THE CENTRE DEM¢ CRAT, BELLEFONTE, PENNA, Thursday, September 18th, 1913, ee Miss Calliope’s Cure The Good Result of a Shock By EUNICE DRAKE “Poor Calliope!” murmured Hester Beton as she glanced up at the win- flows of the Delmore house on the hill, “Lazy Calliope Delmore!” sniffed her mother, panting as her too abundant flesh trudged up the graveled path to the front door. “Did you ever see such a neglected dooryard In all your life?” “You're her second cousin, ma, Why don't you try to give her a mite of a piece of your mind-—kind of a second cousin's slice? asked Hester sarcas- tically. “And have my head bit off!” retort- ed her mother. *I spoke to Calliope fifteen years ago when Carrol Fenton went off and married that city girl. Says I. ‘Cal, for the land's sake don't take to vour bed’ (she was acting all broken up about the matter); ‘just turn your face to the world and act like you don't care." “What did she say?" asked Hester ded Carrol, Most every girl in Little Aver was setting a cap for him.” Emmeline winced, aud her double hin quivered. “There ain't many of ‘em gone to bed sick cover It" she said hatefully, apd without waiting for a reply she trem- sled to ber feet and walked to the foor. “Come, Hester; we got to be joing.” “I wondered what brought Emmeline aere,” wurmured Calllope, taking up her work again. “Of course after she'd visited In Millerton she had to come around and see how | took news of Jarrol Fenton What flends women san be!" She bit off her thread with her strong white teeth and looked dreamily out of the window and sniffed the spley fragrance of the cinnamon roses. “Happened right heére by the cinna- mon roses,” she whispered to herself. ‘I was so happy, and he said he was afrald he bad made a mistake, and I gave him back the ring. Seems like ill the strength went out of my legs that very minute. [ #'pose, coming so soon after mother's long sickness and feath, it upset me. If they all knew how 1 wanted to stand and walk around and be like other folks, only somehow there's no spring back of it all. Dr. Brown says he can't do a thing, and he talks about will power. I'm a useless mortal. But, there; Isabel says I ain't and if It wasn't for me she wouldn't bave a home!” Calliope smiled through sudden tears. “Looks like she'd soon have a handsome home if she marries Newton. He's a fine fellow; but, Lord forgive me, it does rankle to think my girl should marry curiously. “Say? pess! When the rheumatiz goes out of my legs I reckon I'll get up and walk with the best of ‘em. over Carrol Fenton. rheumatiz! if you've got any business of your own to tend to it and let mine alone!” So I don't never interfere with Calliope Delmore. She can Judgment day.” “Well, she don't lay abed much, and I'm suffering with you must admit that she's busy as a | bee with her fingers from morning till night. enough to make a living for em.” “Humph! A woman forty years old ain't no right to be chair rid as I can Bee. bel don't come I shall walk right in.” Hester rapped loudly and once more pulled the knob of the rusty bell wire. A window sash screeched up, and a worhan's voice called musically: “Come in, whoever youn be. [Isabel ain't to home.” Mrs. Seton and Hester tried the door and, finding it locked, walked around the path to the side entrance. They pushed open the screen door and walk- ed Into Calllope Delmore's sitting room.

Comparatively few people thoroughly realize whet a delicate and sensitive structure the human ear really is. That which we ordinarily designate so is after all, only the outer porch of & series of winding passages which, like the lobbles of a great building, lead from the world without to the world within. Certain of these passages cone tain liquid, and their membranes are stretched like parchment curtains | across the corridor of different places and can be thrown into vibrations or! made to tremble like the head of af drum or as the surface of a tamboy | rine does when struck with a stick or with the fingers. Between two or three parchment-like curtains a chain of very small bones extends, which serves to tighten or relax these membranes and to communicate vibrations to them. In the innermost place of all a row of white threads, called nerves, stretches lke the strings of a plano from the last point to which the tremblings or thrillings reach and pass inward to the brain. Keeps Tab on the S8hipowners. The captains’ register at Lloyd's, the great English insurance concern, has aptly been described as the blograph- fecal dictionary of the whole of the certificated commanders of the British TENER'S TREACHERY. Mr. Editor: —— It seems our honorable Governor didn't see sufficient merit in the state | soldier to give his approval to the pension bill passed by the last legis- lature, It seems after fifty years’ patient waiting, Mr. Tener wasn't willing to allow the soldier who help- ed to save the state and nation the small pittance of seven dollars and fifty cents per month--not encugh to buy the old man's tobacco, A person would think that those who are made the beneficiaries of the soldiers’ suf- fering and privations would deem it proper to show some expressions of gratitude In the way of helping him to a little mite of Uncle Bam's bounty Those men have been elevated by the assistance of the soldiers’ votes to high, honorable and lucrative posi- tions, It would seem that the soldier would have a claim on their gen- erosity. But no; they stand like a lot of dastardly cowards wih thelr gleaming ponlards ready to stab the poor old man in the dark. How much better are such men than Captain Jack, Aaron Burr or Wilks Booth? It is useless to quote Captain Jack or Aaron Burr for it ig not supposed that Tener ever read history enough to know there ever was such men. If those men are any better than those above named would take a micro- scope to see the difference Whon Wilks Booth went into Ford Thea- ter he didn't go up to Lincoln and smile in his face and give him =a hearty hand shake, then shoot him Booth didn’t do business that way and didn't pretend to be Lincoln's friend When Tener nt ttyshurg he LM uogwILIqN] 30333d sourjosTD) . oy nO dwwy Vd "HONNESSLLd "0) SoM [IQ ApRavy to moqu [[e-yooq ofed QZ Loi spaoj—oed-—uryy uoqred ynoyy [0 omy No, Maud, dear; It isn't altogether harmonious for a person who i8 blue- blooded to have a red nose International Opera eng Star Course this vear. bers, $1.

Lay aside your own hat, child, and if you'll go to the cellar you'll find some root beer. Isabel made it three days ago. and it's Just right now “How be you, Calliope? asked Mrs. Beton reluctantly, for she made it a point not to acknowledge that anything was serieus)y amiss with her second cousin. She always spoke impatiently to Calliope, just as if she would like to pick her out of the big Boston rocker and send her hurrying around the house in a healthy, normal manner. “Well,” said Calliope cheerfully, “It's dreadful hot, ain't it, Em 7?' “Awful. You must appreciate this call. It's tuckered me out to cmb the hill,” said Mrs. Seton, fanning herself vigorously. “Who Is the carpet for now, Calllope 7 “Lida Soper.

Mrs. Seton blinked rapidly. “New- ton's half nephew to Carrol Fenton. ain't he?” “You ought to know, Em.” retorted Calliope dryly, “seeing that you almost | married Newton's father.” Mrs. Seton bridled ne she threw up her large pink hands, “Don’t get to talking to Hester about my beaus, Calllope.

That was Carrol Fenton. She knew the minister's little carriage. but the horse was a strange one to her. Perhaps Carrol was dying down there alone in the road! Who would go for help? If only Isabel was there! The she | horse might return and trample him. | Calliope was afraid of horses She closed her eyes and prayed for help. When she opened them she smiled oddly and placed her hands on | the arms of her chair. She kicked aside | the hassock and stood upon her feet She put out one foot, and it support- ed her weight. She stood upon the other. Then with sudden energy she | picked up the untouched glass of root | beer that Hester had poured for her, | | staggered across the room to the door | and stumbled to the porch and down | the steps. Then Calliope Delmore, who had sat | in a chair for fifteen years with belp- | less limbs, ran down the Inclined path | | to the front gate and gained the road. With the action came renewed life | and a sense of buoyancy and youth. Newton Deane and Isabel Delmore, driving slowly home through the gold- | en afternoon, saw Calliope run down | the path, and Isabel was so frightened that she hid her face on Newton's shoulder. It was easier to do It be | cause his arm was already around her watched Calliope as they might have | witnessed the ghost scene In a play. She darted out of the gate and down the sloping path to the shattered phae ton. Carrol Fenton's eyes were wide open, and his face was white and drawn. The body of the vehicle rested on one of his legs. “Calliope!” he gasped when she knelt beside him and held the root beer to his lips. “I was just coming to see you, dear,” he whispered—"coming to ask your forgiveness, and you know the rest,” he murmured. “Of course | know It,” sald Calliope, practically not knowing that her eyes were full of tears. “Your coming this way has worked a miracle. f've run every step of the way, and | guess | can keep on my feet now. | #'pose | ought to be mad at you, Fenton, but how can I be when we all make such mistakes?" They were holding hands and smiling at each other with the deeper understanding of matured love, the woman who had just recovered her power to walk and the middle aged minister, suffering agonles from a broken leg. Newton Deane and Isabel, watching them from the buggy, suddenly under. stood. They, too, smiled at ench other, “I guess we'll have a double wed ding.” whispered Newton. and Isabel nodded and murmured in vepiy: — swe her any grudge because she mar- Or — pon 4 er “Isn't It beautiful?” in | The horse stopped stock still, and they | y out of the patient, if thy heawt he sure that TH the WorlY there Is sods one who will pu | e¥ f nish thee” Early New York had bees places on the coast idvantages New the mos before were its int Its irhor wk me great + | and the it alive t sing ble riv The othe off er which emptied into towns on ti! the far | mountains or the | follow the Atlantic | of 100 to 200 miles from it fr gia to Maine But the Hudson | broke through this barrier and gave New York easy access to Canada and the profitable Indian trade.

Pure silk is animal matter, Just as feathers or halr, made, as every one knows, by the silkworm. Now. if pure silk burned it will instantly curl up into a crisp mass, just as a burnt hair or feather will do. but if the silk goods has been adulterated with from G0 to 75 per eent of tin it will not do this. It will leave an ash in the semblance of the fabric, much as a burned piece of newspaper will leave an ash that still shows the print Ing. The harder and more firm this ash the more tin there was In the silk ~New York American Painless and Portraits, “A famous artist has it so much ens ler than an unknown painter.” “How so?" “The unknown painter has to make his portraits look like the people he paints, The people a famous artist paints are willing to try to look like their portraits.” Pittsburgh Post, in An Oversight, “I want to pay this bill" he sald at the hotel Lar, “but | think you have made a slight error here In my favor.
