A GRAFTED
TREE
By ELIZABETH WEED
Fanner Parks was very proud of an
apple tree that grew betide the front
door of hit house. The apples it bore
were greenings, and there was usual
ly a bountiful crop. Perks' ton, Abel,
was engaged to Amanda Squeers, who
wat a very thrifty and a very ahrewd
girl. The old man waa a widower,
with no other children except Abel, and
when the father died the son would
inherit all his property. But Perks
wouldn't either die or give Abel enough
on which to be married.
One day the farmer brought home a
bough of an apple tree and grafted it
on to a limb of his favorite apple tree
that pointed directly toward hit house.
Not long after this a man named
Schmitt came to settle an account with
the farmer that had been of long
standing. Tbe man bad put In a cul
vert for Perks which had been washed
away, and Perkt, who had been obliged
to have the work done over by another
mason, refused to pay the bill present
ed by the first The creditor came aft
er supper In the evening and remain
ed arguing with and threatening Perks
with, a lawsuit till 10 o'clock. Perks
was not well, and the controversy oc
curred in hie bedroom on the second
story. Abel was in the house, but at
10 o'clock be went to bed In another
part of the house and was toon sonnd
asleep.
When In tbe morning he went Into
his father's room the old man was
dead. There was evidence that he hnd
been struck on the head wih some
hard Instrument like a poker. Abel
called In the neighbors and told them
the facts. Schmitt was arrested. But
he had evidently prepared himself for
the ordeal awaiting him, for he denied
having been at Perks' house at all
Indeed, he said be had spent tbe even
ing with a man ten miles from Perks'
talking about some work both were to
do together. The man corroborated
Schmltt's statement. Why he did so
was never known. But it was sup
posed that gchmltt made a confidant
of him and either worked on his feel
ings or paid him to save him.
Suspicion then fell on Abel, who In
herited his father's estate. He was
arrested, but since there was not a
scrap of evidence against him, except
that he and his father were the only
two persons known to be in tbe house
on the night of tbe murder, the Jury
bung for a long while, then finally
brought in a verdict of ncqulttal. But
his neighbors hollered him guilty ami
refused thereafter to have anything to
do with him.
Amanda Sqneprs alone believed In
her lover's innocence nnd that Schmitt
had committed the murder. She had
only Abel's word for Schmltt's having
been at the house to collect his bill
and that Abel had left him with his fa
ther When he went to bed. But she
knew, apart from her lover's state
ment, by a womnn's Intuition, that
Schmitt had done the murder. She
married Abel and accepted the stigma
that rested upon him.
Three years passed. One summer
Amanda noticed that the bough Perks
had grafted to his apple tree would
grow if tbe sash were left up Into a
window of the old man's former bed
room. Tbe weather being warm, sne
propped up the sash, and the bough.
covered with blossoms, extended a
yard or more into tbe room. One day
in midsummer she passed Schmltt's
house and said to him:
"Mr. Schmitt, It has been revealed
to me who killed my husband's father.
That has always been a mystery, and
confess I have always believed you
did the deed. Now I know who did It.
Come to the house tomorrow afternoon
and I will convince you."
Schmitt kept a steady face, but with
in he trembled. He did not wish to go
to her house, and he dare not stay
away. Above all, he felt that he must
know if Mrs. Perkt had any clew. He
did not say to her whether or no he
would accept her invitation, but tbe
next afternoon, bracing himself with
strong potation, he started for the
house.
Amanda welcomed him at the door.

ad to believe that the bad got on to a

courage. At any rate there were no
witnesses to what would occur. Aman
da chatted with blm for a time on
ordinary matters, then said:
"Now, if you will follow ma I will
enable you to prove your Innocence of
the murder."
She led the way up the staircase
and Into tbe room in which the mur
der had been committed. Tbe window
sash wat up, tnd tbe end of a branch
of the apple tree extended into the
room. On it were several ripe tpplea.

P INt
WILL BE CHEAPER
State WUi Furnish It At The Cost
Of Production In About
Two Weeks.
APPROPRIATION
OF $3,000
Many People In New Bern Being
Vaccinated One Doctor Vac
cinates Two Hundred.
An article in yesterday's Raleigh
News and Observer says:
"Vaccination for the avoidance of
the disease of typhoid fever is the
experiemnt that will go into form in
North Carolina within the coming
lew weeks, and in accordance with
the special appropriation of $3,000
for the manufacture of the typhoid
vaccine, the State Laboratory ol Hy
giene will distribute the vaccine over
the State at actual cost.
"The last General Assembly made
provision for the manufacture of this
vaccine which can be inserted into
the arm as in instances of smallpox,
but the severity of the after effects is
not to be compared with the small
pox insertion. The insertion causes
only a slight soreness as after effects,
and the danger is not so threatening
as in the case of smallpox vaccine.
"North Carolina is the first Southern
State to make application of the vac
cine for typhoid fever, which has
proved of worth to a number of
Northern States, where practical use
has been made in the reduction of
the death rate as victims of typhoid.
"North Carolina heads the list of
States for its remarkably large death
rate from the disease. The statistics
show that in 1911 the rate of death
in the State from Typhoid was 66 per
hundred thousand for whites, and 79
for colored; in 1912 the reduction was
made to 37 for white and 51 for ne
groes. Yet this is abnormally large
when comparative figures show that
for the same year, that the average
in the entire United States was only 21
for every hundred thousand of the
p ulation.
"Figures relative to the application
of this new discovery of vaccine, as a
preventive for the disease, show that
of 82,000 United States soldiers vac
cinated up to July 1, 1912, the death
rate dropped from 3.03 per thousand
in 1909 to 0.3 in 1912.
On reading this article yesterday
morning City Superintendent of Health
J. F. Patterson telephoned the State
Health Board for further particulars.
He ascertained that the supply of
vaccine referred to in the article
will be available in about two weeks.
The cost to the patient will be the cost
of the production as the State will not
attempt to make any profit on the
vaccine. The cost at present for the
vaccine and syringes for the three
insertions necessary is $1.50. When the
supply comes in from the State Labor
atory of Hygiene the cost will be only
twenty-five cents. The physician's
charges for administering the vaccine
are of course a different matter from the
cost of the vaccine.
A great many people in New Bern are
being vaccinated as a precaution against
typhoid. A single physician stated
yesterday that he had vaccinated two
hundred people.
