WHEN HERETURNEO Human Interest Story of Broken Financiers Home-Coming. By JOHN LINFOOT. Bremerton, huddled up in his seat, looked out of the window of the jestbound Limited. Neat farm tilled fields, flew past, with slCek cattle that looked up, munching contentedly. out of the lush grasses. It jga the prairie country of lowa, gion of black earth and the nation’s dairy and the her agricultural wealth. Boys with pitchforks, farm-hands seated above their harrows, guiding the draught horses, glanced carelessly at the speeding train and turned to their work once more. They were contented with their lot. Such might have been Bremerton’s. And he, who, until two months before, had been a man feared and respected in the greatest part of America, a power in Wall street, against whom host bad banded themselves and barely prevailed —he found himself almost envying these countrymen. “It looks like my home country,’ he reflected, as he caught sight of a distant range of low hills, blue in the haze of the afternoon. “And to think that I might have been living here, perhaps with my few acres, happy, never knowing or caring of anything that lay behind these hills!” The train slowed, drew into the station, wiuted a few moments, and then puffed again. A man came into the carruige and stopped at Bremerton’s side. The financier looked up with a start and unconcealed Impatience. “Excuse me, sir, but are you John Bremerton?” asked the other. “Well?” Bremerton demanded curtly “I was sure that I was on your track. I knew I had recognized you. I want the inside story of the failure of the Cornucopia bank. I am a repre-, •entative of the lowa Free-Soiler.” “Good Lord, man, that story has been printed in every newspaper between here and Kingdom Come,” said, Bremejston angrily. “Don't you read the metropolitan press out here?”, “O yes, indeed,” said the reporter, smiling, “but you know, Mr. Bremerton, that the story has never come from your own lips. You have suc- a ceeded in secluding yourself from all the newspaper men. Now it would be a great feather in my cap if you would give me an exclusive interview.” - Brepierton softened a little. With the loss of his fortune, the wreck of liopes, with nothing at all s aaved out of the ruin, why should he not at-4east be instrumental in bringing a fragment of reputation to this young man at his side, whose pertinacious good humor had already won his sympathy. “You see, sir," the reporter continued, “of course we have all the details of the failure. We know that you were made the victim ofj>an unscrupulous gang of financiers who wanted your properties. Nobody has ever breathed a word against your reputation. When the crash came youwent back, faced the music, and came out with flying colors. But what are you going to do now ? You are an lowa man by birth, are you not? And you never married, Mr. Bremerton? Have you come back to settle in your state and marry your first sweetheart? I want a real human story.’’ “A real human story!” repeated Bremerton mechanically, and smiled a little bitterly at the irony of events which had left his life, except for his widened experience, just where it had been when he had left Framington. a penniless country boy. fifteen years before. And his first sweetheart — Lizzie Gray! She was only fifteen then and he twenty-one. but he was going to become rich and famous in the metropolis—perhaps be would even make twenty dollars a week — and then, when that miracle occurred, he was going to send her the fare to come to him. and they would live happily all their lives. He had written — every day for a month, then every other day, then twice a week, once a week, once a month; after a year his letters ceased. After two years he had stopped thinking of her. He had heard, not long afterward’, that she was married. “Framington! Change here for Des Moines!” shouted the conductor, and Bremerton started up hastily and seized his suit case. He had taken passage to Des Moines, although he had been indifferent where he went. Now that he reflected, he had selected that place, subconsciously, as it wqre, because the train passed through Framington. He had wanted to see the ♦old town again. Standing upon the platform he found the reporter at his elbow. He "had entirely forgotten him. “I’m afraid there’s a wait of two hours for the Des Moines train,” he said. “We just missed the connection. Now, Mr. Bremerton, won’t you please help me with that story? It will mean a great deal to me, sir.” Bremerton was a man of quick decisions. He pulled out his watch. “Three o’clock," he said, glancing at the dial. He turned to the other. “My son," he said, “I’m going to take an hour’s stroll through the old place. Perhaps it will get me into a sentimental mood, or a reminiscent one. If it does —well. I’ll be back at four and I’ll give you that story.” He strolled out of the station. Except that a few new buildings had sprung up it was astonishing how-lit-tle the town had changed during the fifteen years of his absence. Here was the old, irregular street, with its even remembered the names of them. There was Jim Hawley, the carpenter, still bending over his bench, industrious as ever; there the same old orchard in which he had gathered stolen Ripples when he was a boy. Then he was passing into the open country, and always his feet led Mm toward his father’s home. He had refused to rent the old place after the old people had died, from some sentimental motives which he was ashamed to confess to himself. How empty and forlorn it looked, with ft* boarded windows, and the garden.
once trim, but now overgrown with weeds. And at the end of the lane w£s the Grays' cottage. That was not forlorn, but stood, trim and immaculate as ever, in its neat little garden. A woman was walking up the lane. She had turned in from below, just where the Gray cottage abutted on ’ the pike. She would see him when she came out of the bend a few feet from the stile, Bremerton remem bered how his heart had hammered that morning he had first kissed her. It was here, and Lizzie had walked just as she walked now, unconscious that he waited there. He had wanted to run away, as he wanted to run now. And she had looked up sudden , ly and seen him, just as she looked up now. And both had trembled, just as both 1 were trembling now. And he had kissed her, just as he kissed her now. For the rush of the years was swept away, end they were boy and girl again beside the rustic stile. And it was only afterward, when they started guiltily away, that they remembered. Bremerton remembered that he was a mature man, verging upon middle life, who had lost all the happy aspirations and ideals of youth. And she. . . . She had hardly changed except that her figure had grown mature and her face more thoughtful, graver. “You are—not married then?” he stammered. She looked at him coldly, the flush of shame slowly facing out of her cheeks “How can you ask me that, John?” : she safd. ‘ j “But I heard —I heard —” “That’s why you ceased to write?’’ He had never been able to deceive | Lizzie. Now the old impulse toward confession buified in him. “No,” he answered, “I ceased to I write before 1 was told. But still, I I am sure that if I had not heard so I should some day , have come back.” “To redeem your pledge, John? Well, I release you from it. So let your conscience rest. My school occu-i pies all my life and is my whole interest. While you—you are, or were, a very busy man and a very famous one.” • “Then you have heard?” he asked;'l “O's course I’ve heard of you. John I Bremerton,”* she answered. “I —we . have all followed your career with the greatest interest,” she continued, col-i oring faintly. “You know we are alt , proud of you in Framington.” “Were proud,” he corrected, “Are proud. John,” she replied, looking steadily into his eyes. “Because you fell fighting like a man, and never did a single dishonorable thing. And when they got you down, it was they who were disgraced, not you. I am glad you came’ back for this little while, John, so that I could tell you this —that we all believe ip you.” “O, if only I had never gone!” he cried, “If I could have life over again I would stay here and live out my life! with you. I’ve been a fool, Lizzie.; and in searching for the pot of goldunder the rainbow I found the gold—buVl guess I missed the rainbow. But now the gold is gone and the rainbow is still shining. Lizzie, I’ve come back to stay—with you.” “With me?” she repeated. “With me, John?” “I want you," he cried. *1 have; never known what happiness meant; since I went away And even though I ceased to write and —well, forgoti you—l always had a vision of time when I should come back to you. But you see I thought I had lost the right to come. Lizzie, dear, I havq found you again. I want to keep you. Will you be my wife?" “You —you mean that. John?” she! stammered. “But —Oh, no, John, you are just chivalrous. I am not for you now; your place is in the city, where you will again make your njark —while I—” He drew ,her into his arms, and she lay there at last, happily. He bent his face to hers. “Tell me you love me.” he whis-> pered. “I have always loved you, John,” she answered back. “And somehow I always knew that you would come. Oh!” She disengaged herself hastily, looking up the lane in terror, and. following her glance, Bremerton perceived the reporter approaching toward them. He was walking blithely and whistling. He had evidently not seem them, but now, coming upon them suddenly, he stopped short and began apologizing nervously. “I was just taking a walk—” he began. “I thought I need not sit in that station till four. I didn’t know—” “That’s all right, son,” answered Bremerton. “Never mind that appointment. but sit down on that stile. I’m going to give you a real human story.” (Copyright. 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) Crab That Had Wandered Far. A crab about the size of an orange and almost of the same form has been brought into Lowestoft, Suffold, England, by the smack Giralda, which trawled it up near the Galloper lightship. The whole of its body and its thick, stunted legs were covered with brown hairs, w'hich were so close as to give it the appearance of being clad in velvet. Its large pincer claws had toothed points very similar to double teeth, but of a rich carmine color. A naturalist Identified it as Dromia vulgaris, a denizen of the Mediterranean, which has never previously been taken off the east coast, though specimens have appeared occasionally on the south coast. The re-i cent gales are supposed to have accounted for its presence in the North 1 sea. i Joke Cost Miner His Life.

AMERICAN SPHINX IS CHISELLED
7 ' ■" 'W AS America created a sphinx? A great concrete statue cemented into the solid rock on the banks of the Rock river near Oregon, 111., has been built by Lorado Taft, the sculptor, with every care that modern engineering can take to make it as permanent as the Pyramids and other famous landmarks of the ages. By his method of applying the concrete Mr. Taft bids fair to accomplish his purpose. The statue, erected to commemorate the American Indian, represents Black Hawk, chief of the Sacs and Foxes, standing with folded arms, looking down the picturesque valley of the Rock river. The figure is of noble proportions, being fifty feet in height, and crowns the top of a bluff 250 feet above the swirling waters of the river. Th6 claim of the statue to fame rests in three things: First, any one who runs—even those who run in automobiles —may read its message. As those who are rushing by in autos and steam cars and motor boats stop ! or turn to look it inevitably recalls ■ the former occupancy by the red men i of the places they are now in. Then the statue’s great size places , It on a scale with the Goddess of Liberty in New Pork harbor and the great statue of “The Pilgrim” on the I New England coast. Its thiyd and greatest claim to fame is that it is built to be permanent, and it is believed that it will outlast the sphinx, the Pyramids and the stones erected by the Druids. It is utilitarian concrete, which it is hoped will make the statue 6f Black Hawk overtake the Sphinx in I age by enduring after time has es- | faced that grim figure. The statue ,i was three years in process of making and represents a new era .in concrete i construction as applied to the art of sculpture. While fountains and pergolas and temporary figures for exhibitions have been made of concrete in the past, nothing approaching in magnitude or purpose the present piece of work has ever before been attempted with this material. It was a labor of love with the sculptor, who bore all the expense himself. Behind the building of the Black Hawk statue lies An interesting story. A few years ago Mr. Taft was watchzing some workmen build a concrete chimney at the Chicago Art Institute, and there came to him his great idea of the means for making ya. enduring statue. With the process in mind It was not long until ap, adequate subject presented Itself. For fifteen years Mr. Taft has had his summer home and studio at Eagle’s Nest Camp, near Oregon, the summer seat of the Chicago art colony. Standing for the hundredth time at the highest point of the cliff he never failed to remember that was from here that Black Hawk was finally driven out of Illinois. So he decided to bring back the famous Indian chief, and now in concrete Black Hawk again surveys his former domain, with an air of “immutable disdain,” as one artist has put it. Black Hawk and his tribes fought on the English side in the War of 1812. He saw sooner than other chiefs that the whites would take all the Indian’s hunting grounds from him. He tried everything from war to treaties to check the whites’ advance. As he grew old he became more attached to his home along the Rock river and fought against removal to the lowa reservation by the government. He even tried living in peace with the whites, but he had achieved such a reputation that any depredations that any Indians committed were laid at his tepee door. Finally he and his people were driven across the Mlsslsipp! by Uncle Sam’s soldiers. After that, as an old man, he petitioned the government that he might come back and view his old domains on the Rock river. Many members of the tribe were brought with him. and suddenly there was panic among the whites. Whether ft was intentional from the first on the part of the Indians or the result of suspicion, a war was precipitated. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis both fought with the whites and j Black Hawk was made a prisoner. I It Is characteristic of Mr. Taft that ! when he went about what he hopes j will be his most enduring work in a ■ material way he started with as little fuss as if it were a small matter. Silently and surely the work advanced ,as befits In character the approach of an Indian. Even the sculptor i smiles at his work as if it were a j conceit of<?the moment Instead of the ! project of a lifetime, and succeeds partly in hiding his pleasure in the work. Mr. Taft did not study any one type

Canine Code of Etiquette n ——
Certain Lines of Conduct Which It Is Asserted No Dog Dares Overstep. Every animal lover can tell numerous stories Illustrating the devotion of animals to their human- protectors. Anecdotes of one animal risking its life to save another are rare, but still sufficiently numerous and authentic to leave no doubt as to the occasional existence of a deep love between animals. But any close observer of nature will know that there exists throughout the brute creation a sort of rough moral system which, in the case of domestic < animals, translates. Itself into what really amounts to a code of etiquette. The old proverb, “The dog with a bone has mpny friends,” is nothing else than a recognition of canine etiquette. It does not matter how small is the dog with the bone. It may be a Pomeranian surrounded by mastiffs. The mastiffs will still remain friendly. They will hover round the Pomeranian, perhaps whining for a morsel (w’hich is never offered), and eagerly picking up any splinter that may be dropped, when nothing would be easier than to bowl the little dog over and seize the bone. You will notice, further, that the little dog becomes filled with a new courage, presumably in the moral consciousness of the justice of his claim, and will growl, and even snap at a dog he otherwise fears if the latter should come too close. But the moment a dog drops his bone a new rule of etiquette operates, for it becomes the property of the first dog who cares to pick it up. True, a dispute will sometimes arise as to whether the bone has actually been dropped “within the meaning of the act.” But once this is clear the law of the bone will be Observed by all save the exceptional “hooligan” dog.

of a succession of steps which have the appearance of being built artificially as they show on the river bluff. Many engineering difficulties had to be overcome, inasmuch as a great concrete statue had never before been made. The ttatue contains about two tons of twisted steel reinforcing and approximately 240 cubic yards of concrete, twenty tons of which consists of pink granite screenings, giving it the appearance of a granite statue. More than 65,000 gallons of water was pumped up from the rive^ - for maintaining two steam engines, and for mixing the concrete. Four hundred and twenty barrels of cement were- used ifi forming the mixture. The first model was of plaster and only eight'inches high, the nex-t was two feet high and the third six feet. This last served as the working model and was' enlarged by careful measurement to a frame of scantlings i around an elevator shaft. When the . whole figure had been framed in lumber wire netting was stretched over I the timbers, and this in turn wat : covered with burlap for a surface, i Later the burlap was painted with i plaster of paris to stiffen.it and then j subjected to a ■ coat of clay water to I insure its release from the mold lat- ; er on. Meanwhile the head was mod- ■ elled in clay and cast by the usual process, the piece mold being saved for use again in casting the concrete A three-inch mold was next made over the figure, about ten tons of i plaster being used ft>r this purpose, i i with many heavy timbers for support. I ; The scaffolding was then taken out ■ and a steel reinforcing tower eight feet in diameter was built in its j , place. This tower ran the entire ■ j length of the body, ending in a dome just below the neck, and was design- ! ed to support the head and shoulders | of solid concrete. * ! *The final work of casting was done I in the middle of winter, ten days be- | ing required, for this work, with two | crews of fourteen men each working iin day and night shifts. When the j mold was full heat was applied for I tw'o days, and then the , spirit of i Black Hawk was left to the elements, i With the removal of this mold" the ! following spring there emerged a per feet monolith concrete statue. This statue is, in more senses than one, the biggest thing that Mr. Taft has yet done. The statue is immensely simple, the heavy folds of the blanket surrounding the figure suggesting ; the man’s body Without following j closely its outlines. The dignity, the i stoicism and the bitterness of a vanquished leader are there. An interesting feature of the unveiling ceremonies was addresses by Dr. Charles Eastman and Miss Laura M.

Carlyle once wrote these words of his mother’s religious influence over him as a boy, and of the purity and nobility of her Christian character:, “My kind mother did me one altogether invaluable service. She taught me, less indeed by word than by act and daily reverent habitude, her own simple version of the Christian faith. My mother, with a true woman’s heart, and fine though uncultivated sense, was in the strictest acceptance, religious. The highest whom I knew on earth I saw bowed down with awe unspeakable, before a Higher One in heaven, especially in infancy, reach inward to the very core of ydur being; mysteriously does a Holy of Holies build itself into visibility in the mysterious depths, and reverence, the divinest in man, springs forth undying from its mean development of fear.” So Bruin Gets Honey. Bruin has a sweet tooth. If you go/ to the Jardin des Plantes you can see him of an afternoon drinking, hydro mel, hone'y and water, with the nearest approach he cap make to a seraphic smile. It is only lately that he has been given this luxury. How he came by it is interesting. It is now possible to sell to the public flowers grown in the gardens and the profits ’ on the sales are devoted to buying luxuries for the animals. Thus, like the bees, Bruin derives his honey from the flower, which seems in the fitness of things.—Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.

CHILD’S FACE ALL RED SPOTS 632 N. sth St., Terre Haute, Ind.— "My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first, then he would rub and scratch and water blisters would form, and wherever the water would run another would come until his face was covered wjth them. He would, cry and fret. His mother got some medicine, but it did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt. We hardly knew him, his Htle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me put some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong soap sude with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The little blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face washed, I put the Cuticura Ointment on and. In a short time his little face was all red and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment apd his face got as well and "it did not leave a scar.
