I j SARAH, I 1 Ml SUING DO\ALD ss H __ ALIE\ >5 I HEROSM: II Copyright. 1908, by Beatrix Reade jj| "Look here, Jim" began Colville one evening, when her brother .lames camo home to supper, "in walking past the tavern this afternoon I saw a strange young man." "Yes, there is one there," was the re ply. "Who is he?" "I can't tell you much about him. His name is Ripley, I believe, and he's come down fri»m the city for a four weeks' vacation. He was asking me about boating and tishing." James Ilalliday was a carpenter of the village of Rranchville. His sister Sarah kept house for him. Sarah Ilalliday had lived for thirty - three years and no man had hinted of matrimony to her. She never pretend ed to good looks, but she always in sisted that she was tender hearted and had emotion sufficient to make a great actress. Her failure to bring men to the point had rankled, and she had finally made up her mind to do a little hustling for a husband. She had seen the young man sitting on the hotel veranda with his feet cocked up on the railing, and he had at once been tnark eil down. He had looked after her in an eager way, and she Mattered herself that she had made an impression. "If Mr. Ripley is all alone down here he must be lonesome," she said to her brother Jim after supper. "Yes, he may be." "Then you'd better saunter up to the tavern and show him that you want to be friendly. You can bring In, If you want to, that I noticed him this after noon. We've got the mill pond here, and we've got a boat and fishing tackle, and It seems our duty to make the stran ger's stay as pleasant as possible. You know how you'd feel if you were away from home." The brother dutifully obeyed orders, He found Mr. Ripley smoking a cigar on the veranda. He mentioned Sarah, the mill pond, the boat and the black bass waiting to be caught, and Mr Ripley replied that he should surely take advantage of the situation. He didn't set any date, however, and when he came home to supper on the follow ing evening the brother observed to the sister: "What do you think, Sarah? That Susan Jones ta:.* somehow managed to ins ll^ 1 SHE CRIED TO HIM AGAIN Ajn> AOAIN. get acquainted with the stranger, and he's over at her house playing croquet." "Jlin, you don't tell me that for a fact!" she gasped. "Of course I do!" "Iliunph! The freshness of Miss Susan Jones must lie seen to at once." And It was. Miss Sarah speedily donned another dress, tixed up a bit, and, leaving her brother to eat alone, she started for the Jones house. Mr. Ripley and Susan were just finishing their last game. Sarah walked up to Susan and whlsperingly asked for an Introduction and forced the Issue. When she returned home Mr. Ripley accompanied her, and lie didn't leave the house until 10 o'clock. He had made himself very agreeable, and when he had departed Jim observed: "By thunder, Sarah, but 'sposin' you could marry a feller like him!" "I mean to!" was Sarah's laconic re ply. The next day Jim was left out of It. Sarah and Mr. Hipley took the boat and went fishing, and before they returned she thought she knew her man pretty well. He was romantic. lie was in clined to be a hero. He quoted poetry. He sighed to find and love a heroine. When Jim came home that evening there was a twinkle in his eye, and after bearing about the fishing trip he said: "Mr. Ripley seems to be a feller who gets acquainted with folks pretty fast. I just saw him walking home with Tlllle Craves." "You don't mean it!" exclaimed Sarah as she paused in the act of ponr lng out 'he tea. "That's what 1 saw. She was at the tavern to see the landlord's wife, and I 'spose she was Introduced." "Well, I'll put a stop to that pretty sudden. I told Mrs. Craves only last wee!; t.'int 'l'iilie was altogether too conceited." Again Jim was left t« eat his even Inn meal slone while t. •" sister started out with aggressive steps. She saw Tlllle and Mr. Uipley at the gate while she was yet a long way off. She walked straight up to them and observed that It was a beautiful evening for seeing the mill dam and bore the stran :er away When the pouring waters of the dam had been sufficiently admired the young man was walked to the Hal llday homestead and kept busy quot ing poetry and drinking cider until 11 o'clock. In the course of a couple of weeks at least half a dozen girl- were intro duced to Mr Uipley l>y the landlord's wife, and each and every one of them set out for a flirtation with him. Each and ever} one of them came to grief, however. Sarah was In evidence, and when she butted in the others had to butt out. At the end of a fortnight she felt herself as good as engaged. Mr. Itlpley had praised her strength and skill in rowing, her luck in fishing and her emotional temperament, and she had several times caught him glancing at her as a man only glances when his admiration is aroused. 110 had been asked to tea three or four times, and the two had boated and fished every afternoon, and all was going well. "How's it coming out, Sarah?" asked brother Jim one morning at tlio break fast table. "There's only one thing needed," she replied. "Haven't you noticed that he Is always talking about heroes and heroines?" "Yes." "if I were a heroine he'd pop the question inside of twenty-four hours." "But how can you be?" "I can't say just now, but I'm going to think it over during the day." That afternoon she received a note l'roin Mr. Itlplcy excusing himself from en Ilia? on the ground of a slight ill ness, and two hours after she had read the note she learned that he was sit ting on the piazza with the Widow Phelps, who had had two husbands and wanted a third. Sarah planned fast from that time on. Sarah had leu rued that Mr. Ripley arose and break fasted at N o'clock He then spent an hour on the veranda smoking and reading. The mill dam was not a hundred feet away and in plain view. Next morning as the young man on a vacation sat smoking, he heard some one calling his name. lie looked up, and there was Sarah Ilalllday in an oarless boat floating down upon the dam. She cried to him again and again, and it was plain to him that she must be swept over the falls and drowned. The best thing he could do, however was to fall over his rocking chair and roll down the steps. Right under his eyes the boat went over the dam, and right under his eyes a sawmill man, who had never longed to be a hero, fished Sarah out with a long pole. She was a heroine, but insensible. They rolled her on a barrel. They dragged her around in the sawdust. They car ried her home on a slab and sent for Jim and the doctor. She was wrung out and put to bed, and it was two days later when Jim was permitted to ask: "Now, then, what in the old Harry were you doing in that boat at that hour in the morning?" "Rowing," she answered. "How came you to lose the oars?" "I wanted to be rescued." "Oh, I see. You wanted to be a hero ine, eh, and you wanted to give Ripley | a clianoe to play the hero?" "Has he sent me any (lowers?" she asked, avoiding a direct reply to his question. "Naw!" "Rut he surely called?" "How could he call when he took a j skate that very forenoon?" bluntly re | plied the brother. "Did he see me all wet and w'opsy?" "Of course, and that's why he skated!" Poor Sarah! She had hustled, but she had lost. BARBER SURGEONS. H ht>n lie Ita/.or iiiml (lie Sealpel Were Linknl In One Trade. More than 4<m» years old is the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. At the time It was founded the surgeons and barbers of the city were united as one of the fourteen incorporated trades of Edinburgh. On July 1, ir.nr,, they received their charter from the town council. The charter of the bar ber surgeons was confirmed by James IV., an early Stuart king of great en lightenment and accomplishment, who took much interest in the progress of the surgeons on account of the needs of his army in time of war. In the charter leave was given to the incorporation to control the medical education of the city, such as it was in those days; of bloodletting, to have the sole right of practice an I to put down quacks. They were to get every year the body of a criminal who had been executed to practice anatomy on. and they promised in return t<> do "suf frage for his soul." Of the first l.'-t meinhers of the Incorporation six were surgeons to the kings of Scotland. As society improved and medieal sci ence developed the gulf betwecu the surgeons and barbers widened, and in 1771', as the result of a process in the court of session, the connection was finally terminated. The deacon, or president, of the incorporation of sur geons was for more than «s2<> years a member of the town council of Edin burgh, ex officio, and several of the deacons were members of the Scottish parliament. Hem ll«' There is a very forgetful girl iu Den ver, living up on Washington street. Fearing a young man who called on her last week would stay too long she set the clock In the parlor half an hour ahead. She was tired, having been out horseback riding that day, and wanted to get to bed early. The scheme worked. Ilut then she forgot to turn the clock back and, having numerous young men friends, she also very < are lessly forgot which one It was. Last night the young man called again. The clock was still fast and he no ticed It. "That clock Is wrong. Isn't it?" ho asked. "Yes," she replied. "I set it ahead so a fellow who called Wednesday night would go home In time to let mo get some sleep." "The clock fooled him nil right," said the caller quietly. "Ilow do you know?" she asked. The young man smiled a sickly smile. "I called Wednesday night." The girl coughed. "We're having so much trouble In getting a hired girl," she said.

The following cure for indigestion Is recommended by the eminent Dr. Bond In the London Lancet, a medical Jour nal of world wide repute. "The Indigestion must be a very hopeless one," say-i Dr. Bond, "which will not yield to a diet of a small cup of warm milk to which a teaspoonful of rum has been added, followed by a plain biscuit or two and some very mild cheese, paradoxical as this com bination may seem." According to Dr. ISond, there is a subtle harmony between these ingre dients that does the business. I!nrllii|iiu !■«»«% iiM.

At her first dinner 111 the house she wore the whole outfit. one morning the actress appeared In the dining room In a state of great per turbation.

She alone of the dozen board ers seemed to remember that lie had come In late. He had lagged behind to enter the actress' room and steal her jewelry. That blush betrayed his guilt to the stenographer. She almost ex pected him to throw the chamois big on the table and ask to lie given five years instate prison. Not until after the boarders had scat tered from breakfast was It suggested that all submit to bo searched, an then it was too late. There were eight een boarders, including the actres: One of the other seventeen must be guilty.

When the evening paper came out with Its account of "Hold Robbery— Au Actress I.oses $25,0<>0 Worth of Diamonds In a Hoarding House," Miss Delamar fainted away, and after her recovery her was pitiful to hear. It was s<i pitiful that the stenog rapher decided to temporize no longer. Ever since slic looked the bank clerk In the eyes and noticed h!s blush she had been convinced of his guilt. Sho had said nothing to any one, and she rather expected that he would seek an early opportunity of restoring the bag anil thus avoid state prison. He didn't re store it at lunchtlmo nor during the half hour before dinner, when he could have done so. That pitiful moaning started Miss Rleree upstairs. She knocked at the door of the bank clerk's room, and It was opened to her. Standing In the hall and speaking in a low but decided voice, she said: "Mr. Tillman, it Is a pity and a shame!" "Reg pardon, but I don't quite under stand," he replied. "I am referring to the robbery this morning." "Ah! Have the detectives any clew ?" "1 don't know, but I have. The rob ber Is here in the house this minute. Should he restore the diamonds I shall nothing: tf he refuses I shall bo tray his Identity." "I>enr me, but you know the rascal, then?" "I have known him ever since I look ed into his eyes at the breakfast table and he blushed." "And did you wish to give mo his name In conlidence?" softly asked the bank clerk. Ills braxenness angered the girl, and with hot cheeks she looked him square In the eyes and replied: "He stands before me, sir." "Indeed! Miss Rierce, will you kind ly Inform me how you came to suspect me?" "First, from my study of pliysiogno . my; second, from your blush when I I looked at you." "Miss Bierce, if I hadn't Mushed and dropped my eyes when you looked at me across the breakfast table would you have suspected me of tills rob bery ?" asked the bank clerk after a moment. "I i! in't think so.' "Then it was unfortunate fur me. As a matter of fact, I have had that habit | for years when guilty of anything and ■ have tried in vain to break myself ; of It." | "And you will restore the diamonds i at once?" si agerly asked. | "You have depended on physiognomy I In this case.

The detective who was here today asked where she bought tlie jewels, and she failed to remember the name of the house. Deduction: She didn't want to." "Sir. you have become brazen again!" exclaimed the stenographer. "Last night," he continued as if he hadn't heard her, "I sat here in my room for half an hour without a light and the door slightly ajar. Hearing a noise In the hall, I quietly looked out and saw a lady standing on the sill of the hall window. Deduction: Up to snuff. 1 think she pinned something to the Inside of the curtains, near tile top. I made sure it was Miss Delamar. De duetlon: Seek, and ye shall find. Sup pose we seek." Miss Bierce followed the bank clerk down the hall to the window. Close up to the pole she saw the chamois baa and motioned liini to reach it down. "No use to have any trouble about it," lie said as he placed the bag In her hand. "«"nil her up to your room ancl tell her that you found her Jewels where she had mislaid them.

Some one called Elgle, and she hur ried away, giving a pleading glance at her lover which he Interpreted as coun seling him to patience. "And as for running," continued the squire, with increasing choler. for be, too, had seen the pleading glance, "as for running, why should a man of ordl- THEN* A KTiiEAR OF IiLVE DASHED 111' HIM. nary courage care to excel as a runner? Running Is an accomplishment for cow ards!" The blood rushed to the dark face, but Reed spoke quietly and cour teously. "There are things to run for as well as things to run from, Mr. Hart, and I hope I'd not be lacking If a test of courage came to me." It was a merry party that roamed over the fields and through the woods searching for the earliest spring flow ers; that rode and drove and sang and danced. Young Iteed and his fair hostess car ried heavy hearts that made gayety an effort and laughter a mockery. The squire had refused to sanction their en gagement, to listen to any suggestion or to make any promises for the fu ture. "I'll wait," he said grimly, "until you have shown that you can do something besides run!" Apparently oblivious to the sports of the guests at Hart's liolm, the squire had kept a keen eye on them all. lie rather admired the dogged pertinacity with which Heed took his daily run of three or four mites over the country roads. He smiled grimly when he saw the young fellow start out as if for u walk wearing a long raincoat over his running togs. "Doesn't mean to give any unneces sary offense to the 'crewel parleut,'" chuckled the squire appreciatively, "but intends to have his own way just the same. "It'll bo rather quiet and lonely at the house tomorrow," soliloquized the squire as lie drove along, sniffing the fresh, clear air of the bright spring morning. "The lads and lassies all go today. 1 wish I hadn't been quite so sharp with Elsie and that young fellow. He seems a fine, manly chap. But what on earth does he want to run for?" end ing irritably. "Hello, ltartlett, what's tlie matter with your horse?" lie had reached the top of a long, steep hill, and overtaken a neighbor with a heavy load of rock. "Stepped on a stone that rolled, and gone us lame as a lazy man's excuses," Bartlett answered characteristically. "Suppose 1 hitch in my team and take the load down for you," suggested the squire, "It's all level after we pass my house. You can lead yours down. Sit still, Betty Bartlett, and hold on tight." playfully addressing the little girl perched on the seat. "My horses are frisky, you know." Bartlett had locked the wagon wheels preparatory to making the descent, but as the squire lifted the tongue for ttie other horses to be hitched in the lock chain snapped and broke and the heav ily loaded wagon started down the hill. He shouted to Bartlett, who, ham pered by the four horses, lost his head and only bawled, "Wboo, Hart, whoa!"

And then he tried to close his eyes—for there, crossing the road, directly In the path from which he dared not diverge, was a little scarlet clad figure drawing a child's cart!

He tried to pray, he tried again to close his eyes, and then a streak of blue dashed by him, the scarlet spot was caught up and rushed to safetyl He jumped instinctively when he reached the little cart, and it was crushed to pieces under the thundering wheels. He had reached the level. He could feel the slackening of the terrific speed, but lie still ran on, miles It seemed to him now, before he could stop the de mon that was forcing him onward. "Co on, horsy! Gidd up!" cried the insatiate Hetty as the squire dropped limp to the ground.

SAKAII E SNYDER Adminstratrix Liberty Township, Montonr Co.. Pa . May s 1(100 CENTRALIA MUST BE VACATED With the very heart of Centralia's | business district ordered vacated by the Lehigh \ alley Coal and iron com pany by the first of August when the work of robbing the pillars beneath that part of the town will be started, the very life of that town is now threatened and its business death is only a matter of a short time. The gravity of the situation that faces that town was ascertained yes terday the facts leaking out through the search of the deed book- now be ing made by counsel for the parties who have been warned out, and who were innocent purchasers, in many in stances, not knowing that when the land was first sold by the Locust Moun tain Coal and Iron company to land holders, the mineral rights were re served. Many of these parties who un knowingly purchased only the surface rights are now preparing to institute suit to recovi r for their loss. The laud upon which these proper ties stand was first c< nveyed by ih Locust Mountain Coal and Iron com pauy back in the sixties and scventie-, and in the changes of owners sine that time there has been a failun t » set forth in many instances that Hi doed carried only the surface rights. The citizens of Centralia are uatiii all}' downcast over the situation that is staring them squarely in the fa-re. It means nothing else than the ex termination of the town for already valuations have depreciated and the taxes have necessarily been increas ed so that any growth of the town is out of the question. With practic ally all the land owners eventually re ceiving the same notices where they are above the workings of the coul company it requires no vivid iniagiua tion to realize that Centralia is m t bad way, to say the least. He who puts off uytil tomorrow what he ought to do today seldom catches up with the procession. NciScil CATARRH In all its etages.
