Bamch-Nettles COMPANY CULMINATION OF FEUD By C. C. HARRI80N. Between the "Maxwell* and the Hoyce* there existed a foud aw fierce as the blstorlo one between the Mon tagues and the Capuletp. Old man Maxwell hated old man Boyce with a fervor Inherited from their fathers be fore them aud Ethel Maxwell hated Carl Hoyce with a fierceness reflected from her grandfather, old man Max* well, while Carl Hoyce hated Ethel Maxwell as much an a w?ll favored young fellow could be expected to bate a pretty girl, albeit not to much as his uncle, Old Boyce, might desire, These being the somewhat complex conditions und all of the parties In the drama wore locutod for the sum mer At tbe same coast resort. Now It happenfH that sailing was Ethel Maxwell's enthusiasm. So in the middle of a glorious after noon Ethel found herself bounding over the billows of the bay with a taut sheet and a steady tiller. Carl Hoyce had decided also to take a nail that afternoon, and wan skim ming over the waves alone with his thoughts, when on a tack be came right across the bow of Ethel's boat. In fact, Ethel's quick use of the tiller was all that prevented a collision. "A very awkward tack, Mr. Doyce," sung out Ethel, pertly. "Didn't expect to run Into ladies on the bay," retorted Carl. "Supposed a man waH in the boat and could take care of himself." Ethel flushed and sung out: "There's man enough In this boat to beat you to the Island for a sliver cup." "Go ahead," came^back the answer Now the island was far out at the entrance to the bay, and too near the open nea to make it safe sailing with but one in a boat. So intent were the contestants on making the best of their opportunities that they did not notice the gathering clouds. So It was that a catastrophe ensued right at the point of the island. While making a tack on which they ran rather close together, ft sudden gust of wind from the open sea lifted Ethel's boat fairly out of the water and hurled It squarely against that of Boyce. In an Instant both were In the water and both boats hopelessly cap* sited. Ethel was not a strong swimmer, and with her skirts was in a bad way, but Boyce soon had a strong arm about her and another over a cap sized boat. "Well," he said, with a grin, "here Is a situation for a novelist." "Please remove your arm," replied Ethel. "I can hang on quite well now. What are we going to do about itr "I \vould suggest formal Introduc tions," remarked Carl. "Permit me to present Mr. Carl Boyce, Miss Max well." Then growing serious he con tinued: "It would be a strange fate were we to die together ? we who were born to hate each other." "Do you think it is as bad as that?'* she asked, her face blanching. "It in getting rougher every min ute," he replied. The next hour was a continuous struggle with death. Finally a great wave engulfed them and they were carried "with tremendous velocity a great distance and finally crashed down on the very shore of the island. Boyce hapjdly retained conscious ness, and when his feet struck the earth under the receding water he ut tered a fervent prayer of thanksgiving. He carried his unconscious companion ashore and set about restoring hor. Night wks setting in before Bhe was. strong enough to set up. They were in a most embarrassing predicament. The island was uninhabited, and the storm had driven all boats, from the bay. , - ; . "What is to be done?" she asked, after they had sized the situation. . "We will have to remain here all night," he replied gravely. She turned pale even in ther white nes of her exhaustion. "Oh It is Impos sible," she cried. . r. . | "I fear it iB the only thing possi ble." "I had better have died in the bayt" she said slowly. "I would never dare face my grandfather." "MIsb Maxwell," said Boyce, "there is a better way. We will both land at Fishville and there bo married" ' "Mr. Boyce!" - : "Miss Maxwell." "It is a poor time to Jest." "I am not jesting. You dare not meet your grandfather alone. Very well, I am not afraid of him. We will meet him together. I dare not meet my uncle alone. You do not fear him. I will meet him with you." A telegram from Fishville next day announced the safety of fhe two and when they arrived later In the day all the pleasure seekers were at the train to meet them. And speculation was rife. And there was much whispering. Old Maxwell and Old Boyce glared at each other and looked grim. Both re fused to yield the vantage point at the very spot where the passengers must alight. Carl Boyce alighted from the train, turned and helped Ethel down, then placing his arm about her, said: "Uncle George and ' Mr. Maxwell. peHnlt me to present my wife. The ceremony was a little sudden, but wo thought it best under the circum stances." There was a great bnzzing and shouting in the crowd. The two old men looked into each other's faces. Tli en OH Man Maxwell extended, his hand, which Old Man Boyce grasped. (Copyright, by Dally Story Tub. Co.) - - _ i USES PECULIAR TOOLS PHILADELPHIA DENTI8T ALSO! HA* UNIQUE PRACTICE, 8 Called Upon to Alleviate Panga of Toothache Among Denlaane of the "Zoo," He la Not Envied by the Profeeelon. ?Tom Manley, dentist. Office, Phila dolphin Zoo. Teeth extracted from ele phants, KirufTuM tuid bo* constrictors; rhinoceros horns removed; wild bog tusks Ailed. " This card is inserted without charge, ?ays the North American. In the first place, Manley holds no decree of doc tor of dental surgery, so the zoo Is vio lating no professional ethics in dis closing bis methods. In tho second place, he will probably get no trad? boost from his advertisement. One peep into his office and laboratory, where forceps are two feet long and as wicked looking as a guillotine, would bo sufficient to frighten away the biggest bravest Iron-Jawed patient In Christendom. No shiny looking knives and drills In Mauley's kit- When be tackles an acblng tooth he arms himself with a saw, a chisel, a hammer and plenty of ropo. You have to soe the two-foot forceps to understand the meaning of the rope. You have to see Manley, who isn't really a dentist, but head keeper at tho soo, at work on a three pound tooth to understand the mean ing of everything. The other day the ioo's big boa constrictor got the toothache. Manley decided the toolh would have to come out. One of his assistants threw a hood over the Bnake's^ head, and ten men pounced on the reptile's body. Tho big boa squirmed and wriggled. Its tongue shot out and in like light ning and the snake hissed and spat. The assistants tightened their grip, and Manley entered the snake' cage, his bands covered with a pair of thick leather gloves. Manley had no way of knowing which tooth ached, and he intended to take no chances. So be took a long piece of steel and began tapping all the teeth in tho snake's mouth. It didn't take long to find the sensi tive tooth. Manley placed a piece of burlap bag over the tooth and gave the bag a long pull. The tooth came out and another one with It. After the snake was placed back In its glass cage Manley, well satisfied with his work, told about some other big operation? he had performed. "Some time ago a hippopotamus broke a tooth," he said, "and we de cided to take out the piece that re mained in the animal's mouth. We threw the big ropes about the hippo and dragged It to the bars of the cage. There we pried open the animal's mouth and went to work with a pair of our lon? forceps, like you Bee there on the wall. "Those forceps are strong feno.ugh to pull a railroad splko, but we had to take three grips on that tooth before we could remove it. The piece weighed three pounds. That big hip po was so all-fired mad when wo had the tooth out, that he charged again and again against the cage bars with such force that several of them were loosened and bent. "Come out some time and watch us tackle a giraffe with a ladder. It's like fighting a third-story fire." ; "How do you handle an alligator?" he was aeked. "Excuse me," said Manley. "That's one animal I don't care to try." Modern and Ancient Literature. Modern literature, compared with ancient literature, is careless, slipshod, not wholly grown up; it has little sense of responsibility. t- The chief duty it sets before Itself is to hold the mirror up to nature and reflect the unintelligible happenings of life, In all their confusion, their inconsistency, their inanity. Ancient literature Vbb dominated by a very different purpose, it had a profound sentiment of high duty. The creation, so it seems to the ancients, had been left incomplete, and man, as the creature most divine, w&s charged with the labor of carrying on the uncompleted task. With bold hearts the Greeks set to work to piece out the incompleteness with literature, especially with poetry, to make up for the neglect of the gods by human achievement. I look on those ancient Greeks as I do workmen who fill in the marshy shallows of our river fronts, put oarth upon tho spongy ooze, sow grass, set out treos, plant flowers and create a garden tohero be fore was merely mud and slime. ?

When the client came round to set tle he refused to enter the office, but stood in the door, and, holding one end of the bill, unrolled the voluminous document in the direction of his legal adviser, with the request that ho would receipt it.
