i All Dated Dock to the Foolish Idea
He Had That Hia Wife Would Not
Have Her Own Way
In the End.
"What do you do, Cnlch," Obtul
l i uuncy demanded anxiously of Mr
I'caslee, whom lit* found sitting under
t lit* tiliado of tin* big maple tree ill
front of his house, "when you think
om* way u nd your wife thinks another
about anything?"
"Well, In ii case like that." replied
Caleb, pursing his lips Judicially, "we
commonly split the dlff'renee- ? and I
tome round to her way of thinking
I've found out I get 'long easier that
way."
Mr. Uuiiuey pondered this deject
wily.
"I H'poxe you're right," he agreed at
Inst. "1 didn't know but what you'll
studied out some way of gettln' round
'??in and havln' your own way part of
thi? time."
"You ain't the first married man
that's tried that," returned Caleb, with
a suspicion of Irony In his voice
"What's the matter now? You'n Mis'
Ounney been bavin' a dlffrence of
opinion?"
Obed slowly polished the back of one
hand with the palm of the other and
gazed moodily at the ground. ^
"Well." he replied at last, "we bad
some talk a day or ho ago 'bout gettln'
the buggy painted."
"Well," prompted Caleb n little Im
patiently, "what about It?"
Obed roused himself. "I'd kind of
got my mind on the color I wanted it.
but I hadn't gono so far as to tell her
'bout It," he explained. "I thought
perhaps I wouldn't I thought some
day when I wa'n't busy I'd haul the
buggy down to Dan Noble's paint shop
and set him to work on it ? tell him to
paint the runnln' gear either red or
yaller and the body a real dark blue."
Caleb stifled something that might
have been either a laugh or a cough.
"It'll look kind of gay. won't it, when
you get It done?" he asked.
"I d'know ? mebbe It would have,"
Obed conceded, "but it didn't get as
far as that."
"I flggered," Obed went on, "that
mebbe 'twould be as well If I didn't
take my wife to Bangor with me when
I bought the paint ; so I went out and
dug some of my early p'taters to haul
In ? I knew she wouldn't ride In on no
p'tater wagon. The p'taters wa'n't
much mor'n half growed and they
didn't fetch much more'n half price,
hut I fingered I c'd afford to lose a lit
tle somethln' on the p'taters for the
sake of gettln' the kind of paint I
wanted 'thout havln' to argue.
"It took me some time to get rid of
my p'taters, and, as a matter of fact, I
lost more on 'em than I had to pay for
the paint, and that galled me some.
When I got home I Kot the paint on
loaded ofT'n the wagon 'fore she got
out to the barn ? she most always
comes out to see If I've forgot any
thing she's sent for. I?ut I hadn't for
got anything, for a wonder, so that
pnrt was all right.
"Come mornin', I went out to the
carriage house to get out the bugjr.v i
and haul It down to Noble's ? and. Ca
leb. there wa'n't a sign of a huggy
there! I couldn't understand It. and I
went Into the house to ask 'bout it.
She was workln* at the sink, and she i
never even turned round when I asked ,
her where the buggy was.
i "'The buggy's down to Dan Noble's
i brin' painted!' she snaps, and I b'lieve j
I heard my jaw click when it dropped 1
open.
"'Well, good laud!' says I. 'Then'
what In tunket am I goln' to do with
all the paint I bought?'
?"You never snid anything to me |
*hout huyln' any paint.' she says, kind
of short. 'What color did you get?':
And then I had to tell her.
" 'Well,' says she. 'you c'n do any- '
thing you're a-mlnd to with It. It
wouldn't have gone on to that huggvv, I
anyway. I c'n see through you like su !
much sunshine,' she says, 'and I knew I
a week ago what you was caliatiu' to,
do. So yesterday,' says she. 'I had
Man Noble come up here and get that ;
buggy, and by this time he's got the!
fust coat on to It ? and It's black paint.;
too. You can do what you like with
them fancy colors <?f yours,' she sav*.
"So the upshot Is, I've 4tag a I < ?; i ? 1
<>f p'taters and ac^d. Jrtu for feulf prDv, ;
arn! l\e got'T\ytrVaiis ?*>f paint that I
d'know's I can sell at all, and I lost
m> day's work ? and I ain't goin' to ?
have the buggy painted the way 1
want It, after all.
"I iruess your way's 'bout as good
as any." obed concluded resignedly. ? '

Dream Reveals Hiding Place.
William Ilell of Brlckervllle, Pa., as- |
sen s that a dream revealed to him :
the hiding place of a can of gold, the j
property of John Belleman, his prede- j
eessor on the farm. Belleman did not
believe In banks, and aeoreted his '
money. He died suddenly and did not
reveal even to his wife where he had :
It secreted. Hell's atpry Is that he j
had n dream that he was digging for ,
Belleman's money in the haymow <.f
the barn. He was about to give uft
the task when the spirit of Belleman
appeared and commanded him to dig
on. The next morning he went to the
haymow, dug undor the hay and found
a tin box. He took It to the home
of Mrs. Belleman, who counted the
contents, $5,000 In gold, *nd Hell was
handsomely rewarded.
THE LOST PIN
By SHIRLEY MOHKItt.
(Copy rlf M. I9i?. by th? Manure k?w?-.,
imprr HyndU-uto.)
The girl*. six of thera, looked cau~
ttoutily tip Mint down tho squalid
little street before venturing forth.
The house t lioy wore leaving bore on
u door plate the portentious words,
"M iue, Cecils. Psychologist. Your Fu
ture l'Y?<rtold,"
"Wasn't It a lark!" cried Catherine
Harr. ' I'm terribly anxious to know
who tho light-haired Adonis Is I am
to moot this summer, and, Peggy,
wasn't It wonderful what she tofcl you
about the pin you got for ICaster, and
how you'd lose It and have It returnou
by our future husband-?"
"Yes." shivered Peggy. "1 can't
get over It. While she wan describing
It I felt as though her eyes wore look
ing clear through me. You soe, 1
have It on. pinned to my waist. '
? The crowd separated.
"Come along with me. Lois,'' beggod
Peggy I have to stop In Tukif's to
see about a braBB candlestick for
mother."
"1 can't today, dear! I'vo got to
dress and go to CJrayatono'H to tea."
Tukif's seemed to be deserted, but
finally an old man appeared, and after
Poggv stated her errand, ho retreat
ed Into the mysterious region in the
rear of the storo from which ho had
omerged.
Peggy, still feeling uncanny from
her recent experience, had a sensa
tion of unreality among the as
semblage of ancient and oriental cu
rios. She came to an old mirror and
stopped, regarding herself Intently.
"You big goose!" she said to the re
flection in the glass, "to believe in
such nonsonse as that old faker told
you! Tako a long walk before you
go home, and get It all out of your
system."
Sho drew the pins out of her sailor
hal and startod to gather in some of
the stray wisps of hair.
The street door opened and a man
came in. looking around hurriedly
for a salesman, he saw nobody at first,
then, spying a girl in n recess pat
ting her hair, he gave a curt order:
"Please tell Mr. Tuklf to deliver the
lamp I ordered to this address." He
held out a card and Peggy took it
impassively. Of course he thought
her a saleswoman, but what difference
did it make.
The customer turned to leave, but
he hesitated, and looked deep Into the
serious blue eyes. The eyes returned
the look calmly and coolly.
There was no excuse for staying,
so he went, but, pas^pg the chair in
which Peggy had b?n sitting, he
stopped and picked up something.
Peggy looked at the card and read:
"Mr, Cyrus Harding ? Riverside drive."
The old man returned Just then.
Peggy delivered the card and mes
sage, completed the business upon
which she had come and left the store.
Outside, she slipped her" hand under
her Jacket to reassure herself that her
new dihmond pin was safe. Hut to
her dismay it was gone.
Then it popped into her head that
the customer who gave her the mes
sage had picked something up and
put it into his pocket.
She hurried out and called a taxi.
At the Riverside drive house, a Jap
anese servant answered her ring. Mr.
Harding had Just returned.
She was ushered into a sitting room,
a wonderful combination of black, old
gold and blue.
And then Mr. Harding pulled aside
a portiere and stepped into tho room.
He recognized her instantly, but if
he was surprised he gave no sign.
"How do you do?" he said courte
ously ? interrogatively, for her visit
puzzled him.
"Good afternoon," choked Peggy.
"I've ? -I've come for the pin you
found," with a little deprecating ges
ture.
"Pin?"
"Yes. The pin you picked up in
the shop.'
He frowned. "I don't seem to un
derstand. I didn't find a pin."
"But you picked up something.
Don't you remember ? right in front of
that teak wood chair!" earnestly.
"Yes, I see now. But I didn't know
you wanted it so much or I should
have returned it. I really didn't think
it so very valuable and ? 1 wanted it.
No matter why! I didn't know what
you meant when you spoke of a pin.
I would have given it another name.
Here- it is!"
His hand went into his pocket and
he held out a tiny tortoise shell comb,
the male of one in her hair.
Peggy flushed furiously.
"Is that what you found?"
"Yes. Isn't it what you came for?"
"No! You see ? I ? I lost a pin, a
diamond pin today. I don't work in
the store. You made a mistake. I
was In seeing about a candlestick, and
I lost my pin. Then I remembered
seeing you flnd something, and re
calling your address, I came right
away. I am very sorry and 1 beg your
pardon. Good afternoon."
"But," ho intercepted hastily. "I'd
like to help you flnd your pin! You're
sure It's gone!"
"Why. yes! I think I am," running
an Investigating hand over her waist.
Then something dropped to the rug,
and Cyrus Harding picked it up.
"The pin," cried Peggy with delight
"What a goose I've been."
"A rery charming goose, whose mis
fortune haa been my gain."
And mm it turned out the fortune tell
er wm rl*ht, for Peggy did1 marry the
man who returned her pin.
