GREEN GARDENS. © Continued from page 2, column 6). “But I do not want you to go.” Her lips were white, but she spoke very clearly. \ Stephen Fane never moved but his eyes dark and wondering, rested on her like a caress. “Qh, my little dream is this?” “You must not go away again, you must not.” “I am baser than I thought,” he said, very low. “I have made you pity me, I who have forfeited your lovely pity this long time. It cannot even touch me now. I have sat here like a dark Othello telling tales to a small white Desdemona, and you, God help me, have thought me tragic and abus- ed. You shall not think that. In a few minutes I will be gone—I will not have you waste a dream on me. List- en—there is nothing vile that I have not done—nothing, do you hear? Not clean sin, like murder—I have cheated at cards, and played with loaded dice, and stolen the rings off the fingers of an Argentine Jewess who—" His voice twisted and broke before the lovely mercy in the frightened eyes that still met his so bravely. “But why, Stephen ?” Loveliness, what “So that I could buy my dreams. So : that I could purchase peace with little | dabs of brown in a pipe-bowl, little puffs of white in the palm of my hand, little drops of liquid on a ball of cot- ton. So that I could drug myself with dirt—and forget the dirt and remem- ber England. He rose to his feet with that swift grace of his, and Daphne rose too, slowly. “I am going now; will you walk to the gate with me?” He matched his long step to hers, watching the troubled wonder on her small white face intently. “How old are you, my Dryad?” “I am seventeen.” “Seventeen! Oh, God be good to us, I had forgotten that one could be sev- enteen. What’s that?” \ He paused, suddenly alert, listening to a distant whistle, sweet on the summer air. “Oh, that—that is Robin.” “Ah—” His smile flashed, tender and ironic. “And who is Robin?” “He is—just Robin. He is down from Cambridge for a week, and I told him that he might walk home with me.” “Then I must be off quickly. coming to this gate?” Is he A CENTRE COUNTY TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE. The seventy-fifth annual teachers’ institute will be held in the court house, Bellefonte, beginning with the enrollment of teachers Monday morn- ing and closing at noon on Friday. County superintendent David O. Et- ters has prepared quite an elaborate program for the week and every ses- sion will without doubt prove very in- teresting. One very noticeable diver- sion will be made this year from for- mer years, and that is there will be no evening entertainments. ~The teach- ers will be required to attend the morning and afternoon sessions, but their evenings will be their own. This will also enable teachers who have ac- cess to automobiles to come to Belle- fonte in the morning, attend both ses- sions of institute and return home in time for supper. The list of instruc- tors scheduled for the week is as fol- lows: Dr. W. D. Lewis, Deputy Superin- tendent Public Instruction, Harris- burg, Pa. Dr. James H. Kelley, executive sec- retary of the Teachers State Associa- . tion, Harrisburg. Di. D. A. Anderson, professor of education, Pennsylvania State College, ! State College. ! Dr. P. M. Harbold, professor of ed- ucation, Franklin and Marshall Col- lege, Lancaster. Superintendent Jesse Y. Shambach, Department Public Instruction, Har- risburg. Miss Elizabeth B. Meek, represen- tative State Health Bureau, Belle- fonte. Pror. Ted R. Griffiths, musical di- rector, Edwardsville, Pa. Miss Emma M. Moyer, pianist, Re- bersburg. The complete program for the week is as follows: MONDAY, 2 P. M. Devotional—Rev. Geo. KE.

You | told me so. But just for a minute | after I have gone, you will remember ! that now all is very well with me, be- | cause I have found the deep meadows | —and honey still for tea—and you. You are to remember that for just onc | minute—will you? And now good-! by , | She tried to say the words, but she | : could not. For a moment he stood staring down at the white pathos of | the small face, and then he turned away. But when he came to the gate, he paused and put his arms about the wall, as though he would never let it go, laying his cheek against the sun- warmed bricks, his eyes fast closed. The whistling came nearer, and he stirred, put his hand on the little painted gate, vaulted across it lightly, and was gone. She turned at Robin’s quick step on the walk. “Ready, dear? What are you star- ing at?” | “Nothing. Robin—Robin, did you ever hear of Stephen Fane?” He nodded grimly. “Do you know—do you know what he is doing now?” “Doing now ?” He stared at her blankly. “What on earth do you mean? Why, he’s been dead for months—killed in the campaign in East Africa—only decent thing he ever did in his life. Why?” Daphne never stirred. She stood quite still, staring at the painted gate. Then she said, very carefully: “Some one thought—some one thought that they had seen him—quite lately.” Robin laughed comfortingly. “No use looking so scared about it, my blessed child. Perhaps they did. The War Office made all kinds of ghastly blunders—it was a quick step’ from ‘missing in action’ to ‘killed’ And he’d probably would have been jolly glad of a chance to drop out quietly and have every one think he was done for.” . Daphne never took her eyes from the gate. “Yes,” she said quietly, “I Subs he would. Will you get my basket, Robin? T left it by the bee- hive; There are some cushions that peleng in the East Indian room, too. The south door is open.” _ When he had gone, she stood shak- ing for a moment, listening to his footsteps die away, and then she flew to the gate, searching the twilight des- perately with straining eyes. There wag ng, ane there—no one at all—but Gn kha tn in tha lane would have hidden him by now. And suddenly terror fell from her like a cloak. She turned suddenly to the brick wall, straining up, up on tiptoes, to lay her cheek against its roughened surface, to touch it very gently with her lips. She could hear Robin whist- ling down the path but she did not turn. She was bidding farewell to Green Gardens—and_the last adven- - turer.—By Frances Noyes Hart, in Scribner's Magazine.

The following bill recently enacted at Harrisburg will be of interest to autoists in case of fire—some viola- tors of this law have been noticed: _ Section 1. Be it enatced, etc., That it shall be unlawful for any person, except a person connected with a duly constituted fire department, to drive at an excessive rate of speed te any fire or to race with any fire apparatus to any fire. It shall be unlawful for any person to park any motor vehicle within one thousand feet on the same street of any fire, other than such motor vehicles as may belong to any fire department or may be used by any person connected with any fire depart- ment. It shall be unlawful for any person to drive any motor vehicle over any line of hose which for the time being is being used for the purpose of extinguishing any fire. It shall be the duty of the driver of 2ny motor ve- hicle, upon hearing the approach of any fire apparatus from either direc- tion, to immediately bring his motor to a standstill on his or her right-hand side of the road or street, and to re- main standing until such apparatus has passed his or her motor vehicle. This act shall not apply to any am- bulance or pelice patrol. Nor shall any person be held to have violated the provisions of this act with regard to parking if the act of parking was done prior to the commencement of such fire. : va Any person violating the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding before a justice of the peace or alderman, be sentenced to pay a fine of twenty-five dollars. BUFFALO BULL FIGHTS. A regal battle for the mastery of the herd of 80 bison, the pride of Gen- eral Harry C. Trexler’s 1,200 acre game preserve at Schencksyville, was waged and while the bellowing of the enraged bulls could be heard in Schencksville, but one person, James Roth, a game keeper, witnessed the fight, the like of which he had often heard described, but which he had never before witnessed. As the result of the battle, an acre of ground was torn up, one bull pretty badly damaged and the other 14 mon- ster bulls (the herd has 16 monster bulls) are now meek animals grazing alone in remote corners of the park or hovering on the flanks of the great herd but keeping a watchful eye on “the boss.” Finally the fight narrowed down to two great bulls. One of them, a mon- ster animal, attacked another big fel- low, who held his own and had beaten all comers. In an instant the two were smashing into each other so that it cracked. Then the first bull was tossed and over an embankment he Jyont, tumbling with a crash fully 20 ee The victor walked back to the herd and the rest of the bulls retreated. The battle was won. The buffaloes knew who was boss and quietly went off to graze, the leader taking them into the western part of the park. The bull that was thrown after a while got SERA up and walked away, maddened it could be seen by the way he was frothing and from his bloodshot eyes. He went to a distant part of the east- ern park, towards the Schencksville end, and there he has been seen since. It would be dangerous to go near him. This is the mating season and one bull takes command of the herd. He achieves leadership through physical supremacy, holding it until some other stronger bull comes along.—Ex. culation in Bellefonte.

If You Buy Out, of Town and I Buy Out, LOCAL DEALERS DO BUSINESS IN OPEN Know They Must Face the Music if Their Customers Are Displeased. MEET PATRONS FACE TO CE Mail Order Men Prefer to Sell at Long Distance Rather Than Deal With People In Their Own Cities. (Copyright.) One of the stock excuses of the mar who orders goods from a mail oraer house is that there are many things that he wants that the locul mer- chants do not carry in stock, and that it is necessary for him to send away from town to get them. This explanation may be all right on the theory that a poor excuse is better than none, but it fails to pass uster when it is subjected to a Ilit- tle scrutiny. Ask the man who offers this as ar excuse for his dealings with the ma.! order man why he does not go to the local merchant and ask him to order the articles desired if they are not te be found in the merchant’s stock. The merchant will very gladly do this, an : the merchant and customer will hoth | profit. The merchant can sell yon whatever you desire at as low 2 price as.the mailiorder house can make you ‘on goods the same quality and he can make a small profit. The customer will profit from the transaction, because he will be deal ing with a merchant who stands back of the goods that he sells, and who | is easily accessible in case the arti- cles purchased do not prove to be all that the customer had expected. Give Home Merchant Preference. » Why not try this plan the next time not find in any of your home stores? The merchant in the average sized town cannot carry in stock everything .that all of the people in his town may want at all times. It would require ‘a capital many times larger than the ‘average merchant can command to do this, but he does the best he can.
