losing both parents when child,
had taken in charge by an aunt in
Boston, who was totally incapable of
understanding the romantic, high
strung and rather self-willed nature
of the girl. Though only in moder-
ate circumstances, she sent Marian
away to a fashionable boarding
school to get her off her hands. The
girl came back, prettier, more attrac-
tice and, if anything, more Unman-
ageable than ever. At 10 the art
craze took possession of her, she
had visions of a career, and haunted
studios. One day she met Pollock,
whom a young novelist had brought
to a reception. The vivid, responsive
nature of the girl appealed to the
quiet, serious man. He managed to
be introduced at her home, and it
was easy to construe the meaning of
his frequent visits.
Marian grew to love the handsome,
distinguished looking man, and final
ly said yes to his suit. Her aunt re-
garded the match as highly adVan-
tageous and was correspondingly
pleased. =
One day he told Marian of the
pretty home he was building for her
in Rockley. A shadow passed over
her fact.
do you mean that we are to live
there?" she asked.
Why of course; my business is
there. Why, dear?"
ooh, nothing" she said, changing
the subject to hide her disappoint-
ment.
The more she thought of burying
herself the more distastefuI did it be-
come. Then it came upon her she
did not love this man as she had
thought she did or she would follow
him to the end of the earth.
At this crucial moment Marco To
rini appeared on the scene. He had
sung at a great charity concert and

PoLLoCK'S FOLLY
BY Mary L. Parrish

That's 'Pollock's FO1y'w
The bus driver never neglected to
point to the house on the hill when
giving information to new arrivals as
to points of interest in the little town
of RackIey. The house of graceful
architecture and spacious grounds
had something of the forlorn look of
a sightless person, with its boarded
up windows and the painless walls,
and locked gates completed the as
pect of desolatiOn.
mo, there amt anybody living
there, never has been," he went on.
1t amt even finished inside. Some
folks say it's haunted, but 1 don't be-
ieve that, cause it's never been
lived in. You see, Stephen Pollock
started building the house, when all
of sudden everything stopped. 1t
couldn't have been for lack of money
because that's his paper mill you saw
just before you come in on the train,
and it had been running steady for
quite a spell before that. No one
ever knew whether he was building
the house to rent or whether he
meant to get married and live in it
himself, for PoIock's one of them
cIose-mouthed kind that you could
not get a word out of with blasting
powder if he didn't want to talk.
There was plenty of offers to buy,
but Pollock just said it wasn't for
sale. He's in Boston now most of
the time and keeps to himself when
he's here and it's more'n ten years
since work stopped on that place.
Eyes, Pollock must be all of 45
now. He wasn't so awful young
when he started to build. He's fair
and square to his men and they all
swear by him."

Government Will Not COnfiscate
Canned Goods.

Prince Georges County housekeepers
who have been disquieted by the rumors
Of government seizure of their neat,
we'll filled jars on the kitchen shelves
for next winter, may proceed to can OF
dry the remaining surplus food with
patriotic diligence and an easy mind.
Uncle Sam has denied any intention of
seizing the canned or dried fooGstuffs
put up this year over and above the
actual need of the family larder.
This denial is issued by Mrs. H. ].
Patterson. general chairman of the
women's section of the county Council
of Defense, upon the authority of the
Department of Agricultural and the
Maryland Council of Defense. DR..
Thomas B. Symons, Director of the
Department of Agriculture work at
College Park has issued d statement to
all county agents in which a vigorous
refutation of the rumor that the gov
ernment would seize the housewife 8
pantry to supply the army, is made.
lie also points out that the rumor is
said to have originated from German
sources.
The following are quotations from
the Government circular denying the
rumor: Both the Food Administration
and the Department of Agriculture
join in a statement to counteract what
seems to be delibrate propaganda to
the effect that the Government intends
to take from every family all canned
goods put up in excess of 100 quarts.
Another statement is that the Gov
ernment has been urging the drying
and canning of food so that it will be
in a convenient form when it takes
them away from the people. No such
course has ever been contemplated by
the Government and the housewives
are urged to can and preserve all they
find of surplus vegetables and fruits
that their families may have cheap
and plentiful supply of food.
