+ +. + '.+-V+ ; .'4 : BETWIXT DAD* : AND JOE I + By JOHN SEATON BLAIK * Copyrit/ht, 19oS, bu T. C. McClure ♦ i No one around the frontier town of Lewisburg knew much of Dr. Davy. He had come into the locality without ostentation, taken up a claim four miles away and built a sod house, half above and half below ground. For a year he had dwelt there alone and had only come into tow n once a fortnight for provisions. He was called doctor because he was a doctor, though not seeking to plj his art, and 110 one was able to say just how his title came to be known. His next neighbor was a mile away, and travelers who stopped at his house for a drink of water or to inquire the way were treated with scant courtesy. There was considera ble gossip about the stranger, and many people shook their heads and whisper ed that the officers of the law would turn up in search of him some tine day, but after awhile, as nothing was heard against hiin, he was put down as a re cluse and left undisturbed. It was a year or more after Dr. Le vy's appearance that he came to tow n o::e t veniug to meet a young woman v ho stepped oiT the train from the >-ast. The family resemblance was so marked that it was agreed by all that 1. > comer was his daughter. She was hurried away as if the father fear ed to let the townspeople get sight of her. but it had needed only a glance to show that she was good looking and •bout twenty years of age. Her com ic •. i I th" gossip, but as she was 1 in town during the next three i: <•: .sh • was iu time forgotten by all w i.a one exception. That exception was young Joe Taylor, who had been 11.ad >'.ieriff of the county a year be fore and who w as being talked of as a < ndidate for the legislature. He had only to accept a nomination to be elect ed. as he was a general favorite with ail. He made it his business while scouting the country for horse thieves to call at the Davy cabin, and he was t!;•■ hrst and about the only one to see the daughter Mollie in lier own home and • > be hospitably received by the If he had any curiosity to gratify as an officer of the law he was disap- A RIFLE CRACKED, AND HE PITCHED FOR WARD O.V THE (Jit ASS. pointed. The doctor was free to talk, but not about himself nor his past. He was made welcome by the daughter. ) but lie eould not ijuestion her as a suspect. He called three or four times "by accident," but after that lie was a weekly visitor from choice and invita tion. In time he was quite ready to I acknowledge to himself that he was in love and to hope that his feelings were reciprocated. He was feeding up liis courage to speak his mind when some thing happened to make him turn pale and set his heart to thumping. As sheriff, he received an official document by mall one day in which hew as com manded to arrest one l>r. James Bird as an embezzler. It was Bird instead of Davy in the warrant, but the per sonal description fitted the man who was living out on the prairie with his daughter. His offense had been com mitted many years before, but the com plainant had kept the warrant alive and followed the embezzler's trail like a bloodhound. The demand was that he be arrested and securely held until extradition papers could be secured, and as even the locality In which he was in hiding was pointed out the sheriff realized that he must do his duty If it broke n woman's heart. An hour after receiving the letter he was on his way to the doctor's place. All the way out there he was hoping that the doctor might have been given a hint and fled or, if he had not, then that lie might have Indisputable evl dences of his Innocence at hand. His face betrayed his perturbation of mind to the girl the Instant he dismounted at the door. She was alone, and as nhe stood forth in the June sunshine and look»sl up at him she quietly said: "Mr. Taylor, I know your errand here. You have come to arrest my father on the old charge." "They—they have sent on this war rant:" stammered Joe, as he handed it to her to read ' But I'm hoping that your father is far away by this time." • is down at the lake fishing. We 1,: d hojied that this matter was dead at last, hut it seems that the man do s a malicious revenge. It says emb< .'/.lenient." Joe nodded his head as he looked away over the prairie. "But it is false. It was a partner ship business, and the other man was seeking to cheat father and fell into his own tran." it was likely that way," nodded Joe. "But father even restored the money after awhile, all but a paltry sum. lie would also have restored that, unjust us it v.as, but he has been hounded and driven till he has become des perate and determined. Is that wretch to follow him to his grave?" Joe sat down on tlie ground and dropped his chin 011 his hands and appeared to be thinking. The girl bad put the warrant hack into his hands, and He re was a sob in her throat as -he turned and entered the house. It \v:.s a quarter of an hour before she re.:up' ..red. Joe looked up into her 1 ice with eyes telling of sympathy and I tve. .111 a blush came to her cheek as she asked: "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "It's going—it's going to be the hard est thing of my life," he replied, "but I've got to do my sworn duty. I must do it or stand impeached. Girl, you don't know"— "Joe," she interrupted, calling him by that name for the first time, "a girl knows when she is loved." "Yes, she ought to, and you ought to know that I love you." "I do, Joe. and I love you in return, and you will break my heart if you drag my old father to jail. Say that you won't do it -that you will leave the warrant unserved." "Duty, girl," he whispered as he rose up and put his arms around her and kissed her for the first time. "Then you will arrest him?" He kissed her again and turned away toward the lake, looking at the paper In his hand through tears in his eyes. He had not taken a hundred steps, however, before a rifle cracked, and he pitched forward 011 the grass. His horse would have dashed off at the sudden report, but It was secured by the girl. "How did It come about?" asked the doctor, who had hurried home at the report of the rifle and found his daugh ter standing over a wounded and un conscious man. "He he started to the lake to find you, and a gun went off!" replied the girl between her sobs. "And—and did he have any legal paper with him?" queried the father in a whisper. "if he had. It has been burned. Tell me, father, is he fatally wounded?" "No. The bullet plowed along his scalp, and he will be all right in a week. I w ill load up the wagon, and we must move on and flud another asylum." "But the man—Mr. Taylor—Joe?" she asked. "We shall take him with us. He will need my skill and your nursing for some days to come." It was two weeks later when the sheriff opened his eyes and saw Mollie Davy seated near his bedside. The old claim had been left a hundred miles behind and the abandoned cabin of a j settler had been taken possession of. ' Joe Taylor had been nursed and tend ed through fever as the wagon rolled along. "Mollie, I take It that it was betwixt j dad and me?" he said as she saw that he had come back to earth again. "It was, Joe," she replied. "But, j now"— "But now It's betwixt you and me, | and as soon as I can shake myself to- 1 gether I'll llx things so that you won't have to do any more moving. Thanks, i dear, that you shot a little too high!" FRENCH POLITENESS. It Im W ideapreail, Oppreaalve and Time Devouring. During one summer which I spent among exclusively French people in a hotel at Saint-Germain I estimated that j I lost quite twenty-four hours out of each week saying good morning and good evening to the men, women, lit tle children and dogs about me. If J'ou encounter the same person twenty-five times in the same day, you must smile rapturously, pause, at least shake j handy if you do not kiss, ceremoniously j inquire how he or she is "going"and ceremoniously bid him or her "an re- j voir" at parting. Not only every man and woman expects this, but all the j little children toddle up to you, shake hands and exact the same amount of . ceremony. Then every well regulated French family has a dog that more 1 than likely occupies a chair and eats j off a plate beside you at the table, so j that it is considered churlish if you do j not also stop and tell the dog "bon jour'' and "au revoir" a dozen times a day, pausing to take the paw which he is prettily taught to extend to you. When the washerwoman brings home your linen, there are at least five mini utes spent in ceremoniously greeting | and parting from her. In the operation ; of receiving and paying for linen you j exchange "mercis" and "pardons" not j fewer than ten times. Any other serv- j ing person or tradesman who conies to ; do business with you throughout the j day you similarly receive with "bon ' jour, monsieur," and "au revoir, tuon- ' sieur." and you thank him and beg his 1 pardon as often as you can possibly j get the words into the length of time he lias to stay.—Harper's Bazar. !*o Plaee For Icemen. "I had letters to a prominent official in Porto Rico," said a New York manu facturer of artificial ice plants, "and I went down to that island, thinking I had a sure grip 011 a big thing. I made , an appointment by letter and on a cer- ' tain day and hour was ushered into his j office, and we had 110 sooner shaken hands than he turned to the attendant and said: " 'Jose, "bring the gentleman a fresh glass of lemonade and see that it is good and hot.' "It was hot enough to melt a dog, and I felt rivers of perspiration run ning down my back, and when that boiling hot lemonade was brought in 1 knew that I was dished. So it turned out. I might have sold red peppers \ or horseradish, but as for ice—they j didn't want any in theirs." «. orncob "You see," said the smoker, "I'm very 1 fond of the corncob pipe. In the first place, it's a clean, sweet, cool smoke, and, in the second, it's so pleasant to 1 think you're smoking something so ! quiet and rural and natural as a pipe j made just by cutting a hole in a corn cob. It's so primitive, you know." "Yes," said his friend. "Only most j corncob pipes aren't made that way. It's the popular supposition that they < are, I know; but, 1 s a matter of fact, j the new and most popular process is to j take the whole cob, grind it up, mix it j with one or two other substances and ! then shape tlie whole into the pipe | form.

COLE 112 • ======== • § ....Copyright, l«l«, b> T. ('. McClure.... • • • • ••••••••* Barbara stood at the gate drinking in the mountain air, which was like a draft of wine to her. The sun. hanging just above tlie crest of Bald Hill, had lifted the early morning fog and set the dew covered spider webs on the grass shimmering like so many clusters of crystals. Adown the road linnets and thrushes were chirping merrily in the woods, and occasionally the breeze wafted the scent of pines to her. The woods were calling her. She would not disregard such an Invitation. She ran lightly into the house and presently reappeared with a parasol and a small red volume. Accoutered thus, she started down the road, follow ed by her aunt's admonition to be back "PARDON ME, DOCTOR, BUT THEY'VE JUST GOT liElt." to dinner at noon and to remember not to cross the Johnsons' pasture, w here rattlesnakes had been seen recently. Barbara went briskly toward the woods with a feeling that on such a day it was indeed good to be alive. Well down the road she passed the great arched gateway of the sanitari um, and, looking up the steep drive way, she could see the buildings perch ed on the hill. She had not been down this road for ten years, hut she sud denly remembered, with a little thrill of pity for its inmates, that the red brick building on tlie extreme left was the insane pavilion. She took the little footpath which led across the lower end of the sani tarium grounds and Into the pine woods. She found a place where giant pines towered many feet skyward and the ground was covered thickly with pine needles. Here she sat down and listened for a time to the tinkle of a tiny brook hard by and the sighing of the breeze through the pine tops. She had just opened tlie little red volume when the cracking of a twig warned her of some one's approach. She look ed up. Before her, hat In hand, stood a handsome, well groomed young man, who-regarded her with a steadiness of gaze decidedly disconcerting. As she looked up he bowed gravely. "Good morning. Princess Louise," he said In a cheerful voice. "Really de lightful morning. Isn't It'/" Barbara's mouth curved scornfully. Then, all at once, the truth flashed up on her. This man before her was a strayed inmate of the Insane pavilion. Her eyes opened wide in alarm and made her doubly charming—at least so thought the young man with a keen sense of pity. "Charming spot here,' he went on easily. "Let me congratulate you on your choice." Barbara's heart was beating wildly. The man might be dangerous, and she was at his mercy. She remembered she had heard somewhere It was best and safest to humor lunatics. So, smothering a desire to scream, she faced the intruder with as much com posure as she could summon. "1 should very much like to sit down here with you," he was saying. "It isn't every one, you know, who Is favored with a morning Interview with Henry IV." "Oh, yes," Barbara said breathlessly. "1)0 sit down. I shall be very glad to have you sit down with me. ludeed, I'm awfully—awfully pleased to have you sit down." He seated himself with a smile which in a sane person would have betokened unlimited patience. "And what Is Princess Louise doing this morning?" lie asked. "I'm—l was reading a book on birds, Mr. Henry IV ." sbe said. He glanced at her quizzically. "Do you mind if I feel your pulse, your highness?" he asked quite humbly. "Oh, no. Indeed not," she assured him. at the same time extending her wrist to him. He pulled out liis watch and took her wrist lightly in his hand. Presently he dropped it and returned the watch to his pocket. "Ah, thank you," he said as he drew a tablet from his pocket and began writing rapidly on one of the pages with a • encil. He laid the tablet aside, and a- it lay on the ground near her Barbara read iu the round, full hand on the page: "Janet Tolman. "June 14. Tucker's Grove. Eyes un usually dilated. Conversation rational. Pulse M." "And now. Prim-ess Louise," the young man was saying, "I think we'd better seek the banquet ball." He rose and slipped the tablet and pencil into his pocket. "I'm it's very comfortable here," she said, and then as a forlorn hope she added, "but don't let me detain you." "But really I insist." he said, with well bred firmness Barbara dared no longer hesitate. "Henry IV." assisted her to her feet, and as she gained them he slipped her arm through his own. She felt liis arm pinning hers lirinh against liis side and realized that opposition was useless Together 'hey started through the grove, and Itarbara was surprised to tind they took the path lending to the sanitarium. They gained the grounds and started up the hill toward the buildings, "Henry IV" meantime con versing pleasantly and Itarbara an swering hin* as lies! -iie could. She breathed more frcelj now , for she was sure they would ncounter an at tendant, who would relieve her of her dangerous escort. They had nearly gained the summit of the hill when an uttendant In white coat came running toward them. "Pardon me, doctor," lie said, ad dressing Barbara's companion, "but they've just got her." "Who?" said the other quickly. "The Tolman woman. Found her in the laundry." said the attendant. "Here they come now," he added, pointing to two men who led a struggling woman between them. "(Hood Lord!" gasped the erstwhile "Henry IV." "Who have I got, then?" "Then then you're not insane?" said Barbara, giggling hysterically with this sudden removal of the tension. "I wasn't an hour ago," he said, rub bing his forehead in a bewildered fashion. "A woman named Tolman confined here escaped, as we supposed, this morning," he explained. "You are the image of her, which accounts for my actions in the grove. She thinks she's Princess Louise and everybody else is some other celebrity. Henry IV. fell to my lot. I'm particularly interested In the case, and because I was won dering what effect the quiet of the woods would have 1 took your pulse and made those notes In the grove. It's a terribly absurd situation. I don't know how to apologize to you. I presume you thought me Insane and tried to humor me." "Precisely," said Barbara, and they both laughed heartily. "At least, let me get my automobile and take you home," he said. "I pre sume you've had quite enough of the grove for one day." "Thank you," said Barbara, "but it's only a step to where 1 am staying with my aunt, Mrs. Durgin." "Mrs. Durgin's!" said the doctor. "Why, I spend half my evenings there." "Oh, then you must be Dr. Dennett, my aunt's idol," said Barbara. "A fallen idol, I fear," he returned, "when she hears of my latest esca pade." Three months later they sat one evening before the fireplace at Mrs. Durgin's. "Really, Barbara," the doctor said, "I demand an answer." Barbara lifted her downcast eyes and tlushed becomingly. "I suppose I should humor you, as I did once before, 'Henry IV,' " she said. "I'm utterly uncontrollable when crossed," he laughed. "Then," sighed Barbara, "for the sake of peace"— But at this point the sen tence was Interrupted. Severn! Kind* of SiDHd(f». The Germans, in most instances, al together discard bread crumbs for their sausages, and when they do use them moisten them with milk or water, but the Italians refuse to put any bread Into their sausages, and they claim that their famous "Bolognese morta della" Is at once a more nourishing and a more economical sausage than the very best German wurst. Inas much as the "mortadella" must be boiled three times before It Is properly cooked, and the water In which it has been boiled constitutes a strong clear soup. The Romans make likewise a highly ambitious sausage, in which no kind of bread is allowed to enter. They call it "zanipino," which is the foot and leg of young pork, the best of which is obtained from Modena. A leg freshly salted Is chosen and carefully skinned, the trotter being preserved; then the meat is finely minced and after being seasoned is re piaced in the "zampiuo," which Is tied with string and simmered In an oval pan for two hours. Wholly innocent of bread crumbs are also the renowned "eervelas" of Strassburg. ltorsc SeDNe. My maternal great grandfather, Van der Meerschaut, had a little Cossack horse captured from the Russian iu vaders in ISI4. The old gentleman was lame in one leg as the result of u hunting accident, but withal a good horseman when once lit the saddle. When out on his trips in the country on business and coming home at night, he would frequently fall asleep In his com modioli* < 'ossack saddle. The horse would muke a bee line for home at an easy but swll't pace. Arrfvtng there, it would rap at the front door with its foot until the watchman would open the porch and take the old gentleman out of the saddle. My grandmother told me this happened almost every week. Horse and master understood each other. Not being able to walk very well, he would hunt from horse back, the horse following the setters and coming to a standstill when one of them was on a point, the old gen tleman guiding him entirely by pres sure of the knees and voice and having both hands free for his fowling piece. The horse died of old age on the place, as most of our servants. Peace to hi< ashes!— Forest and Stream. lluiiillinttuK a Hull.

In the center of this sat an im perturbable artist painting, and round him In furious tangents charged the ineffectual bull. Up went the beast's head while aim was taken under the board at this disturber of the solitude, but then, with lowered horns, the plank again shut the bull Into a mis taken memory of where his target was. The painter said he had spent half a morning in flight and the next half In laughter." Vh rln lion*.
