the shadow of the house would shift
around somewhat, and then Balkins
had to get up and move his chair into
the shadow again. And nothing he
could say would make the widow tote
his meals out to him-he just had to
brace up and walk into the house for
them at meal time, or go without. But
he was pretty reasonably happy. He
said he would sit there in the shade
and slumber, and when be wearied of
that he would sit there and doze, and
between times he would get a little
change by sitting there and sleeping.
Balkins said he couldn't imagine but
one thing that might snnil his han
piness, which was that the house
might take fire and burn down, and
then there would be no shadow of 1t
for him to sleep in, and he said he
had awful Nightmares right there in
the daytime, dreaming he was trying
to save the shadow of the house, and
the shadow slowly disappearing as
the house burned, and then he would
awaken and find that the sun had
moved around and was shining on
him. and he would have to get UP and
90 to all the exertion Of moving his
rocking chair into the shadow again.
Along about August 9Th, when the
sun was at its hottest, Baikins was
sitting there in the shadow of the
house when n Of those awful Colo
RADIO winds came up. Bin! It came,
with the ~suddenness of an explosion.
and struck the house full force, and
the FIRST thing Balkins knew the house
was sailing away through the air. He
said that for a minute he could hardly

Parliament a Refuge.

Down to 60 years ago a seat in the
British parliament was a prize much
sought for by men who found them,
selves beset by importunate creditors,
inasmuch a IS in those times no civil
action for debt could be brought
against an M. P. When a dissolution
occurred, this privilege of curse was
automatically annulled, a fact OF
which the creditors fastened to take
full advantage. Drisraeli once wrote
that the only way to keep some men
"out of the house of correction was
to get them into the house of com

hitched 1t onto the loose edge of the
shadow and drove the ox-team in the
direction of the house. At first the
shadow seemed to be following all
right, but when he got about half way
to the house he saw he was mistaken;
the shadow was not following, it was
fastened tight to the earth at the other
long and thin, like a sheet of rubber.
But he goaded the oxen on, and drove
up to the house, and nailed the end
of the shadow to the side of the house.
1t wasn't much of a shadow in that
shape. 1t was stretched out half a
mile long, and correspendingly a
row, but Balkins said he thought he
could make IL do, Tor il was wide
enough to set a rocking chair In.
But that night a terrible thing hap
pened. The widow heard a noise in
the chicken coop and got up to see
what was the matter, and just as she
stepped on the shadow the far end Of
1t came loose and 1t snapped like a
rubber band. Balkins said II snapped
up against the house with q noise like
a cannon. Naturally a shadow that
has been stretched half a mile and
then suddenly loosened at the far end
would do that. 1t completely killed
the widow; killed her thoroughly, II
struck her so hard, and broke the
rocking chair, and Balkins says that
when he went out and raw that rock
Ing chair all smashed, he didn't have
the heart to remain, and he come
away.
He told Uncle Ashdod that the only
thing he had left OF those happy days
was a small piece Of the shadow he
cut on al a memento. 1t locked to

ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

Last Tuesday about five o'clock Bal
kins Schwartz, who was at one time
enc of Betzville's most respected leis-
u~re-classists, walked up to Uncle Ash
dod Clootz's back door and asked for
five dollars. He said that If he
couldn't have that he would willingly
accept a square meal, a pair of shoes,
ing gum hat might be sticking on the
underside of a chair or table. He
finally compromised on a chew of fine
cut tobacco. From the story told to
Uncle Ashdod we judge that Balkins
has been having a hard time of it
since he left Betzyille and went west.
Uncle Ashdod happened to remark
that Balkans was so thin he hardly
cast a shadow, and Balkins immediate
ly burst into tears. He said he
couldn't bear to hear a shadow men
toned after what had happened to
him in Colorado.
Balkins said that as soon as he
struck Colorado he knew he was in
Gods country, and he decided he
would settle down there If he could
find anyone that would feed and lodge
him free gratis, and give him clothes
for nothing, and the first week he
was there he found the right widow,
and they were married In June, and
Balkins settled right down to work
at his job, which was pulling a rock
ing chair into the shadow Of the house
and dropping off comfortably to sleep
between meals. He said he liked the
Job first rate, except that the sun out
there keeps moving all the time, and

lance to get in the shadow again, but
the next moment he realized that he
settle down about a half a mile away,
1t away. He says he saw the house
was still in the shadow of the house.
Yes, sir, he says 1t was a fact, he was
still in the shadow of the house! He
said he did not try to account for IL
at first, but in a minute he figured
that the shadow must have been very
loosely attached to the house, and
that when the wind struck the house
1t was blowing so high that 1t did not
touch the shadow al all, but just
wrenched the house loose from the
shadow, and left the low-lying shad.

At first, Balkins says, he was mighty
pleased-mighty pleased-because he
did not have to nov his rocking
chair, but the next moment he began
to weep, for he saw that he would
have to walk all the way to the house
every meal time, and then walk the
half mile to the shadow for his nap,
and If it came to that, he might as
well be tramping again. He says he
put up with it for a week, for the
widows sake, and tramped back and
forth between the house and the shad.
ow three times a day, and then he got
sick of it. He said he felt that a To-
cation half a mile away from a house
was no place for a houses shadow,
and he was looking at the shadow
moodily one day when he noticed that
the shadow was curling up a little
at one edge, and that gave him an
idea. SO he got the OK team and

that, should the inner tube give way,
the damage will not extend to the
