Her Engage
ment Ring
By MYRTLE LEE
(Copyright, lilt, by lh' Western Nw
paper Union.)
She had the daintiest, most shapely (
hand over soon, and Karle Warren ;
recognized It and (lashed an ndmlrlng i
glanco at the same ns Neva Hurdctte
sat drawing pictures for her little I
nroiucr ami on a rustic tame in me
garden pagoda. There hail been a
lively, merry lawn party, and await- j
Ing tea there wns a breaking up Into
various groups. Unostentatiously I
and from choice Karle had kept nonr
to Miss Hurdctte and her closofrlonds,
Alice and Muriel Dodge, and their es
corts. Neva had been his partner at '
times and It had naturally followed
thnt thoy had remained together.
Little Ned had, however, discovered
somebody's sketch hook, had extracted
some loose blank sheets and was In
sistent that Aunt Neva should am se
him. She portrayed his favorite en
gine and train of cars, n horse, an an
tomohllo nnd an airplane. Karle In
dicated an Interest In this pictorial
display, hut Miss Burdolto told Ned
to hold his collection safe and tight,
objecting to Its presentment on ac
count of alleged crudeness.
' "Just one more sheet," finally an
nounced Ned. "Oh. aunty I won't you
let me draw something for you?"
"Certainly, dear," assented Neva.
Ned spread the sheet on the tabic.
"Now," he said, "I want fo show you
something wo do In school, You
Just spread your hand down tight
over the paper. That's It, Now don't
you move It," und with pride and ac
curacy Ned proceeded to trace the
skeleton outlines of lingers nnd hand
clear to the wrist. Then with satisfac
tion he held It up to her view.
"Isn't that line?" he challenged, ind
Neva smiled her approval, and Just
then some unu called to her from a
group a little distance away, and she
flitted with n conscious (lush ns her
glance- mot that of Karle, betokening
Interest manifestly In all her move
ments. "You can hnve tills. Mr. Warren,
because you're sueli a good friend to
Aunt Nova," observed Httlo Ned gen-
'erously, extending the pencilled sheet.
Then he run nway after n kitten cross
ing tho path! and ICarle casually
scanned the very line outline of the
delicate hnnd of the peerless creatino
of whom hu was Indeed the good
friend,' and secretly bop"d to make
some day a dearer one. Id!y ho took
out his pencil and began uumiUng the
breaks Ned had made In the out
lines. Thu pencil point ernsged the
third finger of the left hnnd nnd rest-
ed there. In a whimsical frame of
mind Karle began to (race a circlet
about the base of that certain linger,
lie smiled to himself as he pleasantly
recalled that Miss Hurdotte wore no
Jewelry, predicting hopefully iltatsho
was heart free. He gemmed the ring
with n very fnlr diamond and started
suddenly as a voice spoke directly at
his car, and there was mlchlof-eyed
Alice Dodge leaning pnst his shoulder,
"Drawing n ring on Nova's linger 1"
fluttered this very clover young wom
an. "Why, and you hnvo given her
an engagoment ring, tool"
"She deserves one," observed Karle
quickly, '
"nobler and holder 1 Oh, I shall
tell her!"
"Walt! wait!" dissuaded Karle, but
tho winsome sprite flashed away with
a tantalizing Inugh.
MIssAlIco did nothing of the kind.
She wns an observant creature and
. practiced as to match-making. It had
boon no task whatever for her to dls-
cover that Neva and Karle were In
love with each other, but that her girl
friend was shy and retiring and the
l,ovor seeking encouragement.
"i snail nurry tilings ulong," ve
hemently declared Alice, and a day or
two later had an opportunity for pine
lug a plan she had formed In opera
Ion. Nova had arranged to give a
party to which all of her friends, In
eluding Karle, had been Invited. Upon
the day preceding It Allco said to her
"Now, Nuvu, dear, you want to shin
your brightest on this occasion. I urn
gong to help you dress for tho event
and here this will emphasize your
magnificence," and she pressed a ring
upon Nova's hand.
' "Oh, no!" demurred Nova Instantly
"Why, you have placed It on the en
Biigeincnt linger 1"
"And aren't you longing like every
other live girl wo know to have one
there to stay?" and Nova blushed her
prettiest. Roth of them met Karle tho
next day as they passed down tho
street. As ho greeted tliom ho no
ticed tho brilliant on Neva's linger.
The purty was nn cnjoynble occasion
to all save the hostess, for Karlo did
not appear, nor did ho coma near the
house for several days later.
, A week after tho party ho mot Nova
on the street. It had been a wretched
seven days for him.
"If you will stop for n moment at
tho Dodge home' while I return to
Alice this ring she loaned to me to
. wear at the party 1 will bo very glad
to accompany you," said Neva.
, The sky bud been cloudy. Just then
the sun came out. Kurle's face had
been grim and anxious. Of a sudden
It slowed with a rapturous Joy.
"A ring from mynelf shall encircle
that fair linger before any one eli
. gels ahead of mo I" ho fervently re
solved, and when those two returned
from tho stroll along tho lake mutual
delight wolled up In their happy
lieurts.
NAVY LIBRARY WORTH VISIT

I The navy library, In the state, waf

In the center of tho largo room, lined
Itli shelves of weighty tomes on mi
ni mnltorH, there In n large and Im
porlnnt green-topped tnblc. Around
his tnhlo sat tho strategic hoard ot
in Spanish-American war. Here also
the naval advisory hoard for tho great
war made their secret plans and ex-
lerlinents. Kdlson, Mu.xlin, Miller and
many others conferred over It, with
the windows carefully darkened and a
guard before tho" door.
The.ro Is n quulnt side to the library,

And of all charming places to havo
an unexpected cup of tea, with a
awcet little lady, this quiet nook

TWO TRAVELERS CAME BACK
According to Army Captain, Mules Re-
turned From That Dim and
Undiscovered Shore.
The regimental morning report is n
fearsome document. On it appear all
the changes in status of men and ani
mals for each preceding -I hours. It
inppened In an Ohio regiment onco
that two mules fell 111 one night. Tho
ctcrlnnrliiii gave his verdict of hope-
ess, and the cnptnJn of the supply
nnipitiiy accordingly made the proper
entry on the morning report : "Two
mules, from duty to dead."
But under the euro of the grizzled
old stable sergeant the mules recov-
red and next morning the captain
found them "alive and kicking. Now,
entries made on the morning report
can never bo erased, which mnde the
situation embarrassing lor the cap
tain. However, he was n man of re
source, and the next day's report car
rled the startling entry: "two muies,
from dead to .duty."
Shrub May Prove Valuable.
Two vears before the war, as the
storv Is told, two Gorman chemists
applied for permission to experiment
with the plan! life on a great semi-nrid
liitich' in central Mexico. Their re
quest .was granted, 'with the under
standing that they furnish a complete
report of their findings, lho two
chemists worked feverishly, and chiefly
on u squat, odorous shrub called "go-
hornndoni," long reputed" to possess
medicinal properties. Suddenly they
disappeared; what they had discover
ed was never known. Now, after ex
periments with this same desert
shrub which they have found In drier
parts of New Mpxlco, chemists of the
United States department of agricul
ture believe that they havu discovered
another alkaloid to add to the list
which already Includes morphine,
quinine and cocaine. Its chemical and
pharmaceutical properties are now un
der Investigation. Popular Mechanics

Trapper's Tomb a Log Cabin.
A humble log cabin which stands In
n trackless forest near Lake Atha
basca, in western Canada, wns once
the home ot a fur trapper, Its builder.
Now It Is a tomb, sheltering tho frozen
body of Its former occupant, who died
there, alone and unaided, nearly two
years ugo. To Investigate the cause of
tho trapper's death, a fearless mem
her of tho royal northwest mounted
police Journeyed to the desolate scene
In midwinter, braving the terrors of
tho wilderness for months before
reaching his objective, situated miles
from railroads and civilization. The
corpse was in a perfect state of pros
ervatlon, due to the eod, dry air, and
was not moved from tho hunk on
which the trapper passed uwny. Pop

An eminent engineer said In our
hearing yesterday that In Italy tho
workers are giving two hours of their
time as a free gift to the state. They

zA Calico Girl
By VICTOR REDCLIFFE
(Copyright, 1010 by tho Tv'.at.rn N.wi
paper Union.)
"Good-by till next year, llttlo.Dorlsl"
hailed Sidney Throop from the old-
fashioned carryall, conveying himself
nnd three fellow vacationers' from
camp to the little railroad depot.
He waved his hand In 'kindly fare
well nt the forlorn Hguro of a girl of
slxteon, Doris Loe, who stood nt the
rustic state of her uncle's home. She
smiled bravely, then turned bur bend
away, and Paul Fnber, at the -side of
Throop, noticing a fluttering handker
chief, remarked :
"I declare! That little sprite la
sorry to have you leave she's cry
ing"
"I am sorry mysfilf," replied Sidney
gravely, "It bus been a plensuro to
know such nn unspoiled child of na
ture." "Sho hasn't been the snme since yes
terday seems to havo avoided the
crowd for some reason or other."
"I can tell you why," piped In nn
other. "She looked positively awed
when Fabcr's sister stopped at the
camp In her automobile. I suppose the
poor little wild flower was stunned nt
the magnificence of the acknowledged
belle ot tho season."
So tho episode passed, but Sidney
Throop sat silent and thoughtful. Their
camp bad been located In close prox
imity to the farm owned by the uncle
of Doris, and It had been her task to
bring fresh milk and cream morning
and evening to the temporary sojourn
ers. An artless, Innocent child, she
had the good fortune to deal with reul
gentlemen, und as the days ran on
grew to regard them as true friends.
"If I am to do the extra chores of
carrying milk and eggs and chickens
to tho picnickers," said Doris to her
uncle the next day, you must allow me
ii little pin money."
"Why not?" Interrogated Mr. Lee
good nnturediy. "Hut I hope seeing
these gay people from the city hasn't
put a lot of vanity Into that sensible
little head of yours."
Kvor since tho dny she had mot the
fushlonnblo Miss Anlce Fnber there
had becomo a model established In the
mind of Doris as to what the real lady
of society should look like.
"I suppose Mr, Thorpe made some
wldo comparisons between that sllk-and-Ince
beauty and humble little me
In calico," mused Doris, and naturally
n trifle bitterly, and then a chnnge
came over her. She nurtured a species
of reserve und every penny of pin
money sho acquired she put carefully
away. Gradually her wardrobe began
to Include little articles of feminine
ndornmont dear to the girlish heart.
A year had rolled around and Mr.
Lee Informed Doris that "the crowd of
young follows," as he termed It, had
advised him that they would take the
old camp cottage for a month.
Doris was in u bewildering state of
animation. For n full year she had
dreamed, planned nnd saved. It almost
took away tho breath of the poor va
cationers when there burst upon tholr
vision the afternoon of their arrival
a new nnd glorified Doris.
She wore u silky, scaly dress skirt,
qulto "vntnplMi," having a certain trail
ing nrbutus oftect. It fitted like the
fuzz of a clingstone pencil. Her breath
came quick, her eyos glowed like dia
monds, hut as the four young men
greeted her friendly enough, but vague
ly, Doris shivered. Somehow she
traced not only surprise lu their faces,
hut n certain reproachful, pitying sen
timent.
The unusual gravity of Thorpe
crushed her. Tho young face clouded
when she had ascertained what sup
plies they would require dally from
tho farmhouse. Doris hastened from
the camp, reached a covert, and threw
herself on the ground In n wild pnr
oxysm of vexation nnd disappoint
ment.
"What Is the trouble, little friend?"
spoke Sidney, who lind followed her,
and she came to her feet angry nnd
defiant. She darted one look at him
nnd lied precipitately. To both a cor
rect conception had come. Sidney nt
once comprehended that tho foolish lit
tle maid had modeled herself after
Miss Fnber to appear modern and Im
pressive, nnd she renllzed that she
must appear grotesque and out of her
element, nnd her vanity was wounded.
Like some penitent sho nppeared nt
tho camp In propria personao the fol
lowing morning, her own modest nat
ural self. She was reserved nnd
looked pained and humbled. Sidney
accompanied her as she started home.
"Dear little friend," he spoke almost
tenderly, "It seems good to see the
bright fairy we all ot ,us love once
again ns nature Intended hor."
"And I did It ell for you I" sobbed
Doris. "Miss Faber "
"Miss Fabor, confidentially, has
wrinkles to conceal, and none of your
lovely roses on her cheeks," observed
Sldnoy.
"Hut 1 am only n calico girl, and I
thought that If I was drosuod like Miss
Fabor"
"Mado up, you mean," Interrupted
Sidney. "You don't need that." He
could scarcely resist the Impulse to
take her hi his arms In till her nrtloss
graco and beauty. "Doris, deur," he
snld seriously, "there Is one mnn who
always wishes to find you ns you are
n sweet child of nature ono who
hopes some day to have you ns nil his
own myself."
And sh- read truth nnd adoration
In his earnest, longing eyes, aud was
content.
