ruefully, "and that is why our wills so

"1 will do the best I can for .you,
James," agreed Agatha as they parted
on hour later.
So Agatha sat down and telephoned
to Dorothy and Invited her to come
down and spend n week nt Gleuwood.
Dorothy arrived in the morning and,
beyond a sweet seriousness tbnt only
added to her charm in the eyes of her
relative, she appeared to be Just the
same lovable girl as ever.
While Miss Ilemlnway and Dorothy
were having their tea In the side porch
that May evening Aunt Agatha was
trying to win Dorothy's confidence by
skillful questioning. At last the whole
story of Dorothy's love affairs was out.
and somehow, watching the love light
in \tbe girl's soft eyes and perhaps re
membering an unfinished love affair of
her own far away youth, Aunt Agatha
had not the heart to admonish the girl
While they sat there, there came a
sound through the quiet village street.
It wus the sound of an approaching
motorcar driven at high speed.
Miss Agatha stood up and looked
anxiously across the old fashioned gar
den surrounded by Its moss grown and
picturesque old picket fence
She rushed to the steps Just as a
small gray motorcar whizzed around
) ttye dreaded corner of the rood beyond
Aher garden and crashed through the
onclent picket fence ond caine to o
standstill in the middle of her bed of
sweet lavender.
"Oh-b-h!" shrieked Miss Agatha as
she waddled down the garden path.
"Is be hurt? is he killed?" ponted
Dorothy as she flew post her auut
"Don't you see, Aunt Agatha, there's
n man In the machine?"
"He's out of It by this time—and
spoiling my lavender bed." shrilled
Agatha as she came upon the scene.
"He Is quite unconscious, Aunt Aga.
tha," said Dorothy, with tears stream
ing down her cheeks. She wns kneel
ing beside a lean, brown young man
who wns lying with bis face In the
young lavender plants. "I nm afraid
he Is dead."
"Nonsense," quaked Aunt Agatha.
"I'm surprised at you, Dorothy, grow
ing hysterical over such a matter!
Calm yourself at once. Go Into the
bouse and send Sarah out here. Ah,
here come some of the neighbors! Go
at once and telephone for Dr. Gray,"
In half an bour the crowd had dis
persed and the Injured motorist waa
reclining between the lavender scented
sheets of the bed In Miss Agatba't best
room.
Dr. Gray bad reported tbat tbe young
man was Buffering from abode and
numerous bruises and would l>e a* well
aa ever In a day or ao.
It waa tbe evening of tbe secODd day
after tbe accident
Mlsa Agatba and Dorothy were hav
ing tea In tbe aide porcb. T lie re were
frosted cake and damaon Jam, cottage
cbeeae and a delicious salad. Upstairs
in tbe apare bedroom Mr. Kirk was
sitting op In bed enjoying tbe same
dellcaciea from a tray brought by tbe
interested Barab.
Mlsa Hemlnway was talking sbout
tbelr unexpected guest
"I like Mr. Kirk so much, Dorothy,
dear," said Agatha as she helped ber
'self to some Jam; "be la Sbeh a clean
cut manly chap, and there's a sort of
set look about bis mouth that betrays
strong determination—lf be set bis
heart on anything be would surely gain
It"
"You think ao. Auntie?" asked
Dorothy demoreiy.
"Yea, my dear! Do yoa know be

were going to break the new* to her

"I Hill BO glad, dear." sympathized
Aunt Agatha, and then HIIC added wist
fully: "I don't suppose yon could man

"Aunt Agnthn, what would you say

"Dorothy! So-soon after"— gasped
Miss Agatha.
"Oh, I've loved him for a long, long
time, auntie dear. Can't you guess
that your Mr. Kirk Is my Paul Kirk
Woodruff—my chauffeur, as you coll

well. But I love blm In spite of that.
So there! lie was coming down here

he ran plump into your garden."
It was a half hour before Aunt Aga
tha could calm herself sufficiently to
digest the details of this romantic af
fair. When she finally understood that
Dorothy's chauffeur was the son of a
railroad president and was none other
than her fascinating guest who bad
broken down her cherished picket

SPRING THE TIME
FOR ROAD. WORK
So Says Department of Agri
culture.
GOOD WHEN SOIL IS DAMP.
>
If Attention to Roads Is Put Off Until
ths Lattsr Part of Summer tha Sur
face Bsoomos Dry and ths Toil Ex
psndsd la Unsatisfaotery.
It la n great mistake to put off work
ing roads uutll August or (September,
according to road experta of the Unit
ed Htatea department of agriculture.
The roads should he worked when the
soil Is damp ao us to make the soli
bake when It dries out. If the roads
are worked when they are dry it takes
juorc power to draw the machine, and
j besides, d>y earth and dust retail
I moisture and quickly rut after rtilns.
The use of clods, sods, weerls or vege
table matter In building earth road*
should lie avoided liecaose they also
retain moisture.
Ily using the road machine In the
spring while the soli is soft and damp
tho surface Is more easily shaped and
soon packs don'n Into n dry, hard crust,
which Is less liable to becomo dusty In
summer and muddy in winter.
Itepulrs to roads slibold lie made
when needed mill not once n year aft
er crops are laid by. Because of Ita
simplicity, efficiency mid cheaiwess,
the split log drag or somo slmllnr do
vlco Is destined to come Into more and
more gene rm use. With tli9 drag prop
erly built and Its use well understood,
the maintenance of earth and gravel
roads becomes a simple audinexpensive
matter, fare should be taken to make
the log so light that one man can lift
It with erise, lis a light drag can be
drawn by two medium il/.ed horses and
responds more readily to various meth
ods "of hitching and the shifting posl
tlon of the operator than a heavier
one. The befit material for the drag Is

• dry cedar log, though elm, walnut,
box elder or soft maple are excellent.
Oak, hickory or aab is too heavy.
The log should lie from seven to ten
feet long and from eight to ten Inches
In diameter. It should be split care
folly aa near tbe center as poaelhle and
tbe heaviest and best slsii chosen for
the front. When the soil Is moist, but
wit sticky, tbe drsg does tbe beat
work. As lite soli In the field will
bake If plowad wet, so the road will
bake If the dralf Is naed on It wbeti It
la wet. If tbe roadway Is full of bole*
or badly rotted the drsg should- b*
osed once when the road la soft and
'sloahy.
Tbe earth road can best lie crowned i
andjVubed with a roed machine and
not with picks and shovels, scoops and ,
plow*. One road machine with a salt- I
stile power end operator will do the
work of many men with picks and
a hovels and. In addition, will do it bet
tar. If tbe read la composed of floe
clay or soil It will sometime* pay to
resurface' it with top soil from an ad
jacent BeM which bar sand or gravel
mixed wjfh It
Htorm water should be disposed of
quickly before It baa had time to pene
trate deeply Into tbe earface of the
road. This can be done by giving tbe
road a crown or slope from the c»njcr j
to tne SIOPS. i iii' nil enrrn rontt which
in twenty four feet wide the center
should lie not less than si* Inches nor
more than twelve Inches higher than
the outer edges of the shoulder. The
narrow road which Is high 111 the mid
dle will-become rutted alnioHt as quick
ly as one which I* flat, for the reason
that on a mlrrow road all the traffic is
forced to |tse only a narrow strip.
The width of the earth road will de
pend on the traffic. As a rule, twenty
five or thirty feet from ditch to ditch
Is sufficient If the road is properly
rrowneif. Ordinarily the only ditches
•needed nre those made with the road
machine, which me wide and
Deep narrow ditches wash rapidly, es
pecially on steep slopes. Tile earth
road should not be loosened, dug up or
plowed up any more than Is necessary.
It should be gradually raised, not loir
pred; hardened, not softened.
CLOTHESPIN MACHINES. '
What Happsns"~tyhsn a Log of Wood
Starts Through Thom.
Making clothespins is an Industry
that bets handsome returns to many
American factories. At Martinsville,
lud., there Is a factory which has a
capacity of more than 300,000 clothes
pins a day.
A rough log started through the mill
comes out as hundreds of tile shapely
little wooilen pins familiar to the back
yard. The logs arc cut Into blocks
about sixteen inches long, which a
headlong saw cuts into boards about
flve-elgbtlis of an inch thick. A gang
of saws cuts these boards Into strips
live-eighths of an Inch square and each
long enough to make four pins. These
strips are placed on an automatic
trimmer and cut to the required length.
Tboy are then conveyed to tbe auto
matic lathes, seven in number, each
with a capacity of four dozen a min
ute. From the lathes the pins drop
to the slotting machines and from
these to the dryroom, where all tools
tura Is removed. Next they go to the
polishing cylinders, which sre flUed
about half full of plus, chips and slnv
dust. The cylinders revolve slowly for
four hours, after which the pins drop

ANIMAL SPIRITS.
Oiir Vital Functions as Thsy Woro
Known In Oalon'a Tims.
"Few persons even stop lo consider
when they speak of 'u man of spirit'
that they are unwittingly employing
tha language of the daya of Oalen,"
says the Journal of tbe American Med
ical Association. "Yet this Is evident
ly tbe survival of the old doctrine of
spirits. We may believe that Oaten
bad a conception of the nerve trunka
aa conductors of something--be called
it aplrita— to and from tbe brain and
spinal cord.
"Tbe natural spirits were that unde
fined property which gave to blood tlie
capacity of nourishing the tissues of
the liody. The vital spirits were ae
qulred.ln the henrt. and when at last
tbe blood with its vital spirits went to
tbe brain and experienced a sort of re
flnernent for the Isat time the animal
apirtla were se|«ruted from It arid car
ried to tbe Isidy by the nerve trunks."
Such was the idea of the vital func
tion* in the second century. Today,
after l.*> years, we know that there
are no "spirits" In our blood or nerves,
but we still speak of being In "high
spirits" or "low aplrlt*," of being full
of "animal spirits," of a "spirited an
swer" or a "spirited borse."
