"I'm sory for myself," responded Ned Dayton, rather grewsomely. "Look here. Cyrus, you're my best chum and you are the cousin of the girl I love. You must know her father and his ways pretty well. Is he really the terrible tyrant they describe hiin?" "Ned." explained Cyrus, solemnly. uti! ?* ivKuiirr ogre. ne 11 prouaDiy | gnash his teeth and jump on you and maybe throw you from his oflice window. I know two fellows who made up to Leila and submitted their prospects to the old man. One has left town and the other is running yet." Ned looked pretty much concerned. If he had not been so much in love, he might have noticed a sly twinkle in the eye of his mischief-making comrade. "Well," observed Ned after a moment of serious thought, "I'll beard this desperate lion in his den, come what may." Ned was inspired with no ordinary love for pretty petted Leila Allen, the alleged ogre's only daughter. He had come down to Hopeton at the invitation of Cyrus Moore, his chum, to meet his fate. It was decidedly up to him now to advise stern dignified old Judge Allen that he wished to euter his family as a son-in-law. There could be no possible objections to this, except that Ned had no business experience and was credulous and innocent of the ways of the world. If this latter had not been true he would have discounted Mooro's lurid references to I Vila's father and have recalled Moore'.* reputation as a practical joker on all occasions. Ned had not as yet seen Judge Allen except at a distance. Of a verity the judge was a rather severe and ultra-dignified looking person. Ned could show up pretty well, however, as to family Income and prospects, if he was only given a chance to present his claims. "That'H just it, you see," declared Cyrus, the sly tease. "It's breaking h 1 "That Young Man," Growled the Judge. the first Ice with the judge that counts." "Say. couldn't you Introduce me?" suggested N'ed with eagerness. "Me? Why," declared Cyrus, "it would doom your case at the start. Truth is, I am down in the judge's bad books for a Joke I played on him. Mixed up some law references ho had in an important case and made a monkey of him in open court. He never forgave me. Oh, say!" fairly shouted Cyrus, as though struck by a sudden idea of tremendous force.?"the very thins!" "What is?" inquired Ned hopefully. "Why didn't 1 think of it before!" exclaimed Cyrus, "magnificent! It solves the problem. I can put you in just right with the judge?hurrah! I. D. L. A. S. O. M." 1 "Kh!" stared the bewildered Ned. wondering if his friend was taking leave of his senses. " 'I 3>early Love A Son Of Momus'?see?" propounded Cyrus. "I don't," confessed Ned in hopeless wonderment. "Secret society. Great go In town two years ago. Got the judge to Join. Initiated him. First thing you do when you see him shout that at h!m. Then give the password " "What is It?" inquired Ned In his artless way. catching on. "Sesquepedalian." "What'll he do then?" "Recognize you as a brother member?take you to his fraternal and paternal arms. Oh. how lucky I though of it!" and Cyrus chuckled till he wriggled. In perfect good faith Ned Dayton called at the office of Judge Allen thA fnllnaMncr Hoar I J ~ * * uii;. no Mitll'l] I11H namft. Yes, his host had heard him mentioned by his daughter. but he said so gruffly and he scanned the young man over as if he was on the witness stand "Judge Allen," spoke our hero, "I have como on a very particular errand, but first?"I. D. I* A. S. O. M." " What!" The eminent Jurist turned black In the face. He gave his innocent visitor a terrible look. *" Sesquepedallan,' " added the over confident Ned with a knowing smile.

Hang! smash! clatter!?the per- I turbod Ned got through Hie doorway j just as the ponderous law tome grazed his head, shattered the .glass in tho of.ice door and preceding him on a rushing roll down the stairs and to the street. Ned sought his friend Cyrus for consolation, hut found that he had suspiciously and mysteriously left town on a fishing trip. He dared not venture to call at the Allen home that night, but managed to meet Leila on the street. "Oh. if I only had that scapegrace, Cyrus Moore!" cried Leila, when Ned had narrated his dismal story. "Why, what has Cyrus got. to do with it?" usked the unsophisticated Ned. "He has played otio of his practical jokes on you and 1 will take delight in hexing his ears when he puts in an appearance again!" declared tho irate little miss. "About two years ago sonio jokers got papa to join the 'Sons of Menus.' They gave him a terrible initiation and he never forgives even an allusion to the host." "I certainly have put my foot in it!" groaned poor Nod. "You certainly have." agreed Leila. "What can 1 do?" "Go and see papa and explain." advised Leila. Somehow Neil could not sutnmou up the courage to do this. lie passed the Allen home the next evening. There were no lights in the house and ho took up his station In the shadow of a big tree. "The family have gone out to some neighbor's. I suppose," he reasoned "I'll stay here and catch tho judge as he returns." It was nearly one-half an hour later when Ned pricked up his ears. The gate latch of the Allen place clicked and some one came out. He recognized the light overcoat the judge wore. As the pedestrian passed him Ned stepped out from covert. "Just a word, judge," he began? biff! The wearer of the overcoat shot out his list, dropped something he was carrying and put down the street on a run. "Well, this is queer!" commented Ned, staring vaguely after the fugitive. "He dropped a package, 1 declare!" Ned stared hard as he opened a pii low case to find it stuffed full of sil verware, documents and jewelry. He guessed the oracle speedily?a burglar had looted the Allen home, taking the judge's overcoat as well. ts;n uown oil tin' rront steps to await the return of the Aliens. Soon Leila and her father came Into view. "Why, Ned!" exclaimed the daughter. "That young ma..!" growled the judge. "You'll find a better password than your last one, if you expect to stay around here." "Yes, see?this is my password on the present occasion," explained Ned. as he handed over the stolen plunder and explained about it. The judge was fairly delighted to recover papers of great value; he declared. Ned took heart. ".fudge Allen," he said manfully, "there's only one password I'll over use. if you consent to my plea for happiness." "And what's that?" asked tlio judge.

Just what is the reason for this has not been determined, although alienists and others liavo offered all sorts of explanations. One of these is that when a great calamity befalls a community children born of parents who have suffered much through the calamity are likely to be born mentally deficient. The parents themselves may not suffer in that way because, being fully grown and matured mentally, they survive the shock. One on the Lawyer.

Four- 5 teen hours a day George sleeps; five hours more than President Wilson and ten hours more than Napoleon or Thomas Rdison. George used to tell great tales of himself and of the events of long ago, but during the last few years his mind has gradually failed, and now his tr-ngue keeps up a babble as cease less as it is meaningless. That his memory isn't quite gone, however, is attested by G. A. Smeeman of Grand Kapids, now in his twenties, who re cently visited here after an absence of many years. When a lad of six Smeeman was given some fish by George, who in those days was an active old man. The ancient African, in his quavering voice, rehearsed the story of tin fish in detail as he crinkled the parch ment-like skin of his face into a wizened smile. Child's Eyes Turning to Stone.

During a recent investigation measurements of f?00 recruits were examined, and it was found that flic percentage of strong men enlisted is by far the lowest at the present day, only :::: per cent., as against f>7 per cent, in 1 K7f>.

It is suggested that many of the recruits obtained years ago were hardy (lertnan and Irish emigrants of stocky build, which may account for the great difference in the percentage of strong men. "We must take the figures cautiously," says that officer.
