five trembling ladies have fiuttered

from just a casual survey of our mod
est establishment, but, sir. we have
harbored not only sentiment Of the
n~ative-born variety, but have encoun-

you ever chance to overhear a Polish
lover telling his hearts delight what

Gould anyone live in this particu-
lar suburb and not hear it," asked
the tall commuter sadly; but that is
not the kind OF sentiment to which l
refer. What l have in mind is the
sentiment that attaches to things or
places with which one has been asso-
ciated for a long time"
WELL" said the seatmatet. my ex.
perience Is this. I find that when |
have been associated with things a
long time. they wear out, and in nine
cases out OF ten the only sentiment
a scare up is intense annoyance.
Take my typewriter machine as a
case in point. The sentiments that
harbor for that hoary piece Of mech.
anism would melt the type. should
endeavor to reduce them to print"
MY wife and / went over to visit
her mother last night" said the tall
commuter. ignoring, after a happy
fashion all his own, his companions
remarks about his typewriter, "and
when we got there we saw as neat
a bit Of twentieth century callousness
as I ever laid my eyes on. All the
youths Of the neighborhood were
gathered In the family sitting room,
around one Of those 'horseless pianos
that my in.laws have just acquired.
AS the poets say, 10y reigned su-
preme.' They were waltzing and two
stepping. and singing and ~chorusing,
and committing ~offenses against
the laws Of harmony by their failures
to keep on the key than I can bear
to remember"
It's news to me that you are a
high-brow where music Is concerned"
said the skeptical listener.
II have the privilege Of knowing
what I like. haven't II" inquired the
upholder of sentiment loftily; but
as q matter OF fact, I did not start
this conversation for the purpose OF
revealing the capacity OF my younger
in-laws to commit musical murder"
"You make the same mistake every
day. don't you?" asked the fellow
traveller, innocently. "You always call
your monologues conversations. " The
tall commuter grinned. what l want
to show up is their inhuman indiffer-
ence to the faithful old piano that has
withstood their combined poundings.

piazza, where they had obligingly
rolled Il so as to facilitate the work
OF getting rid of Il when the firm
from which they had bought the new

square pianos than stand them out on

LIFE, LOVE AND LOGIC OF
PROFESSOR POL DORF.
BY IRVING n. BACON.
Betns the Adventures OF = Palm,


Never were the claims of a science
more completely and more irrefuta-
bly vindieated than those of palm
istrS the day the man with the graft
ed arm asked Professor Polydore to
read his hands.
Robert Foreman, a millionaire, had
lost his right arm in a railroad COL
lsion. John Lancaster. an orderly
IN the hospital to which Mr.. Fore
man was taken, had no cash but two
neaithy arms. So they swapped,
FOREMAN giving $4,000 and Lancaster
an arm. BY a rare surgical opera :
ton Lancaster's right arm was sue
cessfully grated upon Foreman's
stump. And, strangely enough, the
hand of the grated arm, as far as
any casual observer could discern.
was as like it's foster-hand as If the
two had belonged to each other as
twins by right of birth. And thus
II was with the exception of Lancas-
ter and the surgeon and a couple of
nurses, nobody ever suspected that
Mr.. Foreman was doing himself
proud with another mans arm.
Several years after the grating
process ii occurred TO Mr.. Foreman
that 1t would not be bad joke to
get Professor Polydore to read his
hands. The professor, at that time
being lionized at every prominent So
cial function. and Mr.. Foreman, who
Was one OF that class of liberal
thinkers, who condemn as absurd
everything which they cannot either
hear, smell, taste, feel or see, Row
saw an opportunity TO expose what
he called the ridiculous pretensions
of Professor Polydore' in a striking
" convincing manner. 1t was at one
of the famous Thursday night enter
tainmentS at the De Puyster We're
de -Neres that Mr.. Foreman with an
air of naughty condescension allowed
Professor Polydore to examine his
hands.
The Millionaire Hands.
81 suppose you arc going to tell me
to beware of designing widow and
that if | don't look out I'll marry a
nut-brown dairy maid" said the mil
lionaire with a pompous attempt at
raillery.
Polvdorc felt trife piqued. He
was honestly convinced of the sci
entific value of palmistry. and any
sneers leVeled at it grieved and
panied him most poignantly.
No. sir" he responded with be-
coming pride, ~ fear ! shall not be
able to tell you anything quite as
pleasant as that. In fact, from some
of the signs which cursory glance
have revealed | deem It my duty to
caution you not to have your hands
read in the presence of so many per-
sons

he held of his own Importance, Mr.

of Davies brown corduroy trou-

way to do it than iumpin' out o.

Davie face upward and sat him on
the front seat. Have ye a good.

Dear. I'D like to strap this bit o.

boosts pore old Jim out o. the
shafts intirely, no, ho. hot"
Red-faced and indignant, Davie
cried, you didn't have to pull me
up. ! could climb up myself and
you're too smart, SO there!"
SSH" Mother Dear reached for
ward and placed her hand over his
mouth, perhaps Henry saved your
life. If Jim had started you would
have gone under the wheel, or even
under Jim's hard hoofs."
"Well,' insisted Davie, wrath
fully, as soon as Mother Dear took
her hand away, "he didn't have to
pull me up by my pants" After
which he subsidized into sulky
silence. and the party started off,
with Laddie-dog scaInpering far
ahead, then standing still to wait
until Jim caught up with him, then
off through the bushes after
strictly imaginary rabbit.
"Laddie seems to think this eKcur-
sion was arranged expressly for
him. commented Father Dear, as
Laddie returned for the thirteenth
time and jumped up In silly effort
to bite Jim's nose, Il wish | had
little of his energy"
He's awful crazy" said Dorothy,
but, doesn't he look pretty, bless
his old heart" And the whole dear
Dear family agreed to this. Even
Davie came out of the sulks long
enough to state that Laddie was
his dog, and his own dog, and his
very own dog, SO there.

othy, her blue eyes sparkling, "and
We'll have such fun, such fun, such
fun. And We'll roast 'em tonight,
won't we, rnother?'

time and not worrying his good old

1t was just the right kind of a
day for chestnutting trip. The
air was crisp enough to make brisk
walking a pleasure, and the blue
haze of autumn hung over the
landscape, dimming the outlines of
the red and gold-dressed trees,
whose leaves hung motionless,
waiting for the November storm

lifsless, to the ground.
Overhead was sky of vivid blue
fecked here and there with iieecy
white clouds that made Dorothy
Dear pretend that the sky fairies
had been doing their weekly wash

She and Davie could hardly sit
through luncheon, so anxious We're
they to get started. They thought
that Mother and Father Dear had
never eaten so slowly.
'Henry's out in front, with the
horse all hitched up" volunteered
Davie, between bites of the bread
and butter which Mother Dear had
insisted upon his eating. "Jims

No, thank you. Can't | have my
dessert now, mother? Henry might
drive back to the barn if we don't
get there pretty soon" And Davie
wiggled anxiously in his chair.
Did you get the biggest bag for
me?D he asked a moment later,
Father Dear looked at Mother

ed smile. Two o'clock will be time
enough won't it?'
Davies face fell. But" he be-
gan, and a quivering lip prevented
him from finishing the sentence.
Mother Dear saw his disappoint-
ment, and reached over to pat his
hand.
"Daddy's only teasing" she told
the little boy, we're going to go
right straight away, and you shall
have the biggest bag of all for your
chestnuts."

Davie became impatient. But at
last the top of the hill was reached
and Henry was instructed to return
at half-past five.
Now. which way shall we start?"
asked Mother Dear, after she had
passed around the bags that were to
hold the chestnuts.
Yes. which way" cried Dorothy
and Davie together, hopping about
in great excitement.
Father Dear started briskly
toward a clump of trees. Follow
