She waved her hands and cried "Sh»»! Shoo!** but there was no nalvatlon for the v'ctiua. •‘Whnt in it. aunty?’ naked her niece, Mlm Nettie Ward, from the city, who bad come out to the old farm for a vacation. “Why. another es them hawks has grabbed another of them chickens,” wax the reply. “I told pa only last night that he ought to git out and load the shotgun for me. I s'pose that hawks have got as much right to live as ether folks, but I’ll be suummed ls”- [ "But he did load the gun, and it’s there behind the dear,” Interrupted the niece. “Se It 1b! What an old goose I am getting te be! Nettie, did you e’er fire a gun?’ "Never.” “Then I must show you bow to do it Yon take It in both hands this way. You draw it up to your ahoulder this way. Then you abet your eyes and pull ou the trigger with year inger, and the hawk dropa dead. A hawk may eome while I’m dewn eeiiar or upstairs and yon are out here alone, and you want to be able to shoot him.” There were only uncle, annt and Nettie at the farm, and the girl from the city soon wore off the newneis and the novelty and became a bit lonesome. On account of this louesomeness she almoat bowed to a young man who paseed the gate one evening at dusk and almost bowed to her, and when she went tn she asked her aunt who It wn. "I haln’t seen no strange young men around here myself,” was the answer, "but I understand that the Stevenses, half a mile beliw us, hare got a summer boarder. I guess he's the one you

saw.” Things happen suddenly out in the csuntry the same as In the city. Two days after seeing the young man Miss Nettle woke up with the toothache. She had hardly eome downstairs and told of it when the rural mail carrier left a letter for the avnt. which stated that a sister living ten miles away was ill and wanted her to drive over at once. She couldn't drive, and so Uncle Joe must go along. There was room for Nettie to go along, but the toothache kept getting worse. It didn’t take her long to decide to stay home and doctor it. She could put on a bag of hot ashes, hold hot vinegar in her mouth and now and then press a wad of cotton batting wet with peppermint essence against the offendinj; molar, and there was hope that she would be all right before night came. During the long day. if the ache permitted, she could swing in her hammock, climb the cherry tree after the ripe fruit, hunt for hens’ eggs in the barn and watch the ducks and goslings in the horse pond. “There is only two things to look out for,” said the aunt when she was ready to drive away. "Keep your eyes out for hawks and tramps. As we haven’t seen a tramp for six weeks, I guess you won't be bothered, but them hawks are liable to drop down any time. If one comes, you be sure to shoot It. I’ve heard that shooting a gun Las been known to cure the toothache." Uncle and aunt had been gone an hour when the toothache ceased, and Miss Nettle piled into her hammock under the pear tree with a book. She was just opposite the kitchen door and only thirty feet away, and just Inside the door stood the shotgun. The maid had great confidence that if hawk or tramp came along she would play the part of a heroine. At 11 o’clock, when the young man who boarded down at Stevens’ came past the bouse with his kodak, he was satisfied from the swinging of the hammock that Mrs. Nettie was reading.

Two hours later, when he had snapshotted an old lop horned cow, a crab apple tree and a brook that seemed to be flowing up hill, he returned to find the hammock so still that there was no doubt In his mind that the occupant was asleep. He had not past the house, walking as slowly as possible, when he caught sight of half the body of a man In an open window on the other side. Whoever it was had come sneaking down through the cornfield. It w-as up to the young man to Investigate. He started out with the Impression that the intruder was a tramp, and he picked up a club, scaled the

: picket fence and gave a shout. The man in the window heard and drew back. He saw and dropjied to the ground and ran around the corner of the house. He ran Into the hammock and its sleeping occupant and fell over them and bourit-ed said sleeping occupant out on the grass. At about the same moment the young man from Stevens’, who bad started to pursue the unknown, caught his foot and took a roll, and he was so slow In picking the currant bushes out of his 1 1 enrly hair when he did get up that he I turned the corner just as the bewil- . dared Nettle had dashed Into the kltch , en. seized the gun and waa ready tor •I hawks. She hal been rudely awakened, d' Bore rudely dumped on the grass sod

Presently, aa MUs Nettie listened with her ears against the door, she heard groans. That mount she had only wounded the tramp. Her heart wai touched by those groans. She could not see the mau after she had opened the deer an inch or two. because he was Jtwt around the corner of the h»aie. but aha called out to him; "Are you going away beiore 1 shoot again?’ , "I—l can't say” was tho reply. “I’m afraid I eaa’t walk without help.” “Why not?” “Because you have ahot me in the legs.” "But my sunt told me to look ont for hawks and tramps." "But I am neither one nor the other." Judging from his volee. he was a gentleman instead, and after drawing a leag breath and breathing a prayer the girl stepped out and peered around tho corner of the heuee. That young man from Stevens’ waa lying on his elbow ea ths grass. His face was very pale. »n 4 there woes bloM spots on the lege es his trousers. At night of her be smiled faintly and said: “My Mme ie Arthur Welbourne. 1 ' am stepping with my relatives, the ] Steveneee. I Uro In the city and am an artist. If yen will pardon me, I ( will say that 1 have heard yon are , Wise Ward. In passing die house while you slept In the hammock I saw a tramp climblag into a window. I gave tho alarm, and ho escaped. Ho It was I who rambled over your hammock and awoke yeu." 1 "Aad I thought yeu were a—a hawk ; or a tramp and shot you.'” gasped the girl as she wrung her hands. "Bat fortnsately without serious results, All the sh it struck my legs. but ‘ I may aool assistance to get down home.”

“But I shan't let you get down home. Here, take my hand and see if you ean stand on your feet. Now hang on to my arm and let me get you Into the house and on to the loufige. How could I hove been stick a silly girl'; Now, then, you lie down here, and I’li run for Dr. James. 1 know he lives in the first house above here. I’ll brlug him right back with me.” Eae was gons before Mr. Welbourne could protest and was back In half an hour with the good natured country doctor. It took ifbuut an hour to pick out the score of bird shot that had been fired into the young man’s legs, and during thia time Miss Nettie walk ed up and down in the back yard with tears in her eyes and no care if the hawks came down and took every hen on the place. The doctor assured her that Mr. Welbourne would live. Mr. Welbourne himself assured her that he was bound to live to make her further acquaintance, and he was taken down to the Stevenses in the doctor's buggy. He limped for three or four days, during which time Miss Nettie and her called twice, and then be ceased limping and returned the calls. Inside of a week he was Something more than a caller. It beats all bow fast a girl who shoots a man .and the man who Is shot by her can get ac-quainted-very well acquainted. Matrimony and hawks are sometimes shot at with a gun. The Land of Ducks. There are more ducks in China than In all the rest of the world. Chinn, ]jf. erally, is white with 'these birds, and day and night the country resounds with their metallic and scornful voices. Children herd ducks on every road, on ever}- pond, on every farm, on every lake, on every river. There is no back yard without its duck house. There is no boat, little or great, without Its duck quarters. Even In the cities of China ducks abound. They dodge between the coolies’ legs. They flit, squawking, out of the way of the horses. Their Indignant quack will not unseldom drown the roar of urban commerce. All over the land there are great duck hatching establishments, many of them of a capacity huge enough to produce 50.000 young ducks every year. The Chinese duck is extremely tender and delicate—the best tame duck for eating in the weld. Duck among the Chinese is the staple delicacy. It is salted and smoked like ham or beet and duck eggs are eaten as chicken eggs are in America.

The Oldest Bank .Votes. The oldest bank notes in the world are the "Cylng money,” or convenient money, first Issued in China In 2807 B. C. One writer tells that the ancient Chinese bank notes were in many respects similar to those of the present day, bearing the name of the bank, the date of Issue, the number of the note, the sl-.nature of the official who Issued it and its value in both figures and words. On the top of these curiou» notes wns the following philosophic Injunction: "Produce nil you can; •pend with economy." The note was printed In blue ink on paper made from the fiber of the mulbcrrr tree One of these notes bearing the date 1399 B. C. Is still preserved In the All•tic nmnenm at St. Petersburg.
