 "Oh, I m the same little. old person, you may be sure,' she answered sweety.

John" | 'I'm sure 1 will" said he proudly. .When are they coming?" 1 Say the middle of next week.

lawsuits he had been engaged in since their marriage.
 Toward noon the telepnone rang furious
 ly, and MT. Bride announced that It might
 be impossible for him to get home for din-
 ner that evening on account of some out | of-town lawyers whom he had to see rela- | tive to the big case he was interested in. but of course if she minded. why he'd
 just chuck the game and come home. l "Boo-hooi'' was all heaheard over the
 wires.
 Please don't" he begged. .I'll come, or
 better still. why not ask the Smiths to l postpone their dinner engagement" 1 What? At this hour to commit such a breach of etiquette? Besides Mrs. Smith probably has nothing to eat as she ex- pected to be our guest this evening"" said Mrs. Bride.
 Well accidents will happen" he re- ! monstrated. 'The cook failed to show up that's the best excuse in the world, and | then your husband probably can't be pres ent-that's another perfectly good ex- cuse, so why not?' No; I've got to face the music" she sobbed. You spoil me too much as 1t is, John, and I'm too dependent on you now, so this time I'll just go on and do my best without you. So
 On she went, bravely trying to carry out her duty plans.
 w While Mrs. May Bride was perspir- ing and worrying over things and won dering how it would all turn out the phone rang again briskly.
 Hello" Mrs. Bride answered in a bright and cheery voice
 This is Mrs Smith," the voice at the other end of the phone announced.
 I'm awfully sorry to have to decline your dinner invitation at this late hour but one of my small boys has bad case of measles and I can't leave him tonight. He has very high tempera- ture and the doctor has already been here twice today"
 "Of course, I understand perfectly" said Mrs. Bride. in voice of rejoicing which Mrs. Smith must have been rath- CT stupid not to have detected We are terribly disappointed, but Pm sure no hostess would fail to understand that sickness is something over which we have absolutely no control. l do hope the little fellow will soon be we'll" Oh what joy. what blissl Mrs. Bride experienced as she dropped Into a big arm chair and fairly cried with delight! She too a new lease on life. What did she care, if the cook did ! fail to come that morning? 1 What did she care if John was in m old law suit that tied him up all day and kept him way into the night. ] Only one thing sang in her ears and the glad refrain was: 1 The Smiths aren't comingi The Smiths aren't comingl The Smiths aren't coming."

1 Never a word had she phoned to MT. | Bride about the dinner guests and when he came in that evening at his ! accustomed time Mrs. Bride ruhing to meet him flung her arms about him and nearly squeezed him to death.
 What on earth is the matter?' le asked, curiously. Has somebody died
 and left us fortune?"
 No she cried. The Smiths aren't coming, The Smiths aren't coming l Isn't that grand?" "Oh" he sighed as he mopped his face and flung himself Into the swing on the front porch-for he'd never gotten any further
 One of the Smith babies has the measles" she told him, and could scarcely keep a straight face as she conveyed the sad @ intelligence. l Wasn't 1t perfectly sweet of that dearl-
 ing child to be so accommodating?
 I'm surprised at you. Annie" Mir. Bride said with a twinkle in his eye 1 Well, I'm that grateful to him that
 I'm going to send him the brand newest Japanese puzzle that I can find in this town" she declared
 | T knew it would turn out all right said Mir. Bride, and I have even better
 news than that for you. l won my case and got verdict for s10.000, and didn't have to stay away from dinner either. I'm hungry as wolf. too? Is there anything to eat Mrs. Cook?" | "Of course there Is, you darling," she cried and hugged him tight I've been
 cooking all day-thinking the Smiths
 were coming. And oh, John. does win
 ming that case mean we'll get our own home now?"

plunge into the wilderness again for
two months. In Shasta county, ap-
proximately 116 miles from San Fran
cisco, he is going to leave civilization
and, without clothes, without pack
or bag or human utilities of any kind
other than those nature blessed him
with, is going to live as our forefat theirs
away back there in dim obscurity,
lived, says Richard Milton in the
Rocky Mountain News Of Denver.
He is going to kill the meat he eats.
He is going to fashion the clothes he
wears. He is going to depend absolute
ly again on his own resourcefulness,
his own knowledge of the wilds and
his own ingenuity.
And he hopes to prove even more
than he proved by his last adventure,
he says. This time he means to find
the ways and means for manufactur
ing things he requires.
Will Show Man Can Advance.
Knowles means to prove to the world
that man not only can sustain life
alone, unserved by modern conven-
plane, solve the intricacies Of nature
and take from her all that he needs to
maintain an even higher existence than
mere eating and breathing and having
being.
Knowles is a scientist, an artist and
a writer. he lives in Boston. One night
nearly year ago he was sitting with
a group Of friends in his Boston club.
They were talking Of the ease Of mod
ern living, with its modes Of transpor-
tation, it's means Of communication,
the wireless, the telegraph. The Won
ders of the modern age were talked
OF from every angle, and interlarding
the conversation often were compari-
sons of the life today to that of other
generations.
Knowles ventured the belief, rather
asserted the knowledge, that man to-
day, robbed of all those aids to COM
Portable living, could rise above his
deprivation and sustain life after some
fashion or other. They laughed at
him. He repeated his assertion and
followed it up with the threat that if
they persisted in their nonbelief he
would go on and prove it to them just
to show them they didn't know what
they were talking about.
It ended in their escorting him to
the edge Of the great Maine woods in
the Dead river region, near Somer-
set. Divested Of all clothing, holding
nothing in his hands, he babe them
goodby and plunged into the darkness
Of the woods. They did not see him
again for sixty-one days.
Then he emerged clad in bearskln,
and from bare skin to bearskin he had
lived as no modern man has lived.
Alone in the great, silent woods he
fought for his food.
Lays Trap For a Bear.
he killed bear by digging trench,
letting the bear fall into it and then
clubbing it to death. He lived on Der
ries and on meat Of wild animals he
killed. J..
he built his fire in the primitive way,
rubbing sticks together until sparks
few. He fashioned a home of twigs
He brayed the wild animals, made
them his friends, clothed himself
found comfort in smoking the leaves
OF trees in place of his much loved
cigarette and amused himself by writ
ing his experiences and illustrating

UOsEPH KNOWLES, he Of atavic

JOSEPH KNOWLES, he Of atavic
understanding, was a Denver
~ visitor recently. The name is
fresh in the worlds mind. It
was Joseph Knowles who did what
modern man, fettered by modern con-
Reniences, conventions and ease Of liv-
ing, declared could not be done. He
returned to the primitive, lived two
months in the deep wilderness Of the
Maine woods as our primitive ancestors
lived and emerged none the worse for
wear, upsetting theories and beliefs
the modern world had, in the blind
ness Of modern life, maintained. His
experiences are wildly told in "Alone
In the Wilderness 49,
That was last October, and now
Knowles is on his way to California to
