He was six feet high and weighed two hundred pounds. She was five feet high and weighed about ninety. She appeared In court against him. and It was a terrible sight.

FLIES THAT FLY *8peclmcn? Captured by Scientists Ap- . pear to Enjoy Themselves Immensely Under Water. More than 50 years ago Sir John Lubbock surprised naturalists with ( an account of a fly which lie had dls- J covered swimming, or flying, in a basin of water dipped from an English . pond. Another specimen soon afterward rewarded the search of another naturalist, und since that time other j , aquatic flies have been found In Eng-! land, like the first, swimming In water taken from a pond. Other observers have not been so fortunate, und some hnve searched many years for a specimen of this curious Insect without success. Last Muy, however, during an excursion i of a microscopical club, one of its I < members found a specimen of the t long-sought-for fly In a viol of pond j < water.

Two Kinds of Specialists i 1 ? By R. RAY BAKER. I (&). 1)21, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Melvla lluaiilton was a specialist In i love. Seth Johnson was also a sepclallst, i but In a different art. I Melvln was Rockford's Lothario. He i was the Idle son of a rich merchant, i with a dark, attractive face, and when > he smiled and showed double rows of dazzling white teeth, and when he brushed back his luxuriant raven locks ?well, the girls Just surrendered tnelr i hearts. Of course, Melvln's finances sometimes played a part in his conquests, but often they were Just incidental. I His handsome person and entrancing personality were the big assets, and J his money simply gave him time to . pructice ills arts. He was supposed to have an executive position in his father's store, but he spent most of his time driving in his big car and wooing fair maidens, and when he had wooed them successfully he cast them aside, "It's an age of specialists," he told a friend. "Look at the doctors who succeed, and the lawyers, and the business men. They ull specialize In some particular line. I've specialized In love affairs, and that's how I conquer the young women. Love? No, I don't love any of them; but I do love to make them love me. and then I lose Interest. There's no girl I really could feel serious about." Setli Johnson never thought of love, or if he did, his mind was not par mitted to dwell on it. He had admired girls, but from u distance. He lacked initiative where they were concerned, and, besides, lie was too busy specializing In something else, and, in addition, lie was homely, with hig freckles, /ind his clothes seldom looked neat. He had to hustle for a living. Into Rockford to live came Susan McDonald, with her curly golden hair and her smiling gray eyes and her clever mind and winning personality. She was not a specialist, except 4In being herself. The game of love was not one of her accomplishments. She had never cared seriously about a man, hut if she did she would not, "play the game," because she was too frank. No coquette was Susan McDonald. On the bureau in Melvin Hamilton's room was a row of girl's photographs ?reminders of his "victims," young women he had won and tossed aside with broken hearts. When he saw Susan he resolved to add her likeness to the collection. Pulling social wires ne managed to get an introduction, and ere long Susan rode In the big car, not frequently, but occasionally. Meivln tried his arts on her, grudually working up ' to the climax, but he failed. He had met his Waterloo, and It made him desperate. Balked in the game, he really fell In love for the first time in his life. Into the bottom of a trunk went the photos on the bureau. Melvin had decided to marry. Susan-loved him. not. The only terrestrial objects she cared about were her father and flowers. She lived alone with her only surviving parent In the big house they had bought, and she loved him dearly. She insisted that a big flower garden be created on the premised, and Mr. McDonald acquiesced, as was natural where his daughter's wishes were involved. In the meantime she enjoyed herself observing the floral beauties of Rockford. for the town had some fame on account of its numerous attractive lawns and flowers. That was where Melvin Hnmilton made a mistake?In not educating himself to care for flowers. He should / have used bouquets Instead of chocolates to storm Susan's fortress, and Ka hovo nntoroH fr? har rlnalroc 1IC oin/iliu im* v ivivu uvt uuoi? vo In that regard. ,She never forgave him for heedlessly stepping on a violet while they were strolling In the woods one day. With all his specializing, Melvln had not learned that one way to a woman's heart is to specialize In her hohbles. Seth Thomas, gardener, had been engaged to plot out the beds In the McDonald garden. No, there was no magnet In Seth's appearance, but he knew flowers from the ends Of the roots to the tips of the petals. On paper he plotted out the beds, and after several consultations with Susan, he started putting In the plants, with her assistance. The task took weeks and during that time Susan became well acquainted with her gardener. It would have been difficult really to know hlni under the circumstances, but flowers were his pets, his hobhy, his profession, apd discussion of them and his fondness for them drew out his real nature. His knowledge of them and his fondness for them made him almost a hero In the eyes of the girl who tried to be his assistant. TODAY'S INVENTK * Lowliest Laborers Now Have Luxuries That Kings Formerly Only Dreamed Of. Does Inbor benefit through Invention? Perhaps the best way to answer this Is to compare the standard of living of the average workingman today with that of his predecessor of a century ago. The skilled mechanic of today, for example, lias luxuries and conveniences that kings and princes could not have then. They are so common that he overlooks the fact that he has them or that they are chiefly due to the product of Inventive ingenuity.

He was In j a desperate mood, and when a good dj place presented Itself he drew up be- M neath the branches of a tree.
