One of the most enjoyable side issues
of the conference was the Otterbein
Rally on the Institute campus Saturday
evening when former students of that
institution indulged in speeches and
songs and partook of a nice lunch serv-ed
by the United Brethren ladies. Rev.
S. W. Keister acted as chairman.
While there were a number of short
talks by others, Dr. Lewis Bookwalter
made the principal address. He gave a
short history of the institution. In 1817
a conference meeting here ordered that
a school be established at Mount Pleas-ant.
The order grew into the founding
of the Mount Pleasant Academy. In
1858 the school was moved to Otterbein

1 The girl whom tlie dog had bitten
was in court with her father. She
showed Judge Kyle a tiny mark on her
right hand which she said was made
by the dog's teeth. Dr. Horigan tried
to explain that ills dog was by no
means a vicious animal, but laid been
taken by surprise when tlie child step-ped
upon its tail.
“Your tine will be $50,” said the
court, “atid this dog must be shot im-mediately.”
“But I'll appeal my case to the crimi-nal
court,” declared the doctor.
“Then I'll tine you $100 and you can
go to jail until your appeal bond is pre-pared,”
declared tlie judge.
With tliis Dr. Horigan was led to
the “hold over,” where he remained un-til
the appeal had been prepared.
When the bond hud been properly sign-ed
and accepted Judge Kyle demanded:
“Now, where is that dog? I want you
to produce it so the order of this court
can be carried out.”
“No; I have appealed my case and
my dog shall not be killed. Yrou have
no right to kill it after I have appealed

TWO MEN’S LIVES
Sting Climbers About to Go Over Preci-pice

Two young men who tried to dezcaa,
Mount Washington in the night weiv
probably saved from instant dentil or
mortal Injury by a swarm of bees that
had hived in ail old log.
The men, Harry Short and Burt
Young of Portland, had never been up
(lie mountain before, but were so eouti
dent that,they could iiud their way down
over the foot trail by night that they
"stumped” each other to try it. Sever-al
with more level heads advised them
to remain until morning, as it looked
as though it might storm, but they
would not, and when the moon came
up they started.
Ordinarily a person would have little
difficulty in making the descent even
at night, but on this occasion a severe
mountain storm burst when the ad-venturers
were halfway down, and
they became so bewildered that they
got off tlie trail anil were soon plung-ing
through tlie woods. It was pitch
dark by this time, and they should
have camped and waited for daylight.
But instead they kept recklessly on.
It later developed that they were on
tlie brink of a precipice heading
straight for a 200 foot fall when the
bees intercepted them. The insects
arose in a swam when the hoys hit
the log hive and drove them back some
little distance. Here they finally de-cided
to stay until tlie storm passed.
When it became light the young men
saw what they had escaped.

Our Goods Our Best Advertisement.
If we sell you one order of goods, we feel certain of securing your orders for fu-ture
requirements. This is the reason we want you to get in touch with us, and also
one reason we are able to sell higher grade goods at lower prices. We are satisfied with
a narrow margin of profit and more of them.
Fall Coats for Ladies’ and Misses’ Wear.
Cool days are here now and we are ready with a complete line of neat, natty tan
and black covert jackets and a full and stylish assortment of long loose 50 inch coats in
plaids and plain colors. The prices begin at $5 60 and rise gradually to $25.00. Re-member,
too, that our low priced garments differ completely from many other low priced
garments. They are every one as carefully made and as strictly guaranteed as though
the price were doubled.
Dress Goods-Fail and Winter—50c.
Thousands of yards to select from and not one yard of shoddy stuff. Ask to see
our 50c line of 38 inch and 40 inch all wool goods—then compare it carefully with 75c
samples from elsewhere. We know where you’ll buy. 50C is a popular price to pay tor
dress goods and so we have collected a line of 50c materials like you can duplicate no-where
else.
Ladies’ Skirts-Wooltex.
You know what that means—Fashion Faultless—quality guaran-teed.
Are you going to buy a skirt? Let us show you what we have. Nothing here

enough to step in Every 01 e all wool, sewed with silk thread, shrunk and pressed and
made to fit, and the beauty of all is you don’t pay one cent more for this than if all were
not so. Everything new here, too. Price range up to $20.00.
Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!
Not a big line yet ready, but what we have will surprise you. All we have to
show you thus far are women’s wear at $i.2~>, $i.<~>o, $1.75 and $2.00. Children’s in sizes
from 5 to 2, prices 75c to $1 50. If these appeal to you—if you want the right kind of a

years and never had one pair returned. A record, that, that counts.

VETERANS
Hold Their Sixth Annual Reunion at Un-iontown
Thursday and Tell of
Old War Days. wnm MEMBERS PM m
The sixth annual reunion of the Fayette County Veteran Association in
Uniontown Thursday was attended by 400 of the 600 veterans in the county.
Burgess B. D. Warman delivered the address of welcome which was re-sponded
to by Fvans Bush, of Ohiopyle. The old officers were all re-elected.
Judge H. E. Reppert adjourned court to the small court room and the
veterans were given the use of the large court room. It was reported 33 vet-erans
of the county had died during the past year. Two men who served in
both the Mexican and Civil wars were present, J. L. Riger, of Connellsville,
and William Freeman, of German township.
Resolutions adopted request pensions for all soldiers and ask S12 a month
for all soldiers’ widows, and condemn the movement in the south to erect a
monument to Henry Wirz, who was in charge of the Andersonville prison.
Campfires were held in the afternoon and at night.

but Girl Kills It With
Big Stick.
The women and children who were
picnicking in a wood at Richfield, N.
J., had spread a tablecloth on the grass,
had laid out the angel cake and the Ice
cream, had disposed themselves, cross
legged, to enjoy the feast, when

hissing, raised Its head menacingly.
Those of the picnickers who were not
paralyzed by fear scattered, shrieking.
Some ran down the Paterson turnpike
anil met Miss Vera Gillette, who was
going to her dressmaker’s.
Miss Vera is not a Miss Muffett. When
she was told about the unwelcome
guest she got a big stick. With one
blow she stunned the snake; the second
killed it. But the picnickers hurried
away without taking even the table-
ONf'E there was a man who want-ed
to test the friendship which
another man professed to have
for him.
"I will,” lie said to himself, “pretend
that I have been financially ruined. I'll
put on old clothes and rumple my hair
and go for two or three days without
shaving, and then I'll hunt him up and
tell him a hard luck story and see
whether he Is worth having us a
friend.”
lie at ouce proceeded to put his plan
into operation. He informed several
people in confidence that lie was in
financial straits, and he ceased to look
prosperous. After he laid fixed every-thing
in accordance with the plans
which had been previously made he
started out in search of his friend. But
it happened that in tile meantime the
people who had been apprised of the
financial reverses of the friendship
tester had made a wild rush to get
their money out of enterprises in
which lie was interested. As a result
the securities lie held became worth-less
right away; nobody would give
him credit; the banks called upon him
for immediate settlement, and within
a week lie was ruined in spite of all
(lint his friend could do for him.

Pennsylvania Railroad Said to Have
Appropriated that Amount for Im-provements
In Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 12.—Rumor Is
current that the Pennsylvania Rail-road
will soon award a contract
whereby $17,000,000 will be expended
In improving its terminals, enlarging
l.s trackage facilities In the Greater
Pittsburg district. The latest report
has it that this amount and perhaps
more will be expended and that a new
Union station will be erected on the
block extending from Sixth avenue to
Fifth avanue and from Grant street
to Smithfield street. It Is also proba-ble
that the square bounded by Sixth
and Seventh avenues and by Smith-field
and Grant streets will be utilized
in tills improvement.
The new Union station, it is said,
will be the finest on the P. R. R. lines
—with the possible exception of its
new New York City terminal. All the
B. & O. trains will use the new sta-tion.
The P. R. R. Company owns
the property extending from the
Union station at Twelfth street down
to Seventh avenue, so it would not be
a difficult matter to extend their
tracks through to Fifth avenue.
The Home of Opportunity.
Greater Pittsburg is the greatest
money-making center on earth—the
home of iron, steel, coal and coke,
plate glass, machinery, cork and var-ious
other products giving employ-ment
to hundreds of thousands. Her
weekly payroll exceeds several mil-lions.
The capital of her banks and
trust companies exceeds the combin-ed
capital, surplus and deposits of
fifteen Southern states. She leads
the world in tonnage. Her property
value exceeds a billion dollars.
Fifth Avenue property which a few
years ago sold for $8,500 a front foot
is today selling at $18,000 per front
foot. SmithfleUl St. property has ad-vanced
proportionately. Wood St.,
Liberty street and Penn Avenue prop-erty
has advanced In like proportion.
Residence property In the Oakland
and East End districts has Increased
from 50 to 500 per cent. Throughout
the Greater Pittsburg district this in-crease
has taken place. In McKees-port
in the past five years business
property has increased 400 per cept,
the same rule of increase applies to
its residence property. Wllmerdlng
and East McKeesport real estate has
increased from 100 to 500 per cent.
The growth and Increase has been
natural, steady and stable. Investors
have made more money In Greater
Pittsburg realty than in any other
form of Investment.
Where More Money Can Be Made.
Right, In the midst of Greater Pitts-burg's
finest Industrial district—be-tween
the Turtle Creek & Mononga-hela
Valleys—lies Arlington Park—
the heart of Greater Pittsburg. Ar-lington
Park is the center of a dis-trict
that ts paying out each year over
$130,000,000.00 In wages.
Arlington Park is a tract of 225
acres of practically level land subdi-vided
Into 225 lots. Tills tract adjoins
Wllmerdlng at the head of Westing-house
avenue, but a few minutes walk
from the P. R. R. station, where over
100 trains stop daily.
It also adjoins East McKeesport,
and the belt car line connecting with
every point In Allegheny county ex-tends
past, it. Cars pass In both di-rections
every 10 minutes. It Is but
10 minutes ride from McKeesport and
East Pittsburg and but 30 minutes
ride from Pittsburg.
It has filtered city water, natural
gas, electric light, schools, churches
and stores which are practically on
the plan. Its streets and avenues are
wide and It fronts on the Greensburg
pike—a thoroughfare GO feet wide
which the state Is going to macada-mize
and increase in width to 100 feet
without expense to property holders.
Within a stone’s throw of Arlington
Park, lots are selling for $1,500—and
these lots are only 40x100 feet. In
East McKeesport 25x100 foot lots sell
right alongside Arlington Park at stiff
prices. These lots are not high priced
—the prices asked being fair. Think
of getting 10 to 15 such sized lots in
Arlington Park for $800 to $2,500.
Arlington Park lots averaging one
acre in size ill admit of subdivision
into from I if to 15 city lots 26 feet
front by 100 feet deep. These will
cost the purchaser but from $55 to
$170 per lot—while all around the plan
lots of this size are selling for three
times this amount.
Better send $25 today and secure an
acre lot In Arlington Park. Remember
you are getting
10 to 15 Lots for the Price of One.
Our object in dividing Arlington
Park into such large lots was in order
to dispose of It quickly. Many people
wanted acre lots for their homes—
fully 40 persons requested us to sell
them an acre or more and almost all
of them have purchased lots and
houses are now in course of construc-tion.
Arlington Park, with its pure,
fresh air, its conveniences—charming
scenery and delightful view commends
Itself to the home builder. It is suffi-ciently
attractive to the renter—there-fore
the builder or investor will make
money by building houses there.
We positively guarantee that any
unsold lot In Arlington Park at the
end of the first- year will not be sold
for less than 25 per cent more than
tve are now asking. So you see you
will have an investment that will
Pay You 25 Per Cent the First Year.
You can buy Arlington Park lots on
easy terms. If you desire to paycash
we will allftw you a discount of 10 per
cent. If you yvlsh, you can pay on
monthly installments.
Twenty-five dollars down secures
any lot—$8.00 to $25.00 a month pays
for It.
Free Railroad Fare.

around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postoffice distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s

There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of

TIMELY WARNING.
In many cities where it has been an-nounced
that free mail delivery is about
to be established, alleged “agents” have
followed and offered to rent boxes for
the reception of mail matter at resi-dences
or places of business, swindling
people in various sections of the coun-try
for several years past.
Their usual plan of operation is to
offer for rent boxes for a term of five
years for fifty cents. The rent is col-lected
in advance, but the boxes are
never delivered. In other instances
agents have sold boxes outright, collect-ing
in advance, but failing to furnish
boxes.
The Department would appreciate the
placing of mail boxes at residences and
places of business, as this greatly facili-tates
the work of the letter carriers; but,
it warns our people not to patronize the
alleged traveling “agents.” Buy and
place house boxes for the reception of
your mail mattei-. As Inspector Williams,
of this district, says, patronize only your
home dealers who can provide suitable
boxes at as small cost as any foreign
dealer or "agent."
TIME TO SPEAK OUT.
Six weeks or more ago the Jeannette
“Dispatch” addressed a letter to each of
the candidates for the Legislature in
this county, asking them for their views
on several important matters on which
they will be called upon to vote this
winter, and but one—Mr. Boyd, of Scott-dale—
thought the inquiries of sufficient
importance to answer. The Irwin“Stand-ard"
addressed similar questions to the
same vote-seekers some weeks later and
received but three replies.
The voters of this county, in common
with people all over the state—a large
majority of them, at least—expect the
coming session of their Legislature not
only to give them a straight two-cent
railroad fare, if the railroads are foolish
enough not to grant such concession be-ore
the lawmakers meet, but also to ex-tend
to trolley companies the right of
eminent domain and the right to carry
freight. The wise candidate certainly
knows this to be true and we see no
reason why he should hesitate to express
his willingness to aid in these good
causes; that is, provided, he really desires
to be elected.
Speak right out, gentlemen.

there, headed by President Palma, and
the insurgents who have Cuba's chief
executive badly scared.
me impression prevails that the plans
for settlement provide that President
Palma retain his office but must reor-ganize
his cabinet, giving Liberals rep-resentation
in it, and that new elections
be held for half the senators and repre-resentatives
and possibly for provincial
officers, thus abrogating the elections of
last year.
If our “Big Bill” should succeed in
having both parties agree to accept some
such arrangement as that outlined above
and thus restore order in the island, peace
would be of the patched up variety that
rarely lasts long. Your Uncle Samuel
will some day be compelled to takeover
Cuba.
THE KEISTERS.
THE JOURNAL joins in the general re
gict felt by the people of Mount Pleas
ant at the thought ot losing Rev. S. W
Keister and family who will soon be
come residents of Westerville, Ohio,
where the reverend.gentleman himself
intends taking up evangelistic work be-yond
the Mississippi.
Rev. Mr. Keister has spent ten years
here, five as pastor of the local United
Brethren church and five as a presiding
elder for Allegheny Conferenre, two
periods with annual elections that not
only speak better than mere words for
the faithful and efficient services he
rendered in each but leave no room for
doubt that success will be his in his
new field.
And what Rev. Keister has been Mrs.
Keister was, too, among her good sisters
of the town in addition to being all that
the wife and mother should be. Equally
faithful also in the discharge of every
church duty and always to be found
among the leaders in any movement that
had for its object the betterment of the
town morally, Mrs. Keister’s loss will
be felt just as keenly as that of her hus-band.
But Allagheny Conference has still,
we are glad to say, left us one of this
honored name—Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keis-ter
who again succeeds himself as pastor
of the denomination's place of worship
here. We want him to stay here, too,
and build the new United Brethren
church at the corner of Main street and
College avenue, at the same time helping
along with the opening of the latter
} thoroughfare.
Judgeship Appointments.
On Friday last at Oyster Bay Presi-dent
Roosevelt, at the solicitatian of
United States Senator Knox, appointed
Judge Joseph Buffington, of the United
States District Court, to fill the vacancy
on the bench of the United States Cir-cuit
Court caused by the death of Judge
Marcus W. Acheson, and former Judge
Nathaniel Ewing, of Uniontown, Fayette
county, was appointed judge of the
United States District Court.
Vicious Trotter Lads.
George Gibson, Joe Rozsbrink, Ran-dolph
and Julius Brass, Trotter boys,
have been arrested and held for trial in
the Fayette county criminal court on a
charge of having tried to electrocute
Mrs. Mocsl Twenerziezk, a neighbor
woman. They took baled hay wire and
connected a highly charged electric line
with a wire fence by which the woman
was terribly burned as she attempted to
cross it on her way to milk.

Pure Spices.
You have often purchased the best fruits possible
to get and taken great care in pickling and preserving
them only to be disappointed in their savoriness and
zest because of poor, weak spices.
It’s hard to get pure, unadulterated spices at gro-cery
stores. The reason is, grocers buy their spice
where they can get it cheapest, paying little attention
to purity.
Even if a grocer does demand pure spice when he
buys he has no way of telling whether he gets what
he wants or not
With us it is different. We can test all our
spices for purity, strength and flavor. We have all
spi'ces so much in demand by the thrifty housewife at
this season.
Our window .s full of them Have a look!
Maybe you can get the box of Reymer’s

Stick to the Handle
You get more facts about easy
running right at the crank of a sepa-tor
than by listening to tain. If a
separator turns easily, the crank
tells you SO as soon as you touch it.
I am selling the lightest running
cream separator made—and it's the
best every wTay you look at it. It’s
.fj®ft
The Sharpless Tubular.
The Tubular is the cleanest skimming, most durable,
easiest to wash separator made. The waist low can saves
your back—the enclosed gears can’t pinch your fingers—
the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over
and prevents d ipping on machine or floor. The Tuiiular
skimmed 24 to 9 times cleaner than any other in a National Clean
Skimming Contest.
The Tubular is a money-maker and a labor saver—it in-creases
the butter money 25 to 100 per cent, and lessens the
worn of handling milk about one half. Bring your wife in
to see it. She’ll say it is the easiest to wash. Let me give
you a catalogue with a lot of good things in it.

so that he may proceed in a legal way to secure possession of it or of so
much of it as rightfully belongs to him as one of the heirs of the late James
Sarsfield, of the County Kildare, Ireland.
The property was at one time the estate of Lord General Patrick Sars-field,
of the County Kildare, an earl by the appointment of the English
crown, and one of the wealthiest of the Irish gentlemen of his day. The
property was a landed one and contained enough land so that if it could be
sold for £5 sterling the acre it would bring something like $44,000,000.

LUNATICS HOLD
UP AERONAUTS
Seize Balloon's Trail Rope,'and One of
the Crazy Mca is Car-ried
Off.
A couple of aeronauts had a queer
adventure while passing over Giaudola,
Italy. They were traveling low down,
preparing for u descent, when they
happened to cross some fields attached
to a lunatic asylum, in which u number
of the patients were working.
At sight of the airship the lunatics
Bet up a shout, and one or them seized
the trail rope and clung on. Others
joined him and then tried to haul
down the aerououts.
The balloonists, fearing mischief, be-gan
to pelt them with ballast to make
them release their hold, but the luna-tics
appeared to enjoy the proceedings
as u great joke and continued hauling.
The uproar they made finally attract-ed
the keepers, who ran to the assist-ance
of the aeronauts and, knocking
over several of the more stubborn pa-tients,
released their hold of the rope.
The balloon then shot away, carrying
from the ground one lunatic who had
become entangled. lie fell several
yards on another inmate, but neither
appeared to be much the worse for the
encounter.
Foil Dovin Beventy-flve Foot Well.
Miss Gertrude Reynolds had a nar-row

when she fell down a seventy-five foot
well and escaped with trifling injuries.
While standing 011 a footstool to ad-just
the well chain the stool slipped
and she fell to the bottom of the well.
Mrs. Calvert and Miss Nellie Cullen
saw the woman disappear and immedi-ately
gave an alarm. Several men
hastened lo the well. When one of
them looked down the well and called
out, “Are you alive?” he was greeted
with the reply, “Yes, hut for God’s
sake, get a rope and get me out of
here!” Miss Reynolds was clinging
to the stones, her head just above wa-ter.
A rope and ladder were lowered
into the well and she was hoisted to
the surface.

(CONTINUED.]
TTnoonBcIouB tlmt lip had stated the
primordial thesis, he left the foragers
alone. Hauling the sail out of the wa-ter,
he discovered that the stern hoard
was missing, broken off probably when
the mast fell. Ills trained scrutiny
soon solved a puzzle suggested by the
state of the cordage. Under ordinary
conditions the upper part of the mast
would either have curried the sail clean
away with It or he found acting as a
sort of sea anchor at a short distance
from the boat.
But it had gone altogether, and the
strands of the sail rope were bitten,
not torn, asunder. The shark had
striven to pull the boat under by tug-ging
at the wreckage.
Having made the canvas shipshape,
Jlin settled the next pressing question
by seizing an empty tin and sluicing
the fore part. Then he passed a rope
under the after thwart and reeved It
through a ringbolt In a rock placed
there for mooring purposes in very
calm weather like the present.
When the Trinity tender paid her
monthly visit to the lighthouse she was
moored to a buoy three cable lengths
away to the northwest. If there was
the least suspicion of a sea over the
reef it was indeed a ticklish task land-ing
or embarking stores and men.
Closelntuled, the boat would till for-ward
as the tide dropped. This was
matterless.- By that time all her rnov-able
contents—she appeared to haye
plenty of tinned meat and biscuits
aboard, but no water—would be re-moved
to the storeroom.
The sailor was sorting the packages
—wondering what queer story of the
deep would be forthcoming when the
recent history of the rescued child was
ascertained—when Brand hailed him.
“T.ook out there, Jim. I am lowering
an ax.”
The weapon was duly delivered.
“What's the ax for, cap’n?" was the
natural query.
“I want to chop out that shark’s
teeth. They will serve ns mementos
for the girl If she grows up. which is
likely, judging by the way she is yell-ing
at Jones.
“Wot's he n-dolu’ of?” came the sharp
demand.
“Giving her a bath, and excellently
well too. He is evidently quite domes-ticated.”
“If that means ‘under Mrs. J.’s
thumb,’ you’re right, cap'll. They tell
me that when he’s ashore”—
“Jim, the first time I met you you
were wheeling a perambulator. Now,
load the skip and I will haul In.”
They worked in silence a few min-utes.
Brand descended, and a few
well placed cuts relieved the man eater
of the serrated rows used to such seri-ous
purpose in life that he had attained
a length of nearly twelve feet. Set
double in the lower jaw and single in
the upper, they were of a size and
shape ominously suggestive of the
creature’s voracity.
“It is a good thing,” said Brand,
calmly hewing at the huge jaws, “that
nature did not build the Carcharodon
galeidoe on the same lines ns an al-ligator.
If this big fellow's sharp em-broidery
were not situated so close to
his stomach ho would have made a
meal of me, Jim, unless I carried a
torpedo.”
“He’s a blue shark,” commented the
other, ignoring for the nonce what he
termed “some of the cap’n’s jawbreak-ers.”
“Yes. It is the only dangerous
species found so far north.
“His teeth are like so' many fixed
bayonets. Of course you would like to
keep ’em, but he would look fine in a
museum. Plenty of folk in Penzance,
especially visitors, would pay a bob
a head to see him.”
Brand paused In his labor.
“Listen, Jim,” he said earnestly. “I
want both you and Jones to oblige me
by saying nothing about the shark,
riease do not mention my connection
with the affair in any way. The story
will get into the newspapers ns it is.
The additional sensation of the fight
would send reporters here by the score.
I don’t wish that to occur.”
“Do you mean to say”—
“Mr. Jones will report the picking up
of the boat and the finding of the baby,
together with the necessary burial of
a man unknown”—
“What sort of a chap was he?” In-terrupted
Jim,
“I-T don’t know—a sailor—that is all
I can tell you. He must have been
dead several days.”
“Then how in the world did that
baby keep alive?”
“I have been thinking over that prob-lem.
I imagine that, In the first place,
there was a survivor, who disappeared
since the death of the poor devil out
there.” He pointed to the sea. "This
person, whether man or woman, looked
afier the child until madness came,
caused by drinking salt water. The
next step Is suicide. The little one,
left living, fell Into the bilge created
by the shipping of a sea and adopted,
by tile mercy of Providence, a method
of avoiding death from thirst which
ought to be more widely appreciated
than it Is. She absorbed water through
the pores of the skin, which rejected
the salty elements and took In only
those parts of the compound needed by
the blood. You follow me?”
“Quite. It’s a slap-up idea.”
it is not new. It occurred to a
ship’s captain who was compelled to
navigate Ids passengers and crew a
thousand miles in open boats across
the Indian ocelli! ns the result of a
fire at sen. Well, the child was well
nourished, in all likelihood, before the
accident happened which set her adrift
on (lie Atlantic. She limy have lost
a few pounds In weight, but star-vation
Is u slow affair, and her plump-ness
saved her life In that respect.
Most certainly she would have died
today, and even yet she Is In great
danger. Her pulse Is very weak, and
care must he taken not to stimu-late
the action of the heart too rap-idly.”
When Brand spoke In this way Jim
Spence was far too wary to ask per-sonal
questions. Sometimes, In the
early days of their acquaintance, he
bad. sought to pin his friend with clum-sy
logic to some admission as to his
past life. The only result he achieved
was to seal the other man's lips for
days so far as reminiscences were con-cerned.
Not only Jones ami Spence, but
Thompson, the third assistant, who
was taking ids month ashore, together
with the supernumeraries who helped
to preserve the rotation of two months’
rock duty and one ashore, soon real-ized
that Brand, whom they liked and
looked up to, had locked the record of
his earlier years and refused to open
the diary for •'.";' one.
Yet so helpful was he, so entertaining
with his scraps of scientific knowledge
and more nmple general reading, tlmt
those whose turn on the rock was co-incident
with his relief bailed his re-appearance
with joy. During the pre-ceding
winter he actually entertained
them with a free translation of the
twenty-four hooks of the “Iliad,” and
great was file delight of Jim Spence
when he was aide to connect the ex-ploits
of some Greek or Trojan hero
with the identity of one of her majes-ty’s
ships.
In private they discussed him often,
and a common agreement was made
that his wish to remain Incognito
should lie respected. Their nickname,
“tlie cap’n,” was a tacit admission of
his higher social rank. They feared
lest Inquisitiveness should drive him
from their midst, and one supernumer-ary,
who heard from the cook of the
Trinity tender that Brand was the
nephew of a baronet, was roughly bid-den
to “close bis rat trap, or lie might
catch something he couldn’t eat.”
So Jim now contented himself by re-marking
dolefully that had bis advice
been taken “the bloomin’ kid would lie
well on her way back to the Sciily
isles.”
“You must not say that,” was the
grave response, “These tilings are de-termined
by a higher power than man's
intelligence. Think how tbo seeming
accident of a fallen sail saved the child
from the cormorants and other birds;
how a chance sea fell into the boat and
kept her alive; how mere Idle curiosity
on my part Impelled me to swim out
and investigate matters.”
“That's your way of puttin’ it,” Jim
was forced to say. “You knew quite
well that there might be a shark in ber
wake or you woumnt nave uuceu me
knife. An’ .now you won't have a word
said about it. At the bombardment of
Alexandria a messmate of mine got the
V. C. for lees.”
"The real point is, Jim, that we have
not yet discovered what ship this boat
belongs to.”
“No, an’ what’s more, we won’t find
out in a hurry. Her name’s gone fore
and aft.”
“Is there nothing left to help us?”
“Only this.”
The sailor produced the brooch from
his waistcoat pocket. It> was of the
safety pin order, but made of gold and
ornamented with small emeralds set as
a four leafed shamrock.
“Is the maker’s name on the sail?”
1 “No. I fancy that this craft was rig-ged
on board ship for harbor cruisin’.”
Brand passed a hand wearily across
his forehead.
“I wish I bad not been so precipi-tate,”
he murmured. “That man bad
papers on him, in all likelihood.”
“You couldn't have stood it, mate. It
was bad enough tot me. It must ha’
been worse for you.”
“Perhaps the baby’s clothes are
marked.”
“That’s a chance. She was well rig-ged
out.”
Brand cast the shark loose. The
monster slid off into the green depths.
A noiseless procession of dim forms
rushed after the carcass. The birds,
shrill witli disappointment, darted off
to scour the neighboring sea.
Beyond the damaged bont, bumping
against the rock, and the huge jaws
with their rows of wedge shaped teeth,
naught remained to testify to the
drama of the hour save the helpless
baby on which the head keeper was
waiting so sedulously.
Already the signal “Doctor wanted”
was buttering from the lighthouse flag-staff.
It would he noted at the Laud’s
End and telegraphed to Penzance.
The morning would he well advanced
hefore help could reach the Gulf Book
from ashore.
When Brand and Spence entered
Jones’ bedroom they found him hard
at work washing the child’s clothing.
“She’s asleep,” he said, jerking his
head toward a buulc. “1 gov' her a

from Pittsburg to Philadelphia, the great state highway, can be rehabilitated.
Those interested estimated that it would cost about $7,000 a mile.
Congressman George F. Hull, of Greensburg, maintained, however,
that the work could be done for about $1,000. To demonstrate this he got
permission from the supervisors of Hemptield and Unity townships and re-build
four miles of the pike at his estimated cost of $1,000 a mile. Road
supervisors from all parts of the country, farmers and motorists have in-spected
the work and all express satisfaction. This stretch of the pike will be
inspected by the Pittsburg automobilists.

The domesticated Jones was up to
Ills elbows lu a lather of soap.
“Have you noticed any laundry
marks or Initials on her clothing?”
asked Brand.
“Yes. Here you are.”
He fished out of the hubbies a little
vest, ou which were worked the letters
E. T. white silk.
"Ahl That is very important."
"Ah! That is very important. We
can establish her Identity, especially If
die laundry mark is there also.”
“I’m feared there’s nothing else,”
said Jones. “I’ve not looked very care-fully,
as it’ll take me all my time to
got everything dry afore the tug comes.
As for Ironin’, it cau’t be done. But
my missus ’ll see after her until some-body
turns up to claim her.”
“That may be never.”
“Purely we will get some news of the
ship which was lost!”
“Yes. that is little enough to expect.
Yet it Is more than probable that her
parents are dead. A baby would be
separated from her mother only by the
mother’s death. There Is a very real
chalice that poor ’E. T.’ will be left for
years on the hands of those who take
charge of her now. The only alterna-tive
is the workhouse.”
“That’s so. cap’ll,” put In Jim. “You
always dig to the heart of a subjec’,
even if it’s a shark.”
“In a word, Jones, you can hardly be
asked to assume such a responsibility.
Now, It happens that I can afford to
adopt the child if she lives and is not
claimed by relatives. It is almost a
duty imposed on me by events. When
the doctor comes, therefore, I purpose
asking him to sec that she is handed
over to Mrs. Sheppard, the nurse who
looks after my own little girl. I will
write to her. My turn ashore comes
next week. Then I can devote some
time to the necessary Inquiries.”
Jones made no protest. He knew
that Brand’s suggestion was a good
one, and he promised silence with re-gard
to the fight with the shark. Men
in the lighthouse service are quick to
grasp the motives which cause others
to avoid publicity. They live sedate,
lonely lives. The noise, the rush, the
purposeless activities of existence
ashore weary them. They have been
known to petition the Trinity Brethren
to send them back to Isolated stations
when promoted to localities where the
pleasures and excitements of a town
were available.
Having determined the Immediate fu-ture
of little “E. T.,” whose shrunken
features were now placid In sleep, they
qmeuy separated, urauu uuug uimseif
wearily into a bunk to obtain a much
needed rest, and the others hurried to
overtake the many duties awaiting
them.
Weather reports and daily journals
demanded instant attention. The oil
expenditure, the breakage of glass
chimneys, the consumption of stores,
the meteorological records—all must be
noted. An efficient lookout must be
maintained, signals answered or hoist-ed,
everything kept spotlessly clean
and meals cooked. Until noon each day
a rock lighthouse Is the scene of un-remitting
diligence, and the loss of
nearly an hour uml a half of Spence’s
wnrcu, aimed to the presence or the
baby and the constant care which one
or oilier of the two men bestowed on
her, made the remaining time doubly
precious.
About S) o’clock Brand was awaken-ed
from a heavy slumber by Jim’s
hearty voice:
“Breakfast ready, cap’n. Corfee,
eggs an’ haddiek—fit for the queen,
God bless her! An’ baby’s had another
pint of Jones’ brew—Lord love her lit-tle
eyes, though I haven't seen ’em yet!
A iiilnit ago Jones sung down to me
tlmt the Lancelot has Just cleared

The concluding statement brought
Brand to his feet. The doctor would
be on the rock by the time breakfast
was ended and the letter to Mrs.
Sheppard written.
When the doctor did arrive he shook
hjs head dubiously at first sight of the

“Brighten Up” time is here—the time to
clean up about the house, renovate, and make
the old things look neat and clean again. We
can help you in the work with our line of
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINTS AND VARNISHES.
It is really surprising what a little paint or varnish will do toward
brightening up dingy surroundings. 'Fake The S-W. Family Paint, for
instance. This is a linseed oil paint specially prepared for home decor-ating
and painting. With it any one can renew the appearance of a
hundred little things that now look worn and old. It dries with a good
gloss and will stand scrubbing with soap and water. Comes in 26 attract-ive
shades.
The S-W. Floorlac is nnother splendid household brightener. It is
a stain and varnish combined and can be used on old or new woods equally
well. Imitates the natural woods and gives a most pleasing effect.
These offer a few hints for you. ▲Come in and have a “Brighten Up” talk
with us and learn more about how we can
help you in your Fall cleaning. Our line
has a paint or varnish for every purpose.
