PFEIFFER (Copyright, 1919. by the WaiUrn News paper Union.) "It will have to be Uncle Durlus this time, then, Norma, dear," spoke Mrs. Burton. "We lire not by any menns at poverty's door, but we can hardly afford the outfit and other expense of Cape Bay trip." "It would be a sinful waste, momma," declared the daughter. "I was so bored with affected ladles of ftshlon and posers and spooners among the men last season that I was glad when I got home again." Mrs. Burton was no maneuvering mother, but the world had taught her many practical lessons. The Burtons had always held their heads high In a social way. They had been particular and exclusive In their selection of friends, and when Norma was eighteen drew the lines still more rigidly. It was with a faultless and tactical chaperon that Norma had passed a sea son at Cape Bay. Proposals came to her Innumerable, but she had only laughed at the Idea of marriage and had returned home heart free. "Why not Uncle Darius, mamma?" Norma Inquired artlessly, and her mother at first held up her hands In dismay. "Norma," she said, "don't you know that he is as poor as a church mouse? He fills a very In ferior position, I learn, with a rail road. He and my sister have absolute ly receded from any social prestige, and you will vegetate In the dead town where they barely subsist.' "I can't help it," replied Noimn. "I took a great liking to both of them when they visited us three years ago." It was a relief to Norma, after her mother had finally acquiesced In her plans, to pack up sensible attire and anticipate how she could run to her htmri's desire away from the burden some exactions of fashion and society. She arrived at Brocton after dnrk, and certainly the single block of down town stores, the solitary railway shops, the little house and the unllghted and unpaved streets did not look very In viting. Plnln, homespun Uncle Darius piloted the way to a llttle'old cottage of four rooms not 500 feet from the depot. "I don't know how you will manago to put In the time, dear," said Aunt Mary. "You see, we lost the old home stead and had to move to humbler quarters, and Darius has been olillged to tnke a position as signal man at the Main street crossing." There were woods nntl lakes noar the little town, and Norma did riot find any oppressive dullness. She took plensure in spelling Uncle Darius' at his task. There was a little shed at the crossing, and Norma liked to sit there with the old man listening to quaint tnles of his long life experi ence. Whenever a train was coming he had the conventional sheet metal sign bearing the ominous command "Stop I" which he would wave to warn approaching vehicles and pedestrians. One day Norma noticed a sinister vls nged man hanging around the depot, and several times when trains arrived he wandered up and down the tracks as though expecting somebody. She never forgot the morning when No. 0 passenger reached the depot. She was on hand with the "Stop" sig nal and waving it to halt an approach ing farmer's wagon, when a young man stepped off the rear platform of the last car, a light satchel in his hand, and started to cross the tracks In the direction of the car shops, ne hud not proceeded ten feet when from behind n pile of tics there sprang before him the sinister appearing lurker. With a piece of iron covered with a handker chief ho dealt the newcomer a blow that drove him prostrate, tore the satchel from his hand nnd darted for ward across the tracks. Norma waB startled, shocked, but she at once real ized the object of the assailant of the man was robbery. She acted on Im pulse. As the thief passed her she swung the heavy stop signal. It came squarely down upon the hend of the fugitive, driving him off his feet. Nor ma seized the satchel he had dropped, flung It Into the shelter shed, nnd, darting back to where the miscreant lay, menoced him anew with her strange weapon as he weakly essayed to regain his feet, meantime shouting to some track men at a distance for as sistance. The young man despoiled was car ried to the Jlttle house where he lay un til a doctor arrived. Ko had received a bod cut In the head, hut In a few hours was able to proceed on his way. It developed that he was the presi dent of the road, and the satchel which he was carrying when assailed con tained the pay roll of the car shops. Percy Cleveland stopped at the lit tle cottage on his way back to the depot. His bright eyes flashed ad miration for the lovely heroine who had saved tho company n goodly sum. A week later he mndo a second visit to Normo, this tlnio In his, automobile, aud after that he became a regulnr triweekly visitor to the car shops, and, Incidentally, the little homo. When Norma Burton returned to her own home and her mother noticed tho engagement ring, Norma Hushed de llclou.sly nnd modestly told the nnme of her fiance. Her father opened his eyes to their widest, as he realized that his artless little track woman had made "the catch of the season," as he expressed It proudly to a close friend.

Aroused Greed of Conquerors and Drought Only Bondage and Misery to the People. Mexico hns produced a steady stream of silver-ever since hU conquest by Cortoz in 1510. But- while the supply seemed Inexhaustible, It brought more misery than happiness to the nation, in the opinion of tho Salt Lake Trib une, becauso It afforded the Incentive to bring conquerors to Us shores to en slave the people. The Spaniards robbed and enslaved tho Aztecs to control the sliver supply. They blotted out n semi-barbarous civilization that had built great Irri gation systems, mnsslve temples nnd beautiful cities, and tho once proud nnd linppy people were placed under the yoke for four centuries. An nlmost uncanny gift In ferreting out the big silver deposits was pos sessed by the Spanish governors. The cost of gunpowder was so high, though, that only, the richest finds were worked. Only ore thnt produced over 100 ounces of sliver to the ton was mined. It Is said that tho owner of the Qulntecn mine, In the Alamos dis trict, n Senor Alnmada, on the mar riage of his daughter, lined the bridal chamber of the palaclo with bars of silver nnd paved the way to the church with tho metal. Large profits arc mndo from demol ishing some of tho old houses In tho Chihuahua district, and reducing the material In them for silver. Tho nn tlves who built them used to use the run of mine slag. In the absence of cheaper building material, and much valuable ore went Into tho buildings. BLACKLEG GERM FREE AGGRESSIN 25c A DOSE.. One dose immunizes the calf for life.

WELCOMED AS RIGHT SORT TAX EXPERTS LOSING SLEEP KEEP KNOCKED-OUT TEETH Dentist Can Replace Then In Mouth So That They Will Soon Give Good Service. When one's front teeth nre knocked out there Is- no need to leave them on the floor, for they can be reinserted very well by n good dentist Dr. II. M. Savery tells In the Lancet (London) of two cases In which the teeth were completely dislocated from their sock ets. In one ense the teeth were placed In salt water while ttio dentist cnrcfully wnshed out the sockets. Then they were reinserted, n stitch or two placed In the gums and tho jaws were ban daged shut so thnt the (teeth bit on n pad of lint. In tho other ense tho teeth still hung to the gums, so the sockets wcro cleaned out without de tnchlng the teeth. In both cases the teeth became sol idly fixed and the patients could use them for normal biting n few months after tho accident. Dr. C. Do Witt Henry ? New York replnced not long ago the teeth of a truck driver that had been knocked out In n collision. The man had pick ed his teeth from the gutter and run up to the dentist's ofllce carrying them in his hand. W.

Convicts form tho teams, and while there Is some diffi culty In getting one to act as umpire, tho games usually aro pulled off In good stylo. A visitor from South Bend was at tho nrlson ono dnv when a came was scheduled, and being a former Win player It was suggested that he put on the prison uniform and get Into the gnmo "Incog" nnd put a little profes sional "pep" into it.

Violet seas under deep skies and dotted on the horizon from Qulbcron to Belle Isle tho red sails of the Brit tany fishing boats. Along this stretch of the Atlantic coast red sails huve been Known immeniorlally. They ex isted In. Caesar's time. In the "Com mentaries" occurs the remark thnt the people of the coast made their sails of tanned skins sewn together. Either they had no flax or did not understand Its use, but the more likely reason In Caesar's opinion was that they knew no ordinary sail would stand against the ocean winds, owing to the great weight of their boats. In time tho Breton fisherman, exchanged his heavy boat for a lighter one and then he hoisted the canvas sail. Different In texture to when Caesar conquered Gaul, the salla of tho Fljilsterre seas aro of the same tawny hue. Tho Bre ton Is the most conservative being In tho world. Tho color of the sails of his forefathers must be tho color of his sails, nnd of those of his son. On this point nobody will bo found to disagree with hliri. Question, "When Is a Girl a Mlso" la Puzzling Bureau of Internal Revenue. . '""" The other day Lew Hahn, executive -secretary of the Natlonnl Itetnll Dry Goods association, took tho Joy out of,, life for the experts of the bureau of Internal revenue when he asked whether corsets were underwear. Now he has gone nnd dono It again, tho' query this time being: "When does a girl become a miss?" Frnmers of the new revenue tax law Included In the list of tnxables "worn- en's and misses' wearing apparel." Ex perts of tho bureau, Mr. Hahn snyB, have Informed retailers that no tax la to be collected on wearing apparel for girls. Retailors say there are hundreds and hundreds of misses, nnd qulto n few married women, who are so petite thnt they can still wear, and therefore buy, girls' clothes. Does the fact that such ' articles of clothing nre to be worn by women of mature years change the na ture of tho apparel In the eyes of the law; or do garments designed for girls . remain girls' wear, rognrdlcss of tho age of those who buy and wear them? This Is the puzzle Mr. ITahn hns put up to the bureau experts. A Waiting Game. "Suppose you wnlt here In this com fortable seat while I match these two samples of ribbon," said Mrs. Slmson cweetly to her husband, who had been entrapped into going shopping with her. When she came back she said con tritely:, "Have I kept you waiting an unpnrdonnble long time, you poor denr?" "Oh. I haven't minded It," he said cheerfully. "I Just jumped on a car and ran up to the football match, and then I took a little spin in .Tack Dance's new car. Did you match tho samples?" "Ono of them. It's so provoking, I shnll have to come In again tomorrow! for they aro Just closing tho shop." London Ideas.
