Retaliation
By WILLIAM CHAMBERLIN
I've heard a story about a certain
orator that will bear repeating. They
say that when he was in college be
was a member of a debating society
and was on a debating team chosen to
meet a team from another college for
the intercollegiate championship.
When this young man came home
on vacations he was used to spending
a good deal of bis time with a girl who
lived in the adjoining place to bis fa
ther's. Both places were in the coun
try, with large grounds about them.
The college boy used to go out in the
rear of his home and practice elocu
tion. When he was not practicing elo
cutlon he was talking soft to the girl
next door. Young fellows of that pe
riod iu life, especially collegians, don't
mean anything when they spoon with
a girl, and the governor we'll call
him the governor, since he afterward
became the chief executive of one of
the United States-dldn't mean any
more than other boys of lis age who
pretend to be in love.
One aftsrnoon the governor was go
ing back to college the next day for
his senior year Grace from her win
dow siiw hlin orating In a wood at the
back of his home. She could see his
gestures, but could not hear a word he
said, not even a sound. Any one who
has thus seen a person addressing an
audience must have been impressed
with the absurd appearance he pre
sented. A smile came over the girl's
face, which suddenly gave place to the
expression of an idea having entered
her brain. Going to a telephone, she
took down the receiver and called a
number.
"Is this the county Insane asylum?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"I think one of your patients must
have escaped. At any rate, there is a
young man back of the house next to
this who is talking to himself and lllug
lng his arms about wildly."
The person at the usylum took down
the address and hurried away.
Not ten minutes had elapsed before
a couple of men In a buggy, with tlio
letters M. C. A. S. painted on the
side, drew up in front of the governor's
home ami, passing through the
grounds, saw the governor in the po
sition that had been described to them.
Walking slowly uud carelessly toward
him so as hot to excite his suspicion
of their intent, lis soon as they came
near enough to hlni they sprang for
ward and pinioned his arms. Of course
he was greatly astonished, usked a
lot of (itiestlous nnd made many pro
tests. The men paid no attention to
either, but, one at each of his arms,
walked hlni through the grounds to
the road whore the buggy stood.
Now, It happened that's what Grace
said, It happened that she was looking
out of her window as the prisoner wns
walked by in the adjoining lot. When
they cume opposite her she called out:
"What's he been doing?"
"Loony," replied ono of the captors.
This was the (lrst the governor knew
of the reason for his arrest. The cause
of his being considered a lunatic dawn
ed upon 111 in at the Name tiuie.
."Really, gentlemen," he said, trying
to laugh, "this Is very funny. Gruee.
explain, please."
What did Grace do but withdraw
from the window without a word. The
governor looked at her, first with as
tonishment, then with anger, then with
terror. lie wns hustled to the buggy,
placed between the two men and driv
en away.
Before they reached the nsyluin
Grace had got out a pony cart and
driven there herself by a shorter route.
At the otllco Bhe informed the man on
duly that she was the person who had
telephoned about the maniac next door
and had conio to tell them about him.
A few minutes later the two asylum
men with the governor drove up and
entered n waiting room, Presently
Grnco came in, raised a pair of glasses,
through which sho stared at the pris
oner, then dropped them and said:
"All right; that's the man."
"Grace," cried the governor, "for
heaven's sake, what does this menu?"
But Urace wniuoa away, evidently
not inclined to argue with a madman.
As soon as she wns outside, however,
she told the keepers that she was quite
sure the man was harmless Indeed,
she regretted having caused his cap
ture and, after considerable vouching
for bis being merely queer, persuaded
the authorities to release him. agreeing
to drive him home in her cart.
The governor wns put in the cart
by his captors, looking by this time
positively dangerous. Not a word was
spoken till the pony had pattered his
little hoofs on the stones for half a
mile.
"I presume," unid the governor, "that
you think you have done something
very smart"
"I'm sorry. Forgive me."
There was no sorrow In her tone and
no plendlng In her request to be for
given What was said during the rest of the
drive home was never revealed. The
governor left the "next day for college
with n flea in his ear It breaks a
man up to he beaten by a woman, and
the governor at the Christmas holidays
went home ready to bend the knee
to the girl who. us he expressed It, had
wiped the tloor with him.
Slip sent lilin hiicl; much more of a
lunatic than he bad been' when arrest
ed, but nftci he gut his profession re
lented and married hlni. Hp now says
that bis wife, not he. Is the governor.
nnd. whether or lint she governs the
stiite. she governs the governor.

Around Your Farm And Quit Worrying
Once your fields are all enclosed with Peerless Fencing and
Gates, your fence troubles are over for a long time to come.
are sure to find vour animals where vou want them and will

Peerless Gates
Your money will go further and you
will get better results with Peerless fence.
It costs less per rod than other hit;h crude
fences nnd as it is made of the best grade
of Open Hearth Steel Wire it is free from
defects and gives long service. It is heavily
galvanized by a special process insuring
against rust. The Peerless one-piece crossbar
prevents animals crowding it down from the
1 and pu.ihing through at IV.e bottom. The
putented non-slip knot holds the wire in place nt
I times. Line wires carefully coiled to take care
i' expansion and contraction.
Very few furmers can afford board gates in this
age of high price of timber. Peerless steel gates
are not only cheaper but they look better and are
easici to handle. Heavy tubing frames, filled with
special galvanized wire, insures long life. Every
part of every Peerless gate is heavily galvanized
to prevent rust.
