For months they had felt the hlow com. Sng, Jim had been a reporter oil th* Mercury for five years, Presently Lucy rose and began to prepare the evening meal, ‘‘Let’s get an abandoned farm In New England, dear,” she said. “You know one can pick them up for a' very (amaU tr s t payment, ?ou can write, |«nd, bit by bit, we can pull things to­ o th e r . Xcan raise chickens and we'll have a garden, and—" Lucy’s parents had had a farm In ,New Hampshire and had abandoned it when she was a year old. ■ They talked the scheme over all 'that evening, and It ended in their (Closing up the house and taking a ftrlp Into New Hampshire to, look ground. And then It was that they !came upon their Ideal village. It was a tiny, straggling place In a sheltered valley, with high mountains 'all round, and at,,the end of the long Street was the dearest . little plate— .about 12 acres, with a brook a t the [foot and ai little cottage, falling into {decay, but still weather-proof, with jold-fashtoned fireplaces and dormer {windows—just the place jtor them, j . “We Just have it, Lucy,” said Jim. I ‘ Lucy's own spirits rose. 1 bu t was It for rent or sale? It had ilaln vacant for raUre than 20 years, the neighbors said, ..Only one man {knew—Ezra Powell, tile boss of the lit­ tle community, the village banker, the landowner, whose property adjoined their own. As for the title deeds— the registrar’s office had been burned out 12 years before and there was no record remaining. , . They Went to»Ezra Powell and found a grim, red-faced, domineering man, whd* listened to their request for in­ formation with stolid malignity. “That place ain’t to rent or sell,” he said, when Jim had ended. “Is It mine? Young man, I don’t talk about my private affairs. I say you can’t . have It,” .■ “Unless that place Is yours we are going to take It,” said Jim, defiantly. Powell stormed and threatened and. the Interview terminated with vague threats' on the one side and defiance on the other. ’ v They moved out to Ctearwater- a week later, and. by the end of May. -the house was in order arid the ground broken up and planted.^ A motherly - hen and a br-ood of chicle;.'*1laid the foundation of what promised to be­ come a flourishing Industry. And soon, .they discovered .the cause of Powell’s hostility. It was the neighbors who told them, under pledges of secrecy and with every appearance of fear. There was a rich marble quarry on [ Powell’s land, and the. indications were that the vein ran obliquely under their own little farm. He could not put them but, but they could not have put him ,oqt. They’had only the right of prior •possession; . * Powell could, however, make life ’alomst impossible, and did. He in­ augurated a boycott, and the village tradesmen dared not serve Jim, who was compelled to go to Evesham for hfs supplies. On his return, loaded down, he found two rough-looking men a t the. door. Inside was Lucy, crying. “They tried to get me to come out," she said. “But I knew that if once I ;left the house they would take pos- laesslon. Jim, we are like prisoners," It was true; they were prisoners. iJlm dared not leave his land, I t was late In August when Powell ■visited them. “How long are you two fools going to hold out?" be asked. !“You’U have to give up afore winter. iCome, I’ll give you a couple of hundred 'to quit.” “I'll go,” said Jim, “for seven hun­ dred and fifty dollars." “Done!” shouted Powell with a ve­ hemence which amazed the house- bolder*. He bulled out a bulging ' aawkatbaok. which he had brought w*<n $3? the repose, ana pcaa* off eight ope hundred' dollar bills. “Hot charge?' he sneered, .Tit'.) v/tilked over to a-loose board and raised It, InaUle of a case was a Ic~al c o m m i t film took IS to the tSg?3f. “V*hat'o that?” shoaled Powell, sus- . fiielouely, | “It looks,” said Jim, deliberately, j “Ufce the legal title to this property,” “The legal owner of this place seems to be one Timothy Brand," said ,Uai. “That sounds like your father’s name, Lucy.” “Why—then this was “my father’s place !” Lucy exclaimed, I “Waft p miDiJfe.” cried Jim, "This i , ; ,vf.j to one hund.cd and j ninety four acres of land. Where Is the rest of our property? What about it, Powell?’’ , Powell was staring curiously at Jim, Suddenly he slipped to the floor. In a moment Jim was a t his side. “Bun for a doctor, Lucy 1” he shout­ ed, But when the doctor came Powell was beyond all earthly aid. Jim owns the marble quarry now, and, when he and his wife are dead, the property will not paw cut of tb f family. eA c.Decorative *Pen For the writing desk or as a com­ panion piece to the guest book, a pen with a feather quill for a handle makes a beautiful g ift Natural feath­ ers are as marvelous and beautiful in their markings as flowers and those in .neutral colors can be tinted if one wishes to brighten-them. .Many kinds Of feathers, Including those of t.’io ostrich, are used for these decorative pens and they make a gift suited to every ,grown-up. Sports in Old English Park. ' Evelyn and. Pepys mentir the horse and foot races that frequently took- place In Hyde park. PepyB records how he went with “Mr, Moor ftpd Mr. Creed to Hyde park, by coach, and •aw a fine foot race thre.e times round the park, between a’u Irishman and Crow, that was once my Lord Clay* pOle’a footman.” This was followed by a horse race, and in the interval the humble spectators partook of “milk of a red cow,!' and the quality sipped sillabub with sack In i t The ladles wagered scarlet stockings and Spanish scented gloves on their favorite steeds. Latin Words In English Language. Nearly one-third of the words in the English language are of Latin origin. Anglo-Saxon was spoken In England until the coming of William the Conqueror, Ip 1006. With the Bor­ man invasion, came the introduction of French Into tjie English language. Sev­ eral thousand of the French words were Latin with a few alterations, Later a still larger number of Latin words were Introduced Into the Eng­ lish language. Mica an Excstient Insulator. Mica does not bum or melt, except a t a very high temperature, and there* 1 fore it is an excellent electric insula­ tor. It Is non-hygroscoplc and offers more resistance to high voltage elec­ tricity than any insulating material ’ known. ..Arch Rest Shoes.. Combination last A. C.
