PASSING THE HAT
SETTLES LAWSUIT

Up at Sherbrook the other day dis
trict court was in session; jury had
been impanneled when matters shaped
so that Judge Pollock thought he saw
indications that a settlement might
be made. Accordingly he withdrew
into chambers with the contestants
and their attorneys.
After discussion they were just
$14.5O apart, and there they stuck.
Finally the Judge offered to pay $3.50
if each litigant would pay the other
$5-but they wouldn't do it. Each had
come to the limit.
every we'll them" said the judge,
1--WE will proceed to trial." and 50 he
called them back into the court room,
Remembering the beatitude regarding
peacemakers, however, he determined
to try again.
Gentlemen" said he, "these liti-
giants are within $14.5O Of settling
without the necessity of lawsuit.
Each refuses to pay any part of that.
Now, rather than 60 thru with the
suit, I'll pay $3.50 of this; who will
pay a part ?"
Court Stenographer Taylor opined
that he'd take about $3.50 worth of
that, and various others followed the
judges lead until he lacked only $3.50,
whereupon the judge, whose Method
ist proclivities are widely known, de-
clared, "I'm going to pass the hat
among the jurors for that $3.50; l be-
lieve they'll pay it"
"Hold on" cried one of the parties
to the suit who couldn't stand it any
more, and they got together and
divided it between them.
So there was no lawsuit. Solomon
didn't have 80 dreadfully much on

4 GAME OF HEARTS
BY cLARlssA MAck,E.

=
The Willow Plate Tea Room was
Q cozy little bungalow with gayly
striped awnings and verandas set
with many little tables, and great
room inside all done In blue and white,
with border Of willow-pattern plates.
The growing purr Of a high-powered
motor came through the open case

stopped at the gate Of the Willow
Plate Tea Room.

went into the little kitchen and re-

enameled tables. He was far from
being an ill-looking specimen of mas
culinity. although his clean-cut fea-
lures were sternly set. He did not
glance up when Ellis placed glass of
water before him,
"You may bring me-" he said de-.
nberately, "a poached egg on toast"
and, turning away his head, he looked
out of the window.
Elsie hesitated and then marched
stffhy OF to the kitchen. Once there
she shook her fist at the back of the
unoffending stranger.
"Poached egg! And It's the one par
ticular thing that I can't make!" she
groaned.
Three trips she made into the tea
room-once to set tempting pats Of
butter and the pot of tea before the
patron, again to serve him with the
burned bit Of toast on which was
sprawled the yellow, leathery-looking
egg. The third trip was in answer to
his summons.
please bring me another egg" he
said in tone OF polite weariness.
"This one seems-er-er-rather over
done"
Elsie Wayne always remembered
that August afternoon as a perfect
nightmare Of eggs that refused to be
poached and Of endless trips into the
tea room to present her trophies to
the grim-visaged young man at the
table.
Invariably he waved her offerings
away, always with that look Of bored
patience.
From distant table Elsie brought
the plate Of pink-and-white heart
shaped cakes. These delectable NOR
sells were favorites with Mrs. Burton's
patrons. =

"It is not worth mending-hearts
are all alike" she said, and, gather
ing up his dishes, she disappeared
kitchenward.
She cleared q place on the table,
set the egg poacher In its receptacle

She almost shrieked with Joy when
she laid the buttered toast on the

She had achieved triumph. It
was even more beautiful than any.

The kitchen door swung behind
her little young form; in her out
stretched hands she carried the silver
tray and set before him the perfect
poached egg.

of doing it," she said.
That's good" he said.
Hadn't you better eat it while It's
hot?" she suggested.
He proceeded to eat slowly, Elsie
watching each morsel as it vanished
between his well-cut lips.
"Is 1t good?" she would ask. and
always he nodded. When the blue
platter was cleared he looked up sud
