Back over the last barrier he

Unable to control Salvage

martly across the right side of his
sce and he turned left and back
cross the field, which was an ad-
antage, for Cowing was coming
own on them from that direction.
{e pulled up and turned his mare,
alloping along in front of the mad
alvage; as the latter came by flat-
sned to earth, eyes staring, Cowing
sde the mare close alongside him,
.aned over and got his arm around
he girl's waist.
“Kick loose” he shouted—and drag-
ed her out of the saddle and held
er close against him with one arm
‘hile he pulled the mare down to
walk. When Eve slid off to the
round, he dismounted and stood be-
ide her; together they watched Sal-
age gallop across the field, take off
t a six foot stone wall, land atop of

«And that tall wall, my dear,
aid Cowing, “flanks the top of a
hirty-foot railroad cut. The side
s perpendicular and Salvage is lying
t the bottom of it. Can you walk
a?"
She nodded.
“Then I'm off,” he said, and gal-
ped across the field to a farmer's
ouse, where he borrowed a shotgun
nd, leaving his mare to be walked up
nd down by the farmer and cooled
ut, ran back across the field toward
ne point Salvage had disappeared.
And that was the last Eve Bran-

“Explain yourself,” she command-

He was embarrassed and sought
o evade her by a show of stupidity.
Ah, yes! About old Salvage.
id promise to tell you about him.
Vell, it isn't pleasant telling, Eve,
ut since I promised—"And he told
er the story.
“So when you saw that dead horse
jing beside the wall at the
amp you knew exactly what Sal-
age was to do,” she queried.
f Naturally, knew that the sight
f a dead horse would drive him

“You'd negotiated the last jump
nd had you kept on fifty yards
arther—a matter
sould have been declared the winner
f the race. And you would have
ashed bets on your mare at four

AUDITORS’ STATEMENT
“You know that Mr. Dawson saw
Salvage cutting up his didos some
five de You and; that as
+ a matter of fact was a time
when Mr. Dawson could have ridden
alongside me and taken me off as
courageously as did?’
he kept the purse and cashed
bet on that silly old crock of
his.’
“He was entitled to do that,” Cow-
ing defended.
“See here,” she cried angrily, “I'll
not have you, of all men, defend the
creature! A gentleman would have
declined to cash a winning ticket
under such circumstances. I
haven't been certain for some time
that I would be doing the wise thing
to marry—him so I've deferred doing
it. Now I know he's a rotten sport
and miserably selfish—and I know
you're not—and it's something worth
knowing."
“When I found poor Salvage,”
Cowing said irrelevantly, “he was,
lying at the bottom of the railway
cut. He was Borrilly In
I stuck a shotgun I
in his ear and gave him both bar-
rels. I wouldn't let him suffer un-
necessarily for a Shit second.”
“Stupid! I've broken my engage-
ment with Mr, Dawson, I tell you.”
“Well, go on. Propose to me.”
«J ghall. Will you marry me?
You always said you wanted to.”
«“] will. Are you going to climb
down out of that dogcart and kiss
me—or must I climb up and kiss
ua?”
“I'll climb down,” she said. “God
bless Salvage and lead him into
some sort of horse heaven. Oh,
my dear, I've been suck a fool!”
“Hush darling. No explanations,”
he protested. “Come over to the
stables and I'll show you the year-
ling hunter I'm going to school for
my wife.’—By Peter B. Kyne in
Hearst's International Cosmopolitan.
“MOST UNIQUE TREE"
IS DYING SLOWLY
Pennsylvania's most unique tree, a
prostrate juniper growing in a wood-
Jot in Dauphin county between Hum-
melstown and Elizabethtown, ap-
to be slowly dying, it is stated
by
Forests and Waters. This unique
tree has a spread of 45 feet and
averages only three feet in . height,
It is fifteen times as wide as high,
and covers about 200 square feet of
ground. The tree is close to 200
years old, and is the most southern
ou in the tree's entire range.
The prostrate juniper is a trailing
variety of the common juniper and
is closely related to the red cedar.

OLD AUTOMOBILES
TURNED INTO STEEL
Bound for the maw of a roaring,
open hearth furnace through which
. they will pass
_ steel, nothing cea be quite so pathet-
ic looking as the aulks of once proud
automobiles moving slowly forward
on the disassembly line of a great
automobile ractory to be wrenched,
rent and torn for the last bolt or nut
that can he put to some useful serv-
ice elsewhere. .
From A to Westcotts—
cars of makes long since forgotten—
the line stirs the imagination to won-
der. For instance, what notables may
have ridden in that old gray hearse
with its owner's bas-relief monogram
still shining brightly through the
junk yard grime, or what young
lovers courted in that ‘“nobby” road-
ster, its stern emblazoned with a
cture of an ocean liner, a light-
use and a sailing vessel.
Scores of men scattered along a
dissembly line have been wrecking
old cars at the rate of 400 every
eight hours since last year, solving
a problem as distressing to municipal
authorities and property owners as it
has been vexing, incidentally, to
automobile dealers.
What such a wholesome wrecking
program means in the removal from
the highways of motor menaces to
life and limb, in the elimination of
the unsightly junk piles that litter
the landscape, and in the conversion
to new usefulness of materials that
would otherwise go to waste, is ob-
vious.
The derelicts hauled from junk
piles or the old cars received in ex-
change for new automobiles are pur-
chased from Ford dealers at a uni-
form rate of $20 a car. There is no
restriction as to age, condition or
make of car and the only require-
ments are that each must have some
semblance of tires and a battery and
that the cars must be delivered by
the dealer to the plant.
Thus far the program has been
confined to the Detroit metropolitan
area and no less than 60 different
makes of cars, many of them long
since out of production, have been
wrecked, the dealers hauling them to
the plant five, six or seven on “long
reach” trucks.
Nothing in the old wrecks that
were once abandoned in vacant lots
or left to rust on junk heaps is
thrown away. Three conveyers, hun-
dreds of feet long, in the open-hearth
building of the Rouge plant are util-
ized carrying steel scrap to the fur-
naces or carrying toward the salvage
department materials other than
steel to be put to varied uses.
As the derelicts move slowly along
the conveyer a squad of wreckers at-
tack them from all sides, tearing off
fenders, bumpers, headlights, batter-
jes, wheels and other exterior paris,
while another group is removing the
upholstery and interior fittings.
The glass which is still intact and
can be cut to size is used to glaze
windows in buildings about the Rouge
—
plant, and the rest is sent to the
glass factory 38 De remelted. Floor
boards are sent to packing

This Bank as Your Executor
en the Will of a decedent is read, and it
is found that a proper Bank has been
named as Executor, there is a feeling of
relief by the heirs. They know that this es-

terests carefully guarded.
If you have not already had your Will
