Antiquated, narrow-minded Simon
Barclay had invented a new nemo

Kedfern. He hated all innovation*,
sspc-cially a telephone. There was a

tlowly in the purchase of a piece of

nr had got to a telephone and out-

hat, and Ned Monroe in the bargain,
or was not that energetic young man

Ilclty moped around the honse all

tul loved a bright intelligent yourfg
ellow, it v as the. As to Ned, she
mew that she was to him as the
ipple of UiH eye. She dreaded meot-

so she had made to her uncle that

For three consecutive evenings Het- |

road. Her uncle supposed she was go-

ticed him standing at the door of the
house the last evening of the three,
Hatching her Jill she was out of sight.
She made a cautious detour to reach
the old tree.
The fourth evening Hetty did not
start away until she saw Mr. Barclay
busy in what he called his little of-
fice, looking over his business papers.
U was quite dusk by tbe time she
reached Her-destination.
She had climbed into the tree and
nnd herself comfortably disposed,
when she was startled by a low quick j
whistle. A man came over the fence,
rough looking and sinister. He stood |
directly beneath her leafy shelter.
It was he who had uttered the
whistle and In a few moments a com
rude of the same type slouched into
view.

Ned caine spinning along on his
ilcyclc, not a moment late, a fine
; -peelmen of a healthy, buoyant
oung man interested and happy in
! lis work He swung :*• coll of wire
' Hid his tool hag to the road and was
•ver the fence in a joyous leap.
J "Dear girl!” ha said fondly, and
; hen started at Hetty In alarm, fbr
! ihe was weeping.
j Bit by bit the miserable story came
! >ut. He consoled her, ho reiterated
tls love. He said nothing of reveuge,
dopeinont or discouragement.
"Littlo lady.” he observed In bia
srpeful sanguine way. "all right! If I
ain't sec you. I ten keep on loving
f»u. can't IT"
“Yes, yes," murmured Hetty bro-
tenly, “but I shan't hear—those- iov-
ug words! Why, nor to have "you tell
ue how you think of me every day—”
"Hut you shall.” announced Ned
lefinitely ’ You have agreed not to
write to me. Don't. You have proni-
pbone.
"X-X"—oh. quick, please!
she breathed frantically.
And then as tho connoclion
tiade: "Oh, Ned! come quick,
help. There are two burglars
who are going to rob uncle!"
"Will they never come?” she erled, '
itaiMing out in the road and looking ,
i townwards. Then her heart took
j hope: Two distant sparks grew j
: brighter, tho lamps of a speeding
' sutomohllo. Then she could hear the
j .hug-chug of Ihe Hying machine. She
: ran out into the roa<f and wared her
[ neck scarf.
Two town officers accompanied her
.over. One guarded tbe front door of
the house as they reached IL Ned
and the other man went around to the
perch that opened into the office of
old Simon.
"Just in time!” announced Ned. and
ae and the officer sprang Into the
room. One of the burglars was guard-
ing their victim with a revolver. The
other had just lifted his strong box j
from the safe.
The officers departed' with their
prisoners. Ned explained.
“A telephone did it?” muttered old
Simon, closely hugging his treasure
box. “Hut fo» that—Join hands!" he ,
raid abruptly. "I’m converted, Hetty, j

And so love- by telephone led to
