q bit shaky on. There is nothing like two
serious thinkers getting together and putting
all pretense aside and barring their respective
souls to each other and really getting down to
the bottom of things. There is nothing I
would enjoy more than dropping into your
room, after the stress and toll of a busy day
are over, and having heart-to-heart chat
with you,
] know you are going to be busy and have
good many things your mind, but / hope
while you are here you will have time to study
our Ku-Klux Klan, as it is something new in
the way of Kingdoms and you may be able to
get some valuable pointers from it. They
have two officers you probably do not have on
your side of the water--the Imperial Wizard
and the King Kleagle, who rule over the In
visible Kingdom. The only way to run a
kingdom is to make people pay to get into it,
and that is the way we do it here on this side
of the pond. The person who wants to get in
has to pay the organizer, or Kleagle, $40, and
the organizer puts 81 Of it in his pocket and
sends the rest on to the King Kleagle, who
helps himself to 81 Of it. The remaining $5
goes to the Imperial" treasury, and that is the
last anybody has to bother about it. But the
candidate, or applicant, is not all the way in;
as you might say he is only in the vestibule or
waiting room. He has to buy his regalia.
which costs him $3.50, and then he is q member
in good standing.
II you could work out some such
plan over there it would help you to tell
who really wanted to be members Of your
kingdom and the people who just let things
drift.
Naturally, person who has stuck
as closa to home as you have wouldn't know
all the up-to-date points in running king
aou. and for that matter wouldn't be expect
ed to.
= ain not person to give my thoughts
sway miscellaneously and especially to where
they may not be appreciated, but believe
you to be man with an open mind and
don't think you know it all, like some people
could name
Well, must close for this time. Every
thing will be in readiness when you arrive,
but please remember about the bathroom like
cautioned you, because women folks don't
take into consideration that CUR minds will
be graphing with Important national affairs,
hat Just consider the water alone.

the very place. Thereafter Mr. Husband aban-
doned his seat on the trunk and resumed his
old place on the couch.
At his Office next day Mr.. Husband conceived
the idea that if any stranger happened to
bounce himself or herself on the couch it might
jeopardize the bottle. He conveyed the infor-
nation to Henrietta as soon as he reached
home. 1T will never do there" he insisted.
1--WE must find safer place..
By this time, due to it's continual handling,
some of the paper wrapper had come off the
bottle But the straw still remained about it.
Mr. Husband figured that about month had
elapsed since the bottle was left. 1t was be-
ginning to affect his nerves. "If the Joyces
only knew what lot of trouble they are Civ
ing they'd call soon,' he said. "I've got
feeling that maybe something has happened to
them-dead or something like that Have you
seen anything in the papers about double
tragedy, Henrietta?
On Henriettas assurance that she had seen
nothing of the kind in the papers, Mr.. Hus-
band began to look for new hiding place.
Behind some books on the top shelf. That was
the ideal place; it was wonder he hadn't
thought of that before. The books were pulled
out, the bottle rolled carefully back against
the wall and the books replaced. It was odd
that Mr.. Husband found among those books
many that he had long promised himself to look
over. He proceeded during the next few eve
nings to fulfill that promise Bits of straw be-
gan to attach themselves to the books as he
pulled them out. 1t was evident that in time
there would be straw left so far as
that bottle was concerned. Hence ne cautioned
himself to be more careful.
The Office force downtown began to notice
that change had come over Mr.. Husband.
He appeared always preoccupied and more
than ever eager to rush home at night. On
arriving home he presented wasted, haggard
look. Henrietta" he said with a show of
courage, II can't stand it any longer.
don't feel well. believe it's that bottle.
never felt the same since it came here Worry,
! guess it is. WYou know I've got feeling
that the Joyces will never come for it, that
they're dead or something, or that they don't
know we've got it for them.'
Henrietta appeared puzzled. 1t was al
ways her way wnen she understood situatica
perfectly.
Mr.. Husband summoned up all the courage
and stood in the middle Of the floor by way
Of dramatic emphasis
Il tell you what I am going to do: am
going to open that bottle" he asserted.
Henriettas temptation to scream was stified
by her secret acquiescence in her husbands de-
sign. Together they tenderly got down the
bottle, unwound the straw and, holding the
naked bottle before them at arms length, read
the label, inscribed: Warts Celebrated Cider
Vinegar. Warranted Absolutely Pure"

H when Henrietta, on returning to her
crowded little Greenwich Village studio,
discovered that her neighbor had left pack
age on the kitchen table she felt oppressed
with responsibility. Just enough of the
wrapper on the package had been torn to dis
close that it contained long g-necked bottle
swathed in straw. From hurriedly written
note left with the package Henrietta learned
that the neighbor, in departing for the VIM
ter, leaving the bottle to be called for
by the Joyces.
Henrietta's feeling was that there was
something entirely contrary to law in having
that bottle in her possession. Her impulse
was to hide it at once. She put it under the
kitchen table, where, perversely enough, it ap-
peared more conspicuous than ever. II wonder
when the Joyces will call for it?" she mused.
The approach of Henrietta's husband, as
indicated by his tread on the stairway, was
welcome, for she determined that Mr.. Hus-
band should solve the dilemma of the un.n-
vited bottle 1t is one of the masculine obliga-
tions to solve all problems in which bottle
is involved.
"5Smatter? You look worried interro-
gated Mr.. Husband. Henrietta pointed to the
straw-wrapped bottle under the table. "Ah!"
exclaimed Mr.. Husband, jubiantly, moistening

beginning to feel sense of weighty respon-

Finally he threw down the paper Henri
eta, we can't leave it ther.," he declared, i'm
patiently. Besides, something might-it's
awful to have that bottle around, isn't it? We
must put it where it can't be SEEM
Where to put it? The top Of the book
shelves was suggested. but it was found even
there that the neck stuck out. Underneath
the ice box? No, that would not do, for the
ice man would find it. Inside the trunk? Yes
: Inside the trunk it went That was relief
Now" explained Mr.. Husband, well Just
pretend that we haven't got it. I hope the
Joyces will call soon."
But the Joyces did not call soon.
Moreover, Mr.. Husband developed liking
for sitting on the trunk He told Henrietta
that he COULD read his paper much bettsr by
making couch on the trunk. Occasionally,
