curious. We wanted to be there when Jenny met Frank. There was to be a town welcome, and a spread for the homecomer and his wife in Doc. Williams’ house, Yes, Jenny was going to the station. The whole of Merivale's inhabitants had gone trooping down, and all the offices were closed. often a millionaire comes to Merivale to settle down. And we had never had a millionaire before who went out of the village a penniless youth. Jenny and Frank—that was the ab- sorbing problem. When we heard she was going, nothing could have re- strained us. It seemed endless, that waiting, but We at last the train steamed in. Frank and | his wife were in the front carriage. He jumped down like a boy, and swung a pretty, buxom lady to her feet, and stood staring at the crowd. Then he gave a whoop and stretched out his hand to the mayor. “My, but I'm glad to see you!" he yelled. “Don't tell me you're not Pete Williams—red-headed Pete who used | to go fishing with me? Add welcome? What, Mayor Pete And Doctor Williams! Catch somebody!” Then he presented Doc to his wife, and soon we were all thror h the couple and giving them the me, welcome in Merivale. And J y? Jenny was blushing like a schoolgirl. And, before anybody knew what was a issed Frank, had kissed Mrs. Frank, Frank had kissed her too and Mrs. We were all so excited about this | that nobody noticed the thin, tired- looking man with the closely cropped { hair who had got out of the same coach, and now stood behind Frank Stockleigh, his eyes roaming restless- | ly about until they lit on Jenny's. But suddenly Jenny sprang forward, and You see, it isn't | ELAND, FLA., JULY 22, 1914. | in a moment the thin man had her in | B T0 NERNALE his arms, and she was crylng upon his shoulder, and then they began kissing each other right in front of the crowd. There was a sort of universal gasp of stupefaction. Frank Stockleigh | cleared his throat—and then he wasn't only at Jenny Walsh and the thin man, who was still hugging her. The gasp was succeeded by a breath- less silence. Then Mayor Williams peered hard into the thin man’s face; and suddenly he cried: “Jim Furber, as I am alive!” He spun round, and Jenny too, and she was looking at us with a kind of gentle deflance in her eyes; and they were holding each other's hands. “Why, I thought you were—I thought you were—" stammered Doc. Will- fams, and that was as far as he could get. He couldn’t exactly tell him he thought he was in prison; and yet the surprise of Jim's reappearance, and his appearance in Frank’'s company, made the mayor forget himself. “Yes, I was,” answered Jim, looking at him with the blinking gaze of & man who hasn’t been in the free alr as much as he should have been. “I was in the penitentiary eight years. But—" And he broke off in a sort of chok- i ing sob, and Jenny linked her arm through his. And then, for once Mayor Willlams did the right thing. leigh are going to be my guests at | dinner,” he said. “So come along all | of you—straight up to the house. And you, of course, Miss Jenny,” he con- tinued. But it was not until the dinner was over that the mystery was explained, cleared it up. something in his tone which checked ! the air of jollity, “I am bringing back to you not only my wife”—here he bowed toward her—“but also your fellow-citizen, Mr. Furber. ably know the sad circumstances con- nected with his disappearance. me say that after elght years’ impris- onment his innocence has been proved by the confession of a dying man. By his own desire, Mr. Furber has preferred to remain under a stigma rather than drag the name of the dead man’s relatives Into publicity. You cannot give him back those eight years, but you can take him into your hearts—" In a moment every man there, and ' every woman, too, was crowding around Jim, shaking his hand, and T | think in that moment the memory of those eight years fell from his mind and he became a normal man again. He stood up and tried to speak. After several attempts he found his voice. “Thanks to Frank Stockleigh,” he | said. “It was he, gentlemen, who dis- covered what had happened to me and traveled East and spent thousands of dollars proving my innocence. And I ask you'to drink to—drink to Frank and his bride and—and my wife, whom you know as Miss Walsh. You see,” he added, choking more and more, “we were—married—when I—I—wag In—prison—eight years ago.” (Copyright, 1914, by W. G.

He is fond of endives, French beans, and carrots, Another puppy is exceedingly fond of bananas, but the record-breaker is a bulldog, whose diet includes ap- ples, oranges, bananas, grapes and | tomatoes, “At the sight of an orange being peeled,” says the dog's mistress, “his mouth waters to such an extent that it is almost pathetic, besides being extremely bad for the carpet! His particular passion is for grapes, which are given to him daily by a greengrocer, whose store he refuses to pass until he has been in and had his usual supply.” Rhythm of Work, Rhythmic noises or motions in par ticular have decided effects on the efficiency of the worker. Unconscious- ly he will speed up or slow down so | that his own motions will in some way synchronize with the rhythmic pulsut"- ing.

If you concentrate on your wrist move- ment you will find after a moment or two that your jaw will work in syn- | chronism. And if through the func- tion of the will you make the two | motions independently of each other, within a greater or less time some- | thing will slip and you will either slash your strop or do something in your mouth that will draw blood.— The Engineering Magazine. i — Quall Are the Farmer’s Ald, The chinch bug costs the farmers of | the United States at least $100,000,000 | a year.
