Perhaps It was because pretty Betty Simpson lived In tlje cyclone belt that she was of such a tempestuous temperament; perhaps It was simply because she was born that way. At any rate she was mightily tempestuous r hen any of her deeper emotions were Involved. And when her father, stern, morose Henry Simpson, accused 'her sweetheart of being responsible for the loss of the Simpsons slowly accumulated Liberty bonds she flared up at once. "Of course Jim Brown didnt take You ought to them," she stormed. know him better than that, father! Jim knew I kept them in my desk and that the desk was unlocked, said her father stolidly. And wbat does he do when I say something to him about them being gone he disappears That proves he took them!" Betty wrung her bands disconsolately. He didn't take them!" she cried. I just know he didnt! ( She looked around the modestly furnished little living room desperately. If only she had some one to help her! If only 'her mother hadnt died she would have understood ! Betty looked at the foolish grin on the face of her senile old grandfather and then at the happy smile on the face of her baby sister. And she Life was going bard sighed deeply. with her. If only she could make hei 1 father desist from his expressed pur- pose. Please dont file an affidavit against him ! Please dont father ! she cried. I just know Jim didn't take them. I just know everything will come out all right. i Ive already filed the affidavit ! answered her father shortly. I cant afford to lose all that money. I cant help It if Jim has been your beau. turned away heavily. Tears k jJe started To Bettys eyes as she looked after him. Her father was stern and hard. Much sorrow and a bitter life had made Iiim cruel. There was no moving him when he had set his mind oi) anything. What could she do? f That night Betty wrote an Impassioned fetter to Jim to an address he had given her before leaving urging him to come back and prove his Innocence. And in this letter, too, she urged him to tell her why he had left, for quite suddenly after her father had partially accused Jimof the. theftv he had left the' countryside without letting any one, save Betty, know where he was going. And he had not even told Betty why he was going. It was about a week later that the cyclone visited the spot where Betty . lived. "Cyclone weather" had been worrying the country folk for some hours before the unmistakable signs of approaching trouble sent the Simpson family scurrying into the cyclone cellar near the home. Even as Betty helped her grandfather down the stairs Into the cellar, which had been prepared years before at some little distance from the house, the( menacing spiral of the cyclone was visible down the valley. Bettys father ad entered the cellar first, and as Betty pulled the storm door flat and locked It she saw that her father had lighted a lantern and was looking quickly and somewhat fearfully around the cellar. What was wrong? Betty leaped down the remaining steps of the ladder Into the cellar. Whats the matter? she crlea to her father, who was holding the lantern high above his head. Once more stern Henry Simpson Joked around the small room before replying. Then he gazed fearfully Into Bettys eyes. Wheres the baby? - cried Henry Simpson. Panic clutched at Bettys heart at this question. She gazed around the room with wild eyes. The baby was nowhere In sight I put the baby down here a half hour ago. She must have climbed out ! Frantically Betty rushed to the side of the room and leaned upon a box which brought her eyes in line with a little porthole, partially raised above the level of the earth, in which heavy glass formed a lookout. She looked out fearfully. There, half way between the cellar and the house was the baby, dancing up and down in the gusts of wind which heralded the near approach of the twister. A pair of the grandfathers old overalls, which had been blown from the house, were partjally twined about the baby. And only an appallingly short distance away compared with, the speed at which it was coming was the cyclone. Betty Jumped from the box and ran toward the ladder, crying swiftly to her father as she ran : The babys out there! PI! go get her!" Just as Betty reached the foot of the ladder a surprising thing happened. iThe solid earthen wall behind the lad- hastily. As he unlocked the stona door and pushed It open a fierce guft of wind swooped and howled Its way into the room. Then Jim leaped but; dropping the door into plape again. Betty rushed to the lookout. She saw Jim run, stooping to the baby. She saw him grab up the baby, overalls and all, and rush back toward the cellar. And she saw trqps falling In the path of the advancing cyclone. Would Jim be able to make it? ' Betty left the lookout and rushed back to the ladder. Her father was there before her; The door opened. Jim thrust the baby down, Betty caught her little sister with a thankful heart. And then, to her vast astonishment, she heard her father speak. Dont come down here, you thief!" You cried stern old Henry Simpson. elnt fit to associate with decent folks Betty saw her father trying to push Jim away from the storm door and to close it. And in that moment all of Bettys tempestuous nature burst inu storm. She put the baby on the floor and hurled herself at her father. Oh. you she gasped, you almost inarticulately, as she beat liira away with her fists. Hes saved the baby and now She turned from her father and fairly jerked Jim through the door. As she locked the door and breathed a sigh of thankfulness the air was filled with a vast disturbance. The cyclone was roaring above them. When the wind had quieted somewhat so that Jim could make himself heard he drew Betty and her father close together. I thought your nephew, John Simpson, had taken the bonds. said Jim. I trailed him to Chicago. But lie hasnt got them. I dont know whos got them. And when I got back here I ..card of that affidavit for my arrest so I hid in here. Jim didnt take them ! cried Betty shortly. Father, youve just got to say youre sorry for what and after Jim saving the baby Henry Simpson looked first at Jim, then at the baby held tightly now in fsefly arms. As he looked at the baby his sjern face ggtened. I mustve be?n out of Ey head," So much trouble and he mumbled. then this storm. I I dont believe 1 1 you took em, Jim!" He hejd out hjs band to Jim. , Jim - . clashed it tightly. It was about an hour later when the damage caused by the storm had been inventoried that Betty chanced to look at the old overalls which were still partly draped about the baby. And as she looked she gasped. In the right hip pocket wer the missing bonds! . Old Grandfather Simpson grinned at her foolishly as she looked at them in amazement. . Thought I better put em In a safe I swan place. said her grandfather. I clean forgot all about em ! cried Betty Oh, you old dear suddenly and tempestuously, as she flung herself at her grandfather and 1! 1 kissed him. And who, under the circumstances, could blame her for doing so? CLOSE TO HORRIBLE DEATH Will Long Remember How Near He Was te Being Trampled Under Hoofs of Cattle. ?! INCREASED AVERAGE TURKEYS SPREAD OF PUREBRED SIRES Youth yarn which may be branded as pretty fair comes out of the" West, remarks the Philadelphia Ledger. A young man named Barker had taken his bicycle to make a journey of several hundred miles to inspect some land. In the course of his trip he crossed a large prairie field, broken near the middle by a high transverse ridge. When he had climbed the rlde anl mounter his wheel to proceed he noticed what the rise of ground had obscured that the field was filled with Texas cattle grazing In little bunches of ten to fifty. Just as he started one of the long horns caught sight of him and the bunch followed Us leader to Investigate. The young man naturally quickened his pace and the cattle took after' him. The trail was straight and level, lending to a big gate. The boj bent over his wheel and pedaled for his life. lie could hear the bellowing of the cattle and the pounding of their hoofs behind him, but he looked neither to right nor left. What should he do when he reached the gate? No matter. All his mind was fixed upon the necessity of keepipg ahead. He neared the gate and It was open. He dashed through like a flash of lightning, lost his pedals, struck a rock and was pitched off and lay senseless on the ground. It had happened that the man who owned the range was visiting H at that moment. He had seen the boy race for life and had ppened .the gate to let him pass through. Then, with two or three attendants, he rode In and headed off the herd. iRAPEMMPEST Progress in Better Sires ter Stock Campaign.

Schwab was talkfrig In Loretta about the remarkable popularm-j ity of a new steel. . Let tne tell jtab, he went on, a story about a shovel. Just a hundred years ago a number of men were digging a Tine of railway Vetween Birmingham and Manchester. The shovels d they were using had blades about fifteen inches long. The digging was hard and slow, and one of the workmen suggested to the boss that If he would grind off the comers of the shovils they would cut Into the earth more easily and the ; days output would be bigger. . TJi4 boss ridiculed the Idea, but Hiy I fkmun later on persuaded jja Ironmonger in Sheffield to make him d a couple of dozen shovels as an experiment. These shovels wer submitted to the scoffing boss for trial. The boss reported at the end of e week that his diggers were all turning up 10 or 15 minutes ahead of time in the morning so as to get hold of one of the new round square-cornere- rqund-cornere- Demonstrated by Experiments Carried on at Washington and on Nearby Farms. NAMED FOR INVENTOR Hand-to-Han- d bat Was That Designed by James tswie. ComCol. The bowle knife took its name from of its inventor, Col. James Bowie, an American soldier, born in Burke county, Georgia, about 1790, who was killed at Alamo, Tex., March 6, 1836. He became notorious In 1827 from a duel fought near Natchez, Miss,, which resulted in a general melee, In the course of which six men were kiHed and fifteen wounded. During the fight Bowie killed MaJ. Norris Wright with a weapon which had been made from d large blacksmiths file or rasp. This weapon he afterward had fashioned by a cutler in Philadelphia into the knife which has since borne his name. The blade of the bowie knife is from nine to ten Inches long, and has only one edge; the back is straight for of Its length, and then curves toward the edge in a slightly concave sweep, while the edge finishes toward the point in a convex curve. The guard is very small, and the tongue is of the full breadth of its grip or barrel, which is formed of two rounded pieces of wood or bone. The best knives of this type were made by frontier blacksmiths of old horse rasps and the like, and naturally differed much in size and pattern. that NOT OLD CHICKENS INFECTED Looses Can Be Greatly Reduced by Keeping Young Chickene on Ground That Has Not Been Exposed three-quarte- Afghan The women in more rigid ele'-eleiled other Moslem Women Secluded. of Afghanistan are kept seclusion and are more than the women of any land. The Afghan is notoriously Jealous of his harem, and few indeed are the men of the outside world who have ever looked on the face of an Afghan woman of the towns.

Like the Arab, the Afghan considers it unnecessary and even unwise that women should learn to read or write. No girls are admitted to the bazaar schools and no mullahs are employed to teach them, and Afghanistan knows nothing of women teachers. the development In the first four years of child life.

In of turkeys from a farm, gapeworm affliction among chickens will regularly .disappear has not been definitely established, but it seems probable that It may often do so. Gapeworms among chickens appear to be more prevalent on farms where turkeys frequent the chicken runs than on farms where there are no turkeys. Available evidence Indicates that gapes has a tendency to disappear on farms followlhg the removal of turkeys. From experiments recorded In the bulletin, it has been found that chickens, unlike turkeys, are readily susceptible to infection with gapeworms only while they are young. They become less susceptible as they grow older. Adult chickens are seldom likely to spread Infection, for in those instances in which gapeworms develop In adult chickens the parasites are likely to live only a short time. Methods of Avoiding Loss. Losses from gapeworms can be greatly reduced if not altogether avoided, accordng to the bulletin, by keeping young chickens on ground that has not been exposed to contamination within at least a year by chickens with gapes or by turkeys, and by excluding turkeys from it durAs ing Its occupancy by chickens. gapeworms appear rarely to occur In adult chickens, brood hens may be associated with young chickens with little risk of Infection. The simplest means of preventing or reducing losses from gapes appears to be the exclusion of turkeys from farms where chick, ens are raised. the absence BIG SAVING OF FARM LABOR Hitching Third Horse to Plow Enables Man to Walking 4 Plow Much More Land.
