DENNY i “Going back home, are you Earl?”; inquired Clyde Forrest of his cousin. . “Yes,” came the sharp, somewhat' irritable response. “I'm going back to Dunham thoroughly cured of my’ { fancy for roving. I'll put what is left | of my $200"in the bank. I wish I | had never drawn it out. I'm going to buckle down to work and keep right on my old plodding sensible pro- gram. My high and lofty ideas have taken a drop, I can tell you!” Earl Rartley acted and felt some- what rufied. His story was a simple one. He had lived at Dunham all his life. His father had left him a small but steady real estate and insurance ¥, business. There were no big profits, West Side Mucn Park but the regular collection of rents for Phone 226, Prompt Del. clients and some notary public busi- WWW% ness resulted im a fairly good added — | income. . Earl “had a girl.” Mary Evans was pretty, popular, and, best of all, prac- tical. Earl earned enough to dress well and take Mary to the occasional entertainments Dunham afforded. His father had left him the family horse, | but slow and old now. Also a buggy| that had seen its best days. Mary! declared that she enjoyed a drive on a safe basis. Whenever some of the more fortunate young bloods of Dun- ham dashed by with their automo- biles, however, Earl felt chagrined and behind the times. “It's not justice to a nice girl like Mary to ask her out with slow poky old Dobbin,” ruminated Earl. “Wish I had an automobile. I could get around fast and double my business. Wish I was making more money.” ‘Then he had a visit from his cousin Clyde who lived at Rowland. That town was having a boom.

It took Earl a month to find out that whatever shere was of good property chances had been already cornered by wide-awake residents of the town. It took him another month to discov- er that the cause of the boom, the re- port that two large industries were going to locate at Rowland, was false. i The bottom of the boom fell out.

It was two miles from the home of his cousin to the railroad depot. Earl swung along the country road calcu- lating he had just time to reach the station for the last train of the day. As he made a turn in the road he was hailed loudly. | A well-dressed young man sat help- | lessly surveying a stalled automobile. One wheel was stuck in a rut. He presented a picture of frantic lnxlety| and nervous worry. { this way, won't you? has gone dead, I'm in a rut and I don’t know what to do.” “Why, get out and fix it,” advised Earl, a little nettled at the useless- ness exhibited by the owner of the auto. | My machine Fective August Ist, 1914 to Augustist, 5 and guaranteed against any reduction Fing that time.

I am Leslie Short. As I told you, I'm an in- valid and I was foolish to venture so far from home in my condition. This ends automobiling for me! If you will consent to drive me as far as Cory- don, you can get a train there to Dunham early this evening and I'll be glad to settle for your trouble.” “Never mind that end of it,” said Earl, and spirited up at the thought of seeing Mary that evening after all. During the next hour Earl learned that his companion was a whimsical young man of wealth, who fancied himself an invalid. The brusque, free energy of Eayl made his acquaintance quite companionable.

Flower and plant pots, as they nrel in their natural state, are'not suitable for all rooms, so they need putting in | better pots. This, of course, means | that we cannot have as many plants about as we should like, for nice pots are expensive. However, by a very simple device the ordinary plant pot can be so dccorated as to suit any room. In these days wallpapers are very artisiic and refined in coloring, and after the decoratcrs have beengQin a house there are always spare pieces of paper at hand. Choose the most suitable of these papers, 2and simply cover the pots with them, using ordinary paste. If the pot has a top rim, that should be done firs:, taking care that the pzj r lies qui.e flat. For sitting and bedrcoms a pretty sprig patterned paper looks very ainty; for a dining room 2 Jark embossed paper is effective. Stamps and scraps can, of course, be put to the same use. When the paper is quite dry on the pots, it should be brushed over with a varnish called white hard spirit var- observed. “Wish I had your splendid | nish; this gives a beautiful clear gloss physique and nerve, my friend,” and he spurted up the machine, quite |p|ensed at gaining courage from the proximity of Earl. Just at dusk they went whizzing by a farm house. Earl had turned on the reflectors and Short, quite roused up with his valiant efforts at the wheel, was putting on the speed when he suddenly drew back with a posi- tive scream. “Great heavens,” he gasped—"1 have killed somebody!"” Only a flashing glance Earl had of a prostrate figure in the middle of the road. Then the swift machine passed over it. There was an unearth- ly yell. Earl's flesh crept. Short had dropped away from the wheel and sat huddled back in the seat, his hands over his eyes and chattering madly in an excess of wild terror. If Earl had not seized the wheel just in the nick of time, the machir® would have gone over the side of the road to sure destruction. “Be a man!” he adjured his frantic companion and ran back the road. He returned almost instantly. “It was a dummy figure, a_ trick of the farm boys to scare race flends,” he explained. “Come, come, brace up!” he urged the abject, nerve-racked Short. “I can't—oh, this excitement will kill me!” chattered Short. “Get me out of this and I will never enter an automobile again. Please, pleu,uet ask the farm people to get a steady rig and drive me home! I'll pay any price.” “But the machine?” “Yours—take it, keep it. I vow nev- er to enter one again! If you don't take it, Il send my man after it and have it sunk in the river, I'm in earn- est. It's yours—oh, get me home!” And that is why Earl Bartley drove into Dunham that same evening the proud possessor of a two thousand dollar touring car. It built up his business as he planned, and there came an opportunity to sell some property for Mr. Short, which squared the deal. “And all our good fortune because you followed a kimily impulse to help a poor fellow in trouble!" said Mary gweetly the day they were married.

MAKING LIBRARIES OF USE How to Pluck a Turkey Only One of the Many Odd Requests That Are Made. Some notion of the queer requests made at public libraries is afforded in an article dealing with the library of a western city. These instances are given: Recently a man came in and asked for some of the arguments against woman suffrage. The proper articles were sought out, and the librarian sug- gested that he might care to look at those in favor of woman suffrage as ! well. “No matter,” he replied wearily. | “I get those from my wife.” to the paper, so much so that it will look like a china pot painted with' pretty flowers. This also preserves The widespread belief that a li- brary can furnish a book on any sub- ject, no matter how vague, is illus- trated by this request: “I have been asked to write a com- position on what I saw on my way to school today. Can you give me any books on it?” ‘Thus a boy in the eighth grade. And then there are the high school boys who, in a period of revolt from poetry, return the “Idylls of the King" and ask if they can’t get “this crazy stuff in prose.” Children about to participate in a debate cause some inconvenience. l The following subjects are not easy to give references on: “Which Is Nec- essarier, Water or Fire?” *“Which Is Mightier. the Pen or the Sword?” JACKSONVILLE.
