<br />"The modern bungalow is a delusion
<br />and a snare."
<br />"Suburbanites are an unneigbborly,
<br />churlish lot."
<br />Thus did Harriet and Pierce Elkins
<br />respectively sum up their first month
<br />at Meadow Manor, where, on the ad-
<br />vice of old fancily friends, Mr. and
<br />Mrs. Sam Rogers, they bad taken a
<br />picturesque bungalow for the season.
<br />Harriet based her judgmeut on warp-
<br />ing doors and a shortage in books and
<br />other small domestic esseutials, sum-
<br />ming up with the announcemeut that
<br />when women turned architects houses
<br />would be properly planned.
<br />Her brother founded his criticism on
<br />the fact that the young woman whom
<br />he had nomivated as the Meadow Man-
<br />or beauty had so far ignored his very
<br />existence. She boarded the 8:30 train
<br />with him five days out of seven and
<br />yet seemed to hold herself aloof not
<br />only from him, but all other masculine
<br />creatures.
<br />She was a most competent young
<br />person and never gave him the least!
<br />opportunity to do her a service. In his l
<br />determination to make an opportunity
<br />for knightly service he ignored the
<br />friendly overtures of other neighbors.
<br />At last opportunity appeared on the
<br />horizon. Pierce had taken the 2:30
<br />train home in hopes of getting a turn j
<br />on the links to counteract the depress-
<br />ing effects of falling stocks, and there,
<br />walking briskly ahead of him under
<br />the arching trees of the quaint village,
<br />was the inaccessible beauty. And in
<br />the dust at the right of her daintily up-
<br />lifted skirt lay a handkerchief. Pierce
<br />Elkins darted forward.
<br />"I beg your pardon, but I think you
<br />dropped this."
<br />The girl glanced first at the mon,
<br />then at the bit of cambric in his hand,
<br />and smiled.
<br />"But I did not drop it," she said and
<br />in verification of the statement pulled
<br />her handkerchief from her sleeve.
<br />Mumbling inaudible words of apolo- 1
<br />gy, Pierce turned down the
<br />oPPosite
<br />street toward home. Even golf did not
<br />improve bis humor, and the next morn-
<br />ing at breakfast his mood had not
<br />changed.
<br />"Will you have two lumps?" asked
<br />Harriet as she was pouring the coffee.
<br />"Seventeen," growled Pierce.
<br />"Seventeen, all in one cup!" cried
<br />Harriet in amazement.
<br />"I thought you asked me the day of
<br />the month," explained Pierce. "Two
<br />will do, The fact Is, Sis, I did not
<br />sleep well last night, and my brain is
<br />befuddled. That blamed roof leaked
<br />again, and the rain came right in on
<br />my bed. I've decided not to go to
<br />town this morning, but instead I'm go-
<br />ing round to see our landlord and tell
<br />him what I think of him."
<br />"The roof over the kitchen leaks,
<br />too," said Harriet plaintively. "You
<br />might mention that also."
<br />"What's the beast's name?" asked
<br />Pierce.
<br />"I really don't know," Harriet an-
<br />swered. "'rhe bilis come In signed
<br />'M. M., per Hock & Hock.' "
<br />"Well, I won't bother Hock & Hock,
<br />for they are like all agents," said
<br />Pierce. "I want the man higher up -
<br />the owner himself. M. M.," he mused -
<br />"I bet his name is Mike Murphy, and
<br />I'll also wager that I'll rouse his Irish
<br />before I get through with him."
<br />"He lives in the little white bunga-
<br />low on Maple avenue. Mr. Hock point-
<br />ed it out to me," directed Harriet as
<br />her brother started on his mission.
<br />Pierce soon found the bungalow and
<br />rang the bell. He waited a moment
<br />and then rang again. He was in no
<br />mood to wait From the hall inside a
<br />voice called, "Coining, coming!"
<br />And she came -the beauty!
<br />Pierce gasped. He had evidently
<br />made another mistake.
<br />"I am looking for our missing land-
<br />lord," be exclaimed. "I really don't
<br />know his name -some Irish contractor,
<br />I'll bet, ashamed to sign his full name."
<br />"Sit down on the porch, won't you,
<br />Mr."- She hesitated. The beauty
<br />would make no mistakes.
<br />"Elkins is my name -Pierce Elkins -
<br />and I fear I have made a mistake. My
<br />sister and I live in the little red cot-
<br />tage on New street I'm searching for
<br />our landlord -name unknown, but
<br />methods atrocious. Really Miss -Miss" -
<br />Now Pierce hesitated.
<br />"Markwell," she added.
<br />"This landlord signs his receipts 'M.
<br />M.,' and I'm after his blood," finished
<br />Elkins.
<br />"Won't you sit down?" again sug-
<br />gested Miss Markwell, and she deftly
<br />turned the conversation into more
<br />agreeable channels. The landlord was
<br />forgotten.
<br />"I wonder if your sister would like
<br />to know me," said the beauty finally.
<br />"I know it is my place to call, but 1
<br />rather hesitated -well. for several rea
<br />sons."
<br />"Oh, I do wish you would call on
<br />Harriet! She's a brick all right and as
<br />lonesome as a stray cat No one has
<br />called yet."
<br />"Well, I'll come over this afternoon
<br />whlle you are on the links," said Miss
<br />Markwell, with some emphasis about
<br />the links.
<br />But when Miss Markwell called that
<br />afternoon it was Pierce who answered
<br />the bell.
<br />"You see, I've such a fearful cold
<br />from that leaking roof," he explained,
<br />"that I thought I had better stay home
<br />and nurse it."
<br />Miss Markwell bit her lip.
<br />I do hope, Miss Elkins," she said,
<br />"that I may be allowed to see this
<br />much talked of roof while I am here.
<br />The fact is," she continued, with ratli-
<br />er halting speech -"the fact is, oh,
<br />bother -I'm your landlord."
<br />Pierce took a firm grip on the table
<br />to keep from losing his balance. Nei-
<br />ther he nor Harriet spoke, and the
<br />beauty was forced to cover the pause.
<br />"I'm the 'Terrible Turk; I'm 'Mike
<br />Murphy,' alias Muriel Markwell, alias
<br />'M. M.' " She seemed quite relieved
<br />that the awful news was out.

<br />One of those blinding snowstorms
<br />that sometimes happen had swept over
<br />the town, obliterating the landscape
<br />and piling
<br />the drifts high

<br />streets and on the sidewalks. The
<br />prospect as 31r. Hipperly looked out
<br />of his front window the morning after
<br />the storm was appalling.
<br />"I suppose I've got to shovel that
<br />snow off my walks," he said to his
<br />wife, "but it will take me half a day.
<br />I wouldn't do it for $5 if I didn't
<br />have to."
<br />He took ids snow shovel, however,
<br />and went bravely to work. About five
<br />minutes later a man in the garb of a
<br />laborer came along.
<br />"Mister," he asked, "don't you want
<br />to hire that done?"
<br />"I don't know," responded Mr. Hip-
<br />perly. "What will it cost me?"
<br />The than looked at the huge drifts
<br />that covered the walks for a depth of
<br />nearly three feet and shrugged his
<br />shoulders.
<br />"The job's worth $1," he said.
<br />"It's too much," said Mr. Hipperly.
<br />"I'll give you 50 cents."
<br />The man shook his head and moved
<br />on. Mr. Hipperly was about to resume
<br />operations when he happened to glance
<br />at his front window and saw his wife
<br />looking at him with a queer smile on
<br />her face. Then he remembered.

<br />evils of the liquor traffic, reaffirm our
<br />faith in Abraham Lincoln's declaration
<br />that "the world wit tw vastly benefited

<br />of all intoxicating drinks," and we de-
<br />mand the immediate and total prohibition
<br />of the manufacture. sale, importation,
<br />and exportation of all i1 luxicauing liquors
<br />for beverage purposes.
<br />We pledge our legislative candidates to
<br />the support of any measure that will give
<br />the voters the right to prohibit the traffic
<br />by counties. Yet we recognize that such
<br />legislation striker no blow at the brewery
<br />or distillery. which is the root of the traf-
<br />fic. and we demand nothing short of the

<br />subject to much jolting and jarring and

<br />sometime I was troubled with avery lame
<br />back and headaches were of frequent
<br />occurrence. My kidneys did not act
<br />properly, the secretions passer] so fre-
<br />quently at times as to be very annoying.
<br />When Doan's Kidney Pills wereso highly
<br />advertised at F. W: Finch's drug store I
<br />decided to try them, and procured a box.
<br />They soon strengthened my back and my
<br />kidneys began to assume their normal
