since she had met Itohert nnd the
tenor of her life hail been forever
changed. Before that, It was an un
eventful routine.
But nftcr Robert's ndvent, unrest
hud stirred within her, nnd dissatis
faction with life's simple Homeliness.
Robort Tabor, city business man, hnd
bought as an Investment, the great
farm near Janey's home, und when
the caretaker ind been duly Installed,
Itobert Tabor came out to look the
n1nrr nvnr. So ntpfiKcd and Interested
was he, that he lingered for weeks, j
isccklng and finding hospitality In
Janey's homo
It hnd never been her opportunity to
hear at first hutid of remote wonder
ful ports of the world, for this en
gaging man from tho city had traveled
nnd learned much. It wns n never
censing dqllght to ride over the fnrm
lands, in his swift running .car, or to
drive at his side In n light carriage
through the narrower paths.
Janey's guurdlan aunt was quite
Villlng that this should be so, she
had no wish to keep Janey forever nt
her side. All nt onco Janey Had been
ashamed of tho ' simple cut of her
home-made frocks, her lack of knowl
edge of the ways of the great outside
'world. . - -
r "I "want to go to the city," Rhc con
fided to ho)1 new friend. "I want to
learn to b Hlco them."
"Clothes you mean?" Itobert Tabor
had asked, amused.
"Clothes, manners, everything,"
Janey declared.
' The mint, much persuuded, arranged
with an old friend In tho city to have
Janey. visit her there, and Robert ns
botb now called him continued kind
with his attentions. Iu his care
Jnney visited restaurants, opera, thea
ters; with him she had driven through
thcbeautlful parks.
"Oh I how I love it nil 1" she said.
Home seemed very dull afterward.
Robert's visits to his fnrm were the
only bright spots, and as fall drew
near nnd those visits threatened to
cense, Janey grew wan In apprehen
sion. With the harvest moon looking down
upon them, glorifying their rndlnnt
faces Robert had asked Jnney to
innrry htm and she had consented.
Robert wanted her, he longed for
Iioh nti.1 ilnunriMd Imutnoaa lmlil htm
tied In tho city. Would sho come for
pe. vjwlt to his married sister's home?
Would she come?
In n fever of Joyful Anticipation
Jnney rushed to her mint's room to
begin preparation. Robert wns pale
and wprrlcd lookfiig when he mot her
at tho station; Absently he glanced
over the modish suit and, hat which
hnd cost her aunt a forbiddingly ex
travagant price.
In the brilliant .gathering which his
sister generously arranged for Janey
her fear grew, at his gloomy abstrac
tion. This taciturn man was n differ
ent person certainly from the Joyously
enthusiastic master of tho farm. And
Robert's sister had assured Janey
that she lleeil have no anxiety on
the score of adjustability.
"You seem to Iriive grown up among
us dear," she said,
At the hotel dinner, smiling into
her lover's eyes across the roses heap
ed between them, Janey saw a shadow
there.
"You like nil this, don't you?" Rob
ert asked;
Wiping Out Predatory Animal
During 1018 hunters of the t'nlted
Stntcs department of agriculture killed
83 gray wolves In Now Mexico, 84
mountain Hons, lr, stook-dostroying
hears, 1.8(10 coyotes, nnd 850 bobcats,
we are told, Thoe aillmols were
killed at total expense of $24,8(30,
and the saving liffected by their de
struction, n the basis confjilonly no
cepted by stockmen, amoihfls to $21tv
OHO annually. Hunting during the
spring period destroys nimiy young,
nnd thus prevents Increase Many
coyotes not accounted for, ii the fig

The killing of these nnlmnls marks n
long stride In extermination of gray
wolves and other jredatOT$ animals,
nnd the saving Is cumulatlve-for yenrs
to come.

In what sho had lalled for her fllance
seemed to grow more distantly ab

homesick yearning for the restful at
mosphere of the country she know, for
the long walks through tho silent
places where she could think serious
ly or And herself again. For Janey
realized that-her life of lute had been
but profitless effort to learn the part
Htie would be expected to play. In the
future, and In sickness of heart she
wondered If she would be utile to qtv

Frankly but with u tremulous cutch

"But you used to tell me," he said

That Is why, after I had bought tho
farm, intending to make It my head

"Could you be hnppy with me out

go back with mo dear, to the farm?"
Through tears Janey Btnlled at lilra.

' "Why?" asked the other.
"Because," said the pen pusher, "my

current of air like a fan."
"A mere nothing," said number two.
"I always have to report on wet pa

Use for Rat Skins.
Kxlilhitlntr the cured skin of n brown
rat, the veterinary inspector of New
castle, Eng., has pronounced such
skins superior to the linings found In
somo expensive coats. The difficulty
In creating a ratskln Industry appears
to be 'the uncertain source of supply;

would be nn incentive for destroying
tho rnts that now constitute so serious

need not lie wasted, as they form suit
able food for pigs, poultry nnd dogs.

"I made a terrible break today."

"Yes; You know I went to Lillian's

"Yes."
"Well, the other day I met Lillian

SPECIALISTS IN HUMAN ILLS
Some More or Less Sage Reflections
on the Subject of Diseases and
Their Treatment.
Dentists now cure rheumatism, dys
pepsln, kidney trembles, sore eyes nnd
corns by pulling, filling or otherwise
maltreating the teeth. Stomach spe
cialists relieve toothache by treating
tho digestion, Ileudachcs have noth
ing to do with the head, except to
mako It hurt; the seat of their opera
tions Is In the stomach or liver. The
whole body seems to be merely a eys-
' tern of Interlocking directorates, tho
Philadelphia Ledger comments.
Why, then, one is inclined to ask, do
we have specialists? If tho functions
of the body, instead of being a system
of such complete entanglements and
inter-relations from head to foot, were
really divided up Into watertight com
partments, then specinllstic treatment
would Indeed be Indicated.' In that
caso euch specialist would have his
awn compartment to look after, with
a sign upon the membrane which
marks tho entrance to his domain,
"Trespassers will be prosecuted." But
what are you going to do with u body
in which nephritis Is directly caused by
nn ulcerated tooth which the dentist
hasn't discovered, nnd tho legs swell
up and becomo useless becauso there
is an unlocatcd Intestinal kink? It
would really seem thnt before a mun
is fitted to operate as a specialist on
any part of the body ho must have
specialized a while ever every other
part of It so that the East side doc
tor's sign, "Specialist in All Diseases,"
need not bo regarded as so absurd
after all. Tho first qualfflcatlon of a
good specialist Is to be an all-around
physician.
But at present the dentist has the
advantage over all other specialists.
Give him a chance to pull out every
tooth In your head nnd you will bo do
llvorcd forever from Brlght's disease,
rheumatism, pleurisy, liver complaint,
nourltU, pyelitis, and virtually every
other kind of dlscnso. But what will
tho dentist do when he haB drawn
everybody's tooth?
FLYERS TO HUNT OUTLAWS
Cotton Plantations Planted In Defiance
of Authority Seen Easily
From the Air.
The department of agriculture has
adapted the alrplano to its needs, and
plans to have a large fleet of ma
chines to serve the farmer, lumberman
and" orchnrdlst during the nest six
months, according to an announcement
from Washington recently, says tho
San Francisco Chronicle. The ma
chines will be used to find forest fires,
map out forest and other surveys and
to act as detectives to find outlaw
cotton planters in Texas, Arizona nnd
southern California.
Lieutenant Compere nt Ellington n
year ago investigated the cotton situ
ation. Owing to danger of nn inva
sion of pink bollworm from Mexico it
wns necessary to create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw plnnters in
lnnd surrounded by heavy forests have
defied the government and planted in
these districts, which aro difficult to
find. The young Callfornlnn took a
camera with him, cruised over the for
ests at a 7,000-foot altitude, and
snapped seven outlaw fields. The
fields were destroyed. Compere has
been released from service nnd will
soon return to California to organize
the agricultural aviation scout work on
this coast.
Find a Moth Exterminator.
Experiments of the bureau of ento
mology, United States department of
agriculture, have demonstrated that
naphthnleno is uniformly effective in
protecting woolens from clothes moth
infection and. in killing all stages of
tho insect. A red cedar chest readily
killed all adult moths nnd showed con
siderable killing effect upon young
larvae. It did not prevent the hatch
ing of eggs, but killed all the result
ing larvae almost Immediately. Rod
cedar chips and shavings, while not en
tirely effective in keeping tho adnU
moths from laying eggs on the flannel
treated, eppenred to protect It from
appreciable damage when used lib
erally. Des Moines Register.
Insisted on' Showing His Patriotism.
Ho wns full of patriotism, was tho
elderly man walking up Stnto street
the other evening, and It Is possible
that nn unprejudiced observer might
have suspected that ho had taken'
something else aboard during the
hours just past. At any rate, he wns
most pntrlotlc and the sight of a sturdy
doughboy gladdened his wandering
eyes. Tho boy was acting ns convoy
to two maidens fair and wasn't par
ticularly anxious to be sorted out for
hero decoration at thnt moment, but
the elderly man was not to bo de
nied. He took off his cap with a flour
ish worthy the days of chivalry ho
loudly proclaimed his everlasting ob
ligation and appreciation of the coura
geous soldiery that saved the world;
he Insisted on shaking hands, not once
but thrice at least, with the young
mnn whom he cnlled "Tir saver of th'
country" anil he looked nt tho girls
as If he thovght his patriotism, ex
pressed nnd partially understood, en
titled hlra to an introduction to them.
