(Copyright. 1915. by 'W. G. Chapman.!
"And I wish you joy of him," re
peated Mrs. Philip Adams, pursing
I her lips and looking angrily at Lucy
Smith.
It had always irritated the wealthy
farmer s wife that her cousin, the wife
of ne'er-do-well Frank Smith, should
have offered a home to their mutual
uncle, Mark Evans.
Mark Evans had owned a prosper
ous farm of his own a few years be
fore. but when his wife died the old
man of eighty was unatle to keep it
up. At eighty-two his niece, Mrs.
Adams, fearing that the depreciating
property would leave her only a triviat
legacy, persuaded the old man to sell
out.
' Pay the money over to me and
Phil,” she said, end we'll take care of
you for the rest of your days.”
The old man did so, but the farm
realized less than a thousand dollars.
The Adams family was *urious.
“If I'd known the old skinflint wasn't
worth more than that. I'd have seen
myself swished before I'd have got
stung for a home.” said Philip.
"What’s he done with all his money?
He used to be rich," said his wife.
"However, he w^nt last long."
1 But he did last. Old Mark flour
ished amazingly, and at eighty-four he
was as vigorous as many a man of
half his age. In vain his niece watched
i for signs of breakdown.
"We can't go on feeding the use
less old cuss for ever.” muttered her
husband. "If it wasn't for what the
neighbors would say. I'd turn him away
to the poorhouse. He's stung us fair."
Old Mark heard that. He had re
signed himself without complaint to
the attic room, to a separate table
where he received the scraps that fell
from the family s leavings. He had
borne the taunts of the ill-bred Adams
children. But it stung him to the
quick to be a burden, to be accused
of dishonesty.
‘‘My niece Lucy Smith wants me to
spend a week w ith her,” he announced
the next day. 'Guess I'll pay her a
visit."
"Guess you'll pay the fare, too,”
sneered Philip Adams.
However, Lucy had paid the fare,
and the old man duly departed. The
week's stay had extended to a year,
and Old Mark was still there, an hon
ored guest.
“Yes. I wish you joy of him.” re
seated Mrs. Adams, vho had gone to
“But I Dor’t Play No Favorites." He
Said.
pay her cousin a visit. “Eats his head
off, don't he?"
"He has a good appetite." admitted
Lucy. "We like to see uncle eat."
"Humph! Well, it's more than 1 j
do.’ answered her cousin. “And
don't you think we're going to take !
him back, after the wav he’s acted
to us. because we ain't.”
"Frank and 1 have offered Encle
Mark a home for the rest of his days,”
answered Lucy quietly.
That was true, and the old man
was welcome. No longer living upon
grudging charity, he sat at the table ■
with his relatives The best bedroom
in tbe house had been offered him
However. Old Mark would not take
that, but he was certainly more com
fortably accommodated than before.
One thing had always distressed
Lucy. Old Mark insisted on going
out to work.
It might seem that a man of eighty
four is incapable of active labor. But
Old Mark, though he had not been
able to keep up his tarm, had by
no means lost his muscular activity.
As labor was scarce in the neighbor
hood, the farmers, incredulous at first
when the old man offered his serv
ices were glad enough to allow him
to dig in their gardens at a dollar a
day. Besides that the old man did
odd chores.
"He must be making a mint of
money. Lucy.” said her husband jocu
larly.
"It s all coming to Frank and you."
Old Mark would say. when they re
proached him. “I got to do some
thing to earn my keep, seeing as
Niece Jane has got my farm and I’ve
got nothing to pay you with."
"But It isn’t necessary to pay a
penny, uncle.” Lucy would say, half
crying. "People will think we make
you work for us."
“I guess not." answered Old Mark.
T tell 'em that I'm doing it against
your wishes. But It's all owning to
you.”
That sounded well enough, but no
body had seen any of Mark s money.
The postmistress stated that the old
man had bought money orders re
cently. But to whom was he sending
his money? To a bank?'
"Pshaw, Lucy, let the old fellow
have his way.” said Frank. “If it
makes him happy, and he feels less
under an obligation to us. it doesn’t
do him any harm.”
“But I'm eightv-five next month,
and 1 ain't going to do a stitch of
work after I'm eighty-five." said Mark,
chuckling.
Indeed. Mark's industry afforded
the farmer and his wife less time for
i meditation than formerly. The sea
; son had been poor, the crops had not
ripened—it was the wet summer of
a few years ago; finally, the price of
corn had gone shooting down. The
struggle of the "ne'er-do-weir Frank
Smith had long excited the derision
of his relatives. He seemed an in
capable farmer, and they knew noth
ing of the crushing mortgage and of
the difficulty with which each interest
day was met.
At last Frank and Lucy had to face
1 the prospect of selling out and mov
ing to the city. "We'll take Old
Mark." they said
Old Mark, learning of his relatives
difficulties, did not appear greatly con
cerned. “It's life:-' he said. "That's
all. It happened to me. I guess 1
can go to the poorhouse."
“You certainly will not go to the
poorhouse so long as 1 cau work,”
said Frank.
At last the farm was advertised for
sale. Nobody was surprised, but sev
eral people were pleased. The Adams
family were very pleased
"And he thought he could feed an
extra useless mouth." sneered Philip.
"It serves that woman right." said
his wife, "for trying to reproach us
with not looking after Mark. Why
don't you buy the farm. Philip? It'll
trample them into the dust. And I'd
like to know what they'll do with Old
Mark then.”
"I'm going to bid for it,” answered
Philip shrewdly. “If it goes for a
song, I'll take it."
The day of the sale arrived. Frank
and Lucy, very subdued, but bravely
meeting the inquisitive gaze of the
neighbors, sat by the auctioneer.
“What bids for this property?"
snapped the auctioneer. "Fifty acres
of first-class farming land—"
“Ho! Ho!” roared a voice from
among the audience. It was Philip
Adams, who chuckled and nudged his
wife. "That's good, ain't it?" he said.
"A house and barn in fair condition,
an orchard with fruit trees in bearing,
chicken houses and two hundred hens.
What bids””
"Ten dollars’" shouted Adams exu
berantly.
"Be sensible, gentlemen.” pleaded
the auctioneer. "One-third cash and
the remainder on mortgage. What of
fers?”
"Five hundred dollars." said a bald
headed city clerk, who was trying to
get back to the land
"Six hundred." said Adams.
They ran the price up to twelve
hundred dollars, at which the city
clerk subsided. Frank watched the
scene in humiliation. Lucy, impassive,
regarded the sneering face of Philip,
as he wrestled with another bidder at
fourteen hundred
"At fourteen hundred." said the auc
tioneer. nodding to Philip. "Going—
going—”
“Fifteen!" snapped Old Mark, stand
ing up as spryly as a young man.
"Eb?" grunted the auctioneer
"Where's your money?"
Old Mark advanced to the auction
eer's desk and slapped down an enor
mous wallet choking with bills. The
auctioneer peered inside. He saw sev
eral hundreds.
"He can't bid—he's too old!” shout
ed Philip wrathfully.
"There ain't no age limit." said the
auctioneer. "Any higher offer?”
"I tell you he's a faker, and 1 stand
by what 1 bid. and 1 take the farm.”
shouted Philip in a rage.
“At fifteen. Going—gone! It's
yours," said the auctioneer to Mark.
"One-third cash and—"
Til pay the whole fifteen hundred,”
answered Old Mark, counting out the
money.
It w as done Mark owned the farm,
and Lucy and Frank found themselves
one on each side of him in the open
Round them gathered a curious crcwd.
including Jane and Philip Adams The
situation was preposterous—incredi
ble.
Hush. Old Mark was speaking.
"You see, my dears, you were sind
to an old man." he said. “You
thought 1 hadn't no money, but there
was my life insurance, which 1 took
out fifty years ago last Wednesday
Four thousand dollars it were, and
cost me something over a hundred a
year. I had the premiums put by
w hen 1 sold the farm, but I got a lit
tle short, so 1 had to work a bit to
make up the last year's But 1 cashed
in Wednesday, and I’ve still got a
tidy sum over. It's my farm now. and
you and Lucy are going to work it
till I die. and then it goes to ycu."
He turned toward the stupefied
Adamses.
"But 1 don't play no favorites," he
said. "You and Jane is welcome tc
be my guests whenever you war; to—
only, of course, seeing as 1 gave you
my other farm, this oneH be Lucy's."
His Jaw a Rib.
Some marvelous surgical operations

A soldier was brought in with the

Three inches of rib were taken from
another man badly wounded in the
side, and the piece of rib transplanted
to the head of the first soldier in the
place of his missing jaw. The opera

One Monograph Lost to Literature
“The other day," said Berry M.
AuH, Chiggerbite’s popular undertak
er. “I sat down to write a mono
graph on the Futility of Everything.
It was a great thought—It thrilled
me. But mine is a sternly logical
mind. The more the truth of my
great theme came home to me, the
more clear it became that 1 would
have to give up writing th« mono
graph. For writing also is futile"—

Shrapnel in Warfare.
Shrapnel is most effective against
prone skirmishers at ranges from
1,000 to 3.000 meters, when burst
twenty-eight to twenty-two meters
short of the target, and against stand
ing skirmishes at the same ranges
when burst fifty-six to forty-five me
ters short of the target. Black also
points out that a single shrapnel from
a light field howitzer produces a
greater number of hits when the point
of burst is favorably situated than one
fired from a field gun.
Shrapnel is also playing a most Im
portant part in aerial warfare, and of
these antiaircraft shrapnel, ail of
which embody the same general es
sentials. there is perhaps none more
effective than that known as "Ehrhardt
antiaircraft shrapnel.
