The hansom rolled slowly up the
avenue through the mellow sunshine
of the Indian summer afternoon. Its
sole occupant, a very broad shouldered
young man, leaned back on the cush
ions and smoked a contemplative ciga
rette, abstractedly watching through
half closed eyes the stream of traffic
whirling past.
He was a good natured. Indolent
looking young man, one of the kind
who very evidently enjoyed being at
ease. Yet in the dark eyes was a cer
tain light of determination, a certain
hint of Intent power that made one
quite Inclined to forgive his apparent
laziness.
Suddenly the young man sat erect.
He leaned far forward, peering intent
ly at a figure on the crowded side
walk. He watched It steadfastly for
a moment, while his Indolence fell
from him like a useless cloak, and bls
eyes opened wider and wider.
Impatiently he flicked the cigarette
to the pavement nnd stood up to open
the trap above bis head.
‘'Hl!” he called to the cabby. ‘‘l
say, there, pull up to the curb and set
me down, will you? And be quick
about It.”
The hansom swerved sharply and
drew up at the curb. The young man
scrambled out, quite forgetful of his
usual slow dignity in ids haste. Ila
thrust up a 1.111 to the cabby, and with
out waiting for his change he went
briskly up the avenue In pursuit of the
figure he had Just seen.
He elbowed his way along, now side
stepping some group which blocked
his headlong progress, now all lint
breaking Into a run in his eagerness.
Ahead of him he caught fleeting
glimpses of a large hat with a blue
feather that seemed to serve as a nec
essary Incentive to his hurrying steps.
When tie had almost reached it the
blue feather turned a corner Into a
quiet side street, and the young man
In hot pursuit followed after.
Here the sidewalks, being less crowd
ed, gave him better opportunity for
speed. In n moment he had overtaken
the blue feather and touched its wear
er lightly on the arm.
She turned, nnd her eyes rested on
him with a sudden eager light in them.
“Ted!" cried the girl happily. “Ted,
of all the people in the world!”
“You have led me • frightful chase,
•■gntty,” he panted, with mock severity.
she laughed. “How?”
•'I tyas In a hansom on the avenue,
nnd I Aaw you passing,” he explained.
“1 pullefd up and gave abase afoot.”
"Wha» are you doing here?" she de-
although her eyes told plainly
that she knew very answer to
her question. “And
anyway? Surely you are here
with horses this time of year. I diiTs t
suppose there was any (tower on eartll
that could drag a Northeroft from Vir
ginia at this sea-on.”
“A little clipping from a morning pa
per early in the week ts responsible for
my appearance,” said he. "It stated
that you and your mother had Just
returned from abroad.”
“Oh, really!” she mocked. “I suppose
I should feel vastly flattered to be able
to bring yon up here. Think of it!
The wild turkey shooting must be
something wonderful now, to say noth
ing of the Redfields hunt. They're rid
ing Just now, of course.”
“Yes. they're riding.” said he. “But
somehow it's pretty tame sport when
you're not along. Patty.”
She looked nt him suddenly, and a
fatnt red crept Into her cheeks. “Oh.
pshaw!” she laughed. “You Virginians
certainly know how to pny compli
ments, don't you?”
She said it lightly enough, but her
voice was not altogether steady. The
young man's sudden and unlooked for
appearance seemed to have discon
certed her somewhat.
"WeVirginlaiis," he repeated thought
fully. ' Teen you don't count yourself
one of us any longer, Patty?"
“Well. 1 fear I'm a bit weaned from
the old place.” she confessed. "You
see. since father died and we came
back here to live with my mother’s
people Pve been made to feel that I,
or a part of me at least, belongs up
here. Father was the Virginian, you
know.”
The young man stiffened. "You've
changed. Patty." ho said flatly and
with something like disappointment tn
hts voice. "You used to say that you
were Virginian to the backbone—that
there was no place on earth like It.”
“That was before I had seen the
other places.” said she.
"I see," said he, with a cartain odd
constraint, “of course.”
Bit by bit he drew out of her an ac
count of her travels and experiences
during the past three years. He lis
tened thoughtfully, but with clouding
lie observed at leng'h.

pain came Into the girl’s eyes. She
held out her band to stop him.
1 “Don't!” she said. "Don't! I can’t
' bear It.”
i Northcroft caught bis breath sharp
ly. “Eh? What’s this?” be cried,
rather dazed by this unexpected turn
1 of things.
> He looked at her more closely. He
saw that her eyes were moist. She
turned her bead sharply from him
1 and angrily brushed something from
i her cheek.
“I—l- suppose Pm ungrateful and
unappreciative and all that sort of
thing," she confessed lamely, “but, -
Ted, honestly, those very things you've I
just been saying I didn't care for are :
the very things I care for the most. |
Pm—l'm homesick, Ted; that’s the,
trouble—Just plain, honest, old sash- j
toned homesick. I’m tired of all this, j
I was never fitted for it.
“This life up here—the life they say
is eminently proper and fit for me—l
simply can’t stand. If you only knew
bow I longed to be bar k there—not for
a day, as we go now and then occa
sionally—but forever, you’d never chide
me again. You'd pity me Instead. I
try not to show it for mother’s rake,
but sometimes I can’t help it. I sup
pose it is my father's blood In my
veins. To him Virginia and paradise
were synonyms.”
Northcroft straightened himself.
When he was thoroughly aroused he
was n decidedly handsome man.
Ills brows were drawn together In
a little frown; there were lines about
the corners of his mouth. He was
enjoying the unaccustomed luxury of
thinking deeply.
Presently be turned to her. There
was a great light In his eyes.
“Patty,” he asked, “do you know why
I came up here?”
She shook her head.
"I came,” said he, “because ever
since you left I have not had a mo
ment's pence. You have dominated
every thought, every action, every mo
ment of my life. 1 couldn’t stand It
any longer. When I learned you were
back from abroad 1 came up here to
see you, to find you a changed and dif
ferent Patty, and by so doing to quiet
forever all the old uneasiness nnd un
rest. I thought you'd laugh at the old
lift' and make light of ft—that probably
you would have outgrown it and for
gotten it. Do you mean what you have
Just said?” he ended suddenly.
“Every word of It,” she said, with
emphasis.
“Dearie." he said gently, “why don’t
you come back to ft? Why don't you
marry me? We'll live on the old place
where the Northcrofts have lived ever
since Jamestown was built. We'll ride
with the Redfield crowd, nnd we'll have
a stableful of timber toppers that can't
be equaled In seven counties. We’ll”—
A light touch on his arm interrupted
blin. She was looking at him with ra
diant eyes.
“Ted, I will,” she said firmly. “When
can we go?”
“Tomorrow, the day after—any time,”
said he.
“Tomorrow? Ob, that’s ages In the
future. Today, Ted, today. We'll be
married this afternoon and start back
tonight. Call a cab. We must drive up
to the bouse and tell mother.”
The Workman and His Tools.
It Is related In “Voice and Violin”
that “a well known orchestral conduct
or was once much annoyed by the con-
TXant tuning of a violin, which contin
ual long after the musicians were at
their -desks, whereupon he remarked
rather sharply to a novice: ‘My dear
fellow, <Jb"picitse stop all that tuning!
You ought to be able to play in tune
when the strings'are not exactly cor
rect.’ ”
This calls to mind two occurrences
In Washington. On one occasion a cer
tain foreman ot binding in the govern
ment printing office was compelled to
call a bookbinder's attention to a poor
piece of workmanship. The binder
made some reference to his poor tools,
whereupon the foreman made the epi
grammatic remark that “a good work
man can do good work with any kind
of tools."
Not long ago the newspapers had a
story of a certain old darky whose
education was sadly neglected. He
was employed in a cigar store on Penn
sylvania avenue.
One day after finishing his chores the
proprietor and several others saw him
sitting on a box with a newspaper, ap
parently reading. The proprietor,
knowing that he could not read, said
to him:
“Why. Abe, where did you learn to
read? 1 didn't know you could read,
and, by the way, Abe. you’ve got the
paper upside down.”
"Dat’s all right, boss, dat’s all right.
A good reader can read mos’ any
ways.”

A TALE OF PATHOS.
Bainbridge.—There is a side to
the life and actions of A. D. :
Oliver, the “millionaire bank
president,” of Climax, that would'
be romatie were it not a tragedy. |
111, footsore and worn, he
sought admittance for lodging a'i
the Climax Hotel, Mrs. English,
proprietress, one day the first of
the year. It was a cold, dreary,
winter (lay, and the rain was fall
ing in fitful gusts. This kind
hearted woman could not refuse
although he stated he was penni
liim lodging and something to ea
less. About the cozy fire in the
hotel office were several commer
cial men when Oliver entered.
They protested, along with
regular guests of the house, at
this individual, whose appearance
was that of a tramp, being ad
mitted. Mrs. English’s benevo
lence won out, however,, and the
man was eared for thlat day, the
next and the next. He rapidly
regained his health. He brushed
up his clothes a bit, but he had
no baggage. He told the kind
hearted lady one day, after he
had been her guests for several
days, that he was enroute to Sa
vannah, where he expected to go
into business; that he was not as
”broke”as he appeared. and he
would certainly reward her moth
erly attention. This kind lady
induced him to go into business
in Climax.
Then the Climax operations
begun! Oliver induced a well
known man to go into the busi
ness with him.
He went further and began,
manipulations that were astonish
ing.
E-. erybody had confidence in
him. it appealed, ai.il he soon
handled money as it it grew or
trees. He began to dress better.
lli> was still a guest at the Eng
lish House. He bought lands,
automobiles, horses, turpentine
plants, saw mills, in fact, every
thing anybody had to sell. How
he managed to get the little cash
he paid down on transactions wa;
a mystery until his arrest a few
davs ago when it was found his
bank depositors hail furnished his
capital.
Soon after he began to buy
lands he commenced to pay court
to Miss Rosebud English, the
beautiful six teeny ear-old daugh
ter of the woman who took him
in when he was siek and without
money and friends. He lavished
; dimonds and other costly presents
'upon her. He took her driving
liehnxi the finest horses money
could buy. ' J
They were married a few j
weeks ago. He gave tier $5,000
iin cash and many costly gems as
wedding presents. He built the
'finest home in Climax and there
| could not be procured enough
finery tc furnish 1 it To this
' home he led the noble daughter
of a good woman.
The tragic part of the story
comes next. His wife stood by
her husband through' all „ his j
operations and believed him mas-|
ter of millions. Not until Oliver
saw he was trapped, and with an
automobile laden with gold and
silver and currency made his
flight with his young wife to the
railroad station did the young
wife learn th'e bitter deception.
Oliver was caught. His young,
broken-hearted wife was sent to

WESTON, Ocean-to-Ocean Walker,
Said recently: ‘‘When you feel
down and out, feel there is no use
living, just take your bad thoughts
with you and walk them off. Be
fore you have walked a mile things
will look rosier. Just try it.’’ Have
you noticed the increase in walking
of late in every community? Many
attribute it to the comfort which Al

der to be shaken into the shoes,
gives to the millions now using it.
