A GOOD MISTAKE
BY M. ALliNE WEEKS.

&c. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)
There was an air of expectancy
about the place. as though 1t had been
waiting for centuries for deliverance
from the ties that held 1t there. Even
Elias Upton, station agent, general
store proprietor and postmaster, lay
back in his chair against the wall Of
the station and slept soundly as the
train ratified in, stopped to let pas
senger Off, and went out again.
The departing train left Elizabeth
Ann standing Oh the platform with
suitcase in each hand. Not a human
being was in sight, except the station
agent, and ii was with some misgiv-
ings that she spoke to him. Still he
slept, and it took sharp poke to
awaken him.
"Bless them fiiesi" said Elias, as he
slapped at fly reposing on his bald
head. Then he sleepily opened one
eye and saw Elizabeth Ann.
"Well-what do you want?" he said.
"Can you tell me where Mrs. Elwell
lives?"
"Yes, but she went to Boston this
morning on business. so she said. Be
back Saturday." drawled Elias.
"Did you ever! How could she for
get that I was coming" said Elizabeth
Ann, half to herself. Then to Elias:
"It's certain I've, got to stay, now I'm
here; so IL you will tell me how to
get there, I'll keep house until she
comes"
After directions as TO where to find
the key, she started out, and In
short time came to a little white house
set far back from the road. The cur
tains were drawn, and the porch chairs
piled up in one corner Of the veranda.
81 didn't know Aunt Mira had such
a pretty place, but it must be the one.
He said the key was behind the blind
for the ice man, so I can get in all
right"
The house was prettily furnished,
and after opening up some windows,

She went to he'd about nine o'clock in
what appeared 10 be the guest room, as
Elizabeth Ann had been invited by
her aunt. Mira Elwell. to spend her
vacation with her at BrOOksidc. EliZ-
abeth Ann had never been there be-
fore, and did not know much about
Aunt Mira. except that she was her
mothers favorite sister.
The first two days and nights passed
without interruption, but on the third
night Elizabeth Ann was awakened in
the night by an automobile coming up
the drive. Some one unlocked the door
and soon Elizabeth Ann heard voices
below In the kitchen. She opened her
bedroom door and listened, wondering
II It were burglars.
"Say, mother" said a masculine
voice, "here's q pink sweater and some
other things I never saw before"
"And some ones eaten what we left
In the refrigerator. There has been
some one in this house. Looks like
a strange woman was In this house
now"
At this Elizabeth Ann hastily slipped
on q kimono and cap and stepped out
into the hall, but drew back as young
man came up the stairs.

"My name Is Elizabeth Ann Taylor,
and am keeping house until my aunt
gets back from Boston. She invited me
to spend my vacation with her; so
here I am" was the answer.

BY this time the lady addressed as

she saw the girls embarrassment.
"Who is your aunt. my dear?" she
asked.
Mrs. Elwell, my mothers sister

There is some mistake. I'm not

stupid of me not to have remembered
"Then this isn't my aunt's house, and
I've eaten up all your food, and"
By this time Elizabeth Ann was In
tears. Robert Elwell, for this was
Mrs. Elwell's son, walked out and left
the two women alone. Mrs. Elwell
arranged that Elizabeth Ann should
stay with her until some time the next
day. when Robert would drive her over
to Aunt Mira's.
When the mistake was explained to
Amt Mira the next day she laughed

HOW TIMES DO CHANGE
BY FLOYD MACGRIFF,


LONDON. Jan. 2-There'a money in
fieas, AYERS Prof. Mark Northcote of
Hackney, flea specialist. BY means of
his trained flea circus he's Travelled four
times around the globe and made his liV-
ing. IN
The professor -. short of fess, just
the common jumpy variety, but not dog
or cat feas. They're lazy. He's so short
of them that he's advertising for good
healthy fleas at 60 cents 4 dozen.
4 never had any difficulty in getting
feas in Australia said Northcote. when
I ran short l just went to the nearest
barn or where men sleep together, got
blanket and put it in the sun. In about
five minutes out came the tleas and Ia
put the biggest ones in bottles"
"What do you feed them on, profess
sor; mulberry leaves?'
NO" came his answer, as he bared
his right arm Myself.
On his arm were millions Of little red
spots 1t looked as though he had scar
let fever from the wrist to the elbow,
and a particularly bad attack at that.
once every other day, when they're
not working, feed them" said the pro-
fessor But when heyre working they
get two meals, one just after breakfast
for the afternoon performance and one
about supper time for the evening show.
"And how long does it take to train
flea to perform, professor? What are
some of the difficulties and how do you
overcome them?"
"Oh!' said he, 1T takes three or four
days to make them behave themselves,
and it's very simple.
"a flea naturally jumps. And though
1t may help him over many difficulty
a.
teach him to walk.
$50. for the first few days he goes
into a little glass test-tube, securely
corked He tries to get out and jumps
to the top; he jumps again, falls down
and hurts himself Two or three days
of this usually subdues him, and then
he's ready to be harnessed.
"Now a flea is like an elephant; he
has trunk in front and regular neck.
Round his neck you place collar and to
this fasten piece of wire, fine as human
hair. and harness the gentleman to
little carriage, about one-half or three
quarter inches long and one quarter inch
deep. Having learned his lesson in his
tube, the gentleman walks and drags the
carriage.
when heas are plentiful I have had
street cars drawn by six or eight heas
and driven by a cOachman. And in
nv new show there will be a regular
cabby, whip in hand.
Well, a flea will hold on to anything
he touches" So he's set on the cabby
seat and held in position by a piece
Of fine wire fastened to his collar and
secured behind him. This leaves his feet
out in front A piece of wire with a
hair on the end-the whips placed
against these feet and the flea holds on
tight. keeping the whip in the correct
position.
THUS, with variations, can make
them turn wheels, draw up buckets OF
water, and run races"
The professor says he took in S105
one day in three hours at his flea circus,
admission being 8 cents.
