Arkansaw

There are many Indiana men,
Who in some units saw,
A great financial dealing
Way down in ArkansaW.
Some knockers thought them foolish;
They made bad mistake;
But if we are mulelsh,
There some more would partake.
But units in this deal are past,
No more can get chance
To buy unit in MackinaW,
So don't kick of your pants.
Mr. Denison is gentleman,
And so is Mr.. Hardy.
You knockers that are knocking them
Consider yourself tardy.
The land is in the cotton belt,
Which everybody knows,
And takes you down to Mackinaw
Where hogs and cattle grow.
Let's all US unit holders
Now form a happy band;
Go down there to Mackinaw
And occupy this land.
Some of our friends will follow soon
To buy themselves home;
To settle down in Mackinaw
And help keep up the boom.
We will all go there with good intent
And help each other out.
And have a town upon the map
That all can read about.
This writer is a carpenter
And has been on the ground,
And after June the twentieth
In Mackinaw can be found.
To figure on your bungalow.
A garage or barn,
If built in the town OF Mackinaw
Or on some nearby farm.

"A Man and His Wife


Switching off her light, she went
into the hall. John stood there under
the chandelier, reading the evening
paper. He was always reading the
morning or evening paper, the wife
thought fretfully. She had never
known another man SO addicted to the
newspaper habit But where was the
slip of paper she had imagined him
as still scrutinizing? He must have
put it in his pocket as soon as he
glanced at it. Why had he been in
such a hurry to do so?
WELL" said John, joining her as
she went toward the dining room,
how are things? Did you get Mrs.
Ferris on the phone, and did she agree
to have you without your husband"
He spoke merrily, carelessly, as If he
had nothing especially on his mind.
Evidently he thought of that person
waiting somewhere for him to obey
his Cor herr suggestion did not trouble
him.
"Yes," Isabel replied, II got her on
the phone, and she wants me to come
even though you can't She is sorry
you have to be absent"
"She is very kind" John remarked.
II am sorry to have made her alter the
arrangement Of her table.
"Oh, she can get a man in your
place." the wife told him. she asked
me if there was not some friend OF
mine I would care to suggest"
"Of course, there isn't" John re-
piled quickly 1T would be much bet
ter for your hostess to supply one OF
her own friends"
Perhaps" Isabel shrugged her
shoulders. It was plain that John did
not approve of the idea of her select
ing the man who would take his place
at the table. She changed the sub
ject. She did not care to raise the
issue. Under some conditions it might
be awkward to have John forbid her
inviting her own escort.
Isabel Tries
Counter Irritant.
Dinner over, John took his hat and
coat from the rack. II am going to
run out to the cigar store,' he explain
ed. Il will be back in ten minutes"
Was he going out to telephone? 1t
so, why? She must know.
John" she said impulsively, didn't
Cynthia tell you that some one wanted
you to call up as soon as you got
home? She took the number down"
She felt a little sick as she saw him
flush. "Oh, yes" he replied, "she
gave me the number all right. But
there's no hurry about it."
She would ask no more. She knew
he would not telephone from here.
When he was gone out, she went to
the instrument and called for "Infor-
nation
please tell me-" she said, ''the
name of the subscriber whose number
is Riverside 10O76."
She waited, her nerves Quivering,
until the answer came in crisp accent.
The subscriber at Riverside 1o076
is Mrs. A. L. Simmons
Thank you" Isabel faltered.
But her voice was firm when, ten
minutes later, she called Cynthia. Il
want you to mail letter for me when
you go out" she said. The letter was
only a short note to Ida Ferris saying
the writer would be glad to have Mr..
David Duval invited in her husband
place for next Wednesday. Then fol.
lowed his address which Isabel Hamil-
ton had just looked up in the tele-
phone directory.

CHAPTER XIII.
Isabel Hamilton did not analyze the
impulse that had led her to return
to her maid the telephone number OF
the person who had called up. The
wife did not even inquire If the un
known was a man or q woman. Some
thing, possibly q subtle sense of honor
prevented her from asking a single
question. She could not inquire Of a
domestic about things that concerned
her husband. Even jealousy and sus
picion could not make her do that, she
told herself.
Yet was she jealous or suspicious:
Was 1t not entirely natural that some
business acquaintance should call
John up at his home? Such things
had happened before. But some how
she shrank from handing the tele
phone number to John. She would
rather have Cynthia do this. OF course
John would mention the matter to his
wife, and perhaps she wanted to fee
that she would do this without any
actual necessity for his doing so. II
she gave him the paper he nigh fee
that she expected an explanation. Was
she, unconscicusly to herself, putting
him to a test?
Soon she heard the front door open
and Johns voice calling her name
When she answered he came to heI
room and kissed her affectionately
Cynthia, busy in the kitchen, would
doubtless mention the telephone mat
ter to him later. Isabel wished she
would do so soon and get it over with
She was ridicuously nervous about 1t
After moments chat John went into
the hall. leaving the door OF her room
open behind him. Thus it came about
that she overheard the maid speak tc
him as she emerged from the dining
room on her way to tell her mistress
that dinner was ready.
Good evepin', SIR" Cynthia said ir
reply to her employers perfunctory
Good evening" Somebody called yor

got de number on paper in de kitch
en-. I'll go fetch it."
So 1t was a woman after all! The
wife felt her heart sink, then she
pulled herself together ansrily. How
dare she suspect such good husband
as hers? The person who telephoneC
probably was the secretary or stenog
rapher OF some one of Johns business
acQuaintances. Surely that was it
Yet she still stood motionless in the
center of the room until Cynthia came
out of the kitchen again, bearing the
paper with her.
John Seems to Be
Especially Merry.
Here it is, SIR" Isabel heard hel
say.
Thank you" John murmured.
That was all. Even when Cynthia
remarked, Dinner served, SIR" be
said no more. Probably he was read
ing and re-reading that number. lisa
bell had not known that she remem
bered it, but now she recalled the
figures clearly-"Riverside 10076."
Riverside! That was the same cen
trail theirs! Then this person must live

Dinners served, ma'am."
Cynthia was in the doorway and
Isabel started violently.
