thought. Certainly, neither hurried away ID
hail passing friend as ths finger bowls APP
preached.
The furry gentleman, pleading e business
appointment, took himself away after tho SEQ
ond liqueur.
"If you're stubborn and really don't mean
to tell me where your estate is, won't try TO
hunt you out" were his last words. But 1
should think you'd have me out for week end.
I'm curious, frankly"
Curious, too, were the other friends that tbs
Old Gentleman Who Loves the Country came
upon in the lobby of the theatre that night
and here, there and everywhere about town on
the third and last day Of his stay. But nos
one Of them did he invite TO his Westchester
retreat.
On the morning Of the fourth day the old
gentleman packed his large trunk and his
small one, tucked the rest Of his belongings
into the satchels and sutcases, and moved In
orderly fashion toward home, after momens
with tho cashier.
The same grinning porter picked him up as
he climbed from the taxi and struggled of
with the luggage. The old gentleman-and
here comes the secret Of his later life-boughs
a ticket for East View, checked through his
trunks and paid the excess. Then he pur-
chased two perfectos, at 20 cents each, picked
up a magazine, handed the obliging porter 90
cents "a quarter, two dimes and three nckels)
and settled himself in the smoker.
East View is little more than an hour out,
The train, leisurely traversng rolling coun-
try dotted with more or less pretentious resi-
dences, dropped the old gentleman off at ~
undistinguished station. With even less for-
mality his trunks were dropped after him or
Of the baggage car.
It seemed the return Of the prodlgal was un-
expected. Neither car nor rig was at the sta
tion but that didn't seem to worry him.
Leaving the trunks as they lay, he walked q
short distance down tie road that sloped away
from the station. For part Of the way the
road was lined with stone wall, and when ne
came to an transformations gate In this wall
the Old Gentleman Who Loves the Country
turned in.

This reminds one of the song. 81

Again Mary Johnstons melancholy

now as they did seventeen years ago.

Seventeen years is an inconsiderable
period as measured by human evolu-
ton. 1t is nothing in

AND STIR" But in the style OF
woman's hat or of a
novel it is tremendously long time.
In the current "Bookman" are tables
showing the best selling novel for each
month. beginning with January, 1900.
It is a long list, over 200 books. Most
Of the older books on the list are only
vague memories now. Some of the au-
thors are all but forgotten. Of the
writer's who figured as best sellers SIX
teen or seventeen years ago, only two
still maintain themselves on the list to-
day. They are Winston Churchill and
Booth Harrington. 1t is a survival OF
the fittest.
Seventeen years ago the Colonial ro-
nance was all the mode, eked out by
medieval tales of the mordieu-pardieu
school. Janice Meredith" "To Have
and To Hold" "Alice of Old Vincennes,'
"The Helmet of Navarro" Audrey"
Dorothy Vernon"-these are some OF
the old best sellers.
In their pages the swords clash gal
liant gentlemen fare forth on brave ad-
ventures; life seems a cheap and trivial
matter to them, but they take love Sc
riously enough. Action there Is, at any
cost. What if Janice Meredith is
ninny? What if Mary Johnston's In
tense lovers sometimes strain our
credulity? What if Miss Runkle's hero,
the Comte de Mar, is bit defective In
the bean, and many of his fellow noble
men are ridiculous gunner? The tales
the thing, and it rushes us through the
pages by the very force of its buster.
Sometimes the craving for action
overreaches itself, as in this passage
from "The Helmet of Navarro" in
the chapter entitled '1'H Win My
Lady!-

Comte de Mar Lwho had been seriously

SWEEPINGS FROM lNkPOI ALLEY

peace quiet thankfulness, a springtime Of
the heart-not riotous like May, but fair
and grave and tender. Our lips met again,
and then, with my arm around her, we
moved to the giant pine beneath which
stood the minister.
The style has changed now. We de-
mand less solemnity in our love-maklng
and more in our fighting. The old best
sellers have vanished. They have even
disappeared from the shelves of the pub
lie libraries. Nobody writes romantic
fiction of that type any longer, and II
any one did no one would read it. We
have all become realistS-Of sorts
some say because Of the Russians and
others because Of the movies. And our
principal literary fodder, according to
the best seller lists of the past year, Is
Gene Stratton-Porter's Michael O'Hal-
loran," Eleanor H. Porter's Gust
David" and when a Mans Man." by
Harold Bell Wright.
Underlying the sugar and sentiment
tally of these best sellers Of to-day Is
a brisk sense of reality. Mr.. Wright
would as soon think of leaping from the
top of the Grand Canyon as he would
think of having one Of his cowboys
mount his horse from the wrong side.
Details Of the life of her street waif
given by Gene Stratton-Porter are UNI
improbable. The farm folk that adopt
Eleanor H. Porter's child genius are
real people.
In setting these books are totally I'M
like their romantic predecessors. But
in the end the formula is the same:
add plenty of sugar and STIR" Our
latter day popular writers do not stir
as much as the older ones. That is to
say, their stories are shorter and more
clean cut. But some Of them, more's
the pity, seem to be adding more sugar.
Sentimentality is still the secret of the
recipe. 1t makes little difference
whether 1t be applied to our Colonial
forebears and to dukes and kings, or to
street waits and juvenile prodgies and
the uncrowned noblemen Of our West
ern country.
There is nothing to indicate that to-
days best sellers will live longer than
those of seventeen years ago. He would
be brave critic who would call them in
the main better books. But for the
lover of literature there is some hope in
looking over the recent list of best sell
ers. The list in the May "Bookman"

H. F. WICKHAM MADECRAIN MARKET TOBE
RECORD FOR CAPE ESTABL SHED HERE
Clyde Vandivort Urges CONNER
cial Club to Heed Wants of
Cape County Farmers.

Cape Girardeau will have a grain
market in the near future as a result
of the suggestion of Clyde Vandivort
in the meeting of the Commercial Club
last night. A committee of which
Mr.. Vandivort was named chairman,
and Sam Sherman and r. f. L. Lam
kin were made the other members, has
been placed in charge of the preiim
mary work for the establishment of
the grain market.
In asking for the new market Mr..
Vandivort explained the poor market
conditions of the city. Corn, he said,
was bringing from s1.10 to s1.I5 a
bushel in this city while in ether
towns of Southeast Missouri, the same
product was being sold by the far
mers at Sl.150 a bushel. This was
due to the poor market conditions OF
the city.
Many farmers, Mr.. Vandivort said,
were seen lately to take their corn
back to the farms when they were
offered such a low price for their pro-
duct. Farmers living near McClute,
Ill. were receiving a far better price
for their corn than they were offered
by the local dealers and for that rca-
son all farmers on the east side were
avoiding the Cape when they wanted
to dispose of their grain and ahy.
The committee was asked to make
an investigation as to the location of
the market and the probability of or
ganizing stock company to establish
the new market. They will make their
report at the Commercial Club at tn.
next meeting Friday evening.
