Huh—telephone! Who heard of such a thing in my young days? Gossip-breeders, I call ‘em! down the road with Farmer Moore's | house line The feeder will go \lp! there,” and he pointed among the: branches of thc old apple tree. “Oh, Ned!” cried Hetty, clasping her hands in ecstasy, “you—you don’t mean—" “That | am going to put a tele- phone especially for you up in that tree. Why, every evening we can talk over the line for hours, if we want to.” “You darling!” exuberated Hetty breathlessly. *“Oh, how fortunate it is. that you know all about tele-* phones!™ Worse than that—catering to laziness. | | Tried to get me to put one in my house. I'd like to see 'em! Now I've, said my say. Drop this beau, or m send you off a thousand miles to my | sister, where you can't see him.” Antiquated, narrow-minded Simon Barclay had invented a new name for the most estimable young man in Redfern. He hated all innovations, especially a telephone. There was a ‘reason. Simon had bargained too slowly in the purchase of a piece of property he coveted, a shrewd neigh- bor had got to a telephone and out- bid him. He hated telephones after ' that, and Ned Monroe in the bargain, i for was not that energetic young man 'the head linesman of the district tele- | phone plant? Hetty moped around the house all day. She was disconsolate. If ever a girl loved a bright intelligent young fellow, it was she. As to Ned, she FOBOFOEOPOFQASOFIOFOY | ypoy ‘that she was to him as the apple of his eye. She dreaded meet- < | ing him, but she was ioyal to a prom- ise she had made to her uncle that there would be no exchange of mnotes, no clandestine meetings. Hetty knew that promptly at 5:30 Ned would pass ! “It's He's an Electrical Maniac.” Because the old orchard road mear the farm. Fifteen minutes earlier she repaired to the old tree that had been to them a favorite trysting place. Ned came spinning along en his bicycle, not a moment late, a fine specimen of a healthy, buoyant young man interested and happy in his work. He swung a coil of wire and his tool bag to the road and was over the fence in a joyous leap. “Dear girl!” he said fondly, and then started at Hetty in alarm, for i she was weeping. Bit by bit the miserable story came ; out. He consoled her, he reiterated his love. He said nothing of revenge, elopement or discouragement. “Little lady,” he observed in his hopeful sanguine way, “all right! 1f I ean’t see you, I can keep on loving you, can't 1?” “Yes, yes,” murmured Hetty bro- kenly, “but L shan’t hear—those loy- ' Okeechobee Farms Can Have a You will find it unexcelled for general farming kinds of vgeuble- common to will grow at an amaz lots at (b fruit growing, i to MPH!.NM sheep and hogs can Thousands of Acres of Lake Okeocllobee Are Now Ready Investigate This W rate during the next few y: and ing and e i siches | “I'l be at my task bright and early tomorrow before your uncle is up and about,” planned Ned. “Come here to- morrow evening, climb up in the tree.| There's a comfortable seat on the sec- ond branch.

Her uncle supposed she was go- ing to visit the daughter of the farm- er just next to them. Hetty had no- ticed him standing at the door of the )ho\lae the last evening of the three, | watching her till she was out of sight. !

She had climbed into the tree and had herself comfprtably disposed, ; when she was startled by a low quick whistle. A man 8ame over the fence, rough looking and sinister. He stood directly beneath her leafy shelter. It was he who had uttered the whistle and in a few moments a com- rade of the same type slouched into view. “Well, how's the outlook?” queried the first comer. “Capital.” “Girl gone?” “Half an hour ugo" i “And the old man?” | “In the room where his safe is, all alone. There's a rich haul, partner. Come on.” | “Mercy!” gasped the startled Hetty, as the two strangers disappeared in the direction of the farm house. “They are going to rob uncle!” « Her wits worked quick. She was aware that the men folks on the next i farm were not at home. Then bright ideca occurred to her. She snatched free the receiver of the tele- phone. | “X.X"—oh, quick, please! she breathed frantically. And then as the connection was made: “Oh, Ned! come quick, with help. There are two burglars here who are going to rob uncle!” “Will they never come?”’ she cried, standing out in the road and looking townwards. Then her heart took hope. Two distant sparks grew brighter, the lamps of a speeding automobile. Then she could hear the chug-chug of the flying machine. She ran out into the road and waved her ' neck scarf. Two town officers accompanied her lover. One guarded the front door of the house as they reached it. Ned and the other man went around to the porch that opened into the office of old Simon. “Just in time!” announced Ned, and he and the offcer sprang into the room.

His Important Medical Discovery Should Be Recorded in His Memorial. ; There has been a suggestion that in a memorial to Dr. Oliver Wendell | Holmes some werthy recognition be | made of his incomparable service lu‘ mankind in the discovery and propaga- | tion against obstacles that would have | deterred a less honest and sympa- | thetic mind of the contagiousness of | |i* Lay | |F childbed fever and its remedy. ' persons and unfortunately many in the profession are unaware of this epoch-making discovery by a man whose memory is beloved and hon- ored for his literary attainments only. A discease which consigned thousands of recent mothers to un- timely graves was suddenly deprived of its malign prevalence by the dis- covery of Doctor Holmes that it was | contracted by contact with the doc- tor or nurse and that simple precau- tions by them would prevent its oc- Persecited in his own by the ridicule of great pro- ,or»z in that specialty, Holmes pur- | sued the even tenor of his way until | his idea was accepted in England. Thence it was carried to the con- t'nent, where it was taken up by a Hungarian physiclan who reduced the | | mortality in the Vienna hospitals enor- | , mously. To the latter his eounlrymen | | have erected a monument in Buda- I pest, and annually homage is paid to his memory, while Holmes is barely remembered in the United States for said he valued more highly than his literary fame. e | Reason cannot show itself more reasonable than to cease reasoning on , | things above reason.-—-Sir P, Sidney. | At Last He Found It.
