HER MISTAKE
By MILDRED WHITE
(Copyright, 1819, AVitrn Newpper Unlop) (
Jnney snt a long while with the let
ter In her hnnd. In fancy she was
..In. .. I.llm.r.il limn
ftluift uvci mill llimaiui
since she hml met Hobert nnd the
tenor of her life hnd been forever
changed. Before that, It wns nn un
eventful routine.
But nftcr Robert's advent, tmreHt
hud stirred within her, nnd dissatis
faction with life's simple liomcllncss.
Robert Tabor, city business man, hnd
bought as an Investment, the great
1 farm near Janey's home, nnd when
the caretaker had been duly Installed,,
- .. ...i. i i .i 1 . it.A
Jtoueri xaoor came oik la iwuk wic
place over. So pleased nnd Interested
was he, thnt he lingered for weeks,
seeking and finding hospitality In
Jnney's homo
It hnd never been her opportunity to
hear ut first hand of remote wonder
ful parts of the world, for this en
caging man from tho city had traveled
and learned much. It wns a never
ceasing dqllght to ride over the farm
lands, la his swift running .cur, or to.
drive at his sldo In a light carriage
through tho narrower paths.
Jnney's guardian aunt was quite
willing thnt this should be so, she
had no wish to keep Jancy forever at
her side. All at onco Janey Had been
ashamed of the simple cut of her
home-wnda frocks, her luck of knowl
edge of tht ways of the great outside
"world. ... -
$r "J "want to go to the city," she con
fided to her new friend. "I want to
leorn to bo llko them."
"Clothes you mean?" Itobert Tabor
had asked, amused.
"Clothes, manners, everything,"
Jnney dcclnrcd.
' The mint, much persuaded, nrrnnged
with an old friend In tho city to have
Jancy. visit her there, nnd Itobert ns
both now called him continued kind
with his attentions. In his care
Janey visited restaurants, opera, thea
ters ; with htm she had driven through
thebeniitlful parks.
I "Oh I -how I love It nil I" she said.
Home seemed' very dull nfterwnrd.
Robert's visits to his form were the
only bright spots, and as fall drew
near and theso visits threatened to
cense, Juncy grew wan In apprehen
sion. yith tho harvest moon looking down
upon them, glorifying their rudlnnt
faces -Itobert had nsked Janey to
marry him and she had consented.
Itobert wanted her, he longed for
her and despotic business held him
tied In tlio city. Would' she come for
fa yjklt to his married sister's home?
. Would she come?
In n fever of Joyful antidilution
Jnney rushed to her aunt's room to
begin preparation. Hobert wns pale
nnd worried lookfiig when he met her
at the' station; Absently he glanced
over tho modish suit and, hat which
had cost her aunt a forbiddingly ex
travagant price.
In the brllllnnt .gathering which his
sister generously urranged for Jnney
her fear grow, at his gloomy abstrac
tion. This taciturn man was n differ
ent person certainly from the Joyously
enthusiastic muster of tho farm. And
Robert's sister hud nssured Jnney
thnt she Heed 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'K eyes across the roses heap
ed between them, Jnney saw u shadow
there.
"You like all this, don't you?" Rob
ert asked.'
"So much," she agreed, ever eager
to please.
Futllely she nsked herself euch night
In whut sho hud failed for her fllunce
seemed to grow more distantly ab
sorbed. Suddenly Jnney longed with
homesick yearning for the restful at
mosphere of the country she knew, for
the long wulks through tho silent
places where she could think serious
ly or find herself nguln. For Janey
realized tliut-hcr life of late had been
but profitless effort to learn the part
f4io would bo expected to play. In the
future, and In sickness of heart she
wondered If she would be able to car
ry thnt weary prirt through with Rob
ert nlwnys unnpproclutlve nt her side.
Frunkty but with u tremulous catch
In "her voice, Jnney td him one day
her problem: v
"I don't seem to lit In Robert," sho
said, "no mutter how hard I try. I'm
a disappointment to you, I feel It.
Take me buck to tho quiet place that
I best know, ntid leave me there."
Unbelieving, her lover stared into
her face.
"But you used to tell me," he said
"that you longed for tho life of a city l
That is why, nftcr I had bought the
farm, Intending to make It my head
quarters, that I returned again to tho
business world, for your sake, Janey,
because you Suld you loved gaycty.
My youthful years have been crowded
full" of work and enre. It wns my
dream that In early success I might
find leisure, nguiu to enjoy thoso
things thut I loved as a boy. But
without your presenco I ennnot now
enjoy anything.
"Could you be happy with me ou
there Janey? When tired of fields and
meadows, we would travel. Could you
go back with mo dear, to the farm?"
Through tears Jnney smiled nt him.
"Why Robert," she said, "It will be
Just like going straight bnck to Paradise."
Wiping Out Predatory Animal
During 1018 hunters of the Vnlted
States depnrtment of ngrlflulturc killed
83 gray wolvos In New Mexico, 34
mountain lions, in stock-destroying
henrs, 1.800 coyotes, nnd SCO bobcats,
we are told. Thoo animals were
killed ut total cvpotise of $2-1,800,
and the saving ofrected by their de
struction, m the IihhIs conjftlonl.v no
cepted by stockmen. nmfHln'Js to $215,
0."0 annually. Hunting during the
spring period dotroys innHy young,
and thus prevents Increase!, Many
coyotes not ncrounted for, la the fig
ures given were destroyed by poison.
The killing of these anlmitls nmrks n
long stride In extermination of grny
wolves and othCr predatory- animals,
nnd the saving is cumulative for years
to come.
Pass the Saltli
Two reporters were boasting of the'
speed of their shorthand writing,
"Whenever I nm reporting at a meet
ing on n warm evening, nil the people
try to get nenr to my table.
' "Why?" asked the other.
"Because," suld the pen pusher, "my
hnnd goes so fast that It creates a
current of nlr like u fun."
"A mere nothing," snld number two.
"I nlwnys hnve to report on wet pn
per, or else the current of nlr cuused
by the movement of my hnnd would
blow It nwny. Besides tho pnper hns
to bo wetted every few minutes, be
cause the friction caused by the rapid
movements of my arm would set flro
to it In no time."
Use for Rat 8klns.
Exhibiting the cured skin of a brown
rat, the veterinary Inspector of New
castle, Eng., hns pronounced such
skins superior to the linings found In
some oxncnslvc couts. The difficulty
I in creating a rutskln Industry appears
r tn lin'ftin nnportnln sotirco of SUUnlv:
but tho demand thnt would bo aroused
would be an Incentive for destroying
tho rats thnt now constitute so serious
a plugue. The bodle's of tho animals
need not lie wasted, us they form suit
able food for pigs, poultry nnd dogs.
Didn't Know the Groom'.
"I mndc a terrible break today."
"That so?" n
"Yes. You know I went to Lillian's
wedding."
"Yes."
"Well, the other day I met Lillian
on the street, and I didn't .recognize
the man with her as the groom."

SPECIALISTS IN HUMAN ILLS
Some More or Less Sage Reflections
on the Subject of Diseases and
Their Treatment.
Dentists now cure rheumatism, dys
pepsia, kidney troubles, sore eyes nnd
Corns by pulling, filling or otherwise
mnltrentlng the teeth. Stomach spe
cialists relieve toothache by treating
tho digestion. Headaches 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 sys-
' tern of Interlocking directorates, the
Philadelphia Ledger comments.
Why, then, one Is Inclined to ask, do
we hayo specialists? If the functions
of tho 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 spcclallstlc treatment
would Jndced be Indicated.' In that
case each specialist would have his
own compartment to look after, with
a sign upon the membrane which
marks tho entrance to his domain,
"Trespassers will be prosecuted." But
What nro you going to do with a body
in. which nephritis ts directly caused by
an ulcerated tooth which the dentist
hasn't discovered, nnd tho legs swell
up and become useless becauso there
Is an unlocnted Intestinal kink? It
would really seem thnt before a man
Is fitted to operate ns a specialist on
any part of the body ho must have
specialized a while aver every other
part of It so that tho East side doc
tor's sign, "Specialist In All Diseases,"
need not be regarded as so absurd
after all. Tho first qualification of a
good specialist Is to be nn 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

rheumatism, plourlay, liver complaint,
neuritis, pyelitis, and virtually every
other kind of disease. But what will
the dentist do when ho has drawn
everybody's tooth?
FLYERS TO HUNT OUTLAWS
Cotton Plantations Planted In Defiance
of Authority Seen Easily
From the Air.
Tho department of agrlculturo has
adapted he airplane to Its needs, nnd
plans to hnve a large fleet of ma
chines to serve the farmer, lumberman
and orclmrdlst during tho next six
months, according to an announcement
from Washington recently, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Tho ma
chines will be used to find forest fires,
map out forest and other surveys and
to net as detectives to find outlaw
cotton planters In Texas, Arizona nnd
southern California.
Ltcutcnnnt Compere nt Ellington n
year ngo Investigated the cotton situ
ation. Owing to danger of an Inva
sion of pink bollworm from Mexico It
was necessary to create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw planters In
lnnd surrounded by heavy forests have
defied the government and plnuted hi
these districts, which nro difficult to
find. Tho young Cnllfornlnn took a
camera with him, cruised over tho for
ests nt a 7,000-foot altitude, and
snnppcd seven outlaw fields. The
fields were dostroyed. Compere has
been released from service nnd will
soon return to California to orgnnlze
the agricultural aviation scout work on
this coast.

Ho wns full of patriotism, wns tho
elderly man walking up State street
the other evening, nnd It Is possible
that an unprejudiced observer might
have suspected that he had taken'
something else aboard during the
hours Just past. At any rate, he was
most patriotic and the sight of a sturdy
doughboy gladdened his wandering
eyes. Tho boy was acting as convoy
to two maidens' fair and wasn't par
ticularly anxious to bo sorted out for
hero decoration at thnt moment, but
the elderly man wns not to be de
nied. He took off his cap with a flour
ish worthy the days of chivalry he
loudly proclaimed his everlasting ob
ligation and appreciation of tho coura
geous soldiery that saved tho world;
ho insisted on shaking hands, not once
but thrice at least, with the young
man whom he called "Th saver of th'
country" nnd he looked at the girls

pressed aud partially understood, en
titled him to an introduction to them.
