CHAPTER XVII.
A Dinner for Two.

A little knot Of rustics loafing idly
about the blacksmith's forge capped
open-mouthed at the two actors as
they passed with that half-resentful
stare that the sight of a stranger
seems frequently to provoke In remote
country districts, and bucolic With

fully called pleasant. Monty made a
mental note Of his inches and shiv-
cred. He wished the man had not
been quite so big, for 1t was quite con-
ceivable that the landlord might hold
other views than Joe's hopeful maxim
about credit being one of the most
valuable props of trade.
Apparently no misgiyings troubled
Joe.

thought better OF 1t and replaced his

his mind. Ioe's eye met his for a

Widespread Campaign Begun By
Y. M. C. A. In Eastern
Pennsylvania.

With the assistance of the opera
tors, the Y. NJ. c. A. in Eastern Penn.
sylvania has begun widespread
campaign looking to the establish
ment of Mining Institutes" through
out the anthracite region. Officials
of the United States and the Pennsyl.
vania governments have become in
terested in the movement and have
agreed to contribute their efforts to
make 1t success. Bases of opera
ton are being established at several
points, and thousands of mine work
ers will be reached when the ma
chine is in good working order.
One of the principal objects of this
movement is to afford opportunities
to the foreigners who come into this
region in large numbers and. for the
most part, are not only unframed IN
mining but are ignorant of the Eng
..sh language. The assimilation of
this class of labor, and the proper
training of it, is the great problem
in the anthrasite region today. All
the agencies that help in its solution
receive the encouragement of the
mining companies.

ADJUSTMENTS

The scenes of Martin G. Emery
Company's production of the musical
play, THE Red MILL" in which those
TWO clever comedians, Swor and
Woods, take the leading roles. are
laid in Holland. 1t is believed that
this is the first play ever presented
in America devoted exclusively to
the portrayal of Dutch character and
location. The quaint atmosphere OF
the country of dykes, windmills and
wooden shoes is said to have been
capitally caught by the author, Hen
ry Blossom, and tunefully portrayed
by the composer, Victor Herbert.
THE Red Mill is in two acts. The.
first depicts a square in the town of
katwyk-aan-Zee, a picturesque place
on the North Sea. The picture is
said to be absolutely correct and a
duplication of an actual scene. In
the background is the great practi, al
red wind mill. with its slowly sweep
ing sails, and at one side is a funny
little Dutch inn, which has an i'm
portant bearing on the story. The
second scene shows delft blue in
terror representing the house of the
Burgomaster. Both these settings
are typical of the artistic distinction
that characterizes all of Martin q
Emery Company's productions.
The plot is around two stranded
Americans, played by Swor and Woods
who are unable for some time to
escape from the windmill region be-
cause they can't pay their board bill.
In an effort to evade it, which calls
for a sensational sortie from a ga
bled window, they are captured by
the Burgomaster and put to work,
one as waiter and the other as an
interpreter. The Burgomaster |

MINING INSTITUTES" in
THE ANTHRACITE REGION

FOR a separate instintute for Poles
The two representative of the Y. NJ
c. A. spent three days, a week or Sc
| ago, going through the mines with {
state mine inspector seeking to in
terest the foreigners. The result o.
the tour was most gratifying. The
foreigners expressed their intention
to take advantage of the institutes
wherever these were established.
The Pittston meeting was address
ed by speakers in three foreign
tongues-Polish, Italian and Lithuan
ian. At the close of Prof. Monroe:
lecture the Y. NJ. C. A. mining work
secretary took the platform and asked
how many of the foreigners had un
derstood the lecturer. About seven
ty-five of the foreigners raised their
hands. The secretary then asked
how many would like to have instruc.
ton in English; in reply to This,
twenty men raised their hands. As
a result of the meeting, the associa-
ton at Pittston will take immediate
steps to supply facilities to the men
who want to learn English.
Companies Favor Work.
The superintendent, engineers,
and foremen of the anthracite compa-
MES heartily favor the educational
work undertaken by the Y. NJ. C. A.
They come into direct contact with
the men and have occasion to see
just how urgently the movement in
the labor force is needed.
Arrangements for the cooperation
of the Pennsylvania State College in
lecture course have just been COM
pleted. The mining department of
the college is to prepare a series of
lectures on each of the phases of the

FOUR MILES AN HOUR.
Not So Easy To Walk at That Rate
as Many Persons Imagine.

There is nothing that the average
person believes more implicitly than
that he can walk four miles in an
hour easily. Almost any one will say ::
I'VE were out walking for an hour and
half to-day. Let me see, four miles
an hour; that makes six miles we
went" and he is convinced that is the
ground his party covered.
That same average person has only
to try to walk four miles in sixty min.
utes to discover that it is good stiff
going. There are many more folks
who cover three mile in the time when
they think they are going at the rate
of mile better than there are who
actually know the pace they are max.
ing.
1t is an easy thing to determine.
For instance, one man started at 10th
street, on Central Park West, and
walked down alongside the park. He
noted the time on his watch when he
started and swung along at gait that
he fondly believed was mile in ten
minutes. That, for instance, would
average what mile runner would
make when he was fairly new to the
game, but he would have to have
trained for time to do that.
The walker didn't take out his
watch until he had reached Nine.
teenth street, the end of his first mile.
Then he looked. 1t was fifteen min
utes almost to the second when he
ended that mile.
This was little of a shock, espec-
tally as there were only couple of
crosswalks in the way and there was
a nice stretch of gravel path along
side the pavements on which to walk.
But he started off again for the Sec
ond mile. This time he walked stead.
lily, using his hips, and eventually got
striding at a CLIP that convinced him
be was going at least four minutes
better than the other time. At Seven.
tieth street the memorable watch
showed fourteen minutes for the sec.
ond mile.
"And then | was all out" said the
walker, and l made up my mind
wouldn't try to make time for the rest
of my walk down town. Those two
miles in twenty-nine minutes were
about my best. Perhaps could have
done the two in a little better, but to
go on for two more would have pulled
the average down. 1t taught me some
thing about that four miles an hour

said this she disappeared.
Marguerite went home and did as
the fairy told her.
The next day there was a sheep lost
and her uncle beat her. but she felt
no sting from the blows. For two or
three days this went on. Marguerite
lost a sheep every day. The sheep
always wandered back before night.
Marguerite took the beating without
a whimper She cooked her uncle's
favorite meals and kissed him every
night.
AS time went on the uncle began to
be less cruel and after while he began
to love his little niece.
The sheep did not wander off any
more.
For many years Marguerite kept
house for her uncle, whom she loved
dearly and was dearly loved by him.

Marguerite was at first frightened
at this lady. but after they had been
together a few minutes and had learned
each others names, they became very
friendly.
The beautiful lady was Flora, the
fairy of the flowers, and she led Mar
guerite to a large bunch of flowers,
put her hand into the middle of the
bunch. and lol it turned into a door
surrounded by all kinds Of beautiful
flowers.
Flora turned the knob and opened
the door "Come in, my little lady,
she said. Marguerite. amazed at the
sight, could not speak. Flora took her
by the hand and led her into beauti-

a nice blazing fire within 1t.
Then Flora prepared a fine lunch
