PRISONER. OF FREEDOM

By IZOLA L. FORRESTER Copyright IMS, by T. C. McClur It was the Ideal brook for trout Down between two hills it rambled In zigzag fashion, gray Uchentd rocks breaking its course Into miniature maelstroms and little fussy, foaming cataracts until It reached the broad, willow shaded pond in the valley. purreughs tramped leisurely uphill. It was nearly noon, and he was due at The Pines at 1 for luncheon, but each deep, green pool tempted him to a fresh cast, and the air was warm and lazy. He chose a flaj rock, shelving corner of the brook and seated himself for a final chance at the speckled charmers that flashed like quicksilver through the water now and then. Far below him there was the faint popping of fireworks in the village, and beyond, out at the Narrows, the cannon of the forts boomed every once in awhile in honor of the birthday of freedom. But Burroughs was apathetic to the sound. There was a glamour about the wooded, rock ribbed hills and delicious silence that appealed to his city wearied mind. Charley had promised him a Fourth of absolute peace and quietude if he would come down to The Tines. There was good fishing, fine trout especially, lie could try the automobile if he chose, and finally Captain Ililbert and "I KIND OF THOUGHT I'D KEICH YE, SON'NY, THIS TIME." his daughter were to spend half of the day at The Pines and had long expressed a desire to meet the literary chrysalis of the hour. "You don't have to show off, old man," his brother-in-law had said reassuringly. '"They're old stock, you know, and live plain, but exclusive, even if the old tar has twin millions tied up somewhere. It will be Just a pleasant little Liberty day party, and I think you'll like Bess Hilbert." Burroughs rather thought he would too. He bad seen her photograph, a large platino type, whose delicate tones brought out the beauty of the gay, girlish face, and it had appealed to his artistic sen. The bamboo rod quivered gently, and before lie could think twice he had a trout flashing upward in the sunlight. At the same instant a hand gripped his coat collar firmly. "I kind of thought I'd ketch ye, sonny, this time. Jest drop thet pole." "Clear out, will you?" gasped Burroughs wrathfully. but a friendly rap on the knuckles from a knotty stick sent the rod flying, and he faced his assailant. He was a tall, stoop shouldered old man, with shrewd, twinkling eyes, a broad brimmed straw hat and chin whiskers. "I've been lookin' for you. sonny, for several weeks," he said pleasantly. "Kind of like our trout, don't ye?" "I was not aware that I was trespassing," iK'jjan Burroughs stifily. "If you will take your hand off my collar I shall be glad to pay any fine due." "Course you would; tickled to death and get off scot free of worldly examples, but the captain's orders, sonny, didn't contain any mention of tines. 'If you ketch the scamp. Hiram,' sez he, 'jest hang on to him, and we'll make a shining example of him on this glorious day of freedom.' Right about face! March!" One is at a disadvantage with a hand or steel on the collar, just where the knuckles can grind persuasively into the neck, and a hickory rod is being juggled over one's head. Burroughs made a desperate effort to wrench himself free and stumbled helplessly in the attempt. "Say, look here," he cried. 'Til give you $10 if you'll let me go." "March! Left, left!" "Twenty!" "Sonny, If you Insult my old frlnid. Hiram flicks, again I'll break you. infernal noddle into small, dry chips. Left, left!" Burroughs set his teotb and marched with as good grace as possible. Ite had caught the word "captain." It must be Captain Ililbert whose trout he had unwittingly poached. He wondered with sudden horror whether the lank, incorruptible "cmcsis at his heels would haul him befre the captain and brand him a criminal in the presence of Miss Hilbert. They had passed through a grove of oaks and walnuts. An old fashioned

colonial mansion showed beyond an apple orchard, but he was turned away from it and taken to an old corncrib which stood between the orchard and the huge white barn. It was empty and nearly stifling. The double doors were ponderous and were barred from the outside. "I reckon you'll be tolerable easy here till the captain gets home," said Hiram cheerfully. "I'll bring you some water and be handy In case of emergency." "Now, see here," began Burroughs sternly. "Once for all, I had no idea of stealing your devilish trout. I am a guest of Mr. Merrill of The Pines" "That' all right, eonny," Interrupted Hiram soothingly.' "You He down there In the corner and take a nap on it while you're waiting. I don't doubt your intentions one bit now, but you were stealing trout, and I ketched you in the act. and the captain sez. 'Hiram, If you ketch the scamp thet's stealin' my trout you keep him,' and I'm going to hang on to you." The hours crept by. Burroughs walked back and forth in his prison. He wondered if they would send a search party after him. Iliram brought fresh water to him several times and chatted pleasantly through, the broad cracks of v the crib where the sunlight filtered through in broad rays of golden motes. Bnt the hickory club was in readiness for possible mutiny, and Burroughs knew his cause was hopeless. When twilight eame and he lay down from sheer weariness of walking Hiram called out that the fireworks down at his friend's place were right pretty, and he thought grimly that mo oiip was worrying on his account after all. About 9 o'clock carriage wheels sounded on the drive, and after awhile Hiram opened the doors cautiously. "He's right in here, captain." he said, with a chuckle. "I ketched him yanking out a dandy." "Come out, sir." called Captain Hilbert heartily. "Come out, you scamp!" Burroughs walked out angry and indignant, yet half amused as he saw consternation in the captain's eyes. lie explained his identity briefly, and Hiram sat down on the chopping block and whistled as the two linked arms and strolled to the house. The blue eyes of Bess Hilbert twinkled with merriment when she heard the story of the capture over a late supper, but they also seconded her father's invitation to spend a week or more with them as atonement for his celebration of the Fourth. "The trout fishing is very good here, Mr. Burroughs," she added demurely. "I enjoy it myself." "And he's a mighty slick fisherman, thet boy." Hiram said three weeks later as he sat on the shelving rock over the trout brook and watched two figures farther down the hillside under the willows. "He certainly does land "some beauties." Under the willows Bess laughed happily". "You'll be my prisoner for life now. Stanley," she said teasingly. "In the glorious cause of freedom," answered Burroughs, kissing her as Hiram kindly turned his back. "I'll surrender to the captain tonight, sweetheart." Fashion Hint For Mother. "I don't pay much attention to hats," said Mr. Nason to his wife, "but I saw one on the train today that was very tasteful and becoming, and I thought to myself, 'I'll tell Sally about that hat, and perhaps she'll have one like It.' " "Now describe it, Cyrus," said Mrs. Nason, her rubicund face alight with interest and pleasure. "Since the girls married and went off there's been nobody to pay much attention to my hats." "Well," said Mr. Nason slowly, "It was a kind of a curious shape, very large and flat on the crown, except that there was some sort of bunches sticking up here and there. The brim was wide and kind of floppy on one side, and the other side was tied back some way in two places with some scarlet ribbon. I guess, come to think of it, 'twas what you'd call magenta. Then there were flowers springing round the brim in different places, white and pink, and some sprays of green leaves that fell over the edge, and I recollect seeing some berries here and there. "But the best thing of all was a large white bow that waved around. It looked so so careless and easy. It just gave the finishing touch." "I should think it would have." And Mrs. Nason's tone was dry enough to dishearten a less enthusiastic person. "How old should you say the woman was?" "Oh, she wasn't exactly a woman didn't hiipp -n to be the one who had it on." said Mr. Nason Ingenuousiy. "She was well, she might have been fifteen maybe." Youth's Companion.

Woodcock and Snipe. There is quite a long list of birds known as snipe, but the one most commonly regarded as the snipe is the Wilson snipe (Gallinago dejicata). There is only one American bird called woodcock. This (Philohela minor) is entirely distinct from the various snipe, yet is of similar appearance. From this resemblance, or snipelike appearance, the woodcock is incorrectly named (or perhaps we ou.Liht to say nicknamed) blind snipe, wall eyed snipe, mud snipe, big headed , sni; o, tvood snipe, whistling snipe, etc. The various true snipe, the one woodcoct (not really a snipe, but resembling iSiem) and various sandpipers ihat also have long bills and bore in the mud all belong to one family (scolopncidae). All these birds have somewhat simi lar appearance and habits. They frequent lowlands or plowed lands, such as cornfields, where the soil is soft, so that they can use their lon bills in probing for worms or insects, etc. The Wilson snipe is smaller, trimmer of figure and a better flier than the woodcock.

GOING BACK TO THE FARM.

The Asrrlcultural College am a Factor In Upbuilding; of Country Life. Oiie of the most serious problems that confronts the economic world today is to keep the young men on the farms, says the Lewlston (Me.) Journal. For many years there has been a tendency to congregate lu the cities, and to such an extent has this been carried that all the vocations of city life have been so overcrowded that today it is well nigh impossible for a stranger te get a foothold. For every situation there are a score of applicants, and the young man who has no influential friends to render him aid is Indeed nnfertunate. We have long believed that this condition of affairs would correct itself. One of the reasons that our young men have been so willing to leave the old country home has been the lack of country attractions. This can hardly be said to hold good today. The trolley car, telephone and free rural delivery have well nigh wiped out the distinctions between city and suburban life. Another powerful factor now working for the pubuildlng of the country life is the agricultural college. Our young men are fast learning that farming is no longer the haphazard business of a forrner day, but is one of the most exacting and scientific of pursuits. With this knowledge come a higher respect for the vocation and a stronger desire to enter the Industry. The tide is thus gradually but surely turning, and the time is near at hand when farming will be held in the same high regard here that it has long been in England. In'that country when a man achieves financial success he at once seeks a country estate for a home. Here the reverse has long held true, and the city home has been held up as the ideal. This false system of ethics is rapidly going to the wall, and a more exalted idea of country life is taking its place. Rich and poor alike are beginning to take to the farm. It is the ideal spot for a home. A NOVEL PHENOMENON. Dr. W. J. Hammer Haa an X Ray Tsbe That Singes. Dr. W. J. Hammer, an electrical engineer of New York city, whose studies of the phenomena exhibited by vacuum tubes have attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic and who ia the author of a book on radium, recently made a novel observation which may possibly prove significant, says the New York Tribune. He noticed that one of these tubes after being excited and then being removed from the influence of any recognized force emitted a faint, continuous musical sound for several minutes. It might be suggested that the effect was purely thermal and came from two tiny disks cf metal close tc each other and constituting one of the terminals inside the tube. This terminal, the "antieathode," had been slightly damaged by overheating, and a small hole had been burned through it. Text books on physics describe a phenomenon similar to that here mentioned. It is observed with apparatus known as '-'the Trevelyan rocker." Dr. Hammer is convinced, however, that the sound from his tube is not produced in this manner. His own theory is that the tube is acted upon by a class of ether waves emitted from some distant source akin to those which have been suggested as a possible cause of the radiations of radium. Whatever Dr. Hammer's riper judgment in the matter or the opinions of other experts, the incident is noteworthy. NEW CORN AND COB RECORD Blissonri Farmers Who Will Shell Their Corn Before Selling: It. According to good authorities, the highest average amount of corn to the cob that can be raised is about 8S pet cent corn and 12 per cent cob. But the high authorities had not heard from Missouri when they figured up their average, and two Cooper county farmers have recently made it look like 3C cents, says the Kansas City Journal. W. J. McFarland of near Boonville recently weighed seventy pounds of corn in the ear. He then shelled the corn and weighed corn and cobs separately. The corn weighed sixty-four and one-half-pounds and the cobs five and one-half pounds, making 92 1-7 per cent corn and 7 G-7 per cent cob. The corn was exhibited at the Boonville corn show. It. B. Johnston of Clark's Fork, who made a display at the Boonville shoAv of thirty-nine pounds of corn, found after shelling it that his corn weighed thirty-four and one-lrilf pounds and his cobs four and one-half pounds that is, he raised b8 G-13 per cent corn to 11 7-13 per cent cob. In almost all the states of the Union seventy pounds of corn on the cob is considered a bushel and fifty-six pounds off the cob. It would pay men who raise such corn as do Messrs. McFarland and Johnston to shell their corn before selling it. Motor Bulldlnt; In France. Probably few foreigners have any idea of the extent to which the motor car industry has been developing in France, says the Autocar. Last year there were seyenty makers of complete chassis, turning out 13,0X) vehicles. During the present year this number has been enormously increased. It is clear that if all these makers are to di a profitable business there nrt Ik' a rapid increase of demand. Bat as Ions as prices are so high this desired increase is not likely to be required. Makers have beeu giving special attention to the export trade, which has grown at a p! enomenal rate during the past two year:, and as the value of auto cars sent abroad during the first ter months of the year totaled nearly 44,000.000 francs it is certain that the exports for 1903 will exceed 2,000,000, ,
