££ Bellefonte, Pa., March 7, 1913. Trespasser Was Not One of the “Seven Sleepers.” By CATHERINE COOPE. Joan sped down through the riot of flowers to the foot of the garden path; there, she stopped to catch her breath before continuing on through the hawthorn lanes that led to the fruit orchard. Her wide garden hat had slipped from its nest of spun gold ringlets and her heart beat joy- ously with the pulse of spring. She stood for a moment poised un- der the old ivy-covered arch that ad- mitted her to the orchard and drew in long breaths of delight. The great gnarled trees were weighted with blossoms and the air was heavy with the sweetness of their perfume. Joan made a swift dart and with the agility of a squirrel climbed into the topmost branches of her favorite tree. There she sighed happily, then laughed at the shower of pink and white petals that her ascent brought down. “Now I am monarch of all I sur vey,” she told herself gleefully, and settled herself in the secure seat the gardener had made for her. Because their orchard was only a sixteenth part of the original orchard that had been the pride of the one- time Lamberth estate, it was not walled in, but merely inclosed bY hawthorn hedges. Joan regretted that necessity had called for a divi- sion of the property, yet she rejoiced that the lot which her grandmother had purchased possessed the most beautiful tree in the entire orchard. She gazed out over the vista of pink and white, and from her high perch could see the various winding lanes that divided the properties. Suddenly she leaned forward, her eyes focused upon a figure that was moving about among the private gar- dens. “He must be trespassing” was Joan's mental comment. “I have nev- er seen him before.” She watched him intently, half out of feminine interest for a masculine person and half because of the pe- I Am Monarch of All | Survey.” culiar actions of the man. He stood quite still for moments at a time, ap- parently gazing at the wonder of the orchard, but suddenly he would dart toward a specific tree and make nu- merous circuits about its base. Joan began to fear for his sanity and for her own safety. Certainly his actions were not those of an ‘evenly balanced man. She felt rea gonably sure that neither an insane nor a sane man would catch sight of her in her bower of thick foliage, but her heart beat rapidly. “You never can tell,” she told her- gelf “what any man is likely to see.” With considerable trepidation she watched the man drawing gradually nearer and nearer to her retreat. Would he or would he not venture within her grandmother's private or- chard? Joan felt reasonably sure now that the trespasser was mentally un- balanced. “He is coming in!” Joan caught a sharp breath and drew up into the branches of her tree. He seemed to catch sight of the great tree the moment he stood within the arch and made straight for it. As he came forward, Joan again drew a quick breath. The man was undoubtedly good to look at and his shoulders were big and broad. He had taken oft his cap and the sun shone on a head of thick, red-brown hair. Joan's grandmother had a miniature of a man with just such a head of hair. The girl in the treetop sighed, partly because she felt a strong de- sire to drop twigs down on the good- looking young fellow whose wander- ings had brought him into her garden. “But 1 do not dare,” she told her- self and realized that her fear of the man had vanished. “I suppose his eves are brown,” Joan decided. She leaned forward cautiously and watch- ed him prowling about the foot of the tree. Suddenly he threw himself down on the wide bench that encircled the tree. “Discovered!” she heard him mut- ter, and peered down to see him draw a great knife from his pocket. He brandlished it about and the blood in Joan's veins stood still. He opened the evillooking blade and ran hie finger along it. Joan gripped the Iranches to keep from tumbling head- long out of the tree. “Now The man was silent for a moment, then he began very calmly to carve his initials in the bark of the tree. The blood in Joan's veins took up its course and she drew a long breath of relief. “Rather nervy, however,” she com- mented, forgetting that her grand- mother abominated slang. Evidently the young man had fin- ished his carving for he returned his knife to his pocket and cast a glance about the orchard. Seeing no one about, he threw himself full length on the soft turf and prepared for a nap. “I certainly hope he is not one of the seven sleepers,” Joan thought petulantly, “my left foot is already asleep—Oh-h!” She uttered a half ery and tried to drag her foot from the crutch of the branch into which she had pressed it. The young man below blinked his eyes in the sunlight, then sat bolt up- right. His eyes, blue as the summer sky, gazed up into the branches of the tree as if an apparition had suddenly appeared. “My foot is caught,” cried Joan, ac- cusingly, “and you did it!” “I!” The man's breathless ejacula- tion brought the color to Joan's cheeks. She frowned. ° “Besides,” he continued, “you have been trespassing for the last half hour.” A slow smile dawned in the man's eyes, as if he were glad that he had been watched for so long a time. Joan blushed furiously at herself, then re- treated behind a mask of light fab- rication. “I suppose you were going ‘to take some of the apple blossoms for a wedding or something—so 1 kept my eye on you,” she finished, lamely. “Not both eyes?” he questioned, with a merry look. He was suddeniy serious. “But this is not getting your foot out of the branches of my grandfather's tree.” with a quick movement and placed himself beside her before Joan could gasp indignantly: “Your grandfather's tree, indeed! It is my very own grandmother's tree and she did all her courting under it on that very branch,” Joan informed the young man’s back, “but she didn’t marry the man.” He climbed ur} In our home it is regarded our general family medicine.

Mirrors in Philadelphia elevators are doomed says a New York Werld's correspondent. The order for their removal from elevators at city hall went out recently, and will be follow- ed by similar orders in the leading ho- tels and office buildings, notably the Bellevue, Stratford and the Land Title. The mirrors are being done away with as the result of numerous com- plaints made. Conductors in the city hall elevators assert that nearly every girl who rides becomes so engrossed in “primping” before the silvered glasses in the elevators that they for get what floor they want and cause delay. In the hotels and office buildings the conductors of the elevators, who are instructed not to speak to the oc- cupants, utilize the mirrors to flirt with fair passengers, with the result that they pass the floors while ogling the girl. Another reason why the ho- tels will eliminate mirrcrs is that oc- | casionally a passenger from the roof gardens becomes too boisterous and puts his fist through the glass, cutting his hand and afterward suing the ho tel company.

Other than operating automobiles and serv. ing as a refrigerant there is hardly a thing the human mind can think of that liquid air cannot do, from provid ing a magical entertainment to the production of continuous power. Yet there is lacking a process by which it can be produced cheaply enough to compete with other sources of motive forces now in use. Suicidal Habit of Butterfly. Considerable interest attaches to a migration of butterflies to this coun- try from the continect which recently took place, remarks the London Stand- ard. The migration in question con- cisted chiefly of the pretty “Clouded Yellow” and the well-known “Painted Lady.” ‘The extraordinary part of the story is this, that non. of either spe- cies will ever get through the British winter. All true British butterflies sleep from October to llarch, either as eggs, caterpillars, pupae or butter- flies, but the Painted Lady and Cloud- ed Yellow perish. It has long been suggested that they migrate back again to France, but the necessity of waiting for a north wind and the fact that such a wind in October is in- variably too cold casts some doubt upon this theory. The Red Admiral is another victim to suicidal migra- tion. Possesses such remarkable curative power. kidneys and liver. Get a bottle today. He turned about, having extricated | her ankle from the crutch and gazed | back at her. “In that case,” he informed her, “it | was your grandmother who jilted my | grandfather because he lost all his | money and had to sell the Lambreth | estate.” “She did no such thing,” retorted | Joan. “She gazes at his minature | every day in this world.” She cast a | quick glance at him. “I know now,” | she exclaimed, “you look exactly like | that miniature.” | “My grandfather was very hand | some,” laughed young Lambreth; | then growing serious again, he con- | tinued: “When he sent me to England | he told me very particularly to look | for this tree, which he said bore the | best apples in the whole orchard, al- so to look closely to see his initials carved with those of the only girl he ever loved.” “When the estate was cut up into | building lots,” said Joan, taking up | the thread of the story, “my grand- mother made a bid for this especial piece because it had that tree on it.” “I have carved my initials on it.” sald Lambreth, “and they look a bit lonesome.” His eyes met her appeal ingly. “We will go in now and have tea and a proper introduction from my grandmother, and after that we will | discuss whose initials would look | well entwined with yours.” “That discussion will be short. Come,” he sald, “give me your hands —I want to help you down from the apple blossoms.” (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) WOULD RETAIN ART TREASURE English Antiquarians Up In Arms at Prospect of Loss of Crom- well's Staircase. London antiquarians are up in arms against a proposal to sell to wealthy Americans the famous carved stair- case in what is known as Cromwell's house, Highgate Hill, a fine seven- teenth century mansion, presented, ac- cording to tradition, by Cromwell to his eldest daughter Bridget. Cromwell house is & red brick house faced with stone. A boundary stone in the adjoining wall bears the date of 1614, and this is generally accepted as the year of its construc- tion. The house was occupied at one time by General Ireton, Cromwell's son-in-law, and it is suggested that it formed part of the dowry of | Cromwell's eldest daughter Bridget. ! The whole of the internal ornaments bear evidence of military occupancy. Unfortunately the greater portion of the drawing room ceiling was de- stroyed by fire nearly a century ago, but some exquisite woodwork has been revealed during recent remova- tion. The main staircase, which is the immediate subject of concern, is of handsome proportions, and bears at its various corners beautifully carved figures of soldiers of the common- wealth period. The handrail is of dis- tinctive molding, whilst the balus- trades are rich with cleverly executed devices emblematic of warfare. Hand- somely carved oak pendants appear at intervals above the staircase. His Catch.
