reader, not to say reviewer, may
have need himself OF the easygoing
traits of his hero, for Mr.. Hay has
lately taken up two dangerous pas
times, motoring and politics. he
writes as follows to an American
friend:

capsizing my motor on the way back
from Oban. / was driving along a
Highland glen and rounding sharp
corner when suddenly | realized that

The horse suddenly veered, dashing
on at breakneck speed towards q
sharp decline in the highway. Peril
menaced In a flash Bob was OH
sharp run, aiming to head off the run
away steed. There was only one thing
to do, Bob found, as he neared the
runaway-this was to describe quick
leap, land directly on the back Of the
horse and pull him to sharp halt
right at the edge of pit where de-
struction loomeG.
Some men came running from the
field. They knew the old man. He
was simply stunned and they carried
him into the house near by and the
two friends went on their way and
forgot the episode.
Tom was staked by his friend and a
clean brisk campaign Of publicity
commenced. It was quite successful.
One day Bob went to visit person
said to be the richest man in the viii
lage-Ezra BARLEY.
He had heard that the old man was
misery and difficult to approach. The
minute he appeared at the door OF his
house, however, his keen ferret eyes
scanned Bob closely
"See here" he observed, from de-
scription you are young man I've
been inquiring about. You are the fell
low who stopped my runaway horse
the other day and probably saved my
life"
ooh, not so serious as that" dis
claimed Bob modestly.
I'm the judge of that" retorted the
old man in his characteristic terse
way. "Now then, what can / do for
your"
Bob told of the write-up proposition,
to which his host listened rather I'm
patiently.
"Humph!" he observed. 1--WE Aot

scheme. owe you good deal, though.
and if you will not garble it, I'll gu in
for column. I'm rather proud OF my
old family history, although today
have neither kith nor kin in all the
wide world"
Mr.. BARLEY began the history OF his
life. 1t had sad shade. He had be-
come separated from his relatives
while making fortune. He had re-
turned from distant country to find
them scattered, dead, lost. He had
not been able to find one near Of kin
living
"My sister Elsie, who was Mrs.
Prothero," began Mr.. BARLEY, and Bob
stopped him excitedly to tell him of
the friendless orphan, Elsie Prothero,
whom he knew.
1t took only few days to prove
that old Mr.. BARLEY had found near
and dear relative. He felt too CRATE
full to Bob not to see him started in
business on good way. AS to Ethel
although an heiress now, she was
true to the hero of her humber days.

Uncertainty must always be the por-

palatable food in the world, and yet
spoil more of it in the kitchen than
any other country, or all other coun-
tries"
So says DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the
pure food expert.
Exempting his own wife, whom he
said he acquired late in life," he
declared that American women, as a
whole, are "the worst cooks in the
world"
Good food and good cooking are
preventiveS of divorce" asserted DR..
Wiley. Last summer he sampled the
menu Of French peasants, and from
that experience was born this ques-
ton.

France? =

we could all live much longer than
we're going to-"
DR.. Wiley advocated the removal Of
manufacturing plants from cities to
rural districts as the best solution of
the problem of urban congestion. If
this were done, he thinks, the cost of
living would not soar so high, for the
lessened congestion would help solve
the question of distribution of the
country's abundant food supply and
thus bring down prices.

TRUE TO THE HERO
BY MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD

"Hello!" hailed one young man,
crawling out of the side of haystaclS
and facing another young man, just
emerged from a second stack ten feet
away.
$50 you've been enjoying free bed,
too, eh?" was the laughing challenge.
Then both proceeded to unwisp the
hay from their clothing and brush the
timothy seed from their hair. The
toot-toot of threshing machine in a
field near by aroused those of the
birds not yet awake and had signaled
to the two wayfarers that new day
was on it's way.

Tom Martin, carelessly-"all sorts and

They were two bright, clean, lively
young fellows, just started out in life.
Both had served an apprenticeship as
cub reporters. Then a great write-up

and the hungry army found them
selves stranded.
These two had Unexpectedly met,
and under peculiar conditions. Tom
regarded his companion with a quizzi-

produce broken cigar, which he pro-
ceeded to enjoy with difficulty.

For a long while he sat there, his
