this Christmas eve the corners of the
corridor, the hangings on the walls,
the bustS and their pedestalS, and the
cases of precious historic relics did not
lose outline and blend into dull feature
less space. Instead, the glow of twi-
light fingered and a soft radiance hll-
ed all the place. This that follows is
only a trick of the dreamer's memory,
and to the dreamer it was genuine and
sweet with inspiration"
This of course gives little suggestion
of the story that is to come but it Whets
the readers appetite adm the story is
sword in the state historical society in
Topeka which was carried by an Off
Ger in Coronado's command.
1t is impossible to give an adequate
description of the story itself but it is
enough to say that the theme furnish
es a wealth of suggestions for the bril-
liant mind of the author and she has
made the most of her opportunities.
The book is published by Crane & Co,
of Topeka, is illustrated by Carl P.
Bolmar and made to sell for so cents.

author of 1.-THE Lady of the Mount"
published by the Bobbs-Merrill Co.
When he first went into the dining
room or the motel, one OF the Japanese
walters murmured "Ohio." when he
got onto his train for Tokyo people
said to him. and apparently to one
another of him. "Ohio." He took a
trip into the mountains, and there the
girls called out after him. "Ohio;" he
travelled to extreme ends of the island,
and still even small children and
babies murmured or lisped the magic

and procured food for her and the boy
as we'll. A hearty meal has made a
wonderful change in her. She is now
feeling that life may still hold some
thing for her. and that there is at least
one human being on earth that cares
whether she lives or dies"
She doesn't look as if she had a feel

the fact. The ragged and dusty old
bird sat on the perch with hanging head
and closed eyes. and seemed utterly
oblivious of her surroundings. Even
the family cat was disgusted at sight
of her.
1.-THE house is strange to her." ex-
claimed Mr.. Bowser. 'and there cannot
be the least doubt that she feels you
are inimica1 to her. She fails to catch
a sympathetic note in your voice-a
heartiness in your welcome. The result
is that she is placed in an embarrass-
ing position"
ITS news to me that an old parrot
can be embarrassed. :"
PERHAPS so. 1 had no hope from the
first that you would make her welcome
or have any sympathy for the poor boy
that had to part with her. He had to
hasten from the door to keep you from
seeing the tears in his eyes. Another
moment and he would have burst into
sobs.'
Another moment, If he had seen a
policeman coming, he'd have jumped off
the stOop and over the fence. He no
doubt stole bird and cage somewhere.
How much did your sympathetic heart
dictate that you should pay for the OUT
fit?"
Mr.. Bowser treated the question with
the contempt 1t deserved. and there was
a long interval of silence before he
said:
"I can realize the feelings of this
bird. She doesn't wish to be under any
obligations to you. 1 positively forbid
you to give her food or drink. 1 will at
tend to those things myself. And, in
the same breath. I warn you against
any rnalevolence. If come. home any
evening and find her her with a broken
leg or lying dead there will be cata-
clysm around here. I shall be able to
lay my hand on the murderer without
trouble"
Mrs Bowser made no reply to that,
but went down to the kitchen to tell
the cook about breakfast. Left alone,
and his heart still melting with SYM
pathy, Mr.. Bowser reached into the

per is as bad as her looks"
my heart has this to do with it,
Mrs. Bowser. When I see even bird
hungering for food and a kind word
my heart beats in sympathy. 1t was
altogether a sympathetic move on my
part
"Oh. it was? I haven't seen any
sympathy on your part when I hun
gered for gloves and handkerchiefs
and hosiery
Mr.. Bowser flushed up and glared
across the table at her, and the re-
mainder of the dinner was finished in
silence. On reaching the sitting room
he walked three or four times around
the battered old cage holding Poll
and then said
1.-THE circumstances were these.
That boy came into the office as I was
about ready to start for home and
wanted to sell me the bird. He is an
Italian boy. This has been his pet
parrot and playmate for the past two
years, but owing to the hard times he
could no longer keep it. Tears rolled
down his cheeks as he said that he
had eaten nothing for two days"
"And the tears melted your heart %
'They did. Besides being hungry,
the boy was heart-broken at the idea
that his pet bird must go to a strang-
er-perhaps to some one who would
take the axe to her instead of speak
ing kindly. Then the bird herself
looked at me with a sorrOwful appeal
in her eyes, and 1 could no longer re-
sist"
"I see how it was with you,'' re-
piled Mrs Bowser. "You bought a
new-nnilch COW once because you
thought she switched her tail in a
sorrowful manner

tude you do, go ahead, but 1 know my
duty and shall do it. This case has

The reading public in Kansas has
become accustomed to expecting new
book from the pen of Margaret Hill Nc
Carter when holiday time comes around.
They have the most delightful recollec-
tions of THE Cottonwood's Story" and
''Cuddy's Baby and no doubt are Won
dering what this Christmas will bring
forth.
Well here is the key - the secret
though Mrs. McCarter will no doubt be
al of confidence: The 1908 book is to be
called I'm Old Quivera" and if the
bookmakers are not tardy it will be
given to the world next week.
The story is the most pretentious
Mrs. McCarter has written and as in
dicated by the title has to do with the
experience of the ill fated Coronado
expedition into Kansas in search of the
mythical city of gold.
The introduction hardly gives a hint
of the vivid interest of the narrative
but it is necessary to connect it with
Twentieth century civilization in the
Sunf1ower state. Here is an extract:
TT was a Kansas Christmas eve. The
sun of a grand December day had
swung down through a sea of crystal
radiance, and lay now for one brief mo-
ment on the rim of the world in a last
rich chrism of benef1cent glory. A
moment later, and the sun was gone,
but far up the sky there shot long
slender shafts of pink that touched
And while the twilight deepened below,
the light overhead held sway for
brief time longer. Its reflection bent
earthward and caught the projecting
points of the landscape in its scope.
Highest Of all these was the dome of
the Kansas capitol. through whose
broad windows the last rays of day
light fell. They illumined the great
inner concave of the dome and drove
back the shadows of the upper cor
ridor that had gathered boldly even be-
fore sunset.
Outside, the pink grew suddenly dull.
the light went out, and a gray twilight
passed into a darkness that the stars
pointed up with their far cold fires.
Under the dome the electric currents
were shut off, and only a dim glow here
and there showed the watchmen of the
capitol where some treasure needed es-
pecial keeping.
I'm the upper corridor the light tar
ries longest, as If to guard what gold
cannot duplicate. For here are gather
ed the historic emblems of a common
wealth, the treasure-trove of Time,
cast up by the f1eeting years. When
the light has quite gone from the sky
the shadows here are gray and dreamy
before they deepen into darkness. On

what on earth ails the cat!''
Nothing; it's that old parrot of
yours
earth
There was succession of gurgles,
Screams and shrieks. and Mr.. Bowser
ran to the head of the stairs. After
listening a moment he said:
Mrs, Bowser, if that yaller-eyed
old cat of yours has murdered my
parrot I will have blood in repay
ment!"
You know the cat is locked up
she answered. Its that bird. There
he goes again. He's lonesome for you,
or else he's trying to swallow his
own feet. Why don't you go down
and see? If he keeps that noise up
much longer we'll have the police in
here"
''Where-where is my revolver?"
Nobody knows. and you don't need
it anyway. Go right down and tell
poor Polly how your heart beats for
her, and how mine doesn't, and she
may shut up. If she doesn't you will
have to sit up with her all night
Several further shrieks sent Mr..
Bowser down the stairs and as he
lighted the gas and advanced to the
cage the bird uttered one terrific
shrek and fell off the perch and
kicked it's last.
What is it?" asked Mrs. Bowser

cage to take Poll off her roost and tell
her how welcome she was to the house.
She didn't come off the perch. On the
contrary, she hung there and gave him
such a bite on the wrist that he went
dancing about the room and using bad
words. His sympathetic heart got a
bad jar, but he had to conceal the fact
from Mrs. Bowser who had no sooner
returned than she asked:
What were you cavorting around the
room for just now?"
Il wasn't cavorting."
And who were you talking tor"
mo one.''
She seemed to doubt him, but moth
ing more was said. and after smoking
a cigar and glancing over the evening
paper, Poll was carefully covered up,
the cat locked in the kitchen and the
Bowser family went up stairs to bed.
Sleep had not yet come when there
was wild. weird Shrek from below,
and Mr.. Bowser bounced up with the
exclamation:

The cage was placed in the sitting
room, and with a farewell wave of his
hand to Polly Mr.. Bowser led the way
down to the dining room. When the
meal had fairly begun he said:
Mrs Bowser, perhaps I owe you an
explanation, 1 have brought home a
parrot"
Yes, I know, and I cant get over
my amazement. More than one hun
dred times I have heard you say that
you'd like to take a crowbar and
knock the head off'n every pollparrot

but it was probably made unthinking-
ly and without reference to my heart"

BOWSER'S HEART.
1t Beats With Sympathy for Forlorn
Parrot.

There was establishment in the Bow
ser residence the other evening when
Mr.. Bowser came home from the Of
flee accompanied by boy and par
rot, the latter in a cage. The boy was
in hurry to get away, and he had
departed before Mrs. Bowser got
breath enough to exclaim.
You don't mean that you've gone
and bought that thing?"
THAT thing, as you call it, replied
Mr.. Bowser, "is a bird. AS to it's
species, it's a parrot. Please refer to
it as such hereafter"
But what is it doing here ?''

it is my property, and 1 warn you here
