AT HIS PERIL
By JACK LAWTON.
Billy turned Ills cur Into tin unfre
quented road, und wont speeding up
the hill. This afternoon's drive wiih
nn nlmless one. Billy felt bored and
nlmloss himself. To have a .Sittiirduy
half-holiday In which to amuse one's
clf and then to 11 ml nothing umuslng,
was n predicament.
IJllly wondered what was the matter
with him anyway. Golf, and the Coun
try cluh fnlled to entertain. Young
women of his acquaintance seemed nil
at once Insipid. .Shows held no
'charm. What possessed him 7
Impatiently he usked himself the
iquestlon, and as If In mocking answer
Icainc flashing memory of a certain
girl's witching face. IJllly hud passed
ithls girl dnys ago In the city park, Sho
'had been learning to run n little road
ster, and his prolonged and Interested
pcrutlny was overlooked by Its object.
'IJllly envied the Instructor. Thereafter
ha found himself feverishly speculat
ing ns to the personality of this brond
nhouldered confident fellow. He might
be a brother for his nmtter-of-fnet ac
ceptance of his position, or a hus
band. Billy dlwilssod the husband
Idea he didn't like It. Because her
eyes reminded him of Nutalle Burke,
he took Natalie to the theater that
evening and was disappointed.
Natnlle's upward glance was very
different from that of the other girl
with her lashed lids. Billy couldn't
set this girl out of his head, and his
was a practical, well-balanced head,
at that. Then, Just as her pretty fea
tures were beginning to haunt him
less Billy ran across the girl again In
tho lobby of a theater.
For one brentldess moment htr eyes
met Ills steadily as, recklessly he drew
near, she vanished through a doorway
nnd was lost In the theater crowd.
That It would have availed him noth
ing, had he found her, lessened Billy's
disappointment not a bit. He had read
in books of these violent fancies, nnd
had scoffed at their Impossibility. Yet,
now, as ho rode along, the girl's face
eeemed to laugh at him, beckoning on
ward. Billy frowned; also he drew up ab
ruptly before n looming sign. "Dan
gerous," warned the sign. "Proceed
at Your Own Peril."
Billy's frown changed to n grin,
litre wus a venture at least suited to
his mood.
"Sounds like a black-hand com
munication," ho muttered, as his cur
rattled over the railroad ties, continu
ing up the narrow path through a new
cut way.
"Proceeding nt his own peril"
proved but monotonous nfter all. Vari
ous trees alteririted their lines upon
cither side, while the rough solitary
road stretched ever above. At the first
chance of turning he decided to re
verse, and come back down the trull.
But as he glimpsed a widening space
above, ho saw that unother venture
(tome one had been before him, and
had como to grief!
A small car blocked the opening
while u figure bent over Its uncovered
engine. As the figure strnlghtoned nt
his approach, Billy gasped In surprise
and drew up with a Jar, for It was
the vision girl who looked back nt
him across her disabled ear.
Billy was at her side Immediately,
boredom already far away.
"Can I," ho asked eagerly, "bo of
assistance?"
fThe girl's dnrk eyes were troubled.
"Will you be so kind as to look this
tiling ovcrV" she asked. "You can't
believe how relieved I was to see some
.one coming. I have Just learned to run
fthe car und It was Idiotic to bring It
up this way. But " she paused.
"Didn't you read the warning sign?"
Billy asked.
The girl nodded her adornblo head.
.. "I couldn't seem to turn the car
around," she confessed. Billy luughod.
"So you hod to keep on going?"
The girl's laughter mingled with his.
' "Yes," she said. Already he was
;bendlng over the machine, It appeared
,to be In perfect order. Thcro was no
reason why the car might not start ut
once on Its downward trip. Still Billy
.lingered. Somo verse about "Never
.the time, the place, nnd the girl al
together," flashed through his brain.
JlTero was his golden hour and ho
inieant to keep It. So Billy briskly
opened the tool box, tinkering lightly
!nround the engine, while the wonder
Iful girl sat on the grass nearby, ar
ranging flowers sho had gathered.
Billy lounging over the car and tho
girl gazing Idly nt her flowers, talked
.of many things, while Billy's heart
eang tho while.
"You'll have to lot mu lend the
way down," ho said, "nnd superintend
your return. I shan't feel that I've
done my duty either, until l'vo left
you safely nt your own door."
"All right," tho girl agreed. She
seated herself In tho roadster.
It wus a slow and circuitous route
which Billy led. At sight of tho Riga
ho puused nt last abrouptly.
"I understand the thing now," ho
mused. "Ought to post them overy
whore you go."
"Dangerous," read 'Billy. "Proceed
nt your own porll." Ills eyes sought
hers meaningly,
"I did," he suld.
"Did whatr asked tho girl.
"Proceeded to my own peril' said
Billy. He slghqd.
"Really?" nsked tho girl. Sho smiled
and In that smile, Billy found his
promise.

CONSIDER GIFT HIGH HONOR
Comparatively Few Persons Are Pre
sented With the "Freedom of
the City of London."
i i
Tho freedom of the city of London,
with which the prince of Wales was
presented recently, Is one of the most
cherished nnd ancient of civic priv
ileges. The actual document given to
his royal highness Is a piece of parch
ment Inscribed with his names and
titles nnd guaranteeing to him and his
descendants many privileges to which
he would not otherwise be entitled.
Thus he will not have to pay a tnx on
any goods brought within the city
gates, nor will he have to render naval
or military service. Should ho full on
evil lines the prince of Wales would be
entitled to pecunlnry aid. Should he
In the course of years pnss awuy, leav
ing children, the city chamberlain
would educnte them and administer
their property until they arrive at
years of maturity. It Is usual to In
close tho "freedom" In a gold casket,
which costs the city 100 ($500), but
the certificates, in the case of the
prince of Wales, will be In n frame
nnd the casket will bo represented by
sliver plate. In the case of General
Booth the casket was of simple, sturdy
oak.
Thermometer Trade to U. S.
With adequuto labor American man
ufacturers of thermometers, besides
being able to supply fully the wants
of the domestic trade, are In a position
to build up a good export business,
but, as Is the case In so ninny indus
tries, they are handicapped at present
by tho shortage of skilled workers.
The making of thermometers Is mostly
n hand process, with a year's expe
rience or more necessary for the de
velopment of n skilled worker.
Starting In the war period, when
German goods were shut out of the
country, the American thermometer
Industry hits shown marked advance
ment. Before the war Germany eon
trolled the market here ns well no
those In other countries, but nearly all
of the business formerly held by Ger
many In South America bus been pro
cured by concerns In tho United
States. It Is not believed that Ger
many will regain her position In the
domestic market, und much of the
South Amerlcun business, It Is pre
dicted, will bo held by the Amerlcun
tnnnufaeturers. Now York Tribune.
Fascinating Ukulele.
Many people, even now, may think
of the ukulele as a Russian province,
or an eastern title, yet It happens to
be neither, but u small musical Instru
ment which, nccordlng to a writer In
tho London Dally Chronicle, recently
bnflled the experience even of the
customs ninn, who refused to recog
nize It as such and permitted its entry
Into England free of dity. The Utile
South sea ukulele Is not unlike a "fid
dle thnt you play with your fingers,"
to tho eyo of tho unlt4Utfil, but nil
who hear It admit Its sweetness und
the charm of Its plnlntlve voice, No
doubt one of these dnys England will
become aware of the fascination ot
the ukulele, even ns America has al
ready done. The customs man will
then exact his legitimate toll, and n
strange, wild music will haunt the
Loudon streets.

'FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT
Wartorn Industry Gives Promise of
Great Development in the
Years to Come.
The output of peat In the United
Stntes Inst year far exceeded that of
any preceding yeur anil the gencrnl
Incrcnse, which was stimulated by the
war. was shared by practically nil
branches of the Industry. Though ex
tensively used ns fuel In Europe and
widely known In the United States as
a potential source of heat and powiT,
peat has been tumble to compete with
coal and ninny peat operators have di
rected their attention to the utilization
of peat In agriculture with gratifying
results.
Peat fertilizer was first marketed In
commercial quantities In 1003, nnd
stock-food peat In 1012, nnd though
there Is still some prejudice ngnlnst Its
use the iigrlculturnl branch of the In
dustry hns been successful nnd the
qunntlty of fertilizer and stock-fnnd
peat annunlly produced Is Increasing.
Large quantities of these products
were mndo lost year, but" the most
striking development was the produc
tion of more pent in the Now Englnnd
Stntes thnn hns been manufactured In
the entire United Stntes In nil preced
ing yenrs. Almost equally striking
was the widespread Interest manifest
ed, in peat resources which had been
generally regnrded ns of doubtful
value. '
Lurgc qunntltles of pent or sphag
num moss were produced and utilized
for stable litter, pncklng mnterlol, nnd
surgical dressing, nnd severnl hun
dred thousnnd ncres of pent soils were
used for the growth of crops. The
pent litter wus produced by the own
ers of small hogs for their own use,
but the packing material was sold
to florists for $25 a ton. According
to J. W. Hotson of the Bed Cross
more than hnlf n million pent pads
were prepared In this country for that
organization. Most of the moss was
gathered by volunteers from bogs in
Washington, Oregon and Maine, nnd
the puds were used In military hos
pitals at home and abroad.
TOWNS NOT FATED TO LIVE
Communities East and West, Founded
In High Hopes, Are Now Practl
cally Things Forgotten.
Western pnpers tell their readers
that the town of Emerson, Okln., Is
shortly to be a thing forgotten, re
marks the Hartford CouranL It was
mapped out as a town site shortly
after the territory was opened for set
tlement, and the promoters hud
dreams of a metropolis. In 1007 the
plan wns nbnndoned, nnd now the dis
trict court hns been asked to vacate
the land for town site purposes, when
what might have been a town will be
come farm land.
The story of Emerson suggests what
came near happening to a Connecticut
town In the beginnings of the colony.
Those Interested In It showed rnre
sense In their choice of n site, and In
their drenms planned not for .a town
but for a city. Hampden and Crom
well were to be among Its citizens ; the
cream of Englnnd, so its promoters
hoped, were to become Its citizens.
Fate ordered otherwise, and the early
duys of this dream town nre remem
bered now largely through Lion Gardi
ner's nccount of his struggle to hold
the site ngnlnst the attacks of the In
dians.
Other stntes, notnbly the mining
commonwealths of the West can du
plicate the story from Oklahoma, but
few can equal the romnnee of the Con
necticut settlement.
Village Proud of War Record.
Tho llttlo Norfolk vllluge of Old
Buckingham Is proud of Its war rec
ord. Its total male population be
tween tho ages of eighteen and fifty
in 1014 was 204. Of that number no
fewer than 170 served with tho forces
and 30 have given their lives for their
country.
In their honor u memorlnl cross has
been erected on tho vlllnge green, an
exact reproduction of tho "cross of
sacrlflco" designed by Sir Reglnnld
Bloomileld, R. A., for nil British mil
itary cemeteries ubrond. The totnl
height from the ground line to the
top of the cross is 24 feet 0 Inches.
It Is built of stone nnd Hie names of
those men of tho Vlllnge who fell In
tho war are Incised In gilt on tho drum
below the base of the cross.
Tho sacrifice of Old Buckingham is

Long-Lived Superstition.
Wo wonder whether the Turkish
prisoner who foretold tho end of the
wnr by means of tho shoulder blade of
n sheep hud over read "Glrnldus Cnm-
brensls' Itinerary Through Wales,"
made in tho year 1188.
If so, he would have read In Chap
ter XI "tluit these people (tho Flem
ings of Pembrokeshire), from tho In
spection of tho right shoulders of rams
which havo been stripped of their
flesh, and not roasted but boiled, can
discover future events, or those which
hnvo passed and remained long un
known." A footnote tells us that "this curi
ous superstition is still preserved In
a debased form among tho descend
ants of the Flemish population of this
district, Nvhore the young women prnc
tlco a sort of divination with (he blado
bono of n shoulder of mutton to dis
cover who will bo their swecthenrt.
"It Is still moro curious thnt WUHnin
