M ft-, !l9 I I. '1 I i I... 1U moor a herd Why? Because Miss Mildred Detested Them. By GRACE KERRIGAN. Jlmmlo Kargo, gentlomnn, clubman, loclcty muti and traveler, had been In lovo no lens than soven times when ho met Mildred Hurt at a function. Seven times ho hod been In lovo, or thought ho hnil, but ho had scarcely gazed Into Miss Hurt's hazel eyes when ho realized that all that had gono boforo was mere fancy. This was no passing whim. It was love the only and original. It foamed up like Eoda wuter and had the tang of elder threo years old. Jlmmlo was a young man. Ho had been used to making his vows on tho llrst of January each year, but ten minutes after his Introduction to Miss Hurt ho might have been found In n corner vowing to himself that he would win that young lady'B heart and hand ero tho robins or any other sort of birds nested again. Jlmmlo Fargo had the reputation of going right at things. That's tho way ho happened to fall in love and fall out again tho seven times recorded. He went right nt this affair In hit. usual breezy way, but that wasn't, after all, eucIi an aggressive way as to scare tho bird off its nest. He mado his vows and his inquiries, and then ho brought his fad into play. Jlmmlo Fargo had a fad. All men have, but thoy won't admit it. They llutter themselves that it's erudition, perspicacity, Judgment, a gift granted to them alone for being so good. Jim mlo's fad was character reading. Ho could tell the leading traits in the character of every man and woman that passed the clubzhouso in a long afternoon. Of course thcro was no wayof proving him right or wrong, and 60 ho built up n reputation for himself in which he was the only real bdllover. From a safe position Jlmmlo brought bis fad to bear on tho girl or his heart. Chestnut hair. That signified a rather particular girl particular about to whom she gave her heart. Oval face. That signilled a roman tic nature Hazel eyes. That signilled loyalty and love after the heart was onco won. A proud polso of tho head. That Blgnllled pride of birth, and that trillers stood no show. A dimpled chin. That signified that no every-day sort of man could hope to win her. Sho had her ideal, and ho was a hero. Red lips and even teeth. They sig nilled that tho owner was not to be won in tho usual way. There must bo heroism and adventure. Small feet That signified that tho owner was dcflnnt of public opinion to an extent. That is, sho wouldn't inako a beanpole of herself because Mrs. Jones had, and that sho had Just as soon rldo up and down Fifth ave nue In a farm wagon as in a $5,000 auto. ' Jlmmlo Fargo had his own llttlo patent way of interpreting things, when ho had como to tho end of his string ho drew a long breath and tightened his belt. His Job was cut out for him. Never in this world could ho win tho heart of Mildred ' Hurt by sending bouquets and prov ing himself tho moBt graceful dancer in his set. There must be romance and adventure, and thero Bhould bo. Tho Hurts dwolt In the suburbs In an old colonial mansion. Jlmmlo Fargo had been invited thero to sev eral affairs. When a couple of months had passed ho couldn't say whether ho had made an impression on Miss Mildred or not, but ho felt that ho had not lost ground. One April evening he drovo out that way .In his auto. Ho wasn't going to call, but all men In love are pretty much allko. It does a heap of good to see tho outside of tho houBO that shelters the girl one loves. There Is a sort of calm, sweet consolation in realizing that her hand has opened that gate, and that her feet havo left tracks on tho gravel path. Jimmle drove past the houso and ten miles beyond, and it was while coming back that Providence Jumped Into tho auto and snuggled down be eldo him. Results followed within ten minutes. It was lata In the eve ning. Jimmle had taken a slow gait. As ho camo opposite tho Hurt place he saw a human figure raising a lad der to a window In Miss Hurt's room. The golden opportunity! Jimmle was out of his auto and on that RafileB' back beforo one could have counted fifty. RafileB uttered a yell of terror as ho was grabbed by tho neck, and ho tried to fight back, but ho was flung down and sat on and pounded until a window was raised and a voice demanded to know what was the matter. It was the voice of MIbb Mildred Durt, and Jimmle Fargo recognized it and gave Raf fles another punch on the nose and an- Bwcred: "I havo caught a burglar, MIbb Hurt! Please arouBo the houao and telephone for tho police!" ' "A burglar, you fool!" exclaimed the Bupposed Raffles. "Mllly, tell the Idiot who I am!" "It's It's brother Jim!" sho soft ly called down. "Hut but " "I was late In coming homo, and the governor locked mo out," explained the boy of fifteen. "Oh oh 1 " No, Jlmmlo Fargo was not a hero. That Jade of Frovldenco had played .1 1 Hi Hil I iv iL.U UlULlilll l lit) e'fn and bloodied tho nose of tho youth ho fondly hoped to call his brother-ln-law some day. That was nil. A week later another chance was given him. On Thirty-fourth street; he saw Miss Mildred leavo n dry goods 6tore and tako a taxi. After going a hundred feet toward Hrond-, way, tho vehicle began to cut capers! and tho frightened chauffeur aban doned his seat. Jlmmlo Furgo dashed forward to do or die, but tho vehlclo suddenly decided to bo good and Ltoppod, and Miss Mildred Btcpped to tho sidewalk calmly. "11 was going to" ''Oh. It's you, Mr. Fargo? Flno day, isn't it? Do you know I'm off to the country In a day or two? No' doing down to Ollffdnlo to stop with my married sister for a month. Pleased to have you call If you uro down that way." Was Jimmle Fnrgodown thnt way In about ten days? ' Ho was! Jlm mlo was feeling blue for a week after that taxi farce. Two adventures and 110 romance nothing to count for him. Then ha suddenly brightened up. The country was the place for adventure mad dogs tierce bulls vicious tramps outlaws and horsu thieves. Yes, ho would go down, and ho would depend upon Jlmmlo Furgo this ttmo. Miss Mildred had gono to cull the early summer llowcrs, and after wait ing on tho veranda for half an hour to work up tho good will of tho Bister the lover set out. Far across a green meadow he caught sight of a figure, it was that of Miss Mildred. A mo ment later he caught sight pf another. That was Farmer Taylor's" bull that had Jumped tho fence. Tho bull started for tho girl and Jlmmlo start ed for the bull. He shouted. Ho waved his arms. Ho called to Miss Mildred to make for tho fence to climb a tree to fly away In an acro- plano. And then his foot struck a hlddon stone and he fell forward with a crash that dislocated his shoulder and ren dered him unconscious for many min utes. It was the voice of tho girl call ing to u farmer In the next field that seemed to rouso him. "Mr. Furgoi what on earth wcro you trying to do?" sho usked, ob sho turned to the victim. "To save you," was the reply. "To save mo? Why, didn't you see that the bull fell and broke his neck beforo he was half way to mo?" Jimmle Bat up and his eyes filled with tears. ' "You poor boy you aro in awful pain." "It isn't that, I I can't bo a hero nohow!" "Hut what do you want to be a hero for?" "To to win you!" "Why, I positively detest heroes! Leavo It out and bo plain Jimmle." It's too soon yet, but it will come around nil right. (Coiiyrlclit, 1912. hv .Associated I-ltcrury Press.) LOOKING AFTER THE PENNIES Cornelius Vandcrbilt Was Exacting in tvUny Respects, but He Gave Generously. Mr. Vnnderbllt wus notably exacting in his personal business relations of himself as well as of others, writes Richard M. Wlnans in Harper's Week ly. At a meeting of a certain rail road's board of directors of which ho was a member it was found that sev eral were absent. At a fait board meeting each director received $10, and It was tho rule that If any were absent those present shared tho total fee. That Is, If but half the members wcro present each attending member vould receive (20, and bo proportion ately. On the day of tho meeting re ferred to the number of absentees n.ade the division of tho feo amount to certain odd dollars and twelve and a. half cents. At the close of the meet ing, as the secretary handed cacti mem ber his apportioned fee, he accepted the given number of dollars and pass ed up the twelve and a half cents to avoid the bother of making change. When thd secretary came to Mr. Van dorbllt, however, ho found him busily counting some small coin from a purse onto tho table. "I can cbango a dol lar for you and will take the 12 cents," 1 said Mr. Vandcrbilt; then smiled as he ndded, "but I cannot manage tho half cent." And the man worth more than a hundred million dollars had taken tho trouble to change a dollar for the sako of 12 cents, which, together with the extra dollars, had come to him by the default of others. Had the proposed half-penny then been In circulation he would probablly have "managed the half cent." The next day Cornelius Vandcrbilt gave half n million dollars to estab lish a charity work in New York. And It was In a measure due to his con stantly keeping close tab on the pen nles In the handling or his largo affairs that he was able to make such h splon did gift In tho cause of humanity. Area of the Earth. The area of tho earth comprises 190,000,000 square miles. Leaving out of account the 8,000 square miles abouttho poles that aro unexplored, the land area forming tho habitat of tho human race Is nbout 27 per cent of tho total area of the globo. And un less man In some way learns to llvo In, on or under the waters, ho can never havo any more room on the earth than ho has nt prosont. Hut you need not personally worry yoursolf over the matter. It will bo a long time before tho danger tine Is In sight. It Is nald thnt tho United States or America could take caro of all tho In habltsnte of the caith. UNREST IN EHGUU Duke of Marlborough Blames Dearth of Cottages for Evil. Absence of Homes for Humblest Classes of Rural Worker Is De populating the Country "Week Enders" It Chief Cause. uunuoii.-iiH uiu uuu ui u.i borough, n his recent artle en in tho I . ltt... ll.- .-..1. .. If.J ' III Dally Mall on industrial unreBt in England," traced tho . . I sourco of tho trouble back to tho dearth of cottages for country laborers, it seemed rnthcr fanciful, but since his articled were printed, no buiuII amount of evidence iius appeared to back up his theory. Ono of tho most Interesting contri butions to tho discussion comes from "A Country Parson," who sas that tho dearth of homes for tho humblest classes or rural workers is a crying, evil. According to him, It 1b depopu lating the country. Mnrrlages among tho young people nrc ut a discount, ho says. Twenty years ago. In his parish, the registers show thero was a yearly average of six marriages of agricultural laborers. During the last eight years this aver age has been reduced to ono. Assur edly this statement backs up tho duke of Marlborough. Tho young men In tho country have no Inducements to marry thero and no homes to Bettlo down In. Thoy flock to the cities, they crowd out tho city born of weaker pbyslquo, they lower the standard of wngeB by glutting the jabor market. Then como poverty, strike, paralysis of business, general all-'round disaster. Hut why should thero be a dearth of rural cottages. Why docs not tho law of supply and demand operate to end It In short order? One reason seems to bo that nil sorts of outsid ers are competing with tho agricultur al faborer in the way of a cottage that may exist or bo built in rural regions. Behind this la tho fundamental cause, tho fact that the agricultural laborer is bo badly paid or paid in such an unpractical way that ho Is not able to pay anything like a decent rent for a homo anything like tne rent which will return even the smallcBt Interest on the builder's in vestment. Illustrating the competition with tho laborer for the rural cotlago, tho case of tho week ender 1b cited. The Typical English Cottage. week ender of moderate means wants a very cheap placo where he can run down in flno weather and spend a day or two at what la to him merely nominal expense. Ho finds a laborer's cottiico nlcturesaucly situated; ho 1 goes to tho landlord and offers a gro ! tesquely low rent for it, Bay flvo shil lings or 1.25 a week, on condition that It bo restored or fixed up put In good order. Tho landlord cheerfully accepts tho offer and puts tho cottage In flrst-rato condition, for tho rent of the city man offers, absurd though it may Beem to a New Yorker, Ib any where from threo to five timeB as much as the agricultural laborer can afford to pay. MAY CALL OFFICER A "GINK" And, Philadelphia Judge Holds, It Doesn't Justify Arrest of Former Pugilist. Philadelphia. Magistrate Coward, sitting In city ball, today decided It Js no crime to call a policeman a "gink," no matter what construction Is placed upon tho word. The Magis trate listened to tho evidence of Po liceman Pill of tho vlco squad, who had arrested Jack Hanlon, tho former pugilist, whom he accused of calling him a gink when Pill was on duty in the Tenderloin. When the Judge heard the caso he eald: "Well, that 1b not wrong. I'm called worse things than that a dozen times a day. I don't caro how you tako It If that Is all that tho man eald you had no right to arrest him." In the cross-examination of PHI Hanlon's lawyer asked PHI if he knew what the word meant. When tho po liceman said he did not know tho at torney said: "Well. If you don't know v.ow, you wilt soon enough, for you have been accused of being a 'gink' before, and you had better bo careful or they may make moro than accusa tions the next time."
