- III i ri i 11, un ?? i '?j* *** * *'* * * * The Girl and How Eleanor Morris -Hone , and Mads a Placs For H? v/. R. KO&Z, In Cle* lt was a fair October day, a day of ? blue skies and sunny rays, a day with a springlike breath in the soft'air. \ The man walking slowly along the ** road that wound close to the eage of the valley, stopped now and then and drew in the. pleasant air with a grate ful smile. Ile was net a man who smiled often. His air was serious, his movements deliberate. His close cut beard was gray, but his dark eyes beneath the jutting brows were k^een and bright. He paused presently and lopked across the valley and his smile deep ened. "A pleasant morning," said a voice .close at hand. He looked arcane? with a little start and his smile faded. A girl, a strange girl who had softly crossed the road, confronted him. He was not ii a mood to he annoyed by stranger^. "You have mentioned a fact that admits of.no argument." he' gruiHy ahsvCered, and slowly moved along, his kean gaze returning to the Valley and the hills beyond. " But the interruption continued. "Will you let me stats one more fact that doesn't admit of argument?" said the undaunted one. "Our little vall?y in its rim of hills makes a de lightful picture." He looked around frowningly, a sharp rebuke on his lips. The girl was regarding him with a pleasant smile. She was net a young girl, twenty-five, perhaps, a slender girl with brown hair and dark eyes. The rebuke -was softened. "I'll admit the view is highly satis factory/' he said. "Good morning." She did not move away. - Presently he looked around and saw her and growling beneath his breath, slowly continued his walk. The girl kept pace with him, but at a little distance. -Boes it look now as it looked Cf ty years ago?" she presently asked. He, turned quickly, but she was gazing across the valley with an ab sorbed air. "What's your nams?" he abruptly demanded. . i >? "Eleanor Morris." "Do you live in this neighbor hood?". "Yes. That's my hone at the bend in the road. . I live there with ny mother." "I suppose you were a child at one tine?" "Yes.^ "V "And you could read childish stories?" * "Yes." ' **Among these stories didn't you come across some that contained a moral fjH^ldlesome girls?" ! xSm Kmber any. But there were 9 Rome of them-bears who Jil BaBR-eadfully and were cever Jp Hprce as.they locked." He ? Hrhsad threateningly as he turdn Ra>' He oHHreant to he bitterly sar castic, DnVsonehow the words failed him. But he gave her a parting shot, i "Run along, child," he' said over his shoulder. "I'm sure your mother wants you." She laughed merrily. , "I wish they could have heard that in the big office," sne said. He whirled about. "What did you say?" he sharply emanded. The girl laughed again. "I like this," she said. "It is so gratifying to be able to approach you without a card and a boy in buttons *and a long, and hopeless wait at a closed door. " The man tried to frown. "You ?re too clever," he said. "If you know as much as you pretend to know,-you are aware that I don't like clever women-more especially clever ?irl>" "I'm afraid." said the girl, "that you have never shown any fairness in your treatment of us.. What do you know about girls?" The man suddenly chuckled. . ? "I might reply that the present sample does not impress me with the magnitude of ny neglect. " The girl's face grew grave. "Do you know," she said, "I had al ways doubted. lt. " "Doubted what?" "That you had any sense of hu mor. " : vi He couldn't help Chuckling again and the girl laughed with him. "What's the matter with me?" he suddenly said-. "I'm getting foolish." He scowled fiercely. "Come, come," he cried, "what's thc favor you are after?" The girl opened her trown eyes .^der. "Favor?" she repeated. "I'm net after any favor. In fact, I think it may be the other way." The man smiled. "You certainly arc amusing," he said. "I begin to like your assurance. And you arouse my curiosity." "You flatter me beyond all de serving," said the girl, .with a quick little courtesy. "I amuse you, I please you, I puzzle you. Mere", monsieur." And she courtesied again with a quick graco that was altogether d3 Jightful. * "Do you mind telling me," he asked, "how you happen to know me -admitting that you are correct?" She laughed. "That's very easily explained. I worked in your office." "You! I don't remember your" "I don't .'think you ever saw me. I was merely ono cf t 2 machines lu *he outer room. Fe .-haps you may ecall that your stenographer, John Robinson, was ill for several days. I took his place. But I'm quite posi tive you never looked at me." II remember the tine," said the man. "I asked about you afterward. They said you had gone away. If I didn't look at you I looked at your work. I recall that it pleased me." -Thank you," said the girl. "I re ****** *'*#?****-:.***** '.'the'Magnate. <? ?red Her Father's Msmcry .r?plf ?land Plain Dealer. * ********* * * ******* member tba; you frightened me. But you don't frighten me now. , I seem to mest you bere on an equal foot ins." She looked around. "Nature ls so democratic, you knqw." "That's rather good," he said, ti havev told you that I inquired about you-why did you l?ave your place?" "My mother was taken ill and sent for me. There was on one else to ' care for her. .My duty keeps me ;here." - He gravely nodded. , "An.1 you knew that I'lived in thc village when I was a boy?" "Yes. It is a tradition anions us. And we all think you will come back some day and do something hand some for the old'home. " "It's lucky," he said, "that nobody in the village recognized me. You are the only one who appears to know me. Can I rely upon your discre tion?" A smile crept over the girl's face. "Do you admit that a woman can possess that masculine trait?" He couldn't forbear a laugh. "I begin to look upon you as a rara avis." "You arc quito wrong," she quickly responded. "I'm only ons of 'a very large family." She looked at him moro closel}'. "Of course I know what brought you down here." Ile frowned in sudden anger. "What do you mean?" he harshly demanded. "Don't forget," said the girl, "that wc are out herc in the open where all men are equal. I know that you are here because you are displeased with the survey made by your engineers tor the new line from Somers to Steclvill?. You know this country, s.nd your training as an engineer tells you the company's experts are wrong. " He locked at her wita lowered brows. "That's right," he said. "What then?" "You cama down here alone and unheralded to look the field over. That's your way." She paused and a smile twitched the corners of her mouth. "And I think," she added, "that you are just a little puzzled." He stared at her. "Why puzzled?" "Because you can't at the moment discover any way to improve upon the route suggested by your experts." The man was not angry On the contrary he shook his head at her in an almost amusing way. ii You are uncanny," he said. "No," she answered. "I am merely observant-If you credit a woman with so valuable a trait. Will you stop here, please?" He obeyed her. "Let us say that your new road comes in from Somers around the cor ner of the lake and skirts the marsh land on a twenty-foot rise along the .base of Bald hill. Then an eighty foot bridge will carry it over the gorge and lift it to a fifty-foot level just below us. From here you can rua dii-ectly south with not more than eighteen-foot rise to the mile." ; He turned and'stared at her. "Did you plan this out yourself?" "No," she answered. "It's not minek It was mapped a dozen jdars ago. It is only mine by right of in heritance." She gave him a quick smile. "Are you fond of buttermilk. Mr. Gorden?", "Very," he answered. "If you will walk with me to our home I will be glad to'let you sample our brand. And there is something I want to show you." . "Thank you," he said. "You honor me by your invitation." He bowed to her with grave dig nity,- and she dropped him her little courtesy. "Ob, oh," she cried, "to think of having the president of the Midland and Great Northern a guest at our frugal bbard." 1 "Not quite so loud, please," cau tioned the man. "This is our little secret, remember." "And you expect me to keep a se cret?" she cried. "It can't be -flbs sible." "Eut it is," said the man, "I'll ad mit the thing Is strange, but I dont seem to have any fear that you will betray me." "Eetter and better," said the girl. "You shall have the entire jar of buttermilk for that." It was a plain cottage, neat and homelike. And the buttermilk tasted much better than that the man bought at the gilded restaurant just around the corner from the great railway building. "I must ask you to encase my mother, Mr. Gordon." said the girl. "She is taking her afternoon nap." "Present her my kindest regards and sympathy," said the man, as he put down the glass. The girl had opened the old book case ?nd brought cut a portfolio. "My father was an engineer and draftsman. Mr. Gordon," she said, "but his health broke down and he came home to die. It had been his dream for many years that a railroad would some time open up this region. And when he was so ill that'he could work but an hour or two a day, lt was his favorite recreation to plan for the coming linejrfL was my father's idea that I ruggested to you, and these are hi3 drawings and measurements." She lai? the portfolio before the man and drew back a little. The magnate glahced over the fad ing sheets. The inspection to'ik some time. Then he looked up. "These calculations are admirable," .fcc said. "I am willing to admit they are worth something to tho company. They will make a saving in material and greatly reduce the time of con struction. Have you put n price on them?" She shook her head. "No." she answerod. "Not in the way you msan." "You have something on your ;\ "revs . , - ... - ' . ' ? -. - . . . !m?nd," said the man. "Tell ne w it Is." .. She hesitated a little. ' "My father thought well of neighbors," s?he said. "They were people. They were fond of h: When he died they came from m? miles .around to pay their last spects-to testify to their love him. I know he would have bi glad to have helped them much mi than hfi did, but he was a poor m You know something of what life is this little settlement. You know tl It would drive you to despair. Thi of those who cannot' get away, fr its dullness-its weary sameness.' She paused and studied vhe ma face. "Go oh," he said. "These are poor people. They fo: reluctant crops from the, wornt land. A little money to them is li riches." "Go on," he said again. . She had paused, but now she bra' ly resumed. "I know," she^sa?d, "how ye agents bought up the land for ye coming railway. I know hew ti 'contrived and tricked and s:hemi It was gocd business, of course, t not for the simple farmers. It v? the chance cf a lifetime ior the and they missed it. Of the severn three farmers whose land you ha secured for a right of way not o received the full value oE his acr I am blaming nobody-only it hard, very hard, cn these bent a: weary men." . "I think I know what you are ? lng to say," remarked the man. "E go on." "I am near the end," the girl a swered. "I have only to add that seems to me right to distribute amoi these farm owners the money y< will save by using my father's plai It would prove a blessing to the and a beautiful memorial for E father." The man was watching her close] "You wan; me to pay these far owners something moro than \ agreed to pay them?" "Yes.x" *Eut the plans are yours." "Yes." "And thc money we should sa be yours." "No, no," she cried. "It is f< them. I am honoring my father wh< I ask it." Ho waited a moment. "And you are determined that th quixotic scheme shall be carrie through?" "Yes, yes." "Then it shall be as you wish, will have the matter arranged as soc as I return. Does this satisfy you' "Yes, yes," said the girl. "It fll me with joy. Thank you, thank you He held up his .hand. "No, no," he cried. "There are r thanks due. This is a straight bus ness deal. I'm getting value receive in full along the line. And may trouble you for another glass of bu termilk?" She laughed merrily at this, laugh that was a little hysterical. "And now," she said a momer later, "can I be of any service to yo in a professional way? Do you wai any letters written? See. here is m typewriter. I will be only too gla to help you ii L can." The man nodded. "That's fine," he said. "There ar several letters that should be sent a once. Besides, I want to renew m professional acquaintance with th i girl who took Robinson's place." "The girl you never looked at?" "Yes, that's the girl. Are yo ready?" . He arose to- his feet and pacin the floor in the way the girl remen I bered well, he rapidly dictated a hal dozen letters-crisp, sharp, vigorou business letters. And the girl wit; her pad and pencil kept pace wit! him. The last letter of the six was a con fidential communication, a missive o an' extremely Important character and ene that necessitated profoum secrecy. The man looked at the girl as thi last words fell from his lips. Then he smiled. "You see you are In ny ccnfl dence," he said. Her eyes were shining. She held up the stenographic note; of the letter. "This," she said, "is the finest com pliment I ever received." He nodded and smiled. "That's neatly said." He paused ir his nervous walk. "I think that's al 'or to-day." The girl gathered up her noces. ( "Let me put a comfortable chair cr the porch here," she said. "You car sit and smoke and recall thc vallej you once knew so well-while I make j the typewritten copies." I The magnate was dozing In the comfortable chair when the girl came back with the letters. He put on his glasses and looked them over carefully. Then he slowly nodded. "I'll mail these when I get back to tho village^ And you may wrap up those plans' and estimates, if you please." Ho looked at his watch. "I'll have to walk fast to catch the noon stage." She had turned to go. "One moment. Can you contrive to have your mother placed in com petent care? Is she well enough for you to leave y Ith a companion?" "Yes," the girl replied. ' i have an aunt in the West who would be glad to make this her home." The magnate arose. "Good," he said, in his abrupt way. "I need a confidential stenographer. Robinson isn't taking care of himself. I can't trust him. I'll find him some thing else to do. Will you take the place?" [ "Yes," said the girl, in her quiet tone. "That's settled. Report to me at the company's office at 10 o'clock Tues? day morning." The girl nodded. "But you are forgetting some thing," she said. "You are forgetting that this is a very responsible place for a woman." "No, I'm not," he quickly an swered. "It's your misfortune. If you were not a woman I might be willing to pay you more than Robin son is receiving. But you'll have to worry along at present on his $3000." And he suddenly laughed. ? HEADING OFF BLINDNESS. Proposed Measures to Prevent In fection at Birth, John E. Ray, Principal State School for the Blind and the Deaf, Raleigh, N. C., has issued the following : A special committee of the New York Association for the Blind which was appointed to investigate the causes of preventable blindness and to cooperate with physicians in seek ing measures of prevention,. has re ported that the" State Board of Health has taken- steps tc insure against the widespread cause of blindness through infection at hirth. The committee has found that about one-half of all blindness is due to preventable causes, and that about one-third bf the cases of blindness in children is caused by ophthalmia j neonatorum, a preventable infectious i disease occrring at birth. A drop of I a 1 per cent solution of silver nitrate ? dropped into the eyes of - a child at I birth is a sufficient preventive of j this infection. The.use of this anti-1 septic has been recommended by the American Medical Association, and \ the committee of the New York Asso-j ciation for the Blind has united with ' the State Commissioner of Health in enforcing the ^general use of this precaution. The State Commissioner of Health will endeavor to provide ? this solution through, local health'of-j fleers to any physician and midwife, applying for it. . Birth certificates issued by the State Department now bear ' the query: "Wha'; prevetiyc for ophthal mia neonatorum did you use?"' If none, state the reason therefor." It has been enacted that these notifica tions of birth be returned in thirty six hours instead cf ten days, as heretofore. It is believed that if a physician or midwife- has failed to use such a preventive the' reminder on the birth certificate will in most instances prove effective." The above is a clipping taken from a recent issue of the New York Sun. It \ells.its own story. It shows that the authorities of at least one State are alive to the appalling condition which confronts the commonwealth. Nov is New York the only State in which active efforts are being put forth to "head off" one .of the mo:;t distressing calamities which can be fall a human being. And to realize that much of this distress >can be pre vented is a loud call to.-.every-citizen in the nation. There are enrolled the present ses sion in the North Carolina State School for the Blind and Deaf 2(53. blind children (besides 100 deaf chil dren.) At least one-fonrth^of these need never have been blind, and would not have been, if proper pre ventive remedies had b^'n employ ed within twenty-four nours after the birth of the chili. Gentile reader, do you realize that there are from sixty-five to ninety children in this school doomed to a life of darkness and a handicap in the race for bread-winning all their days-some of them to lead the lives bf helpless dependents, if not abject paupers? And there are still at least 128 more blind children in the State who have not been enrolled in our school at all. This will make the figures the more appalling-one hundred and thirty blind children in North Carolina whose sight might have been preser'/ ed with a little care exercised and al most without expensed And let every physician andym.id I wife in North Carolina supply^im-; self or herself with this preparation and attend to its proper administra tion in every case. Care should be taken that the solution .r sall not be stronger thant one per cent, j There is yet another phase of pre ventable blindness about which I will not write . fully now. It is in connection with hereditary blindness. I had not laid much stress upon this until I read a very learned treatise recently written by Clarence Loeb,-A. M., M. D., of St. Louis, Mo. He has examined thoroughly and . minutely into the history of 1,204 families in all parts of? the United States in which one or both parents were blind from one to twelve diseases of the eye. The percentage of blindness in the 4,155 children boni in these families varies from 54.8 to 66.4. And to my surprise the percentage, of blindness in the collateral heredity is greatest, viz,: 66.4! Dr. Loeb con cludes from the results of his in vestigations that persons born blind (congenital) ought never to marry. WHEN DINNER COMES One Ought to Have a Good Appetite. A good appetite ls the best sauce. It goes a long way toward helping In the digestive process, and that ls ab solutely essential to health and strength. . Many persons have found that Grape-Nuts food is not only nourlsh ine hut ls a great appetizer: Even children like the taste of it and grow strong and rnsv from its use. It.is especially the food to make a weak sfomnrh strong and create an appetitp for dinner. "I am ~>7 years old." .writes a Tenn, grnndmother. "and have had a weak stomach from childhood. By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reason able degree of health, but never found anvthlng to equal Grape-Nuts as fl standby. "When I have no. appetite for breakfast and just eat to keep up my strength'. I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts-with good rich milk, and whpn dinner comes I am hungry. While if I go without any breakfast I never feel like eatingdlnner. Grape Nuts for breakfast seems to make a healthy appetite for dinner. "My little 13-mont.hs-old grandson had been very sick with stomach trouble during the past summer, and finally we put him on Grape-Nuts. Now he is growing plump and well. When asked If he wants his nurse or Grape-Nuts, he brightens up and points to the cupboard. He was no trouble to wean at all-thanks to Grape-Nuts."
