"Oh, Lesbnnl run run.
Is killed 1"
The mnn
Old Aunt Colin uttered the words
In n shrill cry of excitement nnd alarm.
She hobbled slowly after her niece,
Lesbln Darrow, as the hitter dashed
down the porch steps nnd out to the
street.
Thrilled by whnt she hnd viewed,
chilled with apprehension, Lesbln
brenthlessly paused nt the side of the
road to gaze down In dread and hor
ror nt a crumpled-up human .figure.
It was thnt of a man slightly older
than herself. Only a moment before
she lintl noticed him crossing the road.
An automobile holding four reckless
young men hnd rounded the corner,
never sounding the horn's warning,
nnd when their machine struck the
mnn nnd threw him to the curb they
dnshed on unheeding.
Old .lohn Barton, n neighbor, enme
limping to the spot as Miss Cella near- ,
ly fainted, nnd clung to n tree to sup
port her trembling form. He knelt
beside the prostrate figure. Then he
looked up with n colorless nnd trou
bled face.
"He Is pretty badly hurt, I'm afraid,"
he announced.
"Bring him Into the house nt once,"
HPtke Lesbln Instantly.
The doctor wns called on the tele
phone by Mr. Barton and looked seri
ous as he reported an arm broken, n
bad gash at the back of the bead nnd
one lower limb sprained. lie looked
over the clothing of the patient. There
was nothing found except n purse con
tnlnlng n few dollnrs nnd some printed
cards having only the name Alton
Drake, with no address. There wns
no hospltnl In the little town, and
Aunt Cella, always sympathetic and
generous hearted, Insisted on shelter
ing the unfortunnte stranger until be
was In n condition to Indlcnte who he
was anil where he came from. For
two days and nights he lay In a deep
onin. then n fever supervened. It
wn not until n week hud passed that
he was fully restored to sensibility.
He looked Intensely grateful and In
terested' when the doctor told him of his
. I
who
environment and the kind souls
had sacrificed their poor means and
time to see that he was cared for.
The physician told him that It would
he several weeks before he would be
t.ltle to get about, and recommended
hospital treatment.
"Not If these dear ladles will let me
stay here." objected Alton Drake. "I
haven't had a home for many a year,
doctor, and this seems like one, In
deed. I shall see that these people
are well paid for their trouble."
"I don't think the gentle souls have
tvor thought of that," responded the j
physician. "They are not ov mat
Kind."
"Truly, Indeed, I have fully realized
that," murmured the invalid grate
fully. He was strong enough to discuss
with Aunt Cella the event of retain
ing hlm as a regular boarder till he
recovered, and she showed, and he
knew, that the opulent sum he named
in reimbursement meant a great deal
to her. He was attended diligently,
and ns lie came back to normal aunt
and niece formed a decided liking for
hlm.
"We haven't hnd time to do any of
our old-time dreaming since he came,"
observed Lesbln, ns she and her aunt
nt in the gloaming. Her tones were
low and cautious, for she had noticed
that their patient was asleep In the
next room.
"You want to get back to the old
enjoyment of building houses In the
air?" smiled Aunt Celia. "Dear: dear!
what filmy castles we. have construct
ed !"
It had been a favorite and pleasur
able enjoyment for those two lonely
souls to pass a visionary hour Imag
ining and then planning what they
would do "when their ship came In."
It always ended in a new home such
as carried out their longings for a
domestic palace. Aunt Celia craved
n sun parlor, Lesbia's desire was a
cozy little library. Once started now,
they babbled like two Innocent chil
dren over their d renin toys.
"Oh. dear! Mr. Drake Is awake,"
suddenly exclaimed Aunt Colin.
The;, could catch the echo of dis
tinct chuckling, and then the words:
"I'll remember thnt vision house when
i got well, see If I don't !"
It was not until he wns able to get
about readily that lie told them who
ht- was "a lonely bnchelor with some
money," nnd he sent for n portion of
the same the dny he snld good-by and
ieft them, promising that they should
see hlm again before fall.
Often they thought of him after he
hnd departed, constantly Lesbia's
thoughts held his bright, pleasing ways
in memory, and one lovely morning
ho drove up In an automobile. "Want
to show you something, Indies," he
balled them, waving a paper roll. "See
that it's n house Just built nnd all fin
ished, nnd It's yours."
There It was, the palace they hnd
plnruied, and a few hours later the
nuto conveyed them to the house they
nnd so often held In' ecstatic vision.
"There's only one thing more I wish
t., sny," observod Drake. "I'd Uke to
stay hero, If you'd have me. I'm -asking
you, Miss Morris. Could you con
sider n proposal from n lonely old
bachelor? Why doesn't she answer?
Whnt does that mean?" he propound
ed, a Cella hung her lieail. blushing.
"It menus -low," responded Aunt
Celia Wcarly.
RIGIDLY EXCLUDE FRESH AIR
French Seemingly See No
Why It Should Ever Be
mltted to Bedroom.
Reason
Ad-
Europeans do not like fresh nlr,
writes Theodore Roosevelt In Average
Americans. They feel a good deal
like the gentleman In Stephen Lea-
cock's story who snld he liked fresh
nlr, nnd believed you should open
the windows nnd get In all you could.
Then you shpuld shut the windows nnd
keep It there. It would keep for years.
I hnve been in ninny rooms in
Franco where the windows were nulled
shut. The beds nlso are rather re
markable. They are generally fitted
with feather mattresses, and feather
quilts. Very often they are arranged
In a niche In the wall like a closet,
and have two doors, which the aver
age European, after gt'tlng Into th
bed, closes, thereby rendering It about
as airy and well ventilated as a collln.
I remember my own billet In one of
the towns where we stopped. As I
was commanding otllcer, It was one
of the best and was reasonably warm.
It was warm because the barnynrd
was next door, literally In the next
room, as -nil that separated me from
a cow was a light deal door by the '
side of the bed. The cow was tied to
the door. When the cow slept I slept;
but If the cow passed a restless night
I had all the opportunity I needed
to think over my past sins and future
plans.
In another town nn excellent billet
wns not jised by the otllcers because
over the bed were hung photographs
of all the various persons who had
died In the house, tnken while they
lay In that bed.
