Bellefonte, Pa., February 21, 1913. —— A Girl of the Limberlost. [Continued from pas 6, Col. 4.] “1 seriously doubt that.” said Elnora. “But 1 am perfectly willing that you should make the test. 1 will call him.” “Stop!” commanded Edith Carr. “wy told you that it was you I came to see.” “1 remember,” said Elnora. “Mr. Ammon is my betrothed,” con- tinued Edith Carr. “I expect to take him back to Chicago with me.” “Phen it is untrue that you twice rejected his ring. repeatedly tnsu'ted him and publicly renounced bun™ “That was through you" cred Edith Carr. “1 realize the speil ¥] want a minute with you,” said Miss Carr. place for a summer season.

If he | married you before a month you would | read heart hunger for me in his eyes. He could not love me as he has done and give me up for a little scene like that!” “You killed his love everlastingly when you disgraced him in public.” said Elnora. “Killed it so completely he does not even feel resentment to- | ward you.” Edith Carr stood truly regal and filled with scorn. “You are mistaken! Nothing on earth could kill that!” she cried, and Elnora saw that the girl really believed what she said. “You are very sure of yourself!” said Elnora. : “1 have reason to be sure,” answered Edith Carr. “We have lived and loved too long. I have had years with him to match against your days. He is mine! His work, his ambitious, his friends, his place in society are with me. You may have a summer charm for a sick man in the country. If he tried placing you in society you would put him to shame in a week.” “1 hardly think ! should follow your example so far,” said Elnora dryly. “I have a feeling for Philip that would prevent my hurting him purposely either in public or private. As for managing a social career for him he never mentioned that he desired such a thing. What he asked of me was that I should be his wife. 1 under- stood that to mean that he desired me to keep him a clean house, serve him digestible food. mother his children and give him loving sympathy and tenderness.” “Such vulgarity!” panted Edith Carr. “How can a man like Ammon endure it? You know perfectly that if your puny hold on him were broken, if he were back in his home among his friends and where he was meeting me, in one little week he would be mine again as he always bas been.” “That will do!” said Elnora. “1 shall not act uatil I know there will be noth- ing to regret. [ have decided on my course. You may return to your frien ” “What do you mean?’ demanded Edith Carr. “That is my affair,” replied Elnora. “Only this: When your opportuuity comes, seize it! Any time you are in Philip Ammon's presence, exert the charms of which you boast and take him. Take him to Onabasha and to Chicago with you. Use every art you possess, If the old charm can be re- vived 1 will be the first to wish both of you well. Now, I must return tc wy guests. Kindly excuse me.” Elnora turned and weut back to the arbor. Edith Carr followed the fence and passed through the gute into the west woods where she asked Hender- son if the car was ready. As she stood near him she whispered, “Take Phil back to Onabasha with us." “1 say, Ammon. can’t you go to the rity with us and help me find a shop where I can get this pinion fixed?” asked Henderson, “We want to lunch and start back by 5. ‘That will get us home by midnight.” i Philip went into the arbor. whe heaut!

ANY people looked, a few fol- i lowed, as Edith Carr slowly | came down the main street of Mackinac, pausing here and | | there to note the glow of color in one | | smal! booth after another, overflowing , with curios. Despite the effort she | made to move lightly she was very tired and dragged her heavy feet with an effort. She turned ut the little street lead- ing dows to the dock and went out to . meet the big lake steamer ploughing up the straits from Chicago. Past the | Janding place, on to the very end of the pier she went, then sat down, leaned against a dock support and closed her tired eyes. When the steamer came very near she languidly watched the people lining the railing. Instantly | she marked one lean, anxious face turned toward hers and with a throb of pity she lifted a band and waved to Hart Henderson. He was the first man off the bo2l “Did you have a successful trip?’ she asked. | “1 accomplished my purpose. Edith, 1 1 saw some one today in the Lake | Shore private hospital.” | “An accident?” | “No. Nervous and physical break- | down.” | “Phil sald he was going back to | the Limberlost.” “He went. He was there three weeks. but the strain broke him. He has handled until it is ragged. He held it up to me and said, ‘You can see for | yourself that she says she will be well | and happy, but we can’t know until we | see her again, and that may never be. | | She may have gone too near that place her father went down, some of that | Limberlost gang may have found her in the forest. She may lie dead in some city morgue this instant waiting for me to find her body." “Hart, for pity’s sake stop!” “] can't,” cried Henderson desperate- ly. “I am forced to tell you. They are fighting brain fever. He did go back to the swamp and he prowled it night | and day. The days down there are hot | now, and the nights wet with dew and cold. He paid no attention and forgot his food. A fever started, and his un- | ele brought him home. They've never bad a word from her or found a trace of her. Mrs. Comstock thought she had gone to O'More’s at Grand Rapids, so when Phil got sick she telegraphed there. They had been gone all summer, 80 her mother is as anxious as Phil.” “The O'Mores are here,” said Edith. “I haven't seen any of them, because 1 haven't gone out much in the few days since we came, but this is their | summer home.” “Edith, they say at the hospital that it will take careful nursing to save Phil. He says he will stay there just two days longer. The doctors say he | will kill himself when he goes. He is a sick man, Edith. His hands are burning and shaky and his breath was hot against my face.” “Why are you telling me?’ It wasa ery of acute anguish. “He thinks you know where she is.” “I do not! I haven't an idea!" “He said it was something you said to her that made her go.” “That may be, but it doesn’t prove that I know where she went.” Henderson looked across the water and suffered keenly. At last he turned to Edith and laid a firm, strong band over hers, “Edith,” he said, “do you realize how serious this is?” ! “1 suppose | 40.” “Do you want as fine a fellow as Phil driven auy further? If he leaves that hospital now and goes out to the exposure and anxiety of a search for her there will be a tragedy that no aft- er regrets can avert. Edith, what did you say to Miss Comstock that made her run away from Phil?” “7 told her Phil was mine! That if has an old letter in his hands that he | be were awny from her an hour and assist Edith. [Concluded next week.) CUT GROUND UNDER BOASTER : Exceedingly Neat Rejoinder Made by Salesman to His Puffed-Up Rivaf. Rivalry among motor car manufac- | turers is acute, if good natured. At a dinner of manufacturers’ representa- tives one guest dwelt at length on the remarkable popularity of his car | and the wonderful organization of its selling force. “Why, just think of it, gentlemen,” said he, “last month our sales aver- aged a car every two minutes of each working day. There was never any- thing like it.” When he had concluded the repre- sentative of a rival factory arose and remarked: permission, I would like to offer my compliment on his statement that there's one of his cars sold every two minutes.” Permisstn was granted. “I understood you to say that you | call that good salesmanship. Am I right?” “I certainly do,” affirmed the pre- vious speaker. “Well, I don't; that's all mighty poor salesmanship.” “What do you mean?” I call it demanded the boaster. “A car every two min- utes—" “Poor salesmanship—there’'s no other name for it. The gentleman forgets that there's a sucker born ev- ery minute.” After which the next speaker was introduced. Misjudged the Uniform. During the war in the Philippines General Charles King, one day while resplendent in his uniform, which was made especially brilliant by several rows of new brass buttons, came up- on a raw recruit. The latter was on post duty and failed to salute the | general. “Are you on duty here?” asked General King, with a show of an ger. “I guess 80,” sald the recruit. “They sent me out here, anyway.” “Do you remember your general or ders?” asked the general. “1 guess 1 do—some of them,” said the raw recruit. “Well,” said the general, “don’t you know that you are supposed to salute your officers? Don’t you know I am the general of this brigade?” “You the general?” said the new recruit. “Gosh, no; I didn't know it. 1 thought you was the chief of the fire department.”—Kansas City Star. First Use of Asphalt. Asphalt, with which so many roads are paved, was found by accident. Many years ago, in Switzerland, nat ural rock asphalt was discovered, and for more than # century it was used for the purpose of extracting the rich stores of bitumen it contained. In time it was noticed that pieces of rock which fell from the wagons and were crushed by the wheels formed a mar velously fine road surface when as- sisted by the heat of the sun. A prop er road of asphalt rock was then made, following upon the discovery, and in 1854 an experimental roadway was laid in Paris. From that time the use of rock asphalt for the making of roads and pavements has increased and extended to many countries. No Kiss With Alimony. When a man has been divorced and ordered by the court to pay his wife alimony, the law does not require that he kiss her every time he makes his payments, according to a ruling made by Magistrate Morris of Denver. Mrs. Emathia Vincent, who recently got a divorce in the county court from Bean Vincent, a motorman, told Magistrate Morris that when she called on her former husband to collect her $20 alimony he tendered her the money but refused to kiss her, and she re fused the money. “With the last speaker's | | his days happily in knee-high mead- : , ed a carload of fine New Rub- { vs, under the azure skies of south: | ber and Steel Tire Buggies ern France.—Youth's Companion. - and Carriages.

There are few perfumes today that thetically, as the chemists call it. For- merly all perfumes were extracted from flowers, fruits, spices, woods, or other vegetable and animal substances. The first perfume to be imitated was vanilla, in 1876. Heliotropine follow- ed, being obtained by oxidation of a byproduct of camphor. Terpinol is one of the most freely used constit- uents of perfumes. This is a near relation of turpentine. With this, a little oil, and aqua fortis a chemist can produce a perfume that can scarcely be distinguished from those exhaled by the lily of the valley, lilac, and Cape jessamine, varying accord- ing to the proportions in which the chemicals are blended. Artificial vio- let is a combination of citrol (an es- sence extracted from lemon), Indian vervaine, or lemon verbena, with com- mon acetoe, a substance very like pyroligneous acid. Most of the cheap perfumes are imitations, and they are almost always inferior to the flower extracts. So it might properly be said that it is a wise flower that knows its own perfume. He “Played Rough.” The man who, inspired by the mug that cheers, maintains his prestige as head of the house by chastising his wife, is often saved from the indignity of the stonepile by the eternal fem- inine. Without the condemning testi- mony of the wife the court cannot do much with him, and, though her an- ger may be such as *o countenance his arrest and arraignment, the chances are about ten to one that at the last pinch it weakens and fails her, as one or two stories from the city court will illusrate. A woman with a badly "blackened eye came before Judge Collins’ bar for an adjustment of domestic affairs. The case looked bad and the judge inti- mated his intention of making an “ex- ample” of the culprit; but the woman interceded. “Ah, judge, don’t be hard on him—he was only playin’,” she pleaded; then added by way of quall- fication. “But he do play so rough, judge!

Even on the outskirts of Alexan- dria, says a writer in the Christian Herald, we passed nomadic groups of Bedouins, camping by the side of the Mahmoudieh canal. Out in the fields men and women, dressed alike in the loose cotton gown of the country, were busily at work. The fields were dotted with curious doorless struc- tures made of cornstalks. They are used as temporary homes at certain seasons of the year, as, for instance, when the crops are being gathered. Later on I entered one and found it to be not more than five feet square; one could not stand upright inside. The place contained nothing but a few jars and cooking utensils.
