CHAPTER vi

When Shirley Sumner descended to
the breakfast room on the morning
following her arrival In Sequoia, the
first glance at her uncles stately
countenanee informed her that during
! the night something had occurred to
irritate Colonel Seth Pennington and
startie him out Of his customary bland
composure.
Shirley" he began, did hear you
calling young Cardigan on the tele-
phone after dinner last night or did

"Your ears are all right, Uncle Seth.
I called Mr.. Cardigan up to thank him
for the pie he sent over, and incident
ally to invite him over here to dinner
on Thursday night"
'T thought I heard you asking some
body to dinner, and as you don't know
a soul In Sequoia except young Cardl-
gan, naturally opined that he was to
be the object Of our hospitality"
81 dare say IT'S quite all right to
have invited him, isn't it. Uncle Seth?'

She pretended to be very busy with

Shirley, left alone at the breakfast
table, picked idly at the preserved figs

CUT OUT THE FIREWORKS

Why will otherwise good people desecrate with
fireworks the day which ought to be held sacred
10 the Prince of Peace2
There is no excuse whatever for this practice
1t is contrary to all the sentiment and tradition of
the day. Its effect would be-if one considered
anything but the hubbub with which the hours are
made hideous-to treat the Son of God as a mill
tary heroic decorate Him, as it were, with our
equivalent of the iron cross Of Prussia.
Besides the use of fireworks displays an un-
christian disregard of public safety and the comfort
Of others, as well as showing the barbarous in
stncts of the users. Public authorities should stop
it, if public conscience and the peoples sense Of
decency not sufficient to prevent it.
If you want to spend the price of bunch of
cannon crackers in celebrating, just stop moment
and ask what Christ himself would dop Would
He go out on the streets. torment the sick. the
nervous and the busy with savage racket, and
risk burned houses and mangled fingers for him
self and His friends or would He invest the
price Of this unnecessary bedam in something to

Congress can not and will not pass the soldier

ent session The money can not be raised with
out the imposition Of new taxes which would raise
such storm of protest that nobody in Office could
live under it.
Members of both houses and of both political
parties. know this perfectly. Why, then, do they
lack the manhood to say SO in plain words?
The trouble is, congressman and senators want
the soldier vote To secure it, they feel they must
pretend to do something for the soldier. The lower
house, where the measure must originate, is evil
IDENTIFY determined to set itself right and pass
the buck, leaving to the senate the odium Of de-
feating measure which neither house really wants
to pass; or if The senate fails. let the president
shoulder tie blame by yetong il
Such methods bring dscredit 10 our legislative
system The common good has to take back
seat while members jockey for votes. All the
people, supposed to be somewhat apathetc and
gullible when considered en- masse, have to stand
secondary to smaer-intrrests which are alert and
know exactly what they want. The bonus bill

THE SAFE SIDE

Too long. too long have graeeless scamps defed

back and all equipped to kill, he thus delivers at

A WISE DECISION

Democratic senators have agreed. according to
news dispatch, to await a full explanation of
tie new four power treaty before discussing it or
taking any stand on it. Tha; is right. The state
department is entitled 10 untrameled opportunity
to negotiate and prepare its program. But the
senate has right to know, when the treaty is
finally presented not only what it actually means,
but what underlying reasons exist for its adoption
The treaty is curious outcome of conference
called ostensibly for the purpose of armament re-
dAction. The amount of reduction proposed is
almost negligible, and, SO far as we can see with
the naked eye, is not in any sense in the interest
Of future peace On the contrary, the agreement
for maintaining navies of uniform ratios of
strength, and bonding together for the mutual pro-
teSton of interests in the Far East looks so much
lie the old fashioned alliance for the purpose Of
dominating the rest Of the world that it will take
Ipt of explaining to remove that impression.
democrats should remain open minded on the
subject; and, more important still, if possible they
slSuld remain open eyed They are under no

evidence Of the stability of trust companies has
been forthcoming during their entire history than
was demonstrated during the past year in connec-
ton with their banking operations. The year
ending June 80, 1921, covered by the latest re-
turns as given in the 1922 edition of Trust Com
panies of the United States, was one of tremend-
Gus recession of prices and values attended by re-
ductlon OF bany loans, contraction of credit and
rapid falling off of deposits. Notwithstanding these
adverse conditions, the resources of the trust COM
panies of the United States as of June 30, 1921,
amounted to $I2,323,43OOOO for the 1890
companies reporting, decrease for the year Of
only $l26.000,000. This situation, coupled with
the fact that substantial increase is shown in all
branches of hduciary business, is extremely graft
flying, and affords further and convincing proof of
the recognition by both corporations and indvid-
uals of the value of trust company service"

REVISED HER GOOD OPINION Will Be Long Before Young Woman Gan Have Any Respect for
 Crusty Old Man.

The other evening a young law yer took his bulldog in his machine when he took his best girl out driV- ing. And as he drove up to her house out jumped his dog and clinched with the dog of the man who lived next door to her home. Then the fight began and it lasted long and was hard. But finally the two dogs were parted and the girl stood fear fully awaiting the ''balling out" she was sure her crusty neighbor would give her best beau. But he did noth- ing of the sort. He kicked his own dog back into his house and talked affably with the lawyer.
 The lawyer, too, was surprised. He voiced his, 'HWell, you certainly are a good scout" :" he said. 'Most men would have been mad over my dog fighting yours"
 'NO, sir, Pm a good neighbor," :" the old man said, and the girl began to feel more kindly toward him than she had ever felt before. But the next minute her kind feeling de- parted. For he finished, 'I wouldn't do a mean trick to any of my neigh bors like discouraging their daugh- ter's beaus. I've got two old maid daughters myself just a few years older than the two who live here" Indianapolis News.

HOTEL FOR HORSES.

In that section of Berlin known as Charlottenberg there is a veri- table hotel for horses. This hotel if we may be permitted to call even a de luxe stable hotel-provides luxurious quarters for the horses of a Berlin bus company, as well as rents rooms by the day, week or year for horses visiting or staying per- manently in the city. The structure, which is of brick, is three stories high. On each floor there is a roomy balcony running the full length of the building and available for exer- cising the horses. An inclined run way leads to all balconies. A corps of uniformed attendants look after the horses and give them every care and attention that efficient hotel service can devise.-Scientifc American.

ROBBED THE DEVIL OF FOOD
Cynical Caribbean Chief Tells of Ap- propriating Supplies Left for His
 Satanic Majesty.

No part of the West Indies seems to have escaped piratical visitations. The Caribbee islands, inhabited solely by redskins, who knew noth- ing of gold or bad habits, were ire quently called upon. Esquemeling, the chief of pirate historians, tells of the Caribbee customs, notably that of the widowed Caribbee wom- an, who was obligated by custom to carry choice foods to the grave of her husband for 12 months and aft CT that dig up the bones, scrape and polish them and carry them on her back for another year before she could marry again. It was the popu- lar belief, says Esquemeling, that the devil ate the food, "but 1 my self, not of this opinion, have often times taken away these offerings and eaten them instead of other victuals. To this I was moved be- cause I knew that the fruits used on these occasions were the choicest and ripeSt of all. ."-New York Tribune.
