WHY DID MADGE AND DICKY
STARE AT EACH OTHER, YET
FEAR TO VOICE EACH
OTHERS THOUGHTS?

OTHERS IHODGHISE
Dicky's angry face matched his
voice as ne came upon the tableau
OF the unknown wanderer and my
self inspecting the fine fish which I
had caught. Both brought me quick
~ down from my child-like revel
in the catching Of my first trout.
and landed me with "A thump in the
familiar commonplace OF Dicky's
displeasure.
AS ne shot the angry query at
me: What in thunder does this
mean Madge 2"-the shabby. queer
man at my side gave him one fright
ened glance. and then lifting his hat
TO me, hurriedly, but with an old
world grace. took two or three quick
strides into the underbrush and dis
appeared. We could hear him crash
ing upward through the trees and
brush that lined the bank and 1
waited until his footsteps died away
before I made any answer TO Dicky's
question.
What does what mean2' I asked
at last, and ] made my tone as pro-
vokingly innocent as I could. I felt
quite mistress OF the situation. for
I was morally certain that Dicky
had not been successful in his little
excursion up the brook, and that
there were no fish in his creel
Don't put on such an innocent
air" Dicky grOwled 81 suppose you
think this is the wilderness, and all
conventions go by the board. but
let me tell you it's a pretty civilized
wilderness, and hobnobbing with 4
tramp over the catching Of a trout
isn't exactly the thing"
"Oh. I am sure he is not a tramp,
Dicky" I protested with a pretense
of righteousness which I knew
would irritate him. I was sure that
II he had seen the man as I had,
had noticed his child-like demeanor,
and the evidence Of a slightly cloud
ed mentality which I had glimpsed
in his eyes, he would not have been
so annoyed at my talking to a
stranger. But the cavalier way in
which he had left me still ranked.
I meant 20 tantalize Dicky a little
longer, so with the most ingratiating
smile I could manage 7 followed up
my protest with a query:
Did YOU catch a trout. Dicky ?"
''RisIIy business Though"
My liege lord opened his mouth &c
retort angrily Then he caught my
face trimming with merriment. and
with one Of his Kaleidoscope
changes Of mood which make Dicky
so lOvahle, ne first grinned reluot-
antly and then laughed aloud
IT guess YOU have It on me. all
right" he admitted. "'Pon honor,
I really didn't mean TO leave YOU
alone on your first trouting expedi-
ton. But the feel OF a rod i'm my
hands always makes me irrespons
ible. Jove, but this is a whopper
YOU caught! Did you get him your
self?"
"Of course I did" I returned in
dignantly "But 7 never could have
done it if that man hadn't shown
me how"
Where did he come from ?'
Dicky asked, then with a sudden
thought This man had a brown
beard Was he the same fellow
who frightened you so when you
saw his face looking through the
underbrush a little while ago."
Yes. ne was" 7 returned, and

REVELATIONS OFA WIFE

my impressions and thoughts TO
Dicky which is always present with
me, l added hastily:
But, Dicky. he Is just like
child. I think he has been a gentle
man. and that there is or has been
something wrong here" I touched
my forehead. But I would as soon
think Of being afraid Of kitten as
OF him"
Risky business, though, grOwl-
ed Dicky. l saw all the signs Of a
lecture concerning the danger I
might have been in. and was glad Of
an interruption that came in the
shape Of some one running wildly
through the underbrush.
We heard the sound of hurrying
footsteps. and even as we turned
TO look. Fred Cosgrove. one Of the
twin boys at the farmhouse Of mys-
terry, where we were staying, burst
into view

ed with a pitiful attempt at boyish
jauntiness, his eyes rowing restlessly
from bank to bank Of the stream as
he spoke.
Dicky's eyes and mine met in Il
glance of bewilderment.
Mrs. Graham caught one" Dicky
replied. "a big one. see!" and he
opened my creel into which he had
transferred my trout from the land
ing net.
Gee! that is a big one!" the boy
returned. and then with an elab-
crate air of nonchalance. You
didn't happen TO see a thin man with
a brown beard going along this way

let Dicky answer the boy.
He went right up that bank just
few minutes ago." Dicky said,

MOST SUCCESSFUL
 CHAUTAUQUA ENDS
Davies Light Opera Company Gave "Mikado' as the Final Number, in Effective Fashion-Will Bone in
 the Afternoon.

The Davies Light Opera Company and Will Bone, poet and humorist, the attractions at the Chauauqua Wednes- day afternoon and night, were splen- did numbers as closing features for the best chautauqua ever held in Mena. The program turnout was well-bal- anced, making the session truly five days "of patriotism, inspiration and entertainment"
 In the afternoon the Davies Light Opera Company furnished the pre- Jude, giving delightful program of clever and artistic vocal music. Will Bone, the poet, humorist and philos- opher in his readings and story brought a message, while of lighter vein than some of tke lectures pre- viously given was of such nature as to be particularly appreciated and helpful as the closing number when chauauqua fans" were surfeited with the heavier and more serious lec- lures.
 The program in the evening was given entirely by the Davies Light Opera Company in the presentation Of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic light opera, "The Mikado," which music lovers pronounced the best musical number of the session In spite of the thratening storm, causing uneasiness in the audience, the members of the caste were given the closest attention and when the finale came, there were many who regretted that the program was ended and that the Mena Chau- tauqua of 1918 was matter of his- tory only as the influence of the music readings and lectures will leave an im- press on the lives of the men, women and children of Mena, making for the realization of that new time so elo- quentiy portrayed by Dr. L. c. Gii- bert at the close of his lecture on Tuesday night.

GIRLS! ITS YOUR
 STEP THAT ATTRACTS!
Says Women Pay Too Much Heed to Their Face Instead of
 Their COrus

Watch your step! A brisk, lively step is what charms more than love- ly skin, but your high heels have caused corns and you limp little. That's bad, girls, and you know it. Corns destroy beauty and grace, oe- sides corns are very easy to remove. Rid your feet of every corn by ask ing at any drug store for quarter of an ounce of freezone This will cost little but it is sufficient to remove every hard CT soft corn oi callus from ones feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon tender touchy corn relieves the sore ness and soon the entire corn. root and all, lifts right out without pain. This freezone is gummy substance which dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without milan or even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Women must keep in mind that cornless feet create youthful step which enhances her attractiveness.

TALKED ON THE Y. M. c. A.
Judge Prickett Gave Interesting Re-
 view of Splendid Work.

An interested and alternative au- dience attended the Presbyterian church Sunday night, the occasion be- ing an address by Judge Wright Prickett on the organization and de- veloplnent of the Y. M. c. A., and more particularly the war work that is being done by this organization. It will be remembered that Judge Prick cit and Minor Pipkin last month spent nine days at the Y. M. c. A. training school in San Antonia, Tex, and from the rich experience gained during that time the speaker brought to his hearers some of the great things that are being done for the boys in training camps and overseas. He introduced his subject by showing the progress that has been made in industrial life by the invention of la Tor saving machinery using as an il- hstration the development in the in- dustries of spinning and weaving. Likewise, he pointed out that there has been the same sort of develop ment in matters religious, the organi- zation of the Y M c. A. in 1S44 be- ing one of the forward steps in re- ligious progress. From brief history of the first organization of few members whose annual dues were AS cents and whose initiation fee was 12 cents, he passed to a discussion of the present status of the organization, showing that it owns millions of dol lars worth of property and has mem bership of thousands, and world wide field for activity.
 At the training camps, he found during his stay at San Antonio. the r. M. C. A. takes the place of home for the boys, giving them particular attention from 5:30 p. m., when they are released from drill, until the hour of bedtime, time when many of them would doubtless go wrong thru gambling. drinking or rioaous living if it were not for the influence of the Y. M. c. A. The organization, true to the purpose of developing the body. mind and soul, has experienced secre- taries to look after this three-fold de- velopment, and ahove all, the geat purpose is to live up to the motto; "You Make Christianity Attractive" !" thus by example more than by pre- cept leading the bays to Christian citizenship.
