In the first place, her daughter wiin too young to make hii Intelligent choice of a husband; In tj^e second, she had not finished her education. When she was nineteen yearn old, having l>ecome enta/gled with three suitors. her mot hey-jK<Ko|v ed u I miii drastic measures. Tn? spring whs coming on, nml the good lady, dreading the ndv nutates that summer possessed for love affairs, resolved to take her daughter w Uei-e n man could not get near enough to fall In love with her. .Mrs. W'lhl had no confidence In any place of ahode that wan not laolated. A laud fortress would need a moat, which was Impracticable. No place would do unless surrounded by wa ter. So an Island It must be. In Caaco bay, on the Maine coast, are a number of islands. lu the center of one of these island* In a cottage. Mrs. Willi rented this cottage with a view to removing her family and servants t here. But. alas, It la difficult for wom en to get. on without men. Mrs. Wild dared, not live on the island without one. Resides, she needed one to run her motorlioat. There was another reason for a man's presence. Mrs. Wild desired to prevent any of her daugh ter's suitors from landing on her .re treat, nnd she needed some one strong enough to keep thepi off. Mrs. Wild advertised for a person to fill tills requirement. Several young inca answered her advertisement, but the lady did not engage any of them. She waited till an elderly one applied for the Job and engaged him. John I?oolan had white hair and a white beard. Hut he seemed to be tpilte strong mid said that he was per fcetly able to hold The dock against all" coiners. He went to t tie Island a couple of davjf "l?efore the family to make preparations. When they arriv al it 1 1 whs In order for their reception. As Mrs. Wild had anticipated, they had not been at their summer home long before one of Jeannette's suitors appeared lit the dock. He was refused a lahding by John Donlan. He sailed around to another part of the Island, but John was there with a gun to re ceive him. Mrs. Wild was so pleased with this action of John's that she gave him a five dollar gold piece. Soon after this another boat appeared, and a handsome young fellow In yachting costume was about to step out on to the landing when John ordered him off. He poked a card at his opposer. but John said that If he were the presi dent himself lie could not c?une ashore. Argument having failed, the visitor tried bribery. John proved incorrupti ble. There was nothing for the yachts man to do but sail away. Mrs. Wild, to whom John reported all these noble acts of defense, was de lighted. <>n several occasions lie brought the citnis that were given him to his mistress. Some of the men who had left, them she knew, and some were strangers to her. It made no dif ference who they were. She had de t?*tmincd to keep men away from her daughter for that summer, and. having sc'iired the services of a man who was capable and trustworthy, she gave her self no concern. She declared (lint it wa? the first summer she had felt easy about Jeannette since she was fourteen years old. But diit' day a thunderbolt caine out 1 of ii i lcar sky. The fond mother while taking a stroll over her island, walk Ing through a thick wood heard voices near her She listened and recognized Jeannette's voice. Then came a man's deeper tones. The latter sounded much j like John I)onlan. Could It l>e tliHt the flirt, deprived of association with men, had cast hrr tolls al>out the oUl servitor? The sus plcion brought a shock to the doting mother. * Advancing toward the sounds, she peeped through a break in the leaves, and there, sitting on a log with their backs to her, were John and Jeannetfe. John's arm around Jeannette's waist. Mrs. Wild tore through the' under brush like a fury. Hearing the noise of breaking brush behind them, the culprits Jumped to their feet, turned and confronted the angry mother. While she was delivering a tirade of reproaches John pulled off his white beard and stood revealed as the most 1 persistent of Jeannette's suitors. "Woe is me, Mrs. Wild," he said with head bent low. "I confess myself a great sinner. Jeannette wrote me that you were to remove her here, and I, seeing your advertisement for a de fender, applied for the place in the i uniform of a veteran. I have perform ed my duties to the best of my ability." "It's all right, mamma," pleaded Jeannette. "Your bringing me here JMft brought mo to a decision. I love j Jfthur and will marry no one else. Hla wooing has charmed roe." Hince Arthur was an eligible yonng man with a fortune Mrs. Wild made a j rlrtne of neceMsity, forgave them, and , CMMated to an early marriage. TRAPPED BY HI* BLIND RAGE.

"The wily natives of India hare ob served that trait in his character and from it have contrived a trap to catch htm. They select '? tree with a suitable horizontal hough. At a point on the i?oug h about ten or twelve feet from the fork they fasten a bait likely to at trait the bear? honey, for example, or goat's tlesh. Then from another Itough above that one they susj>end a heavy block of stone. The rope is ao attached to the up|H*r bough thut the stone hangs between th<* halt aud the fork of the tree. "The bear Brents the halt from a dls taiu'e, cornea to the tree, sees the food on the bough and climbs up the truuk of the tree, (teaching the bough, he walka akuig it to get at the bait Hut suddenly he notices the obstacle In the way and pushes It aside with his paw. The atone swings out of the way for a second, then tt swings back and hits j the l>ear on the paw. With a growl of 1 irritation the bear pushea It aalde more violently. The stone swinga away again; then It returns with greater force and hits the bear on the chest "With a snarl of rage the bear gives the stone n tremendous thrust and { sends it up into the air In a wide cane. Then down comes the stone in a similar curve and hits the bear a thumping whack on the ribs. "Moat animals would desist after that third blow; not so the bear. Hie is now hi a perfectly mad rage, and a bear is a good boxer. He hits out with hla paws right aud left and sends the stone hurtling forward In a still wider curve. Then after a few seconds the stone comes back and hits the bear a terrific 'uppercut' 011 the Jaw. "The bear Is roused to white hot fury. He thinks an enemy is hiding behind the stone? as an enemy might do In the jungle? and he is determined to reach that enemy. "But. alas, the l>enr never went to school and learned the law of gravity! Every blow he hits the stone is re turned tenfold. And as the stone has no brains to be knocked out It Is the bear that gets knocked out at last He will never, never give In until he Is knocked out? of the tree* "Then the wily natives hiding below rush In with a net and throw it quick ly over him. "And that Is how many menageries and zoos get their Himalayan bear." j Why Not ? Garden P00I7 , Jfr As 'to the garden pool ? WhJ^*not nave one?
