PLAYING
CHAUFFEUR
By RYLAND BILL
v'Thls is u very gentlemanly busi
ness, being tlie president's aid-de
camp," said Lieutenant Bruyton, "but
I'd rather be tbe general's orderly in
camp."
"Or drive a caisson," chimed in Cap
tain Cogswell.
"Speaking of driving guns, I'd like
to tackle an automobile."
"Why don't you hire out for a chauf
feur?"
"By Jove, there's an idea! I believe
I'll adopt it."
Brayton was just out of West Point
and had been appointed one of the
president's aids because he was a de
scendant of a coyimodore in the navy
who flourished in the war of 1812. He
hired an automobile, and after coming
very near causing the wrecking of
several cars and a couple of dozen per
sons he went back to the garage and
asked to bo taken on for a chauffeur.
The proprietor, having a call for a car
from a house In a fashionable quarter
of the city and noticing ISruyton's gen
teel appearance, sent him to do the
Job. Brayton pulled up beside the
curbstoue. He came near mounting it.
A young ladv standing In the window,
dressed t<> go out. rame to the door
and descended to the car.
"Take me for a ride," she said—"I
don't care where."
Brayton put on the clutch and speed
ed southward down the Potomac.
"Be careful." said the young lady as
he skidded round a corner. "Have you
beeu a driver long''"
"Yes. miss." was the reply as he
barely escaped wrecking a donkey
cart.
Presently they got out where the
road was more open, and the young
lady began to ask questions. This led
to her giving her handsome chauffeur
information about herself. Her fa
ther was Senator Brown, but recently
elected, and Washington was new to
bis family. Brayton represented him
self as the son of a cab driver. He
said In being a chauffeur he had got a
point ahead of the old man.
He was talking to the girl with the
back of his bead forward when he
heard a toot-toot and a yell and felt
a smash. Au auto rounding a corner
had run him down. The young lady,
being in the buck seat, was unhurt,
but Brayton was sent dying out of his
seat and landed in the street. He was
picked up unconscious. The man who
had plunged Into his car was beside
himself with anxiety. Brayton re
turned to consciousness and nsked
what was the matter. He was placed
In the car that had run him down be
side Miss Brown, apd she directed that
they be driven to her father's Ijouse.
Tbe senator was not at home. Bray
ton had recovered sufficiently to de
sire to keep his identity a secret and
gave his name to several newspaper
reporters as Patrick Dooian. Miss
Brown directed that he be carried Into
the hou*e, but he insisted on walking,
supported by a man on each side. Miss
Brown wished to send him upstairs to
bed. but he preferred resting on a
lounge.
West Point Is a goou scnooi 10 euu
cate young moil to hard knocks, and
Bray ton hail the pluck of a soldier.
Nevertheless he "sojered." Miss Brown
was so pretty, so attentive, so sympa
thetic. that he preferred to linger. So
he made several feeble attempts to
stand on his feet, but when be saw the
color leave her cheeks at witnessing
the effort on him. rather than give her
pain—which he did not feel himself—
he lay down again.
Senator Brown, who was busy at the
capital at a meeting of a committee of
which he was a member, did not hear
of the accident, and since his daughter
had not been Injured he was uot In
formed of it. About 6 o'clock in the
evening he came home, and Mrs.
Brown met him at the door to tell him
what had occurred and that the in
jured chauffeur was lying on a lounge
in the library, being fed dainties and
braced with choice wines by Alice,
their daughter. Senator Brown said
he would go In and see the man and
have him removed to his home or a
hospital, whichever seemed best
When the gentleman stood ic the li
brary doorway and saw young Brav
ton lying on a lounge, a table covered
with luxuries beside him and Alice
bending over him. a look of surprise
dawned in his face, while /trayton
returned a look of consternation. The
senator was quite sure he had seen
the chauffeur somewhere, and the
chauffeur knew the senator very well
by sight, having seen him often at the
White House.
"Are you not one of the president's
attendants?" asked Mr. Brown.
"It's all up with me," replied the
officer. "I'm Lieutenant Brayton, the
president's aid. I thought I'd turn
chauffeur for a lark."
Mr. Brayton was forgiven for hav
ing endangered the life of Miss Brown
and invited to remain in the house
till he had recovered. He said that
his chief wish was to keep the matter
from being known, especially to foe
newspapers. Miss Alice thereupon sug
gested that It would be best for him to
remain till every vestige of injury had
disappeared.
Attended by a pretty girl, it was
not to be expected that he would re
cover in a hurry. It was a couple of
weeks before he left the house, and In
a couple of weeks more his engage
ment with Miss Brown was announced.

BELGIAN
CUCUMBERS
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1913, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
The county of Vernon In a certain
middle state was at peace. Farmers,
mechanics and merchants met each
other and asked:
"How is old Vernon county?"
And the answer would be:
"Old Vernon county is all right—you
bet!"
Fifty men saw X. M. Davis, as he
came to be known, when the bus drove
up to the Inn at Clifton with him as
the only passenger. He was a middle
aged man, and he had the face of a
true American patriot He had come
to give Vernon county such a chance
to get rich as had never been held out
to her before. Years ago his grand
father had died and had been burled in
that county, and it was consecrated
ground to him. That is why ho had
come to It iustead of any other county.
.Mr. Davis had come to Clifton direct
from Europe. He had gone over there
to study the agriculture of the country
at his own expense. He had returned
with what might be called a great find.
The Belgians were almost secretly
growing a specimen of cucumber that
was bound to revolutionize the world.
It was amazingly prolific.
One acre of ground would grow 5,000
cucumbers, each three feet long and
weighing five pounds.
It was like eating oranges. It was
a breakfast food in itself. It left be
hind it an exhilaration not known to
any other vegetable in the world.
This cucumber was certain to take
the place of grains of all sort in a
year or two more and would displace
the potato and the turnip entirely.
Mr. Davis did more than talk and
exhibit seeds. He pi>t $50 cash in
bank as a prise to the person raising
the most Belgian cucumbers the next
spring or summer. It was November
then. Between November and April
Mr. Davis sold over 53,000 worth of
seeds and received his money for them.
When he went away he went boldly,
and he left the prize money in the
bank. By so doing he escaped all sus
picion.
Now came a mystery. In Clifton
lived a widow named Lee. She had
been there only two years, and the
people knew little about her. She was
nearly six feet tall, rugged and strong,
and she neighbored with none. She
went to Mr. Davis for some seeds, but
refused to pay the price. She offered
only a penny apiece and when turned
down made use of some very strong
language.
April was a forward month in Ver
nou county, and the cucumber vines
were beginning to run by the middle
of May. One night somo one pulled
up aud stacked the vines in ten dif
ferent gardens. They found tracks
of a man's boots, but nothing further.
The nest night more gardens suffered.
Just who to suspect was a puzzler,
but of course it was a case of Jealousy
and spite. Every man who had any
vines set a watch on them.
Deacon Tracy was the first one to
report a clew. He had half an acre of
vines and was sitting up to watch
for the vundal when a man came sud
denly upon him and knocked him
senseless. When ho recovered his wits
his vines had been destroyed. Tracks
left by a man's boots—that was all.
Of course there were excitoment aud
indignation. A reward of $5 was
offered for the arrest of the marauder,
nnd owners of vines as yet untroubled
hired watchmen. Then the roan of
night betook himself out among the
farmers. Ho raided far and wide.
He destroyed nothing but the cucum
ber vines, but he did not spare a hill
of them that be cou'd get at He was
chased by men and dogs: he wag shot
at: traps were set for him in twenty
different places, yet no one earned
V.nt rewara.
At Farmer Johnson's place ha snd
bis son were bidden In the smoke
house when the unknown appeared.
He had scarcely pulled a vine when
they were upon him. Both were strong
men. but the struggle was over In a
minute. The unknown knocked them
both silly and got away with their
bats and pieces of their shirts as
s<y"wulrs. It was figured that he bad
gut suet h scaie. however, that he
would net n[if w again. He returned
next night no one was watch
ing aud attacked the vines.
The escitment i»as now at fevei
heat, and the whole. vfrunty was ask
ing what should be done, when the
marauder cam* to his end. A widow
named Jones bad twenty feill» of vines
she was watching. She nad an old
army carbine, and a neighbor had
loaded it for her. She was wutching
from a window, and as the man of
night appeared and began his work
she fired at him. He dropped, but
struggled up aud ran.
A hundred men turned out and
searched the streets and alleys and
the country around, but they did not
find the wounded man. They had given
up the quest when word went round
that no one had seen the Widow Lee
for three days. The locked doors of
her house were broken open, and she
was found dead on the floor. A bullet
had struck her in the chest—the bullet
fired by the other widow. She was
dressed as a man from head to heel
and had false whiskers besides.
The Belgian cucumbers? Oh, they
wer<j a fraud, of course—just plain,
everyday American cucumbers, with
the usual 09, per cent water. Ifs Just
B9 easy to swindle a whole county as
It is to swindle a single man. Ail you
have to do is to get a new idea.
To Move Piotures.
People wliii stand their ramlly por
traits ugrtlnst the .walls while packing
and unpacking their household goods
cause n great deal of broken glass,
scratches and dents. The first thing
to be done when moving into your new
home should be to hang the pictures
any place in order to get them out of
the way without waiting to choose a
scheme of arrangement. This will
prevent a great deal of breakage and
other damage.—New York Telegram.
Checkers.
Checkers is said by some to be a very
old game, while others declare it to be
of comparatively modem origin.
Whence It came is absolutely un
known. The game is also called
drafts, and there are many varieties
of it—Chinese. English. Polish, Span
ish, Italian and Turkish. It is also
fonnd among the native tribes of the
interior of New Zealand.
Testing His Faith.
Uncle-Well. Bobby, what did yon
learn at school today? Bobby—I learn
ed that the world Is round and turns
on biuges. like that globe in the II
brary. Uncle—Well, what do you think
of that? Bobby-1 think, uncle, they
■re asking me to believe a good deal
for a small boy.—St Paul Pioneer
Press.

DEAFNESS CANIJOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by institutional
remedies. Deafness 1b caused by ail
inflamed condition of the Eustachia
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of lmper
f>'*.t hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and u.
less the inflamtion can b s taken
out and this tube restored to Its nor
mat condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth.
lng but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give "Ctoe Hundred Dollars
