ANDREW AND lMOGENE
By ROE FULKERsON

q see that the Wade family have moved" remarked Andrew as he toyed with his desert spoon.
 Yes" said Imogene smiling, Mrs Williams fixed her at last"
 What did Mrs. Williams have to do with it?" asked Andrew.
 Well" she replied, its rather a long story. It began when Mrs. Wade started that neighborhood clean-up two summers ago. You know she does set clement work and goes in for civic re- form and all that sort of thing, and she concluded that the yards in this neighborhood would all look better if they were uniform and all the fences were taken down. Everyone consented and took down their fences but Mrs. Williams would not cut down her box wood hedge.
 Mrs Wade is the most nervous woman you ever saw and she used to say that the hedge gave her nervous spells and at last she circulated a peti- ton and got lot of people to sign it asking Mr. Williams to cut down the hedge and kept up such a ding dong ing about it that Mrs. Williams at last had it cut down, but never spoke to Mrs. Wade afterwards
 Last winter MTS. w que run dBdinSt her for president of the Ladies Aid society and beat her because Mrs. Williams did not know she was going to have any opposition and did not ask any one to vote for her.
 "Of course that made Mrs. Williams mad and she was waiting for chance to get even and one day she saw Mrs. Wade come out and chase one of the little Henry boys from in front of her house because he was blowing a whistle.
 "She called the little Henry boy over and asked him about it and he said Mrs. Wade was nervous and whistling annoyed her to death.
 "So this spring Mrs Williams got very chummy with the Sunday school superintendent and of course you know how the boys all are since the war, all interest in anything military; she told him she thought it would increase the attendance at the Sunday school If they would get fife and drum crops in the Sunday school and she would buy the boys their flies and drums.
 "The superintendent thought it would be good thing, and between them. they got thirty boys in this inn mediate neighborhood and she bought twenty of them flies and ten of them drums and they rehearse in the church basement every Saturday night.
 Mine of the boys live in this block and they all have flies and all day long they play on them.
 About the time Tommy Walsh quits playing Marching Through Georgia you can hear the preliminary tootle- toot of the little Henry boy getting ready to play Dixie and before he Is through Willie Conway has opened up on over There.'
 "Well, they almost drove Mrs. Wade crazy and last week finished it.
 You know Red Young lives next door to the Wade family and his people all went away and left him there for week and Mrs, Williams offered to give the little fellow his meals. At dinner one night she told Red that she thought that the notes of the fife played in the moonlight were exactly
