CHAPTER vi.

The great French dramatist, dark,
pale-faced and corpulent, stood upon
the extreme edge of the stage, BRAN
dishing his manuscript in his hand. He
banged the palm of his left hand with
the rolled-up manuscript and looked at
them all furiously.
"The only success I care for" he
Numbered, sis an artistic success"
"With Miss Maurel playing your
leading part, NJ Graillot," the actor
manager declared, mot to speak of
company carefully selected to the best
of my Judgment, I think you may ven
ture to anticipate even that"
The dramatist bowed hurriedly to
Louise.
"You recall to me a fact" he said
CALAMITY, (which almost reconciles me
to this diabolical travesty Of some OF
my lines. Proceed, then-proceed! l
will be as patient as possible"
The stage manager shouted out some
directions from his box. A gentleman
in faultless morning clothes, who

ting the interlude, suddenly adopted the
puppetlike walk Of footman. Other
actors, who had been whispering to-
gether in the wings, came back to their
places. Louise advanced alone, little
languidly, to the front Of the stage. AT
the FIRST sound Of her voice nj. Grail
lot, noddlng his head vigorously, was
soothed.
Her speech was a long one. 1t
appeared that she had been arraigned
before a company Of her relatives, as
sembled to comment upon her mis-
deeds. She wound up with q passion
ate appeal to her husband, Mr.. Miles
Faraday, who had made an unexpected
appearance. NJ. Graillot's face, as she
concluded, was wreathed in smiles.
"Ah!" he cried. "You have lifted US
all up! Now feel once more the In
spiration. Mademoiselle, l KISS your
hand" he went on. ut is you who still

you are too serious for your years.
Sophy and I between us must try to
cure you of that! You see, we have
arrived"
He handed her out, followed her
across the pavement, and found him
self plunged into what seemed to him
to be an absolute vortex of human be-
ings, oil dressed in very much the
same fashion, all laughing and talking
together very much in the same note,
all criticizing every fresh group of ar
rivals with very much the same eyes
and manner. The palm court was
crowded with little parties seated at
the various round tables, partaking
languidly of the most INDECENT meal Of
the day. Even the broad passageway
was full Of men and women, standing
about and talking or looking for tables.
One could scarcely hear the music of
the orchestra for the babel of voices.
The prince of Seyre beckoned to them
from the steps. He seemed to have
been awaiting their arrival there-a
cold. immaculate, and, considering his
lack of height, a curiously distin-
guished-looking figure.

The Squirrel DoQ.

There Is no accounting for that IN,
canny faculty that enables homely,
long-legged, sad-eyed pup to go I'M
erringly to lofty oak tree in whose
higher branches a bit Of animated
brown fur is secreted. Another dog
of the same or more prepossessing up
pearance and of better breed might
trot unconcernedly past that same oak
tree without so much as a casual snifr.
But not so with the real squirrel dog"
He'd pick out the right tree in the
densest grove q hunter ever penetra,-
ed. And if that squirrel started leap

follow it over q square mile Of TIM

Stephen threw the paper upon the

Stephen turned away and lit his

two furiously. His thick eyebrows
came closer and closer together. He
seemed to be turning some thought
over in his mind.

WILL NOT SEIZE
HOME FOODS
Government Issues Denial of Re-
port That 1t Is Going to Com
mandeer Housewives Pantry.

There is no truth in a widely circulat-
ed statement that the Government ex-
poets to take. food supplies from any
family. Both the Food Administration
and the Department of Agriculture Join
in statement to counterfeit what seems
to be deliberate propaganda to the eff
feet that the Government intends to
take from every family all canned
goods put up IN excess of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations of
the rumOr, which has been widely cir
culated. Another statement is that the
Government has been urging the can
ming, drying and preserving of fruits
and vegetables so that they will be in
a convenient form for the Government
to handle and transport when it takes
them away from the people Further
elaboration is that these goods are to
be taken away from the American
homes and shipped to England.
In one instant motorist stopped at
a farmhouse to fill the radiator of his
automobile. In the course of conversa-
ton he casually inquired whether the
farmer S family was canning all the
surplus fruits and vegetables in order
to help conserve the food supply. He
was informed that the farmer was not
doing so because the Government in
tended to take all the canned goods
away except a small part of it actually
needed by the farmer itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has eyer been con-
templated by the Government. On the
contrary, both the Department of Ag-
rlculture and the Food Administration
are strongly urging housewives to can
and preserve, especially at this time.
all surplus fruits and vegetables in
order that the households themselves
may have cheap and plentiful supply
of food.
