He pretended to be per- fecting his fire escape invention, but in truth was thinking of his lady love most of the time. One afternoon just as he entered the garden a vivid scream caused him to hasten to join Ethel and Mrs. Oakes, who were rushing distractedly towards the loose board covering of an old well. “My child! My child! She went down there!” and the lady pointed to the yawning hole and fainted away. In a flash Adrian had affixed the hook of his device to the well curb and was over its edge. Ten feet down, startled but not even stunned, he found the little child seated on a pile of straw that had been thrown into the well at some time or other. Adrian regained the garden level shouting out that the little one was safe. He placed the child on the grass. “Pretty—pretty!” she lisped, in one chubby hand holding several bright coins. They revived Mrs. Oakes. Then Adrian, wondering if they had not dis- covered Mr. Lyndon’s missing wealth, made another descent into the well. And there the hidden hoard of the old miser was found. And then, as it thie was a veritable wishing well, Adrian told his love to Ethel—and was ! accepted. “He’s falling!” It Was Hard to Forget Her. alias “Wheels,” had dabbled in all kinde of experiments, Adrian had a small estate left him by his mother. Ethel depended on her aged and somewhat whimsical grand- father. She was his favorite and the other heirs expectant hated her for it.' “Let 'em, my dear!” old Luke Lyn-, don used to chuckle. “I've got all m ‘ T fortune in cash and jewels.

PAGE SEVEN e ———— e — GETTING HIM STARTED By GRACE HOGE. Skelly emitted a sound like that of an unmuffied motor. Then he slammed down his glass and gasped like a fish out of water. “I'll be dodgasted .if I will!” said he. Mrs. Sriily did no! move an eye lash. “vhe class meets at the Finches,” she procecded, “and your Tuxedo will be all richt.” “Dancing class at :y age!” Skelly roared. “Why not n.arbles? Me tie myself up in bowknots doing the tango when I ought to a dandling my grar dchildren on my Imnee telling the a stories of the war--" “You haven't any grandchilar. n,and as your son is only fourie don't have to worry about that ¢ while,” remarked Mrs. Skelly. “And there is no sense in our being back numbers when every one else is do- ing such things. And I want to learn the one-step tonight. It is great fun. Besides, 1 promised that I'd join.” “Why did I ever get married?" Skel- ly demanded hotly of the chiffonier, as he incased himself in the Tuxedo. “Why dcesn't a man ever appreciate his freedom when he has it, 7'd like to know? Why didn't I stay down town with Peweft vwhen he askod me, instead of co:ming Lome tc pass a happy evening in the bosom of my family? Dragged out of my comfort- able chair to make an idiot of my- self—" “The electric has come,” said Mrs. Skelly, peering from the window. “Come along, Arthur.” “What chance has a man got, any- how?' Skelly demanded furiously of five other men in the dressing room at the Finches. “No chance at all!” The other five agreed tumultuously and gloomily, “I feel like a fool,” Skelly said, as they surged in before the teacher with their wives. “I think age should be dignified. Any pictures of the tango that I've seen show the people climbing chandeliers or sliding on their shoulder blades. I put it to I want step!” “Anybody with sense could do the drag step without being shown,” growled Finch. “If you think this one- step is so hard whatchu going to do when it comes to the tango? There are 64 steps and I bet you never learn ‘em!” “Bet I do!" said Skelly warmly. “I don’t know that you and the others have anything on me when it comes to a simple matter of memory! Why, I was the best dancer in the crowd when I was a boy! Took up every new dance the minute it came out, and I guess these new fangled things aren’t so very different from the old! Learn 'em? Pooh! Bet I get the tan- go down before you and the other fellows have had time to cross your feet once! And at that I'll bet you'll cross 'em the wrong way!” “Oh, stow your brag!” said Finch. “Watch me! Light on my feet— what?" her to show me the drag “Can't learn it! Pooh!" Skelly said to Mrs. Skelly on the way home. “Why, did you hear what Miss Grippy said to me? Said I was getting the one- step better than any one else in the class! Isn't there another lesson for a week? I think that's too long a time to wait. Don’t you? Say, Emily, what are you laughing at?” Wireless Waves Bother Birds. Wireless telegraphy has done much for us, and probably—or rather, surely, will—do a great deal more for the benefit of humanity at large. But, it they could speak. many birds would probably tell you that they don’t ap- prove of this new invention in the least. For in the parts of the world where there are a large number of wireless stations observations have been made which seem to indicate that birds are disturbed in a very curious way by the wireless waves. The un- offending seagull is one of the chiet sufferers, as also is the harmless dove. This strange state of things is attributed in some way to an effect of the ether waves, though how it is brought about is not yet understood.— Answers. Charming Accessories. you, Emily, would I look well sliding on my shoulder blades? Would you like to have our son see me doing it?” “Miss Grippy,” interposed Mrs. Skel- ly sweetly at this point in the mono- logue, “my husband, Mr. Skelly.” “Some looker,” commented Skelly, with a show of interest. “Is she to teach us? Why didn't you intimate something to that effect sooner? Cracking good ankles, hasn't she—" “Arthur,” said Mrs. Skelly severely, “you're supposed to be listening to what she's saying!" “All speech is not verbal,” insisted Skelly. “What's that she is saying about a grapevine? It sounds compli- cated.” The rest of the class managed to master the grapevine step shortly, but Skelly had a terrible time. It was necessary for Miss Grippy to give him a special, personal lesson twice be- fore he permitted the class to go on to the second movement of the one- step. “One-two-three-four,” he gasped to Mrs. Skelly. “Are there curls flowing It is the accessories of this suit that are most interesting—although the suit of blue linen is smart, but it is the charming parasol of poret silk, indry ever for giving you high grade Laundry Work. #¢#0e0eneq’ PHONE 1 50 AL Ll L X 348 Black Res.

Both these yards were closed in 1869. Chatham was founded in the stir- ring times of Elizabeth, and was for' long the headquarters of the navy.
