He was "Neck or Nothing" to his friends, "that blundering fool" to his critics. He had no enemies. In conversation he was as keen a sportsman as Drayton West, who led the county; in execution he hardly kept pace with the rank and file, whose order he spoiled every time by his uncon trollable energy. He would start for a round of golf 'ull of joy and promise and return within an hour to the clubhouse with bits of clubs sticking out of his pockets ami a badly ricked back. They fay that after one of his rounds they had to practically remake the links, and there's an old story of a ferocious swing of his when he missed the ball, twirled round like a teetotum and sat on the tee. At billiards he would dig holes in the ta ble, send his ball through the window and then complain of the light, while on the football field it was a case of save himself who can, for he was like a roaring bull let loose. Those were exciting times, too, when he made up his mind to ride a bicycle and deputed Willy and a stable boy to support him. Willy was his smooth faced younger brother, frail in health and slight in build. His courage, however, was in domitable. and he needed it, for the learn er's struggle's were simply superhuman. One would have hardly thought it possi ble for a mere man to twist metal tubes into such weird shapes, and when he made up his mind to fall of! no power on earth could stop him. Ho always fell on Willy, who would go under like a sapling before the avalanche, merely ejaculating "Oh!" as the breath was crushed out of his frail body. Willy never murmured, but it became evident that he was sinking under the strain, aud the pastime was abandoned. When "Neck or Nothing" went to Mon te Carlo no one was surprised that he lost all his monpy the first night. He took it very much to heart, refused to send for a remittance or borrow from his friends, tramped back across France and arrived home one daybreak in magnificent health and tatters. He brooded constantly over his losses—though no one else did—and spent one sleepless night trying to hit OD some means of curtailing his expenses. Next day he left off collars, for collars, he argued, were an item of expense that was uever paid for, and he stuck to his point. There are not many men who can relinquish cellars aud still stand bb well with the fair sex, but it is a fact that, lifter the first shock, "Neck or Nothing's" lady friends liked him better than ever. They called him Achilles 11. and wrots some verses on the subject. Of course the reduction of his washing bill hadn't really anything to do with it; but, to prove to the world the success of his ex periment, he shortly afterward invested in a big racing motor car and went to th« builders to bring It home himself. What happened on that journey no man knows. The route was original, anyhow, for we kept getting telegrams from all sorts of unexpected places. The start was pro pitious for"Going strong," "Absolutely the very best," "Faster and faster" wer« the flrst messages we received. Then, aft er a silence lasting a day and a half came a pitiful win, "Seud help!" followed in a couple of hours by another, "Bend more help!" A relief party started in hot haste, only to return apprehensive and crestfallen. The career had been easy tc follow to a certain point, then the clew suddenly vanished. In many small towns "That 'ere motor car" formed the topic of street corner conversation. At one place it had been a resolute stand which had led to some friction between its goad ed driver and a disrespectful rustic in a hay cart. The scene ended in a novel manner, for while our friend was taking frenzied headers into the complicated ma chinery and hurling menaces at the same time he received an electric shock of such violence that his opponent was bound in common humanity to jump down from his cart aud help strnighten him out. At the next town the relief party be came aware of such a sour and thwarted expression on the faces ot the constables, such a nervousness about the horses and such a scarcity of dogs that they wisely refrained from further Inquiry. How ever, after half a week's suspense, came the final telegram, "Arrive at 4 o'clock sharp," and at that hour quite a gather ing turned out to welcome the wanderer. Hut the white highroad stretched before us long and bare, with nothing to relieve the monotony but an old road mender steering a noisy track on his ancit-nt tri cycle. Ho much for "Neck or Nothing's" vauuted punctuality, and we still gazed «l the point where the road disappears over the hill when the creaking stopped, the road mender dismounted, and there —won, grim, wear and disheveled —stood "Neck or Nothing" himself. Some seized him by the hand, some, they say, fell upon his neck, but all with one voice exclaimed: "But where's the motor ear?" "Neck or Nothing" glanced nt the rusty 6trneture at his side. "I'm sorry to disappoint you," he said, "but I swapped it with an old road mend er for this. The poor old chap seemed willing. Heaven knows I was." His voice sounded far away nnd unfa miliar. bis face was refined by suffering, but be wore the grateful air of a man freed from a haunting care. Shortly after this there happened to "Neck or Nothing" what happens to all a trifling event to some, to him a catas trophe. He fell in love. It was just about this time that Flora first appeared upon the scene, and It was always pool Flora's fate to be a disturbing element. would have b<"-.i •><•>• !> mure The Vice of Nagging.

Paul en <& Co guaranttee satisfac tion. peaceful and so much less interesting Without her. Her face was lik< :i picl her blue eyes melting and sympathetic and her voice so caressing that every body's heart went out to her at once. At first all went well, the girls took It in turn to sit next to her and hold her hand; the men stood by and looked on. Gradually, however, this order of thiugs became reversed, and then, of course, lo cal politics grew complicated, it really wasn't Flora's fault-at least, she told u» it wasn't. She always felt the need of affection, and if people did love her how could she prevent them from telling he? so? It was not very long, as may be Imagined, before her attention wan turned to our hero. She was very gentle with bim and took him so seriously that ho took her seriously too. And one night at a dance, when he had torn her train and broken her fan, he was just going to itell Uer all his worries when Drayton Weal ram* up and claimed the next flanw. Drayton West was well bred aod good looking and left poor "Neck or Nothing" as fairly routed on the field as he was on the parquet. Kor the rest of the evening he eat alone in a corner of the gallery, looking down at the dancers—he never took his eyes off Flora, and I think she was quite nware of the fact. "Neck or Nothing" did not goto bed that night. He tramped twenty miles through brake and brier, and whan next morning he pre sented himself before his enchautress he was wild eyed and determined. The in terview was short and stormy. "Will you marry ma? Yes or no?" was the thunderbolt he launched at her grace ful head. Flora sank down on the setteo with a contented sigh, and, in her tender hearted way, tried to temporize. But he would h'we none of it. He refused to come he;e and sit down, he refused to have a nice comfortable talk, he refused to be a good, sensible boy. "Yes or no," and "Yes or no" only, was the refrain. Of course this did not suit Flora at all. She didn't want to marry him, but she did want to be nice to him, but at length, finding him monotonously obdurate, she admitted regretfully enough: "Well, if you will, of course it's no." "Neck or Nothing" laughed loudly and rudely. "Of course it is!" he cried and walked out of the room and out of the house, and, to Flora's evident disappointment, he never came back. For three whole months he detached himself from frivolous society, and if his friends missed him so did his tailor, for when first stricken, the need of Flora and new suits had been simultaneous symp toms. It was calculated that when the fever was at its height he changed his at tire every twenty five minutes, and what attentions he could spare from his divin ity were bestowed on color schemes in socks and ties. But the answer was no, and our hefo went home to find consola tion in a pipe, an old jacket and boots that were big enough. One day in autumn we all rode to Ken nythorpe. Flora was anything but an intrepid horsewoman, but she looked very beautiful in her habit, and Drayton West rode by her side. It was surely the finger of fate that drew "Neck or Nothing" to Kennythorpe that day, for as we cantered down the High street we saw him riding toward us. "Neck or Nothing" rides that sort of a horse you can hit with a stump and it doesn't mind. He called it a Welsh pony, and people said it was hollow, for Its sides reverberated like a drum as he clattered along the road and belabored them. At the sound of his approach our horses laid back their ears and began to fidget, and there seemed some possibility of a stampede, when all of a sudden a fresh incident occurred which engaged everybody's attention. We happened to be on the bridge which crosses the slug gish little river Ivenny when there rose a sudden clamor, and we saw a child strug gling in the water. Flora went very white. "Oh, do save it!" she cried. Drayton West dismounted immediately and as he did so he glanced at his late rival and could scarcely repress a laugh, for, quick as thought, "Neck or Nothing" had dashed from his horse and leaped upon the parapet of the bridge. The next instant we saw him throw his arms above his head and dive elaborately into a cou ple of feet of water and half a foot of mud. Scared before, the child screamed with redoubled vigor at this fresh calam ity, and Drayton West ran down the blink at the side of the bridge ami drew her into safety with the handle of his hunting crop. When "Neck or Nothing' had got some of the mud out of his eyes and found, after a great deal of flounder ing, that ho was standing in about two feet of water, he discovered that the res cue had been gracefully accomplished and the assembled company was incapable with laughter. But there were two exceptions —the wet child still shrank from him in terror, and I noticed that Flora's blue eyes were full of tears, "Neck or Noth ing" saw them, too, and he at least had no doubt as to the emotion which brought them there. Alas for the schemes of mice and men, that ride to Ivennythorpe hardly turned out as Drayton West had intended. NVe waited while "Neck or Nothing" got a change, and, on the return journuy, Flora's horse had rather more of the Welsh pony's company than it cared about. "Flora," said I the next day, " 'Neck or Nothing' seemed to find a great deal to say to you last night." Flora smiled n little ruefully. "Yes," she said with a sigh, "I expect I shall have to marry him." And she did.—King. There are villages near the Universi ty of Oxford where no notion of med ical science has penetrated and where Charms are the only recognized cure for disease. A woman who has lately been lecturing In the neighborhood on sanitation found that whooping cough was always treated by spider. The spider was sewed Into a piece of mus lin and hung on a curtain rod, and the death of the spider meant the end of the cough. Not long ago a child was seized with the Illness, and the doctor ordered "poultices on the chest." When he returned, he found that the mother had carefully laid the poultices on the oak chest which stood by the bedside. The remedy appeared to her perfectly natural. f'roflfClovrr. A Missouri farmer is thus quoted in the Maryville (Mo.) Tribune: "I sowed ten acres of clover, using as seed one bushel, which cost me ?<>. I sold from that ten acres twenty tons of hay for flOO— s."> n ton and thirty-six and a hall' bu>liels of seed for Then I Fold the crop of hay for sl6. That made the receipts from my ten acres S3OB. The seed cost me SO, and I was at an expense of about SOO, so my aet prolits off the ten acres of ground were $-•!-, almost $25 an acre." How She Knew.
