The houses had been an inheritance from his Uncle Peterby and the income from the half dozen little cottages had been an addition Ito his income. Of course, the prop- erty was sadly out of repair and a 'xreat deal of money had been spent upon it, still the agent had made many complaints about dissatisfied tenants. Jay reread the letter. “About this Widow Dow,” said the agent, “she lives in the last cottage at the very edge of the woods, and she says that some of the trees should ' be cut down because the shade makes | ker place damp. ‘I tell you she ought i not to make complaints when she is ! behind with her rent—" { “Pshaw!” muttered Jay, thrusting the letter into his pocket. “I'll run down there myself and have it out with Mrs. Dow.” The next day, quite unknown to Agent Green, Jay Dickson alighted | from the train at the Dorilton sta- tion and took a short cut tbrough the l woods to reach his property. He was not prepared for the huge black woman who waddled across the garden with a heavy foot. Her woolly | hair was tied up in a snowy turban and her white gown was immaculate. “Are you Mrs, Dow?” asked Jay. The woman looked at him shrewdly. “l am Amada Dow,” she admitted. “Mr. Green wrote to me about you, Mrs. Dow; he said you wanted some trees cut down. I will see him about the matter.” Jay, puzzled at finding his agent had rented one of the cottages to other than white people, pursued his | way through the street toward the agent's office. Near his destination he was just in time to snaich a young woman from under the wheels of a racing automobile.

His hostess blushed, showing that she was aware of the operation as it had progressed. He drew his chair closer to her own, and she did not seem to object. “Now, how do you think they really , belong?” he submitted. “Won't you show me? Shall we say this way?”’ and ne deliberately moved them di-| rectly side by side. “I—1 like to see them together, yes,” | she fluttered, shyly as some school- ! girl. “Let you and I follow their exam- ple,” suggested the professor, grown bold and happy all in a flash, and he drew her to a true lover's embrace. (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) The Minister and the Steak. The following incident related by Norman Duncan, author of “Higgins, a late Rev. Francis E. Higgins gained such influence among the lumberjacks. “Boys,” he once sald to them, “I'll never forget a porterhouse steak I saw once. I'm a big man, you know, and when I get hungry I'm hungry. You know how they fix those windows up— a chunk of ice and some lettuce and a steak or two. Well, boys, all at once I got g0 hungry that I ached. I could hardly wait to get in there. But I stopped. ‘Look here, Higgins,’ thought I, ‘what if you didn't have a cent; what if you were a dead broke lumber- jack and hungry like this?” Boys, it frightened me. I understood just what those poor fellows suffer. And I couldn’t go in the restaurant until 1 had got square with them. ‘Look here, Higgins,’ I thought, ‘the best thing you can do is to go and find a hungry | lumberjack somewhere and feed him.' | And T did, too; and I tell you, boys, 1 enjoyed my dinner.” Nelson and Villeneuve. When Nelson fell at Trafalgar he was only forty-seven years old, and the French commander, Admiral de Villencuve, was only forty-two. The latter was a brilliant sailor, who had already fought against Nelson, and he thoroughly realized what the English tactics were going to be on this oc- casion. Indeed, he held a meeting of the captains of the allied fleet and lu- ¢idly explained them. Nelson would not, he said, form a line of battle paral- lel with the allied line. “He will seek to pierce our line, surround our rear and overpower with groups of his ves- sels as many of ours as he can cut oft.” Still, although prepared for this form of attack, Villeneuve failed to re- sist it, and he was taken prisoner, bit- terly regretting that no shot had dealt bim the same fate as Nelson. ———— Ingenious Youngster. | A little boy came near getting a | 800d spanking for answering his father in a pert tu,htuupedbynm “When you were a small boy, dad, didn’t you ever get exeited and say ! the wrong thing?” Stickers. l The great difference between a pub- lic servant and a domestic servant is that the public servant would not re- sign even under fire.—Louisville Cour- fer-Journal. | any other chap,” she said, “for there H i stairs, where the village doctor ar- rived in a few moments. .

The doctor came down and epoke to him. “Her arm is broken,” he sald. ng arm,” sniffed Amada, s she went out. “Mrs. Dow is an artist,” explained the doctor in a low tene. “She's been having hard sledding, I understand. and I gucss losing the use of her right hand for many weeks won't help any.” “I am Jay Dickeon, the owner ot these cottages. 1 came down to see Mrs. Dow,” explained Jay, feeling un- reasonably elated because his divinity was the Widow Dow—uxd free! Strangely contented at the outcome of affairs, this most impractical of landlords proceeded to visit his other tenants in the row, and with them planned to make such improvements in the cottages and grounds as would justify a change in the name of the place. In the course of time it was trans- formed into Rose Ter: e, and it was due to the good taste of the Widow Dow, who ,acted as Jay’'s adviser in the matter of improvements, During her convalescence the Widow Dow went to drive in Jay's big automobile, while Amada sat, a mountain of swelling pride, in the tonneau. Green, the agent, was pleasantly shocked to receive a generous check when his employer was married. He never really krew what it was for, but Jay explained to his lovely bride: “If it hadn’t been for Green's com- plaining letter I'd never have gone some other chap might have won her first.” But the widow only laughed in her delightful way “There couldn't possibly have been is only one you, you know.” And Jay Dickson was supremely contented with this very lucid ex- planation.
