Helpful Hint No. 93746521.
Drowsiness in church is often caused
by poor ventilation. Try to choose a
seat where fresh air is assured. To
keep awake in church when inclined
to be drowsy, lift one foot a little way
from the floor and keep it there. It is
impossible to go to sleep with the foot
poised in the air. This simple rem
edy is very effectual.
An Indiana polf player lost all of
his front teeth when he wa. hit by a
prolf club. It is believed to be the
RTeatest number of holes ever made
at one shot.
The jitney starts a tril? harder
these cool fall mornings. When it
comes winter, we're going to have a
h. w. b. handy.
Mincr.n is agitated over hiring n
flight wrtihman this winter in eider
to get ready to cope wit'i th ; v:ive of
crime. Any town that "-mi 'up, rt
two hootlrgpers needs an extra cop or
a fcpvcrn ff the klan.
Far be it from us to erah nbout cur
luck, but we deem it worthy of note
that within a week after we had let go
of a bunch of Liberty bonds, the mar
ket price for them raved M-veral
points.
If it's a case of a revengeful repub
lican party gelling even with a poor
democrat, we think it ought to be
known that we are still holding the
sack for the Cox-Kooseve't tluo.
If you haven't been invi'.od to attend
the meeting at the Kavern o the Kl.in,
maybe it's because you huvon made a
noise like a ten dollar bill.
Again, it may be that your street

One thing's sure, either the Abe Mar

The mere pedestrian stepped square

bile. There was a grinding of brakes,
the smell of rubber scorched by fric

body on the cold brick pavement. Men
shuddered and even strong women
fainted by the wayside. Tenderly they
gathered up the crushed and bleeding
semblance to mortal form and carried
it into a nearby drug store.
A police surgeon responded to the

Dan hnd beeu resolute.
"I'm a country boy, Cath," he had
said. "The city linn men enough. Don't
urge me to go. I've a plau for build

Is mine already, and by next year I

Here the quurrel hnd begun. Cath
erine could not bear that people should
say her lnn was lacking In ambition.
It had ended by her anylng:
"I will never marry you so long ai
you stay In this town."
Dan had caught her hand when she
would have removed the ring.
'Take time to think It over, Cath.
I shall take the assistant keeper'a
plue at the light during Ids vacation.
You won't see me for a month."
The girl moved restlessly, as If to
shake off troublesome memories, and
Mopped from the shelter of the rocka
out upon the headland, from which
was visible the grent, brilliant eye In
the lighthouse tower, a mile beyond
the harbor entrance, Braced against
the storm wind, she gazed seaward.
The light a stationary one was
winking and flushing In a manner to
attract uotlce. After a bewildered
moment ll came to her that the wlnka

of the Morse code, as familiar to her
as the printed word, through her dully

She sped down the rocky path to
the house, where her uncle, Captain
Itarrett, retired, sat before the fire
place blissfully anticipating supper.
"Thcrea trouble at the light," she
gasped. Possessed of the fucta the
cHptnin agreed.
"Trouble, sure enough. Guess I'll
have to go."
"I'm going, too. I can run the en
gl!;o," announced Catherine.
Sure that the trouble was Illness or
accident they stopped on the way to
enlist the young doctor's aid. At the
shore, men vtho were discussing the
unusual behavior of the light offered
help. The captain chose shrewdly.
"Doctor's un able seaman, and
Cath's a good engineer. I'll take Jack.
He's tough as the toenails o' Mosea."
Drenched and weary, they reached
the lighthouse at last.
Captain Hatch, head keeper, lay
lashed to his bed, his eyes bright f ith
fever, his iniitterinus Incoherent.
Leaving the doctor with him, Cath
erine ran up the winding stairs, Cup

clumsily tied up. and one leg broken
and helpless, though he hnd tied that
up, too, with a makeshift splint.
The head keeper quieted, the doctor
made swift examination and decided
not to set the broken limb until morn
ing. While he deftly bundaged the In
jured head. Dan told his atory.
. "Captain Hatch was taken sick this
noon, with chills," he said. "He
couldn't get warm. He lay down and
I put hot things flat Irons and stove
lids around him.
"Tills afternoon he grew feverish,
and tutor went completely out of his
head and thought I was trying to get
up Into the tower to barm the light.
He struck .me on the head with a flat
iron. Then we fought, and I tied him
down, so I could leave hlui, to light
the lamp. Cowing down the Indder

leg. I tied It up as best I could. Didn't

"How'd you make signals?" asked
Captain Barrett.

said the girl hotly.
"I'm not a J. I for nothing." re
turned Captain Itarrett. "Brought my
little black book with me, too."
Dan caught her hand.
"You will, won't you. Cath?" he
begged. "I've the license, you know.
You are all the folka I have. Don't
leave me."
"I shall need a nurse here," put In
the doctor. "Can't move my patients

Catherine's eyes were like stars.
"Head the service, uncle, please,"
the said quietly.
"Well, by the ev-rlastln' clam!" re
marked the captain, a a preliminary.
"You said." reminded Dan, smiling
faintly, "that you would never marry
me so long as I stayed In I.tdevllte."
"And ! kept my word," laughed the
girl. "'tVhere are your wits, Dunuy,
