"No, 1 can't wear elbow sleeves for
weeks, nnd you know how I hate long
ones." sighed young Mrs. Martin, as
she rubbed her bandaged forearm care-
fully "Harry says I ought to thank
my protecting gods that I am not wear-
ing splints for every bone, and I sup-
pose 1 ought. But the burglar was a
big man—so they told us afterward—
and why couldn't I manage a transom
with all my basket-ball training as well
as he?"
"But do tell me what It Is all about,"
said her friend, as she dropped a
bunch of sweet peas into a delicate
vase and filled it with water. "Your
husband phoned me this morning, ask-
ing that I run over to see you, as your
uncle had gone and you were laid up
with a game arm. That's all I know.
What about the burglar? You haven't
had another?"
"No, dear, not another," answered
Miss Martin. "What loves of tiowers!
Mow sweet of you to bring them! It
is the same old burglar that we had
two months ago and uncle John who
are to blame for all this. Only uncle
John did not mean it.
"Harry, you see, called me up late
Thursday after Hilda had left for the
afternoon to tell about uncle John's
telegram. He was coming that night
and Harry ^aid he would brins him out
if I said so—and of course I did—
for dinner.
"Sudden things always stir me up
dreadfully and 1 flow around for two
hours, getting things ready, till my
head swims even yet.
"I set the table and managed every-
thing down to the salad before any-
thing went wrong. The lettuce the
grocer had sent was wilted and old
and impossible. There was nothing to
do but go out for more, for It was too
late to trust to an order by telephone
So I went in a rush. I had to go to
two places before 1 found any lettuce
| that would do, and finally I got back
to find that I had left my key inside.
I all but screamed then, for I knew
how hopeless It was to look for a janl-
| tor on Thursday afternoon. But I be-
gan the hunt—going into strange base-
ments that proved as dark and empty
I as tombs.
"1 was ail but desperate when I
j thought of the burglar—our burglar.
He had entered through the transom
! over the kitchen door, you know, be-
cause our stepladder was on the back
| porch and handy. The transom was
open, I knew, so finally I hurried home
and up the back stairs to our floor.
Hilda had been washing the windows
and had left the ladder out there,
though 1 had told her repeatedly never
to do it a^ain. So 1 blessed her for
her disobedience and climbed the lad-
der The transom was only half-open,
Liu 1 pushed it up flat and looked in.
"It was dusk by this time, and 1
could all but see Harry and uncle
John on their way home. And no
salad! Far down the hall I could see
our little dog, Togo. He began to bark
wildly. That made me laugh, and I
saw humor in the situation for the
i tirst time. Here was I, experiencing
j just what the burglar must have felt
when lie heard Togo bark—for I am
! sure Togo barked at the burglar,
j "I slipped into the opening easily
and drew my feet off the ladder. Just
then the front doorbell rang. I knew
It must be Harry with uncle John, and
the house was dark and there was no
one to welcome them. So 1 shut my
eye and jumped.
"I can't for the life of me tell you
what happened, but the transom
crashed down with me, my foot
slipped from the door knob when I
i stepped on it and all of us crashed
dovs n together—for Togo met me at
the bottom, having bravely advanced
i to the attack. With the awful noise
i of breaking glass and barking dog, the
I front door flew ouen and in carno

larry. He thought It was the bur
glut' again!
| "He rushed In. saying, tauntingly:
I "So you thought you'd come back and
finish the job? Well, you're caught
| with the goods this time!' And he
j flashed on a light.
| Well, whenever I think of my state
| of mind at that moment I realize what
crazy people feel like Just before they
I forget their egos In the general chat-
! tor that followed 1 learned that uncle
| John wouldn't get here till the next
: day; that Harry had tried to reach
| rae by phone and had come home
early when he couldn't reach me. I
kept telling him about the lettuce that
I had left on the stepladder.
"But what really hurts worse than
my arm is the fact that all of It was
useless.
"Ill the first burst of coherent talk
Hnrry a=ked: 'Why didn't you go back
wlu n you heard my ring and knew 1
had a key? Though, after all, you
dldln't need one. The noise of the fall
scared the w its out of me and I flun?
open the door without even trying to
find my key. Did you slip the latch,
or what was the matter?'
"Then I remembered that I did slip
the latch off when 1 went out. because
I knew the key was in the finger of
my gray g'oves. nnd I didn't have time
to stop and find it."

THREE PARTS OF ENGLAND
Region of Great Industries, Small
Factories an'l Cathedral Towns
Ai e Noted.
England, as every attentive observer
has noted, falls roughly Into three
parts. North of a line drawn from
the Dee to the Humber there Is the
England which is almost as new as
America, the England of coal and iron,
cotton and wool, the England of great
mills and mines and of industry on the
immense scale. That is the England,
the capitals of which are Manchester,
Sheffield, Leeds and Bradford, the
cities whose names stand throughout
the world for modern English manu-
facturing supremacy and commercial
enterprises, and this England has pro-
nounced decisively for the govern
ment. for free trade and, above all, for
democracy.
Just to the south of the line there
Is the midlands, the region of which
Birmingham is the capital, the region
in which industry is carried on for the
most part in small factories by strug-
gling employers. That England has
on the whole, gone against the govern-
ment.
Finally, there is the south, thr
feudal England, the region character
Ized by cathedral cities, small market
towns and rather decayed residential
boroughs.
In size of population. In wealth. In
industrial significance, and In virility
the urban north as unquestionably out
weighs the urban midlands and the
urban south as it has unquestionably
given its verdict fov the cause of
progress
Georgian's Hard Luck Story.
His horse went dead and his mule
went lame and he lost six cows In a
poker game; then a hurricane came
on a summer's day and blew the
house where he lived away, and the
earthquake came when that was gone
and swallowed the land that the house
was on; then the tax collector came
around and charged him up with the
hole in the ground.—Upson ParroL
Too Much Impressed.
A throat specialist in Bethany, ac
cording to the Clipper, used a laryn-
goscope on a nervous woman patient
and remarked: "You would be sur-
prised to know how far we can see
with this instrument." As he was
about to place the Instrument in ner
throat she apologized for a bole in her
stocking.—Atlanta Constitution.
At Least.
"It's funny how women like to at-
tend weddings."
"Do they?"
"Don't they?"
"1 expect that each woman likes ts
attend at least one."
Reciprocity with Canda was the slo-
gan of the 600 excusionists who left
Detroit on the steamer City of Cleve-
land on the annual cruiBe of the De-
troit Board of Comnierc.
Prohibition was retained in Henry
county, Missouri, outside of Clinton,
by a majority of nearly 1,200 votes in
the local option election. The wets
called the election.
The first wheat was cut in Kansas
on a farm near Junction City. Some
wheat in that vicinity is said to be
over-ripe. Bottom land will yield
about 30 bushels to the acre and up-
land 20.
