To r.illy Duster every moment lie spent in tlie theater was to his liking, but the best of all was w hen the baud tiled iu and the house lights went up. Then the music and the rush of arriv als made a delightful stir. These were busy moments for the ushers, because iu the ten minutes pre-r-eftiug the rise of the curtain half the house had to be seated, and it was hard for Billy to bear in mind the managerial caution that the right hand ai-le was not a cinder track laid for his amusement. As the great asbestus shield de scended one of the actors stepped be fore the curtain line and made an announcement that an accident had occurred. "There is positively no danger," he assured, "but merely as a precaution you are asked to leave the house as quickly as possible."

Every body cleaned liou: e in the morning, with just lime fcr :i hurried lunch be fore squeezing into the uniforms for the matinee, and as soon as tha rush was over all but two of the boys were taken i;ff to perform other duties. Those who remained were water toys, parading the aisles with trays of glasses, which they offered to the patrons. Now and then a penny or even a nickel or a dime fell to th wa ter carrier, but r.illy was content if the ladies smiled their thar.ks. All this was before "E 112" came. After that there was but one woman In the world for William, just as there Is but one woman for each of us at some stage cf boyhood. "E 112" was worthy of bis worship Even the box office boy had confided to Calkins, the manager, that it was "a dead swell dame w ho took up the seat for Tuesday mats," and the man ager had condescended to approve the statement, though Calkins' own pref erence was for blends. "E 112" had dark hair cf the soft, wavy kind that makes a fellow long to stroke softly, admiringly. But Billy remembered nothing but her eyes after he had received one di rect glance. lie could look into those liquid depths clear down into the un troubled soul beyond. Every Tuesday afternoon the girl occupied the same seat. The Century reserved seats for its regular patrons by the season, and once when the head usher sought to shift Billy to the bal cony, where there was a better chance of making tips. Billy promptly forgot the fact that it was supposed to be a favor and pummled his benefactor until the latter promised to put him back on his old aisle. To such an extent had Tilly become enslaved that he even r:ioi cd in the water job. He would work the front rows very slowly," waiting with pri tience for each patron to finish with a glass, and when "E 112" asked for a drink he would stand in rapt admira tion, Ignoring the request ;f ethrrs for glasses from the tray until she had returned hers and there was no longer any excuse for standing at her side. from which the scenery was hung ii:!vT IU Lilt? ElUt: VUC? 111.111 sprang to his feet. He was sitting in the fourth row, and in a flash Billy realized that should this man break the order of departure there would be a crush In which many would be hurt. Billy still carried his now useless tray, and quick as a flash he pretend ed to stumble and fall against the panic stricken man. In falling he thrust the fellow back into his seat, and the ice cold water drenched the man's face and neck and trickled down inside of his clothing. Those near by laughed, and the crowd, which had been upon the verge cf a panic, cooled down. The panic was averted. But Billy had slipped on one of the thick tumblers rolling under his feet. In an instant ho was on the floor of the aisle on top of the clutter of broken glass, and his face and arms were badly cut before the girl in "E 112" could spring to his relief. Strong arms bore the boy to the head of the aisle, where already the doorkeepers were turning back the crowd with the .assurance that the fire was all over. And almost before he realized it Billy was lying on the sofa In the retiring room, and "E 112" was bathing the cut hands and face with Eoft cloths, while Calkins stood help lessly by. Gee," said Billy ruefully, "I bet I have to pay for a new uniform. This looks like I been working in a butcher shop." ' Nonsense," broke in Calkins, who ccukl be human at times, though it was seldom that he exhibited this trait. "You saved the day, Billy, and you can have a new uniform every week if you want-one. This lady tells me that in drenching that fool you stopped a panic." "Well, he had It coming to him," said Billy. "He was a husky guy in D 112, and he had the willies, he was so scared. I says to myself that if he got 'em runuln' 'E 112' wculd have the chance of a snowball in well, yon know where. So I plugged him wit' the glasses, and then he was good for awhile. I wouldn't let them walk all over you." he added to the girl. The glorious eyes grew more tender as she realized what the boy was say ing. Men had sought to do great things to show their love for their ladyloves, but this boy of twelve was as brave and as fearless as any knight who ever wore his lady's favor in his hel met. His thought had been sclely for her, yet he had probably saved scores from death or injury, and it was she who was responsible for the deed. Slowly she bent her beautiful head and press ed her lips against his own. "It was very brave of you,' dear," she. said in a whisper. "I am very proud to think that it was for me you did so fine a deed." Billy blushed; then he looked with adoring eyes into the brown ones that were searching his face. "I'd burn down the theater every Tuesday when you come for that," he declared as he lapsed into uncon sciousness, and it was Miss Golden's turn to blush. Could he but know it Billy had for the moment become more than a boy. He was a man and the knight of "E 112." Law and Crime, Washington Post. Public opinion is to blame pri marily. It does exact of judges and juries performance of duty. Moral and physical -poltroonery accounts for many a miscarriage of justice; witnesses and intimi dated or corrupted are jurors fear the evil consequences of faithlessness to their oaths.Legal techicality employed by skillful and unscrupulous counsel oft makes a farce of a criminal trial. But the big mesh through which murderers escape is the suborn ed witness. Wheu an influential citizen turns murderer the newspapers print full acounts of the crime and go into the minutest details of the tragedy. Of course, when an honest-talesman is asked by wunsei, wnen me worn oi lm paneling the jury is in progress, if lie has formed or expressed an upiiiion as to i.ue guiro or inno cence of the accused be answers '"Yes," if he has intelligence enough to read the papers; where as your rascally talesman who has been "fixed" brazenly an swers "No," and thus qualifies himself under the technique of the law to be a pillar of state in the admistration of justice. That is why we have scores of murderers where England has one, and that is why Judge Lynch is so active on the bench, and, it may be, why he is abso lutely indispensable in the ad justment of numerous affairs.

The Crowing of the Cock. Will some one wiser than we are tell us why chickens always crow just about midnight they do, but why? Lenoir News. And we on our part, would like to know why they crow at three o'clock and also again at the middle of the darkest hour just before daybreak? j They crow at three different times during the night and with such accuracy that a clock may be set by them and not be ten minutes from true sun time. Then there is another unfail ing sign. If a cock goes to bed crowing that is, crows during the early hours of night with out being disturbed or excited he will wake up with a wet head it Will rain oerore morning. Statesville Landmark. Why Working Women Do Not Marry. In.an article entitled "A Sub stitute for Matrimony" in the February Woman's Home Com panion, Anna Steece Richardson proves conclusively that the ma jority of business girls of to-day do not marry because the men they might marry do not earn as much money as they do. Mrs. Richardson speaks with authori ty she has a greater experience than perhaps any other woman in America. She concludes her article thus: "The business woman of to day is achieving financial suc cess at the sacrifice of domestic content and maternal instinct. Is it wortq while?" When a Man Calls. When a man leaves, a girl says good-by to him in the par lor. She does not go into the hall to get his hat and coat, and does not open the door for him. These are things a man should do for himself when there is not a maid to do it. It is graceless and awkward for a girl to be stiff and formal about this. It is quite correct for her to saunter to the parlor door and talk while he is getting ready to go out; but there is a rule, as old as social convention, that a hostess does not go to the door with her guest, when that guest is a man. It isn't well for her to seem anx ious to catch the last glimpse of him. Most conventions between men and women are founded on this theory. The February Designer. Notice.

A day or two later the farmer strolled around lo see how the new man was progress ing. To his surprise, at one end of the field he found a large heap of stones. "Here, wot's this mean?" he de manded. "Well, sir," responded the man in charge of the operation, "we thought we'd save ye a bit of trouble next seedtime, so whenever we finds a stone in the taties we just dumps it down there." "Ah," remarked the farmer sadly, "I shall never find another man like Sam, the old one."
