It was a bird and a book that led Dale Worden to beeom acquainted with Bella Vance. Hth bad caught bis teye as he was passing along a huv Jcity street and jmused to Raze Into the show window of a taxidermist. It was dismal and dust-infected, as are most twindows given to tne cibibition of in janlmate nature in the shape of stuffed land preserved entities, but next to a dilapidated eaple with one jrlsss eye ,'bulginp and an articulated upe minus a foot there was a fair specimen f a tailor bird, neat ami foppish of plum Jare as in its native woods. The pretty songster, mute Jusi now, (touched a chord of memory in the mind of Worden that was pleasing. Where he had passed bis life in the Ozark bird life was at its most entic ilng and interesting stage. His father had lived and died among l hem. bad iglven his years to their study, had written two books on their history and 'habits and both bad become standard in the scientific libraries of the world, iln the window lay one of these vol umes. It showed usage, but was evi dently placed there to attract a pur icbaser. The sign over the place, old and faded, read: "Robert Vance." The young man opened the door of the jstuffy, feebly lighted shop, and a bell 'attached to Its other side tinkled. He hlnd the counter was a young girl, wearing a long apron, busy sew ing to igather a rent tn the web foot of a .rare species of Labrador duck. She wss fresh and charming as to face and wore a radiant smile of youth and innocence. , "Mr. Vance Is not In, I suppose?" suggested Worden. My uncle Is gone for the after noon," replied Bella Vance, "but I may (be able to 6erve you if it is anything In stock." "No," dissented Worden, "a mere whim to see Mr. Vance," and then IWorden told of how the familiar tailor (bird had made him think of home, and ',ct his pleasure at coining across the book his father had written. The (girl's eyes glowed as he spoke of the (paradise of greenery her young eyes had never seen, and she said : JIy uncle will welcome you, indeed, for he holds In reverence the work of a man which lias become his own fa ivorite textbook. Tell roe more about lyour father's wonderful home and tworkwill you not?", she asked in a spirit of- genuine Interest. ; Worden was nothing loath to expati ate on the rare old family mansion, 'with its quaint, pretty nooks and cor ners, but his auditor had attention most for "the house In the tree," a Titan of the fores where John Wor- Jden had built an aenai nome ior mm-, iself and his favorites.

When they turned their faces ;homewnrd she could talk of little else jbut the bird house and the grand 'views, and the sweet solitudes sur jrounding It. The grand old mansion jand Its roomy comfort had no attrac tion for her. The house in the tree (seemed to be surrounded in tier Itboughts with a rare idyllic faseina tlon. It was well that this was so. A vast surprise greeted Dale Worden when they motored up to the home of bis youth. It ws in ashes, and the hired man explained that It had burned I down a week previous.

PHYSICIAN FINED $50 FOR FAILURE TO MAKE REQUIRED REPORT OF BIRTH. Raleigh, July 19. The highest fine yet imposed in a local court for a viola tion of the state vital statistics law was imposed during the past week on Dr. B. W. Tugman, of Ajv'arrensville, Ashe coun ty, who was assessed $."0 ami the costs in tvvo cases for failing to report births where he was the attending physician. The case of Dr. Tugman was aggrava ted by the fact that last summer he was convicted and given a nominal fine for a similar offense, and in the present in stance prosecution was instigated only after repeated efforts had been made to get him to comply with the law.

Failure- to comply with the provisions of the law will not be tolerated, and prosecutions will le. in stituted in all cases of violations, re gardless of who may be affected." THE WOMEN'S CAMP.

Kor woman, once regarded as frail hot house plant that could not stami rough' treatment except in the kitchen and in lighter form of agriculture, it marks another step towards that spirit ual emancipation which she has long been approaching. For this region the camp means new friends, new ideas and conse quently a fifiner and more enjoyable and worthy order of living in many ways. A glance over the courses of instruc tion which are offered as supplement to the physical rebuilding, shows an attrac the variety of studies useful and stimu lating to mental faculties. In all, it would be difficult to imagine a two-weeks more profitable and happier than the wo men in training under Ms Cocroft wjll have. Prom this first encampment the friends of this mountain playground hope that there will go out a new fame of the Car olina hills as a summer home for those whoseek rejuvenation in outdoor life.

A storage battery ipsulating material mQ up of rubber pierced with thousands of tiny threads. Q. How does it differ from other . battery insulation? A. Ordinary nvtubttion is wood, cut in the form of thin sheets, and is neither as uniform nor as .durable as Threaded Rub ber Insulation. Q. Why is insulation so im portant? A. Because battery life depends largely on insulation, and be cause any defect or weak ness of insulation is quickly evidenced by buckled plates, short circuits, and failure of the battery to hold its charge and so on. Q. What has this insulation to do with battery shipment? A. The land of insulation deter . mines whether the battery must be kept wet, or can be shipped in "bone dry condi 'tion. Wood insulation must never be allowed to dry out, hence makes necessary wet or partially wet shipment. With Threaded Rubber Insu- la tion the battery can be shipped ebeohrtery "bone dry." Q.

Why does wood insulation need to be replaced? A. Because wood insulation being soft, wears oat more rapidly than any other part of the battery. It is also subject to cracking and checking, which, if allowed to go too ' far, serisVualy damages the battery Q. Why doea Threaded Rub ber Insulation outlast the battery? . A.
