Good, pay that down and the est on any kind of installments. Seo?' Mark Hartlett gazed admiringly and ongingly at the really handsome autonobile that a professional salesman lad Just driven into the farmyard. It iad of course been especially burnshed up for the occasion, but the nake was standard, and there was no loubt that the price named was exseedingly low. Nearly all the young farmer friends >f Mark had machines. Most of them vere courting, or engaged, Just as dark was to pretty Mary Dowe. Mark iad felt for some timo that it gave listtnetion to a man to own one of the landsome flyers, and show his adored no how fast it could run. In fact, he agent had appeared because Mark tad been making inquiries about a aachine. "Not now," finally decided Mark, is lips setting, resolutely as if it was tard work to sa> it. "Next season, naybc. Come and see me then." The agent got back into his mahlne and returned townwards disaplointed. Mark's uncle, sharpening a cytlie on a bench near by, looked up ,nd addressed his nephew. "Wanted it bad, didn't you, Mark?" te suggested. "I did that?for Mary's sake," reilied Mark, frankly, "and because I It Struck the Wagon. ec a good deal of pleasuro for a hard worker liko myself. It's better to rait, though," lie added consoliugly, hough with a sigh. "Think that, eh?" "Tell you, uncle," explained Mark; yesterday I would have taken the mahine, for 1 could pay half for it and ra not afraid that there will be no urplus when I get rid of my two rops this fall. You seo, though, our eighbor, .Mr. Warner, came to me his morning. His wife is very ill and he doctor says that all that will save er is an expensive operation in the lty. Poor Warner. He's in debt, the iank won't loan him and?well, I'm ;olng to let him have the money." "Why, Mark!" exclaimed his pruent, far-seeing uncle, "Warner is in pretty risky fix. He's got his place nortguged and can hardly pay tho in erest." "It's life or death to him," answerod lark. "If he never pays me, I shall ave the satisfaction of knowing 1 ried to help an honest worthy man in is darkest hour." "Good boy!" muttered the uncle, but o himself, as Mark turned away.

Hut Mary did not, A sensible, truly oving girl, she rewarded Mark with sweeter smile thai ever when he old her of his decision. "Why Mark," she cr!od brightly, and rtth a spice of mischief, "we can't sit a'.f as close together in one of tho^e ig, Rifruwling machines as in the ozy, comfortable farmSwngon! And don't care one bit Vtor whizzing hrough the air, and getting my hair ut of ordrt1, and scarn4l\to death at very narrow road. An#l you're to elp poor Mr. Warner?yo? d?r, good ellow!

In fact, Mary and Mark^^S In a measure Ignored by friends because they did not with the procession." _Ilut all this was ? '> r I turning rrom BoroSTTOWTftTBSlSKB^ i ing town, they let old Dobbin pick his | | way along the moonlit rlyor road, ' while the night birds lulled them to E | serenity in warbling harmony, and i the clear stars twinkled as it smiling i upon the happy, contented faces of the loyal pair. Then once, they came elong with t ! old Dobbin just in time to haul Nat f and Nellie back to town four miles to c have a broken steering gear fixed, and (at another time they pulled a touring c party of four friends out of a ditch and t won meok, shamed thanks from for* t ' mer deriders. I One afternoon old Dobbin was tak- c ing them over to Gayville, where a f county fair was in progress. There was a short cut possible by crossing j{ ! a narrow bridge, used rarely except g : by teams. At either approach the road j, curved, and it was customary for any- j | | one crossing in a vehicle to halt and e , see that tho way was cloar, as two r teams could not pass at one time on the bridge structure. t "Nothing coming. Get up, Dobbin," r ordered Mark, after peering ahead, but e no iiioy got. nan way up tno approacti ^ i a clatter caused him to turn the horse r , sharply, hoping to bo able to get out ? of the way. d "An automobllo!" exclaimed Mary 0 i in surpriso. t i "Jump!" suddenly shouted Ned. t i Ho spoke Just in time. Mary leaped c lightly to the ground and ran a few j, i yards down the side of the incline, g i Mark sprang to the head of the horse, y saw that he could not turn in time, , and also sprang out of the way. t Crash! u What happened came with the rapI idity of a swift movies picture. An , | automobile came flying dswn the ini cline. It held two men. As it struck , I the wagon it splintered It to a thousand pieces. Tho machine gave a lurch and threw one man over Into . | tho rivor. The other Jumped. As the F man in the water swam for the shore and the other made for some under- j brush. Mark saw half a dozen persons headed by the village marshal, come dashing over the bridge to the spot E where the disabled machine lay, a wreck. Old Dobbin was running affrighted in the direction of homo. The vehicle ha<l been torn bodily from him and he [. | was unhurt. Some of the newcomers started to j search for tho two men who had been I in tho automobile, but thev hnd dis- r appeared. A hurried voice informed , Mark that they had entered the bank u and had secured a portfolio containing t-1 over fifty thousand In bonds and bank ji notes at the point of their revolvers. "Is this it?" spoko the fluttering " tones of Mary, as she extended the C portfolio in question. It had fallen at r) her feet, flung from the grasp of the thief who held it when tho collision ^ came. If The president of the bank, coining rj up hatless and pale, grasped the hand a of Mark in wild fervor as he learned that the robbers had been baffled. ^ "Reckon I'll have to send in a bill ,J for that wrecked wagon," intimated j ] Mark. "We'll call it eighty dollars." I "We'll call it one thousand dollars, my friend!" suddenly shouted the 13 bank man. "Why, if those fellows had (j got away with all that money, how . gladly would we have paid five thou- 11 sand dollars for its return. You come e , right up to the bank and get your ^ j check." .. "Mary," whispered Mark, as quite willingly they followed tho banker. 13 hugging closely his recovered ? money?"we'll buy an auto for cash ., now?all cash!" a Work of Earthworm*. f( The soil in which plants take root w and grow is the product, not of inor- , ganlc disintegration, but of continual 1 tillage by innumerable minute organ- tl isms. C( 1 Attention was first called to the ^ work performed by earthworms in the J production of humus by Charles Dar- C< win in 1881. Darwin demonstrated that I ? ( \J earthworms regularly eat earth, as-1 aimilate the digestible organic conatl- 8| tuents and deposit the residue as excro- K ment in little heaps cn the ground. In 1 this way they Incessantly till the su- , perflcial stratum of soil and carry 1 downward stones and other coarse parts. All of the soil passes through their bodies every two years, and it is thus loosened, fertilized and preparod for the growth of plants better than IV 1 can be done by human agency. Earth- : worms improve the soil also by burying leaves, which rot and are then w eaten by the worms. (0 Hence earthworms are among the . ' most valuable of animals and they should never be killed, but their t; 1 enemies, moles, flold mice and the j large running beetles and millipedes, should bo destroyed. Control Torpedo by Electricity. ? The dirigible torpedo of a New York v inventor is propelled electrically, guided by a single insulated wire, and kept | at the required distance below the sur- j face by an automatic depth regulator. At the Will of the operator, a Jet of " water or a beam of light can be k thrown up from the torpedo. h 11 _ __ Q Hecommend For Croup 4 Coughs, colds, croup, hoarse- ness, inflamed throat., bronchil trouble? or sore chest are relieved by Foley's Honey and Tar which opens stopped a'r passages, heals fi and soothes 1 itbmod surfaces, t< and restores normal breathing. 1 .
