CORTHELL'S
I HEALTH CURE.
By W. r. BRYAN
Oopyrighlwl, WOT, by C. U. Sutcliffe.
Cortholl strode along briskly. The
fcknir morning air, the bright auutight
md the fertile fields bordering on the
toad were til a source of delight to
fcini.
Not In years haj ha enjoyed a meal
u much as he had the homely break
Cast provided at the' little country ho
tel where he had put up the night be
tore and where he had left the trunk
Chat held his city clothes. Now In a
SMI worn suit he was tramping along
the dusty road with much the same
feeling as that enjoyed by a boy who
plays hookey from school for the first
Bine.
In years Cortholl had not felt justi
fied In taking a vacation. Finally
through a ., combination of circum
stances he bad been able to get to
gether some capital, and by unremitting-
effort thlw bad been doubled and
trebled Into the fortune that made him
prominent In the money market
Then came the breakdown. The fa
tuous specialist In nervous diseases
Insisted upon a vacation. "Ifa either
ft few weeks' vacation or years In an
Insane asylum," he said bluntly. 'You
know best which yon want Make
your own choice."
In the end Corthell bad capitulated
and bad suggested Newport as the
alace for a vacation. The specialist
rgarded him with disgust
T think I should have saved time by
ending you to the asylum first," be
aid. He was paid $25 for a consulta
tion and could afford to say what he
pleased. "Yon get an old suit and a
tomfortable pair of shoes and take a
iwalklng tour. Don't go to any place
"There yon are liable to meet friends.
I know Just the route. I will send yon
ft road map." '
He bowed Corthell out Three days
later the broker . was set down In a
tiny hamlet In the northern part of
the state, and this wss the first day of
bis trip. .
He had stopped to watch some men
fcaylng. when one of them came to
ward him.
"Looking for a JobT he demanded.
Corthell laughed. "I don't know that
I am," he answered. "I was going
farther on."
TU give a dollar and a half a day
to drive one of the rakes," be offered.
"Know how to drive?"
Corthell smiled. Ills team of bays
tad a down blue ribbons to their .
fcredlt -
"I can drive some," he, admitted.
"Jump up and drive that rake then,"
svas the man's curt answer, and, to
"3 BL'I'POBE I SHALL HE THBOCGH EI TifE
KND OP THK WEKK," hAlD HE.
bis surprise, Corthell found himself
climbing the fence and moving toward
the horse rake.
It seemed ages since he had per
formed similar services on his father's
ftirni. The bony horse he was driving
bore little resemblance to bis own
prize winners, but be derived more
reiul pleasure from the task than had
ever come from a spin along the boule
fvsrd. He was surprised at the flight
Of time when the horn blew for dinner.
He was still more su prised at the
appetite he had for the pork and pota
toes that formed the menu. He ac
cepted two helpings and still bad room
for a generous cut of the green apple
pie.
In the afternoon he was expected to
ttelp pitch the sweet scented hay upon
tbe cart. He worked until the mus
cles of hla back were sore and smurt
fn, but gave no sign of his distress,
only worked away with clinched teeth.
iWlien at last the men knocked off and
tna final loud started to the barn he
hcived a slgb of relief.
Most of tho men were from nearby
f firms, and these were paid off and
gt irted for their own homes. Corthell
w:is the last of the line, and the farm
er paused.
"I won't take anything off for the
tf u'ie before you came," he said.
'Want to stay on till hayin's over?"
f Corthell nodded.
M guess I will," he agreed. "Work
aeems to agree with me."
"Come on up to supper," ordered the
farmer. "I guess mother can fix you
Bp with a place over the wood shed."
j Corthell followed his grim enployer
across the fields, wondering what his
town associates would say could they
know that bo had hired out for a dol
lar and a half a day. '
There, Were ouly three of the men at
supper, and Mrs. Hinder, with her
daughter It nth. sat down to the table
with them. Ruth hnd been busy In
the kitchen during the noou meal,
while her mother had served. At
sight of her Cortholl was more than
ever glad he had taken the Job. "
Kuth reminded him of the tittle girl
who had boon his first boyish sweet
heart. She had tiled lust after be had
gone to the city, aud in the absorp
tion of business be had come to divide
women nto two elassos stenographers
and scrubwomen. Fe the first time
In years he felt more than a passing
Interest In a woman, aud when he and
Kuth sat on the stops he rested bis
tired body against the ratling and chat
ted until bedtime.
Ruth, he learned, taught school in
winter, and, further, she was a gradu
ate of a well known woman's college.
She, on her side, recognized In him a
person better educated than the other
farm hands and plainly showed her
Interest. '
The next few days Corthell tolled
from daybreak to sundown for the
sake of those quiet evenings in the
summer dusk, and love grew rapidly In
their hearts.
Each found In the other traits to
admire, and Corthell watched with
dread the progress of the harvest, in
a few days only the regular hired man
would be needed, and this kuowledge
gave Corthell courage to speak.
They were leaning over the top rail
of the fence that lay beside the road.
Mrs. Binder, who was the organist at
the village church, was practicing the
Sunday music at the cheap organ 1m
the parlor. ' The oil Ja miliar hymns
were softened by distance and roused
in Corthell a flood of memorloj, - '
' '1 suppose I shall be through by the
end of the Week," said he. -Will you
be sorry 7
"You know that" she said simply.
"I shall be very sorry. Will your
"I hope I shall not have to be very
sorry," he whispered. "I hope to carry
with me your promise that I may come
for you again. Will you promise, dear?
I know I am almost a stranger, but I
love you, sweetheart Can you trust
me?"
"I do trust yon." she said. "When
you have made a home for me, come
for me.' Do not be discouraged If the
struggle is hard. I will wait panly
until you got a start, and then can i
fight the world together."
She put her band trustingly In his,
and the brown head and the one
whose black hair was slightly streaked
with gray drew together.
"Nice doings," snorted Hiram Bind
er, as he stepped forth from the shad
ows. "Haven't you more pride, Ruth,
than to fall in lore with a tramping
farm hand, and after all the education
I've given yon? Why. yon could mar
ry a man with a farm of his own." -
"I'd rather marry the man I love."
Ruth said stoutly. "I have told Will
that I will marry him when be can
make a home for me, and I mean it"
Binder blinked. Rnth had Inherited
from him the stubbornness that was
tradition in that part of the country,
and he knew that she meant what
she said.
"You'll have to wait for a long
time." he said with a sneer, as be
turned away to cover his defeat.
"He's got $2i comln to him to start
with."
"I think 1 can manage It," inter
rupted Corthell with a bnppy laugh.
"You see $24 added to about $100,000
makes about $100,024. I ought to be
able to start a home on that"
"You ain't that Corthell?" demanded
Binder with an emphasis that showed
that be read the papers. "What are
you doln' here?"
"Looking for health and a wife," he
answered, "and I've found both."
He watched his father-in-law-to-be
stump across the grass to the bouse,
j then he turned to the girl. "You don't
mind, do you, Ruth? It will not make
any difference will it?" ,'
"Not In my love," she answered sim
ply, "but I would rather have made
the fight with you."

THE GULF STREAM.
Its
Edges 8 Sharply Defined That
' ! They Are Visible.
That the edges of the gulf stream
are so sharply dciliied that they are
visible has beeu rejwrted on tunre than
one occasion. The phenomenon ws rw-
cently witnessed by Captain James
Homo ot the British- shfe Lbch Carry
on a recent trip from Australia to Roa-
ton. A writer In Shipping Illustrated
says: "TJio Loch Garry a few days be
fore arrival at Boston lay becalmed,
when a ripple on the' sea surface
aroused anticipation not of wind, as
was supposed, but of the clone proxim
ity of the mighty river to the ocean
known as tho gulf stream, Spars, lum
ber, a Ufa buoy aud other tjotssni were
borne past the shtp to the eastward at
the rate of about a couple of miles an
hour, yet the vessel herself remained
In the unaffected portion of the wean.
whlc"h served, as it were, as a bank for
the comparatively warm waters of the
river In ruldooeau.
, "One haxy night during the cv(I war
a blockade runner left Wilmington,
N. C, Intent on galnhig the open sea.
Next morning a federal paddle wheel
warship hove In sight not far distant
and at once bore down. The blockade
runner was within an ac of capture
wjjea suddenly her captain noticed
and fully recognized the gulf stream
rtppI.He edged her away to cross
the providential "Tipple without awak
ening suspicion in the minds' of the
pursuers, got into the favorable cur
rent While the paddle wheeler Was
Striving against the adverse current on
(he other side of the ripple and got
Clear away. " ' , ,
"A , Nantucket whaler, Captain Fol
ger, first pointed hut to Franklin that
me gulf stream was a decided ' factor
In the passsge maktug problem of
those sailing ship days. Rhode Island !
merchants had complained 'that the t
packets were longer tasking the trans-
adantlc passage than the ordinary car-
go carriers despite the fact that the I
latter followed a more clrcottous rontp.
Captain Foiger showed that, while the
gulf stream retarded the packet along j

Ancient Customs.
That ancient customs are still prac
ticed by primitive tribes Is shown by
the two following Incidents; In the
Iliad it Is written that when Askleplaa
"saw the wound where tho bitter ar
row had lighted he sucked out the
blood," end so forth. In his recent
work on the Australian aborigines
John Mathew Inform the reader, that
the doctor Or sacred man made a prac
tice of sucking the part' affected.
"There seems to be some efficacy In
the sucking, for a friend of mine who
was suffering severely from an lnvet
eratoly inflamed eye allowed a black
'doctor' to mouth the eyeball, and tbe
result of the treatment was immediate
relief and speedy cure."
