By HARMONY WELLER. I (Copyright, 1914. by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) The gardens in the little suburbai village that nestled at the foot of th< Cliiltern hills were beginning to shov the lack of cace. The war had robbe< those tiny cottages and left then stripped of masculine hands. Wive: and mothers and sisters who wer< left behind to grieve and toil had n< time for gardening when there wen children to care for and homes t< keep tidy against the day when th< soldiers would once again be we] corned back. However, there was one pair o masculine hands in the village tha might not fire shots at the enem: because his physical body had beei found far too weak to stand the stren uous life of the battlefield. Georg< "Docoino-Hovorl enrolV thflt hp wfl? JJOO?91U(jVVU iv ? vvi wv* v?M? ??v " ? unfit to go with his fellow men t< fight the great fight,, but he realize! there must be some way in which hi could be of service to those left be hind. , "I could take care of those gar dens," he pondered as he walke< through Laurel lane and witnessed thi condition of growing things. "Perhapi it.*will help the struggling women ai much as the outdoor work will bene fit my own body." At the end of two weeks Georgi Bassington had done wonders wit! six small gardens. Flowers * agaii raised joyful heads, vines clamberei over, gate posts and vegetables con tinubd to add table necessities to th< six tables. . 1 There was one house on Laure lane thftt Bassington took Infinite can over and that one was the home o James Holiday. Bassington. jrealizei that because of the inmate he fount himself lured there In spite of him self. He supposed the fair womai within to be the wife of Holiday be cause she tended Holiday's two tin; children and seemed, ever busy wit! household cares. So busy was sh that Bassington had never, during hi short stay in the garden, had mor than a word or two of conversatioi with .her. "I can hardly ask her if she is Holi day's wife," laughed the temporar; gardener, to himself. As weeks slipped past Bassingto: began to regain., the health/ that ha* escaped him. Tie recruiting office would not turn him back again, h felt, and with that thought in vie^ he once again went into town In or der to offer himself for active service This time he was not Sent awa; from his medical examination wit] drooping head. He had been acceptei for active service and he was to joii his old regiment and leave for th front with them. It was with joyful heart that hi approached the little cottages vin. Lau rel lane and told each of his. now es cellent friends of his success. It wa going to be a trifle difficult to te] Jim Holiday's wife, and as he droppei the shining brass knocker of her doo he braced himself as if for the. firs volley of shot from the enemy. Once inside the trim little hous< Basslngton looked long and earnesl ly at the fair girl who seemed eve ty oiuuo mo ztjvei giuucu. "I am going to the front," he sail in his straightforward, manner, "am I wanted to tell you that I have at ranged for another man to care to the gardens. I am off on Saturday. "Oh!" gasped the girl, "then yoi are not.a shirker! I have been thin) ing you were a coward not to enlis when all our "brave brothers and hut hands have gone to^ fight for us." A deep flush spread even up to hi temples at the girl's words. ''I am sorry you thought .mefi shirker, Mrs. Holiday,"" was All -h said. The quick apology in Jean Holiday' eyes waa.; mingled with amused prise. v"But I am not Mrs. Holiday," sh told him, "I am Jim's, sister. "Mrs holiday has gon? down to be near Jin as long as possible before he goes it tne iront. tie s in camp now. "Not anybody's wife?" questions Basslngton, and realized that he wouli change that situation when he r? turned from the wat. "I am' sorr; .you thought me a shirker," he said "and that I thought you a Wife am mother. Otherwise we might hav spent many wonderful hours here ii the shadow of the Chiltern hillsjust you and L" "The hills will, always be here, Jean said with dainty frankness, be cause she had loved Bassington ii spite of herself, "I, too, expect to b here?when you return." "May that day be soon," Bassingto? said, and took both of her profferei hands in a warm clasp and raisei them in turn to his lips. "Until tha day," he added softly. - Both- In Sad Condition. Sublime satisfaction in one's owi - powers must be a very delightful con dttion, but a celebrated English mu Bician, Doctor Arne, who flourished ii toe first naif of tne seventeenth cen tury, for once wittily turned the ta bles on some Bingers of this type He was asked to decide on the re spective powers of two vocalisti whose talents existed entirely in the! own imaginations. After hearing then Doctor Arne said to one: "You ar< the worst singer I ever heard in m; life. Then, exclaimed the other: " win." "No." answered the Just iudec "you can't sing at all." Rope la as Strong as Steel. Recent experiments show that ma nlla rope is as strong as solid ba steel,* weight for weight, whereas i leather belt is less than 40 pe? cen as strong, compared in the dame way A year's use will take 50 per Cent of i rope's strength, after which the weak joing is more gradual. Two Kinds of Wisdom. . There are two kinds of wisdom? th? kind found in hooks, which anybody can get; and the kind found ia you, which only you can get?Wit ? " ? ~ WAITING ON THE CORNER By JOHN PHILIP ORTH. ; - (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) i Mies Madge Seaforth was playing 3 the piano in the parlor of her father's ? house when all at once there came a 3 jangle. If one is playing "The Old 1 Folks at Home" and absently wans ders off into the air of "Yankee" 2 Doodle." there's going to be a jangle. 3 And then you suddenly remember b that you borrowed Bessie Walter's 3 dream-book a day or two ago, and 3 solemnly promised her that If the reading of it caused you to dream you would faithfully relate that dream to f the lender of the book without unnect essary delay. P Well, Miss Madge had read the book 3 from cover to cover. Much of its contents had made her gasp and shiver. 3 She had dreamed of being chaeed by i snakes, wolves, brigandB and runaway 3 locomqtives. * They had run her through swamps, - thickets and meadows; they had run" her up hill and down; they ran her through streets and alleys. At last, after the chase had con-' 5 tlnued for miles and the poor girl 9. had just jumped a fence nine feet' 3 high without her French heels touch8 ing a splinter, she caught the lowerK limb of a tree and clambered up to Baisiy. cue weui uv.ujw kibiiuvuc w ^ relate the dream in full. Miss Madge I settled herself for a cozy chat when * the answer came back from the cen3 tral office: :r l* "Can't do it; the lines are crossed.", 0 "What's the matter with the line?" "It's never, in order!" "And I wanted to talk to Wall 0 street!" ;\ * "You man with the big bull voice, 3 shut up!" Miss Madge found herself Interested. There was one firm; clear voice : * that dominated the rest, though it was** lost in the shuffle now and then. The^ girl'-caught these words: "At least ten thousand. About two 0 o'clock. The corner of Willow and. 3 Stark streets. Don't strike to kiU, e but to stun. Yes, two of them. Then II upstairs and down the back way! Sure thing." } ' .. l" What was the meaning of those ^ words! Here was something different from a dream It was a mystery. "I J am going to be there and see it," she ? mnaoil % s At 1:45 that afternoon an auto with 8 Miss Madge Seaforth seated In the v tonneau was at the corner of Willow and Stark streets. Three men were ' leaning against a wall. Y Frpm down, Stark street came two * men. One of the men carried a leather bag. 1 A moment more and things began e to happen. The three loungers attacked the two men with the bag. 3 There were shouts and blows and l* scuffling. The chauffeur leaped to the walk and ran away. Miss Madge 3 opened the door of the vehicle and * stood screaming. She hardly realized 3 It when one of the men threw the bag ' at . her feet * "Save it from the thugs If you can!" And then the girl found herself at p .the wheef-andspeedlngaway. Straight home, a mile, away, -and the bag was: r carried into the house. It was then that Miss Madge had a fit of hysteria.! 3 The evening papers had a sensation, ^ and as Misa Madge read the scare-' '* beads she was us. white as a sheet r "The boldest holdup for years!" "Planned by. a'.handsome girl!" a "'She waits in an auto and drives off with the $8,000 that was- to payt] tlifl hands In a. taLctorvt" 1 *" 'The robbers arrested, but they won't tajk!" 3 _ "Their victims. seriously Injured ini . their plucky ftghtl" ' a "Who is the\haniJsome queen of the 6 robber gang?" ..- No police and no reporters until. 8 Mr. Seaforth arrived home and,- tele-' phoned them. A few explanations and;. - all was made ?)ear. 8 Nine detectives and 1!1 reporters'' ' called at the Seaforth residence tor in-; a terviews. The factory men called. 0 Sti-angers in the city callled and said . it was a bully .thing to do. Seventeen;, 3 photographers wanted sittings, and d felt ill-used when they did not secure them. y Among the last callers was Stephen}: Adair, oneof the robbers' victims. He d it was who thfew the bag Into the 0 auto and shouted to the girl to drive & off, and. he had been made a hero T>f. " He still wore a plaster or twa over his hurts, but It is always proper for " a hero to want to call on a heroine. * 'And there was opportunity fer adq miration to grow Into love, and It e grew. Q /' Water Cooled Without lee. j! In semi-arid regions natives supply themselves with cool water through the use of porous earthen urns which are placed whtsre they cau be exposed to the action of the breezes; at the same time the urns are protected from a the sun's rays, being placed in a locali lty where theTe is shade. The moisi ture in the urn penetrating through a the jar to the surface accumulates r on the outside and Is evaporated rapt idly by the action of the hot winds, i. and the water within cooled. The f same principle may be utilized by havs ing concrete tanks or receptacles for r water where ice cannot conveniently i be procured. Ordinary concrete is e porous and because of this serves in Ir the same capacity as if it were edrthI en ware. Such a container is well l suited for UBe in liarvest fields and on golf courses.
