The Gruff Old Soldier Conquered In Spite of Himself. By SUSAN H. ENDICOTT. [Copyright. 1909. by Associated Literary Press.] Major James Godfrey. D. S. A., re tired and living in his own villa with wife and daughter, had several fads and fancies to koop the family and the neighbors busy, but one particular fad was destined to get him into trouble sooner or later. He could read in his morning paper . with the greatest equanimity of mur ders, robberies, assaults, thefts and burnings at the stake, but when he came across au item about a masher he fired up at once and shouted out that he would give $500 out of his own pocket to see the scoundrel lynched or sent to prisou for life. Ills daughter used to look at him in wonder when he broke out in this fashion, while the wife was discreet ly sileut. Perhaps the latter had tllrt ed a bit before giving her heart to the major and he was remembering it in his old age. For. three months Miss Kate had wanted to attend an art school in the city and receive instructions. During those three months there happened to be au unusual number of "mashes" re corded in the papers, and the father would uot hear of her even renning up to town to do a little shopping unless he or the mother went along. He was as firm as the rock of Gibraltar. After a time, however, the record be gan to peter out. and as be was pleas ed with what his daughter had already done with the brush and had hopes of her future the major finally gave his consent. It was only eight miles to the city, and then a street car would take her right to the doors of the school. All she had to do. going and coming, as the father told her over and over, was to keep her eyes cast down and her purse clutched tightly lu her baud. Unknown to her. he took the same train to the city with her for "a week, and theu. as nothing happened and his rh?umatism got worse, he left her to make her way alone. Two weeks had passed when Miss Kate came home one afternoon lu a flutter. Her mother happeued to be out. and she must tell some one. She therefore related to the father that while on the street car en route to the depot and home some thief had snip ped the ehnin of her purse afld borne the prize away. The prize held her return ticket and a dime. At the depot she found her tears falliug. but a good Samaritan had come forward and handed her change enough for the fare. She couldn't ex actly say whether he was a grand father or a young man, homely or good looking. He had spoken ouly a few words and lifted his hat and retired. It might have been a white hat or a black "one?she could not tell. Obey ing her father, she had kept her eyes on the floor, and they were filled with tears besides. The major heard the story to the end, and then he roared. The man who had taken pity on her financial condition at the depot was a masher, of course. He had followed her home on the train. He would meet her again and make the matter au excuse for addressing her. He wns no grandfather, but a young man and no doubt a professional masher. Miss Kate should have re pulsed him with scorn. She should have had him arrested. She should have hired a truck to bring her home or walked If all the trucks wore busy. For a quarter of an hour he scolded and growled and then wound up by laying that the art school business wus at au end. She could attend no more. He would sit on the front ve randa witii a shotgun across bis knees, and If that plotting masher even passed the house he should carry away buckshot. Tears were shed and loving appeals made. lutt the rock of Gibraltar was riebt there. Two weeks passed, and the masher did not appear. At least the major did uot fire Upen any of the young men driving or walking on the highway. The daughter felt that the stranger bad been actuated by the kindest mo tives. He had spoken just enough? not a word more. Ho had not offered bis card. The fare was only '27> cents, but she felt ashamed that she could not return it. Had opportunity offered Tor a second meeting sie- would have insisted on * I?? i i?ir so. Two weeks passed away, and then I the mother went ro the city to do a little shopping. She also came home with a tale to tell. She thought she was telling it to her daughter alone, but It so happened that the major was >ist outside the window and heard i every word. She had tin is lied her j Shopping und reached the depot when ! she realized that she had spent all her I noney. A good Samaritan came for- ! w-ard. He smiled, raised his hat. a:i<! that was all. Put Mrs. Major Godfrey's eyes had J not been ft I led with tears and rust i down. She had seen that he was a ! gentlemanly looking young man or' twenty-five and that he look the same train an she did and evidently lived farther down the line.

'i bis decision had just boeu arrived at when th<? roleo of the major ?-m Everyone would be benefited by i ??ahing Foley's Orine Laxative for j e-tomach and liver trouble and habit- j ual constipation.

The two persons to whom a wo man's voice can be sweetest are a small baby she loves and a large wo man she hates. heard in the land. It was heard as It had not been beard since he led a charge In battle. He stunned at the two poor females until they were help less with terror. A masher had ap peared to break up his family, and his family were willing to be broken. Such carryings on might do for Africa, but this was America, and he wouldn't stand for them. He talked the women upstairs, and he talked the cook out of the house, nud the good Samaritan was responsi ble for a very bad night. It was three days Inter, and things had settled down a bit, when the ma jor announced that tu1 had to go to the city ou a business matter. There was another reason, bur be kept it to him self. He wanted t?> meet that masher and make jam of him. Ke felt that he could identify him among' hundreds, und once he was Identified? Ou arriving in the city the man of war called ou a broker and pocketed some bonds he had Invested in and then made calls at three different clubs to see old friends and drink cocktails to "auld lang syne." W hen ready to start for the depot and home he was in the condition known as mellow. He thought everybody a good fellow, and he thought every good fellow an old veteran, and thus when a particularly keen looking good fellow asked him into a barroom od his way to drink to Old Glory there was no hesitation. The major will remember to his dy ing day that be took brandy. He was drinking the last of It when he felt sleepy and the voice of the good fel low sounded far oft*. When he came to his senses again he was in bed at a hotel and a medical looking man was saying to a young man who didn't look medical at all: "He'll do now. but there was a time wher it was doubtful. He must have got an awful do.se." "Knockout drops, of course?" "Oh. of course. Lucky for him he has a stroug heart. He'll be nearly all rl-rht in the morning, but if you can spare the time you'd bettor see him home. He'll be trembly for two or three days." The major heard that much and won dered and slept. He awoke again at midnight and sat up in bed to see a young man beside him. He got a dose of medicine, and then he suddenly ex claimed: "Here?what's all this? Where am I?" "Don't excite yourself, major." soothed the other. "You .?re at the Revere hotel and very much better than you wore three hours ago. Sleep and quietness are what you need now. In the morning you shall learn all." "But my bonds?my bonds!" shouted the patient. "Right there before you on the stand, with your watch ami pin?not a thing missing." At daylight, when the man of Mars swung his legs out of bed. the young man sat by the window smoking and smiliug. He advanced and presented his card and observed that he had the honor of already knowing the major's name. "Now, then, what's this all about? And whore's my wife and daughter?" was demanded sharply as the patient reached his feet to tind himself so weak that he had to fall back on the bed. "I beg pardon, major, but as you were on your way to the depot yester day afternoou you met au old soldier and drank with him. He was a con fidence man. I entered the plac* Just as the knockout drops had put you into his hands. You lost nothing, and I brought you here and called a doc tor. You are pretty near all right uow. but I shall see you home after we have had something to eat. Dou't object, please. You are weak and diz zy yet." The Idea that he had been a ninny grueled the major, but he was too weak to shout. He wanted to. think, but his brain was too sluggish. Be was, therefore, like a baby hi the hands of the other for awhile. Strong coffee and a bite to eat and the ride to the depot braced him up. and as the train started he suddeuly exclaim ed: "Good Lord, but what could they have thought of my not coining home last night?" "Oh. I telepboued them from the ho tel." was the answer. "But?but? See here, young Man. how did you know where to telephone to? By jiiuiny. sir, are you the mash er that mot my wife and daughter in the depot?" "Well, major," said the other, "to tell you the truth. 1 am.

A Wild Ride and What Happened to the Culprit. By AM ELI E DELANCEY. ICopyright, 1909, by Associated Literary Press. J For six months the Widow Peurose had been planning an addition to her country residence, but absence and a rush of orders had prevented her nephew. Gordon Gordou. from running down and taking the work in hand. Finally he appeared lu his auto, driven by himself, and the machine was left at the gate. It had rested there less than half an hour when along came three young ladies with fish poles on their shoulders and one poor little tish to show that they bad uot visited the lake In vuiu that fore noon. The sight of an auto was more familiar to them than that of a car riage. They were residents of the city and friends at home and were sum mering at good Aunt Mary's boarding house..a quarter of a mile away. "An auto!" they cried in chorus as they came to a bait "And the owner is in the house!" "And we cau take a ride without his knowing it!" "Yes. but uoue of us cau run it." "Girls," said Miss Dorothy Flint, with whom this story has mostly to do. "I have ridden in autOS so many times that 1 believe 1 could run one. Yes, 1 know 1 could. It's just like steering a boat after you get started. I believe you turn the crank in front first. That Ignites the spark or some thing. Then, after you get in, you pull this lever back, and away she goes. I think the auto belongs to a doctor. Doctors are always good hearted men. and I'm sure this one won't begrudge us a,little spin. Get in." But the command was In vain. They hadn't conlidence in her experience and skill as a chauffeur. If she conld run an auto, why not drive the ma chine to the lake and back? She hesi tated and was jeered at. She made an If to turn away and was "dared." ? Perhaps Miss Dorothy's grandfather was one of those who fell at Lexington or lay wounded on the field of Bunker II111. At any rate, the "dare" had hardly been dured when she was at the crauk, and us soon as the whizzing noise came to prove that the dead ma chine had come to life she climbed lu and gave It a st:?xt. She went off with a whew and had not covered a hundred feet when she wished she bad not gone at all. But it was too late. There were a dozen "Oh. mys!" behind her, and she forgot ev erything but holdiug the wheel with a grip of death. If she had ever heard that an auto could be stopped she forgot it now. It was a hard, wide road, and she was out of sight in three minutes. The other two girls stood there with mouths and eyes wide open nnd fcel iug helpless even to scream out when a young man came ?oavu from the house, raised his hat, looked around and luquired somewhat anxiously: "Have you seen a stray auto round here?" "It's run away." answered one after a moment. "With a g-gurl," added the other as the tears came to her eyes. "What! Do you mean that some girl is driving my auto up or down the highway without my permission?" "Y-yes!" "And who is she. may I inqulre7" "A Miss Flint." "Well. Miss Flint has nerve. Is ehe used to driving autos?" "We?we guess so. but sbo seemed scared when she started off. Wou't you ruu after her, sir? You sec, we dared her to." "And she wouldn't take a dare? Well, there's a $4,000 auto gone to wreck and a girl lying somewhere be side tho road with a broken neck. Run after her! Why, she may be fif teen miles away by this time! now could she be so foolish!" "But If she is d-dead. sir. some one must bring home her?her mangled re mains!" said one of the girls as both broke dowu and wept. "Well, 1 believe there's a saddle horse in the stable, and I'll set out in pursuit. Young ladies, let this be a solemn warning <o you?very solemn." Ho wus a young man of two or three and twenty and did not look a bit like a doctor. Besides, he was uot a stranger to the house from which he had emerged. He tried to look very dignified and serious as lie uttered his warning, but It was a failure. Any young mau of that age would have made a failure of It. Even though the girls were tearful and anxious as they walked along home they agreed titteringly that he didn't look a bit solemn. lie brought out the horse as soou as possible and galloped a Way, but at the lake the highway forked. There were three diverging roads, and he must nnd did take his chance of hitting the right oik.-. He had galloped down the left baud one for three miles before a farmer replied to his bail: "No; haven't seen no gal scootia' by here in an auto at fifty miles no hour If I had I should have Hung a rock after her. Beats all how different the gals of this age are from those of forty years ago. Why. when my wife was a gal"? But the pursuer waited to hear do more. He returned lu the lake and. finding the right Ir.iml road a little better lIlRU the middle oiie, took it und galloped ahead. When be bud gone a distance of two miles he drew rein to speak to a farmer's wife weeding | a Cower bed In the front yard. ' "A gal and an auto, eh7" she que Hoarseness broueVtis and oth"t throat troubles are qui:kly cured by Foley's Honey and Tar ;u !t soothes and heals the Inflam?*-! throat and hronichal tubes and the most obsti nate cough disappears.

Silence is Indeed golden to those who are paid to keep quiet. ried. "No; I don't think I've seen 'era. Might have seen 'em, but if so it has slipped my mind. What was the color of the gal's hair?" "But you have' either seen them or not!" exclaimed the young man petu lantly. "That's so?that's so. Waal. I guess they took the other road. That Is. they did if they didn't take to the fields. Think it's goin' to rain this week?" By the time young Gordon had re turned to the lake his horse was In a lather, and he decided to go back to \ his auut's in the hope that the auto might also have returned. His hope was vain. The horse was leg weary, and the rider entered the bouse and called up a farmer on the niiddle road four miles away. "A gal and au auto?" repented the man at the other end of the line. "You bet your boots I've seen 'em! Went by here three hours ago like a whirlwind. Struck one of my hogs lyhY In the road and knocked him a hundred feet. Whew, but that old machine was glid In' some!" "And the girl herself?did she seem frightened?" "Scared most to death, I guess. Her eyes seemed to be hangln' out, aud maybe she was prayln*. She was hold in' the machine In the middle of the road, however. If she lives to get to the Red bridge she'll be stopped there by the constable. He's stationed there to look for speeders." The girl who "dared" lived to reach the bridge. It was an act of Provi dence. From the moment the onto got Its speed, which was thirty miles an hour, she was dumb, frozen and help less to do anything but hold the wheel. She saw nothing but the white road ahead of her. She passed vehicles and overhauled others, hut she was scarce ly conscious of it. As she approached the bridge the strain was too much, and her fingers anciutched from the wheel, and the auto dashed Its way through the roadside fence and came to n standstill In a field. Then Miss Flint fainted away. When she came to her senses the constable was sprinkling waler in her face and saying: "Come, now. none of your tricks with me. You are just playing possum he cause I have caught you. It's a case for Squire Johnson, and I shouldn't wonder If you got jail for It." "What?what are you going to do?" asked the girl as she staggered to her feet. "Put you in the village lockup and notify the squire, of course. Take my arm and come along. The machine is pretty well busted, and we can't use it. Wonder It didn't blow up and send you sky high. Were you eloping or something of that kind?" "I?1 was just taking a ride," was the humble answer. "Just making the dirt fly thirty feet high and scaring folks and horses half to death. Well, the squire will be tickled to see you. He's been aching for the last week to get hold of a speeder and give him a good ?ose of county Jail. How dare you take the chances?how dare you!" "Would you taLe a dare from two girls?" asked the prisoner as she re leased her arm and faced him. "No-o-o. 1 guess not." "Well, L wouldn't, and so there! If they want to send me to Jail let 'em do It!" She was taken to the office of the village justice of the ponce and ar raigned. On the way there the con stable's heart melted. He saw that she had had a bad scare, and he liked her defiant spirit. Therefore, while he had to make complaint against her, he did not put the speed at thirty miles an hour. To this he added the statement that if the auto hadn't struck a stone in the road it would uot have struck the fence. Then he turned and winked at the wondering, shivering girl to put heart in her. It may have been one of his honor's soft days, no delivered a lecture on the rise and fall of the Roman empire or some other equally interesting sub ject and concluded by suspending sen tence. Then the constable invited the ex-prisoner home with him to dinner and set about arranging to ser.d her back to her friends. Evening had come, arid sho was about ready to start when Gordon came galloping up. When he had In troduced himself as the owner of the smashed auto he asked grimly: "And who is to pay the $500 dam ages? And who Is to pay for my trou ble? Why, If the Justice had known all the circumstances he'd have sent you to jail for a year!" "But the other girls dared mo to do it!" protested the culprit, with trem bling lip. "Say. young man." said the consta ble as he drew Gordon aside, "you Just get even by daring the gal to mam yon. She ain't the kind that takes a dare. See? You can drive her hack In the buggy, and yo;i just keep daring her all the way. Lord, but I wish I was In your shoes!" It was a flue moonlight ride. It was not too fast. The situation was a little strained at first. Im I after awhile the farmers heard laughter ns the buggy passed. I'erhaps there was one dare, perhaps a dozen.
