"No; It's not money," she said.
"Must he I'm stupid, then."
"If you were stupid," she said, "I
think perhaps I mlidit forgive yon."
"I confess I'm In the dark," he said.
"Kindly show me the vulnerable point

"You have everything In (he world

"Pretty clever with a hoat," he re

"Anytlilnj; useful?" she hnstcuetl to

"I see," he said and for severul mo

"I'd like to take exceptions to your last

seems to me I mil doing the most use
ful thing In tho world for a man In my
position. I have plenty of money, and
Instead of crowding out some poor duf
fer who really needs that commodity
I keep out of It and give him a show."
Her eyes flashed. "What n lame ex

"Mny lie a trifle spavined." he agreed
cheerfully.
"I was roIiik to say It was cowurd

"Oh. well, If fg that I'll Join the

"There are other fields," she remind

He rose und stood Is fore her, look

"If I do something useful some
thing really useful-do I win?" he said
tensely.
"Yes," she said, studying the too of
her shoe.
"Very well, then," he at'.lrniiMl.
"You'd better decide whether It's Italy
or southern California. Coodhy."

"iiouhtless," said Lthel coldly.

"I'nslerlck!" she said and hurried
from Hie kllchen.
Another note appeaix'd that evening.
"I have resigned front huh heidoni."
It read, "hut will persevere elsewhere."
Some days later she ciu-oiiiitered hlin
Bgaln. She had Imsmi tint to the I'oiiu
try eluh with young Martin that after
noon, and It was dusk when they
alighted from the suburban train. As
they hurried along the platform a fa-inllla-
voice said. "Uerrldgc, iiiiiui?"
It was Frederick, decked In the livery
of old Sam, the Itrlghams' coachman.
"Mad" $l.7o today," he chuckled
gleefully.
Her face grew tense.
"When Is this ridiculous burlesque to
end?" she inquired In n strained voice,
and without walling for his reply she
hurried after Martin.
The climax came one late February
nfternoon. Fthel had left the cihsh
town ear at the corner and was hurry
lug Up the avenue. When she leached
St. Itotolph's she saw quite a crowd
standing on the sidewalk staling up
ward. She, too, looked up. A light
ning rod ran up the hrownstiuie spire,
nnd on tho lightning rod, slowly, pain
fully working his way upward, was a
man. She turned away with n little
shiver of horror, but as she did so a
well dressed man beside her cried ex
citedly: "Ity Oeorgc! II'h l'rlghain - -Freddy
r.rlKham."
She slopped, sick with dread, yet she
could not keep her eyes from that
black dot on the spire, she saw hint
creep up to the very npex; saw him
climb the tod that supported tbt
weather vane. There he drew from
somewhere a hammer, cleared the
snow from the vane and with several
blows of the hammi r set It free to
swing to the wind. Then he came
down the rod to the bell deck ami dis
appeared through n trapdoor while
the crowd cheered.
Fthel, giddy wllh the strain of the
last few minutes, entered the church.
In the vestibule she saw lliigham nnd
the sexton, who was handing him some
bills.
"Hello!" called the former, catching
sight of her. "It wan really useful -vane
snowed up, you know, and peo
ple In the vicinity couldn't tell which
way the wind was blowing. Hid you
want to see the sex tun?" he lidded
pointedly, whereat that functionary
discreetly took his leave.
Frederick Itiigham!" she began
bravely, but suddenly the tears came,
nnd she began to sob. He watched
her covertly for a t neut and finally
decided to risk nn arm about her.
"Perhaps I'm useful, after all," he
suggested.
"You are! oh, you are!" she said
wildly.
"To you?" he hinted.
"Of course," she said, clinging to
him.
Farly Idea Abont llalr.
All the ancient philosophers held cu
rious Ideas respecting the grow th. func
tions, structure, etc., of the hair and
had many superstitions founded on
these old opinions. The early writers
on the makeup of the human body nl
most Invariably refer to the hair ns be
ing na excrement fed on substances
similar to Itself. They supposed that
It generated In the fuliginous parts of
tho blood, wns exhaled by the bent of
the body, becoming 11 rut and fibrous
upon being exposed to the air. Just ns
the fluid of the spider web does. Ia
these days every Idea respecting tho
growth and character of hair Is
chnnged. It ls now agreed that every
hair properly nnd truly lives nnd re
ceives Its nutriment from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the
nature of parasitic plants. They grow
ns vegetation does, j i t each has, ns It
were, n distinct life nnd economy. Thnt
they derive their existence from the
Juices of the body there Is no doubt,
but that fol ls not taken from tho
nutritious Juices, for we know that hair
will thrive even though the body starvo
or be wasted by disease, or even after
the animal life has ceased to exist In
the flesh or skin to which It hi nt
tached. Senrrd Hir I'rlnpen.

RAILROAD TWK PER MILE.
As Compared With Other States Nebraska
Comes In at the Tail End.
The railroad tax agents and attor
neys have fur years Insisted that the
lailioads pay iiune taxes in Nebraska
than they do In other stales I'.iillctlii

railroads of Nebraska in at.
tempting to institute comparison Uv
tween railroad taxation In Nebraska
and seven oiher slates, selected sons
to convey the impression that the rail
roads, of Nebraska fare much worse,
than do the railroads of those slates,
and the assertion was made that the
average lax per mile in live states Is
lii:i li'.i, while the average tax paid by
railroads per mile in Nebraska Is

In order that the Mate Imard of ai
