SENECA COUNTY COXTRIER-JOURANAL THURSDY, JANUARY 15, 1903. B d i ^ s c o m ' s Atit© B y . . . EPES W. SARGENT Copyright, ions. Toy the S. S. MeClure Company Roger Bascom’s automobile bad be come a local issue in Marion. Deacon Perry declared that it was flying in the face of Providence to dispense with the horse and use this newfan gled vehicle. Horses had been good enough for his grandfathers, and they would still be good enough for him and his. This was hard on Bascom because Grace Perry and he had grown natu rally from playmates into lovers, yet now the deacon had said that sooner than see a child of his trust herself to a man who trafficked in the devices of the evil one he would send her out to his sister in Minnesota. Roger, being a young man of spirit, had reminded the deacon that Elijah’s chariot of fire was probably very like a steam automobile, in consequence of which flippant speech he had received his ring back from the girl he loved. For her father’s sake Grace tried to keep to the letter of his law, but she could not keep her thoughts from wandering to her lover any more than «he could withdraw her heart from his keeping; also she was too much her father’s daughter to take anything on hearsay, so she wanted to try for her self just how dreadful the new ma chine was. Possibly it was a combination of these reasons that led her to the river road where Roger was speeding up and down. She tried hard to look un conscious as the auto came into view, but the efCort was unsuccessful, par ticularly as its solitary occupant stop ped short at sight of her. The look of gladness that overspread his face was obviously reflected in her own. Bascom’s heart gave a joyful leap at the sight. “Jump in, Grace!” he cried boldly, “Try it and see how you like It.” And he threw open the door in vitingly. But Grace backed off in a disapprov ing fashion. “I don’t like it,” she de clared; “neither does father.” Yet the telltale color still flamed in her cheeks. Bascom laughed. He could brave the world now that he knew that Grace still cared. “I know he doesn’t,” he admitted, “but you will if you only once try it.” Now, Deacon Perry had driven over to Chester that morning and: would not be back till late. The road was de serted, and—well, it would be nice to be with Roger again, to have him tuck the Tobe tenderly around her and feel his strong, reliant presence at her side. Grace yielded to the tempter and tasted of the forbidden fruit. The first mile she was too busy en joying the novelty and the rapid mo tion to speak. She had forgotten her father’s commands when she at last turned a radiant face. “It’s perfectly lovely!” she cried en thusiastically. “And I’m not a bit scared. Ai’e girls usually scared?” “Not a bit. Why, Nell Demorest and Alive Evans went way over to Chester and back.” She drew away from him. “I didvnot know that you were taking every girl in the village to ride. I sup pose 3mu wanted me to come so as to make up the number,” she said stiffly. He wheeled around in his seat. “See here, Grace,” he said emphat ically, “you know that there is just one girl whom I have been wishing-to see in that seat, and that’s you; but when you would not come I took the others. A fellow has to talk to a girl once in awhile.” “You do not appear to haA’G lacked for practice.” she retorted ironically. “Well,” he answered cheerfully, ^‘there's .safety in numbers. I should think it Avould please you unless you want to be a Mormon.” Perhaps his tone was a little bit too masterful, and the girl resented it She did not speak until a few stray drops of rain splashed upon her face. Neither had noticed how overcast the sky had grown. At her cry Bascom stopped the ma chine and looked around ruefully. Dur ing the last half hour of moody silence he had not eared how fast and far they went, and here they were eight miles from home. H is tone v a s A'ery m eek a s lie looked down, at the proud little figure at his side. ‘T’ni no end sorry, for there is no hood, but here’s an umbrella.” She accepted it with chill politeness, and they headed for home. The rain came down in torrents, and the water oozed and splashed under the rubber tires. Grace’s face was beginning to soften as she stole sur reptitious glances at her dripping es- I cort, 3*et even in her embarrassment she was conscious that the auto was j going sIoAver and slower. Bascom said ; nothing till it came to an abrupt stop, j “I think the gasoline has given out,” I he observed calmlj’. “We will have to | stay here or”— He glanced at the ! country road that had become a sea of | mud. Clearly walking was out of the question. j He took off his coat. “Put this about I you,” he said tenderly. “It will help ' to keep j'ou drs\ and there must be a ! carriage along soon.” i “I really cannot allow it,”’ she was ! saying, but she did. She was aston- | ished at herself, astonished, too, at the i force of the old feeling of contentment ! in once more being taken care of by ' him. Surelj', she told hei-self fiercely, I she had too much spirit to love a man who solaced himself for her absence by | the society of other girls. And yet she ^ still loved him. In spite of all her ar- j guments she kneAV it. Bascom did not know it, and at her j continued silence his face grew as 1 downcast as the sky. A shiver of the j girl by his side roused him. “You are I taking your death of cold,” he cried re- j morsefully, “and it’s all my fault. When I saw you, I couldn’t help ask ing jmu in, but I never ought to have done it.” There was no trace of masterfulness in his A’oiee now, and the girl melted. “I—I wanted you to ask me,” she said Bascom gave one look at her face, and then there were two figures under ] the umbrella that earlier had been barely enough for one. They never even heard an approach ing carriage till roused by Deacon Per ry’s excited, “Well, well!” as be reined up beside them. Bascom mentally braced himself for a shock, but it turn ed out to be a little different from wbat he expected. “Got in trouble, eh?” chuckled the deacon. “Guess that j'ou’ll admit that a horse is best after all.” “I’ll admit anjTliing if jmu’ll only get Grace out of this,” said Bascom man fully. “She does seem to he in pretty close quarters,” the deacon said grimly, but his daughter’s imploring eyes and the joy of victory softened him again. “I’ve been kinder sony I Avas so set, so I guess we’II have to let bs'gones be by gones, and I’ll just tow you borne.” And so it happened that late that aft ernoon, wlien tlie skies liadl cleared. Deacon Perry made a sensational en try into Marion. Behind him towed the auto, like royal captive chained to a chariot. But the two prisoners of war, seated within it, were strangely jubi- FIRST VIEW OF WHITE MEN The Rifle and Burning; Glass Priisht- ened the Indians. It is small wonder that the first view of a white man created terror among tlie superstitious ludiaus. A striking instance of this occni-red when the Wallawalla Indians first saw Captain Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedi tion. Thinking to propitiate the sav ages and allay their fears of the white men, he planned to visit a village of the Wallawallas before the arrival of the rest of his partj’. With this end in vieAV, he set out to cross the Columbia rh'er in a canoe, taking three men Avitb him. On the Avay he shot a crane and a duck, both of which fell near him. He landed be fore five wigAvams placed close to each other, but not a person Avas Adsible, and the doors, which were of mat, were closed. Holding his pipe in hand, as an indication of good Avill, he push ed aside -one of the doors and entered the lodge. Inside were thirty men, women and children huddled together in terror. He went to them, shook each by the hand and said some friendly Avords, expressing by word and manner bis kindly feeling. Their apprehensions were allayed until he took out his burning glass and lighted his pipe by the rays of the sun. Consternation again preA'ailed, and what might haA'^e I occurred but for the timely arrival of two chiefs Avho kneAV the white men cannot be told. It seems that tho Indians had not seen Captain Clark, but thej’’ had seen the white crane Avhich he had shot fall just before his appearance. They had also seen the duck fall at his shot. They connected the fall of the birds with his adA'ent and thought he had fallen from the clouds. The sound of the rifle, which they had never before heard, they believed AA'as a sigiial to announce the white man’s coming. Small wonder, then, that their hardly allayed fears were again aroused when he brought down fire from heaven by means of his burn ing glass.—Youth’s Companion. BIJ§1KESS CARDS. ERNEST O.

A Chinese Proverh’s Oris'in. “He’ll steal your shoes” is an expres sion which in China is used to describe an arrant knave and pilferer. The ex pression is hundreds of years old and is based on an adventure perpetuated through the medium of decorated crock ery ware. A wealthy Chinaman, whose gorgeously embroidered shoes were the envy of the community, was, according to the legend, despoiled of his pride in the following manner: A rascal one day rushed up, gave the rich man a hearty blow on the back and, seizing the as tonished gentleman’s hat, pitched it up on a high wall. The next moment the fellow seemed to discover that it was not an old friend he Avas greeting so ep- thusiastically and apologized profusely. “How shall I get my hat?” inquired the man with the beautiful shoes. “Jump on my back, and you can reach it,” replied tlie schemer. The suggestion Avas carriedl out, but while the hatless man Avas reaching for his head covering the i-ascal slipped off the handsome shoes and made away, leaving the simple minded millionaire clutching the wall. Sense and Matbematics. The difference between common sense and mathematics was illustrated In a remark which was made in a school the other day. It was the mental arithmetic class. The master asked Smith: “Which would you rather have, half an apple or eight-sixteenths of an ap ple?” “Wouldn’t make any difference,” said Smith. “Why not?” “Bight-sixteenths and one-half are the same.” At this reply Jones, who was sitting near, sniffed scornfully. The master heard him. I “Well, Jones,” said he, “don’t you | agree with Smith?” “No, sir,” said Jones; “I’d much soon- I er haA^e one-half an apple.” i “And why, please?” I “More juice. Cut up half an apple j into eight-sixteenths, and you’d lose | half the juice doing it!” , Large roosters AVith small hens is a very poor combination. Scalded milk and cooked rice will often stop diarrhea in fowls. Indigestion, one of the worst diseases among poultry. Is often caused by sour, moldy food. Eggs intended to be hatched in an in cubator should never be allowed to be come chilled. In oi'der to have poultry tender and juicy they must be fattened quickly. Two weeks of good feeding are usually sufficient. Use plenty of lime in the poultry house. It will kill lice, is a good dis infectant, will purify the air, it de stroys A'ormin and prevents gapes. One of the best Avaj's of feeding oats to poulti-y is to put them in a tub at night, pour scalding water over them, let them stand until morning and feed them Avarm. When the fowls are closely confined or when the ground is covered with snow, they must haA^e bulky food. Cut clover hay Avell steamed is good, as are also cabbage leaves. Agt., New York. H. SMITH.

If it were generally known among in telligent people that great numbers of innocent tumors sooner or later be come malignant and that malignant tu mors often simulate benign tumors and remain quiescent for a great while, the sufferers would unhesitatingly consent to the removal of these morbid gi-owths in their inception, long before the pos sible advent of serious mischief, or when the cure might be effected by mi nor operations which would leav’e the smallest scars, especially in such parts as the face, neck, arms or hands.
