PAGE SIX THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1913. HAmongtheLilacs Romance of the Girl Who Was Tired Out. By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ. It was a warm spring evening, bo warm that they had ventured to sit out on the little wooden veranda. There was a suggestion of approach ing summer in the breeze, and tho air was redolent with lilacs. By glancing toward tho right It was not difficult to eee where the fragrance camo from. On tho other side of tho hedge In tho deepening twilight was u purple forest of plumes, and beyond that, white In the gray light, rose tho old Howard house, the oldest in tho tiny vlllago as well as the largest. Seldon Iloward was the ouly living representative of the family. Presently the group on Mrs. Jones' veranda began to speak of Selden, leading up to tho subject from tho fra grance of the bushes. "Them lllocks Is slckishly sweet," observed Mrs. Jones hf rself. "Really nauseating," acquiesced the boarder who had been spending the winter hero In this little cottage among the Berkshire hills. "By the way. I saw a strange man at tho postofflce this morning, and I overheard somo ono say he was Mr. Iloward. Very good looking man he was and seemed to know a thing or two." "That's him," conflrmed Mrs. Jones. "But why shouldn't ho know a thing or two? He don't do nothln' but travel and trapse round tho country. Hardly ever homo and won't have a thing to do with tho people In tho village." The moon was beginning to show red and low In tho warm dusk, and tho lilacs made superb black shadow ef fects on the lawn. Tho little tired out city girl who sat on the lowest step of the veranda and who had just arrived that day had nothing to say. She was filling her whole soul with tho beauty of the coming night. Pretty soon, carrying her lamp, sho went upstairs to her bedroom. She looked at the high mound of feather bed and at tho small window at the foot into which was already flooding the spring moonlight. For a moment sho stood irresolute; then she lowered the shade, slipped on a cheesecloth ki mono, drew the pins from her hair, let ting It fall ab'out her shoulders, blew out the lamp and followed her whim to lean from the casement. It had boon a very long while since Katherino Hope had looked from a window over a garden when the moon was shining. True, from tho window of their stodgy city lodgings on Elev enth street, her mother's and hers, she had leaned out at times when her head was hot and aching with too much work and had caught a breath of out side air. But that was so different. From that window sho could look out only on clotheslines, sheds and back windows of the boarding houses on tho next street, and there whatever restful thoughts might come to her were made havoc of by an accordion, cheap coon songs or the caterwauling of feline creatures on the fences below. And now oh, the feathery, pale flor escence of tho lilacs over yonder! Katherino drew her breath in with de light as their dominant scent came up to her. If only her dear mother could be with her to enjoy the beauty of It nil! But that had not been possible. When the physician had shaken his head gravely over his young patient's wornout condition and commanded an immediate change in the country it had been all that mother and daughter could do to scrape together the meager savings for Katherlno's rest of a fort night. And Katherine was not one to mew and whimper over Impossibilities. ' She was hero now, and sho would make the best of every moment to grow strong and well again that she might go back with new life to her office work and the companionship of her sac rificing little mother. The mild country air and the thou sand odors of tho spring played upon her face and lifted her loosened hnlr, gilded by the moonshine into tho like ness of an aureole. Her white kimono foil softly around her; from the posi tion In which sho held her nrms her soft elbows were plainly visible, and her exquisite face, leaning back a bit against the dark painted frnmo of the window, stood out like a cameo. The girl was little conscious of any thing except tho wonder of tho night, nor was she aware of one who watched her a moment from tho shadow of tho lilacs in tho garden beyond the hedge. Selden Howard was returning from his dog kennels, whence ho had gone to look after a sick collie, when his eye had chanced to fall upon the flguro in the casement und in sheer artistic ap preciation had rested there. "She's like somo yoimg princess," bo thought to himself, pursuing his way toward the big house, "or a goddess. Her hair's like tho silvery flos3 around corn. Her name ought to be Perdlta, Marpessa or Ariadne, now ever in the world did tho Jones family stum ble across such a creature?" The glani tur of tho girl wovo Itself into .his dreams, and In waking intervals he pondered on plans for an acquaintance. "Ah, ha. I have it!" at last laughed he. Early tho next morning ho went n-flshlng. As luck would hnvo it, he secured a well filled creel. On his way home, without ceremony, bo lifted the latch of Mrs. Jones' low back gate and entered. Ho walked right up to the kitchen window, for there stood Mrs. Tones rolling tho dough for breakfast biscuit. "Good morning, Mrs. Jones," said he. "I've got such a jolly big creel full of 1 flsh hero that I don't know what to do with them. Thcro's no ono over there" nodding toward tho big whlto house "but my housekeeper, and she's sick this morning, so I'm wondering if you'll accept these." With the gllan try of a knight he held out to her his creel. "Oh, Mr. Selden!" exclaimed tho good woman, a bit flustered, but smiling with unmistakable appreciation. (Would the heavens fall next? When had Mr. Sel den Iloward last honored her humble dwelling like this? Surely not since his mother died, pour soul!) "Accept them? Well. I just guess I will! And so Mrs. Patch is sick! Well, you'll just stay hero to breakfast. It'll be all ready in fifteen minutes." This was as much as Howard had hoped for. When Katherino Hope entered tho dining room Mrs. Jones, of course, pre sented Mr. Howard. "How do you do, Mr. Howard?" said sho conventionally, with a smile, a lit tle tired in spite of tho play of child ish dimples. But Selden was looking down admiringly on the fine white parting that separated tho braids of purest flax. "And how d'yo like them, Mr. Sel den?" asked Mrs. Jones a bit later, re ferring to tho biscuit. "I love them." answered ho, refer ring to tho girl's dimples. Of course that was only tho begin ning. After that Selden Howard man aged almost daily to meet Katherine, or at least to catch a glimpse of her. Her lovely, tired eyes and little, quiet ways appealed to him In an infinitely more tender and real fashion than had those of many a pampered beauty whom he'd met in tho course of his va ried travels. One morning Katherine was reading a popular new novel out on the ve randa. At least sho was supposed to be reading It. In reality she had closed tho book, keeping the page marked with her slim forefinger. She had only two days more here In God's green earth, and the lilacs seemed to bo call ing her imperatively. Sho had been breathing In lilacs to that extent that her thoughts seemed to be fairly scent ed with them. All at once an impulse of yielding came to her. Why In tho world should sho not step over the low hedge and go Into the lilac garden? Sho did. Boes hung above the purplo bloom, and a llttlo attenuated fountain tinkled In the distance. Oh, It was al together enchanting! Just then a gold en eyed sable collie camo leisurely down tho curved walk to meet her. "You beauty!"' cried tho girl exult antly, stooping to pat tho dog's queen ly head. The collie, with slowly swish ing tall, gently kissed her behind the car. A commanding whistle from around tho turn of tho walk and then: "Mollle, Mollio, old girl, where nro you?" Mollle sat with one car up, the othor down, as collies will when per plexed. She loved her master, but also sho loved her new found friend. "Ah!" cried Selden, coming upon them unexpectedly. "But it is beauti ful to find you In my garden!" he said, looking gladly upon Katherine. "Do you know, last night I dreamed you wero bore. You are very, very welcome, little lady." "You see," sho explained helplessly, trying to hide her telltale blushes, "It was the lilacs. They called mo." Suddenly bo took both her hands in his and drew her toward the bushes. "Dear lilacs," he whispered whimsi cally, "she is here now on enchanted ground and we must keep her. You belong to my garden," he added mas terfully, turning full upon Katherine, "and I will not let you go. Tho house yonder is very lonely and waits for you. You will stay?" Her answer? Well, sho was a girl and very tired, nnd he was a man and strong, and it was spring, and they were among tho lilacs! Animal and Plant Life.

A "tea fuddle" in Australia is a means of raising money usually at a bazaar ra aid of somo church or chapel. Tho3o who enter their names as subscribers lo tho "fuddle" each subscribe n shll ling.

As thorn are usually about a hundred entries tnis very seiaom happens, and the money, of course, goes to the bazaar DAIRY PRODUCTS. Over Flvo Million Farms in tho United States Have Cows. Statistics covering dairy products in the United States are interesting at this time. A bulletin summariz ing the data collected for the pro-' ducts of 1909 has just been Issued by the Bureau of the Census, Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, which shows that there were 5,140,8G9 farms In the United States for which the enumerators reported dairy cows on April 18, 1910. For only 4,413,- 333 of these farms were dairy pro ducts of any kind reported as pro duced In 1909, and for only 4,021,- 460 'was the quantity of milk pro duced In 1909 stated. The total number of dairy cows on 'farms April 18, 1910, was reported as 20,- 626,000, while the number on farms which reported the production of any kind of dairy products in 1909 was 18,74G,000, or 90.9 per cent, of the total number, and the number o-f farms which reported the production of milk In 1909 was 16,- 069,000, or 77.9 per cent, of the total. In considering these figures, It should be borne in mind that there is no precise distinction between dairy cows and cows not kept for milk. In a good many cases enu merators probably reported as dairy cows which In fact were primarily kept 'for breeding purposes and which were only milked for short periods, If at all, during the pre ceding year. Tho total production of milk re ported for 1911 was 5,814,000,000 gallons, the true total probably ex ceeded this toy not less than ten per cent. There were, on April 15, 1910, a total of 16,009,000 dairy cows on 'farms reporting this milk. Assuming that there were the same number In 1909, the average pro ductlon of milk per cow would be 362 gallons. The total value of dairy products of farms in 1909, exclusive of milk and cream consumed on the farm, was reported at $596,413,000. This represents the sum of the receipts from the sale of milk, cream and butter fat (amounting in all to $872,403,000), and the value of all butter and cheese produced on farms, whether sold or retained for homo use (amounting to $224,010,- 000). The total reported value of dairy products sold in 1909 was $473,- 709,000, of which the value of milk, cream and butter fat sold rep resented nearly four-fifths and that of butter most of the remainder. Tho quantity of milk sold as such was reported as 1,937,000,000 gal Ions, or substantially one-third of the total reported as produced; but It should be borne In mind that a great deal of milk sold or delivered to creameries for butter making Is paid for on the basis of the cream or butter fat content, In which case the quantity of such cream or butter fat, was usually reported on uio census schedules and not the quantity of milk. The greater part of the milk reported as old was doubtless con sumed as such, chiefly In cities and villages, hut a considerable quantity represents milk delivery to con densed milk and cheese 'factories. and some small part milk delivered to creameries for tho production of butter and reported as milk Instead of on the basis of the cream or but ter fat contained. In 1909 tho leading dairy states, as judged by the total value of farm production ('excepting 'milk and cream used at home), wero New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, 111! nois, Iowa, Ohio, Minnesota, Mich Igan and California, in each of which the value reported exceeded $20,000,000. In production of but ter (on farms and In factories com bined) Wisconsin was the leading state, 'followed by Iowa, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Illi nois and New York. A large part of tho milk produced In New York is sold for consumption In the cities, and a largo proportion Is also used in making cheese, New York ranks next to Wisconsin In the production of cheese, and In no other state did tho cheese production equal one-sev enth of the production In New York, In combined production of butter and cheese Wisconsin led with 279,- 992,000 pounds followed by Now York with 174,944,000 pounds. NO MORE OF OM) MATCHES. That time honored custom of striking matches on your trousers Is to become one of the lost arts. Since January 1 the Amorican manufac turers can make no more of the old strike-'em-on-your-pants 'matches Tho law prohibits It. Tho Escn bill 'becomes effective In Ohio, and all American matches aro made at Akron and Barberton. Tho Diamond Match people are making the sesquisulphlde match which contains tho necessary com bustible Ingredients, but is non poisonous. According to the Ohio lawmakers, the old style match was dangerous and caused many deaths from " phossy jaw. TN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE 1 UNITED STATES FOR THE MID DLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVA NIA.
