QUAD _ % K\ \ ’ > - Copyright, 1913, by Associated Lit- ; By F. A. MITCHEL erary Press, Great Falls line o f Wall Paper All orders filled within 24 hours t R. C. Johnson Painter and D e c o r a tor 'Phone 51 Red - Choteau, Montana Professor Slocum of the college at Madisou was fifty years^ old at a ceD tain date. He was tall and stoop shouldered and ungainly. He. was ret-, icent and undemonstrative, and socie ty knew him not at all. Miss Deborah^ Day of the same town had reached the age of forty-five. She was plain of face and frigid of attitude, and her charms were missing. It was one Sunday in church that fate brought the old bach and the old maid together in the same pew, and they sang from the same hymn book.' Fate, through a mutual acquaintance, introduced them after the sermon. A- few evenings later the professor call-, ed. The talk was of philosophy. He called again, and they talked of-theoso phy. He made a third call, and the age o f the world was under discussion for an hour. After that it was for the cow to do her part. One evening, at sundown, Miss Day walked forth in a meadow to gather a few daisies. At the same hour it singularly 'happened that Pro fessor Slocum sought the same mead ow in search of geological specimens. The lady discovered her daisies, the professor discovered his pebb’les. the two people discovered each other, and together they discovered a cow. A , cow may be simply an animated object on the landscape or she may be a dis covery because she Is enraged over the loss of a born knocked off in some way and because she has her head down and her tail up and is charging the pebbles and daisy gatherers. Then the fifth discovery showed up It was a cow shed twenty rods away, a rough affair that had seen bet ter days. The meadow was retired, and the shed was more so. They reached It just in time for the pro fessor to find a board and bar the en trance against the cow and later on to further strengthen it There was no doubt about the bovine being in ear nest. She made frantic efforts to tear down the shed with her remaining horn, and when she could not effect an entrance she stood on guard to keep her victims from coming out Dark ness suddenly fell, and then the per turbed couple suddenly realized their situation.' “Professor Slocum, I must leave here this instant!\ exclaimed the horrified Miss Day. “ And so must 11” was the reply. “It Is not proper!” “ Certainly not!\ “ I shall be a laughingstock!\ “ And 1 the same!\ “ I can’t go, but you must!” said Miss Day as the cow quieted down. “ Pro fessor, you must see that you must go —you' must see it!\ “I do see it,\ he replied, “and, while I cannot depart from the shed, I can climb on the top of i t \ This he accomplished by making his way through a gap in the roof. He was now in a position of propriety, but there was the cow again. When she saw him perched up there, so near and yet so far, she tried to climb up after him, and at the end of two min utes Miss Day was shrieking for pro tection. Down scrambled the pro fessor, and the cow took to running around the shed to find where he had disappeared. The Interior of the shed had now become so dark that aothlng could be seen. In trying to Strengthen the door some more the pro fessor fell down and rolled over. In trying to go to his assistance Miss Day suddenly found herself sprawling. Can a person maintain frigidness when surrounded by a cow shed, with a mad cow battering away at the door? Can a person be stilted after rolling In the straw and dirt? Can be or she be severely ceremonious when it is im possible to see each other? The pro fessor wisely decided that they could not. and he reached out and clasped Miss Day’s hand. She returned the clasp. Then be put his arm around her in a protecting way, and she did not shrink. Then the old cow made up her mind to melt the frost and bring out the turtledoves If she had to break her neck to do it. She gave n bellow of warning and retreated eight or ten rods and then came for the side of the shed like a runaway locomotive She hit it fair and square, and two- thirds of it caved in like a bouse of sand. In the caving she was mixed up with beams and boards, and the pro fessor took advantage of the occasion to tear the door aside and then pull his companion out into the open. Then they ran for the nearest fence. It wasn’t dignified to fall down three or four times, but they fell. It wasn’t eminently proper, when the fence was reached and the cow was hard on their trail, for the professor to throw Miss Day over and then take a scramble himself, but that’s the way it was worked. Then as soon as the man in the case could get his breath be re alized the inevitable. They were both tattered and frizzled. They had togeth er passed through peril by flood and fire (and cow), and romance had come to their hearts at lash “ Miss Day. I have loved yon from the first!\ announced the professor as he took her baud. “ And I—I\— she replied after gasp Ing for breath. Of course she had. too. and of course that settled it then and there. The old -nw looked through tbp mils at them beard the cooing of the doves and with a snort of disgust turned tail and walked away. And yet sbp bad made over two human beings be like the average The nineteenth century, so prolific in inventions and discoveries, laid the foundation for some remarkable steps in [knowledge of the functions of the ijjody. During the first decade of the twentieth experimenters in Institutions for original research became aware timt. there was an intermediate shite ^tfptween life and death, since life in ■ many organisms 'could be suspended ;;by' being frozen in liquid air aud after ward resuscitated. .”^It was found that bacteria, the low est plant organisms, have enormous 'powers of resisting death. Bacteria o i various diseases were frozen in -liquid air at a temperature of minus 3G0 degrees F. There are instances of the lives of frogs, rats, snails and fish being suspended by this freezing proc ess, yet on being “ thawed out” after Several weeks they revived. y These animals were fpund to be per fectly normal when plait-d In a refrig erating jar filled with liquid air at a certain temperature. After a short time the animals appeared lifeless. A month later they were removed and on being massaged showed signs of life, often reviving completely. It does not appear that these investi gators made experiments with human beings. Doubtless human beings ob jected to being thrust into a glass tank filled with liquid air 3G0 degrees below zero. Since then there has been no effort to discover whether human beings could be frozen aud brought to life. In I8S5 a party of tourists started from the town of Chamonix, in Swit zerland, by the old route to climb Mont Blanc, the railroad to the summit not then having been built One of the^; guides, Hans Twingle, twenty years old, was to be married on his return to Anna Bishof, three years his junior. The lovers, in the first freshness of youth, bade each other goodby, the girl In tears, for she had dreamed that she had been separated from Hans till she was an old woman near sixty, when she met him again, he being a youth of twenty. At that age he had no sym pathy for an old woman aud turned his blick upou her. At the parting she feared that her dream boded some trouble either for her lover or herself And so it did. When the party re turned to Chamonix Hans Twingle was not with them. He bad fallen into a crevasse on the glacier buudreds of feet deep, and no effort was made to recover his body. The glacier moves at such a rate that it would bring Hans’ body down to a point where the ice w,ould give it up in exactly forty years.-- Anna Bishof, though she mar ried, all her life hoped that she would live to look once more on the lover of her youth when he should be returned from his icy grave. A few years ago Dr. Donenshunner. an Investigator of the Institute For Original Research, went to Chamonix and heard the story of Hans and Anna. He found the latter an old woman and on questioning her as to the date that Hans had disappeared learned that the body was due to come forth from the glacier during the summer of the year 1925. On the 1st of July last the doc tor went over to Chamonix and wait ed for the appearance of the body He did not reveal his purpose, since It seemed so quixotic that he feared de rision It was to determine with the assistance of the latest scientific meth ods whether Hans was dead or in the puspensory state and, if the latter, whether be could be brought to life. It was late in September before Hans’ body appeared. Dr Donens hunner had revealed bis intention to the deceased relatives and secured their permission to resuscitate him. He had secured a bathtub, which he filled with water at 33 degrees, or one degree above the freezing point He placed the body in this tub and grad ually advanced the temperature, mas saging the thorax about the heart and extending the operation over the whole body. A record of what further expedients the scientist resorted to he turned over to bis institute, where they are on file. Doubtless they would be too profes sional to be given here The point 1 wish to mention especially Is bow his former sweetheart’s dream came true. When Hans, still a man of twenty, had been restored Anna, attended by her granddaughter, was introduced to the apartment where be was Hans sprang op, brushed by his former sweetheart, nearly knocking her over. and. throw ing his arms around the granddaugh ter. exclaimed: Anna, dear heart. I am back with von In time for our wedding!\ Gott in himmel!\ exclaimed the old woman \My dream has come true’ He spurns me!\ “ What Is the old hag saying?\ que ried Huns. Old bag!” whined Anna Then, los ing control of herself, she seized a broom standing in a corner and bela bored him unmercifully. Dr. Donenshunner blames himself for a scene that was too much for a heart that had been frozen forty years He did all iu Ills power to bring Hans back to life a second time but his ef forts were futile. The Incident had n singular effect upon the granddaughter, who was but seventeen years old and not prepared for such a strain. She accused her grandmother of having murdered Hans. The people of Chamonix s-iy that the girl gave her heart r<> a man old enough to be her grandfather Forget your troubles in an hour of amusemenjt ,y.
