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

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

She hesitated a little.

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

. "I think I know what you are ?

swered. "I have only to add that

It would prove a blessing to the
and a beautiful memorial for E

The man was watching her close]
"You wan; me to pay these far

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.

A good appetite ls the best sauce.
It goes a long way toward helping In

. Many persons have found that
Grape-Nuts food is not only nourlsh

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.

stomach from childhood. By great
care as to my diet I enjoyed a reason

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
