The account was prob ably more than balanced by one ability which he possessed in a remarkable degree the ability to return whatever he received favors, knocks, tips, no-matter-whuts and return with due and proper accumulation.

So it was that in the town of Edge more he was knwn by everyone, yet I doubt if a dozen could have told you what his initials "B. B." really stood for. The nickname "Boomerang" had so overshadowed any baptismal title, and seemed to fit the Initials so nicely, that "Iioomerang Smith" he was to all and sundry. People were continually saying what wonders he surely could accomplish In a big city, and Boomerang himself had often thought of experimenting, yet he was essentially a home-body, and Edgemore was his home and here he stayed. So he reread the letter and frowned again. Jo Bill in Kansas City and broke, and needing three hundred like the very mischief ! Hum ! Well Boomerang knew he didn't have three hundred to spare Just at that time, but Jo Bill well, Joseph William Snow had done him a favor he had forgot ten Just what, but that did not make any difference he had done him a fa vor, and it was now Boomerang's move. One more frown (a rrown on Boomerang's brow indicated deep thought) and then a smile! He had a scheme that might be worth trying- somewhat risky and might cause an awful lot of trouble for some people, including Jo Bill, but And then Boomerang remembered. That little favor Jo Bill had done him had been a favor all right in Its ulti mate result, but it had nearly put him In Jail meanwhile. He would return In like measure. "Like for like, plus'.' was his motto, and he grinned as he reached for a telegraph blank. SEALED TIGHT KEPT RIGHT England's "Wedding Ring."

KELLDGGS TASTELESS CASTOR OIL on the befogged but trusting mind of Joseph William, who spent the remain der of his time taking notes for future reference and without much fear of the outcome. Meanwhile, in the office of the chief of police, that official was pondering over a telegram. Before him was the copy of his message to the Joplln chief: "Am holding J. W. Snow for whom there is a reward in your city of five hundred dollars. Shall we take him there or will you come here for him?" In his hand was the reply : "Never heard of J. W. Snow. No reward here for him or anyone of similar name." The turnkey was immediately or dered to release Snow, who smiled pleasantly as he passed out. This was Sunday. Early Monday morning suit was Instituted against the telegraph company for violating the secrecy of a message committed to its care. In the trial It was proven that a code message to a Mr. J. W. Snow, shown to be a respected citizen of an other city, had evidently been inter preted literally by some clerk of the telegraph company (perhaps hoping to share In the reward mentioned) who had evidently Imparted to the police the information he thought was con tained therein; that, as a result, the aforesaid respected citizen had been subjected to the Indignity of spending a day in a cell in the city bustlle, and of having his picture heralded through out the land by the sensational press, that had made various and sundry guesses as to the crime for which the aforesaid was to be called to account. The attorney did full Justice to the situation. The defense sounded somewhat as though In need of nourishing food, or something else to strengthen and sus tain. The result was quite definite. As Jo Bill's pressing need had been for only three hundred, he thought somewhat of dividing with Boomerang Smith, but he was so Impressed by the picture the attorney had drawn of the indignities he had suffered, that, with a tear of sympathy for himself, he slipped the money In his pocket and faded away.

But In a cradle over there. For who has watched an opening rose Some country hedgerow under, Has seen its lovely lips unclose, Nor marveled at the wonder? But stranger than the woodland wild Is this, the blossoming of a child. And you who o'er the cradle bend. If you neglect your garden, Shall fall to nourish and defend. What God could ever pardon? A wonder He has given you, And yet a wealth of duty, too. For you must keep the weeds away. Each tempter that assails it, Must watch the blossom night and day With love that never falls it.

BEING NEIGHBORLY THOi tied HOSE attractive communities nes- here and there In quaint rustic- Test of Stage Skill. In 1707 a celebrated trial of skill was held between England's two great est actresses, Anne Old field and Anno Hracegirdle, both playing the same part on alternate nlghls. Mrs. Draco girdle lost, and in disgust left the stage. Thus it was that the telegraph oper ator In the city, sleepily transcribing uninteresting message after uninter esting message that is, uninteresting to him suddenly started wide-awake and reread the words he had Just written : Mr. J. W. Snow, 2235 Walnut Street, Kansas City. Hide out! Five hundred dollars reward for you In Joplin. Boom. The messenger boy who called at Snow's address an hour later did not carry a copy of this telegram, but simply a notice stating that there was a message for him at the main office and requesting him to call for same. Jo Bill did not know why this should be and neither did the boy. As a re sult, Jo Bill in due season arrived at the window of the main olllce and asked for his telegram. Another gentle man before the window glanced up at him ns he announced his name. The window clerk, also, seemed greatly Impressed and scanned him carefully before reaching Into the rack for the message. "Is your name J. W. Snow?" he in quired, still studying him closely as though seeking verification of the name in his face or garb. "It is," said Jo Bill, thinking that such formality must mean that Boom had telegraphed him some money, and his face lit up accordingly. "Do you live at 2235 Walnut street?" continued the clerk. "I cm staying there at present." Thereupon the clerk handed him the telegram which he began opening eagerly, but before he had read It the man who had been standing quietly by stepped up to him saying: "Come wjth me, Mr. Snow. You are under arrest." "What 1" Jo Bill nearly dropped the telegram. "What did you say?" "You are under arrest," and the man showed his badge to the astonished Jo Bill. "What for?" he demanded. "We'll see later as to that. At pres ent Just come down to the station with me." "Why, man, you are as wrong as wrong can be. You may want some Snow, but you don't want this one." "That may be, but It Ii not fur roe to decide, you know. I'm to take you to the station, and there Is no way of getting around that." "All right. Let me read my telegram first. I am looking for some money," saying which he opened the message. The shock of what he read there wa much greater than that when the offi cer had stated he was under arrest. But Just for an Instant.

Woman of Middle Age No Subject for Pity I was trying to be tactful as one does when speaklnj; of age to a middle aged woman but she looked at me with amusement. "My dear," she said, "both you and I know I shall never see forty again, and I am not In the least afraid ot saying. It, so you need not be." It was a new point of view to me, so I asked her to explain. "Oh, there are plenty of us If you know where to find us," she said. "We have our own good times, and the Joys of middle age are some that youth can never share." She pointed out that the middle aged woman has generally passed those disturbing partings of the ways: "Shall I marry?" "Shall I make a ca reer and develop my own Individu ality?" which are so hampering to youth. She sees the years ahead In some sort of ordered sequence, and In a great measure at her own command, for she knows what she wants now. and can make for It. The woman who does not mind look ing middle aged has another pleasure denied to youth ; she and her opinions are accentetd seriously by her friends and relations, and men folks are ready to seek her out In their troubles and Joys, for she can discuss, with a wom- n's quick wit and a sincere interest the subjects that they would never dream of exposing to Miss Twenty's hasty Judgment. The middle-aged woman If the only really emancipated one, for she can travel alone, live alone and work alone, without the complications that beset youth, however defiant or determined it may be. She can afford to go her own way without fear, and Is like one who lias battled all day with the forces of na ture and now returns home to find warm, quiet leisure to pursue her real Inclinations. Middle-aged women have many com pensations if they know where to look for them, and few of them would go back to those early twenties If they could, with their disturbing emotions and uncertain future.

"We won't have any waste," he said; "there Isn't a person In our party who won't do some Important duty In the new town." The English man pointed to an old snd feeble man with a bent back and a long, thin, white beard. "But that very old man there," he said; "he can't possibly be of any use to you, can her" "Oh, yes," said the leader; "we'll open our new cemetery with him." places, where the bees are humming, the wild grasses are waving in the passing breezes, and the tinkling of hellsflls heard in the purple pastures, tell a beautiful story of peace and con tent. Often far away from the clamorous haunts of mortals where gold Is god, driving, lashing, heaping burdens of care upon galled shoulders, stealing from life its sweetest delights, these little hamlets, when one comes unex pectedly upon them, seem to reflect the quietude that we Imagine exists among the courts of Heaven. A few scattering cots where every body Is neighborly, tell a story of friendliness and sodality of which the nations throughout the world seem quite unfamiliar. Being neighborly Is the simple secret of universal happiness, the panacea Of world ills, ruptures and revolts. Although the happy man feels very kindly toward others, others nst re ciprocate the feeling to get happiness all around, and this all around happi ness is available to everybody. Who does not catch something of the thrill of delight experienced by two lovers In the lime, loitering hand and hand? To them buttercups are as sweet us roses, the sky is always blue, the sun Is perpetually slunlng and the birds are singing for no one else. And so it is with the folk In the humble cots, contented with their stu tion in life, pouring praises each day from their hearts which seldom find utterance In words, but stir their souls to sublime emotions. We may be highly meritorious, we may have the power of a king, the learning of a Mecaeuas. the wealth of the Indies, but If we ure not neighbor ly we cannot be happy, at peace with others, or escape wrangles, wars of words and murderous arms. If nelghborllness does not come out l In our behavior toward one another, there Is within the soul an unfriendly sentiment, In spite of our affected smiles and assumed good manners. When once the high places of the world decide to be neighborly and put their decision into actual practice there will be no more "rumbling of caissons and guns," no more killing of brothers and wanton waste of price less treasures, impoverishing peoples for ages.
