"I like and admire her mighty Bang
well, however, and if I can get her
feeling the sante way toward no love

I ezeil; ak, you have got to do a little
conspiring."
Hezeikak kept up tills thinking for
a long week and then finally got a
plot. lie went over to the widow ono
morning and asked: "Widow Black-
well, did you hear any strange noises
around last night?"
"No, I don't think . did," was the
reply,
"Scone one was sure sneaking around
our place last night," he continued. "I
have found my spade and hoe gone
this morning. Have you missed any
of your tools?"
"Why, no. But let me see? Yes, the
ax and the long -handled shoved are
gone, Thero surely must have been
a thief around here last night:'
"I not only heard him, but I saw
him," said Hezeiakak in very solemn
tones. "From the back door I saw
him jump the garden fence, but I
'didn't yell at him for fear of arousing
you." •
"My stars! How dare a thief come
around here?"
"Widow, there are more thieves
around Berea thanany other town in
the state --and far worse than
thieves."
"What do you nean?" she gasped.
"I mean robbers—burglars I I might
as well tell you the honest truth. It
is dangerous for a widow to live alone
in this town. I should have told you
so the day we first met,. but you had
bought the place and it was no use to
soy anything to skeer 'you. And so
I figured that I could take care of us
both. I have been doing that right
along,but last night they got the bet-
ter of me."
"Mr. Williams," said the widow in
anxious, tones, "do you mean to tell
me that I am in danger of robbers and
burglars?"
"Not with me around," he replied,
"unless I sleep sounder than you do
I shall be up and down a dozen times.

The Widow Blackwell bought fifty
chickens and half of theins were stolen
within a month.. She bought a pig,
and but for its own sharp squeals it
would have been lifted from the pen
and carried off. On several nights
after midnight her cow was milked
dry by the marauder. Some one stole
her washtub and bolter and even car-
ried off the family loop from the
woodshed.
One humnier'a afternoon a woman
sat at a country crossroads. She°had
been there about fifteen minutes. Had
she been a man there is no te111;tg

a woman, and a widow at that, she

f:hru::'r'e: wife and the goose were too
far away. Ilut tate widow was shaking
her facee at the Lase and getting

peared half a mile down the Hillsdale
It was Irez'ikak, widower, and he
was in 10) henry to get married again.
Neither was his. aged equine in a
hurry. To prove that he wasn't, he

pee if he could reach a horsefly. These
endden stoppinggs threatened to send
the driver over the ' dashboard, but

whistling.

Nearer and nearer the crossroads
came ilezekink with his ancient rig
ae the widow watched:him, and while
he was twenty rods away, 5110 Mut.
"iltl looks like a half fool, but may-
be ho i.uows enough to answer a plain
quest ion."
"Whoa!" exclaimed, Hezeikak, ae' he
came opposite. "Are you waiting here
for anybody?"
"I should think I was!" snapped the
widow. "I have been Waiting about
two flours for same one to come along,
and tell me in the .came of old Aunt
Ilamier wiry there isn't a guidepost at
theee crossroads."
"Madam, my name is Hezeikak Wil-
tackles." Paid' the man ae he approached
her horse and brought his hand down
upon his ilec'k with a: vigorous swat
and killed a horsefly.
"And mine is Sarah Blackwell, but
what has that got to do with. it?"
"Well, madam, I am a widower, you
see."
"And I ani a widow, but that isn't
answering; ley question as to why
there islet n• guidepost here to direct
strangers. It seems to be -the most
shiftless county in the state."
"The county is all right," he smiled.
"I have been living here more than
twenty year.', and I vow I have nailed
a new guidepost up here every year."
"But what has become of them?"
was her irritable demand. "Are you
(;oimi; to tell life that this horse look-
ing ':ver the fence has eaten them up
1U last its planted?"
. ".No, ma'am, I ain't. They are pulled
up by the roots whenever a young
lean around liere gets hilarious and
foes buggy riding with his girl. If
there was a guidepost hare, which we
both can see there ain't, what town
would you look for?"
"Why, Berea, of course."
"Oh, Lord, woman, Berea has been
in front of your nose and only three
0111(01 away all the time you have been
sitting here. So you aro going to Be-
rea; 011? I have lived there myself
since it was a town of four hundred
people, and•if you follow nie'you won't
lose your way. I heard the other day
that a woman from Ryefield was think-
ing of buying the Clixt&n place. It
don't happen by any chance that you
,are the woman?"
"Yes, it happens by a good many
chances that I am. 3C have bought
the place and. am now on my way over
for it."
"Shoo! That's right next door to
me, and I aro glad of it"
It is needless to say that in due
time both safely arrived in Berea, and

and the feint that: diifferent spe-

The accompanying photographs chow
the work of the McGill Women's
Union. No. 1 illustrates the prepara-
tion and drying of sphagnum and the
manufaature of 'dressings. No. 2, the
general soldiers' oomforts work. The
Union was orgelized during the first
weeks of the war from among the
families of the Governors and staff of
the University. Its original purpose
was to help provide "soldiers' com-
forts" for McGill graduates and
students on - active service, and as
these now number a -' r 2,200, the pos-
sibilities of its work may be imagined.
During the three and a half years of
its existence the Union has expended
nearly $8,000 on the purchase of bleb
grade materials, which have been
made up by its members into so( hs,
caps, mufflers, pyjamas, shirts, ete., to
a total of about 9,000 articles of cloth-
ing alone, to say nothing of an lin-
nlense nun]ber• of sphagnum dressings,
etc.
The organizer and first president of
the Union was Mrs. I3. Walter; si:reo

There was a secret which the widow
had not confided to Hezeikak, and
that was that she also was the owner
of a shotgun 'left her by her late la.
mented. When the thefts. continued
and Ilezeikak failed to bring down
any game, she loaded that gun with
fine birdshot and for three nights run-
ning she sat by her bedroom window
with the deadly weapon across her
knees. On the third night -she 'saw a
man moving about her grounds, and
without giving any warning she aimed
in his direction and pulled the trig-
ger.
The report of the gun was quelled
b9 yells, which she recognized as the'
private property of Hezeikak Wil-
liams. Two minutes later she was
kneeling beside him. He was not dead
but his plot was. He had conspired
with himself to make her believe that
a husband was badly needed around
her house for her protection. He own-
ed up to it like a man, and after tak-
ing the matter under consideration
for a few months, or until the last .of
the bird shot had worked its way out
of his anatomy, she said to him one
evening:
"Well, Flezeikak, I was not plotting
to get a husband, but I am not that
'•'an t., r n man with birdshot and
'1 • marry him."
