Sarah Henrietta Westwelt n the
Bam entered In the register of the ivy
clad church, and In her baby days she
wan called Sally. But from the day her
Cnpld'i arch of a mouth learned to
frame Intelligent wntencea Jack Hardy
had dubbed ber the "town crier."
The nlrkname was ao apt that It
stuck, being reduced for siinllrity's
aake to T. !. Kven during thuae slern
minutes lu the library with her falhei
lie often dropiied the sober Burnt) for
toe more universal T. C.
T. C'a nickname was due to ber gen
ius for the dissemination of bita of
gossip beat forgotteu. llrr mind seem
ed naturally to empty itself of all In
formation, and young Hardy alb-red
an old saw Into "What goes in T. C.'s
ear comes out of her mouth."
As T. C. grew In underxtaiulliig the
habit got her more firmly in Its grip.
Instead of learnlug to appreciate the
value of reticence, her wider scoe of
knowledge served ouly the lietter to
equip her for the gathering of sundry
bits of gossip which she would blurt
out at the most Inopportune occasions
until not only her family, lint her
friends, came to regard her with an
affection that was not unrolled with
-terror.
T. C, being a sensitive little soul,
grieved In secret and made earnest
vowa that she would tattle no more.

She meant to mend her wayi, but at
the flnt opportunity ber store of
knowledge would roll out unchecked
and oureallied.
It warn to Jack Hardy that abe al
ways went for sympathy and advice
wben theft revelotlona and their con
aequences hung heavy over her head.
Though Jack bad given ber the odloua
nickname, he made partial atonement
by never employ in g It.
To him she waa "Peterkln,' and.
though frequently be waa a sufferer
from ber disclosures, be was ever
ready with advice, sympathy or candy,
aa the occasion seemed to demand, for
a alone apparently realised that ber
fault waa temperamental and not the
result of maliciousness,
T. C. fairly worshiped Hardy, yet all
the little Intimate details of bis court
ship of her sister Nell leaked out along
with the rest of ber chatter, and there
were times wben Hardy's forbearance
was put to a hard test. It was charac
teristic of the man that even the per
sonal experience did not abate his iym
patby for T. C, not even when be pro
posed to Nell and was given a negative
newer.
Wben Nell made hysterical reference
.to another girl be felt that be bad T. C.
to thnnk for this, yet his ofllce still
waa her haven of refuge, and ibe tout
Jy dented that ahe had said anytblng
about some other woman.
Hardy's questions had tt be dis
creetly fmtued If be did not wish the
fact of bin rejection to become com
mon tnlk. and he could not press the
Investigation. Instead he sought ab
sorption In work, but the practice of a
country lawyer seldom proves absorb
ing, and II a My grew thin and white
while he waited and hoped for a clear
ing up of the trouble.
, He was sitting Idly at his desk one
afternoon when T. C. poked her bead
Into the doorway and. finding that be
was alone, entered boldly.
"What Is It, Peterklnr he asked,
printing a klsa on the child's troubled
face. "Have you been telling tbe min
ister what your father said when he
whs attked to contribute to the chancel
fund, or did yon explain to the guests
at the porty that the aalad waa made
with canned lobster?
"Worse 'an that,' waa the doleful
declaration as T. C. snuggled against
the brond shoulder. "The school com
mittee visited this afternoon. Mr.
Fprngue asked us what love was, and
1 told hitn it was the way the principal
acted with Mls Saunders. They all
laughed, but Miss Hqulren got red In
tbe face, and I wns extwlled. It Is the
truth,' she added dctiitniiy. "He kisses
ber when he thinks no one can sec him,
and she calls htm 'Uenrvle.' 1 wouldn't
rail any man with whiskers Oeorgte,'
like a little boy.
'Walt until you grow up," admonish
ed Ha My. "But, .see here, Peterkln. 1
know Mr. Torre Df very well. Per
naps 1 can beg you off If you promise
to keep out of his love affairs In fa
in re."
'You Just bet 1 will!" declared T.C.
with nnctlou. "Lovers nre funny peo
ple. There's Nell Just crying her eyes
out because you carry some other
girl's picture In your watch."
"What do you know about that pic
ture?" asked Hardy tensely, "Did you
tell Nell about that?"
"1 saw It one day when you left
your watch on the desk," explained T.
C. "I didn't tell Nell. I Just said II
waa funny that you bad another girls
picture In your watch when Nell's new
pictures are so much prettier.'
Hard j aoraqff tip from his desk and
set T. C. upon tier feet.
"Iaok here, Peterkln," he proposed.
"You take this dime and find a place
where you can get ke cream soda.
lon't l lu too much of a hurry to
drink It. Better get two. Meantime
I'll slip over to the bouse and sort of
prepare them for the news that you
are exelled."
T. 1. gurgled a delighted assent, and
presently they emerged from the office
building, and T. C. went tapping
a I ou g to tbe candy store, while Jack
made for tbe Weetervelt home.
Nell was sitting on tbe shade plaxza
as he canie up tbe path. As sbe saw
him she rose to ber feet, but It was
too late for a graceful retreat. He
sprang up tbe steps and caught ber
hand.
"lont go In. he pleaded. "Let's alt
out here. It Is more pleasant."
"Shall I cu II fat her?' she asked
"He In In the library."
"1 hpe to see bliu before I go.' de
clared Hardy meaningly. "Hut first I
want to ieak to you."
Nell flushed at the suggestion, but
she resumed ber place In the rocker,
and Jack drew a chair to her side.
"When 1 linked you to inurry uie you
said something about auother girl," be
began, plunging directly Into the sub
ject. "At the time 1 sunpectcd that
T. '. might be able to explain the al
lusion, but I did not dare question her
too closely lest I give forth more In
formation than I obtained. Hhe let U
out today. Was It because of that oth
er girl in my watch that you refused
roe. Nell?"
"No woman cares to be counted sec
ond Itest," was the defensive reply.
"Have you changed the photograph
again?"
I have not changed." he suld slowly,
"but 1 want you to see It."
He held the watch toward her with
the back case open. She saw the like
ness of a gentle faced woman who
some bow suggested an earlier period In
spite of the modern photography. Si
lently she passed It back to Hardy and
waited for an explanation.
"This Is my father's watch. he be
gan. "The picture Is that of my moth
er. When sbe died we bad only an old
painting of her. Father bad It copied,
and they made a splendid job of It.
That Is why 1 have another woman's
picture In my case. Wben you spoke
of the other woman I could not know
that Sully bad been investigating my
watch, tihe found it on my desk one
day. I just learned this and understood
your feeling of resentment."
"I supposed that you knew and bod
no explanation to offer.
"And you will give me another an
swer now?" he asked as he gained pos
session of her band.
An hour later a freckled face thrust
Itself above the hedge of the Wester
velt lawn; then, seeing Hardy on the
piazza. T. C. came boldly forward.
"Did you fix It, Jack?" she demand
ed. Hardy blushed.
"1 was fixing auother of your
scrapes," he explained. "Nell. Peterkln
has been expelled from school, but I
have promised to see Torrance In ber
behalf. Meanwhile I have promised
that she will not be scolded.'
"I couldn't scold her this afternoon,"
said Nell as he gathered ber trouble
some little slater to ber breast. "You
make a great deal of trouble for people,
T. C, sometimes, but then again you
set them right"
"I'm not to blame that there Isn't
any stopper to my brain,' was the ag
grieved explanation. "Jack knows that.
That's why he fixed things for me all
right.'
"You're a dear," said Nell and Jack
In chorus, and for once the town crier
bad the comfortable feeling that sbe
was appreciated.
Going to School In Burma.
Shortly after tbe native college was
opened at Knugoon tbe bead, tbe Rev.
Dr. Marks, says In the Church Family
Paper that the king of Burma came to
him and asked If he would t-u-n some
of his sons. Wben he agreed the king
asked, "What ages do you like them
at?"
"From twelve to fourteen."
The king turned to one of his as
sistants sud commanded:
"Bring all my sons between twelve
and fourteen to me."
Nine prluces came in.
Four came to school the next day.
each riding on an elephant and with
two golden umbrellas. Each also was
escorted by forty soldiers. Afterward
the whole nine came, so there were
nine princes, nine elephants, eighteen
golden umbrellas and 3tW soldiers.
Unlike Mary's In tub. Dr. Marks says,
tbe elephants stayed outside, but wben
the princes came Into the schoolroom
all the other boys threw themselves
flat down with their faces to the
ground. It was forblddeu for auy one
(o stand or sit In the presence of
princes.
Dr. Marks found this state of things
very Inconvenient and put the matter
to the princes. Tbey talked the situa
tion over and made up their mluds
what to do.
"You fellows may get up.' one of the
princes said. "You need not be fright
ened."
"After that.' says Dr. Marks, "we
had very little difficulty ob tbe score of
etiquette."

PORTLAND, Aug. 10. As the re
sult of an Investigation made by Pa
trolman Wullbrook, the sensational
yarn related to the police last lues
day by G. F. Fitzgerald, residing at
WUUs boulevard and Flske street,
to the effect that he had been bru
tally assaulted lu his own homo by
a darlnjg burglar, turns out to be an
at solute canard.
In a report filed with Chief .iiitz-
ntacher. Patrolman Wellbrool; states
that Instead of having been sl-igi.ed
by a housebreaker, Fltzgera'd sus
tained his Injuries at the banc's of a
ycung heart-breaker, who wai court
ing his daughter.
The policeman declares that his in
vestigation shows that Flfgerald
etime upon Miss Fitzgerald, holding
a clandestine meeting In the parlor
with her sweetheart, at an unseemly
four, and promptly proceeded lo
chastise the amorous swain. The
young man, contrary to the jenem)
rule, was not afraid of pa's warth
and landed several short-arm jolts on
Fltz's Jaw. In order to explain away
the manner In which he received the
bumps and contusions, It was but
natural for the humiliated parent to
invent the burglar story.
NEW EMERGENCY NOTES.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 11.
I The treasury officials are making
I satisfactory nroernsH in eat tin it nut
j emergency notes under tbe circula
. tion act passed at the last session of
j congress. Acting Secretary Coolidge
.said today that the bureau of en grav
ing and printing, under the direction
of Superintendent Ralph, is deliver
ing to the treasury from $2,000,000
I to $3,500,000 In the new currency
t daily, and that by the middle of Sep
tember fully $100,000 would be
ready for delivery to the banks on
j call. It is expectetd tnat by the time
congress meets In December the
whole $",00,000,000 authorized will
be printed and ready for distribu
tion. Up to this time only one emer
gency currency association has been
formed under the new currency law.
The banks In the District of Colum
bia had their articles of association
approved by the secretary of the
treasury some weeks ago, but the
banks In New York and other finan
cial centers are not disposed to fully
commit themselves pending a deter
mination of the question whether a
bank joining an association can
withdraw from It after complying
with all the requirements of the law.
The treasury officials regard this
question as purely academic, but
they have the matter under consid
eration. WELLMAN STILL DREAMING.
NEW YOROK. Aug. 11. Walter
Wellman, who recently planned a
trip to the North Pole In a dirigible
balloon, said last nlgnt that he was
planning to make tbe attempt next
year. He said his airship, tbe Am
erica, built for Polar atmospheric
conditions, could as easily travel
from New York to Buffalo, Detroit
or even Chicago.
"It Is, Mr. Wellman said, "the
second largest airship ever built, Its
260,000 cubic feet being exceeded
only by the Zeppelin. But in fuel
conveying capacity and radius of ac
tion, the America axceeds the Zeppe
lin. As In the latter ship, a large
proportion of lifting force Is ab
sorbed In raising the machine Itself.
The total lifting power of my airship
is 19,500 pounds. In this country
where guide roping is impracticable
and greater variations or tempera
ture In a given short period must be
reckoned with, I see no reason why
the America should not remain 50 to
60 hours In the air and make a voy
age of a thousand miles, carrying
five tons of crew, fuel, etc., provid
ing the weather conditions were not
too unfavorable."
Mr. Wellman said ho expected to
bring the America to this country
in the full. It is now being put In
order In Paris by his engineer.

CORKY MAY ECONOMIZE.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Conslde
iiA himself "stung" for the reason
that In spite of the vast amunt of
money which both he and his wlfe
formerly the dancer, Mabel GUlman,
have spent in an effort to break Into
society spelled with the big "S." both
In New York and London. William E.
Corey, head of the steel trust, has
decided to economize and to give up
the Idea of either he or his wife be
coming a menber of the "400."
This information comes from sev
eral . Corey's Intimate business asso
ciates to whom he has confided bis
troubles along this line. It Is further
stated that the stel king has placed
bis wife's monthly allowance at $20,
000. From this amount she must
ptn-' liase hr c'otfaes and pay all outside-entertaining.
Houseuold and
traveling expenses will be paid by
all 111,
There are seemingly well founded
rumors afloat that now that Corey Is
passing Into the sere and yellow that
he Is beginning to believe that the
light that lies In a woman's eyes "and
lies and lies" Is not the only thing
which leads toward happiness, but
that In the .ong run the mother of his
children ana the companionship of
the children themselves Is to be pre
ferred. There Is, therefore, some
reason for the talk that he may "away
with the new love and on with the
old."

Mr. Garrison, who fired upon Wil
