IaUNTBETTY’sI ' CROW — By DONALD ALLEN Aunt Betty lived in a poor little cottage In the suburbs of the village. Her only income came from washing, though to be sure there were kind- . hearted people who were glad to help her out when her rheumatic spells came on and she could not use her hands. Her special patron was the merchant's daughter, Miss May Graham. As a girl of twelve Miss May used to go over to the cottage and sweep and dust and cook and cheer the patient up. She had come to be nineteen, and yet the visits continued. One day a tin peddler came along with something besides tinware to sell. It was a tame crow. The bird could make a fair attempt at singing and talking. At least, he was a lively crow, and it was purchased to be presented to Aunt Betty, who hadn’t good luck keeping a cat about the house. The bird’s antics and chatter would be a diversion. Mr. Crow was tied by the leg for a week, and then he had no thought of frying away. It came to = be known whose crow he was and the stone-throwing boys did not bother him. Miss May had been in the eity for four days, to find upon her return that Aunt Betty’s hands and arms were aching with rheumatism. The doctors had said that she could never be free from t|re ailment, but she always found temporary relief by rubbing the fresh plant of the Wintergreen over the affected parts. Many and many an armful of the plant had the girl gathered. Shediad to go down the ■ highway a bit and then turn aside to i when the creek ran through a marshy spot. On this day she left the cottage almost on the run, and the crow 'ollowted, scolding her ■ for. her long ibsence. While she gathered the plants he sat on the limb of a dead tree not far away. Presently the girl heard the chug of an auto, but she hadn’t the curiosity to look up. She heard it halt a few yards away, but it could have nothing to do with her. “A splendid target, but - I’ll wager you don’t hit it!” “Three to one I do!” Miss May straightened up in a breath. There were two young men in the auto, and one had a pistol on the tame crow, who was Moking down without fear. “Don’t! Don’t shoot!” It was too late. The shot rang out and. the poor bird fell. Miss May flung down the plants she had gathiOfw “Don’t! Don’t Shoot!” ered and advanced upon the auto. Its occupants stared at her as she came. Her cheeks were red and her eyes flashing. “You —you ruffian!” she exclaimed at the young man who still held the revolver in his hand. In her indignation she did not take notice whether he was young or old, fair or ugly. All she did notice was that he had big black eyes, and her big blue ones looked straight into them as she continued: “It was the cruelest act I ever heard of, and you ought to be sent to prison for it!” “Why, I have simply shot a erow!” he replied in a dazed way. “Yes,- but whose crow was it! Oh, man, it was a dastardly act!” “Drive on!” whispered the other young man, with a nudge of the elbow. “Yes, drive on, like two cowards!” replied the girl as she caught the words. “You have committed something almost as bad as murder, and now it’s for you to sneak away!.” “You are mistaken,” replied the man with the big black eyes as hie lifted his cap at last and stepped down. “I—l don’t understand at all. Please ’explain.” Miss May stepped to the spot where the dead crow lay, and picking it up in her arms she returned and said: “It was a tame crow. It belonged to poor Aunt Betty. She will cry her eyes out,over its death.” “A tame crow? Why, I don’t think I ever heard of one. You see, we saw it sitting up there, and I thought I would try this new pistol. I hadn’t an Idea—an idea—” "No. You thought you could shoot

at anything that came in your way! You didn’t happen to see me, or J might have been the target!” “Please don’t be too harsh on me ’ I’m willing to do anythfcg to make ■ good. Where does this Aunt Betty i live? I’ll try and make it right with her.” The girl passed him the crow, went ' back for her plants, and when she re I turned shewed the way to the cottage j crying a little and saying never s word. The black-eyed man walked be side her, while the other drove th« auto to thd inn. “Aunt Betty,” said Miss as the cottage was reached, “here is a mar who has shot your Dickie!” “What! Killed my crow!” wailed the old woman. ' “Madam,” replied the man, “I have had that misfortune. I saw him sitting on a limb, and I supposed he was a wild crow. It was very foolish of me - to shoot at all, but I did. and I can’t tell you how much I regret it.” “But Dickie was company for me He kept me cheered up. He was more to me than any person except May. Why, the place will be so lonely that I won’t want to live any longer!” “Won’t you please speak a word for me?” asked the man of Miss May, who sat with tears in her eyes and her lip trembling. She brushed away the tears and looked at him for a long minute. He had a kindly face, and his eyes looked the sympathy and regret he felt. She went over to Aunt Betty and put her arm around her and said: “It’s too bad, but we musn't cry over it. I—l think the gentleman will get you another tams crow, if he can find one.” “If you will please leave It to me,” was answered. “Here is my card.” It was not glanced at until the Wintergreen plants had been well rubbed on. Then Miss May say the address read: “Mr. Adison Bruce, N. Y. City? “He—he shot Dickie, but I like him,” said the old woman as,the girl was ready to go.” “I’m sure he’ll get you another “And did you notice his eyes?” - “I saw they were black.” I “And he felt bad, didn’t he?” “I beliewe he did.” “And shooting a crow—and youi pitching into him —and he coming here and begging my pardon—and he re placing Dickie —and then falling in love with you—is that what young folks call romance?” “Aunt Bet, are you really going out of your mind?” was five reproof as Miss May hurried out of the house. Mr. Adison Bruce did not leave the village with his companion. He settled right down there. He didn’t hunt for tame crows, but he sent up town for a mocking bird, and Aunt Betty received it with joy. Then, after Miss Graham had given him her name, and her father had said the Bruce family was of the best, she entered into a little plot with the murderer of the tame crow. A better cottage was bought for Aunt Betty, and she was moved in to leave poverty and the washboard behind her. What’s a couple of thousand dollars to a rich young man who has shot a tame crow and is sorry for it, and who has at the same time found the girl pf all the girls he wants for a wife? It wasn’t so many weeks ago that the happy Aunt Betty said to the sing ing Miss May: “Yes, I guess this is romance. B only the parlor was big enough to hold you all IM have the marriage take place right here!” And when the girl retorted: “What marriage!” her blushes gave hej away. New Heat Unit. The use of gas for heating as well as lighting has made obsolete the old unit, the candle-power, owing to the fact that this unit rates merely the brihtness of the flames, not the heating power, according to a writer In * Deville and more recent expert menters discovered a remarkable pro portion between the light land heat of a mantle, and using this, makers are rating burners according to the units of heat given to them per unit of time in standard calorics. Gas of 5,200 calorics efficiency a cubic meter has been recommended as the standard. The latest designs of burners for heat and lighting require that the gas have a fairly constant consumption, since the maximum efficiency of the burned it attained only when the relative quantities of air and gas are closely regulated. Water gas may be added to prevent excessive variation in caloric value. Witnesses. Whenever the Rev.

TOWN IS BEfNG REBUILT Flood of Waters Has Not Taken Black River Falls, Wis., From the Map. More than a million dollars absolutely disappearing in the short time of two hours was the toll collected by the waters at Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Even the residents of the town could not realize what it meant until the lake formed by the Hatfield dam was dry, and the of waters had passed on to the Mississippi. Just out of reach of the flood the business men and residents of the i place watched the Waters carry away | the buildings that' 1 represented the homes of business enterprises which It had taken years of effort to build. Among the larger industries seemingly wiped out within a ! few minutes was the plant of Coles Carbolisalve. This plant, along with others that suffered a like fate, is todtu- being rebuilt, and the business men of Black River Falls promise that a better town shall replace the one destroyed by the raging floods, and that just as rapidly as men and material can piit it together. It is catastrophies like the breaking of the Hatfield dam that demonstrate the American spirit. GIVEf)! UP TO DIE. Cured By Doan’s Kidney Pills After Doctors Gave Up Hope. J. L.

A child with a serious ailment needs a doctor, it is true, but in the majority of instances, as any doctor knows, the child suffers from some intestinal trouble, usually constipation. There is no sense in giving it a pill or a remedy containing an opiate, nor is flushing of the bowels to be always recommended.
