"BOOMERANG"
SMITH TO THE
RESCUE!
By YV1LLOUCHBY BRENT
($ kf Short Bury rub, C.)
NATUHEJ may not have been
kind to him when aha nuined
him "Hmltli," but aa usual aha
bad compensated for It In
many waya. The account waa prob
ably wore than balanced by one ability
which be possessed In a remarkable
degree the ability tu return whatever
be received favors, knock a, tlpa, no-uiatlvr-wbata
and return with due
aud proper accumulation.
Hand blui your half-used match for
Ida cigar end be would band you a
much better cigar than the one you
were amoklng. Hand him hot ahot
of aarcaam and bla Inatantaoeoue reply
would Unite your thought magiiaine.
He never held a grudge he did not
need to. He alwaya forgave but he
did not alwaya receive furglveneea.
Ho It waa that In the town of Kdge
more he waa kntwn by everyone, yet
I doubt If a down could have told you
what hie lultlala "H. It" really atood
for. The nickname "lloomerang" bad
ao overahadowed any baptlanial title,
and aeemrd to fit the Initiate ao nicely,
that "lloomerang Smith" be waa to all
and sundry.
I'eople were continually aaylng what
wonders he-surely could accomplish In
a big city, and lloomerang himself had
often thought of experimenting, yet he
waa essentially a bouie-body, and
Kdgetnors waa bla home and here be
at a yed.
Bo be reread the letter and frowned
again. Jo Kill In Kansaa City and
broke, and needing three hundred
like the very mischief! Hum 1 Well,
lloomerang knew he didn't have three
hundred to apare Just at that time, but
Jo Hill well, Joaeph William Know
had done him a favor he had forgot
ten Just what, hut that did not make
any difference he had done lilin fa
vor, and It waa now Iloumerang'e
move. One more frown (a frown on
noomerang'e brow Indicated deep
thought) aud then a smile 1 He bad l
echeme' that might be worth trying
aoinewhat risky and nilglit. cause an
awful lot of trouble for eonie people,
Including Jo Dill, but
And then Boomerang remembered.
Tlist little favor Jo Kill had done him
had been a favor all right In lta ulti
mate result, but It had nearly put him
In Jail meanwhile. He would return
In like measure. "Like for like, plua I"
waa his motto, and be grinned aa be
reached for a telegraph blank.
e
Tbua It waa that the telegraph oper
ator In the city, sleepily transcribing
uninteresting message after uninter
esting measage that la, uninteresting
(o him suddenly started wide-awake
and reread the words be bad Just
written:
air. J. W. 8uow,
22.13 Walnut Street,
Kansaa City.
Hide outt five hundred dollara
reward for you In Joplln.
Room.
The messenger boy who railed at
Snow'a address an hour later did not
carry a copy of this telegram, but
simply a notice atatlng that there-waa
a message for him at the main office
and requesting him to call for aame.
Jo Dill did not know why this should
be and neither did the boy. Aa a re
suit, Jo Hill In due season arrived at
the window of the main office and
asked for his telegram. Another gentle
man before the window glanced up at
hi in aa he announced bla name. The
window clerk, also, evented greatly
Impressed and acanned him carefully
before reaching Into the rack for the
measnge.
"la your name J. W, Snow?" he In
quired, atill studying him closely aa
though aeeklng verification of the
name In hla fare or garb.
"It la," said Jo Rill, thinking that
such formality must mean that Room
had telegraphed hi in anme money, and
hla face lit up accordingly.
"Do you live at 2233 Walnut etreetr
continued the clerk.
"I am atnylng there at present."
Thereupon the clerk banded hlin the
telegram which he began opening
eagerly, but before be had read It the
man who had been atandlng quietly by
atepped up to him auylng:
"Come with me, Mr. Snow. Toa are
under arreat."
"What I" Jo Bill nearly dropped the
telegram. "What did you eayr"
"You are under arreat," and the man
allowed bla badge to the astonished Jo
Bill.
"What fort ' he demanded.
"We'll aee later aa to that. At prea
ent Juat coma down to the atatlon with
me." '
"Why, man, you are aa wrong aa
wrong can be. You may want aome
Snow, but you don't want thla one."
"That may be, but It la not for me
to decide, you know. I'm to tuke you
to the atatlon, and there la no wdy of
getting around that."
"All right. Let me read my telegrnm
drat I am looking for aome money,'!
auylng which be opened the meaaage.
The shock of what he read there was
much greater than that when the offi
cer had atated he waa under arreat.
But Just for an Instant The algnature
reassured him, though what It all
meant he could not figure out.
At the police atatlon he refused to
talk. Ha had no money to put up for
bond and waa promptly locked up.
That night an attorney to whom Boom
erang had wired appeared on the acene
and allowed a little light to creep la
on the befogged but trusting mind of
Joaepb William, who spent the remain
der of hla time taking nutea for future
reference and without tuucb fear of
the outcome.
Meanwhile, In the office of the chief
of police, that official waa pondering
over a telegram. Before hi in waa the
copy of hla luenaage to the Jnplill chief;
"Am holding J. W. Snow for
whom there la a reward In your
city of five hundred dollara. Hhall
we tuke him there or will you come
here for hlmt"
In hla band waa the reply :
"Never beard of J. W, Hnow. No
reward here for hlin or anyone of
slmllur name."
The turnkey waa Immediately or
dered to releaee Hnow, who smiled
pic antly aa he paaxed out.
This waa Sunday. Karly Monday
morning suit waa Instituted against the
telegraph company for violating the
eecrety of a message committed to lta
care.
In the trial It waa proven that a
coda message to a Mr. J. W. Know,
shown to be a respected citizen of an
other city, had evidently been Inter
preted literally by aome clerk of the
telegraph company (perhapa hoping to
share tn the reward mentioned) who
had evidently Imparted to the police
the Information be thought waa con
tained therein; that, aa a result, the
aforesaid respected cltlien bad been
aubjected to the Indignity nf apendlng
a day In a cell In the city baatlle, and
of having bla picture heralded through
out the land by the aensatlonal press,
that had made various and aundry
gueasea aa to the crime for which the
aforeaald waa to be railed to account.
The attorney did full Justice to tbe
altuatlon.
The defeeae aounded aomewhat aa
though In need of nourishing food, or
aomethlng elae to atrengthen and bub
taln. The result waa quite definite.
Aa Jo Hill's preaalng need had been
for only three hundred, he thought
aomewhat of dividing with I'oomerang
Hmlth, but he waa ao Impressed by
the picture the attorney had drawn of
the Indignities he had suffered, that,
with a tear of sympathy for himself,
he allpped the money In bla pocket and
faded away.
Woman of Middle Age
No Subjtct for Pity
I waa trying to be tactful aa one
does when apeaklng of age to a middle
aged woman but aha looked at me
with amuaement
"My dear," she said, "both yoa and
I know I shall never see forty again,
and I am not In the leaat afraid ot
saying It, ao yon need not be."
It waa a new point of view to me,
ao I aaked her to explain.
"Oh, there are plenty of us If yoa
know where to find as," she said. "We
have our own good times, and the Joya
of middle age are aome that youth can
never ahare."
She pointed out that the middle
aged woman baa generally paaaed
those disturbing partings of the waya:
"Shall I marry r "Shall I make a ca
reer and develop my own Indlvtdu
alltyr which are ao hampering to
youth. She aeea the years ahead In
aome aort of ordered sequence, and In
a great measure at her own command,
for ahe knowa what ahe wanta now,
and can make for It.
Tbe woman who does not mind look
ing middle aged haa another pleasure
denied to youth ; ahe and her opinions
are accepted! seriously by her friends
and relations, and men folka are ready
to aeek her out tn their troubles and
Joya, fr she can discuss, with a wom
an's quirk wit and a alncere Interest
the aubjecta that they would never
dream of exposing to Mlsa Twenty'a
hasty Judgment.
The middle-aged woman la the only
really emancipated one, for ahe ran
travel atone, live alone and work alone,
without the complications that beaet
youth, however defiant or determined
It may be.
She can afford to go her own way
without fear, and la Ilka one who has
battled all day with the forces of na
ture and now returna home to find
warm, quiet leisure to pursue ber 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 thoae early twenties If they
could, with their disturbing emotions
and uncertain future. Youth's Joys
can be aa overrated aa middle age la
orerpltled. M. P. In the Cdntlnental
Edition of the London Mall.

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
BEING NEIGHBORLY
rTMlOSE attractive communltlea nea-
tied here and there In quaint rustic
places, where tbe bees are bumming,
the wild grasses are waving In tbe
passing breezes, and the tinkling of
belle la beard In the purple pastures,
tell a beautiful story of peace and con
tent. Often far away from the clamoroua
haunta of mortale where gold la god,
driving, lashing, heaping burdena of
rare upon gulled ahouldera, stealing
from life lta aweeteat delights, tbeae
little bamleta, when one cornea unex
pectedly upon them, eeein te reflect tbe
quietude that we Imagine exlata among
the courts of Heaven.
A few acatterlng rota where every
body la neighborly, tell a atory of
friendlineHa and aodullty of which the
natlona throughout the world aeem
quite unfamiliar.
Being neighborly la the simple secret
of flolversal happiness, the panacea of
world 111a, ruptures and revolts.
Although the happy man feela very
kindly toward others, others must re
ciprocate tbe feeling to get happiness
all around, and thla all around happi
ness Is available to everybody.
Who does not catch aomethlng of the
thrill cf delight experienced by two
lovers In tbe lune, loitering band and
hand?
To them buttercupe are aa aweet aa
roses, the aky la alwaya blue, the aun
la perpetually ahlnlng and the birds
are alnglng for no one elae.
And ao It la with the folk In the
humble cota, contented with their ata
tlon In life, pouring praises each day
from their bearte which eel don) find
utterance In worda, but atlr their souls
to sublime emotlona.
We may be highly meritorious, we
may have the power ot a king, tbe
learning of a Uecaenaa, the wealth ot
the Indlea, but If we are not neighbor
ly we cannot be happy, at peace with
others, or escape wrangles, ware of
worda and murderous arma.
If uetghborllnese doea not come oat
In our behavior toward one another,
there la within the aoul an unfriendly
aentlment. In spite ot our affected
amllea and assumed good manners.
When once the high placea ot the
world deride to be neighborly and put
their decision Into actual practice
there will be no more "rumbling of
calasona and guua," no more killing ot
brothers and wanton waste ot price
less treasures. Impoverishing peoples
for agea.

O
Court's Definition of
"Wound" 1$ Precedent
The Supreme court of Louisiana
held In the case of the atate agalnat
aeteral persons, In which one of them
bad been convicted of aa assault In
which be did "wound abort of maim
ing," that a "wound" la a breach of
the akin, or of the akin and flesh, and
there need be no effusion ot blood, ac
cording to the Journal of the Ameri
can Medical Association.
Tbe word "malm," according to the
court. Implies a permanent Injury or
crippling, and according to the better
use la not a synonym for mayhem,
which la a particular, aggravated aort
ot malm. A mere breach ot the akin
or ot, the akin and the flesh may be
produced with a atlck, and aucb Injury
would clearly constitute a wound leaa
than maiming; that la, leaa than a per
manent Injury or crippling.
"Mayhem" Implies a permanent In
jury or crippling, and at common law
conslsta ot bodily barm to another,
such aa to render him less able to
defend himself or less able to annoy
bla adveraary, aa distinguished from
one which merely dlsfigurea or doea
not disable.
