Kitty and the 1 Cabinet $And a Ring That Was Finally! Put to Good Use. i ' X- 1 By JOHN BEAUMONT. "See here," said Chester hotly, "if you think I stole the ring why don't you say so and search me?" "Vincent," cried Elvia, "how can you Bay such a thing?"' , - "I'm simply putting into wdrds what Miss Celeste has been hinting for the last ten minutes," he cried. "Celeste may have been unfortunate in her remarks," said John Noai'.os sii-.;tluniy, "but she meant nothing of that sort." Vincent Chester laughed. Ever since Mis.-: Celeste Xoailes descended upon hi'i brother's bot: roliold at the death of his wife she had fought Vincent. iTe wa a boy then, bat even then in love wi'.h Elvia, tvtl Miss Celeste had high er idons if matrimony for her ven al tractive niece.

"Will you search me, sir?" he asked. 'o :;-;ense!" cried ins host. "Celeste, for heaven's sake keep still. My boy, is-) one believes that yon would steal onyt Inn 7 except one thing." He patted Elvia's shoulder meaning ly to explain his last sentence and thereby added fuel to Miss Celeste's Maine. "T don't oee why he should not be searched," -she finned. "The ring was here a moment ago, and now it is gone." "You see," said Vincent. "Again, I .,,.-!. --q ;;:c." "My. boy. you were not a day bid when I first took you in my army.'' said Mr. Xoailcs. "I would as soon ac cuse myself of crime as to believe it of you." "Well, if you won't," said Vincent briskly. "I'll have to cIj it myself, ! guess." Ilapidly he turned out the contents of his pockets, spreading them on the table. John Noailes sprang forward as though to stop him, but Elvia laid a detaining hand upon his shoulder. "It is better so," she whispered. "It r; the only way to convince auntie." They stood silent until the things had been returned to Crawford's pock ets; then Mr. Noailes stepped forward. "This should satisfy you. Celeste." he said sternly. "I want to tel! you that if you ever raise the question again I sV-ill not condone vonr second offense." "Very well." said Miss Celeste, with a shrug of her shoulders. "Since 1 soc-:n to be so much in the way here I suppose that Mr. Crawford will per mit me to retire." She "swept grandly from the room, leaving the three to fa.ee each other un comfortably. All knew that Miss Ce leste was not satisfied and were fear ful of her next outbreak. Each tried to appear at ease, but the pleasure of the vi.-it was gone, and presently Crawford made an excuse for talcing his departure. Elvia follow ed him to the door. "V.Td you drop in tomorrow even-in--;" she asked. "We shall probably be'Vtb'e to tell you then where we I'a-'inl the ring." 'I am afraid that I cannot get around," he said uncomfortably. "If you tin;! it will you write?" ' 'Won't you come over?" pleaded El j via but Vincent shook his head. Ho j had ' ef--n shocked by the accusation. I iind not even the belief of Elvia and ! her father could salve his wounded i foeiings yet. It seemed almost as I though he were passing out of Elvia's ! life. - 1 T"p in her room Miss Ceseste was sit ! t'l."' i t her writing table while her i Hi-v eon covered sheet after sheet of ! note paper.

N, J. 13-26 afternoon to purchase some of the books which gave her the right to ask questions by mail. Once or twice since then she had con sulted the oracle, and now she was writing for advice as to the where abouts of the ring. It was well for her faith that she -was not present at the answering of her question. Two young men sat before a table in a cheap theatrical boarding house when a messenger entered with a package of letters to add to the pile on the fable. One of them caught the thick blue envelope up. "Here's another whole boob to be an swered," he laughed as he slit open the cover. "Twelve pages," he gasped as he turned over the closely written pages. "She must want her money's worth." "What's the question," laughed the other "love or theft?" "Something' about a ring," chuckled the first as he read the first paragraph. "Listen. 'At several crises in my life,' " he read, " 'I have turned to you for ad vice, and you have never failed me. Xow, in sore distress of mind, I come to you for advice as to a ring which I have reason to believe was stolen. I will acquaint you with the facts iu the' " "Cut it." urged the other. "Just use tho old standby, 'Your first suspicion was correct. That'll do as well as any!h;i;g." The reader scribbled on the pad of paper before him and slipped it iu the return envelope. A couple of days lat er Miss Celeste read the confirmation of her suspicion and bore it in triumph to her brother. Jehn-Xoailes came as close to swear ing at a woman as he had ever done in his life, but he checked his temper and solemnly warned her of the folly of givi: :v; heed to tho charlatans, but even as ho spoke he knew that nothing would convince her of Vincent's inno i en e save the finding of the ring. Gradually it became noised about the town that the spirits had told Miss Xoaiiej that Crawford was a thief. Vincent had not been near the house since that niht, and his apparent break veritied the gossip. It began to look ugly for his prospects when Miss Xoailes was moved to entertain a few friends. Elvia sat apart from the rest trying to appear interested in the conversa tion while her thoughts were with Vincent when suddenly Miss Celeste sat up in her chair. "That miserable kitten has brought o J-nrio in 1iAv cl.f.riKl ns Jin irrog ular rattle en the hardwood floor broke upon their ears. "She is forever play ing with bones." Elvia sprang toward her aunt. The kitten was one Vincent had given her nn.1 for thnt reason disliked bV Miss Celeste. Just as they turned to the' heavy cabinet under which the kit-; ten was playing Shah bounded out from under the low setting cabinet ia pursuit of his plaything. , Elvia's startled cry scared him, and he scampered off, abandoning his toy. Elvia pounced upon it. "Do you remember that Shah was playing in here that night?" she cried. "This is what he was playing with." She held up a jeweled circle. "The ring dropped on the floor, and the sparkle of the diamond attracted Shah. As long as he was on the rug we did not hear him. lie must have knocked it under the cabinet. Xellie never sweeps under there. Eook!" She caught up a light cane and poked un der the cabinet. The dirt she swept out showed that the ring could easily have lain there since its loss. "Perhaps you will believe the Rays now," laughed John Xoailes, coming forward. "I guess I'll call up Vincent." "I'll call him," volunteered Elvia. 'I guess that you had better, daugh ter," he laughed. "You can promise any tiling if he will come over." Elvia's promise must have been at tractive, for Crawford borrowed an au tomobile to come in, and after Miss Celeste had humbled herself to an apology John Xoailes insisted that that ring be the engagement one. The Lost Watch. A detective tells this story about a "confidence man," who gave the police a lot of trouble. One day the detective was in an auc tion room." where "fake" jewelry was being sold. A lot of watches were of fred cheap, worthless affairs, but got up to look like solid gold. They were knocked down for 2.13 apiece, and the detective noted that they were bought by this confidence man. Two months later the detective met him and asked him what he had done with tbe watches. The scoundrel explained his scheme. Tie had hired a room, put j in a desk and ft few cnairs and maoe himself up to look like an old man. Then he advertised something like this- "Found-A solid gold watch. Loser can have it by paying costs. Apply," etc. Xjearly every smart thief in town answered the advertisement, claimed the watch and paid $10 for "costs." In two days he disposed of his entire stock in this way, and about 100 smart thieves were fuming over their loss. Tve of gain has been known to tarn a wile man Into a fool.-Florida Times Union.

It was a glorious morning, such as comes to us in the merry month of May; I had arrived unexpectedly at my home in Asheville from a trip abroad. Finding that all at my home were still roaming in "The Beautiful Vale of Dreams," I fat down on the veranda to enjoy the beauties of Nature. The town nestled among the mighty mountains which seemed to caress it on all sides. The peaks towered in their lofty grandeur to the heights of the firmament. Here and there could be seen rose-colored shafts mingling with the blue of the horizon as the sun, the powerful king of day, slowly rose above the mountain peaks. The bahny spring weather was gloriously beautiful and the soft air was diffused with the blended frag rance of honeysuckles and rhododen drons. The heaven was without a cloud, but a pearly white mist loit ered in the atmosphere of the upper calm which the rosy radiance of the ascending sun began to lift as it rapidly suffused the horizon. During the night a gentle rain had fallen, and under the first shim mering sunbeams of the dawn the waving grasses and tender foliage of the trees and shrubbery took on a deeper brilliancy. As I sat in the full enjoyment of the vivid picture before me, lo! there came to me wafted by the swset breezes of morn the full sweet notes of a song falling from the lips of some early riser, even now at his toils of the day. The familiarity of the melody forced me to listen in t3ntly for the words. Ah! they came to me as clearly as the tinkling of the bell. Could" it be possible so far away from the place of my child hood school days that, this was a song of then? Yes, it was the class song of the graduating class of 1913, when at the high school in Scotland Neck. It thrilled my soul, and as ontinoi! cbitidv d :fifl SWSV TT1V 1 " . . thoughts were borne to each ana every one of my school mates of old, an(J I wondered what had become ot them, what heights they had at tained in the seven long years that had elapsed since those happy days. I was seriously thinking when suddenly a fairy appeared before me in wonderful beauty. She was clad in dazzling white raiment, a crown of jewels adorned her head and a silver wand swayed to and fro in her hand. As I looked at her in mingled won der and surprise she advanced near er. "What is the one great wish of your heart?" The words seemed a part of my revery and I could scarce ly believe but what I was dreaming. "The one great wish?" I echoed. "Yes," and the tones were as gentle as snowflakes, "one wish, whatever it may be, I will grant you." In stantly and almost involuntarily I exclaimed. "Tell me of the high school class of 1913." As a picture there appeared be fore me at the waving of the hand, a large, sunshiny room. In it was a gracious young woman surrounded by little children who looked at her with loving eyes. Who could it be: A second look and I recognized Alice Tillery, who had always want ed to teach kindergarden. Little did I think, however, to see her in Denver, Colorado. The scene changed to Bellevue Hospital, New York. The alert young man coming down the hall with quick step was Dr. Richard David House, probably the most noted surgeon in the city. Whi'.e taking a degree at Johns Hopkins Hospital he became interested in the study oe the eye. By repeated experiments he discovered that he couldmake a lens by hardening the vltiline substance of the eye that would reflect rose-colored rays of liszht through the skull and clearly define the minute anatomy of the brain. Since this great discovery lead to the cure of every form of insanity Dr. House is the most noted Cntict of the world. As he had so manv cares, he naturally-hurried but this morning he was hurrying to lunch with his charming wife. It tp easv to recognize in the beauti ful woman who awaited him Hilda Hancock, whose talents and rare in telligence made her as popular as her husband. Quite different was the next scene H0rp in a cozy home on tne Damsso th Yn?stekiang I saw Laura White As a trained nurse she made many onHc, in China, among them Mr r... a missionary. She liked him so well that she decided ito change both her name and vocation. . From China to Germany was ' a long way, but in a moment I saw an auditorium in Berlin crowded with people listening with bated breath to music which fell from the fingers of our old friend, John Josey. Dur ing the years since 1913 he had gain ed distinction as a pianist, and it was considered a great privilege to be allowed to attend his concerts. Back to the United States again to Boston. After teaching two years in the town of Idaho Kate Tillery, with her large brown eyes, gibsony air, and charming manners, could not fail to attract'a handsome rep resentative of the stronger sex and although she thought that she had strongly fortified herself against the weapon of Cupid, one good archer's dart finally pierced the bulwarks, and as a result a Massachusetts rep resentative in congress carried her off as his prize. Another class member, Turner Whitehead, seemed to have prosper ed, to judge from his palatial home in California, where he had become the head of an immense steel trust. The former Scotland Neck belle, Lydia Josey, was sharing his joys and sorrows. Strange to say, Henry Moore and Seba Whitehead had continued the friendship of high school days and they had become millionaires by deals with Union Pacific railroad stock. They had not married, but in their trips over the United States in their private car they had attract ed many of the fair sex and had be come, in the slang phrase of the day, "heart smashers." Strangest of all, and I experienced a shock as I perceived this, Willie Moore and Missoura Purvis had remained "unplucked blossoms." Though they had numerous suitors they rejected them one and all, turn ing a deaf ear to their pleadings and lived together in a cozy little cottage with their cats and parrots. It is never too late to mend, however, so their prospects might change. Jesse Bowers developed his talent for baseball and became catcher on the American league team of Phila Ai . C iU " e,-" while thousands of people crowded the bleachers, only one face loomed before his vision. It was that of Miss Gertie Dunn, of Scotland Neck, who had grown to a beautiful young lady. I was not surprised to recognize in the Honorable James Shields, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, our old friend Jimmie. Although he had to be dignified at times, his grin remained the same and occasionally one could hear his familiar laugh when he was amused. As a fitting close to the interest ing scenes I beheld a New Haven of rest in Connecticut, where Miss Lewis resided with the one and only William. A Morning Toolh Talk.

BRYCE I grew up with a full realization of tlm ereat risks attending: luarriuge. I wished that a husband might be select ed for me, as marriages are made Iu foreign countries, especially among princes. If. however. I had left the matter to my parents both of them would have died leaving mo nu old inuid. And being an old maid was n horror to me. I wished to be a wife, the moth er of children, the feminine head of a home. My trouble was to make a se lection of the man to be the masculine head. This may sound amiss, but the truth is there were several men who had proposed to me. They were all good men, but I dared not risk matri mony with any of them. "I know what's the matter with you,' said my friend, Mrs. Seamon. "You have never met a man of your own caliber one who, the moment you saw him, you would wish to possess." "It wouldn't make any difference," 1 replied. "I would not marry him. The only way for me to marry is not to know who the bridegroom Is to be and be married In the dark. Once tied 1 would have to get used to it, I sup pose." "I am not sure but you are right. 1 know such a man as I have described to you. You might be married to him, just as you say, in the dark without ever having seen him. He has never seen you and was only yesterday mak ing the same plaint you have made." To make a long story short, I be came engaged to John Chesborough, knowing only his name and what Mrs. Seamon had said about him. We were to be married in a dark room with not a ray of light in it As soon as the knot was tied the lights (electric) were to be all turned on at once, and after a few moments' conversation we and a few relatives who would be present were to adjourn to another room and nartake of a wedding breakfast. Then we were to part, not to come together a train until mutually agreed. It might be a month, a year or never. Had I been about to marry a man I knew and was to live with him from the day of our marriage I should have during the engagement been on the border of nervous collapse, especially on standing up to be married. As it was. It seemed to me that I was wait ing to moke a trip or sign a deed to a piece of property or something like that And when I went Into tnat aarit room and my father led me to the spot where I was to be married I was per fnMIr InillrTprpIlt AS to What I Was about to do. Perhaps this does not correctly ex press my feelings. I felt a pleasure akin to gambling. I was like one who expects to draw a prize or a blank. How I did hope I would draw a prize And, If I should draw a blank, what then? Simply this: If I didn't fancy him I would not live with him. The advantage In the plan was that there was something strong enough to Dina us together till we might begin a weld ing process. Having been put In position, the cler gyman began the services. At that wnere n . Pt part where he placed my hand in that ow? There is something in the ciasp cf a hand that draws us to an - other or repels us. I felt that tne nana jjtc.

From that moment I was so absorb, ed that I forgot to make the responses, and the clergyman was obliged to wait till I had done so before proceeding. When the end came and I heard the words "man and wife' pronounced I was In a delirium of anxiety. For the first lime I dreaded disappointment, but I had no time to indulge my emo tions. Iu an instant every light was turned on at once. I turned and look ed up Into a handsome, manly, kindly faco that looked down upon mine with an encouraging smile. A clapping of hands sounded lu my cars, but since my whole being was engrossed 1b what I believed to be a prize I had drawn in the lottery of marriage It seemed to me in some faraway theater. My husband offered me his arm, aud we led the little procession of attend ants to the adjoining room, where the breakfast was served. It had been agreed that there should le no con gratulations, since they might be pain ful. But we were no sooner seated at tho table than some one proposed a toast to "the first and second prize, the former drawn by the groom, the latter by the bride." I tried not to show my relief and happtnesn, but la spite of all my efforts a continual smile hovered on my lips and a blush burned in my cheek at every happy word spoken to me. Our breakfast lasted till early after noon, when one by one the otherj withdrew, and presently we found our selves alone. My husband rose. "The" contract, I believe." he said, "calls for a parting immediately after the breakfast." "Immediately:'" I said, looking I know not where to avoid his gae. "I leave you to name the exact time." "Then let It be later. We will visit awhile In the drawing room." The only part of the contract that was not carried out was the parting. I do not recommend the plan of tny marriage to others, but for me It was an instantaneous and, I may say, a lifelong success. Desirable Farms. If a farmer wants to buy a farm he will pay more for one on a good road. This shows that he knows that a farm on a good road is worth more than one on a bad road. It proves conclusively and adsolutely that ho is satisfied that a good road adds to the value of land Therefore, ac cording to the logicians, a farmer is going back on his horse sense when he votes against bnilding improved highways. Every good road is a value-making and all of us reconize it when we prefer to have a farm on the very best "good roads" in th country. Hence no man can make a mistake when he votes for impro ved roads and the rural development that is brought about as a consequ ence. We leave the subject right here in this nutshell and defy any body to crack it. Wilmington Star. RUB-EU1Y Will cure vour Rheumatism J Ntef Headaches, Cramps, . Colic.
