Tom got out of his car at the gate
land went up the gravel path to the
house. The great trees, arching overhead,
formed a roof of bright yellow
green. All around was spring, from
the white and pink orchard on the hillaide
to the robin's nest Indifferently
(hidden under the eaves of the bouse.
Just as he stepped on the porch the
front door opened and a girl came out.
Tom was very much surprised, lie
had hardly expected this. She was bis
next-door neighbor in the city, and
jthelr relations may be guessed from
rwhat followed. At first neither spoke.
Tom politely lifted his bat and the girl
raised her chin about two Inches.
Then the silence became embarrassing.
Tom asked: "Is Mrs. Caruthers
at home?"
"les, she is," answered the girl stlfifty.
"Do you think I could see her?"
"You probably could!"
' "I mean, may I see her?"
"I suppose you may. Will you come
In?"
"Oh, I'll just wait out here, thank
you," he said,
"Oh, Mrs. Caruthers," cried Edith,
rushing upstairs where an old lady
( was quietly knitting
"Yes, my dear! I see we have company.
I was just going down. Cnn't
you stay a few minutes longer? It's
early and?"
2 "No, I cnn't stay, thank you, but I
shouldn't If I could. I know who that
man Is, Mrs. Caruthers, and I want

Innd. I don't know what It Is, of
course, but T feel sure he's up to something:."
"How do you happen to know so
much about him, Edith?"
"They live next door to us In town,
and dad hud an awful time with them
about the line between the lots. Dad
had to take it to court and the Wilsons
acted awfully, mean about It."
"Hut why are you so hard on the
young man. dear? Perhaps, In fact
most likely, he had nothing to do
with It."
"It don't matter. I don't ever Intend
to have anything to do with any
of them. If I can help It, and I really
think you ought not to, either. You'll
see. He'll sell you bogus stock or
something. Hut I think I'll slip over
home the back way now. Do you care
If I go through the orchard and get
some blossoms?"
"Certainly not, dear; help yourself.
There! I must go down now and see
my visitor."
Edith could not reach many blossome
from the ground, so, since the
trunk of an apple tree was crooked and
bent, she crawled up Into the branches.
Then suddenly she realized that
someone was below and, looking down,
she recognized "that Wilson man." He
had f. spade and a box and was looking
cautiously in every direction?ex|
cept up. He didn't dream of her near!
ness, evidently.
"I knew it!" thought Edith, triumph'
antly. "I knew he wasn't here for anj
good. Now, what do you suppose it is?
money or the flat silver? He'll com<
back some night and dig It up. I'm sur<
; he has taken something!"
Tom began to dig?not very deep
but a little hole Just big enough for th<
box. Then he covered it over wltl
dirt and departed.
Edith waited until he had gone, nn<
tkujx forgetting her blossoms, allddci

maybe?or perhaps paper money.
"I'll go right down and tell Mrs. Ca- I

In and confront him with the evi- I
ilence." I
But Tom was already in the house. I
"I?I saw you burying this in the I
orchardv Mr. Wilson," said Edith, ac- I
cuslngly, coining into the living room I
with the box. She handed it to Mrs. I
Caruthers. I
"You open it, d?ar. I can't see very I
well." I
"Do you mind If?If I go out on the I
porch?" asked Tom. "It might be bet- H
ter for everybody." fl
"No. I think you'd better stay I

it and read:
"Dear Miss Edith: I saw you go up
Into the tree. I hope you won't come
down until I get this written and posted
(?) Grandma says you don't like
me. I knew It before. But we Wilsons
always get what we go after, and
I've made up my mind that I love you
and ain going to marry you. I hadn't
a chance In town with the families
scrapping, but with grandma on my
side we're going to do what we can to
get you.
"If you'll only give me a little hope
I'll see that the pater digs up the hedge
in town and gives yours the six inches.
Surely that is an inducement. For
further reference see grandma. Yours
devotedly, Thomas Caruthers Wilson."
Ituth had a sense of humor. She sat
down and laughed hysterically.
"I've fallen into my own trap," she
acknowledged ruefully. And then:
"What do you think of him, Mrs. Caruthers?
Do you advise me to tight
the case or give in at once?"
"Suit yourself, dear. But, remember,
the Wilsons never lose."

Troublesome.
Papua has long been known as a .
bloody land. It is a bloody land still, jl
But the blood of white men is rarely jl

last uiimmsiiing, says a wtiut in nar- |
per's Magazine. All this,being so, in;
ono year, nevertheless, whvi there j ^
we*? 215 prisoner? committed for tr!?1. j
11S of them were charged with murder, | *
nine with manslaughter and five with jj
.nti mpted murder. To the civilized ^
mh-d the motives to murder, shocking
enough, to be sure?nor wanting ar. *
a?:?:', of gruesome humor?are upon'
occasion incredible. As they are mat- j
ters of record, however*disclosed upon j ?
painstaking investigation, they are to j*
be accepted, not as irresponsible tales,,
such as wander about the eastern seas, j g
I but as substantial facts, however sin ?
gular and incomprehensible they inay
appear. It is a matter of court record,
for example, that certain natives of J1
what is called the coast range, being 1
| upon trial for the murder of two car 8
I riers, whose throats they had cut, ad- *
mitted the deed without the least heui- *
i tation, and sought to Justify the ghast- 8
ly business upon the ground that the ?
' carriers had appeared to be "cold and
hungry"?dejected fellows, far away
from their village. The prisoners had
not eaten the carriers. They had
j merely?with the most considerate exJ
pedltion?cut the throats of the carriers,
who were strangers, at any rate, I
and therefore of no groat consequence; |
and no ingenuity of cross-questioning
i could elicit a motive ulterior to the
'one so ingenuously advanced?that the
/carriers, appearing to be "cold and
hungry," were, in the opinion of the
gentlemen who had Incontinently cut
j their throats, much better dead. <
i A similar case of merciful exterml- *
nation concerned a young native, employed
to shoot game for a white
planter, who encountered a sick man
(Papuan) on the road, near by a river,
and strangled him to death. Upon
trial he explained that the sick man
| had created annoyance, and a consid- ,
erable embarrassment, as well, by in- '
, slstently requesting to be carried
across the river to the other side,
: when his way lay forward to his village.
! "Quite so," said the presiding offl- i
cer. "Why, then, didn't you carry him
across the river?"
I "He was too heavy," replied the na'
. tive. "It would have put me to a
I great deal of trouble."
"Why did you kill him?"
"What else could I do? The man
[ was sick."
' ! It was out of the question to endure
' , the labor of carrying the sick man
j across the river. It was equally out j
! : of the question to abandon the pitiable 1
31 object. Therefore the bewildered feli
low had strangled him?the most obvi.
1 oils way out of a dilemma which bade
!' fair to distress his feelings. I

The mysterious loss of gasoline,
'hich embarrassed the polar expedi- ti
ons of Scott and Amundsen, and ac
hich was the principal cause of the "]
isaster that befell the former, has'a|
een made the subject of investigation !|y
y several persons, and a very plaus- ' j
3le explanation is made by B. T.
irooks of the Mellon Institute of In- se
ustrial Research, in an article in Sci*
nee. He has observed that at low Ir*
emperatures ordinary tin is liable to
e converted into the allotropic form,
ray tin powder. This change takes nj
lace at a maximum rate at 48 degrdbs y
lentigrade, and may occur more slowy
at other temperatures below that
oint. Hard solder, which may con- .
ain 65 per cent tin, is subject to the
nme process of disintegration. Hence
he danger of leakage along the solder v>
earns of the container?a fact that w
liould be duly considered by future ii
