PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
The Old Man
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

TT is just as 1 thought-feas never sleep
and I did not sleep much myself. Just
as l was doing off last night one would
grab me in a new place. AS soon as Rowdy
has had a good rest guess 1 will give back
his heas to him, for they are his and have
not got any right to keep what Is not
mine.
As l was not sleeping very we'll last
night, went in to see my burglar. He was
lying with his eyes wide open and the
light shaded He said, "Hello"' and so did
l. and l sat on his bed with my back against
the foot Of it and smiled at him and he
smiled back. | said You are like a flea
aren't you?" He wanted TO know why, and
told him that he was like a flea because
he never slept Then l told him how the
tleas had hoped on to me when lathered
Rowdy. He laughed and said he did not
sleep much nights because he slept so much
days. After that he told me a lot of in
teresting things about fieas and how far
they could jump IL they were as big as
me. They could jump to the moon, or else
he is fooing me- which he probably is.
Then I went back to my bed and slept
awhile and then 1t was Sunday morning and
nobody had got up but Levy TO go for my
father Rowdy and / went down TO the
kitchen and ate everything there was cooked
and then we rambled. We did not go near
the city, nut out the OtneT way. we came
to a bend in the road and at the bottom
Of a hill there were lot of vines as high
as a house and we could hardly see into
them, but we found place to look in and
away back in there was the littlest old
house we had ever seen. An old man was
sitting out on the porch, we went In.
When we got near him big dog ran out
and jumped on to Rowdy almost before
knew he was coming and jumped off again
almost as quick and went under the house
in hurry. Rowdy would have gone in
and brought him out If had not told him
not 10 go.
We went up to the porch where the old
man sat in rickety chair with his hands
on the top of a cane which stood on the
porch between his knees and his chin was
on his hands and he was chewing tobacco
without any teeth. I said. How do you
do?" He did not answer. I said, Good
morning" He said nothing at all. 1 said.
Are you real person or an enchanted
prince or Just a funny old mani" Then he
opened his face and said, 81 am a hundred
years old" l said, You look it,"
He had gone to chewing tobacco again
and 1 could not get him to say anything
more So l left him and began to look
around. There was a kind Of a good-looking
COW in the lot back of the yard, but she was
skinny because there was not much grass
this time Of year, and the barn and the shed
were all rickety and everything was rusty.
Then I went into the kitchen and found
bowl and spoon and there were a lot of
packages Of breakfast food on a shelf and
there was a pan of milk on the table.
stayed there and washed the dishes and
made fire in the stove and swept out the
house and washed the windows. BY that
time the dog came out and crawled to

To Take Rust From Cut Steel Beads

70 the Editor Of WOmdH's Page:
Dear Nfadam-Wiu YOU please tell what
will remove rust from cut steel beads? made
a handbag trimmed with steel beads for
Christmas present while in ATLANTIC City, ,,,-
Now I find they have rusted. Can you tur-
nish With any recipe? l have tried vinegar
also ammonia. READER
Any acid strong enough to surely and
quickly take the rust out of the beads
would injure the color of the fabric Of the
bag.
Here are two substitute methods
chemist suggests. Either or both may be
tried:
Take dry magnesia, such as comes by
the cake in the drug store, and rub it
thoroughly and plentifully on the beads with
your finger. Allow the powder to remain on
for an hour or two and then polish off.
Rub the beads with kerosene, Rub care
fully SO that the kerosene does not streak
the material In the bag, Polish of with
pumice stone powder. The more you work
on the beads the more rust you VIII be
able TO remove.

working like a beaver" we used
to say. Beavers are setting a new
record this year and working over
time. There is beaver on every
type of garment this year, and it
is the newest and smartest fur
you can use for trimming. In this
case it has been cleverly combined
with navy-blue velvet, and the eff
feet is particularly striking and
rich. The deep shawl collar is very
new and very becoming, and there
is a generous band Of the fur on
the skirt of the coat. Aside from
the use of the popular fur, this is
an exceptionally good model, being
simple and conservative and yet
following all the most approved
lines of the year. The exaggerated
flare of the coat skirt and the COM
paratively tight skirt are a return
to the silhouette of four or five
years ago that fashion approves
for this winter. The sleeves are
tight and plain, with big buttons,
and the coat fastens with a sash
that crosses over in front.
