Dorothy was a sportswoman from I he Up cf her dainty pumps to the top -f her aristocratic bead. Never had Ovren Ccmptori'met a jjrl in whom so many delightful qualities were blend ed. That dashing creature known as "the athletic girl" he cordially disliked, holding that you fig women were io tended primarily for cozy corners. So, when introduced to Dorothy, he felt sure he would not like her a bit. Handsome she undoubtedly was, and queenly, too, but with her queenliness Dorothy was vivaeiousness itself. She could ride with the skill of a cowboy the wildest pony thar ever leaped a fence. She could shoot like an ex pert and row like a university oars man. And after galloping gayly over the fields on one of her papa's most dan gerous young horses she would come into the drawing room and, with sym pathetic touch, play a score of old time melodies surcharged with senti ment. Before many moons Owen discover ed that with all her athletic propensi ties Dorothy was as tender natured and as warm hearted as any girl who breathed the ozone. The result was inevitable. Therefore when Dorothy looked up from the piano, a coquettish light in her dark eyes, and asked, "Owen, when are you coming out to shoot partridges with me?" Owen replied that next morning would find him ready with cartridges and gun. He appeared by sunup, and Dorothy was awaiting him with her own favor ite setter and her own brightly pol ished little shotgun. In hunting boots, short skirt and a brown jacket, whose large collar fell back over her shoul ders, disclosing her round, white throat, she was a verita'ble vision of the forest. "As I live, but you do look stun ning!" was Owen's comment as he jrave her a rapid survey. "Another Diana ready for the hunt, but whether It be birds or hearts it's hard to say!" She laughed merrily. "The former, of course, sir!" she de clared. "At evening with moonlight setting, you know, is the proper time for- wounding hearts. This morning irr,iTie bright sunshine partridges are to be our only consideration. Please remember this!" "Agreed," he said, his eye flashing back the challenge. "Let's strike out. Liook, your dog-, is just crazy to be off!" Then down the long slope they went and out into the fields. The autumn sun was a dull, golden disk that seemed to cast its color over the leaves and the ruddy fruit. As they made their way through an orchard Owen stopped and, throwing a stick up Into the boughs, brought down several fine apples. With evident relish Dorothy set her sharp teeth into one of the largest of these. The appeal of the picture was too much for Owen, and he began to quote something about the drowsy winds that fanned "a heart ripe as the apples grown in orchard lands of long ago." She stopped him with a disapprov ing glance. "Do you remember what we started out to do?" she asked. "Yes, to shoot birds, not to talk sen timent." She nodded, and they pushed out into the open fields again. The setter, a hundred yards ahead, was already standing a covey of partridges. They j hurried up close. . - ; ? .vv : r "Ready''" he sked, raising his gun:: "Ready," she answered. "You take, those on the left; I'll look after those that fly up oh the right."- Burr-burr-burr, 'and a dozen par tridges rose obliquely and sailed over the fields. Bang, bang, spoke Dorothy's gun. Bang, bang, echoed his. Two birds dropped, one In line oi Owen's fire,, the other over to the right : :":;V "Honors " are even!" 'cried Dorothy. "It's a hit and a miss l f or each of usr He sprang forward, and as the dog brought up the dead birds he dropped them Into the sack he carried. Sudden ly a hundred feet in front of him a partridge that had become separated from the others ran out of the grass and fluttered off toward a clump of bushes on the hillside. ;? He lifted his gun to bis shoulder and nwi Wh triireers. but the bird. con- UU"Ul w" ' . . , -. . . I tinued in its flight. Then behind himl flashed Dorothy's gun, ana ioe v" trldge dropped like a spent rocket. At the same moment a sharp, sting ing pain ran through Owen's left hand. Instinctively he jerked it up. It was covered with blood. His face grew pale, for he thought that a good part of the leaden load had struck him. He raised his arm, and the blood ran 4owin a tiny rivulet over his - wrist. Wlth his right fcand he reached .for his hankerchief to stop the crimson, flowe was to liin. "Goo;! heavens!" she gasped, her face white as chalk as she saw the blood. "I've shot. you. Oivcu:" "I'm afrak! you -have,'" he said, "but not seriously I guess " In a second her hand had hold of the bandkerr h'-ef. and she was wiping a way the biood. "Oh, it'H not very serious!" she breathed K Cully. "Look, it's only n deep, red scar now. A stray shot hai grazed the baok of your hand that is all, thank goodness!" He looked closer and saw that what Bhe saM was true. "But it must be bandaged at once," ishe affirmed in deeply sympathetic tones. "We must get to some water. Come, there's a little spring just over the hill." Hurriedly she tied a knot in the handkerchief, and they went over the ridge in the direction indicated. Once at the spring she became alert. Re moving the handkerchief from Owen's hand, she soaked it in thr water and then bathed the wound thoroughly. The blood had ceased to flow, and there was little pain. In fact, the cool water and the pressure of her hands were decidedly pleasant. Then she wrung the water out of the handkerchief and tied it neatly around his fingers. . "Now, when we get to the house a little listerine and a new bandage will complete the opera tion." she said. The strain over, she sank down weakly on one of the large stones near the stream. In a second he was all apprehension. "Why, what's the matter, Dorothy?" he asked. "Positively you look ill!" "Oh, it's nothing," she replied bro kenly. "Only I'm so very, very glad you were not badly hurt. The reac tion has made me a little weak, that's all." And she smiled again bravely. "My dear Dorothy," he said, taking both her hands in his uninjured one, "maybe it is more serious than you think." "Oh, no, it can't be dangerous!" she exclaimed in sudden alarm. "The bleeding has stopped, hasn't it?" "Oh, my hand's all right," he replied, "but I fear that's not the only wound you've inflicted." Sudden terror shone in her eyes. "Oh, Owen,dear, surely no other shot struck .you? Tell me tell me they didn't!" V V She was quivering with apprehen sion. "Well, I don't know whether it was a bullet or rot," he answered, "but I feel that I h-.ve been struck, and fatal lyriprht her 4!" And he put. his unin jured hard over his life side and smiled at 1'crclhy significantly. She caught his meaning on the in stant. "Are you sure, Owen, that the shot struck home?" she queried encourag ingly. "Dead sure of it, my dear girl," he answered. "And what are you going to do about itr "There's only one thing I can do," he said "ask you to try to heal the heart wound as you did the other. Will you, dear?" But there was no verbal reply none was needed. "So it was hearts, after all, that my modern Diana went hunting for?" he asked on his way home. "It looks that way," she said, laugh ing up at him. That Settled It. For years Mr. Clerklle had eaten his frugal but nourishing luncheon in a little restaurant half a block north from his office. He was an easily sat isfied person, and what he ordered seemed always to suit him to perfec tion. The waitresses never, knew him to complain. But one day things went wrong. The butter was rancid and the bread so moist that Mr. Clerklie, who had de cided ideas about hygiene, would not eat it. He did his best and left the table early. , The next day the same thing occur red, and the day after there was no improvement. He called the waitress to him. "May I see the proprietor, please?" he inquired. The girl disappeared for a minute and returned with the news that the proprietor was out. The following day as well as the one after there was no improvement in the food and no sign of: the propri etor: Mr. Clerklie nearly made up his mind to seek another restaurant I He decided, however, to give them a chance and on Saturday at luncheon again asked for the owner of the place. y "He's gone out," was the reply, Mr. Clerklie became bold. "This is ridiculous!" he exclaimed. "I come here at noontime every day, and every day he is out Where is he anyway?" "We expect him back any minute," said the girl. "He has just stepped put to get hN lunch." DeWitt's Little EarfY Risers, the safe, sure, easy, gentle Uttle liver piils. The original Carbolized Witce Hazel Salve is De Witt's.

Please Send in Your News Items and Correspondence, We had hoped to give our patrons the usual Ledger with plenty of local news this week, but we got into trouble again. The vibration of our machinery or something has thrown everything out of gear, and the boys are now hnnting fqr the trouble. The slugs for the new linotype did not cast right, and the stuff that wasset up would not fit in the forms and cannot be used. We have a lot of local matter set up and it iS a pity that it could not be used at the last minute. When it was found that such vas the case, a little matter was put up by hand. We were asked to publish many things, and after having had these items set up, the stuff will have to be thrown away, and the matter set up again for next week's issue. The roof of the building will be completed this week and perhaps some of the flooring laid. If these things are done within the next four or five days,we do not think that we will have any more trouble in getting out good pa pers. The items of news that were sent in this weekend had such mishap as to be set up in bad slugs will be in the next week's issue. Let our friends send in their items for next week.
