Sold Hogs by Telephone
I A South Carolina farmer had a large number
of hogs which were ready to kill. - The weather
was so warm that killing was out of the question.
He went to his telephone, called a dealer in
Columbia over Long Distance and sold his hogs
at a good price. He then called the local freight
office and arranged for shipment.
The telephone is now a necessity on the farm.
You can have one on your farm at small cost

I was dressing for dinner one even
ing when the telephone bell rang.
Stepping tx> the Instrument, 1 heard a
very sweet feminine voice say:
"Is that you. Mr. Pemberton T"
"Yes, I’m Pemberton.”
"You’re to be at the corner of Eighth
anid Walnut this evening at 9. Take
the cab yon will And there and”—
"Who are you?” I asked, not under
standing all this talk.
*Tm Effle Strong. You will be driv
en to the park entrance. Go to the
fountain, where you will find Edith.
Carry a rose in— Qh, heavens, some
one is coming!”
There was a click and that was the
end of these remarkable Instructions
It was evident that there had been a
call for some one bearing my name,
and the telephone girl or the person
calling or some one bad made a mis
take.
Now, I would not on any account
take advantage of such a blunder to
gratify curiosity, pry into other peo
ple’s affairs or for any other purpose.
But I felt it Incumbent on me to cor
rect the error if possible. This other
Pemberton would not get the message
intended for him, the driver of the
cab might wait all night on his box,
and Effle might grow so desperate as
to drown herself In the fountain. It
behooved me to set matters right
.1 called up the telephone office and
asked who had given me the last call.
I might as well have asked the op
erator to tell me how many grains
there are on an ear of corn. I look
ed In the directory for the name Pem
berton, but mine was the only one
there. ^
There was nothing for it but that I
should go to the corner of Eighth and
Walnut street*, take the cab, proceed
to the fountain and tell Edith that site
needn't wait any longer because the
real—her real—Pemberton had nor
f been Informed of the meeting.
I confess I was somewhat cartons to
know why a conveyance had been pro
vided and what was to be tbs upshot
of the business. But I resolved sim
ply to state that a mistake had been
made and ask no questions. I thought
it necessary to carry a rose in order
that 1 should be recognised for the
other fellow or I might as well stay
away. 8o on my way to the place
where I should meet the carriage 1
stopped at a flower shop and bought
one. The cab waa in position, and 1
opened the door. The driver asked if
I waa Mr. Pemberton, and I told him
that I waa. Then be drove me to the
park. I alighted and went up the
walk to the fountain.
Two girls were standing looking at
the dripping water, and one of them
on aeeing the rose In my band left
her friend and made straight for me.
“I have come to tell you,” I said, rais
ing my hat “that there has been a
mistake.”
“Good gracious! What’s gone wrong!’
Is It all off?”
“A telephone message came to me
this afternoon from a lady whom 1
don’t know.”
“Certainly you don’t know her. You
are not expected to know her.”
“You see. I’m not—that Is. there’s
only one person of my name In the
telephone book”—
"You’re Mr. Pendleton, aren't you?”
"Certainly I’m Pendleton. Thehi’s
no doubt about that but”—
“Come! Let us hurry. We’ll be too
late. Maud told me that If I failed her
it would break her all up; she wouldn’t
be able to get through with It”
If this young woman had been a
scarecrow or suspicious looking I
might have attempted further explana
tion. But she was as pretty as a
peach, and if she wouldn’t give me a
chance it seemed to me that I was
excusable for letting her have her way.
Putting her arm through mine, she
hurried me to the cab. We got in.
and the cabman drove away without
any instructions. I presumed be bad
been given them before.
“Now I’ll explain.” said my kidnap
er. “You see, Maud Farnsworth and
Ned Blgles have been dead In love
with each other for a long while.
Maud’s parents think they know bet
ter whom Maud wants to marry than
she does herself. She and Ned are to
be married secretly, alJ d you and I are
to be the witnesses."
“Oh! That’s alir
“That’s all! Why, isn’t that a good
deal?” *
“But please tell me what I have to
do with It”
“Why, Maud has made all the ar
rangements. She asked me whom 1
would like to take me to .the parsonage,
and I said it didn’t matter to me; she
might find some one herself. She said
she would and made all the arrange
ments.”
I leaned back on the cushion and
chuckled. . _ "
“What amuses your* asked my com
panion. 1 ~
“I tried to tell you that a mistake
baa been made, but you wouldn’t listen
to me I am pleased to learn that no
harm has been done On the contrary,
I have made a very pleasant ac
quaintance” , .
I told her the whole story, at which
she was greatly amused, remarking
that It was a good Joke on Maod. At
the parsonage Maud started on seeing
a stranger in me but at J was only in-
wwhtiwtw
orach rattled at, the step she was tak
ing she said nothing.
And that’s how I met the gtri I man
