Halpli was "doing business" In Wall Street and making money. He and Helen were In love very much In love and It did nut seem to them that there was any gentie In the opposition they en countered from old Caleb. Hut Caleb and Rulpli belonged to two different camps In 'The Street." Caleb was a conservative of the conservatives, while Ralph was a "plunder." He was a guerrilla who hung on the out skirts of the great buttle, duiihlng In now and then at eminent peril of his financial life to capture some pretty rich booty. That young nmn Is all wrong In his business methods," said Caleb to his daughter, "and will some day come a cropper. I don t reel mat i snouia entrust your future to a man like him. If you must marry and leave your poor old father, marry some solid, subHtuntlal business mun not a fly- by-night " "Hut I love him. father." replied Helen.

ICnongh Chinese eggs are coming Into the United States annually to furnish approximately one dozen for every family. But the Chinese hen does not com pete with the American hen In supplying the eggs for the breakfast table. Of the 23,710,000 dozen coming In last year practically all were In the dried or frozen form, according to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. The American hen cannot be accused of loafing on the Job. In addition to furnishing all the eggs needed for American use, she produces a huge surplus for export. Last year this surplus amounted to 30,000,000 dozen 6,200,000 dozen more than were Imported. The American exports were largely eggs In the shell, which sell at higher prices than the frozen and dried eggs from China. . . .. , . In 1014, Just a decade ago, there were 10,000,000 dozen Chinese eggs Im ported. By 1918 the Imports totaled 82,400,000 dozen, and In 1920 the nupber had climbed to 71,000,000 dozen. In 1922, the year the tariff went Into effect, only 25,827,000 dozen were imported. Last year the number was still further reduced, with only 23,710,000 dosen coming In. Present prices are not especially attractive to Imports. The demand is for strictly high quality eggs, the production of which for the horn nark'etg the American ben monopolises. mm I led!1 are CT friend knew, 'ffie -g 9 youor lie think I am going to sup port o son-ln law who cun't make his own living, you are much mistaken." "Itut, fatlier, he Is making money." "lie won't be long." That ended the conversation for that day, but there were many others to the same effect, and always end lug In the same way Caleb stubborn In his objections and Helen resolute In her love. And Kalph was making money. He and Helen used to sit Ingether and lie would reel off a mov ing picture of his Bnam lul dreams to her, the climax always being his pos- eaalon of a alL'tintlc fortune. The Ann I picture was always of Helen and Hnlph receiving the paternal blessing, and Caleb confessing, with tears In his eyes, that his son-ln law was a greater financier than he was. Both Helen and Ralph thoroughly believed In these pictures. The old man wss all very well In his wsy, and In his time, but a new system and a new spirit had come over the modern fi nancial world. Caleb wns not at all competent to grapple with the Im mediate monetary Questions of the day. "I could have shown your father where he could have made a hundred thousand dollars In (he V. B. Q. deal." said Kalph In one of these confidential conversations, "but he wouldn't listen to me." Caleb would not let Ralph talk fi nance with him at all would not let him even mention the "market" was scarcely civil to him upon any sub ject. It was very distressing for Helen this antagoulsm between her father and her lover but Ralph did not mind It. So much greater would be his triumph when he should "show the old man."

Adding that he saw nothing but long years of toll and poverty before him, years Into which he could not drag h"r. "I don't see It that way," re plied Helen; "father has enough money for all or us." It was in vinn that Ralph tried to explain. Helen declared that ir he really loved tier lie would marry her anyway, and resort ed to tears and hysterics. But Kalph was adamant and went away with a breaking heart, but at the same time, with the reeling that he had done wha honor demanded. Caleb came In soon arter Ralph's departure and found bis daughter In a most distress ing condition. She told him of her interview with Ralph. "Bo he wouldn't marry you because he has lost his money?" said the old man. "Well. 1 told you he was going to lose It. Now what do you think of your wonderful young Napoleon of Wall Street?" "1 think he Is Just as meim as he can be," sobbed Helen. "If he really loved me he would marry me wheth er he had any money or not." "You think so, do your snapped Caleb. "Well, I don't." Two hours after his Interview with his daughter old Caleb entered tne office of Ralph and found Mint young man going over plies of papers search ing for some floating spar out of the wreck and finding none, Well, young man," said Caleb, "so you came a cropper, did you? I told jrou you would. Now what do you think of your dashing business meth ods?" "I don't think much of them, Mr. Shnderaon," replied Ralph meekly. "And what dfi you think of miner asked Caleb. "I think they are safer and bet ter," was the reply. "And so you wont marry my daughter?" "Not under the present circum stances.'' "Good for you. You have learned your leHson, I see, and have met the situation like an honorable man. Now, to tell the truth, some of your Ideas were not bad. Only you carried them to extremes. I don't mind admitting that a little more pep In my business might Improve It. So 1 will take you In as my partner if you will take Helen on as yours. Is It a guT i It was. ' Small Dora Had the Bible as Authority Dora one morning refused to get up, When all other means had failed to coax her out of bed, her uncle, a very distinguished man of great learning, was called. "Why won't you get up, my child r he asked. ?Vhy, Uncle Henry, didn't you tell me to do whnt the Bible says?" "Yes certainly." "Well, the Bilrte doesn't believe In early rising: It says it's a waste. of time." Now the uncle is something of an authority on the Bible, but he was rot eiiual to Dora. For once in his life he was nonplussed. "You listen, then," went on the child, In reply to his exclamation of aston Lslunent ; and, opening her Bible, .he read the second verse of the 127th Psalm with great emphasis: "It Is vain for you to rise up early." Kan- sua City Star. Giant Among Birdt About 1838 some missionaries to New Zealand learned from the weird tulaa nt tlin nnttvpa that In nni-lont times there had existed huge birds, much larger than men, in all parts of the Island, says the Detroit News. They had, however, all been killed ex cept one which had the head of a man and a special bodyguard, If na tive lore be accepted. Some . adventurous whalers were taken out one night to see this bird, which they Intended to shoot. They saw it, so they said, but were afraid to shoot. A piece of bone, supposed to be long to a moa, was sent to Europe and fell Into the hands of Richard Owen, the grcut English anatomist. Although there wns less than six Inches of It, Owen announced that it was from the leg of a bird bigger and more sluggish than an ostrich, which had lived land. at sometime In New Zea- Out of Print 1 "I have a friend who wrote a book of versea charming book the stock of which lay for years with small sign of diminution on the publisher's shelves.

Spot to Be Avoided A south Idaho farmer had three eligible daughters. The flmt married and removed to Twin Fallx, Idaho. After a time the old gentleman was Informed he was grandfather to twins. Later another of his daughters mar ried and removed to Three Creek, Idaho. When the old man learned his Three Creek daughter was the mother of triplets he began to lean to super stition. His third daughter then advised him of her engagement, telling her father after the ceremony of her Intention to remove from the home town, where uixin the fond parent cleared his throat and remarked.

It Is the pressure of gas coming out of the kettle that makes It sing. When the water bolls vapor forces Its way out of the spout. The kettle trembles, sending vibrations that make your ear tremble. When yon speak or sing yon nearly close your throat. Air from your lungs Is squeezed through a small opening. The pressure of air sets the vocal cords trembling. Thus the song of the teakettle and the voice are the result of similar causes. i i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n ! MAKING GOOD IN A, SMALL TOWN Real Storiet About Real Cirli By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN I I I I I 1 I I 1 I I 1 I I I I K 1 I I I I I I T "KIDNAPING" WITH A CAMERA UrjnO THE 'Main Street girl' who JL wants to make money selling pic tures of her own taking, her camera is Just as constantly Indispensable as Is his eternal notebook to a Journalist." My informant was an athletic-looking girl, who, following her own ad vice, was carrying her camera and stopping at intervals to decide If that were Just the view she wanted. "She would never be without itj for If she makes an exception to the rule sometimes when she goes for a sroll in the woods or a drive along tjie country rouds, she is sure to see Just tue picture she would like to have," the girl went on. "lou see, I can sell any artistic scenes I can get to the city newspapers and to niaga slnes. The publications devoted to outdoor sports, gardening, farming. science and physical culture are the 1 best markets. The more unusual the scenes are, the more money they bring. 1 1 can always sell freak pictures to newspapers a glnnt squash, or a po tato that has 'the President's fuce' on it." j Her market is at home as well as abroad. The farmer who owns a fine horse or cow,, or who has built a new home may be a customer ; he may like a view of the field hands harvesting a bumper crop. Or perhaps the local real estate man wants a photograph taken on some farm he handles; some times railroad companies use her farm views. i Selling the home town views to for mer residents Is one of the best meth ods by which the camera-gtrl may sell her pictures. The boy away at col lege would like a view of the old high school building, or of the baseball dia mond or the football field. The girl at "finishing school" might like a view of the high school building, too. Other absent townspeople will be Interested in the scenes which have the most sentimental appeal to them. A blrd'i eye view of the town will Interest them. The camera-girl would have to do most of this type of her business by mall. Special orders, such as for pictures of stock for advertised sales may be another chance for the camera-girl. She should have her eye "peeled" for every picture with a gripping hu man Interest. The saucy little screw- ' tailed pigs, the bird nest full of wide- ; open little bills, should not escape her camera. She should be what is known ! ns a "kidnaper" In snapshotdom-she h1l "shoot" and every lntelr" ' nS 8ul,Ject whleh she Cttn ln I front of the earaera- . w..u, N.,.p.p.r ui.
