"No word from Philip Warren, Dud
ley?" Inquired the wife, Elita, anx
iously us she rocked her fretful babe
in the close, confined quarters of a
,smnll cottage.
"No. Ellta," replied Dudley, with a
deep sigh, resting his head wenrily on
both hnnds, clasping the heavy cane
Jhe carried, n reminder of a crippling
)fall he had received several weeks
previous. "Your brother-ln-luw gave
no heed to ray letters, and when I
spent my last cent to reach his home
'Jie saw me from the window, shut It
down, locked the front door and nev-
fcTErjujyiM" luiai tiui'iiuuii w mi:, ji
jr sorry Ww that we courted this
. Jpilllatlon, believing he would help
s In our distress nnd poverty."
"It Is so unlike him," murmured
Mrs. Vance sorrowfully. "In the old
days when my sister, his wife Myrtle,
was alive, he was the soul of friendly
Interest and generosity."
"What can have so changed him?"
"I can't understand, Dudley, but
from what I have heard, Mr. Warren
has been a perfect recluse since Myrtle
died."
"I don't know what we shall do,"
said Dudley In a broken tone. "It's
the little sick ones that trouble me. I
was so sure Mr. Warren would help
us over this hard place until I am
able to get at work again."
x Philip Warren had fairly idolized

J? resentful towards a close friend
Myrtle before their marriage, fancy
g that Alton Dover had been a rival,
and after Myrtle died would pass Dov
er on the street without even looking
at him.
j Dover had also married In the mean
time, but soon after Myrtle's death
barren discovered several notes Indl
(fating that there was some under
standing between Dover and herself,
ftfr the communications mainly cov
ered appointments for meeting one an
other. It was 'true that they had
been written before Myrtle became his
lfe, but an Insane prejudice against
I over was born In his mind, and the
d read that he had not had the exclu
s ve love of the wife he adored made
tf Phillip Warren a wretched mls
anthrono and hypochondriac. He
Jut his heart against every friend he
id known, Including his sister-in-law
id husband nnd even their little chll-
cl'cn.
The troubled Vance and his wife
,ent over their mlserlesnnd prospects
1 detnil, all unconscious that under
tie shade of a tree Just beyond the
lien window a stranger was lying up-
i the grass. As the baby went to
sep the conversation was hushed
id the loiterer arose and strolled to

'ince appeared nsked for food.
i("There Isn't much, friend," spoke
nnce in nis usual Kinwy wny, "nut
ji'mi are welcome to what there Is,"
liKd he set before his visitor a fru-
but ample meal. ,
Hardy, roustabout tramp, and
petty thief, went his way and
lit all about the Vances until two
jBeks later. His visit, however, was
ijfctlncd to lead to a sequel.
Must occurred to me, Mart," he
,d, "a bit of conversation I over
board at Columbus gives me a ,tlp to
tlC our luck here In this town. There's
fffjpinn named Warren lives all alone
aid I should judge Is a miser, with a
hjuse full of money. Suppose we get
somef It?"
"I'm agreeable," was the prompt re
sifonse, nnd when Philip Warren re

i The High Cost
of Loving
1X1
By SAIDEE ESTELLE COBB
(Capright, Itll, by th W.iUrn New
paper Union.)
"What's the answer?" challenged
Bob Dacre, as he met his friend Earl
Foster coming out of a pawn shop.
The questioner was nnturally umnz
ed, for Foster was the heir presump
tive of John Balrd, a very wealthy
man who was more thnn liberal with
Uie only living relative he seemed to
care for.
"Oh, I was Just getting rid of some
superfluous gewgaws," declared Earl
lightly.
"High cost of living?"
"No, the high cost of loving," cor
rected EurJ, with a slight laugh. "Of
course you know who that harks back
to."
"Miss Ilhoda Foster, of courso"
"You have It right, Bob. Mind
you, I am not charging that sweetest
of earth's sweet creatures with en
couraging any extravagance on my
part, but that self centered uncle of
mine has allowed me tho choice of
giving up Ithodn or his fortune."
"With the result?"
"That I am going to work out my
destiny along new lines. I, of course,
took n manly, independent course and
I hope Ilfioda will sustain me in It
I thanked Uncle John for all Ills past
consideration, walked out of the house
nnd have just financed myself for an
Initial struggle with the cold, hard
world."
"But Rhodn?"
"I have written her that when I can
prove to myself that I can earn my
own living, we shall resume our en-,
gagenient. I hope and believe she will
be true blue."
"So much so," replied Dacre, with
a spice of Indignation, "that if you
leave her without saying what you
have written if looks like the basest
desertion l"
But Earl had his own Ideas, nnd
disdained counsel. He swelled up rath
er proudly as he remarked:
"I've borrowed enough to give me
a fnrm outfit, and it's overalls nnd
early rising from now on. Fortunate
ly I met an old furmer, Rufus Dayton
of Warrenton. He offers me a kind
of managerial position on his farm.
I leave tonight for the rustic grind
and I mean to mnke a success of it."
Which Earl seemed to have done by
the end of a month. If he missed the
elegant leisure of luxury he gave no
sign of It He made friends with ev
erybody nbout the place. He became
Interested In farming as a science.
and sat up In his room nights and
pored over books dealing with Inten
sive methods of cultivation and the
like.
It was well onto the second month
of his apprenticeship when one eve
ning, as he chanced to look up from
the book he was perusing, through the
open window about 50 feet away, half
screened by some shrubbery, he mnde
out an unfamiliar figure. He dis
cerned that It was that of a woman,
Judging from her garb, and although he
could not distinguish the features he
wns sure that her eyes were fixed up
on the lighted room in which he sat.
The figure vanished and he thought
no more of it until two evening Inter,
when the snme appearance wns man
ifested. For fully half an hour Earl lingered
In his covert He was nbout to aban
don his vigil when the swish of light
garments swept the grnss and a grace
ful, girlish form stood silhouetted
against the streaming light from the
window. Its pose was that of a per
son closely observing n certain point
of Interest, his room. Thither the fix
ed glance of the Intruder wns vividly
. fixed, there could be no mistake as to
that, and Earl marvelled, crept near
er, suddenly reached out nnd pinioned
the two nnns of the mysterious visi
tor from behind, with the shnrp chal
lenge. "What arc you doing here?"
There wns n fluttering feminine
shriek as the Intruder faced about.
Earl's hands fell, to his side, he fairly
reeled with amazement.
"Rhodn!" he cried.
"Oh, Earl. I had to do it!" walled
the loved one. "I have not seen you
for weeks," and then as she tottered he
steadied her In his arms, and kept
her there. She was sobbing hysteri
cally, but she clung to him In a fer
vor of Joy.
"I have Just spoiled all," whimpered
Rhodn. "and Uncle John will scold
me terribly because both of us were
to come to. the farm tomorrow and
explain."
"Uncle John, explain," uttered the
bewildered Earl.
"Yes," spoke Rhodn, "you see, we
have been staying at the Waldon
plnce for a week. Uncle John came
to me as soon ns you went nway and
told me how to try you out. He was
going to pretend you must give me up.
Then. If you still insisted you would
never cease to love me, that would
prove you was worth having for a
husband,' and If you went to work It
would show you was the right sort.
And ho Is so delighted at the splendid
way you have made good, and I am
so proud of you that, If It pleases you,
he will buy us the best farm in the
district."
"A pair of merciless plotters," ral
lied Earl. "How dare you look me In
the face" after such a confession."
"I won't," answered Rhodn meekly,
nnd nestled her pretty head closa p
on Earl's shoulder.
WORDS TOO OFTEN CONFUSED
Excellent Point Made In Emphasis of
Difference Between "Training"
and "Education."
The difference between training nnd
education was well expressed by Dr.
C. Stuart Gnger In his address to the
graduating class of the whool of hor
ttculturo for women, when he said :
"Cloth would bo spun on hand looms
today had no other factor been Intro
duced Into spinning thnn the Instruc
tion of daughters by mothers. Tills
kind of Instruction does not mnke for
progress; It can never convert a trnde
Into a profession. The spinning Jenny
wns not Invented by n spinner, nor the
wireless telegraph by n telegraph
operator, nor the science of agronomy
by practical farmers.
"Progress depends upon n fullness
of preparation exceeding the limits of
anticipated requirement In practice.
That Is why I have never liked the
phrase 'teachers' training class.'
Horses may be trained, and a well-
trained horse mny bo depended on to
do accurately anil promptly tho tricks
thnt are taught htm. But place him in
a new situation or confront him with
n new problem or nn old one Borae
whnt altered and you may then learn
clearly nnd easily the difference be
tween training and education." Mont

Life Without Microbes.
Microbes are not Indispensable to
ill life If they are Indispensable to
any. The question has been definite
ly settled, It 1b claimed by some au
thorities. A cage completely sterilized at 00
degrees was made and the openings of
the cage closely stopped with cotton
and protected from the outside by a
hermetically closed metallic chamber.
Such manipulations as were necessary
In opening the cage were made by
hands guarded by aseptic rubber cloth.
Into such sterilized cage three hens'
eggs were placed after having been
externally sterilized. The cage was
fitted with a glass pavilion or chicken
run, where the chickens could develop
during their six weeks' sojourn In tho
cnge. In tho cage were sterilized air,
pure water, sterilized sand and steri
lized feed.
The experiments showed that Ufa
does not depend upon microbes, but
that the vital work of tho organism
Is easy nnd natural when everything
is sterilized.
I
Despised Wares.
Seeing that I cannot choose nny sub

cause my predecessors have already

necessary themes, I will do like one
who, because of his poverty, Is the
Inst to arrive at the fair, and not be
ing able otherwise tj provide himself,
chooses all the things which' others
have already looked over and not
taken, but refused as being of little
value. With these despised and re
jected wares the Ipnvlngs of many
buyers I will lond my course, distrib

cities, but among the meuii hamlets,

Date Tree Rightly Prized.
To the Arab the date treo Is the
perfection of beauty and utility. Ev
ery part of this tree has Its use to him.
The pistils of the date blossom con
tain a fine curly fiber, which Is benten
out and usod In all eastern buths as a
sponge for sonplng the body. At the
extremity of the trunk Is a terminal
bud containing a white substance re
sembling nn almond in consistency
and taste, but a hundred times ns

There are said to be more thnn 100
varieties of date palm, all distinguish

that a good housewife can furnish her
