CHLOE AND A STILE

As we came down the field of waving corn on Lavender bill Cbloe was talking quite heroically of life. Her hair had been blown a little into admired disorder by the bluff wind on the heath, her cheeks were flushed with health and beauty, and she was mistress and queen of herself and her domain. “You know,” she said firmly, “it Is quite absurd to pretend that women tore one whit Inferior to men, except, of course,” she added quickly, “In regard to physical strength.” “And even then there were the Amazons,” I suggested. “Do you know,” I said, stopping in midfield to observe her critically, “I believe that if you only practiced a little you would be more than a match for a man.” She looked away across the corn. “Do—do you think so?” she said hesitatingly, and added, after a pause, “I I don’t think I’m so—l’m not what you’d call muscular.” “Well, perhaps not,” I assented, examining her appraisingly. ‘-‘But sinewy, say.” “How absurd!” said Cbloe. She walked on; I followed. “Another stile,” said I cheerfully. “Dear me; that’s the fourth,” said Chloe resignedly. “I do wish they’d make gates between the fields.” “Ah,” said I, smiling, “there’s one thing at any rate in which men are superior. They can negotiate a stile,” “Indeed!” said Chloe loftily. “I should have thought the feat was not Impossible for a woman.” I pursed top my lips. “Any woman can get over stiles,” she said warmly, seeing my skepticism. I shrugged my shoulders. She marched coldly and confidently toward the stile. It took off a high ground, which, I suppose, accounted for the absence of a step. But there were two crossbars to assist the climber. I thought Chloe’s face fell as she noted it.

“Let me give you a hand,” I said. “Nonsense!” she replied. “I don’t want any assistance. It’s quite easy.” “Perhaps I’d better take the sunshade,” I suggested. She did not answer at once; then, “If you wish It,” she replied nonchalantly, "though It’s of no consequence.” I took the sunshade and waited. Chloe’s two feet were now On the lowest bar. She peered over. The stile let down beyond in a big drop into a kind of hollow or ditch. “Oh,” said she, "I didn’t”— I was still waiting. -“Do go on!” she called out vehemently. I went on leisurely. But somehow I could not make up my mind to walk briskly. She did not join me, so I flung myself upon the grass and polled out a cigarette. Then I heard my name called in a distressful voice. I stood up and looked round. Miss Bo hun was still astride the top bar, and she was pinker than ever. “Please, come! Don’t be so unkind!” she cried, with tears in her voice. I hurried back like the wind. “Oh, just give me your hand!” panted Chloe, nervously lifting one from the bar. "I can’t It’s such a long drop. I can’t get my”— “Wait a bit” said I, considering. “You’re halfway over now. You’ve only got to lift that foot off the bar and”— “I shall go over. I know I shall go over,” she said pathetically. “No, you won’t,” said I. "It only requires confidence. Imagine you’re on a horse and”— “But I don’t ride a horse this way,” said Chloe miserably. “No,” said I, “but men do, and women are just as good as”— “It’s cruel of you—it’s beastly, when I’m In such peril!” sobbed Miss Bohun. She clutched wildly for me with the trembling hand she had disengaged. I seized it and her. “Now, Just lift that foot,” I enjoined. Chloe’s weight lay on my shoulder. “I can’t get it free; it’s stuck,” she said pitifully. I moved closer, stiH with my burden on my shoulder, and loosed the dainty foot. “Now,” I said. She lifted It gingerly. “Don’t mind about your ankles,” I said. “Oh, but I am”— Her foot went back. “Shut your eyes, please,” she entreated. I shut my eyes. The next instant the weight on me was doubled and two arms went strangllngly about my neck. As I have explained, the foothold descended into a hollow. I went down precipitately on my head. I saw several cornfields and two or three stiles, also more than one Chloe. But I seemed content to be there. Miss Bohun extracted herself quickly. “Oh, are you hurt? Oh, how dreadful of me I” she said.

“I liked it, ’ I said, “and I’m only hurt In one place.” “I—you frightened me,” she said, with u serious little laugh. “I’m so sorry! Is It your head?” I shook it and sat up. “No, luckily I was born thick headed.” “Your—your knee?” she inquired again hesitatingly. “Certainly not my knee,” I replied. “Then”— Chloe turned away. She might have asked further questions, but she didn’t. She was busy smoothing her skirt. “I can’t think why they make such horrible things,” she said. “Oh, but any woman can get over a ■tile,” I told her. She made no reply, but turned right away. “Please,” I called, “won’t you help me up?” Miss Bohun turned back reluctantly. \ made a face of pain. “It’s your ankle,” she said, with sadden anxiety. I winbed and took bar hand, and then I was on my feet with that hand In mine. “No, it’s here,” I said In a lower voice, laying that hand on my heart. "It was here long ago.” I drew her to me. “Do you always do that to people you help over stiles?” asked Chloe, betweoß a smile and a sob.—H. B. MarriottWatson.

spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain, and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is beyond all question. Everyone who has tried it has had the same experience as Mrs. D. W. Tlmberlake, of Lynchburg, Va., who, In a recent letter, made use of the following words: “I always take a dose of Peruna after business hoars, as Ills a great thing for theuerves. There is no better spring tonic, and I have used about all of them.”—Mrs. D. W. Tlmberlake.

a match with De Oro so that he can put a stop to the latter’s claim of unfair treatment De Oro, who is a Cuban, wants the match played In Havana while Keogh says St. Louis Is a better place. De Oro claims the trophy as his own and says he will sue Keogh for it College Basket Ball Rales. The president of the Intercollegiate Basket Ball association has appointed a committee which is to meet at the University of Pennsylvania May 26 and 27 to revise the rules of the game. In conjunction with the rules committee meeting there will be a general convention of representatives from all of the colleges in the country possessing basket ball teams for the purpose of organization. Tills meeting will also be held at the University of Pennsylvania and will occur at the same time as the Intercollegiate championship track and field games. Among the changes in the rules which will be agitated are the following: Lengthening of the game by calling for twenty-five minute halves instead of the present two twenty-minute peri"ods. Change in the sice of the playing courts, raising the minimum slse from 2,400 square feet to 3,000.

Catarrh in Spring. The spring is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every spring. The system is rejuvenated by spring weather. This renders medicines more*effectlve. A short course of Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of spring, will cure .old, stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted treatment for years. Everybody should have a copy of Dr. Hartman’s latent book on catarrh. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., Co* lumbuß. Ohio.

Elimination of the rules which give the referee power of awarding a point when a player is fouled while shooting for goal. Changes in the method of scoring from foul, which will be brought about in one of two ways—vix, either lengthening the foul throwers’ restraining mark from fifteen to twenty feet or else altering the ratio of the valne of the field and foul goals, making field goals count three points and foul goals as one. Amts Owner* Increasing. According to reliable reports there are something like 20,000 automobiles In use on the roads of New York state, while the records on file at the office of the secretary of state show 5,000 professional motorists registered under the requirements of the motor vehicle law. This indicates a tremendous growth of automoblllng in the Umpire State, for In 1901, which is the first year that automobiles required registration, there were only 1,200 machines owned and operated in the state. Although not all registered machines are owned by persons residing In New York, at least 75 per cent of them can be so rated. Of course some motorists own two and three machines. Colonel John Jacob Astor beads the list of individuals with twenty-two of various - styles and horsepower under his name at Albany. Next to him comes W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., who is credited with fourteen. The largest owners are the great department stores and mercantile establishments, which operate their delivery system by this means. Auto Endurance Race. Secretary B. A. Lody of the St. Paul Automobile club has returned from Chicago, where he was successful in making arrangements for the gigantic run from Chicago to St. Paul about the middle of July. It Is to take the form of an endurance run, and machines will be entered from Illinois, Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin and Indiana. It Is expected that 1,000 automobiles will make the 500 mile trip.
