"I am sorry to intrude--upon yoi when you are 111," the young mar said. The capitalist shook his gray head .'Tm' not 111,"* he sharply said "jRheumatism l?n't illness; besides, ] told you I-d'give you an interview." "I can nieet ;*ou at your office at any time," the young man suggested. .'?The. capitalist thumped the floor with his i cane. "You ar9 here,** he said. "Talk fast." The young man made no reply. His face was flushed, but his hand was steady as he drew a metal con trivance from the box he had carried in his. sack coat pocket. ( . "It's a simple device," he said. "Let me see iL" The capitalist stared at the shining thing. "Too simple," he growled. He lpokf.d around at the young man. Then he looked back at the device. "Simplicity cheapens the cost," said the young man. "That's one thing against it. Do I understand that it's your inven tion?" . "Yes." j '"Protected?" i "In seven countries." The capitalist stared hard at the thing in his hands. "Tell me about it," he snapped. The young man drew some papers from an inner pocket. They were covered by figures and drawings. Five minutes later he was still talking when a girl appeared in the doorway.' She was fair and slender, a girl of two-and-twenty. When she saw the caller she did not advance, but waited in the door way. / "That's a dangerous contrivance," she heard the old man say. , "Why?" the caller inquired. * "It ls too revolutionary. It might get Into unsafe hands. If wo took it there would be new machinery to purchase, new methods of manufac ture to consider. We are doing quite well enough as it is. Our machines are the best in the market. We are producing to the very limit ? " "But this transmitter of mine is an improvement," the youn?, man urged. "Granted." "Well?" ' The old man's smile was frosty. "When dividends are satisfactory, why improve?" ' The.caller stared at the capitalist. . L^Sut you will admit the device is valuable?" "Yes.

"What do you want?" he de rmanded. "I want an Interest in my work," the caller answered.- "I toiled ovar this thing for two years, night and day. I've -forgotten sleep, I've for gotten food, because of it. I can't give it up. It seems like a part of me." The pld man laughed harshly. "But if you can't utilise it, what will you do?" he sharply asked. ? "I will walt." ?? "And starve?". "I will not starve. I can work." The old man laughed again. . "Perhaps you think you can obtain the necessary capital to manufacture the thing?J* The young man shook his head. "No," he said. "It would look too much Iii2 a.n experiment. 1 am un known and have no credit." The capitalist nodded. .. "That's right. And money is scarce. "Waat do you estimate the * cost of you: plant?" "Twenty thousand dollars." "And after that you would be obliged to.find a market." The young man straightened up. "I have made the machine," he said. "I believe I can make a market, too." The old man laughed harshly. "You can't do business without us.*1 "I tin wait," said the young man. "And you won't take my offer?" "No, sir." "Think it over. I'd like to have you with us. I'll find a place foi you." The young man arose. -Thank you, sir," he said. "Eut ] can't give this up." -Very well," growled the capitalist "You're a foolish young man. You'1, find it out before you are much older Come back when you do. Good day.1 "Good day,"' said the young man. He took up his box and turned t( the door. Tho old man dropped a little lowe: In his chair and stared hard at chi leaping flames. Then ho suddenly looked around hut the young man had gone. He had gone, but not far. As h< passed into the hallway a giri, a sien der girl, had halted him. "If you have a few moments ti ? spare," she gravely said, -I woul< like to talk to you." He was startled by her sudden ap pea ran ce. His mind had been en grossed by thc rebuff he had "ust're ceived. "There are no demands upon rn; time," he said, and followed her inti the reception room. She pointed to a seat. "I am Florence Carter," she sa?d. He bowed and took the chair. ansinitier Ultimately . Carter. 'eland Plain Dealer? "My name is Robert Andrus," he told her. She looked at him earnestly. Her eyes were gray. "Quite, by accident," she said, "I overheard part of your conversation with my father. You understand that he is not well." The(ybung man saw that her face was flushed. "I understand," he answered. "If there seemed to 'life any-any unkindness in his treatment, will you attribute it to his physical distress?" He bowed. ..-*.??..: "Yes," he answered. \' \The girl hesitated., ..if I am not mistaken, Mr Andrus --I overheard but a part of the con versation-you have invented some thing of value for which you hope to find a marget?" "Yes, Miss Carter." "You need capital to'Iauhch it?" He looked at her wonderingly. . ? "Yes." I "I overheard tho offer my father made you. You think the device is worth more?" "Very much more." She hesitated again.. "I have some money lying idle, Mr. Andrus, money I would be glad to in vest. lt is my own, left me by my Grandfather Atwood. Will you wait,, please-let me buy an interest in your device?" The young man's face flushed. "Miss Carter," he said, "I can only thank you for your kind sympathy, and your well-meant offer. You are sorry for me. You think I have been hunt and disappointed. That is true. But I am young and-hard knocks are familiar to me. You know nothing about me-nothing about my inven tion." . . - The young woman suddenly smiled. "You talk exactly as I expected you would," she said. "I was sure you wohld see only the sentimental side of the affair. But I am a practical woman-the daughter of Everett Car ter. Eefore this proposed deal is carried out, you will satisfy me that the investment is a reasonably safe ona. My father has convinced me that your invention is worthy of in vestigation, at least. All I ask is that you will sell me a half interest, in it, let us say, if it looks good to my legal adviser." He stared at her. "You are quite in earnest about this?" he murmured. "Your question is not complimen tary," said the girl. "I am in earnest, however, and assure you that the in vestigation conducted by my lawyer will be a painstaking one. Does that meet with your approval?" "Thoroughly," he quickly an swered. "But is lt. possible that you really mean all this?" & She did not heed his remark. "At 10 o'clock to-morrow morning you will be at tbe law office of Mr. John Delafield, In the Cranston build ing. Mr. Delafield is my adviser and holds my legacy in trust for me. I w/ill notify him of your coming. Is that understood?" She watched him narrowly. "Yes," he answered, "unless I wake up and find this is all a dream." "I trust," she gravely said, "that you will not forget our verbal under standing. If your device can be shown up to the full satisfaction of my ad viser, you are to sell me a half in terest in the Andrus transmitter for $20,000 cash. Is this your under standing?" He was quite overwhelmed by her directness. "That is my understanding," he answered. "Shall I put it on paper?"' Shs shook her pretty head. "This is a test transaction," she said. "You have faith in your device and I have faith in you." He flushed again at her words. "At least we may shake hands over it," he said, as he arose. Their hands met. ' "Good'luck," said Robert Andrus. "Good luck," said the girl. * * * . * * , It was a year later and Everett Carier sat in the same easy chair be fore the blazing hearth log. But the rheumatic leg was no longer resting on the cushioned stool. A soft footfall drew his attention. "Comdin, Florence," he called. The girl came and sat by his side on the low stool. "Hullo, daddy," she said. She rested her brown head against his arm. "Well, dearie?" His hand lovingly stroked the brown hair. "Feeling pretty gcod, daddy?" "Yes, deurie." "No twinges?" "Not for a long time." They watched the crackling blaze. "You didn't eat much dinner, daddy." , ? . "Didn't I?" "I'm quite sure you didn't." He laughed. "Perhaps the humble pie I ate to day spoiled my appetite." "Humble pie, daddy?" "I guess that's what they call it." "Tell me about it." .He laughed again. "It doesn't put your daddy in a very flattering light. Eut I'll tell you about lt.. I had an appointment this afternoon with a certain party and your old friend Delafield's. 1 was a little early in getting there-I w.nted to ask Delafied some questions." ? "Yes, daddy." "Well, the certain party-" "The man you were to meet?" "Yes. He's a young man. Hl? name is Andrus." "Andrus?" "That's it. Robert Andrus. H< wasn't there when I arrived, and thal gave Delafield an opportunity to tel me about him. If Delafield is righi hs'sa remarkably worthy young fel low-straight; honest and flhe as silk What's the matter, dearie?''' "The fire makes my face burn daddy. I'll move a little back." "Perhaps you don't care for thi Istory?" "Ob, yes, daddy, go on." . "Well, the funny part of lt is that I once turned this samo young fellow down cold. It happened one day when I was home here with the mis ery in my leg. And there I was in Delafleld's office, keeping an appoint ment with the very same youngster." "Go on, daddy." "The boy had perfected a valuable device, a transmitter of a remarkably ingenious type. He brought it to me. He thought the Carter Motor Com pany could use it. I knew it was a good thing the instant I looked at it. But you know daddy isn't exactly himself when the rheumatism nips him." "I know, daddy." "Well, ? gave him to understand that we didn't want his advice. But I offered to btfy it from him and de stroy it. He wouldn't sell. Some how I felt sure he wo?ld come back and accept my offer. 1 was positive he couldn't get the capital he needed to start a piant and manufacture the thing-and that's where I was wrong. Somebody let him have the 'money." ? "Who was it, daddy?" "I don't'know. But the p'ant was built and proved a gcbd thing from the very start. The boy found a mar .ket for his invention almost immedi ately, and the, little factory has been working right up to its "limit. . It got me scared some time ago. And I was still more scared when I heard that the National Engine Company wahtsd the factory's entire ' output. Tho Carter Motor Company couldn't stand by and let that happen. And so I was there in your old friend's office prepared to arrange a deal with this gifted youngster. Well, he came in presently-a fine looking lad, man ly and-scrupulously polite. He really seemed glad to see me-which might be wondered at. Well, I made up my mind in less than no time that there was nothing to be gained by beating about the bush, and so I came right out and offered him $200,000 for his plant and his patents, and in addition to this the position of manager of our works with a $10,000 salary." The girl suddenly laughed. "Why, that was fine, daddy. And what did the gifted young man do?". "The gifted young man never turned a hair. If he was surprised at my offer he carefully concealed the fact. He thanked me, but added that he would be guided entirely by his partner, who owns a half interest in" the factory and patents. He prom ised to let me know his partner's de cision very soon, and I had to be sat isfied with this promise. And that, dearie, is what I call eating humble j pie-and lots of it." ! There was a little silence. "Daddy," said the girl,., "I want your advice." . "But I know nothing about hats or gowns." She softly laughed. "It's 3 money matter thfs time, daddy. I bought a half interest in a manufacturing plant a. year ago and Eve been offered 400 per cent- profit on my investment If I will sell out." The ord man stared down at her. "That sounds good. What's the plant called?" The girl hesitated.. i "It's the Andrus Transmittsr Co., daddy."" "Whatf" "Tes,, daddy. I'm the partmtr who must be consulted." "You!" "Yes, daddy." What do you advise me to do?*" "Let me- get my breath, you ras cal!" "All right, daddy. Take- your time." She looked to?/ard the door. ."Robert," she called. And Robert Andrus entered the room. "-Here is my partner, daddy." The old. man stared at the new- ! comer. "Well,, well."- he muttered. "And, daddy, Robert's price has gone. up.. I-I found it out this afternoon. He waats me, Coo!" The old man stared fro.a Robert to. the girL Eer arm stole round his. neck. "Say it's all right, daddy." He sank hack with a sigh of resig nation. "More humble pie," he murmured. Spelling Ont Numerals. An amusing instance of typograph ical blundering occurred lately in a well-known newspaper. A paragraph read as follows: "Some time ago a fiat in a not unfashionable quarter ot the city was let unfurnished to 10 ants, who offered and paid a month's rent in advance." The explanation of this slip is almost as amusing aa' the misprint itself. It is a rigid rule of some printing offices that, while numbers below ten are spelled in full, all numbers higher must be in fig ures, to save space. It is, therefore, really very dlfl&cult for a compositor tc spell "tenants," though "ninepins" ls child's play to him.-London (Eng land) People's Friend.

What the country seemB to need 1 less unwritten and more unbroke law, suggests the New York Post Diamond Gossip and Gen SPLENDID RECORD OF "BAD BILL" DAHLEN Became a Marvel in Base Ball Smart Set Soon After His Initiation. Among the multitude of base ball enthusiasts there are very few that ap preciate the fact that there Is on the | Boston National league team a player who has a record scarcely equaled by any major league player in the his tory of , the game. ! This, player is "Bad Bill" Dahlen, v??-C Is now making strenuous efforts to make good as the short stop of the Doves. He enjoys the distinction of 'being the veteran of many a battle field during the past decade. Evereybody who has followed the game to any extent in this period is as familiar with the name as with the mannerisms of the Bad One, and, while quiet and unassuming, he has had a varied experience during his ca reer on the field, and stands today as a connecting link between the days 'of Anson, Lang, Burn3, Daly and others who were dazzling stars in the days CATCHF3 KLING OF THE CUBS, 1 I. "i . _ 1 I ?of yore, with the Wagners, Lajoies ?and Cobbs of his own time. Bill is no idle boaster, but has a I quiet sense of humor that just sticks out all over him, and, when he falter ingly owned up that he was no chicken, but was entering on his nine teenth consecutive year in the major leagues, he caused a laugh, for, when asked, his age, he admitted to 2G years.\ Some people are apt to scoff at these old-timers, but a look at the base ball guide of last year tells the old story. For instance, Dahlen play ed in seven games less than the mighty Honus Wagner, yet he hac. nearly 100 more assists than the big Dutchman, which says that William the Naughty must have covered a little ground during the season o? 1908. It was in 1S91 that Dahlen broke into the fast set . After a short year in minor league base bail in New York state, he found himself tied up with the Chicago National league team in that year, under the leader ship of Old Pop Anson, at that time captain and rnanagcr. During his first year with the Windy City outfit he played third base and the outfield, For eight consecutive years hp wore the word Chicago on his uni form, and in his last year with thai .team was made captain. But foxy Ned Hanlon was then collecting an aggregation of stars in Brooklyn, arv: Dahlen was traded for Gene Demon trevllle, and became a. member of the famous Brooklyn outfit that included stars like Jennings, Keeler and Kee ley. Bill always thought pretty well of Brooklyn and was right in his own for the following five yeaiv Then another shift in the continu ous juggle of baseball lottery tooi him across the river to "Mugsy" Mc Graw, and in 1904-5-6-7 he was with the Giants, playing his old positior of shortstop ell the time. In exchange for him Brooklyn got Charley Bab! and Pitcher Jack 'Cronin and $3,500 -ii cash. The last move took the Bac One to the Hub and he has been then since, playing good baseball in what ever position he is placed and maklni good to the delight of fandom I JACK JOHNSON AND CHAMPION JEFFRIES. New York.-Should Mr. Jack John son, the conqueror of Tommy Burns, and who claims to be the heavy weight champion mitt pusher of the world,,- meet James J. Jeffries, alfalfa fanner of Los Angeles, Cal., In his rambles, lt would be good policy for i the somber-hued gent to take thfi back \track. If Mr. Johnson should continue his course in Mr. Jeffries' direction, he will in all probability learn something of thc fighting game that he never learned of-and he will have dreams-no mistake about that, and Mr. Jeffries will produce them. But why should Mr. Jeffries' assault the colored man from Texas? In a speech in a local theater a few nights ago Mr. Johnson said that Mr. Jeff ries was too old and too fat to fight. Mr. Johnson probably made a true statement further along in his speech when he declared dramatically "The public or anybody else will never live to see James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson fight" Jack John would not climb into a ring where James J. Jeffries wa^for "$1,000,000. Al Kaufman, Billy^Delaney's CalU fornia protege, has made a new code of ?.thies for the prize ring. Kauf man has just issued a challenge to fight any heavyweight in the world, Johnsoi? and Langford preferred. Heretofore the colored man has never been preferred, in fact, all white fighters prefer not to fight a negro. Billy Delaney must have come to /VHO WILL RETURN TO GAWF. im.' conclusion that Kaufman has ar- ! rived at the stage in his ring career where he is at his best. "Foxy" Billy will be remember as the gen tleman who discovered and developed James J. Corbett and James J. Jeff ries, besides dozens of lesser lights. When Delaney discovered Kaufman Al was only 19 years of age and had won many amateur bouts in his own town, generally v/ith a single punch, earning for him the sobriquet of "One Punch" Kaufman. Delaney has been nursing his pet right along ever since Kaufman's defeat by Jack O'Brien. Kaufman's first professional fight. Kaufman is 23 years of age, G feet tall and weighs over 200 pounds when in condition, and is the only white man outside of Jeffries who ranks la the first division. Jack Johnsoon can't very well get out of a match with the big Californian. He can't very well run out of this match, as he has no other country to go to. If he goes to England he is likely to be nabbed for broken contracts. There is no boxing in Paris, In summer, and if he stays in this country, he will need money very soon, and ueed lt bad. judging from the numerous suits filed against him. A great deal is expected of Kauf man when he meets either Johnson or Langford. Al "is aggressive and game, has a slugging, battering style of fighting, and is expected to annoy both Mister Johnson and Mister Langton; when they meet in the squared circle. KLING WILL RETURN. Chicago.-President Murphy of the Chicago National league baseball .?am, upon his return here from Cin cinnati, practically admitted that Catcher John Kling would be with his -.tam before thc end of June. Kling wired Murphy he was willing to re join the teanr before July 1, provided be got his share bf the $10,000 bonus given the flayers who won the world's championship in 190S.

New York fight fans are enthusi astic over the match between Stanley Ketchel of Montana and Jack O'Brien at Philadelphia Wednesday and pre dict a rattling bout. It ls w..ll known that considerable ill ftcl'ng exists between the two men since their rec ent bout In New York, and the New Yorkers who jouniev to ihe Quaker City will get p.ll the action they de sire. Both O'Brieii and Ketchel have been keeping in splendid condi tion and both will be ready for the battle of their lives when they entar the ring. POULTRY > THE SMALL CHICKS. . Te I?aise a Profitable Percentage -ie quires Faithful Care. The poultry man must bear In mind that small chicks have many en emies, and to raise a large percentage of those that hatch requires the most faithful care. For the first two weeks I have a supply of mixed chick food and fresh clean water constantly be fore them and cover the floor of the coop with dry hay chaff with a supply of sharp clean sand for grit. When the chicks are two weeks old they may have a feed of cracked corn and wheat at night and the chick feed gradually reduced until the chicks are a month old when they will not need it. At this time give them a' mash for their first morning feed consisting of one-half corn meal, one-quarter wheat middlings and one-quarter ground oats mixed with skimmed milk. After the chicks are a month old they may have a hopper filled with cracked corn and wheat aiways before them, with which the morning mash will bring them to maturity in good time. When not needed for breeding pur poses the cockerels from the first hatch are ready for broilers by June 10, when they will dress five pounds to the pair. The cost of feeding them to this age has not exceeded fifty cents each. The April pullets will commence laying by October, and should be re moved to the warmer quarters before the cold nights of November, as they will lay earlier and better for lt. The old hens should have been killed off in August, when they are in good de mand at the summer hotels, to be served up as spring chicken.-A. C. Hawkins, Worcester County, Mass., io American Cultivator. Two Trap Nest Pians. Many are the ways published to make trap nests. All are after sim plicity, so I give you mine, and as I have tested it thoroughly aad have two in constant use, I know it is 0. K. . Make the box to suit the hens to be trapped. Hang the entrance door so when ft shuts down the hen is trapped at about a half inch from the point where the door reaches when raised up. Inside and at the left hand of the floor, screw in a screw hook about i wo and a half inches long. Raise the door and bring the hook under ?he edge of the door. As the hen enters she touches the door a trifle, which releases the hook, and down comes the door. I have made a small sketch to make It plainer. The hook is screwed ir-to a cross piece far enough from thc side to catch the door. I prefer slat doors and I have a door over the nest for convenience, but ft is not essential.-C. M. Hayes. Nest Boxes. Thc nest is a very important mat ter. Tf the hen is permitted to have her way sh? will seek a secluded lo cation, and in summer she prefers a cool place. During the winter per iod her desire is for a warm nest, where the warmth imparted the eggs will not be dissipated too rapidly. What we desire to allude to particu larly is the nest box after warm weather begins. The nest box is the source from which lice often come, because the heat from the hen's body makes the conditions very favorable for the propagation, of lice. The nests are not cleaned as often as they should be. At least once a week the nest box should be taken outside, the material removed and burned, and new material placed in the boxes. If any signs of lice appear, sponge the boxes lightly with kerosene and apply a lighted match thereto. A flame will run over the box, but will not burn it to any extent. After placing the new material in the box, dust the whole with fresh insect powder and place the nest in a cool and secluded location In the poultry house. Dry Mash nt Noon. If fowls have access to all the fresh green food they care to con sume, it is well to feed the noon meal of dry mash. Give only what they will eat up clean during the Afternoon unless hopper feeding is used. Prncticnl Toni try Points. Feeding skim-milk has a tendency to whiten the flesh. It is more important to know the work of the individual hen than the average o? the flocic. Overfeeding of green cut bone ls opt to cause leg trouble, diarrhoea, bowel complaints and worms. Keep breeders from head lice by the occasional application cf a good lice powder, before and during hatch ing season. The Old Man's Counsel.

As au evidence of the freak ish force of the wind a big pine tree and a large plank on the property of the Hon. S. M. Roberts, abont twelve miles from Atlanta, are now joined as if .done by an expert car penter. Although the tree was a large one the plank .was picked up and driven through tie centre as neatly as if shot from a gun. Not only was the plank shot through the tree, but went through without tearing the tree. The plank was picked up in the yard of Mr. Roberts' sawmill and other planks in the pile were not molested by the wind. So singular does Mr. Roberts consider this ac tion of the tomado that he has ppsted a notice telling how the plank was driven through the big pine and or dering that it shall not be cut down.
