Adopting Malcolm

By TROY ALLISON

The doctor walked through the dew damp grass and weeds where his horse bad been patiently waiting all the hours he had struggled to keep Mackenzie living. He stood there In the heart of the great Santee swamp, looking disconsolately at th! pines. They rose In majestic challenge of the swamp cypress that had cfept gradually beyond its marsh limits and forced Its gnarled, knotty knees across the hl|?b water line. The doctor had never before been In the swamp at 5 o’clock in the morning; Its weird influence seemed even more oppressive In the early gray light. After fighting all night and losing—the damp tropical exuberance of the place made him feel helpless; a luxurious force of nature—he felt man’s skill and science were small factors with which to fight. Mackenzie had seemed out of place in a lumber camp. The doctor had been called Into the camp Several months before, when one of the lumbermen had been caught under a falling tree. He had noticed the quiet capability of the Scotchman, the deft assistance he had given with the wounded man and the conciseness of his orders to the Canadians who made up the camp. Afterward an intimacy had arisen between them, an attachment the doctor never had felt for any other man—and, In spite of the best efforts of his science, Mackenzie lay dead In the tent, a victim of swamp fever. He unfastened the bridle rein and had put his foot in the stirrup to mount when a little voice from a shadowy bush growth called him pitifully. “May I go to daddy now, Dr. Morton?” the child asked eagerly. “I’ve been waiting and waiting.” The doctor’s throat twitched uncomfortably. “I had forgotten you existed, Malcolm.” He eyed the small boy In front of him, whose mere exist-

"MAT I GO TO DADDY MOW, DR. MORTON?” THE CHILD ASKED.

ence took the form of a gigantic problem. He stooped over suddenly and raised him to the saddle in front of him. “I’ll take you home with me to breakfast,” he said sbcjrtly. “I’ll bring you back to your father later.” At 10 o’clock Dr. Morton knocked on the door of the cottage where the village schoolteacher boarded. “The only fortunate thing 1 can see about the whole affair, Miss Gregory, is that today is Saturday and you are at liberty to take time to discuss the problem with me,” he aadd disconsolately. 'y Mary Gregory’s quiet lfftle smile always had a soothing effect upon the doctor’s nerves. “And he has no relatives living, you say?" she asked. “Not one. I have often heard Mackenzie say that he and the little chap were the last of the family. By George, I’ll adopt him,” the doctor finished, a flush of determination rising to his face. “Here I am, an old bachelor of forty-five, without,kith or kin. I’ll adopt him,” he repeated. Miss Gregory’s thin little face wore a pink flush. “I always knew you were the kindest mao living,” she said. He gave a little deprecatory cough. “But I don’t know what on earth I’ll do with him.” He collapsed helplessly. “I might get him a pony,” he added rather aimlessly. Miss Mary’s quiet little smile peeped around the corners of her mouth. “Don’t you think he’s rather small for a pony?” she hazarded. “Well, he must have —er something.” His eyes were beginning to look helpless. “The old colored woman that keeps house for me could look after his bodly comfort, but I don’t imagine she could do much in the training line.” The doctor’s thoughts bad evidently become overwhelming. “Send him over to sit In the schoolroom during school hours'” Miss Mary’s suggestion seemed a comblna tlon of the wisdom of Salomon and the spirit of the Delphic oracle to the bemuddled doctor. * “Recommend me to a woman for brains any day, Miss Mary,” he said, In relief, as he took up hia hat to leave. “That child seems to need some •lothes or something.” be told her a

week later when he met her coming from the postoffice. “I don’t seem to be able to make him look fixed up. Could not you make a list of things you think boys ought to have? I’m going into the city tomorrow, and I want to fix the little chap out decently. I’m going to take out the regular adoption papers. Malcolm Morton —I rather like the sound of it,” he said musingly, opening the front gate for her and following her Into the house upon his own invitation. “Lend me your notebook and pencil.” She seated herself gayly at a little table. “I don’t believe an old maid of thirty-five has much more wisdom concerning the needs of a small boy than an (fid bachelor of forty-five,” she suggested. “Put down one of those little flat blue caps with an anchor worked on It first,” said Dr. Morton. “And a dark blue blouse suit to go with it,” added Miss Mary, jotting down the two Items. “And probably an unlimited number of shoes, from all I’ve heard on the subject.” He sat with his chin propped In the palm of his hand, his eyes abstractedly fixed upon the picture of General Lee that hung above the mantel. “We might limit him to two pairs for a beginning.” The woman made little meditative pencilings up and down the margin. “I think I'll add a football and a fairy tale book to amuse him,” she added, surveying the list, which had almost reached the page limit. The doctor gasped. “I can’t read fairy tales to five-year-old children. I’d feel foolish.” He lost his abstracted look and ran his fingers through his graying hair. “But you know you are a family man now," she reminded, with a little murmur of Irrepressible enjoymeut. “You must expect to meet with new difficulties. I wouldn’t let a few fairy tales bother me.” Her eyes twinkled at him in gentle badgery. “Give me that list," he suddenly demanded, taking the paper and pencil from her. “You’ve left off one of the most important items. There’s something else I want to get him.” He scribbled it down hastily. “A mother!” she read in astonishment and looked Into his face with startled eyes. “Don’t you think he ought to have a mother?” he asked insistently. “Per-haps.” She seemed suddenly bereft of ideas for conversation. lie leaned forward and took both her hands In Ills. The notebook and pencil fell unnoticed to the floor. “I seem to be developing a regular mania for being a family man,” he said enthusiastically, “and you know you could read fairy tales better than I could. Won’t you be part of my family?” His voice was full of boyish hope. The little smile around the corners of her mouth was more expressive than ever. “I'll get a marriage license first,” he said joyfully, “and then we will have the papers of adoption made out In both our names.”

Eclipse Incidents.

Sly Norman Lockyer, the well known astronomer, records that he never felt more annoyed In his life than when he dlscovereed after the eclipse in India in 1871 that an army officer who had traveled 400 miles to help at his camp never saw the eclipse at all. It was his duty to time the eclipse with a chronometer; but, knowing this would be difficult unless he kept his eyes fixed on the chronometer, just before the eclipse he deliberately placed his back to Hie sun In order that nothing should tempt him to remove his eyes from the timepiece. At this eclipse Sir Norman had no little trouble with the superstitious natives, who imagined that the sun was about to be swallowed by the dragon Rahu, whom they attempted to scare away by the smoke of sacrificial fires. The smoke would certainly have stopped all observations of the eclipse had not soldiers and policemen promptly put out the fires. Iu Egypt In the eclipse of 1882 soldiers bad to guard the British camp from the excited Egyptians, who would have Invaded It As It was, their wild shrieks ns the sun became overcast were sufficiently disturbing.

Not Too Restful.

“The ‘rest cure,’ ” said the pale faced man wearily, as he stopped to reply to the question of an inquisitive friend, “is not all my fancy painted It. Here is how it worked out In my case: “At 7:30 a. m. the nnrse came to take my temperature, at 8 I had to take a bath and breathing exercise, then came medicine, after which followed breakfast, a visit from the resident physician, massage, a visit from my own doctor, a slight operation to test* the purity or otherwise of my blood, more medicine, dinner, a visit from another patient, letters and tradesmen’s bills, electrical treatment beef tea, more medicine, another visit from the physician, a cold pack and a glass of milk. “That’s how the day passed. At 8 l was thoroughly exhausted and went to sleep, the first real application of the ‘rest cure’ 1 had known since morning. ‘“Best cure,’ Indeed!” And he passed on with a growl.—London Mail.

The Danvers of Bed.

What does the man in the street see In a bedroom? Probably a bed, possibly a waahstaud, problematically a bath. But what does the eye of science behold? Unutterable things perhaps—beds and bacteria, mattresses and microbes, dressing gowns and deadly gases, gas Jets and carbonic oxide, tapestries and toxins. It Is little wonder that so many people say their prayers before going to bed or that so many osople die there.—London Chic.

ANOTHER PRIZE WINNER.

Another Jasper county swine grower who won honors at the State fair, was J. F. Fenwick of Jordan tp., winning second premium on yearling boar, PolandChina breed. The Farmer’s Review paid this hog morq, compliments than the one that was awarded first premium. He is by L & W. Perfection and out of a Black U. S. sow. The Review says of him: “The 2nd prize hog was very wide, deep and mellow with a coat of hair as soft as silk and as black as night. He stood on well formed feet, set on short, thick legs. In hams he was remarkable and when you stood behind him he was simply great.”

CITY VS. COUNTRY LIFE.

A prominent city man says there is no comfort in city life compared to those on the farm, le says: “We who live in large cities overwork, overworry, overeat, and undersleep. We have no time for real rest and tear down aster than we build up. The simple life is left to the ‘rubes’ and ‘jays,’ but the real ‘rubes’ and ‘jays’ live in the cities. We try to do twelve hours’ work in six. Boys and girls of 16 ‘do’ society until after midnight, when they ought to be in bed at 9. We make a business of golf instead of a pastime. Instead of relaxing at the ball game, it is a period of leen anxiety whether the home team will win or the favorite player make a batting record. We lave records to smash in everything and all must be hurry, noise and excitement. We yell ourselves hoarse when college boys smash one another flat in a football game. We are no more careful of our digestive organs than our nerves. Our food is prepared to please the palate rather than nourish the body. It must be quickly cooked, even though its value as food is lost. Our groceries are adulterated, our meats are embalmed, our butter is renovated. We crowd ourselves together in cities and live in dirt and discomfort and shat out the sunshine with a pall of smoke. We live amid shrieks, toots, bells and yells; we dodge trolley cars and automobiles, and move from flat to flat, and never know what peace and quiet mean until we are in our graves.” 160 Acres Freel Walk, Write or Telegraph.

The Democrat last year printed 90 per cent of the sale bills for all the public sales in Jasper county. Why was this? Because we get up the best bill of any print shop in Northwestern Indiana and give a free notice of the sale (in full) in The Democrat, the most widely read paper in the county, and the notice in the paper goes right into the homes of the farmers and does more good than the bills themselves. This year we will again be prepared to handle this class of work in an even more complete and satisfactory manner than last, having added to onr supply of stock cuts and display type, besides having greatly increased the circulation of The Democrat in all parts of Jasper county. If you are going to have a sale it is to your financial interest to have The Democrat print the bills therefor. ~~ Orders' by mail will receive special attention.

A DAILY PAPER FOR FIFTY CENTS A YEAR.

The Democrat has made arrangements with the publishers of The National Daily Review of Chicago whereby it can, for a limited time only, offer that paper and The Democrat each a full year for only 11.50. This offer applies to all new subscribers to The Democrat and to all old subscribers paying arrearages and one year in advance. Such subscribers are also entitled to votes on The Democrat’s piano contest the same as if subscribing for The Democrat alone. This offer is liable to be withdrawn at any time, and if yon want a Chicago daily delivered at your door (if on a rural route) each week day morning fora year, for only 50 cents, when taken in connection with The Democrat, hand in your name and money, or send it in at once. This is an unprecedented offer and you can’t afford to miss it.
