Howard Armstrong;, sentimentally Inclined from hia youth, was suddenly free, owing to the death of his moth er, to invest In a home of his own. Thus it chanced that one summer day when apparently he was examining the hotel register at Pinehurst he was In reality scanning a young girl who waited for her mall. "Best record made this season," ob served the clerk Impersonally, but pointing to the name of Miss Stuyve satit on the open page. - Therefofe Armstrong decided to Join the golf club, and though piqued by Miss Stuyvesant's unconcern of him as a new member, he yet fell in love with her as she strode over the links. He entered the tournament, and was drawn to play with her. In timacy begun on a golf basis forth with proceeded into the more subtle ways of moonlight seances. He even lent her a book. She analyzed Its contents without referring to Its mar ginal notes In his handwriting. So he put it In the Are. "Do you know what I did with it?" he asked her. "Keep It for the next girl; golf Is lots better than books," she answered, warding off the Implied tenderness In his tone. Then, of course, Armstrong decided to offer himself in golf terms, and having arranged his formula, took her to drive. "There are other than golf prizes to be won by you," be be gan. "What are they? I'll go lb for them." "Myself." As he uttered the word Its absurdity occurred to him, and let ting his horse go at full speed he ejaculated, "I didn't mean that, you were the prize I wanted to win." The torse tore down the steep hill. "Hold him In, can't you, you boy!" etclalmed Miss Stuyvesant. Seizing the reins she drew in the animal. As it walked slowly up another hill 'Armstrong recovered. "I beg your pardon, but mother never let ma aBk anybody, and I didn't know how; can t you try to like me?" he urged, meaning to catch hold of her hands instead of the reins. The horse started afresh. "Hold him in," she ordered. "Yes, if you will like me; if you don't, 1 shall kill myself." For a moment it seemed to Miss Stuyvesant very terrible to be re sponsible for another's life or death, et, as her sense of Justice made her Indignantly decline to accept either, the steed plunged forward and would not be held In before reaching the hotel. Consequently Armstrong left it, on the pretense of letters calling hira to Atlantic City. There he recovered from his wounded vanity through the wiles of a maiden who, Judging hlra to be a dude pessimist, considered him fair game either for bor mischief r her sympathy. "Will you not Join in our Sunday singing?" she entreated demurely. Whereupon Armstrong quickly found that from the piano to the piazza was but a short distance to a blighted being and an enterprising maiden, and that life appeared cheer ier after two weeks of golf talk. "Do you believe that love spring up in the heart at the sound of a voice?" h inquired of Mist Bruce one day when they were sitting together at "e piano. "Try A," the replied, striking the note on the keyboard. "I first fell la love with your voice nd then with yourself," he contin ued languidly. "A man's Just saying he loves a Jill is not very definite nowadays." "Then In plain English, will you marry me?" She ran her fingers lightly over the ikeys, which he tried In vain to pre vent. "You do me too much honor; 1 m greatly surprised; but I can't for 'o reasons. First, because you are yourself; second, because I was en gaged to-day after breakfast; it is to b announced at lunch; won't you congratulate me?" "After you have destroyed my faith In womankind?" "Say sex, Mr. Armstrong; It Is a commoner term," and bowing, she left the room by one door and he by ianoth with vi rt If- A i emit -w that mwa !way the inwardness of the seen to the waitresses who bad fatten peeking In at the window. ' Again did Armstrong resort ta the rise of letters recelevd as excuse for 'bis Immediate departure U Long Isl and. "I never had an offer; f won der how t should behave if such an event happened to me," he overheard one girl saying to another the morn ing after his arrival. Instantly Arm strong resolved she should have the opportunity of knowing. Assiduous ly he cultivated her acquaintance until she was goaded Into asking him what he had ever done. "Nothing much; only taking care of mother. What I shall do depends on you." "Do you mean you want to marry me?" Delighted at her freshness he broke forth Into ardent words. "Oh don't, Mr. Armstrong," she Interrupted; "really I couldn't. You see, this Is my first offer, so you won't be vexed at my question, and I don't know how men do it. I'm sorry if you care, but I'm going to college and to have a career, for, when the four years are over, there will be three In the medical school and I couldn't study well if I were In love." "Then you do care for me?" "No, really I don't care a bit. You are very nice, but not the kind of man a college graduate wants. You don't mind, do you?" "Yes, I do; but mother always told me never to marry a college girl; frivolous girls, she said, made better wives." "Good morning, Mr. Armstrong." "Good morning, Miss Raymond." Six months later Armstrong's fiancee showed htm a brooch she had received from three of her college friends. It was a golf stick resting on a bar of music with the college de vice below. "Confound Buch bad taste," mut tered Armstrong, angrily, remember Ing that the three girls to whom he had offered himself were at Psyche College. Could they have told each' other of his futile endeavors? Bos ton Post. EARNING A IlIO SALARY. Story Told About General Manager Frank Hedley, of the Interborougli. "How does a high salaried man earn his pay?" asks a writer in Sys tem, and proceeds to answer his own question with the following incident: "Some time ago Frank Hedley, the general manager of the Interborough, was waiting on a subway station platform. A train drew in with the power on, reached the stop signal and came to a sudden halt, Jolting the passengers and straining the machin ery. The incident gave him an idea. "He went to a manufacturer ot time clocks and gave an order for an experimental timepiece that would re cord elapsed time during which elec tric power was being used by the In terborough trains. The manufactur er in due time produced a small de vice that could be attached to the mechanism in the motorman's box In such rt way that the power could be turned on only after the time clock had been unlocked by the motorman's special key and the clock set In operation. "When the power was shut off the clock would record the exact moment. By this means the exact number of hours, minutes and seconds, during which that motorman consumed elec trie current was automatically re corded and a special device printed the total elapsed, time during the day's run. "The device was attached to the motormen's control boxes in all the trains on one line and experimented with for a month. Instructions were Issued to the motormen to coast into the stations by turning off the power as far distant from the stopping place as possible and come to a gradual halt after running some rods by the force of momentum. Rewards were offered to the men whose records showed the most economical use of electric power. "At the end of the month the engi neer of the line reported a reduction of over fifteen per cent, in the power consumed. The individual records ot the men showed a reduction ranging from ten per cent, to forty per cent, over the amount of power used pre viously. Time clocks have been or dered for the other Interborough lines. "It may be assumed that the same saving In power will be effected. The Interborough's annual coal bill for producing electric current Is $2,800,. 000, A saving ot fifteen per cent, means a saving of $294,000 a year on this Item alone to say nothing of the saving on wear and tear of machinery. The sum is considerably larger than Frank Hedley's salary." Antiquity of Shorthand. Shorthand Is apt to be lookel upon as an essentially modern art.

Young stock and dairy cows especially suffer from exposure to the cold rains which are common at this season, and their dlscomfor' is a dead loss to their owner. Farm ers' Home Journal. Hotter Cows. As to better cows, there is just one way to get them. That Is to get good sires, to test the cows for dairy work, to get rid of the poor ones and save calves only from those that pay their way. Doing this we can soon have as good dairy herds as are to be found anywhere. We have a few of them now, but all too few. Farmers' Home Journal. Skimmed Milk. Pigs fed on skimmed milk, cither iweet or sour, give good satisfaction, although cure should be taken not to change from one to tho other. Pigs leem Inclined to the sour rather than to the sweet, and in cither case grain foods should be fed with it Id order to make a balanced ration.

The wise farmer who went along bout his business, raising hogs and corn to feed them, Is reaping his re ward, while the foolish farmer Is gnashing his teeth with corn around ixty cents per bushel at the farm, and hogs uround $9 per 100 pounds at the home market, It is easy to figure the profits in the business.

They require very little more feed than other poultry nnd a great part of the years will pick up much of their feed If given range, as they go over large space In searching for food. But a small feed of grain given at night will bring them home ready to be shut up till after laying time next morning. They do well when kept in pens, and a twenty-four Inch fence will keep them confined In pens. We have bred 'hem for seven years and have noth ng but praise for them. Who would not give them praise with their beau tiful fawn and white markings, erect carriage and best of all their egg pro ducing qualities that is their pulling, power among poultry raisers?

On the average farm where It Is not the Intention to do extensive dairy work, we find many cows thnt are cross-bred animals. They have been bred w'ith the Idea of producing a dual purpose; or farmer's cows, as they are sometimes called. These cows are usually a cross between lome beef breed and a breed of dairy qualities, and as a result we have neither, but a mongrel whose good qualities are hard to discover. We have a cow that not only does not pro duce enough milk and butter to pay for the care and feed she receives, but produces a calf that does not de velop sufficiently to pay for the inilk and the feed it receives. There have been cows that produced a fair amount ot milk and butter, whose calves were better than the average dairy calf, but It must bo understood that these are exceptions and are hard to find. There are other points, too, that are against these cows doing their best. The feed and care many receive quite frequently consists only of pasture In summer and corn, hay, straw and cornstalks in winter. The milking is done out of doors most ot the year and the cows are only stabled during the severest weather. Farm ers' Home Journal. 1 'mmimmmmmmmmm ' - ' s c ...

To make tho combination all that Is necessary is to thrust the handle of the comb into the handle of the brush and one Im plement is formed. Instead, then, of raking a horse with the currycomb and going over him again with the brush, the whole operation can be performed with one stroke by passing the brush portion of the new imple ment over the path left by the preced ing stroke of the comb when the next sweep of the comb is made. In this way two horses can be cleaned in the Mine it used to take to groom one. Indian Runner Ducks. A more profitable kind of poultry than the Indian Runner Ducks would be hard to find. They were supposed to have been imported from India to England, where they aro great favor ites with the poultry raisers; they were first bred in tho United States about fifteen years ago, and have be come such a favorite with .the poultry raisers that for the past few years eggs and stock are in such demand that the breders can't fill the demands made on them for stock and eggs. They are not large, weighing from .four to five pounds. But such a sight, to see a flock of well fed Indian Run ners, their fawn and white markings, erect carriage, make them admired by all. But best ot all their egg pro ducing qualities, laying every month In the year. By culling and keeping best layers we have now a strain that are great egg producers. In the year of 1909 ours laid eggs every month; not so many eggs were laid through July and August, whila moulting, as other months, but in months ot De cember and when from five to ten bolow zero our laid well. Just think of going out and picking up eggs ot mornings out . of snow. And for standard requirements we now have them, duck and drake, with only fawn and white markings, no brown or pen ciling on duck or green or black head markings on drake. Ours last year made us an average of $7 per head for eggs alone from breeding stock, not counting stock sold. The eggs are very fertile. We have made ship ments and have had reports of every egg hatching. Several breeders re port their flock laying an average of more than 200 eggs and a tew 160 eggs each. The eggs are flue for table use; do not have the stroug flavor common to old-fashioned duck Poultry Notes. There is much less worry attached to dick raising than to other branches of poultry keeping. E. C, In the In diana Farmer. A pen of eighteen, fifteen duck and, three drakes, will furnish an abun dance of eggs. They will almost all give a strong duckling when wel cared for and properly mated. Another experiment showed that the average duckling required twenty five cents' worth ot feed to prepare him for market. Those in question were sold for fifty cents each; so o course there was good profit in them. The Pekin seems to be the favorite market duck, and holds its own well, but the Indian Runner is the breed to I get where eggs are the main item, I They will make rapid gains, too, when I well fed, for a duck Is like a pig In 1 Ihia rpsnert ! firlvA thpm l?nod feed Anil they will soon show you good results. The profit Is quick, so one Is able to use the money tor feeding later hatches of ducks nr fnr chirks. Tha ' earliest ducks bring the best prices, but there is a fair profit In the later ones, where one will furnish the feed. Unless you are situated where you can procure reasonably good eggs whenever you wish them, it Is much better to have a pen of breeders. Of late years the domand tor ducks has Increased greatly. That this In crease will continue Is a fact not to be doubted, so it will be a wise in vestment to procure several sittings of duck eggs, selecting the best ot the ducks for next season's breeding pen, and procuring good drakes In January to mate. This, of course, 11 conditions allow of your raising ducks. Where one is growing exclusively for market, it seems there Is more profit in ducks than chicks; some ex. perlments where both chicks and ducklings were taken at the same ag and fed the same ration, show that tho ducklings cost 1.9 cents a pound This is for a pound gain; the chlckd show a pound gain, cost 44 cents; the ducklings were also ready foi market, while tho chicks were yet too small. It Is almost unbelievable the rapid gain that hearty ducklings will make when fed right. Stolen Furs Found in Wilds. Fishermen, following a stream near Long Lake West, N. Y., came upon several bags containing expensive furs secreted In brush piles not fat from the bank. The furs had not been tauned, but what first looked like a case of smuggling developed Into a robbery. The furs were traced to a point north ot Montreal, whore they had beon stolon from a railway train en route. They were valued at $1300. and the railway company had already paid the claim upon them.

The bridegroom pays for his own carriage In which goes bis best ninn, for the wedding ring, the license, the gifts to the ushers and gives a fee to the minister, the organist and the sex ton.

She buys pretty dimity or muslin for eight or nine cents a yard, allow ing three yards and a half for each gown to be covered. The material is then divided In halves, and seamed up at each side; at the did designed for the bottom she makes a two-inch hem. At the other end she makes a seam for the top, from each side -t'tt'Ti. s'Winrsifj; ; ELiKfo PSSylJl' 'IT seam, leaving about seven inches un seamed In the centre. She cuts these unseamed edges in a curve, and binds them to form a neck, adding a pretty edge of imitation lace, half an inch or less In width.

But If these consej quences were too dire, I would not forbid them the hope of relief.

Acquaintanceship is the apprenticeship of true friends, but many acqualntancescan never become anythlug 'else, the balance of friend ship finds them wanting. t The best way to retain a friend Is to never ness privacy or affection to Impose on your friend's time or arrangements. Always give and take, your peculiarities sre prob ably as disagreeable to your frleud as bis or. bers are to you. Endure them, and so avoid bickerings. Never be led by gossip about what your friend has said about you. If it hurts your feelings, have it out fairly and squarely. Above all, keep confi dences inviolate, nothing breeds doubt !
