(From The Pirate)
Besides the regular district and
state contests in typewriting this
year, there will be a county con-
test which will conform to the same
requirements as laid down for the
district contest except that the re-
quirements as to affiliation of the
subject With the State Department
of Education will not be enforced
This change was made so that Taft
and a few other schools of the
county that do not have affilation
might enter the contest.
Mf. B. F. Miller, who teaches the
commercial Work, will select the
contestants for the meet from his
class of typewriting students.

fession.' As a matter of fact, he
was just getting the name of be-
in^ one of the tinest landscape
gardeners in the country. Yet it
would be many years before his in-
come would compare with Betty s.
Now, one of Betty's first extrava-
gances—so termed by Miss Deborah
Perkins, Betty’s middle-aged, thrifty
housekeeper—was the purchase of
old Caleb Hemingway’s place, a
rambling, run-down farm of devital-
ized, fields, overgrown woodlots and
unkempt meadows. Betty bad torn
down the house and replaced.it with
a tapestried brick affair, comfort-
able and pleasing in appearance.
The grounds—well, what more nat-
ural than that she should put them
into the hands of her old-time
friend, with carte blanche to do
as he pleased with them?
Frequent consultations with Betty
were by no means the least desir-
able feature of his job, and at times
it necessitated all his self-control
not to tell her of his .love. A cer-
tain. wistfulness in the girl’s eyes
tempted him. Did she wonder why
he was so much more formal than
in the old days before her fortune
had come between them?
Day by day the impulse strength-
ened to let her know* in some deli-
cate fashion, that his love for her
still existed. He came to ponder
the problem almost incessantly, but
not until Betty declared she must
have a vegetable garden did the
answer come.
For some time he had decided
what form his message ought to
take, but to use for the purpose the
conspicuous means of a flower bed
would never do. A vegetable gar-
den suggested the solution. He
would plant his love in seeds—in
some quick growing annual. Rad-
ishes, for example.
All but a sunny, inconspicuous
little corner he turned over to his
assistant, a canny, taciturn old
Scotchman named Ferguson. In
that little plot he labored carefully,
reminding himself . that he must
urge Betty to take personal super-
vision of her radish bed. Truly It
was a work of love as well as al-
phabetic art, and on the morning
of its completion John rose from his
. knees with a prayer for the proper
1' amount of sun and rain to produce
j speedy results.
I Now, whether or not John’s long
t hours spent bent over in the sun
I were the caose, at any rate some-
thing went suddenly out of kilter
that night in John’s well-being.
Morning found him calling incoher-
ently and tossing in fever, while two
doctors discussed treatments and
remedies, and tried not to listen to
“Betty ! Betty ! Betty!”
Anxious hours followed, in which
Betty shared. Her first thought In
the morning was for the latest
news of John; her last, a prayer
that he would spend a quiet night.
At length John’s nurse assumed
an unprofessional responsibility. **I
think,” she said to Betty as she
stood at the door answering her in-
quiries, “that before he will recover
some worry must be removed from
bis mind. He—he’s evidently in
I love with some one who doesn’t re-
ciprocate !*•
John’s quick recovery dated from
the moment when, startled out of
all reserve at the white, drawn
j face of the man she loved, Betty
fell on her knees at his bedside and
whispered brokenly, “Oh, John, my
darling! My darling!”
’ The doctor prescribed a sea voy-
age to assist John’s convalescing,
t and Betty not only acquiesced but
1 made all arrangements, even to in-
' slating that he must have a nurse
along, and in order to provide one
she would marry him! And John,
weak but beautifully happy, could
only thank heaven he had enough
to keep them going. :
Some time afterward, one glori-
ous, breezy afternoon, Betty, lean-
ing against ' the rail with John
Watching the scudding wake of
their steamer, heard a queer little
chuckle from her husband.
“What is it, dear?” she’asked.
“I was thinking,” said John whim-
sically, “how very much surprised
Miss Deborah Perkins must have
been when she read ‘I love you,
sweetheart!’ in her radish bed!”
But not until the two of them
were back at home again did they
learn the true efficacy of John’s

Churchill also cited the enormous
