CHAPTER XXVI-Contlnutd
"Mother helped take care of Mr
Carney air and waabed hia thing nd
the bandages he used and when we
had to go to the cellar to stay aa we
did when you came fearin’ aa you
might aee ua at the bouae Mr Jenka
would get the tblnga for her when
we’d leave 'm In the path We el way a
bad enough to eat atored away for
auch tlmea and we could get water
from the liver but aometlme we had
to aend tblnga to mother and ao Mr
Jenka would take them He didn’t
know we were here at all air but be
want to marry mother you know and
ao he’d do whatever ahe told him
without aaklng any questions
"Wss It Jenka who told you when I
cabled to Europe?" I aaked "You
muat have known of It very aoon to
have answered It so promptly”
"Tee sir” replied Uobbe "You see
sir he’s at the station every day and
a message to England made such a
sensation that they were all talking of
It air When I told Mr Carney about
It air he said I should answer It aa I
did ao I wrote at once to my cousin
In New York who’d been attending to
the letters for us sir when they ware
sent on from London"
"How did you make the gboata ap-
8 he Nestled
"They
pear so well Dobbs?" I asked
seemed to fairly float In the air"
"Oh that was this way sir" said
Dobbs "When Mr Carney got so that
he couldn’t walk on account of his
feet being so bad sir be got some of
those cycle skates with the big rubber
wheels and we used to exercise with
’em at night on the paths sir They'd
go right over the leaves and grass
too If It was pretty sharp down hill —
we always went to the river sir when
we were trying to get away so that
we could dive Into the mouth of the
old tunnel If need be We never bad
to do It but once That was the time
you and the other gentleman first saw
us sir Most generally the folks would
be so frightened that they would run
and then we could drop behind a bush
and take off the sheeta like we did
the night you had mother and Mr
Jenks down by the path sir"
"Dut about the notes and the cigar
case Dobbs? How did you manage
that?" I asked
llobbs tearfully produced s small
monkey not much larger than a kit-
ten from one of bis pockets and
stroking the little animal affectionate-
ly be said with emotion:
"H was Chico sir Mr Carney
brought him for a pet and be Is almost
human sir and will do anything you
tell him He's so sly sir that he can
pick your pocket In broad daylight sir
and you’ll never find blm out I don’t
know about the cigar case sir but the
day after you cam last summer he
of f
WCM0FT
gnt away and muat have been In the
library where you and the other gen-
tleman were looking for something
After you’d gone to the village air
1 found him under one of the big
chairs clinging to the bottom and
scared half out of hta wlta aa he al-
ways Is after he’s been playing pranks
You see" he explained ‘J had a key
to the kitchen door and could get In
and out aa I pleased until you had the
new locks put on"
"Dobbs" I said raising from my
seat "I want to ask you one more
question before you go Do you re-
member the first note that you sent
me? The one Cblco brought when he
climbed up the Ivy Into my window
last summer?"
"Yes sir" said Dobbs briefly
"Well how did you happen to say
what you did In that note?” I asked
"Mr Carney told me to say It of
course air" replied Dobbs
"Do you know why be did so?" I
continued
"Yes air" said Dobbs "I waa In
the house watching you the day you
came air and when you picked up
that glove of Miss Carney’s and kissed
It sir I told him of It Then he said I
should write the note aa I did air and
that you’d make a good husband for
y
In My Arms
her and he hoped you would marry
her sir"
"That will do Dobbs" I said "Good
night my boy I hope you'll get some
sleep"
1 sat down once more by the dimly
burning lamp and taking the glove
from my pocket I kissed It gently
again and again A alight sound
caused me to raise my eyes and I saw
Florence Carney standing with out-
stretched bands In the shadow of on
of the bookcases I sprang toward her
and sobbing softly she nestled In my
arms with hers entwined about my
neck
The only guest at my bachelor din-
ner on the eve of my marriage was
MacArdel and as we were sipping our
coffee he exclaimed:
"Dy the way Ware you owe me
this dinner You remember our little
wager last summer don’t you?"
"I remember It very well Indeed" I
replied with a smile "but It hasn't
been decided In full You don't know
It old man but 1 haven't proposed to
her yet" and we tossed a coin for the
bill

WHAT THEY MEAN TO THE PEO-
PLE OP THE COMMUNITY
AND HOW THEY ARE BUILT
It Is the Money That 8tays at Home
Which Makes Good Ones Possible
—A Simple System That
Works
Your scboolhouses Those of the
town and those of the country dis-
tricts You know what they mean to
you and (o your children
They represent the difference be-
tween Ignorance and enlightenment
They mean to your children the differ-
ence between signing their names
with a mark or In writing They
represent the difference between the
civilization of the twentieth century
aa this country knows It and the bar-
barism of benighted Asia or Africa
You want the schoolbouse do you
not?
You would willingly make sacrifices
to keep It would you not?
You glory In the free educational
system of this country do you not?
Dut Mr Citizen did you ever alt
down and consider carefully what
It Is that makes possible the school-
houses of this country the school-
houses that stand as beacon lights on
the tops of a thousand bills the
scboolhouses that carry cheer and en-
lightenment to the hearthstones of
the homes of a thousand valleys?
It Is the taxes that you and your
neighbor and your neighbor’s neigh-
bor pay Into the school fund year after
year la It not?
And why do you pay It?
Decause you own property — real es-
tate bonds and mortgage — and be-
cause that property la valuable
What make your real estate val-
uable? It Is the prosperity of the commu-
nity Aa the community grow and
prospers the value of your property
Increases As your proierty Increases
In value and you write your wealth
in thousands Instead of hundreds the
amount you pay Into the school fund
Increases When the school fund In-
creases the old building gives place to
a new and more modern structure In
which your children and your neigh-
bor’s children secure their Instruc-
tion And again the erection of the
new building but adds more to the
value of your property
It Is an endless chain system that
builds villages out of cross roads
and cities out of villages
Who are you Mr Citizen and who
Is your neighbor and your neighbor’s
neighbor whose contributions to the
school fund make the schoolhouses
possible? You and your neighbor
and your neighbor's neighbor are the
farmers the merchants the doctors
the blacksmiths You are each and
every man who go to make up the
community In which you live and It Is
only when you work collectively that
you accomplish results— that you build
np new schoolhouses
And how shall you work collec-
tively? Dy a simple system of boosting one
another You we will say have
oats to sell — your neighbor buys them
of you He you will say has dry
goods to sell — you buy them of him
It la this system of mutual help that
makes the town grow Into the city
that Increases the price of real estate
In the town and In the community sur-
rounding it that builds new school-
bousee The dollar that Is unnecessarily sent
away from home never bought so
much as a nail for a schoolbouse never
put a shingle on its roof
Dut the dollars that are unneces-
sarily sent sway from home send back
to the community which they left
only ruin It Is these dollar that
prevent the replacing of the leaking
TOWN BOOSTING TIPS
The visitor who trips over your
broken sidewalk will not have a very
high opinion of your town as a place
of business
The home town Is the best place
for the boys if you will make the
home town prosperous Keeping the
money at home will do this It
means home opportunities for your
children
Don't drive around the hole In the
road week after week Get your
neighbors together and fix IL
The home market for the farm prod-
nets Is the saving clause In our sys-
tem of government Take away the
In your community Not necessarily
home markets and the farms will soon
become unprofitable and valueless
No city mail-order house will ex-
tend credit to you when times are
bard or crops fall Could you con-
sistently ask It of you home mer-
roof tho broken door binge or the
worn out desk
It Is the dollars that are unneces-
sarily sent away from home by you
and your neighbor and your neigh-
bor's neighbor that decrease tho valuo
of your and your neighbor's and
your neighbor's neighbor's real es-
tate That makes the school fund
grow less year after year That forces
the discharge of the competent teach-
er for a less competent one That re-
duces the standing of your schools
In the educational system of the coun-
try Work It backwards send your
money for the things you need away
from home Instead of spending It st
home and the system that builds Vil-
lases out of cross roads and cities out
of villages that Increases the value of
your real estate and permits you to
write your wealth In four- figure
where previously three figures were
enough and you will make of the
thriving little city but a village and
of the village but a crose roads
Do you not believe Mr Citizen and
do you think your neighbor and your
neighbor's neighbor should believe
that It pay best to keep tbe dollars
In tb borne community? Keep tbe
system moving forward help to
make a city of your village Doost
your towu's Interests and you boost
your own
WRIGHT A PATTERSON
GAMES OF 8HARPERS
Some of the Methods Used for Secur-
ing Money Dishonestly
Millions upon millions of dollars are
fraudulently taken from tbe pockets
of tb people year after year through
the operation of confidence men The
schemes used by these men are numer-
ous Nearly all are based upon tbe
fact that the average person Is always
willing to take the best of a bargain
During tbe past few months swin-
dlers have been operating In different
part of the country and their method
while a modification of an old swin-
dling game has some new feature
worthy of notice Their usual proced-
ure Is to locate farmers who are not
well known to local bankers and loan
men They approach the farmer and
under pretest of seeking to purchase
farming land manage In tome way to
secure hts signature Tbla Is general-
ly done by Inducing blm to write a
letter or to sign some statement
Once the signature Is secured a ficti-
tious deed to the farmer's land Is pre-
pared and this Is flied up In such a
manner as to show the seal of some
notary or other officer Then with
this deed the swindler Is In position to
negotiate a loan upon the land This
game has been successfully worked In
a number of western states
Residents of agricultural districts
should be continually on their guard
against tbe signing of receipts or any
kind of contract which may be pre-
sented to them by strangers Within
the past year some smooth swindlers
have succeeded In securing thousands
of dollars on fraudulent notes secur-
ing from fanners who were foolish
enough to take for trial washing ma-
chines refrigerators etc and to give
their receipts for the same These re-
ceipts turning up later as negotiable
notes
The writer of checks cannot be too
careful In filling In the amounts The
favorite methods of the check receiver
Is to Insert after the words "six"
"seven" "eight" or "nine" the letter
"y" or "ty" and change the ciphers In
the check accordingly Thus It can be
seen that a check written for eight
dollars by tbe addition of the letter
"y" can be made to read for eighty
dollars and the changing of tbe
amount if It be In numerals by the
addition of cipher makes the forgery
when well executed bard to discover
The Reason
"Ts this settlement" said the Dill-
rllle farmer "we call all the literary
fellers we kin ketch 'leadin’ ’ authors
because as a rule they're powerful
handy at leadin’ mules to water" — At-
lanta Constitution
chant when you send your money to
the city during the days of prosper-
ity? —
Encourage small factories to locate
by means of a bonus but by keeping
the children In the home town that
they may become factory employes
and get a home opportunity to raise
In the world
Do not begrudge tbe money paid
for taxes when It Is used for road and
town Improvements Such an ex-
penditure Is like bread cast upon
tbe waters — It will return many fold
Reef Gardens for Berlin
It is proposed to Introduce roof
gardens In llerlln A good many doc-
tors and professors are doing all they
can In favor of the scheme and are
agitating for the gardens particularly
In the narrower city thoroughfares
The Ides would not be difficult to
carry out th houses being mostly all
of on height and It Is already pos-
sible In many parts to walk from on
street to the next along a good broad
roof track
HE HAD TO HAVE FRUIT
Grapes Beyond Hie Puree Boy Took
Humble Substitute
James Wilson tbe secretary of agri-
culture was discussing In Washington
the aid which his department gives
the American farmer He pointed
out the benefit that had been derived
from tbe Introduction of darnm wheat
of the wheat-testing machine and of
tbe method of extracting potash from
granite
"In fact" said Mr Wilson smiling
"I believe that eventually our finest
products will be cheap enough to be
within the reach of all Then the
tory of the boy and tbe hot-bouae
grapes will be as dead and antiquated
aa tbe theater bat stories of tb past
"This boy — he waa a bootblack-
entered a grocer's etore one day and
pointing to some superb grapes said:
"Wot's tbe price o’ them there
mister T
"‘One dollar a pound my lad' the
clerk replied
"A look of anguish passed over the
boy's face and be said hastily:
"Then give ua a cent's worth o'
carrots I’m dead nuts on frulL’ ”
CHILDREN TORTURED
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
—Boy Tortured by Poison Oak—
Both Curod by Cuticura
"Last year after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent phy-
sician for an obstinate case of ecxema
1 resorted to the Cuticura Remedies
and was to well pleased with the al-
most Instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physician's prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap Cuticura Ointment and Cu-
ticura Pills When w commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores In about six weeks we had her
completely well and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble
"In July of this year a little boy la
our family poisoned bis bands and
arms with poison oak and In twenty-
four hours bis bands and arms wers a
mass of torturing sores Wo used
only the Cuticura Remedies and 1a
about three weeks bis bands and arms
