[THANKTTO" I
THE METER.
) By James Clean. (
/ Copyright, 1907. by M. M. Cunningham. (
"Please, have you a quarter?"
The girl from across the hall bekl out
a tiny hand, in the palm of which were
displayed three nickels and a dime.
Keenly conscious that there was a
hole, a most comfortable and satisfac
tory hole, in the elbow of his smoking
jacket, I)lgby held out his own hand,
unclosing his fingers to display the de
sired coin.
"Did you know what I was coining
after?" she said, with a laugh. Iligby
had never heard her laugh before. It
was a low, rippling laugh, almost as
attractive as her smile. lie wondered
how ho could Improve bis opportunity.
Ever since she had moved in he had
wanted to know the girl across the
hall. Had his mother been borne It
.would haw been all simpler, but he
had been keeping bachelor hall for
nearly throe months.
"Did you know I wanted the quar
ter?" she repeated. IMgby pulled him
self 'together.
"I am a seventh son," he declared
solemnly. "I know that you want the j
quarter. I can see you returning to
your apartment. I can see you climb- j
Ing on a chair and dropping tho coin i
Into the gas meter. I can see the light j
growing bright ugnln. Croat Is tho i
automatic meter—when you have a j
quajter."
"Yes, when!" she cried. "The other j
day we only had a check, and no one j
could cash it"
"Say no more." he commanded trag- j
lenity. "T know the rest"
"I'm very much obliged," she said
gratefully. "You are sure yon wont 112
need one?"
"Not at all," he assured. As though :
to prove him false tho gas in bis hall j
grew dim. "I have more change," ho i
explained, "and It's all right."
He watched her regretfully as she j
slipped back into her own apartment.
He had planned many brilliant encoun
ters In which lie would hold her en- j
thralled by his wit, and they wouMt Hve j

happily over after. Instead he had j
never been so dull, and perhaps he had i
lost his chai.' e.
The gas !:.:d gone out as he closed
the door and limped into the kitchen
He knew very well that it was useless
to search for a quarter. He had found
the one ho had just given up only after
a search. lie would li.ive t-» fall back
on candles, 'lliore were half a dozen in
the dining room, and by lighting four
he managed to read after a fashion.
But lie naa scarcely wnnu iiiu..-eu iu
his reading when the doorU ii rang i
again. lie wondered who it might be i
now as he made his way down tho |
dark hall. The girl across the hall stood !
there again.
"You fibbed," she said reproachfully. ■
"You said you had another quarter for
yourself. You let me drop yours iu our
meter, and wo can see across the shaft [
that you're using candles."
"I rather like them," he assured, but ,
she would have uone of it.
"You were just going to drop the 1
coin In your meter," she cried. "That
is why you had It in your hand."
In the face of deduction he was
dumb. Tho girl went on:
"I know you can't go downstairs to
get change because you hurt your an
kle. It wouldn't be any use anyway.
It's Sunday, and only the drug store is
open, and they are all out of quarters.
I was down there Just before I asked
you for one Mother says you must
come Into our flat and read. You may
smoke all you like. We don't mind It
In tho least."
"I am very comfortable," he protest
ed.
The opportunity he had longed for
had come, and he was too bashful to
avail himself of It. In the end the girl
in her masterful little way carried her
point. Presently he was installed in the
pleasant parlor and was telling mother
ly Mrs. Fallows all about his trials
without his mother.
"It must be so lonesome for you,"
she cried. "Why didn't you come to
us long ago?"
'Tve wanted to."he admitted frank
ly. "Sometimes I've seen the light,
and Tve been so liomesick. We only
moved here just before my grandmoth
er's Illness took mother west, and I
never got acquainted with any one.
All of our friends live on the other
side of town."
"We come from the country, where
we are used to being neighborly," she
explained. "I want you to feel that
you are welcome here any time."
There was a sincerity In her tones
that brought a genial glow to I>lgby*s
heart, and tho girl (lie knew now her
name was Ethel) avonded her mother
With a glance.
That night was but the beginning of
a new life for Dlgby. The following
evening he brought home a box of
candy as a return courtesy and was ln
| viixu iu apeuu uie evening, so gradual- i
; ly ho foil Into the habit of dropping In
| after dinner. There were trips to the
\ theater, little excursions on Sunday,
j and even when he had word from his
mother that she had doclded tx> remain
wwt for the summer he did not offer
Objection.
The more he was with Ethel the
more deeply In love he became. Ho
had never known many women, and
this rtmrming girl wns the first he had
ever loved. Often he would declare
to himself that ho would propose, but
each time hl9 courage failed him.
Then one night came the climax. The
gas began to flicker and burn low, and
Ethel left the room to drop In the coin
that would turn on the flow again. He
! heard a match etriko In the kttchen,
where the gus had not boon lit then
came an explosion, and he rushed down
the narrow hall.
In some fashion the meter had
sprung a leak, and the lighted match
had caused the ignition of the gas.
Ethel, her light gown ablaze, came
staggering blindly toward him. He
had hte coat off before they met and
threw It about her shoulders, forcing j
her to the enrpot that the blaze might j
not be able to gain headway toward |
i her fnco. The gas In the apartment j
had been extinguished, and he was i
forced to work In the dark, but he beat !
out the flames with Ills band and tlien ;
rushed Into the kitchen to chock the I
flow of gas.
It was easy to extinguish the flames I
J there and shut off the gas at tho Inlet
Then he opened the doors from their ;
j apartment to his and Imre her In his
I arms to his mother's room. Mrs. Fal- j
| lows followed and took charge of the j
j girl while ho went for the doctor.
It was some hours lato that he was
permitted to see Ethel. Sae had asked
I for him, her mother said, and ho stolo
I gently Into tho room. She put out her
j uninlurod hand and smiled ud nt him.
m some miraculous fashion her face
had not boon touched by the flames.
| though her masses of golden hair were
crisp and blackened.
"It was awfully brave of you, Ben,"
| she whispered as he bent over her.
i "When that explosion came tho lirst
j thing I thought was that I was so glnd
that you were there. 1 knew you
I would help me. The doctor says you
| saved my life by putting the fire out so
quickly."
"Any one could have done it,"he
protested, "but I'm glad It was I."
"So am I," she answered.
"I'd like to lie around all the time. If
j you'll let me," he went on in sudden
j bravery.
"I wns afraid you were getting to
! look on me more as a sister," she saTd
j as the blood came slowly into her
| cheeks. "Are you sure, Ron, that It's
j not Just because of the accident?"
"The accident has nothing to do with
i it,"he protested, "except that tho
j thought of how I might have lost you
! gave me the courage to speak."
! "1 think," she smiled faintly, "that
we ought to be very grateful to that
| gas motor. That's how I first met you,
you remember."
THE FREEZING PROCESS.
Why It Is That Ice at Times Will
Crack or Burst.
; Ice never bursts from freezing. As
! soon as the liquid of which It is com
, posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
| Tho cracking or bursting of Ice is
j brought about in this way: When wa
| tor is subjected to extreme cold ice
crystals will gradually form on its sur
face until the same are covered with a
thin coat of what appears to be wet
; snow. From this outer coating of ice
| crystals all sjibsequent freezing goes
I downward, the ice thickening accord
| Ing to tho degree of cold. The water
i which is being converted into ice now
; begins to expand, creating a pressure
upon the unfrozen water below. This
| pressure is both downward and out
| ward, and in case the water under ob
| serration is inn vessel the sides and
bottom of the receptacle supply the re
sistance.
j As tho freezing process continues the
pressure upon tlie confined water and
j air in the interior of the bulk increases
I until something yields. If the vessel
be stronger than the Ice stratum that
has formed over tin- surface the layer
, of Ice will bo bent upward at the cen
j tor, that being the weakest point, on
! account of the fact that the outer
| edges of the congealed mass are frozen
1 fast to the sides of the vessel in which
i the experiment Is being made. In this
| condition the center of tho ice eontln
; ues to rise or bulge until it bursts
| from the resistance of the water below.
| Could tho vessel be tapped from below
j and the water drawn off no amount of
| freezing would be sufficient to crack
i or bulge the ice layer on the surface.
THE "GWEED NEEBORS."
A Belief In F&iries Still Exists In Parts
of Scotland.
! There still lingers a widespread be
lief In tho north of Scotland that the
I "fair folk," or "gweed neebors," as
j the fairies are called, still live In the
hills, and during the first days of con
valescence a mother must be zoalous
| ly guarded lest one of the "wee people"
I come and rob the child of its nourish
! meat. Sometimes they succeed In car
! rying off the mother. Here is one of
the su]K?rstitious legends:
A north country Usher had a fine
child. One evening a beggar woman
entered the hut and went up to the
cradle to gazo into the eyes of the
babe. From that time good health left
it, and a strange look came into its
face, and the mother wns troubled. An
old man begging for food passed that
way. When he caught sight of the
cliild ho cried:
"That's nae a bairn. It's an Image,
and the gweed folk has stoun his
speerit."
Thereupon be set to work to recall
the fisher's bairn. A peat fire was
heaped high on the hearth and a black
hen held over It at such a distance that
it was singed and not killed. After
some struggling the ben escaped up
the lum. A few moments elapsed,
and then the parents were gladdened
by the sight of a happy expression
once more on the child's face. It throve
from that day forward.—Spectator.
After all regrets, life ts good. To see
tho face of truth and enjoy the beauty
of tears and smiles, to know oneself a
man and love what belongs to manhood
—all this Is a blessing that may con
sole us for all wants and that sickness
and sorrow and, one may trust death
cannot take away.—John Sterling.
A MADDENING PRANK.
The Queer Jok» That Eugene Field
Played on a Printer.
When Eugene Field was city editor
of the Kansas City Times he found
great amusement In annoying one of
the characters employed on the paper.
Ferguson was one of the "makeups"
on tho paper, and in Wyandotte, where
he resided, just over the line from
Kansas City, he was the leader of a
local temperance society. For over a
year Field, an coming down to the pa
per togo to work, would write a per
sonal concerning Ferguson. Generally
It ran like this: "Mr. John Ferguson,
the well known 'makeup' of the Times
composing room, appeared for work
yesterday evening In his usual beastly
state of Intoxication." This entertain
ing bit Field would send down In a
bundle of copy, and the others of the
composing room would sot it up and
say nothing.
Poor FVrguson knew that this awful
personal was In their midst and ev
ery night would go carefully over ev
ery galley for the purpose of locating
nnd killing It. It gave him vast trou
ble. Evory now and then Field would
not write bis personal about Ferguson,
and then the bewildered Ferguson was
worse off than ever. As long as he
could not find It it might still bo there.
It almost drove the poor man off the
paper. Now and then It escaped his
eaglo eye and was printed. On such
occasions Ferguson's burdens wore be
yond tho power of even a Christian
spirit to bear.

the fantastic cures presented by the
medical authorities of early times, as

The Australian Natives.
An English author writes of the Aus
tralian natives: "Between tribe and
tribe war for purposes of territorial
aggrandizement is unknown. They
may fight about women or In tlie blood
feud, for, as nobody is supposed to die
a natural death, every death is thought
to be caused by hostile magic. Fights
are not now resolutely waged, but
merely to draw first blood, as a rule,
and, as there are no conquests, there
are no slaves and very little material
progress. There are no hereditary
chiefs, though among some socially ad
vanced tribes a kind of magistracy or a
'moderatorshlp' of local groups in the
tribal general assembly is hereditary In
the male lino."
THE GROOM MUST PAY.
Queer Marriage Custom Among the
Quebec French Canadians.
A singular marriage custom prevails
among tho French Canadians in Que
bec. After the morning marriage serv
ice in the church the bridal party In
caleche or carriole make a tour of calls
upon relatives and friends during the
day and then return again to church
for vespers.
Before the evening dance at the
bride's new home conies tho supper.
When tlie company rise from tho table
the bride keeps her seat and one
asks with great dignity: "Why does
madam wait? Is she so soon In bad
grace?"
She replies: "Somebody has stolon
my slipper. I cannot walk."
Then they carry her, chair and all,
into the middle of tho room, while a
loud knocking announces a grotesque
ragged vender of boots and shoes. lie
kneels before tho slipporless bride and
tries on a long succession of old boots |
nnd shoes of every variety and size i
until at last he finds her missing shoe.
The groom redeems it for a good
price, which Is spent in treating the
company. If the groom Is not watch
ful tlioy steal her hat and cloak, which
ho redeems in tho same way, and they
have been known to steal tho bride,
for which there must he lilierni pay.
Tho event of the evening Is a good Jig,
In which a guest volunteers to out
dance the bride. If successful tho vis
itor demands a prize from the groom.—

LEGAL ADVICE.
A Story Showing How Foolish It Is to
Try to Get It For Nothing.
A young lawyer moved into a town
where there was only one lawyer be
fore—an old Judge.
A close fisted old farmer thought
there was a good chance to get some
log:U advice from the young tnun
gratis, so he dropped into Ills office,
told him how glad lit! was that he had
coine Into town, because the old judge
was getting superannuated, and con
trived Iu the course of his talk to get J
the legal information he wanted, and
tlien bidding him good moriUng he was
about to leave when tho young man
asked for his fee. "What for?" said
the old man."For legal advice," re
plied the young lawyer. "How much
Is it?" "Five dollars." The farmer
declared ho wonld never pay it, nnd
the young lawyer told him If ho didn't
he would sue him. So tlie former
trotted down to see the old judge,
whom he found hoeing In his gar
den, and said, "Judge, I went this
morning Just simply to make a neigh
borly call on that young scamp of a
lawyer who has just come Into town
and he chargod me $5." "Served you
right," said tho judge. "You'd no right
togo to him." "Well, have I got to
pay It?" "Certainly you have." "Well,
then, If I must, I must Good mean
ing." "Hold on," said the Judge.
"Aren't you going to pay me?" **Pay
you, what for?" "Why, for legal ad
vice, of course." "What do you
charge?" "Ten dollars." The result
of which was the old fellow had to pay
$5 to the young lawyer and $lO to the
old one.
Moral.—Don't try to get legal advice
for nothing.—Exchange.

Every man knows the difficulty and
agony of a refractory collar stud. With
a breakfast to eat, a train to catch
and an appointment to keep, fe-w
things are more maddening than the
collar which simply will not ally Itself
to the stud. But few things are so
easy to remedy. All that is necessary
Is to dip the thumb and forefinger in
water and slightly moisten the obsti
nate buttonhole. Then the stud slips
In without a murmur.

THE POSTAGE STAMP.
Order In Which It Was Adopted by
Different Countries.
The first postage stump seems to
hnve been used In Paris In 1053, but
the service in which the stamp was
used was only local and soon failed.
On May 0, 1840, the first regular post
age stamps were Issued in England.
Various local forwarders of letters and
postmasters in this country lssuod
stamps as earlv as 1841. The first to
do so was A. M. Grieg's City Dispatch
Post, which was sold to the govern
ment In August, 18-12. Blood & Co. of
Philadelphia sold stamps In 1811, and
the postmasters of Baltimore, New
Haven and New York of 1845 also sold
stamps.
In 1847 the government took up the
business, Imt Brazil in 1543 was ahead
of the United States In taking up the
stamp end of the jxistal business. The
other principal countries followed In
this order: France, Belgium and Ba
varia in 1R4!»; Hanover, Pritlsh Gui
ana, Prussia, Spain and Switzerland In
1850; Italy, Denmark, Baden, Wurttem
bere, Saxony anil the provinces of
Canada In 1851; Chile and the princes of
Turin and Taxis (who had the postal
monopoly In Germany) in 1852; Portu
gal In 185?.; India and Norway In 1854;
Uruguay and Mexico In 1850: Russia
and Newfoundland in 1657; Sweden In
1858; the Australian colonies early In
the fifties; Greece In 1861; Turkey in
1803; Ecuador in 1805; Egypt In 1800;
Bolivia in 1807; Paraguay In IS7O.
The International postal union was
formed In October, 1874. and went Into
operation on July 1, 1875.
