AMUSING Old Tales

DR.. Fluid, the Rosicrucian, told of
an Italian nobleman who lost great
part of his nose in a duel. A piece Of
flesh cut from, the arm of slave was
applied, and the Italian had again a
seemingly natural nose. The slave,
freed, went to Naples, where he died,
and at that instant gangrene appeared
on the Italians nose. The part that
belonged to the dead mans arm was
cut off by the advice of physicians.
Flesh was taken from his own arm
and applied. He rejoiced in his new
nose until he, too, died. See EdRond
About's ingeniously amusing romance,
"The Nose of a Notary; also Sir
Kenelm Digby's discourse Concern
ing Power of Sympathy" (1660).

preachers sons and deacons' daugh-
tiers, but have no great concern re-
speeding them. (The writer is one of
them.) 1t is true that much, and
MUCH too much is expected of them.
They are constantly in the eye of the
members of the congregation, and little
allowance is made for their shortcom-
ings. Trivial offenses are magnified,
and they are rarely treated with real
justice. Yet in long life have

there have been very few "black

going to build logging road, and re-
CARELESS OF who the builders were, he
would have to fight them in self-pro-
lection. How are you going to cover
your trail, my SOM"
Bryce pondered. II will, to begin,
have a dummy board of directors.
Also, my road cannot be private;
since we must be common carrier,
we might as well carry our deception
still further and incorporate for the
purpose of building road from Sc
quota TO Grants Pass, Ore, there to
connect with the Southern Pacific"
John Cardigan smiled. "The old
dream revived, Ell? Well, the old
jokes always bring hearty laugh.
People will laugh at your company,
because folks up this way realize that
the construction cost of such road
is prohibitive."
well, since we're not going to build
more than twelve miles of our road
during the next year, and probably not
more than ten miles additional during
the present century, we won't worry
over it. 1t doesn't cost cent more to
procure q franchise to build road
from here to the moon. If we fail to
build to Grants Pass, our franchise to
build the uncompleted portion of the
road merely lapses and we hold only
that portion which we have construct
ed. That's all we want to hold. More
over, deeds to rights of way can be
drawn with time-limit, after which
they revert to the original owners"
"Good strategy, my son. And GER
tainly as a common carrier we will be
welcomed by the farmers and cattle
men along our short line"
well, that about completes the
rough outline 'of our plan. We have
a year in which to build our road; if
we do not hurry, the mill will have to
shut down for lack of logs, when our
contract with Pennington expires"

Shirley carried to bed with her that
night the woes of the Cardigans, and
in the morning she telephoned MORA
McTavish and invited the latter to
lunch with her at home that noon.
When MORA came, Shirley saw that
she had been weeping.
"My poor MORA % she said. putting
her arms around her visitor. "What
has happened to distress you? There,
there, dear! Tell me all about it."
MORA laid her head on Shirley's
shoulder and sobbed for several min
utes. Then, "It's Mr.. Bryce" she
walled. Hes so unhappy. Some
things happened; they're going to
sell Cardigan's redwoods; and they
don't want to. Just before 1 left the
office, Mr.. Bryce came inland stood
a moment looking-at me-so tragi-
cally II asked him what had hap
pened. Then he patted my cheek-oh,
l know I'm just one of his RESPONSE
bilities-and said, Poor MORA! Never
any luck! and went into his-private
office. l waited little, and then
went in, too; and-oh, Miss Sumner,
he had his head down on his desk, and
when l touched his head, he reached
up and took my hand and held it
and laid his cheek against it little
while-and oh, his cheek was wet.
It's cruel of God-to make him-un-
happy. He's good-too good. And
oh, love him So Miss Shirley, love
him so-and he'll never, never know.
I'm just one of his-responsibilities

But nObody-has ever been kind to

and gentle to nobodies."
Moira's story-her confession of
love, so tragic because so hopeless
stirred Shirley deeply. She seated
herself in front of MORA and cupped
her chin in her palm.
"Of course, DEAR" she said, you
couldn't possibly see anybody you
loved suffer so and not feel dreadfully
about it. And when man like Bryce
