Billings waved his hand to the

The trump kind of glared down the
deserted vista of the fine old hall and

He caught my arm. In the interest
of this investigation of scientific nhe-

friend, Mr. Billings?"
ITS all right, you know, | gently

him-going right there. Just a i<tie

BY Jove, the way he cackled made
my heart achei I whispered TO Jen-

ladies. But the first thing We saw as
the cage hit the bottom was wom-

China!
She gave little scream and fell on
Billings neck, almost bearing him to
the ground.
"oh, Jacky, Jacky!" she sobbed.

Worse? Why, dash 1t, she kissed

And to see him standing there. kind

looking like girl does when she's
trying a strange piece Of candy out OF

No wonder he was crazy! Why,
dash it, he would have to be crazy!
He was muttering to himself.
"Remarkable!" | heard. Singular

And then he very deliberately took
her head between his hands and
kissed her Then he looked upward
thoughtfully and did it again-hke
chicken drinks water-you know!
And then while we-that Is, Jen-

on, out came the notebook again and
he scrubbed rapidly, muttering audi

We punched blankets and rugs about

by you and hold your poor hand%'
It looked as if he would.
The trump turned to me. Can you

His fat head pecked at the glass

LABOR MEN LIKE QUICK

Washington, Dec. 6.-Friends of
P~resident.elect Wilson, who are inter.
ested in the personnel OF his cabinet,
state that the rumor that Herbert
Quick, editor OF one of the leading
agricultural journals OF the country,
will be selected for the department
OF agriculture seems to be meeting
with high approval from the labor
and farming interests of the country.
Mr.. Quick is not only a leading agri-
cultural editor and authority, but he
is one of the most versatile men who
have been mentioned for the cabinet.
He has had much political experience,
is a lawyer of ability, and we'll known
as a writer. He has written half a
dozen novels, which have taken their
place among the best sellers.
Mr.. Quick formerly lived at Sioux
City, la. He was prominent in politics
there and was repeatedly elected
mayor on the democratic ticket. He
also took a prominent part in state
politics.
