of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
For years I was troubled with kid

I tried several patent remedies and at

The water-proofing of cloth, so uhi-
versa! today, was unknown twenty-
five years ago. In 1890, Thomas Fearn-
ly ’ 'ey. of Bedford, took out the first
patent for the process known as “era-
venettu." He got the idea from an ac
cident in a Yorkshire dye house. Cer
tain materials had been wrongly dyed
and the workmen were directed to
wash out the surplus logwood color
with alum. After the material had
been dried the improvement was so
marked that the dyer ordered a repe
tition of the alum washing. The cloth
was sent to the wetttng machtne, but
the workmen found that they could
not wet it It prosed through the wa
ter and came out dry. Thus was
the discovery made that cloth could be
water-proof and yet remain porous
The process used today is as follows:

“No, tnde«Hi," Jean corrected. *he

“How do you tfaln in a room?"
Stover asked her.
“Why. »you—just train, I suppose."
Miss Chapin turned to Glass. “How
does a person train In a room?”
“Why, he—just trains, that’s all. A
guy can't train without trainin' quar
ters, can he?"
“We thought It would make a nice
gymnasium.” offered Miss Blake.
“Looks like business.” Stover's ad
miration was keen. "I rode over to
Gallagher's place last night-and laid
our beta."
“How much have you wagered?"
asked Fresno.
"More'n we can afford to lose."
"But you aren’t going to lose," Miss
Blake said, enthusiastically.
"I got Gallagher to play some rec

Fresno spoke sympathetically.
"It's a fortunate thing for you fel

I’m anxious for him to beat this cook,
and I hate to see him so careless with
bls training."
"Careless!" cried Helen.
“What’s he done?" Inquired Stover
"Nothing, so far. That's the trouble.
He's sure he can win. but"—Fresno
shook his head, doubtfully—"there's
such a thing as overconfidence. No
matter how good a man may be, he
should take care of himself."
"What's wrong with his trainin'?”
demanded Glass.
“I think he ought to have more rest.
It’s too noisy around the house; he
can’t get enough sleep.”
“Nor anybody else,” agreed Glass,
meaningly; “there's too much singln'.”
"That's funny," said Stover. "Music

“We can’t afford to spoil Speed's
chances,” argued the young man.
"There is too much at stake. Am I
right, Mr. Glass?"
Now, like most fat men, Lawrence
Glass was fond of his rest, and since
his arrival at the Flying Heart his
sleeping-hours had been shortened con
siderably, so for once he agreed with
the Californian.
“No question about It,” said he.
"And I’ll sleep here with him if you’ll
put a couple of cots in the place.”
"But suppose Mr. Speed won’t do
It?" questioned Miss Blake.
"You ask him, and he won’t refuse,"
said Jean.
"We don't want to see him defeat
ed,” urged Helen’s other suitor; at
which the girl rose, saying doubtfully:
"Of course I'll do my beat, if you
think it's really Important"
“Thank you,” said Stover gratefully,
while Fresno congratulated himself
upon an eaify victory.
The two girls took Speed's trainer
with them, and went forth in search of
the young man.
“It's up to you fellows to see that he
gets to bed early,“ said Frceuo, when
be and Stover were alone.
“I^ave II to us. And as for gettln'
up, we turn out at daylight. I don't
reckon he could sleep none after that
if he tried.” Stover pointed to the
striped elastic colls of the exerciser
against the wall. "I didn't want to
speak about It while they was here,"
■aid he, "but one of them young ladles
lost her garters."
“That's not a pair of garters, that's
a chest weight.”
“Jest wait for what?”
“Chest-weight—cheat-developer."
“Oh!" Stover examined the device
curiously. “I thought a chest develop
er came In a bottle."
Fresno explained the operation of
the apparatus, at which the cowman
remarked, admiringly:
"That young feller la all right, ain't
he?"
"Think so?”
"Sure! Don't you?"
Fresno explained bls doubts by a
crafty lift of bls brows and a shrug.
1 thought so at first."
Stover wheeled upon him abruptly
"What's wrong?”
“Oh, nothing.”
After a pause the foreman remarked,
vaguely: "He’s the lntercolieglt cham
peen of Yale."
“Oh no, hardly that, or
I would
have heard of him.”
"Ain't he no champeen?”
"Champion of the running broad
smile and the half-mile talk perhaps."
"Ain’t he a foot runner?”
"Perhaps. I've never seen him run,
but I have my doubts.”
"Good Lord!" moaned Stover, weak
ly-
"He may be the best sprinter in the
country, mind you. but I'll lay a little
bet that he can't run a hundred yards
without sustenance."
"Without what?”
“Sustenance—something to eat.”
"Well, wo’ve got plenty for him to
eat.” sab) the mystified foreman.
“You don't understand. However,
time will tell."
"But we ain't got no time. We've
made this race 'pay or play,’ a week
from Saturday, and the beta are down.
We was afraid the Centipede would
welsh when they seen who we had, so
we framed it that way. What's to be
done?"
Again Fresno displayed an artistic
restraint that was admirable. “It's
none of my business." said he, with a
careless shrug.
"I—I guess I'll tell Willie and the
boys,” vouchsafed Bill apprehensively.
"No! no! Don't breathe a wdrd
I've said to you. He may be a cracker
jack, and I wouldn't do him an Injus
tice for the world. All the same, I
wish he hadn't broken my stop-watch.”
“D* you think he broke it a-pur-
pose?"
"What do you think?"
Stover mopped the sweat from his
brow.
"Can't we time him with a ordinary
watch?”
“8ure. We can take yours. It won’t
be exact, but—”
"I ain't got no watch. I bet mine
last night at the Centipede. Willie's
got one, though.”
"Mind you, be may be all right,"
Fresno repeated, reassuringly; then
hearing the object of their discussion
approaching with his trainer, the two
strolled out through the bunkroom,
Stover a prey to a new-born suspicion,
Fresno musing to himself that diplo
macy was not a lost art.
“You're a fine friend, you are!”
Speed exploded, when he and Glass
were inside the gymnasium. “What
made you say 'yes?”’
"I had to."
“Rot, Larry!
You played Into
Fresno’s hands deliberately! Now I've
got to spend my evenings In bed while
be alts in the hammock and sings
'Dearie.'" He shook his head gloomily.
"Who knows what may happen?"
"It will do you good to get some
sleep, Wally.”
"But I don’t want to sleep!” cried
the exasperated suitor. “I want to
make love. Do you think I came all
the way from New York to sleep? I
can do that at Yale.”
"Take it from me, Bo, you’ve got
plenty of time to win that dame. Eight
hours is a workln' day anywhere.”
Glass chuckled. "The whole thing la
a hit. Look at this joint, for instance.”
He took in their surroundings with a
comprehensive gesture. "It looks about
as much like a gymnasium as I look
like a contortionist Why don’t you
get a Morris chair and a mandolin?"
"There are two reasons,” said Speed,
facetiously. "First, It takes an athlete
to get out o* ' Morris chair; and, sec
ond, a mandolin has proved to ba
many a young niiin'i ruin.”
Glass examinad the bow of .
upon the lonssoin« piece of exercising
apparatua.
“It looks like the tralntn’-stable for
the Colonial Cantea. What a yelp this
place would be to Covington or any
other athlete.”
"It la not an athletic gymnasium.**
Speed smiled as he lighted a cigarette.
"It Is a romantic gymnasium. As

would not permit It. Once outside,
however, he exclaimed: "That's more

"There's other watches on the farm.”
"Buy them all, and bring me the

Before Betting out on his dally

ground that the day was too sultry,
his employer would have none of It,
