“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 ?”

“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.

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.

bersburg.

“No, to the south one.”
“Listen to me, my Dryad—are you
listening 7” For her face was turned
away.
“Yes,” said Daphne.
“You are going to forget me—to
forget this afternoon—to forget ;
everything but Robin whistling |
through the summer twilight.”
“Yes; because you have a very poor :
memory about unhappy things! 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

Young Doctor-—Have you never
been mistaken in your diagnosis, doc-
tor?
Celebrated Physician—Only once. A

got indigestion, and afterward
found that he was rich enough to
have had appendicitis.

OBSERVE FIRE LAWS
WITH AUTOMOBILE.
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

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

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.

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.
<Te ordinarily does carry in stock at
ail times many things for which there
is no general demand, in order that he
may meet the needs of his customers
to the greatest possible degree, but
there is a limit to his purchasing abil-
ity. He is always ready and willing,
however, to make every effort to meet
the demands of the community. Why

The money you spend with them stays in cir-
not, tnen, give nim the preference over
the far-distant mail order man if you
must have someceing which is not to
be found in the local stores? He
will do the business in a satisfactory
| manner, give you as quick if not quick-
or service and more satisfactory treat-
| ment, and the chances are that
he will give yon better values for the
money. Finally, whatever profit is to
he made off the transaction will stay
Lat home and do its bit toward making
1he merchant and his town and, inci-
lentaily, yourself, more prosperous.
i No business can be transacted as
satisfactorily at lorz range as it can
when the two pa. . to the transac-
tion meet face to fo. The only ex-
ception to this rule is in the case of
the mail order man himself, who can
transact his business with greater suc-
cess to himself at long distance than
he could if he had to meet his cus-
tomers face to face. That is the reason
that he does business by mail instead
of selling to the people in his own
city. If the goods which the mail or-
der man advertises in his alluring cat-
alogues were the bargains that he rep-
resents them to be, he would not have
to go outside of the confines of his
own city to sell all the goods he could
possibly obtain. But the aver:ge mail
order house not only does not make
any effort to sell goods in its own city,
bu: will not sell to anyone residing
within the city limits. The mail order
man does not want to meet his eus- |
tomers face to face. He can do busi-
ness better so far as he is concerned if
his customer is some hundreds of miles
away from his office.
| Does Business in Open.
The man who sells goods over the
counter, on the other hand, does busi-
ness in the open. He cannot hide be-
hind a corporate name or talk to a dis-
pleased customer from. | ins the
locked doors of a private office. He
knows that he must face the music in
case he is a party to any transaction
that won't stand the light of day. He
knows that he must satisfy every eus-
tomer with whom he may be dealing
or he will lose not only that customer
but probably others who will soon
know all the facts if he does not do the
square thing by any one of his
patrons.
There is no reason in the world for
any person to send his money to a
mail order house because he cannot
find the article he wants in his local
store. The local merchant is in busi-
ness for the very purpose of getting
you what you want. He has the infer-
mation that will epable him to get
what you want and to get it as quick-
ly as you could get it from a mail or-
der house. It is only fair to him to
give him the chance to make such
profit as any dealer would make off the
transaction and it is only fair to your-
gelf to keep that profit at home rather
than to send it away to some iar dis-
tant city from which it will never re-
turn.
