The spring wind beat in hi i face. A mating blackbird trilled in the greening marsh. Harwell in bin running pants and jersey, with hi i bare legs and sandaled feet, with Ili line head tossed back and t’ae muscle i f his back rippling beneath his jersey, was as beautiful in his perfection of youth as the spring landscape through which he ran. It was getting a little warm for th a daily cross country trot, but the spring meets would be on in another week, and after that cap and gown in ex change for jersey during commence ment week. Until then Harwell had only three things to remember. First, he was not to overdo. He was so near the per fection point now that with the least FO HIS ARMPITS IN SAND, WITH HIS EACH WHITE AND SENSELESS. extra work he would be stale. Sec ond, he must be careful of that right thigh muscle. He had strained it in the fall as quarterback. And, lastly, this third necessity being unknown to the trainer, he must win the hundred yard dash in the Colwell-Wilton meet. The rivalry between Harwell and Small had become more than physical. To win first place in the meet was to win first place in Alice Summer’s eyes —at least, this was the conclusion reached by Harwell. He hurdled the pasture bars into the meadow’. It was rather wet, and the smell of bruised cowslips and tender new* sprung mint followed the soft pad of his sandals. At the sand pits Har well halted at the sound of his name shouted at the top of lusty lungs. Small, in knickerbockers, was pound ing aw’ay with his geological hammer gt a huge bowlder. “I’ll chill if I stop!” called Harwell merrily. “Why aren’t you running?” “Got this bloomin’ five-fifths geology to make up this week.” “Too bad!” shouted Harwell, bound ing with his long strides toward the far side of the pits. Small looked after him, then a mali cious look crossed his eyes. If—if Har well should get chilled! He sprang to ins feet. “Wait! Wait!” he roared. “I want” —then “Great heavens!” he cried. Then there w as silence. Harwell did not turn his head at Small’s call. He grinned appreciative ly to himself. “Can’t work me that way,” he thought. “A chill for me w’ould be very valuable to Small,” and he crossed the little meadow’ brook with a careless bound. Then a vague sense of apprehension entered his mind. Small's roar had stopped very sudden ly. He w’ondered why. Perhaps he ought to go back, yet he kept on. But the sense of apprehension grew aud would not go. Finally, with a lit tle groan at his own foolishness, Har well turned and retraced his course to the sand pits, his stride never break ing. At the brow of the slope he gave a startled ejaculation. lu springing to h’s feet Small had dislodged a great slice of the sand pit wall. To his arm pits in sand, with face w’hite and sense less and the sand creeping constantly down to sift higher and higher about him, w’as Small. Harwell dashed toward him. As he ran he snatched up au old tin can half full of rain water and dashed it in Small’s face. Small opened his eyes. “I’m suffocating, Harwell,” he said. “Oh, no, you’re not; not by a long chalk. Here, take this can aud dig to beat the band. I'll use this piece of shovel, and we’ll have you out in a jiffy.” He set to work feverishly. The bit of shovel proved very efficient wielded by Harwell’s sinewy arm. and the tin can in Small’s hands was not to be de spised. 'Harwell worked with one eye on the edge of the pit. The sand lay ers, one by one. were loosening. If he did not get Small free before they fell —well, %here was no use in thinking of that. Now Small was free to his waist line, now to his thighs., now—silently, swiftly, a great wedge of sand gave way, and Small was again buried to his shoulders. Harwell looked about. The pits bad GRANT COUNTY HERALD. LANCASTER WISCOASIS, OCTOBER IS 1906. teen so long deserted that there was not a board in sight. Yes, half buried and black with age, there was one. Hu pelted across the pit. gave a great wrench and was back again with tho board, which he placed as a bulwark against further sand slides. Then to work again with the broken shovel, feverishly, for Small was growing faint and limp. At hut, panting, Harwell helped the half unconscious Small to his feet. Then he was suddenly conscious that his hands were blistered, that his feet dragged, that his right thigh muscle ached wearily. But he put his arm about Small and led him slowly from the sand pit down to the turnpike road that was the straightest course to the college dormitory. It was nearing sun set, and a damp, cool wind blev.’ fron the marshes. Harwell shivered, but het closed his lips firmly and hurried Small on as best he could. There was the sound of hoof beats behind them. The two weary figures drew to the roadside and waited for the smart little dogcart to pass them. But it stepped, and its solitary oc cupant gave an exclamation of sur prise. “What in the world is the matter?” asked Alice Summers. “Small got caught in the sand pit,” re plied Harwell, both men staring up in to the beautiful, sensitive face. The girl gave a little cry of sympathy. “Oh, get in here, Mr. Small, and I’ll drive you to the doctor.’’ In a few moments Harwell was watching the gay painted back of the trap, now occupied by two figures, re treating into the dusk. His lip quivered a little sensitively. “They never thought of me,” he mut tered. “Small has got her, and I—l’ve got the chill he wanted me to have.” Then he limped on through the twi light toward the dormitory a mile away. That evening Harwell sat in the liv ing room of his fraternity house nurs ing his aching muscles and giving an occasional sneeze. The hundred yard dash was lost; but, since Alice, too. was lost, he was strangely indifferent. Then he was called to the telephone. Miss Alice Summers, who was staying at the hotel with her mother, would be glad to have him call. As Harwell, very cold and dignified, stalked into the reception room Alice, her winsome face eager, led him to a quiet corner. “Dick,” she said hesi tatingly, “did I act very brutal this afternoon?” Dick thought for a moment. “Yes,” he replied firmly. Alice caught her breath. “But how could I know that you had been so fine? You said nothing.” “There was nothing to say. It was Small’s inning.” “Small!” sniffed Alice. “Don’t men tion Billy Small to me! I think you are fine, but I could get that from what Bidy said only by inference. Dick, did you get a chill?” Dick nodded, and Alice’s face fitted with dismay. With two brothers In college, she understood all the shad ings of training. “Oh, Dick!” she said. “Oh, Dick!” Something in her tone made Dick look up. “But you don’t care,” he said bitterly. “Don’t I?” she replied. “Well, per haps I do care, more that you were brave and fine enough to give up all chances in the meet to help a man who was not worth it.” The room swam around giddily. Dick clutched the arms of his chair, and then both the girl’s slender hands were In his. “Dick,” she whispered, “don’t you see that what you have done is better than winning ten dashes?” “I am sure of it,” said Dick. And there was a thrill of Joy in his voice that left no doubt as to his meaning. The Java Python. No creature of the jungles of Java is more feared than the terrible python. A hunter tells of his experiences with one of these huge snakes. “Gunning one day near the Wasli river, in the interior of the island,” he says, “1 watc bed a number of wiki hogs coming to the water to drink. Suddenly the head of a snake rose above the grass and a hog squealed. A python had seized a full grown one, easily three feet high at the shoulder, and thrown two coils around the body. Under the tremendous pressure the hog seemed to lengthen, and when the snake un coiled I saw only a strip of meat, nothing distinguishable but the head. I shot the snake. It was twelve feet long and seven Inches through, and yet its coils had crushed the bones of its prey like chips. There is no doubt that hidden away in vast swamps of the interior are many anacondas of enormous size. Parties have been made up to hunt them, but the mala rious climate drives them back.” Science and Manufacture. In the Zeiss glass works at Jena four teen doctors of science are employed, and these include mathematicians as well as physicists. The great German aniline color works employ more “sci entific” than “technical” chemists. At one of them, far instance, fifty-five sci entific and thirty-one technical chem ists are engaged, at a second 145 scien tific chemists and 175 technologists, at a third 148 scientific chemists for sev enty-five technlcists. The research lab oratories of these works are lavishly equipped. One of them possesses a li brary of 14.000 volumes. A sefand spends 150.000 francs a year on glass ware. These things are na doubt ex pensive. but these great factories still manage to pay a dividend of from 20 to 30 per cent. Every newly discovered substance which is usable is patented, and in this way Germany has managed to establish a monopoly. The house of Baeyer possesses a thousand patents at home and 1.200 in foreign countries.— London Graphic. This is the season of decay and weakened vitality.
