NEW YORK, April 22.-Down in
an apartment on West Twelfth
street, Martin johnson, who voyaged
to the South Seas with Jack London
in the historic Shark and has made
frequent trips there since, Is resting
with Mrs. Johnson before starting
for unexplored sections of Africa.
Their apartment is a haven of
curios-poisoned darts, human heads
dried by cannibals, Borneo knives,
wild boar tusks and the like. John
| son, a modest fellow in his early
thirties, and his wife hail from a
| small town in Kansas and they have
visited spots never before touched
by white folk.
Through the courtesy of H. T.
Webster, the cartoonist, was priv
ileged to spend an evening with the
Johnsons at their apartment and
made the personal acquaintance of
Miss Bessie Johnson. a eS-pound. g.
year-old orang-outans from the
wilds Of Borneo.
Our geological tastes had recently
been heightened by the exchange OF
an alligator Webster sent me from
Florida and a baby ostrich I shipped
| to him from California. might say
! that I knew nothing Or Miss Bessie
before accepting the invitation.
Two little Borneo apes were play
ing about the apartment when we
arrived and we also saw some rare
birds. including two laughing jack
asses, long-billed birds that give
laughing brays as the sun comes
up and as 1t goes down.
After a time Mr.. johnson left the
crowd and suddenly there bounded
into the room Miss Bessie. It ap-
pears that by skillful maneuvering
was occupying her accustomed
chair. So she rushed toward me and
| grabbed me by the hands and lifted
me to my feet. To say that my hair
did q marvellous imitation of a com
edy fright wig would be faint ex-
| aggeration.
Yet Miss Bessie proved quite
harmless and extremely affectionate.
She sat on our laps, patted our
cheeks, gave orang -outang hugs
and was so intrigued by my wife's
blond hair that it may be necessary
to have II bobbed as a result. De-
spite her docility, all the evening
my mind reverted to Poe's Murder
at the Rue Morgue."
Even without MISS besie the even
ing would have been a memorable
one for placid New York cliff dwell
kers. We saw photographs Of man
eating tribes curing" human heads
over fires in the New Hebrides, the
| burial of live men who had grown
too old. babies whose heads had
been pressed into grotesque shape
by binding rope about them and a
devil-devil tribe that lived in a hut
made of mummified human bodies
Miss Bessie accompanied US to the
door, and I will always remember
the look OF young man who was
coming down the steps from an
apartment above. He gave Miss
Bessie a quick glance and disap-
peared. I have an idea he is still
on the roof of the apartment house

MateriaHsn1

The tendencies of the girls Of
today are SO material that they
form a real danger to America,
according to DR.. Eugene Lyman
Fisk, writing in a national wom-
ems magazine.
DR.. Fisk believes that the sue
cess Of the war business boom,
the war itself, and the separa-
tion Of mothers from the home
constitute the causes.
He further advocates a medical
examination for the debutante
the "subdeb," and all her little
sisters every year, and SO pre-
vent physical and nervous break
downs.
A conclusion is reached in the
article when he advocates a ma
tional program by the Girl Scouts
Endorsed by Mrs. Oliver Harrison,
president Of the Camp Fire Girls,
to encourage all girls to follow
the out-of-doors life, simplicity
OF living, with the idealism held
by the Girl Scouts.

The time for the game arrived.

them. It was thrilling.
During the innings that I
worked no one scored on me.
Eddie Collins did hit one down
the left field line for bases,
but in return had the satisfac-
ton of striking out his name
sake, John Collins, in a pinch.
Was I excited? well-yes.

Nancy closed the door on the por-
ter and turned to stare at Connie
In amazement.
why, 1 thought you were keen
about the doctor! You certainly
were engrossed enoush in conver-
sation with him"
'T was trying to fnd out what his

suggested Nancy. wickedly.
Connie rose with the air Of one
who wearily buckles on an armor.
That I will not do she declared,
and led the way to the observation
car.
The doctor was deep in conversa-
tion with a stranger when they ap-
preached. He got to his feet i'm

a quick glance at the two women,
sprang up and took an eager step
forward.

Harding, turning from greeting

The doctor sent a lightning glance
toward Nancy. It asked a question
which she answered by laying a
finger against her lips and nodding
her head slightly.
He moved q bit closer.

Iiberately. "One is to swear vio-

Nancy laughed deIightedly. 1t
was great fun to get a chance shot
at his maddening complacence. She
retorted carelessly:
"Isn I one woman's neck enough
for one week." Remember poor

To her amusement, the doctor
blanched noticeably. For a moment
his composure was utterly shaken,
and in the glance he sent her was
that queer indefinable something
which she had seen once before and
called-fear.
